Frost Wing, the last of his kind, the frost dragons having been wiped out from the fire drakes during the great dragon wars.

He watched the pony walk into his cave. She wasn't like the rest of them, having a crown upon her head. The pony walked right up to him, looking right into the large blue iris of his eye. She didn't seem to be afraid of him, like the others, she seemed determined to have his audience, so he began to lift his massive white head off from the floor where it had rested for the last three hundred years....

The geat White Dragon

Princess Twilight followed Celestia down a path through the Everfree Forest. A path that was unknown to her, even though she herself had lived for nearly eight hundred years. The path was old, far older than that of twilight, and was made of stone. Vines covered the path and the trees surrounding, but no animal life could be seen.

"Are you wondering why I brought you down this path Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked as they walked down the path toward it's end.

"Kind of, but my mind has been traveling around a little, you know, the usual," Twilight answered as she caught up to the white princess.

"Hmm, your mind travels there a lot, but you know that they will not return, they crossed over long ago, but maybe this will help," Celestia said as they drew near a large cave opening.

"What do you mean Princess?" Twilight said as she looked at the cave.

"This cave is the resting place of a mighty hero from a different time," Celestia said as she approached the entrance.

"What do you mean, this looks like a dragon's cave, but Spike doesn't live here, he was around the great prairies the last time I wrote to him," Twilight said, looking to the entrance.

"No, not Spike, but another great dragon leader," Celestia answered.

The entrance itself was covered in a glassy material, and had a certain chill to it that felt like winter.

"He has slept here for at least five hundred years," Celestia said as she entered the cave.

They entered the cave and walked carefully down the cave floor, as it was covered in ice.

A mighty voice thundered across the cave, and glowing Blue eyes lit up from the back of the cave. "Who Dares enter my domain."

"It is I Frost Wing, Celestia, and I bring my pupil and former student, Twilight Sparkle," Celestia said in an elevated voice.

"Ahh, the white one, you returned, and you brought a friend....... have you come for that purpose I asked of you?" Frost Wing Said, his voice thundering the cave walls, though he spoke in a low tone.

"Yes, and I have brought Twilight for it, as she can take notes and create a far better chronicle than that of I," Celestia said, as she brought out a quill and a very long piece of Parchment from Twilight's saddle bag and gave them to the purple alicorn.

"We are ready whenever you are Frost Wing," Twilight said with utmost respect.

"Then I shall begin my story, prepare yourself, to hear of the lands of equestria and the dragon lands three thousand years ago," Frost wing said as he began to spin the tale of his life after the great Dragon war, and as the lord of dragons. He raised his massive white head, that had seen many long winters, and many long rests, and began his story.

The life and times of Frost Wing, lord of Dragons

My life was began in the harsh lands of the dragon empire, when I broke through my white crystal engraved egg, and found that I was different from my brethren. I was brought forth into a clutch of Fire drakes, and my mother had seen me as a runt and had abandoned me. I rose from the shell, defenseless, and without a way to nourish myself, I was in a predicament. The first few years of my life were difficult, finding food was hard, not knowing where to dig for gems. I spent a few years with some of the water dragons to the east, eating extras from their daily catches, that their young did not eat themselves.

My dragon breath had not yet formed, so I could not subdue any prey or melt rock away for gemstones. My protectors began to worry for me, and eventually evicted me from my home leaving me to the wilderness of the Everfree Forest and it's creatures. By this time I had grown considerably and was considered a adolescent dragon, but still had not gained my dragon breath. From there I journeyed to the north, far to the north, until I began to see the snow, a substance I had never previously seen.

When I seen the snow for the first time, a spark ignited inside of my gut, and dragon breath poured into me. I took a deep breath, and let my breath combine with the air I inhaled and let out the biggest burst of Frost I had ever seen. It was then I knew my place, my calling. I had heard of Frost dragons from my water Dragon family. They were mostly illusive and kept to themselves, but contained a great power that had been unmatched in the dragon kingdom, but they were unable to work with each other, so one by one they had fallen to the might of the fire drakes, who journeyed there to rid the north of the magnificent beasts.

They had called it a war, but it was mostly a slaughter. There had been casualties on the side of the fire, but Frost had never stood a chance, because they refused to come to another's aid. I read through the history stones of my kind, but it was only told from the standpoint of fire, telling of selfish brutes. I began to fly across the north, the snow becoming part of me and I searched, for some sign that any of them may still be out there. I searched everywhere for the ancient frost text that was written, but it seemed that I searched for naught, and I never found the stones of Frost, the first Frost Dragon and original ruler and lord of dragons.

After about fifty years or so, I stopped the search and decided that I would instead make a new history for my kind, and took another name then the one given to me. Frost Wing, that's what I began to call myself. I flew south out of the winter lands and to the south, to the great fire nation, and found no more welcome than that of my own kind. They humiliated me, telling me that I was but a child among giants, and banished me to the frozen north, where I waited and grew strong, strong enough to challenge that of the fire drake leader himself, whoever he was.

"Hold on, please," Twilight said as a yawn escaped her. "I know that you just awoken, but me and Celestia are tired, could we get some rest and continue in the morning?"

The massive white head thought for a moment, and then answered. "Yes, we will continue in the morning, and if you will excuse me.." Frost Wing said as he began to stand up from the comfort of his cave floor and began to walk to the entrance, leaving a tremor every time one of his massive white claws struck the cave floor, "I will be leaving to find me a decent meal, I will return by morning." After he cleared the cave entrance, Frost Wing unfurled his great wings out, and began to flap. Slowly, he rose off of the ground, and flew towards the east, where he would search for a large shark or sea monster, the only two things big enough for him to call a meal, but not so large that he would have a feast.

Twilight found a place beside Celestia, who had lain down beside a pillar and nuzzled down beside her. "Do you think it's safe here?"

"Trust me Twilight, Frost Wing's cave is the most secure location in the Everfree Forest, no pony or dragon would Dare trespass on the great Frost Wing's cave," Celestia said before laying her head down to sleep. Twilight laid down her head beside Celestia's and fell asleep for the night, dreaming of a time past and she didn't just have the Princess by her side, and friendship was truly magic.
