About Seven years ago, when the prophey was made

Starlight hated being the Queens seer.
A few years ago, the Nightwings got their own queen and went to their old home. A fellow animus fixed it up. But Starlight wished that they stayed in the rainforest, under the rule of Queen Peacock, eating fruit and laying in hammocks all day. But the Nightwings held a vote, and all moved away.
Starlight hated it in the Night Kingdom, away from the sunlight and the friendly Rainwings. And she hated being Queen Nyx's seer. It was the worst part.
Starlight dipped her claw in ink and started to draw a small Nightwing. Why did she have to be the only good seed in the tribe? Why did she have to be the only Nightwing born under two moons? Why couldn't it be someone who WANTED to be the Queens seer, like Starseer? He wanted to be the Queen Nyx's seer.
Starlight brought herself back to the real world and looked down at her scroll. A half finished Nightwing was on the page, but then some strange words were also scribbled across the page.
"If the world crumbles, it will fall
For one last try to save it all
For if it fails everything will be lost
Through the cracks of the mountains, the ice, and the seas range
Find the Silkwing egg in the silk nest
For the flame of the silk will be given upon you
The Nightwing egg on the Brightest Night
Will be given wings of light
Find the Sky twins of the sky
Before they kill the twins alive
And the Icewing egg of the deepest cold
Will be brought to save the world
The dragonets will come and save the day
The dragonets will come and stay
The dragonets will fight and clash
And if they fail, the world shall fall."
Starlight banged her head on the table. One of those prophecies that confused everyone. One of those prophecies that included stealing eggs. One of those prophecies that meant THAT DOOMSDAY IS COMING SOON.
"Starlight?" Her mother called. "What's going on up there?"
"Nothing mother." Starlight fumbled the scroll into her bag and ran out of her room. "Got to see the queen."
"What is it-" Starlight didn't hear the rest of her mother's question. She flew out of her house and towards the palace. The guards didn't hesitate to let her in; they knew she was the Queens seer and they knew not to interfere if she was in a rush.
"Your majesty!" Starlight breathed when she got to the throne room. Queen Nyx's gave her a surprised look.
"I don't remember calling you over today." Queen Nyx said in a disapproving voice.
"I had a prophecy." Starlight said. She tugged out her scroll and handed it to Queen Nyx. She read it quickly for a second.
"Well." The Nightwing Queen said after a while. "Good job. I'll notify the Talons of Peace immediately."
"Wait." Starlight said. "Shouldn't we put a bit more... research into this?"
"You don't research prophecies." Queen Nyx hissed.
"Huh. I research prophecies all the time before I give them to you." Starlight said.
"OUT." Queen Nyx bellowed. Starlight scrambled out of the room as she flew into the morning sun. Usually the Nightwings sleep at this time, but Starlight likes flying outside for a bit in the morning. It gave her time to think. And she ESPECIALLY NEEDED TO THINK NOW.
"I should just run away." She said to herself. Who could stop her? And she didn't like being the seer anyway.
A vision flashed quickly before her. A warning. If she ran away, there was a path where she could die.
I don't care. Starlight though. I'm fine if I die. It will be better than this place anyway. Starlight flew to the borders of the Night Kingdom. She would figure out something to do later.
I won't be trapped here anymore. I'm making my own choices now.
