The current ice queen, Queen Sleet meets up with a platinum ranking electric dragon noble during a diplomatic meeting to discuss borders. They meet up later several times and then fall in love and mate. Sleet lays 2 eggs secretly in a crevice outside the palace grounds. Hybrids, especially from royals are forbidden and punishable by death. Sleet wants to keep the kids though. They hatch one night and Sleet notices, horrified, that one of them killed and ate the other. She thinks it’s an accident and takes the other one (Scorchie) to the palace.
