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

Chapter 70: Conclusion Of The Battle

     Admiral Kenobi was yanking the teeth out of one of the enemys' mouths when he just so happened to spot familiar scale colors out of the corner of his eye. He dropped the bleeding SkyWing, who scurried away quickly when he looked away.

     Well if it isn't father and sons? he thought, raising his eyebrows at the scene. Arson was pinned on the ground by RedRunner as Flint bashed the blood red SkyWing's head on the ground.

     The Admiral started to approach,but before he got into earshot, RedRunner snapped Arson's neck. Admiral Kenobi joined them anyway as the bright red, fireless SkyWing dropped his father's corpse on the ground.

    "Oh wow, he deserved that," the orange-red SkyWing commented as the twins glanced up at him. Flint kicked his dead father's body aside, his Firescales slightly burning it as he did so.

    "That couldn't be more true," RedRunner agreed in a hiss, narrowing his eyes. The Admiral blinked.

    "How did you guys find us in the first place?" he asked RedRunner, turning to another fugitive, this time another SkyWing, and punching him in the throat.

    "Oh, I had this kind of.. prophetic dream..? It's hard to explain. The most important thing though, was that in my dream, I found where our parents were hiding, and I went through a secret passage into the prisoner room. So I told Queens Thorn and Glory and they, along with their armies and a few soldiers from Queen Anarchy's army, raided this place," RedRunner replied excruciatingly slowly while kicking another dragon in the snout.

     Flint stared at his brother with an expression between deadpan and dumbfounded while burning the life out of some random enemy.

    "We should really stop killi-" the Admiral was cut off as RedRunner yelled, "IT'S MOTHER!"

     Flint and Kenobi whipped around to see the golden SkyWing just standing there before Arson's dead body, doing nothing. I've never seen less of a reaction to something as drastic as your husband dying, Admiral Kenobi's mind admitted.

     Flint and RedRunner exchanged a guilty glance. They nodded at each other, glancing back at Sear.

    "She hasn't done anything wrong at her own will that she deserves the death penalty for," they decided. The Admiral glanced back at them with surprise.

    "Really?"

    "Yes. We'll put her in the dungeon with the rest of the fugitives in this battle that live," RedRunner announced. Sear, seeming to have heard their entire conversation, looked at them once before sitting down on the ground, surrendering herself to them.

    "ONE OF THE LEADERS HAS DIED AND THE OTHER HAS SURRENDERED! RETREAT!!!" some of the fugitives called upon spotting Arson and Sear. Kenobi smirked as the remaining mass of dragons tried to escape, only then to be caught in the talons of Queen Thorn and her guards who were blocking the exit.

    "No escape for you fugitives. You're going to be in prison for a loooooooong time," the SandWing Queen informed them. The new prisoners grumbled as the guards firmly locked them in chains.

    "I don't think too many dragons died during the battle, but it's my job to count," the nearby General Sultan sighed, leaping into the air.

     Admiral Kenobi, alongside Flint (RedRunner had already dashed to Feather's side), padded up to Queen Anarchy who was talking to the other Queens.

    "I can take in all the SandWings and even some of the NightWings if you want," Queen Thorn offered her.

    "Of course! And I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given us through this all," the SkyWing Queen replied, trying to rub the blood off of her orange-gold scales.

    "No problem! I mean, even if our children weren't in the bunch to be kidnapped, we still would've helped," Glory assured Queen Anarchy. Kenobi already knew this, but he didn't want to be rude by speaking up.

    "Or grandchildren," Thorn added, grinning as Princess Golddust run up and hugged her. Princess Sunny and Starflight also joined.

    "Grandmother Thorn, ever since I was kidnapped, the whispering in my mind is louder than than ever; I can almost understand what the voice is saying," Golddust announced. Thorn, Sunny, and Starflight all made an odd expression.

    "Oh, she's always been a weird one, Golddust has," Queen Thorn chuckled awkwardly. Queen Glory narrowed her eyes in confusion and Queen Anarchy shrugged.

    "Anyway, I think it's about time to head back," Queen Anarchy concluded, spreading her wings before taking off into the air once more.
