SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK: DARKSTALKER

The story began with Arctic brainstorming ideas for his animus enchantment in his room. He was talking with a first-circle IceWing that he forgot the name and identity of. Near the end of their conversation, he realized it was Snowflake, the dragon his mother arranged for him to marry. They then went outside on the balcony and met an incredibly talkative NightWing who was watching the sunset while trying to keep herself warm. She continuously complained about the cold and talked about how pretty everything was until Snowflake got annoyed and left. Arctic was left alone with her, and she unintentionally introduced herself as Foeslayer. The two talked for a while, and after lots of complaining about the cold, Arctic enchanted one of his diamond earrings to keep her warm and gave it to her as a gift, breaking the IceWing animus rule of only being able to use his magic once for a glorious gift to the whole tribe. Arctic later escaped the Ice Kingdom with Foeslayer.
