When dust woke he was told it had been 2 days since he went to sleep.
"Bloody hell, any clear reason why?" Dust asked.
"No but you kept muttering about 'Frostburn and Dawnstar' what are they?" Clay inquired.
"I will explain later, maybe never, if we don't get out of here."
Suddenly there was sounds of marching coming down the hallway, before the Dragonets could react, a group of Skywing soldiers stepped into the cave. There were 12 in total, 3 grabbed Dust, 3 grabbed and 6 of them grabbed Tsunami. They forced clay and Dust down a long corridor, and Tsunami was pushed towards the arena.
"Where are you taking us." Dust demanded.
"To the best seat in the house." Replied one of the soldiers
"Where." Dust curled his tail Menacingly.
"The queens balcony." The soldier stammered.
After about a minute of walking they came to a large balcony, with heavy chains attached to the floor. Naturally, Clay and Dust had these put on them.
Before Dust could say anything, Scarlet started addressing the gathered dragons, saying it was her 'hatching day's and there would be lots of gory fights to celebrate, lovely.
Just then Tsunami was pushed into the arena, her name was called and then they dropped 'gill'. He was a normal looking dragon, from a distance. He looked rabid.
The second Gill got his Balance he charged Tsunami, but she dodged him and came up behind him, this continued for a few minutes until Tsunami pinned him on the floor, holding his horns, after a small conversation with Scarlet, she snapped his neck, dust didn't see what happened next, as he was dragged back down the hallway, into the arena, they expected Dust to fight her? Hah.
"And what weird dragon do we have to fight now?" Dust shouted at Scarlet
"each other."
After thinking for a second, Dust shouted back "nah don't feel like it today."
"aggghh, fine bring down Angler."
"Angler? Why her."
"Because, I have seen you talking to her, time to
learn a secret, she is a traitor who killed an entire wing of her own troops, and then came and attacked the sky kingdom."
"So, she killed a whole wing of dragons and you expect me and Tsunami to be able to take her on?"
"Have fun."
"Well," said dust to Tsunami "fairly sure we are about to be killed."
"You." Said a voice from behind them.
"Ah crap." Said Dust.
"I didn't think I would have to fight you, I though you were going as a gift to Burn." She declared
"Umm, who or what is burn?" asked Dust.
"Burn is one of the three Sandwing princesses, the strongest of the three." Lectured Tsunami.
"Well, I guess your not going to Burn... Wait, you Seawing, lift your wings."
"Why?" Tsunami asked suspiciously.
"Just do it."
Tsunami lifted her wings.
"Why do I have to-" Tsunami was cut off as angler suddenly knelt In front of her.
"Hail heir" Angler started chanting, before looking up at Scarlet and shooting... Water out of her mouth at her?
Dust looked on, confused as Scarlet was drenched, after a few seconds Angler stopped and Dust could see what had happened.
The water must have been boiling, as Scarlets face was burned quite severely, at a few points bone was showing.
Then the screaming started.
It was the loudest noise Dust had ever heard, and the most horrible.
The next few minutes were just a rush to him, as he had his wings freed by peril, and ran like hell.
By the time the adrenaline had ran off he was in a cave hidden behind a waterfall as the Dragonets were talking about escape plans.
"Dust, you got and ideas?" asked sunny, hopefully.
"Nae. I've never been in this kind of situation before."
Dust now noticed Angler still hanging around Tsunami. And who was the other Skywing that had appeared?
"Run?" suggested Clay
"No we would be seen easily." Tsunami said.
"Perhaps..." Dust muttered, looking at the river. He didn't expect anyone that hear him but suddenly all the Dragonets were looking at him.
"If we swim with Tsunami and Sunny hidden, we might be able to escape incognito." Suggested Dust
"How would we hide Sunny? Her scales are so bright." Asked Glory.
"If we cover sunny in mud, she can ride on Clay on the river bank and if glory rides Tsunami, she can hide her too." Dust answered.
"But how will you hide?" asked Sunny.
Dust put on a grin. "I won't. I'll fly like hell."
"that won't work and you know it." Exclaimed Glory
"Well do you have a better idea?"
"Well..."
"I didn't think so, I'll draw them away, wait a few minutes and then go. Where do we meet?"
"Mudwing kingdom?" suggested Tsunami.
"Ok, see you there."
And dust took off, with multiple Skywing guards following him, thankfully he could barely out fly them, but he could, and he flew for hours before the guards gave up interest and returned to there kingdom. With aching wings he glided to the ground to find shelter. After finding a well concealed cave, he collapsed, and slept, again, for once not wanting a message from Frostburn or Dawnstar.
AN:
Sorry for the longish break between this chapter and the last, but I couldn't decide how I wanted them to escape, so I waited until an idea came to my head and here it is.
I have nothing else to say.
