Chapter 1: Prologue
Prologue
I've never before seen a real human. I thought that they were just a tall tale that parents told their hatchlings when it was time to go to bed. I was so naïve. I thought that the only things that would ever be able to control the world were the dragons.
But that was until they came. Humans using dragon slaying magic came to kill us. We managed to run most of them away but we had to pay a cost. My mother had been taken away from me and there was nothing I could've done.
After that it was just Father and I. He grew angrier by the day. It started about the time the Almighty Dragon's Council said that it was time that I took the crown and that he would have to step down. He didn't like this very much and he ended up taking all of his anger out on the villagers. He destroyed their homes killed their livestock and locked them all away. He locked me away.
He just sat in his throne all day. Waiting for others to come so he could throw them away with the rest of us.
I sat back and I watched him terrorize my friends for 100 years. Some queen I would've been, right? I couldn't protect one single person. Their screams of anguish and despair were all I could ever hear.
Maybe I'm just going crazy. It has been a while since I had spoken to anyone. Father insisted I be locked in a cell far away from the all the others. Boarded up. No windows. Straightjacket. Energy absorbing lacrima. Check, check, check.
With all that has happened, I'm wasn't sure if I'd ever find a reason to smile. That is until that day...
