An Assassin's Choice {Wings Of Fire Fanfic/AU}

Chapter 52: Look Who Won

     The sun was shining high in the sky at this time. Birds were singing and fluffy clouds dotted the azure blue. In Princess Anarchy's opinion, this was not the weather she was expecting that day she challenged for the throne. Nevertheless, that was what it was like and so it would be like this in all the SkyWings that witnessed its memories for the rest of their lives.

     Princess Anarchy herself was preparing for the fateful battle in the dungeon, the very place where all of this shit started.

    "I'm glad you could come on such short notice," the Princess sighed. Topaz grinned.

    "I would never miss the event one of my best friends was dreaming of since we met!" the golden-orange SkyWing admitted.

    "Don't die," Flint ordered. Princess Anarchy smiled softly.

    "I won't" she whispered, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. He widened his eyes in surprise, beginning to open his mouth to say something, but Princess Anarchy was already walking away to enter the arena.

     The crowd of SkyWings and SandWings roared as she stepped out onto the hot sand. The sun beat down on her, making her screw up her face in the new light. Through narrowed eyes, the Princess glared ahead at the large SkyWing she had once looked up to.

     Redwood. All that name meant now was evil.

    "Claws up.." Prince Hellwing announced.

     Princess Anarchy glanced up at the stands that the crowd was occupying, spotting the group made up of Admiral Kenobi, Pink-Lemonade, Topaz, Prince Kadal, Mightyroar, and Flint, who were all looking at her with concern for what was about to happen.

    "Fire ready..."

     Flint met her gaze, fear radiating off him in waves.

    "FIGHT!" both SkyWings launched at each other, claws extended. The Princess immediately raked her fiery claws down her enemy's open wing.

     Redwood screamed with pain before stomping down on her, apparently ignoring the pain from her Firescales.

    "Give up, your efforts are futile!" the evil Queen hissed as Princess Anarchy squirmed under her grasp.

    "NEVER!" she shot back, ripping her arm out from under Redwood's talons and slashing the Queen's eyes out with her claws.

     Queen Redwood shrieked with pain again, staggering backwards off of her granddaughter. Princess Anarchy took the chance. Darting into the large SkyWing, the Princess knocked Redwood off her feet. She grabbed the Queen's maroon horns.

    "This is what happens when you betray the Queen!" Princess Anarchy announced, fatally snapping Redwood's neck. She dropped the limp body of her grandmother onto the now bloodstained sand.

     The crowd erupted with cheers and applause as the new SkyWing Queen had proved that she was worthy.

     Princess- no, Queen Anarchy smiled, looking around at her citizens, gaze eventually landing on the small group of her friends.

     They were also cheering, but most importantly, Flint was smiling down at her with relief and joy.

     She had won. She finally made things right by slaughtering her evil grandmother.
