THE BATTLE OF DRAGONS: Auryn and the fate of Nagendra

Rexanne

'It's too tight,' I say to the servants. The black dress looks stunning on me, I whish I could kill Dryston a hundred times. While the servant loosen up my dress a bit, I caress my pregnant belly. Just a few months left, and I'll have an heir.

' Is this better, your majesty?'

' It is, you may leave.'

The servants kneel and then leave. Luckilly I don't have to say anything during the funeral. You must be quiet during a royal funeral, or else youll be in jail. I leave my room, and my personal guard Elyse follows me. It is a long walk to the funeral and the weather doesn't look good. I want this day to be over, so I can continue my research. The people on the hallway kneel for me as I walk by. It is now raining outside so I hold my dress up so that it doesn't get dirty.
I killed Dryston and everyone thinks he died of an heart attack. Only few know the truth. Bates, Elyse and the guards who were guarding the throne room.
I can still feel the glowing sword in my hands when I killed Dryston. It felt immensely great.
We Arive at the funeral. My parents and the king and queens before them would make a big show of it. They would have come with a big golden carriage, people playing sad music and guards and servants all around them. I like it simple. I don't need sad music. And I only need Elyse. A true queen can take care of her self most of the time.
Everyone is wearing black, as they should. They stand on a distance, and I climb up the little podium, So everyone can see me. I look at the big crowd and spot Elyse's family in front of the crowd. The boy with the golden hair and green eyes stares into my eyes. How dare he? I'll see it through the fingers, since his mother is my personal guard.
I try to look sad and confident at the same time. I have to show the people that I loved Dryston, and I have to show them that I am a strong queen.
We stand there for a while, then for an hour.
Now it is time to Lay down a flower for the king. Everyone stands in a line and lay down beautiful flowers, but they all look soggy because of the rain. I stare at Dryston's grave. The stone is huge, and it says: " King Dryston Jeager of Etrill 400 AG -451 AG" Only Royals with Domnhall blood can be buried in the royal tomb, not kings or queens who were married into royalty. My older brother Luan , Heir to the throne is buried there, along with my parents and cousins and aunts. Their cause of death was the dragon queen Nagendra. But she couldn't kill me.
And here I am at another funeral. But this time I don't feel sadness, I feel slightly delighted.
I ask Elyse how late it is, and she says it's almost evening. I tell everyone that it is time to leave, and step of the little podium.
Suddenly I hear wings flapping in the sky, and when I look up, I see dragons in the sky, dragons without a saddle.
Black Siders. It's an attack.
I look for Elyse, but she is nowhere to be found. Did she run away when she saw the dragons? That coward will pay for this!
Why didn't the scouts warn about the dragons?  How could this happen? The crowd starts screaming, they are running all over the place. The knights are here too, so they don't have their armor and weapons, they only have their stupid black clothes on. Mighty dragons! I run Towards the Royal dragon cave, where my dragon is. Suddenly I see guards running towards me.
'Majesty, Follow us, we'll bring you to safety!' They yell. No.
My sword is in the castle.
' No! Get the knights to the dragon cave, I'll take care of myself!'
'Your majesty, You-'
'Do what I say!'
The guards run away and I run to the castle. It starts to thunder and I almost trip because of my wet dress. Suddenly I feel an immense heat behind me. I look behind me and see what I saw 18 years ago. I feel like my 22 year old self again.
Fire, screaming people everywhere.
Sirrion is burning. Again.
