Through the Dragons Eyes

Prologue

The ground is spattered with blood and ashes from the recent battle in Eanruig. King Kenreik stands with Azmariah and Labhaoise overlooking the ruins. Kenreik turn to the two women behind him and grabs Azmariah by her color the pulls her face close to his.

"You said they would be here, elf." He says through gritted teeth.

"They aren't?" Azmariah asks, terrified. Kenreik throws her to the ground then goes over to the captain of the Guard.

"Search the dungeons." He tells them. "And take me to the old man."

Guards lead the two elves and the human King up to the kings quarters, where Abimelech is tied to his bed post and gagged. Kenreik goes over to him and kicks him in the stomach. The old man wakes up and coughs. He looks up at the young King above him and glares. He's the one that killed all of his people.

"Where is Jovena?" Kenreik demands, ripping the gag out of the elfs mouth.

"She's not here?" Abimelech asks, suprised. Kenreik kicks him in the stomach once more, making him loose his breath.

"I'll ask you this once more, where is Jovena?" Kenreik asks, now leaning down next to the crumpled old man.

"I do not know where Her and her murderous dragon are." Abimelech tells Kenreik. Furious, Kenreik takes out a dagger and plunges it into his heart. Both of the female elves flinch and Labhaoise stifles a scream.

"Let's get out of this hell hole, men. Bring the women back with us, tied up and gagged." Kenreik tells his men. "They have some questions to answer."

The women are in too much shock to struggle as the are harshly tied up and gagged. They don't do anything until they get into the prisoner cart, where they cry.
