Queen Blizzard stomped through the ancient cave, creating echos throughout the hidden home of the were hybrids of all types. She, herself was a skywing/icewing hybrid. She lifted her elegant and long neck to peer at the wide and gaping mouth of her cave as she rapidly approached it. She heard a dragon call her name as she plopped down on the floor of her den. The call got louder and louder as the dragon approached. Her adopted daughter, Nightlock, peeped her head through the entrance.
"Mother are you okay?" She asked in an interested tone, her burning green eyes glinting with wonder.
"How could I be? My daughter just challenged me for the throne!" Queen Blizzard screeched in Nightlock's face.
"Which one?" Nightlock asked, now with a slightly angered voice.
"Emerald." Blizzard replied, now calming down. She pondered how the battle would go, could she possibly beat the large seawing/sandwing hybrid? Many other dragons feared the massive hybrid, but would a quick, lean dragon like Blizzard stand a chance?
Blizzard marched towards the arena cavern, a naturally created cave. It was huge enough to hold all of the tribes at once and still have room for some extras. The hybrids sat in the stands, watching closely as the two rivals approached the arena. The huge and vibrant green sandwing with amber eyes slowly paced back and forth in the arena, waiting for her foster mother to come. Blizzard was in no rush to get to the fight, one, to look more queenly and patient and two, to avoid Emerald as long as possible. The loud echo of cheering and voices became clearer as Queen Blizzard stepped into the cavern. A dragon saw her and nudged the nearby dragons, leading to a chain of awkward silence as she stepped through the fighting pit's entrance archway. Emerald noticed this sudden change and immediately saw her mother. The two dragons shifted into fighting position, Blizzard slowly and awkwardly, and Emerald quickly and cleanly. Blizzard looked into the stands to see Nightlock, sitting there while glaring at the two of them. Almost as if she was about to calculate their fighting styles to get a plan of how to beat the winner. She heard a loud growl and snapped her head back to Emerald to see her charging. Blizzard flared her white skywing wings up and ,half jumped, half flew, over Emerald, who snapped around and started to charge again. Blizzard decided to rear up her skywing shaped body and prepare to blow frostbreath on her opponent. She could use firebreath but using it on a sandwing hybrid would be less effective than normal. Emerald saw this move coming though and slid under Blizzard. She felt claw slash at her stomach and she leaped up to try to breathe frostbreath on her challenger. But before she could do that though, she felt a sharp jab in her stomach and looked down to see a tail barb stuck in her underside. As her vision started to fade she saw Nightlock land next to her.
Avenge meeeee…." Blizzard said as she went unconscious for the final time.
"Anything for you mother." Nightlock replied as a whisper. Emerald was already off celebrating. She will pay for this! Nightlock thought as she clutched her dead mother's body. She will pay!
