The crimson dragon grinned mischievously, their eyes hidden in shadow.
"Those idiots don't suspect a thing!" They chuckled to the glittering almost-translucent white dragon.
"Of course they don't," the white dragon assured them, brushing their wing with the crimson dragon's as they walked around them. "You gave them all they could ever want."
The crimson dragon sighed. "I know, but... what if my solution backfires? What if it's actually worse than before, and the plan fails?"
"It won't," the white dragon murmured comfortingly. "Everything's going according to plan. The puzzle pieces are falling into place, and once the set-up stage is done, nothing can stop us."
The crimson dragon smiled.
"You're right," she said determinedly, stepping out of the shadows to reveal her glittering gem-like scales and jet-black feathers. "I'm Empress Cinnabar, the most powerful creature on Mynreao, and I will stop at nothing to make sure I succeed... even if that means killing a few Drolgons on the way."
