Chapter 7- Freedom And The Sandwing Kingdom

Finally, the long awaited chapter 7 is here! sorry for not updating in so long, my laptop at my dad's hasn't been working and I've been busy. 

Anyway, without further ado, enjoy chapter 7 :)

"I have to got out of here," Said Galaxy to herself.  "First of all I've got to burn this gag."

She tested out her fire, few icicles dripped from above. She was lucky to be born with night vision. She stood still and thought of a plan. Slowly she let the metal freeze to solid pack ice, making it slightly weaker. She broke an icicle off of the dungeon ceiling, took the blunt end of the icicle and smashed it against the chain as hard as she could. It cracked and became weaker. Then she heated it apart the rest of the way. She did this to all her other chains but it took two days. it was a long, cold, and weakening process, especially with guards coming in and out frequently. She awaited in the shadows like a panther in the jungle. Her prey was a guard.

He came swaggering down the isle. A dragon poked its face out at it and he spat at them. The prisoner whimpered and walked away.

Boy, he certainly deserves what's coming to him. Snarled Galaxy in her head. As he walked by all high-and-mighty she grabbed his throat and whomped him on the head. Galaxy snatched the key dangling from his belt and unlocked the door. She charred him to make him look as close to a Nightwing as possible. Then she took an icicle as a gag and jammed it in his mouth. Then she shoved him in the cell, melted the chains onto his body to make him look like she did. Galaxy almost never used her Animus magic. Only if she felt her life, or her friend's, was at stake, which she usually got out of without magic too. After she was through, she bounded away silently in the dark to find Crystal.

Crystal had no idea where she was going, she was gagged, chained, blindfolded, and heavily guarded as they flew. She could feel the temperature getting warmer, so she assumed they were going to the Sandwing kingdom. (She hadn't heard what Hyena had said about that earlier, she was too busy being insanely furious with her). Crystal tried to get the gag out of her mouth, which she had luck with. She got it off to the point where she could talk.

"Where are we going?" Crystal demanded.

"Ah you finally got that gag off, I expected you to get it off as soon as it was on. Guess I overestimated you.

 Anyway, weren't you listening? We're going to the Sandwing kingdom, if you must know so I can present my captive– (cough cough) you– to my friend's mother." She told Crystal.

"Really not a smart move to tell you're captive all your evil plans, especially if I were to esca–"

Hyena started laughing, softly at first but then she got louder, Crystal could feel wingbeats heading in her direction.

Hyena flew to Crystal and pulled down her blind fold.

"You dumb, dumb dragon," Hyena started, as she threateningly held her scorpion tail under Crystal's chin. "You're not going to escape! If you tried I'd have you dead in a second." She cackled.

"What do you want with me?? What have I EVER DONE TO YOU?!?" Crystal yelled.

Hyena looked back and rolled her eyes.

"Guards, hold her down so I can knock her out again. I simply can not tolerate this annoyance." The Sandwing princess snapped.

"You're a lot of trouble you know," She hissed in Crystal's face. "maybe after our little chat, you'll remember all the pain I felt all because of you." And with that Hyena swung her talon at Crystal's face and everything was dark again.

                                                                                       ***

Meanwhile, Galaxy's mind was racing. Her visions were blurred. Her mind reading skills swirling around into mush in her head. She landed on an icicle, watching for a sign of Crystal. Don't use your Animus magic, even though you have only cast five~ well, six now~ spells in your life. She repeated to herself. She always kept track of her spells. She tried to read Crystal's mind to figure out where she was. So far all she could see was black. Maybe she's unconscious...

She tried Hyena's next, and it was mostly evil and cluttered thoughts. Not very pleasing to read, but she was also thinking about the Sand Kingdom. 

That's where they were going!
