Chapter 38: Lady Redwood's Treason

     "H-how could you.?!" Princess Anarchy snarled in disbelief, lashing her tail. Lady Redwood just sat in the middle of the hallway filing her claws.

     "I just did what I thought was right, darling," Lady Redwood smirked.

     "Releasing all of the prisoners for no reason isn't 'right'!" Princess Anarchy cried, barreling into the traitorous Lady Redwood.

     "Stop!" she could hear the guards ordering, but she was too blinded by anger to listen. She pushed Lady Redwood down off the ledge. She swooped down after her.

     "Back when I was a dragonet and we would battle, I was so sure you weren't purposely trying to kill me, but you were, weren't you?!" she hissed, slashing her grandmother's maroon and mustard-yellow scales.

     "Princess Anarchy, halt!" the guards repeated, pinning her down as soon as she landed on the ground. The scratched up and bleeding Lady Redwood smiled evilly at Princess Anarchy.

     "She's insane! I was just standing there and she attacked me!" Lady Redwood lied with fake fear.

     "We'll lock her up," Admiral Kenobi said reluctantly. Princess Anarchy felt betrayed. She quickly tried to heat her Firescales up, but it was like it didn't affect the dragons pulling her away.

      Her vision became somewhat blurry, but as she was being dragged away thrashing and clawing, she could've sworn she'd seen two familiar SkyWings standing back and watching. She forgot them a moment later, though when she was thrown into a dank, dirty prison cell and Lady Redwood stared down at her through the rusty bars. Her grandmother smirked.

     "I never liked you," she commented.

     "Princess Blaze was always my favorite," Lady Redwood admitted.

     "So that's it. You lock me up forever so my little sister will become Queen?" Princess Anarchy growled.

     "Exactly..!" Lady Redwood sneered, turning to the SeaWing healer and animus of the Sky Palace, Mako.

     "I have made the key (it's the only key to that cell), and I've enchanted the cell she's in to be unbreakable.." he said nervously.

     "Thank you, Mako, that's all," Lady Redwood said, leaving the dungeon behind Mako.

      A few minutes later, Princess Anarchy heard another voice:

     "I can take this shift," the dragon offered.

     "Okay, thank you. I'll be back later for the next shift," Admiral Kenobi sighed.

      I wonder who that guard is..? she thought. His voice sounds familiar...
