Dragons of Chivalry 2

Prologue: All Is Not Well

Inside a dark, fiery hot volcano, standing on a platform right above a river of boiling lava, a large figure stood, wrapped in a cloak, waiting patiently. Seconds later, footsteps could be heard; the large, cloaked figure looked up at a passageway, just as another cloaked figure entered the volcano.

As the second, much smaller, cloaked figure approached the much larger one, it spoke: "My loyal servant..." It had a male voice that was deep. "...What news have you brought me?"

"Squire Long has completed his assignment..." the smaller figure said, this one in a female voice. "...He captured the slayer known as Thorn. Very soon, he will be knighted..."

"Very good..." the first figure told her. "...He shows much potential. He could be a valuable asset to our goal. From your reports, he has been growing more and more powerful by the day. Now all he needs is the proper master that will send him to greatness..."

"But Master..." the second figure started.

"Something wrong, servant?!" The first figure barked, his booming voice making the interior of the volcano shake. While any other being, magical or otherwise, would be completely terrified, the second cloaked figure did not even flinch.

"...I was just going to say, Master..." She replied. "...That you becoming his Master will not be easy. Squire Long already has a master. His grandfather..."

There was a short pause before the first cloaked figure spoke again. "Well then..." He said. "...Then I suppose there is only thing to do. You need to...remove...his grandfather..."

From under the second figure's hood, a cruel smile started to form on her face, even before the first figure declared: "...That is to be your latest assignment..."

A/N: Yeah, I know it's short, but it's just a prologue. The chapters will get longer. Please tell me what you think so far...with a review!
