Heroes Of The Kindling Flame

Summery

Stormflair didn't choose to be one of the dragonet's of Destiny. And she certainly didn't want to be born with NightWing powers or to be an Animus. Plus most of her hatch-mates are a pain and very unreasonable. But to fulfill the prophecy, she will have to learn to get along with them... or it will all be pointless.

Stoemflair and the others find themselves waking up in a weird... Circular prison. Their wings and talons are chained, so there's no way of escaping. So what will they do? Now, without further ado, let's take flight.

Meeting Queen Scarlet

I slowly awoke to the sounds of yelling dragons and the sun shinning into my eyes. I gave an anoyed hiss and opened my eyes... slowly and reluctantly.

"Who are you? Your new. Did Queen Scarlet just capture you?" I turned around sharply to see a older NightWing. I stared at her with suspicious emerald green eyes.

"Hmm... your quite the observant, shy, and cautious type, aren't you?" The mysterious NightWing quietly observe. I sighed and relaxed my stance.

"S-sorry... i-it's j-just that... it's just that m-me a-and m-my friends just escaped our underground cave... well, it was more like a prison. And as soon as we steped outside, we get captured again. Oh, and the name's Stormflair by the way." I replied, looking up at the older dragon with a kind smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Stormflair. My name's Dreamcatcher." I tilted my head at the interesting name.

"H-have y-you s-scene a-a SeaWing, SkyWing, RainWing, SandWing, MudWing, IceWing or NightWing anywhere?" I quietly asked and Dreamcatcher 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.

"Stormflair! 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.

"Oh my. That's a lot of dragonets. I think the for mentioned RainWing dragonet is over there." Dreamcatcher pointed a talon to a wall where a multi-colored dragonet was chained next to the Queen's thrown. I Gave an angry hiss. No one chains my friends and lives! I thought angrily, my tail lashing.

"H-how d-dare t-that so-called Q-Queen o-of t-the SkyWings u-use F-Firebird a-as a-a d-decoration!" I spat in anger. Dreamcatcher nodded in agreement.

"Dreamcatcher? What exacly does Queen Scarlet want with us?" I asked, looking up at the older NightWing. The IceWing gave a long, drawn-out sad sigh and replied.

"Well, apparently tomorrow is the SkyWing Queen's Hatching-Day." The older NightWing 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 our dear Queen Scarlet's Hatching-Day, we will begin the arena matches. The first match will be, Wolf of the IceWings versus Stormflair of the NightWings!" Inferno announced to the watching crowd of SkyWings. I lowered my head. Then, I felt some SkyWing guards grab me, as Tempest yelled my name.

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

"Now, be good little dragonets and fight. My hatching-day only comes once a year after all." Queen Scarlet said, smiling creepily at me and the IceWing dragonet.

I hissed up at the SkyWing queen and yelled in defiance. "No! I'm not going to fight. You can't make me!" I snarled, but even though I wasn't going to fight. The IceWing sure was ready to fight. She lunged at me, and the next thing I know, I'm being slammed up against the stone wall.
