The cold afternoon wind whipped over Sparta's cave, who was sleeping away without a care. Sparta was a Secret Fire dragon, and slowly, she sleepily rose from her deep slumber, only to see Icegust blow an exceptionally icy wind into her face. The mischevious Nightwind loved pulling off pranks (usually involving his ability to create cold air breezes) on his friends, and sometimes those pranks ended up with unexpected results. Sparta roared with anger, breathing fire onto Icegust, who was scrambling to get away from her furious flames. "By the staff of Deus, I swear I'll stop, Sparta!" he shouted. She calmed down immediately, her magma-like feathered wings closing, but then Sparta found the time to ask the question, "Then why did you wake me up in the middle of my winter slumber?" "Because," Icegust gasped, "I've heard that the Kingdom of Pure Ice isn't stopping winter this year. I don't know exactly why, but if we don't hurry, winter will go on forever! We don't want that, do we?" She was surprised by this; every year in the realm of Dragon City, the seasons were controlled by various Pure Dragon Kingdoms - for example, Pure Fire for summer, Pure Water and Nature for spring, and Pure Terra for the crisp colors of autumn. Dragons of Sparta's kind would usually sleep during the winter, so eternal winter would be a huge problem! Sparta flew out the cave entrance/exit hurriedly, Icegust trailing not far behind her.

Sometime later, Sparta cooled herself down to prevent melting any ice, landing in the beautiful Kindom of Pure Ice itself, Icegust landing further in front of the powerful chaos-causing dragon. Walking slowly, she took time to take in the icy crystal beauty surrounding her, the masculine friend of hers sliding right down the cold pathway. Sparta noticed the kingdom grounds were way less busier than she would imagine; she thought that Pure Ice dragons would be rushing all over the place like a big metropolis, the chit-chat loud in sound. Instead, a few lone shop signs creaked eerily in the near impossible cold atmosphere, making it hard for her to stay calm and prevent the whole kingdom from melting. If that wasn't bad enough, she already had lost Icegust in the blizzard happening in the grounds, so Sparta forced herself to be ready for any dragons in her face. After what seemed like an eternity, a portal as colorful as the Prisma Dragon and the Rainbow Dragon combined opened up, and Sparta found Icegust at her side once more. Cocking her head, Sparta curiously stepped closer to the portal, which promptly sucked her in. Icegust chased after her, being sucked into the same portal in the process.
