Chapter 10

“I’m Snowflake! But you can call me Snow,” the Wyvern said. She had a soft but firm voice.

Instantly, Ares’ manners training kicked in. “I’m Ares, Prince of the Lightning Wyverns. Pleasured to meet you.” Well, former prince, but she didn’t have to know that.

“Wow! What’s a prince doing here?” Snow asked, her eyes bright.

“Looking for a friend,” Ares replied. “Maybe you saw her? She’s light blue, like the blue featherlight on my back. A little smaller than me and also a Lightning Wyvern.”

Snow thought for a moment. “Sorry, I haven't seen her. Anyways, you’re a Lightning Wyvern?”

Snow patted a spot next to her on the platform, and Ares settled in.

“Yep!” Ares nodded. He didn’t even mind that he basically said he was a Lightning Wyvern twice already. Razz and Jazz listened on in silence.

“You are awfully big for a Pure-Bred Lightning Wyvern,” Snow said. “Are you sure? You’re almost as big as I.”

Ares felt a little offended until he remembered that he probably wasn’t Pure-Bred. He decided to end the subject. He had a strange feeling, as if he had to impress this Wyvern. She wouldn’t be impressed if she knew he was a mixed Wyvern.

Razz piped in, “What type of Wyvern are you?”

Snow looked quizzically at Razz and Ares figured that she was shocked by his deep voice.

“I’m a Tropical Ice Wyvern,” Snow stated proudly.

Ares had heard of them. They were a newer breed of Wyvern, bigger and stronger than plain Ice Wyvern. Although Snow was big, typical for a Tropical Ice Wyvern, she was still smaller than Ares. Usually, Tropical Ice Wyverns were bigger than Lightning Wyverns.

‘This is all confusing,’ Ares thought.

“Need help looking for a friend?” Snow offered. “I’m bored.”

Ares grinned. “Let’s get to lookin’.”
