Meeting Queen Scarlet

I was awoken that morning by the sounds of fighting dragons. I quickly scrambled to my talons and rushed out of the Sleeping Cave that I shared with Tempest. Windracer, Cleverclaws and Lemur all share a sleeping cave, actually... Lemur wanted his own sleep cave.

"Let me go!" I stopped in my tracks at what I saw. It was Tempest who had yelled. Cinderheart was trying to use fire on her attacker but a muzzle was put around her mouth. I squeaked in fright when I, to was grabbed. I was chained and muzzled just like the rest of my friends.

"Now, be good little dragonets and we won't have any trouble." Queen Scarlet said, smiling in a way that made my IceWing spikes rattle.

I was awoken a few hours later by the sounds of cheering dragons. I slowly sat up and tried to stretch my wings, but they were chained to the ground.

"Hay, I've never seen you before. You and your friends must be more of the Queen's prisoners?" I turned to see a older IceWing. I looked down at my talons in response.

"My name's Frostbite. What's yours?" The older IceWing said, I looked up and replied nervously.

"M-my n-name's E-Ermine. I-It's n-nice to meet y-you F-Frostbite." I said, looking up at Frostbite with a shy smile.

"Have you s-scene a SeaWing, SkyWing/NightWing hybrid, a RainWing, or NightWing anywhere?" I quietly asked and Frostbite pointed to another row of dragons. They were SeaWings.

"T-Tempest? W-where are y-you?" I called out in a quiet voice. I then saw sky blue scales, and the dragonet's face lit up.

"Ermine! There you are! I was so worried when I couldn't find you." The SeaWing said, a relieved smile on her face. I gave a shy smile in response.

"H-hay, F-Frostbite? W-what's Q-Queen S-Scarlet g-going to do w-with u-us?" I asked, looking up at Frostbite with fearful pale blue eyes. The IceWing gave a long, drawn-out sad sigh and replied.

"Well, apparently tomorrow is the SkyWing Queen's Hatching-Day." The older IceWing said, rolling her eyes. After a few moments of silance, she continued speaking.

"Queen Scarlet has a huge battle Arena, and dragons are forced to fight each other, friends, family, parents. It doesn't matter to the SkyWing Queen. Look, down there. See that huge circle of sand and the rock wall around the outside? That's the battle arena." I shuddered at the thought of fighting random dragons... or any dragons for that matter.

"Three Moons. This Queen Scarlet is insane, and very, very, very blood-thirsty!" Tempest remarked, scowling and frowning at the same time. I nodded in agreement.

"Attention everyone. In honor of or dear Queen Scarlet's Hatching-day, we will begin the arena matches. The first match will be, Copper of the MudWings, versus, Ermine of the IceWings!" I lowered my head. Then, I felt some SkyWing guards grab me, as Tempest yelled my name.

"Three Moons! I'm so dead! I'm going to die before I even turn seven." I thought as I was brought out to the sandy beach of the arena.
