"Prologue" (Two months before the war has ended)
"Your Majesty," two large Lightwings came bursting in the Royal room, startling the Queen. Queen Borealis waved the others to leave, because she was waiting for this moment. She folded in her first pair of wings and used the others to help her glide off her crystal throne. Her ruby eyes watched cautiously as the two soldiers threw out two dragonets from under their wings. "We brought them just like you asked."
The boy and girl glared up at their, as her white scales flashed in front of their eyes. The female Lightwing covered her violet eyes with her talons. She then turned her attention to the boy, and hissed loudly.
"You again?! Will you ever learn, Luminous?"(That would be me) Borealis drew a talon across his right eye, he roared in pain, then she smack him in the ribs with her bludgeon tail. Sunset jumped up and rushed to his side.
The Queen continued. "Do you really want to suffer the same fate as your parents? To be exiled into the abyss under the Aurora Region, for choosing the wrong side?"
Luminous stood up with his feet staggering. "No, no...they choose the right side. You are the wrong side!"
"Luminous don't she'll hit you again." Sunset begged.
"WHAT did you say?" Borealis hissed.
She ran over and grabbed him by his throat, picked him up and slammed him into the ground. The two Lightwing soldiers held Sunset back as she ran forward. Queen Borealis clawed her across the snout.
Luminous continued. "My parents were the right side, because you are allied with the Nightwings and you wanted to wipe out every other tribe in Pyrrhia and turn it a island of darkness. They told me to stay, because I was too young, and I need to watch over Sunset."
They weren't brother and sister just very close friends since they were hatchlings. What happened to Sunset's parents is something no dragon should ever go through. Her parents had their scales burned off by acid as they still were alive. Luminous was afraid that she wouldn't make it on her own, but she's tougher than she looks.
"You want to watch over her, do you?" she snapper her claws together and the Lightwing soldiers snatched them up. "Ehecatl, Syrter, take these two lovebirds to the oubliette, I'll deal with them later. Right now I have a visitor."
The two dragonets were being dragged out of the Royal room, thrashing around.
"This isn't over, Borealis!"
...moments later...
Queen Borealis sat impatiently as her visitor was over an hour late.
"Queen Borealis, Morrowseer has just arrived."
Borealis sighed in relief. "Finally, send him Cloudless!"
Morrowseer was brought in, the Queen looked pissed because of his absence. He kindly bowed to her in respect, but she for it was more time of hers being wasted. She leaped off her throne and approached him with a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Apologies. The Talons of Peace needed me to check on the Dragonets of Destiny. Those little s**** aren't worthy to save anyone!"
She laughed sardonically. "I can assure you, once they fulfill your false prophecy, we'll kill them. Besides, they don't have the Skywing, so don't expect it to be over in just two weeks. But once the war is over...that is our moment to lay waste to Pyrrhia."
Morrowseer cried. "What about the Sandwings? I still have an alliance with Blister.
"There's only room for one Queen!" Borealis shouted. "That worthless Queen knows this day will be upon them shortly, fighting over a throne is completely stupid. Does Queen Battlewinner suspect you conspiring with us?"
"No."
She sat back down on her throne looking less resentful.
"I hear you have Lightwings who are starting to go against your plans. Rumors say your army is beginning to reconsider. How do you plan on handling that?"
Queen Borealis threw her head back in laughter. "This isn't the first I heard about it." As a matter of fact she's heard about it too much it's becoming less annoying, and more of a joke, if only she could see the real point, or reason of her plot, then she could see the real disappointment in herself and not her people. But sadly, like all other Queen s they only want power over those lower than themselves. "Before you arrived i had two others beginning to overthrow my judgement. But it matters not to you, they are my dragons and I will handle them personally. Now, tell me, Morrowseer, what was your purpose for coming here?"
He sighed as she finally calmed down. "For my first matter of business; our best and 'brightest' scientists have came to the conclusion that Nightwing Island's volcano will be close to eruption. What we need of you is a suggestion of, after this is over, of a new home."
"Well," she started tapping her talons on the ground. "I suppose the Rainwing Kingdom, they have no need in this world. But the rest is on your own."
...Oubliette room...
This type of dungeon is similar to the pavilions of the Skywing Kingdom, with the wires binding the wings and tail, but with a little cynical twist. The prisoners rested on a thick plate with a chain holding it up. If you try to escape you will plummet down to the ocean. How is that? Because the home of the Lightwings rests in the sky. Before the plan to wipe out Pyrrhia the oubliette was empty, but now with oppressors it is halfway full. They obviously don't stay there forever, the prisoners are given jobs like: cleaning, cooking for the soldiers, and other odd jobs. Sunset and Luminous shared one in the center of the room. Luminous kept clawing at the plate, because it was his fault that Sunset is in the oubliette.
"Don't stress yourself. It was my fault because I encouraged you to do this." Sunset said holding his talons.
"NO! It's my fault for bringing you into this. Sunset if there is something I can do to get you out of this trust me I will not stop till I do."
They sat there thinking of how they were going to get out of this situation. Other prisoners were asleep, because there was no point in struggling. The door in the top of the room opened, and Queen Borealis swooped down.
"I said I would see you soon. Now," the Queen landed on an empty plate. "I have my chance to see you. Why can't you just be a good little Lightwing and follow your Queen."
Luminous laughed. "Follow you or follow me."
Borealis sighed and began to leave. "Well I tried to help you, but you leave me no choice. Stay and rot and think about my offer. I. Can. Wait! Don't look so sad, you'll have company soon. Some Royal company."
So how was the Prologue? Did it peak your interest? Please review!
Chapter 1 will begin where we left off last in part one of Dragons after Dark, but two days later.
Thank You. The dragons also thank you for reading.
