Im back! OK, so, I loved all my reviews! Yes, Zero, I will write more. And FanFictionConnection, in answer to your question, yes it takes place after the series. The only difference is that Morrowseer and Kestrel are still alive. Well, thanks for all of the encouragement everyone! Here's chapter 2.
Clay didn't know what to do. Starflight had bowed the instant they were told to, crossing his front talons and touching his forehead to the floor. Tsunami was growling deep in her throat while Sunny cowered against the burly SeaWing. Yes, Clay valued his life. No, he did not wish to bow to this crazy, vengeful, and definitely dangerous SkyWing. "Bow before me or I'll tear this one's throat out." Scarlet said menacingly. She seized Sunny by the shoulder and held her talon to the SandWing's neck, claws extended. Sunny let out a terrified squeak. With a muffled yelp, Clay threw himself to the ground. Tsunami growled once more, then reluctantly bowed as well.
"Isn't this just thrilling? The dragonets of destiny, bowing to me! I can't wait to see the look on Morrowseer's face when I tell him." Tsunami yelled something through the gag, probably "Go swim with an electric eel, Squid-Brain!" It was her favorite insult, ever since the Kingdom of the Sea, though she never used it on the dragonets. "You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment." Scarlet continued. "Now that I have you, you're each going to feel all the pain and misery you caused me. But for you, it will be much, much worse." She emphasized this by giving Sunny a shake before tossing her to the ground.
"Who should I start with? The nervous MudWing? Or the stunted SandWing? Such a difficult decision. How about the SeaWing? Her will is strong. It'll take a long time to break her. But break her I shall. I promise you. Guards!" Scarlet said. "Take her away. I'll deal with you guys later." Scarlet followed her guards out of the cell as they dragged a thrashing Tsunami away. With one last menacing laugh, Scarlet locked the door behind her. As soon as she was gone, Starflight curled into a tight little ball, while Sunny burst into tears. Clay wrapped one wing around each of the smaller dragonets, trying to comfort them. Both huddled into his sides, and Sunny hugged his foreleg gratefully. He really hoped Tsunami was alright.
Then, a bloodcurdling scream tore through the air, along with cold laughter. There were shouts and curses, then a sharp cry, then silence. Clay spread his wings protectively around Sunny and Starflight. Then the noise started up again. There were several loud cracks, then incoherent screaming. All three dragonets clapped their talons over their ears. This continued for hours, although Clay wasn't sure exactly how many. Clay drifted in and out of nightmares in which his friends were tortured to death while he was forced to watch.
Uh oh! Looks like the dragonets are in trouble. What happened to Tsunami? You'll have to keep reading to find out. Please review. I will try to respond to each of them, but I might miss a few. I am open to friendly criticism and/or suggestions. As always, I'll try to update soon. -SukoreanWarlord
