" Night Fury!" Her wrathful roar rings out.
I cringe as I duck down onto the ledge. I take my normal dominant stance in front of the queen.
" Why did you leave the territory?" She hisses coming close.
What do I do? My thoughts panic
But the demon saves me. It's hard, icy voice whispering in my ear. You killed a dragon. They weren't capable of brining the queen offerings. You sought them out as worthless so you killed them and fling them from the queen's territory.
" I've been watching the work of your dragons. I noticed one, a Zipple Back that wasn't brining you offerings. So I got rid of him. Flung him into the ocean to rot. I just accidentally passed over the border while perusing him."
The queen's eyes narrow as she moves back. " Very well." She says before her voice turns harder again. " But next time bring the traitor to me. They will make a nice meal."
I nod my head once in agreement before the queen lowers back into her hole. I growl in disgust before flying up into the air.
Eating other dragons. That's disgusting. That would be like a human heating it's offspring.
I flew strait out of the nest. I don't feel like being caged in the crowded hot mountain. I want to be free.
Only if I could be free... I want to be a Night Fury. Live up to my parents image and complete what they where trying to accomplish.
Someday you will, the voice reassures. You will posses great power. None like you have ever experienced.
I fly into the night. Blending into the sky. Surrounded in my element. Not using it against others...Just being.

A few moon cycles later I was leading another raid. This time Lightflame flew behind me.
The night started as usual. A few minutes later the pillars of fire would be risen, and I would start my attack on the towers.
" You promised Darkflame! You said you would save me!"
I heard Hookedclaw's voice scream at me through the wooden doors when I would fly past.
" You snake! Come back here and help me!"
You risk being seen if you go down. The voice hisses as I start to form a blast.
I agree before flying up. I spot Lightflame climbing one of the towers. His scales are covered in flames.
I watch carefully waiting for the chance to strike if needed. The Vikings spot him and start to attack.
" Get out of the way!" I command.
I dive down. The clear whistle of my speed tuning in my ears. I let the blast go and it shatters the wood like ice. I spin and turn back around sporting another explosive blast at the tower, setting it on fire at the same time.
Many of the buildings are on fire. The smell of burning wood fills my nostrils. I've always liked the smell. But not in this way. The air is also filled with the scent of mourning. It comes from all the dragons, all the humans.
We are stripping them of their right to life. Stealing their food, and destroying Their shelters. We kill their people in every raid.
And fairly, the kill us. What we do to them, all adds up to be their right to kill any dragon that passes their path.
This is why dragons fear man. We know what we do is wrong. And we know we have taken much from them. We are worthy of death. And some even seek it just to escape the feeling of their guilt doing as they do under the queen.
It drives them mad. It is rare that a dragon lives long here.
Your not doing your job. The voice calmly reminds me.
I put on speed as I race towards the next and last standing tower. I pass by once hitting it. And I go back to hit it once more. Just as I do there is an odd whirring sound before a searing pain as something is ripped off my body.
I scream in pain. " Lightflame!"
I catch a last glimpse of him walking towards a Viking just before his image is lost as I enter the trees.
I yell as trees try to rip my scales off. My vision goes black as I hit the trunks of the forest. And finally after sliding painful and dropping over a rock onto the hard ground I become lost in my memories.

" Go Darkflame," FireClaw whisper weakly. " Finish what you mother and I will never be able to...I love you Darkflame.
" Now little one. It's time to rise. You must learn to survive in this harsh world. Especially for you." Gala's warm gaze washes over me.
" Of course kiddo. Whats your name?"
" Darkflame,"
The new dragon pauses. " I'm Lightflame actually." He says with a little chuckle. " Come now, I'll tell you about your new family on our way there,"
-
" Darkflame, Your going to be okay. Come on, wake up. Just wake up"
I slowly open my eyes again. Mother?
She was here. Father! There alive!
I open my eyes excited besides the painful pounding in my head.
Where ever I am it's dark, stone walls surrounding me. I glance around expecting to see my mother, but all I who I see I front of me is Moon. " Moon?" I croak. " W-where's Mother and Father?"
" Lightflame is on the other side of the cave," she says quietly.
" No, no where are my parents? Dad, he- he killed the dragon pinning Firebird and. And Mother was there, she protected my from the Dark one." My imagine from the cave.
-
The eggs shatter as they hit the rock floor.
-
" I'll send Moon to you. You have to take care of her" I tell Firebird.
-
" You promised!" Hookedclaw yells
I'm sorry I'm such a failure
hope theres no code stuff
