Hey guys! Fanfictionconection here! I'll be writing the even chapters, and for those who missed out on math class, that means 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ect. Anyway, hope you all enjoy! :3
Peril tucked her wings in a tight as she could. The last thing she wanted was to burn down Thorn's palace. She looked up at the guard escorting her and Clay to Thorn's feasting hall. He was obviously a part of Burn's army, because he kept looking back at her with horrified eyes, and would flinch if her eyes met his. Most likely he saw her fight. But she changed! Can't everyone forget about her and the arena? She hadn't killed anyone since The SkyWing guard when she was freeing her mother MONTHS ago! And still, the other 'dragonets of destiny' still thought she was a killer psychopath!
Why, oh WHY did I have to be born like this?! She thought. She looked up again, and stopped. Two other guards opened a large door, with two huge scorpions on it. When they did, Sunny came bouncing out.
"Yay! You're both here!" She cried. At least another dragon like her/would actually come within five feet of her. She liked Sunny. At first she waaaas a bit jealous of her, considering how Peril's first (and only) crush talked about her. But, now that she knew her, she liked her. She was always so bright and happy. Peril, well. She always thought she was nervous and not as careful as she thought she should be. She stepped back. She didn't want to burn anything else... She looked away. She jumped and almost put her talons on a carpet, that would have had a black talon print on it, when she felt Clay nudged the side of her jaw with his snout. She still wasn't used to someone touching her.
"Are you ok Peril?" He asked. Peril realized that she must've looked upset.
"No, i'm fine." She told him.
"Are you sure?" Clay asked.
"Yeah." Peril said, pulling her tail around her talons as she sat down. She looked up at the table in front of her. It had everything from rousted camel and scorpions, to fish and even a few fruit from the rainforest, complete with nine chairs and a mini thrown. They were all padded, except Peril's.
"Are the others here?" Clay asked Sunny.
"Not yet. Tsunami and Riptide should be here in a little bit, and Glory, Deathbringer, Fatespeaker, and Starflight should be here any minute."
The cheeky dragon said. They talked for a bit, and then Glory, Deathbringer, Starflight, and Fatespeaker arrived. Tsunami and Riptide arrived earlier. Peril had to introduce herself to Fatespeaker, Deathbringer, and Riptide though. They didn't seem fazed by her, and it was probably because she didn't tell them she use to fight to the death quite a few times... They sat down and started eating. Peril didn't grab anything. She hadn't eaten half of the things in front of her. She decided to try a few scorpions, and a fish or two.
Hmmmm. Peril though. Weird. She ate black rocks for seven whole years, so now eating stuff that was once alive... It just tasted weird to her. After a while, Thorn struck up a conversation.
"So, how do you all think the school will be like?" She asked.
"Hopefully it will be amazing!" Sunny said.
"Have the other queens agreed to it?" Thorn asked.
"Yup." Tsunami said, the paused. "Wait. What about Ruby?"
Oooooooooooh. Peril though. Most likely they were going to ask her to ask Ruby, because only Sunny and Clay knew that Ruby swore to kill her if she ever went to the sky kingdom again.
"Um." Sunny said. "Do you know if you can send a messenger?" Thorn nodded. Suddenly a dragon burst threw the doors.
"Q-queen Thorn!" He cried as he bowed. "Queen Thorn! A patrol found a SkyWing and IceWing inside are territory!" Thorn looked surprised.
"A SkyWing?" She asked. "The different. Did you catch them?"
"Yes." The SandWing said.
"Bring them in." Thorn said.
This just got interesting... Peril though. She wondered if she would know the SkyWing, but the only dragons that would talk to her before Clay was Osprey and Scarlet. Even if Scarlet sucked, she was still like a mother... But she abandoned Peril during the night, just after she broke her out of the stronghold. She sighed and looked up when a few more guards drugged in a pale IceWing and a pale copper SkyWing, both had chains over their wings. The SkyWing had a long scar on his neck, and extremely pale blue eyes...
Oh three moons... Peril though. Does he have to much fire to? Ot would be nice to know there another dragon like her, and maybe she didn't know about him because Scarlet didn't want to tell her.
"Who are you?" Thorn asked.
"I'm Crimson, and this is Tundra. We were just passing threw." The SkyWing said.
"WHY were you passing threw?" Thorn asked. The SkyWing narrowed his eyes, and smoke curled out of his nose.
"Answer me SkyWing." Thorn said. "I still have place in my dungeon, or would you rather be killed instead?" The IceWing's eyes grew wide.
"ANSWER THE FREAKING QUESTIONS CRIMSON!" He hissed.
"I was trying to find my sister." The SkyWing said.
"Who is she?" Thorn asked.
"I don't know her name." The dragon named Crimson said. "We were separated when we were dragonets." Thorn glanced at Peril. Obviously the SkyWing hadn't seen her wide blue eyes.
"How did you plan on finding her?" Thorn asked the SkyWing.
"We were the only dragonets born with to much and to little fire with in seven years." The SkyWing said. Peril felt another tail twine around hers as Clay glanced at her.
Oh three moons... She thought. He couldn't be. She knew how to prove it.
"Why do you have that scar?" She asked him.
"Um." He started, looking over at the IceWing.
"How." Peril said.
"FINE." He said, turing his head, showing a long scar that ran from close to his wing, and ended around his neck, near his head. "My own MOTHER tried to kill me."
"Three moons..." Peril whispered. Then the SkyWing studied her scales. Then his eyes grew wide as she let off a bit more steam.
"Y-y-your-" he started. Memories flooded back into Peril's memory.
She was staring at her twin brother...
