The Ties that Bind us

The Arena

It was the next day, the twins had been mainly left alone other than Gunnar taunting them again, from outside the door. Leyla and Dak were sitting on the floor of their cell, "I miss the dragons." Dak mutters, to his twin.

"I do too." Leyla responds, "What do you even think they're doing?"

"Probably panicking because their translators are gone." Dak laughs.

"Probably." Leyla agrees, the twins continued talking and laughing when they were interrupted by Gunnar again.
"Hey kiddies." Gunnar tells them.

"No!" Leyla yells, "Go away."

"Yeah don't ruin this by being yourself!" Dak yells.

"Okay." Gunnar laughs, walking away.

"He's annoying." Leyla tells her twin.

"I'm annoying?" Gunnar asks, walking in.

"Thor dude!" Leyla yells, "Thought you left!"

"And yes!" Dak adds, "Very annoying."

"Anyways kiddies, thought I'd tell you." Gunnar starts, "The reason you're here is starting today."

"And that reason is?" Dak asks standing up.

"Training dragons of course." Gunnar responds.

"We're not doing that." Leyla responds, standing up beside her twin.

"Yeah you are." Gunnar laughs, walking out of the room closing the door behind him. Dak and Leyla look at each other confused before they're interrupted by the wooden door opening. The red headed twins turn towards the door, and walk towards it. The two of them are met by guards forcing them to completely go into the arena, "Have fun kids." Gunnar yells from above, from where he was sitting in the stands.

"Soo." Dak drags, "What dragon do you think we're going to train?"

"Why is that your concern?" Leyla asks.

"Because I wanna know if we're going to see something cool." Dak responds.

"Dak." Leyla mutters, the two of them look up at the door on the other side and see it opening it. A dragon walks out being pushed by hunters. The door shuts behind the dragon with the hunters leaving the arena as well, the dragon looks up at the children, "I think that's a monstrous nightmare."

"So cool." Dak mutters.

"Dak!" Leyla yells.

"They sound cool." Dak responds.

"Why would they put kids in here with me?" The monstrous nightmare asks.

"Your guess is as good as ours." Leyla responds.

"Did- did you just answer me?" The monstrous nightmare asks.

"Yep," Dak responds, "Cool trick right."

"So you're working with them?" The monstrous nightmare yells at the twins.

"No!" Leyla yells, with no avail the dragon starts charging at the two of them. The twins get out of the way of the dragon, and look around the arena. There was no cover or shields they could use, Dak was standing near the Monstrous nightmare's tail attempting to see his twin on the other side of the arena, when he hit with the dragons tail throwing him into the stone wall.

Dak falls down the wall and drops into a sitting position on the floor, "You're going to have to try harder than that!" Gunnar yells at them.

"Oh shut it!" Leyla yells at the man who turned the dragon's attention to her, "Shoot." The dragon starts walking towards the girl. "I promise neither of us are working with them!"
