Chapter 2 Willis POV

The streets of (illieria) were well kept and clean but none of that mattered to the son of none. Willis had grown up on the streets stealing food to survive. And currently with winter closing in he needed to get his next meal soon. He crept along the narrow alleyways of the Capitol quiet and alert looking for the city watch that was patrolling the city. "What's going on Willis?" Said a voice from the shadows. Willis jumped from his crouch to a standing position drawing his dagger and holding it ready. Behind him stood Rosaline laughing at him for jumping up like that. Shaking his head he sheathed his dagger and went to leave when Rosaline said "you need to steal something worth plenty of money if you want to make it through this winter."

"Tell me something I don't already know." Willis said.

"Ok then I guess you don't want to know the green egg is in the castle and there happens to be enough gold and jewels lying in a bag in the same room behind the door to last somebody all winter." Rosaline said grinning. Turning Willis ran up to her and gave her a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek before sprinting towards the castle. Yelling "thank you princess!" Behind him.

POV CHANGE

Rosaline stood there smiling as Willis ran down the street before looking down at her hand at the symbol of a rider she had just gotten from the ruby red dragon which she decided to name Jinx. She began to slowly walk down the streets towards the keep where her elder brother Melkir ruled from.

POV CHANGE WILLIS

The dark streets of the capital were empty this late at night except for a lone figure. Willis ran quickly to the castle under the massive ledge above the city. He barely made a sound as he went from street to street searching dodging guards until his reached the citadel. Slowing down to a stop Willis looked around before he started climbing the citadel walls. He reached the fifth floor where the eggs are usually kept when they are in the city. Creeping down the corridor Willis found a single locked door. Picking the lock with the smooth ease of a practiced thief he walked inside grabbed the bags behind the pedestal and reaching out he laid his hand on the breathtaking green egg he watched surprised as it started to hatch. Yelling came from behind him. Turning he had just enough time to see a shield swinging towards his face before he was on the ground slipping into the darkness.

Time break 2 hours

When Willis awoke he was in a suite laying on the bed the green dragon at his side and the riders mark on his hand. Sitting up he saw Rosaline sitting by his bed smiling with a ruby red dragon sitting in her lap and the riders mark upon her palm also. Smiling he stood up and with the young hatchling on his shoulder he walked out onto the balcony and watched as the sun rose in the distance. He heard Rosaline walk next to him and felt her hand intertwine with his and felt his smile grow larger as a new age began. The sun was shining high above the golden capital of the Brodding Kingdom and upon his shoulder stood a neon green dragon with whom he'd explore the world.
