The War of Eternity

Chapter 16

Starclaw's POV

Ugh. Why? Everything that is my life is now being destroyed or in the hands of a tyrant queen, Starclaw thought madly. She knew as soon as she had the chance she would claw the queen to death. Or maybe it would be good to peel every scale off then claw her to death. Ever since they moved Starclaw she was controlled into a cell.

This was worse than even school. It is probably in ruins from the fire breath and damage She and the horrible dragons did.

Now, where are the pups going to learn? How are they? Is there anyone hurt? Why is the queen so horrible to do this to families, to kids.

Her worries and questions hit her like a rock in the snout. They were overwhelming, but she deserved to ask these questions.

Starclaw looked around the

prison cell the queen had controlled her into. Was this really how Moonstone had felt the entire time she was captured? If so, she is way stronger than she ever knew, and she knew her sister was very strong.

She looked around again to see

if there was anything else she could use to get out. It was empty except for a small patch of stones that was supposed to be her bed, but she noticed the ground was dirt. IT WAS DIRT!! She wanted to dance with joy. Which is what she did. She pranced around her cell grinning and the guards gave her a weird look but she didn't care.

She had found her way out and nothing -not even queen Jacemp scum- could stop her now! She felt like she was floating on the moon. She-

She shook her head with a slight growl. This was no time to be grinning and dancing. This was time for work and a rescue mission!

Even though Starclaw was still

injured from her weird Lunar Stone spasm, she would still be the wolf to fly in and save the day! She probably would be doing that anyway. Though, first, she had to get out of this cell.

She dug a hole as small as

she could, while the guards were turned away -probably disturbed from her earlier happy dancing- taking her chance to be free!

. . .

A few hours later she was finally almost through to where she could climb in and do a little more digging. She climbed through the hole to where she hit a wall of dirt. Starclaw scooted back a little to where her tail was sticking out of the hole so that she could dig when suddenly she felt sharp claws grab her tail and hoist her out of the hole and back into her horrible prison.

" Just what do you think you're doing," said a voice that was so familiar to Queen Erriers that a bolt of fear shot through her until she realized it was missing her tone of smug royalness, and instead was just plain smugness.

The dragon set her down and she glared up at him. She hated how much bigger he was than her, why did all her enemies have to be like that? Couldn't just one be normal height?

It was then that she realized while studying him, he had no armor, which meant he wasn't a guard. But then...why was he here? We're dragons allowed to just stroll into prisoners' cells whenever they like?

"Oh come on. Don't be like that. I'm one of the good dragons."

She snorted, "all dragons are bad. Every. Single. One."

"I bet your sister wouldn't be too happy to hear that you've said that."

She eyed him warily, "how do you know I have a sister." She wished he would stop smirking like that. From what she saw, he only had three faces: smug smirk, extremely smug smirk, and "I'm too cool for the universe" smirk."

His smirk changed to extremely smug as he said, " easy I go to school with her."

She rolled her eyes at how idiotic he was. "She doesn't -and has never gone to- a dragon's school. She goes to Ultimuna a much better school than your dumb school."

"My 'dumb school' is Flameneria and it's not dumb. But she does go to my school. You can ask her yourself."

"Well I would but I don't think you realize that I'm a prisoner here. I can't just go wherever I please, unlike you."

"What if I told you I can help with that?"

She snorted again. It was hard not to. He was just so ridiculous! "How can one mear, measly dragon like you change the mind of your 'glorious' Queen Phoenix Dung's mind,"

"Easy. 'Queen Phoenix Dung' is my mother, prince Bitod of the dragons at your service." He said with a mocking bow as her eyes widened.

"Well then what are you waiting for, Prince of annoying? Let's go see my sister!"
