"Kerderfur, why did you not bond Smaug?" Queen Thelisia questioned the teenage boy. His knuckles were white but hidden behind his back under black straight hair. He looked up at the redheaded queen, he looked nothing like his mother with tanned skin and dark features compared to her fire red hair and light skin. His eyes were silver while hers were a fire blue. She was petite and thin while he was tall and broad.
"I meant to My Queen, I found just this morn' that he had escaped." Kerderfur answered looking down again. "That is not even a good excuse nor will I accept an excuse! You know how dangerous a fully fledged dragon is to the world, to our people! Valinor must already know of this and it could mean the end if it attempts to kill any of their creations on Middle Earth." Thelisia said with barely controlled anger, smoke emanating from her nostrils, the dragon sleeping behind her throne stirred. She stood up to pace before her golden throne softened by a red cushion and a ruby in the very center of it.
"With your permission, mother queen, I will go and seek out Smaug immediately." He lowered his head so his mother didn't see his eyes slit like a snakes in annoyance. The Queen thought of this for a short while "You are to bring Carissi, your sire's daughter, and Dragoness Athelina with you. The Dragoness will work as the tamer in my stead." At this Kerderfur protested. "I have no need to take one other than myself. I would not seek to endanger a minor queen nor the dragoness."
"You will take them." Thelisia commanded spewing fire from her fingertips to hit around him. "Yes your grace." He seceded bowing and turning to leave. "I am not finished, you leave in a week's time, make sure you are prepared." Thelisia finished this and waved her hand at him in annoyance to leave.
Careful with the boy Thelisia, he is not like the other men who bow to the queendom. He may not be a true dragon elf, you know this. His Sire was not.
Thelisia heard from the black large dragon behind her. "I know Sondra but I cannot let Smaug go loose, you know this. His father may not have been a dragon elf but my blood is dominant. It was so in Athelina and my other daughters." She responded to her dragon.
My wisdom to give is to let him stay in Middle-Earth when the time comes that he wishes to. He is not of this land, you know that he must return.
"I understand Sondra." Thelisia said with respect. The only thing with more authority than the queen, was the Dragon Mother.
Kerderfur left without either girl, and at the command of the queen and her dragon, Athelina was sent to follow him, the second in line to the throne.
