9. Chapter 9: Practice and scheming

A few weeks after the arena had been built, the fourteen dragon riders were broken up into two groups of seven.

"Wow, Apple, you're good at this," said Briar as she flew on her dragon, Flutterfly.

"I've gone on flights with Raven and Nevermore before, she's even trained me on how to fly dragons," said Apple.

"Really?" asked Cerise as she looked at Raven who was blushing. Her dragon was Everfree.

"I'm kind of surprised Sleeper's still awake, most usually she falls asleep after five minutes," said Faybelle as she talked about her dragon.

"Maybe she likes flying with the others, it would be boring to fly alone," said Ashlynn, her dragon was named Glass Heart.

"Whoa, easy there, Bunny," said Cedar as Bunny's dragon, Cottontail, nearly hit her dragon, Red Maple.

"Sorry about that, I need to trim the fur from around her eyes, it grows so fast," said Bunny.

"We should probably land soon," said Romona. Her dragon was named Wolf's-bane. Meanwhile, at a secluded area in the Enchanted Forest.

"Are you here?" asked Duchess as she stood by a tree.

"Right here, Duchess," said Queen Snow White as she came out from behind another tree.

"I was surprised when I got that call from you, but I couldn't help but wonder why you of all people call me out here to talk," said Duchess.

"I need your help to break that disgusting witch and my daughter up," said Queen Snow White.

"You want me to break Raven and Apple up, but even I have to admit that they're a good couple," said Duchess.

"No, they're an abomination of a couple, and Raven has corrupted my Apple's mind with that Rebel garbage!" said Queen Snow White with so much hatred that it stunned Duchess.

"So… what exactly do you want me to do?" asked Duchess.

"Whatever it takes, make up rumors about Raven, hex, poison Apple and frame Raven for it, and just be warned that I will destroy your life if you don't do as I say," said Queen Snow White in a way that scared Duchess even more.

"I'll get right on that," said Duchess as she walked away. Once she was out of Queen Snow White's sight, she pulled her mirrorphone out of her pocket, turning it off.

"This is not going to go well," thought a worried Duchess.
