Description
Rolling across the floor, Moon barely had the sense to get her feet under her so that she could stand - Icicle would not hesitate to rip out her throat if she caught her again. She turned and blew a jet of fire. Icicle ducked underneath it and went to bite Moon’s arm. But she kicked her back, further aggravating the wound on her snout that Winter had inflicted upon her. Something seemed to catch Icicle’s eye and she leapt aside a split second before Qibli’s tail thrust into the spot where she had been. He was up! Even if bleeding from a cut on one brow. Winter was also getting to his feet, and leaping for them.
Icicle thrust her talons into Qibli’s shoulder and threw him into Winter’s path. The two collided and tangled. With the pair of them struggling, Icicle took her opportunity and opened her mouth for her frost breath. Moon refused to let her. She leapt in the air enough to beat her wings around Icicle’s head, kicking and scratching at her face as she did so. The princess tried to back up, and when Moon would not relent, she thrust her head forward, ramming her stone-cold brow and horns into Moon’s sternum.
Air burst from Moon’s lungs and she fell, winded. Two sets of talons caught her, steadied her. It took a panic-inducing moment to remember how to breathe. When she came to her senses, Icicle stood several feet away, panting, and Moon read in her mind the fatal mistake all three of them had made. She was between them and Starflight.
“I won’t be stopped now!” she cried raggedly. “I refuse!”

I thought I'd try a more simplistic, monochromatic style for this one and I'm actually loving the way it turned out
