THE FORGOTTEN LEGEND
Kitten slumped against the cold cell wall. Jewelclaw's daughter? She shook her head. It was impossible.
Goldstreak sat behind her, tending to one of his withered wings. Most of the dragons were sleeping by now. Kitten thought hard. She HAD to find a way out. Remembering when she used to open locks for Daine (that was so long ago…) she uttered a series of whistles and clicks. Nothing happened.
-It's no use. These doors are magic proof.- Goldstreak's scratchy voice said. Kitten sighed.
-I need to get out- she whined.
-Face it. You can't.- Kitten growled. She was bored in the cell. She stretched her wings. –Hey! Watch it! This cell isn't THAT big.- Kitten ignored it. She flapped up and down.
-There's got to be another way-
-Whadda ya mean "another way"- asked Grettle from her cell.
-To escape- Kitten sighed and shook her head. What could she do? If only she could contact Daine. Maybe…
-Stop moping. It isn't worth it.- Silverclaw told Kitten.
-Hey! What did you say about that…stone- Kitten looked at Goldstreak and saw a gleam in his eyes.
-Legend has it, that the four founding dragons created a magical stone to aid the first ruler of Dragonlands. That ruler misused it, so they put a special spell on it: no dragon could use it unless he, or she, has the right intentions. There was one flaw in their plan. When they died, the kings began to get others to work the stone for them. This plan succeeded. The evil ruler Steelfang…-
-So, you're trying to tell me Jewelclaw has the stone- Interrupted Kitten.
-Yes.- Now what? Kitten sat down and thought for a long time.
-Is it working- Asked Kitten.
-What- inquired Firesnout.
-The stone. Who's making it work-
-No one knows.-
-Last I heard it wasn't working at all- Strongtail said matter-of-factly.
-Then why…-
-SKYSONG- bellowed a voice. Kitten crouched low. Goldstreak turned invisible. A big orange dragon with gleaming scales approached her.
-Come with me. His highness wants you.- Kitten rolled her eyes. Probably to execute me, she thought. The cell door opened and Kitten was led out. The dragon, who said he was Crimsonwing, put a leash and and collar of sorts around her neck. She squeaked when it pinched her. –C'mon, we don't have all day-
Kitten was led to Jewelclaw. The palace, she had to admit, was amazing. She was busy admiring the intricate design on the ceiling, when Jewelclaw arrived. Crimsonwing chained her to a pillar, and left.
-I KNOW WHY YOU WANT ME HERE- Kitten blurted. Jewelclaw raised his eyebrows.
-Oh, really-
-Yes! I'm your daughter, and you want me dead- Jewelclaw laughed.
-You believed THAT silly rumor? Well, you're not my daughter(nothing else worked: see?)I want you to work the stone for me.- Kitten's jaw dropped. This wasn't good. Not at all.
SRRY THIS WAS SOOOO SHORT. PLEASE REVIEW, PLEASE!
