Scorpion's POV

If you're reading this, there are a few reasons why.

1: I helped these dragonets decide a Sandwing Queen and Sunny got her hands on this and is now sharing this to everyone she finds.

2: You robbed my place and took this.

3: We failed and probably died trying to achieve this goal and you are probably someone sent by some random Queen to loot my place and found this.

4: Or it can simply be me reading this or publishing this scroll of my life.

Honestly, sometimes I wish my life was a little more ordinary. I didn't need to be apart of this prophecy of dragonets, then again, I wasn't. Me myself said yes to these Dragonets. Me myself decided to go on this crazy journey.

Part of me regrets it, the other part doesn't. But you don't care about that. You read this because you are interested in the life of some random dragon that helped dragonets.

Let's just start with the basics, my name is Scorpion, I am a Sandwing, if you haven't guessed that already.

I am a little special, I have a black tail barb. Yes it's more than just that, I don't know the science behind it, but apparently some venom and scale cells in my tail mutated and I got a black tail barb, and Dragonbite Viper Venom.

It's cool and all, but I think it makes the dragons around me more on edge than usual. I don't blame them, but I hate it when I look next to me and that dragon that was sitting next to me scooted away to the other side of the room I'm in.

It does make me particularly deadly. I was an assassin for a good amount of my life.

But let's get to the beginning:

I never knew my parents, I hatched alone in a isolated part of the Rainforest. Some dragons would probably curl up in a tree and just die in that situation, I didn't.

I taught myself how to survive in the Rainforest. I found a small pond or oasis in the outskirts of the Desert. And I ate mostly small bug, some rodents and berries for food.

That basically continued for about 4 years or so, I lost count. Until a spy working for Blister found me.

That's when my life changed forever, the spy took me to Blister. Even though I didn't know it at the time, I'm glad it was Blister and not Blaze or Burn, here's why.

Blaze is obvious, she's an idiot, she would have no idea what she was doing if she became queen.

Burn.. she's kinda tough. See, she can be a good queen, but she likes odd things. She would probably want to cut off my barb and stuff it into her collection.

Blister, I like her, she's cunning, mysterious, smart, basically anything a good queen needs. Plus she really liked me. She hired me as an assassin, and that's how my life went for the next 10-15 years.

It was rough, but I turned out okay. I got targets every Month or so, and I would kill them quite easily. Unfortunately I can't use my barb. See, when you stab someone with this kind of venom, they would scream very loud, I learned that the first time the hard way. So I would either cover their mouth, kill them some other way, or muzzle them before I stab them. As messed up as it sounds with that last option, when your an assassin, you have to use everything you can to your advantage.

I was an assassin up until a few months ago I think, when I got a strange request to kill a few dragonets that apparently killed Queen Scarlet, but I'll get to that later.

First let's get to my first ever mission, It was from Blister herself, apparently a band of Dragons were threatening trade between Blister and her allies: The Seawings.

She wanted me to take down their boss.

At first I was skeptical about the mission, as it seemed insanely difficult as a first mission.

Blister encouraged me to do it, and I didn't want to disobey my Leader/Queen, so I did it.

Flashback

I looked back at where I came from, then I looked back to the building that held my Target.

I hesitated before giving myself a mental slap to the face as I continued going towards the building.

"I need to get past security at the entrance," I muttered, "But I need to get my bag in first." I said as I looked down towards my small bag of tools.

I opened it again to make sure they were all in there.

"Lockpick, Poison, Kunai, Sharp Discs, Fake ID, and some other random stuff Blister gave me." I listed.

I once again looked towards the building of Sandstone.

"Beautiful building." I commented.

The building was in the middle of a small valley, which was an hour or so away from the Seawing Kingdom. There were lights coming from the windows.

There was also a river coming from the left side of the building, maybe through it.

"That river looks like a way in," I said, mentally thinking up my plan.

"I just gotta find this guy."

After 10 minutes, I finally figured out what to do, I noticed an open window with no one in the room. I climbed into the room to find it a small bedroom I think. I went across to push my ear to the door.

I heard no movement whatsoever.

I slowly turned the knob while opening the door. I found myself into a hallway, with a balcony on the left, and some more rooms to the right.

I heard nothing to the left, so I crept my way to some rooms to the right, listening to any sounds that could possibly give any clues to where this boss is.

I then heard some noises downstairs. It was 2 voices, it sounded like some guards.

I went to the back of my head to remember this dragon's description.

"Mudwing," I muttered, "light brown underbelly, caramel brown armored scales, a few scars running down his wings."

The image of the Mudwing appeared in my head as I continued down this hallway.

That's when I ran into a door that said loud and clear, Boss's Office.

Must of thought Security just at the front entrance would be enough. I mused in my head.

I pushed my ear silently against the door.

Nothing.

I opened the door to find a desk in the middle of the room with some windows behind it, there was a small shaded corner.

I was a little bigger than most Sandwings my age, so I struggled to fit my entire body into the spot, it took a minute, but I got myself to fit in it.

After waiting for a moment, a Dragon came in that met the description completely.

Alone? I thought, This will be too easy

(Present Scorpion)

At the time, I was young, and I didn't really understand things… so what you think would happen.. it happened. Not my brightest moment.

(Back to Flashback)

From my shadow, I could see the back of the desk. I simply waited until he decided to get on this side.

He took what seemed like ages. He walked around the other side of the room, looked extremely bored.

A few moments went by. And he finally decided to come to the back of the desk.

My barb suddenly felt very heavy. I just realized I had to kill him. I shook the feeling off and got out of my corner.

I slowly walked towards my target, raising my barb in the process.

Now I was right behind this guy, I was practically breathing down his neck. I heard him breathing.

What happened next was pure instinct.

I shot my tail right into his underbelly. He first jumped, and looked very mad at me. He opened his mouth to yell at me, but then nothing came out.

He looked at where I stung him. A black mark was left there. Then it started spreading throughout his scales, he fell to the ground, and what followed was beyond what I could contain to this room.

A bloodcurdling scream filled the room.

My ears hurt a lot. I went to the door to block it until the guy died. It was sickening to watch.

The Mudwing was dying very slowly and very painfully. I felt bad for him, but killing him was for the best.

Soon his entire body was covered in black. His body soon stopped moving and before I knew it, he was dead.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. And got off the door. I grabbed the body and my bag and went out one of the windows.

Right as I exited the room, I heard dragons enter the room. Confused Voices filled the office as I ran towards the river.

I dumped the body into the river. And I left hastily towards the rising sun. Looking back at the building, wondering what was going on in there. I looked down to my now bloody tail barb.

"Not the last time you're going to have blood on ya." I said, tapping the side of it.

I opened my wings to fly back to Blister's hideout. Hoping to give her some proud news.

Well… I don't know what to think about this chapter. That's what you guys are there for. Again, I love reading reviews. Just tell me what you think about it.

Sorry for the short length. I hope it's better next time.

Review Responses

PyrrhianVoyager: At the Start you list off 2 Dragons and so on. I think you should've written it like "Two Dragons" Instead of the actual number 2. Maybe that's just I would prefer.

We all have our preferences, it just so happens I wrote 2 instead of Two, now that I think about it, it does sound weird.
