"But you can't just do that to children!" Eon protested. Valor leaned forward from his throne. "Of course I can. Even if you are a god to us and someone we all look up to," He grinned crookedly. "I still outrank you." Eon bit back his tears. He was kneeling to the three heading king, Valor. They were in his holy throne room with nothing but them in it. Eon sniffled. "Will you at least not kill him and instead, banishment?" Eon look up at the king, eyes glistening, heart throbbing, and spirit obliterated. The king scratched his chin. "Hmmm. What do you think?" he looked at his other two heads. (They were considered siblings. Don't ask why) All three of them had a silent discussion. Till eventually they all nodded in unison. "It's been decided," The king arose from his throne in the faint light in the room, slowly becoming brighter. "I declare as Valor, The Equalizer, Son of Eon, shall grant your son relief of execution and instead, to be exiled from the galaxy Andromeda." The king sat back on his throne. "The trial is over." And without a word, Eon, ever so betrayed, he walked strongly to the throne doors to exile his own son.

"Hey get off me!" Randy was playing with his sibling in the dirt. "Only if you say uncle!" Cinder cried. She happen to be able to pin Randy with her talons clasped around his shoulders and her eyes filled with evil humor. "Say uncle or else i'll have to be forced to! Tickle your toes!" She flipped around and and began to gnaw at his feet with her jaws. Randy was giggling and screamed, "Ok,ok,ok uncle, UNCLE!" she got off him and landed on her feet, crossing her arms behind her back. Randy stood up and observed at her. She was taller than he was. She had red dragon legs and arms, all armed with savage talons. She had a long scaly tail that bristled with spikes and her eyes blazed green with slits in them. She had a snout with curved like knives for teeth and a purple forked tongue that once in awhile flicked in and out. All of their other siblings are either in afternoon classes or they were just too young, so they are in the nursery. And then Randy looked at himself and almost jumped. Randy didn't have a snout or a tail or scales running along his body, only on his chest, back, forearms and his legs. He did have clawed feet and hands but other than that he was different. Cinder stepped closer to Randy. "What's wrong?" Randy had a lump in his throat but managed to speak. "Why is is that i'm different from everybody else?" He looked at Cinder. She scratched the back of her head. "Hmmm," She hummed puzzled, "maybe Dad could tell us why." The door to the well lit cave burst open. Appeared at the front door was there father, Eon. He had dark and light blue scales with golden ones sprinkled everywhere. In the light everyone of his scales flashed in Randy's eyes. Eon was just like Cinder but blue and had wings on his back. He stood up straight on his to hind legs perfectly. Randy knew something was wrong. There father's eyes are red and puffy and his lips were quivering. Cinder walked up to him and hugged his leg, pressing her cheek against his shin. "What's wrong daddy?" he sniffled and wiped away tears and knelt down next to Cinder. Eon waved Randy to come over and so he did. "I'm afraid Randy has to leave." "Why?" Whined Cinder. "Isn't he part of our family?" Randy felt horrible but most importantly, betrayed. "Yes my dear, but." Eon lowered his hand and cupped his hand under her chin. "The king forbids people like Randy and as wrong as it sounds." Tears were now welling up in his sore eyes. "He has to leave." And Eon choked on that last sentence.

Randy and Cinder helped gather his things and stored them in a pod. "This is wrong." Cinder stormed. "IT'S UNFAIR!" Cinder dropped the things in her arms and roared. Her eyes were filled with rage and disappointment. All this did was hurt Randy further. He stopped her fit with a hug and as a result, she stopped. Randy was crying now. "Please stop," he pleaded sadly. "Don't be upset. You now I will always will be with you." He turned her around so that she'd face him. Her face was dumbfounded and shocked. Her eyes were questionable as to say Why are you saying this? "Cinder," He carried on. "It will be OK." In her solid, traumatic state, a tear rolled down her cheek. Randy whipped the tears away and hugged her one last time. He the gathered all the things Cinder dropped and hesitantly, flopped in the pod. This will be the last time I'll ever see them, Randy thought. And with a terrible moment the pod shook dangerously and off he went, as fast as a rocket, he flew up and out of the atmosphere of the planet, only to be swallowed whole in the darkness.
