From the ground, it looked like a swarm of large birds were flying to the mountain that shall not be named; however, the mass was a herd of dragons, being swallowed by the jagged, mouth-like side of the mountain. The dragons flew through the mountain's side, its tunnel becoming narrower and pitch black. All that could be seen to recognize the dragons through the darkness was the faint glow from their glazed eyes, nostrils and panting mouths. After navigating past the many twists, turns and loops, the last passage metamorphosed into a vast open room, miles wide, to allow a smooth glide to the island.
The dragons landed on a large island that looked like water shot from the ground and frozen into stone. Some looked down seeing there was land far below, about a two hundred foot drop. Looking around, they snapped out of their trance. They noticed each other and started to nip, then bite. Busy biting each other they didn't see the large, midnight-black dragon with golden-red eyes, walk to the edge of the lip of the opening, hidden by a shadow. Hearing a booming snarl that tore at their ears, they whimpered, crouching closer to the cold smooth stone.
They saw the black dragon glaring at them from above. Bowing their heads, they knew her as the queen dragon. Snorting in satisfaction, she gazed over them with a critical eye. Shivering, her cold gaze swept over them. She let out an ear-piercing roar that made the dragons on the island to cover their ears. Nodding, a large blood-red male dragon, standing a head taller than the female dragon, looked down at the dragons below. He was the king dragon.
Both royals looked behind them, making soft chirping noises. The dragons below strained their ears forward, hearing the soft click of claws on the stone floor. Emerging from the shadows was a rainbow dragon egg, pushed carefully, as if their life depended on it, (it did), to the feet of the royal pair. Frowning, the dragons chirped to themselves that the dragon embryo would not survive in the world of dragons, if humans continued hunting them.
The Queen glared at them, wondering if they were questioning her power. Shaking their heads, they pressed their soft bellies to the cold, hard floor. They shook when a burst of smoke, like the night sky, erupted from her nose. Snorting the smoke away, she looked down at the egg and swelled her chest with pride. Speaking for the first time here, the Queen said in a hoarse voice, "You will protect the egg with your life. You will guard this mountain from any dangers."
Nodding, the dragons took their cue to fly out of the mountain's mouth, starting new homes on the outside of mountain.
