My punishment is finally over, after a week in that stinky jail cell. Queen Scarlet ordered me back to work, and I'm already melting stupid metals. My sister is clinging to me like crazy, and it's hard doing my job when she's there. Whatever, I'll deal with that later.

I'm hungry. I walk over to the entrance of the cave, and fly out. I hear talk about dragonets being captured as I fly around the corner. I find a cow just out in the open so I burn it and eat on the spot. Once I finish, I forgot my sister might be hungry.

"Sis, you hungry?" I grumpily asked her. "Just a little..." She whispers into my ear. I grab a little piece of leftover meat, and she eats. "Thanks." She tells me. I just fly up again, back to my cave.

As I worked, a SkyWing guard comes into my cave. He has a disgusted look on his face when he sees me, and snarls. "The Queen invites you to watch the Dragonets of Destiny in the fighting arena. Come if you wish." The guard flies off, leaving me to think. 'How did the Queen get ahold of the Dragonets of Destiny?!?' I go to the entrance of my cave, jumping out to the arena. I glide around the corner and find the Queen with Peril at her side, speaking to her. I fly over, bowing to the Queen as I land. Peril turns to look at me, and she smiles at me. I just grumpily look away, and Queen Scarlet speaks. "Come, Peril, you must get ready for your next battle!"

The Queen shoo's me away to some other part of the arena, where I sat in a secluded area, so I don't burn any dragon. Just to prevent being locked up again. I see Queen Scarlet fly to her spot, where I notice a RainWing chained to a marble tree, changing colours while napping. 'Why is there a RainWing here?!?' I thought to myself. I turned away, to watch the arena. That's when I saw one of the Dragonets of Destiny in the arena.
