Prologue – The Meeting
Ruby sat in her throne, waiting, watching. She hated meetings, it was just a bunch of dragons sitting around and talking. She was more interested in seeing dragons fight, however her duty as queen was to sit there, look impressive and make a decision. Ruby looked around the room, it had an open roof and gold intertwined through the walls making curious patterns. Multiple dragons were sitting down on bronze seats, these were her council. She looked at the dragon below her; he was crimson with splatters of orange, and had an extremely anxious look on his snout.
"How are the..." Ruby paused in the middle of her sentence, she hadn't been listening, she look desperately from one anxious face to the next, and then she had an idea "Eggs faring?" She finished her sentence with lackluster confidence, almost as if she wasn't sure if she should ask that. The dragon below her, Stoke, answered her question hastily "Oh, wonderful, simply wonderful" he groveled with an anxious almost squeaky voice. To tell the truth Ruby didn't care much for eggs, she cared more about dragons who could actually function. "Great," she responded, pretending to be happy.
What about plan 'Alpha'" she asked with a casual tone, despite the fact that all of her attention was on this plan. "It's going well your highness," Stoke continued to speak frantically. "We have almost sixty dragons in our sky dungeon." Ruby's face lit up "Good, good" she mumbled, a cunning look spread across her snout. She looked around the room at all of her 'important' subjects, pleased. "Alright continue our plan." she said to Stoke confidently, "Any dragon that has: Skill, Magic, Initiative, Strength, Intelligence or any valuable skill. Take them. For we will be the most powerful tribe, of the all!"
