Snakes and Dragons(chapter 12)

Ninathala POV

I watched Amber fly out the caves entrance. I understood what it was like to be locked up. When I was a wyrmling,dragon hatchling, dragon egg sellers came into the nest and tried to steal Joy as she was an egg at the time. I was able to make a deal with the raiders and allowed them to take me instead of Joy. They bound my wings tightly to my back,put a sack over my head,and clipped my claws all the way down. They then went to the human king in hopes of selling me like a pet. I learned patience and understanding during that time,for one of them was just a farm boy trying to survive,and the other a kingdom class thief. It burned me inside to see a thief teaching such a young boy these horrible ways of life. Ten nights after being taken from the nest,I convinced the boy to leave and he set me free. Soon I heard news that the thief was caught after someone told the nearest towns guards. Joy knows the story well,she hasn't left my side after that. Only when we had to,or her explorer blood showed her something interesting. I laughed thinking about her "explorer" blood. She always got into trouble that way. I checked on the others to see Joy,Astra,Mara and Patricia all curled up together in one big dragon pile. Why DO people fear dragons? We have done nothing to them,so why? "Fearing us is natural,same with my own kind." I hear a voice come from behind me as I spin around. There,right in the smack dab middle of the cave was my missing father,yet he wasn't. His body was misty,like I was in a dream. Had I fallen asleep? Was this all a dream? "I am afraid so,my sweet Nini." Father told me. He slithered over to me and looked at my wings. "Those binds could never hold you,so they will never hold him." Father said in a hushed voice. Wait,who? Who's he? "He? Oh,my beloved daughter. He is the one who tries to release me from the horrid underground prison. He,is one I see with you,Nini." I hear father say before everything gos dark. So,whoever he is...is my one true love?

Pythor POV

Cold,that's it. All I was was cold. And alone,and scared. Garmadon could come down any moment,ready to...ready to...I gagged at the thought,it made me sick inside to think of someone doing what he planned in cold blood. What was he planning anyway? Did...did these dragons play a part? That idea shook me to the core. If the dragons play a part in Garmadons plan...wait! What if the dragons WERE the plan?! Did he plan to just hand me over to them or to leave me in there lair at their mercy?! Surely they would show me no mercy if that was the case. Now I'm really afraid. I lie down,hoping to wake up from this nightmare, when I felt some warmth from behind me,and I could hear something purring. Whatever it was,all I heard before I closed my eyes was "hurr~".
