Crusher and Pet: The New Moon (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4

          The demon queen never did well to those who invaded her land. As the weak dinosaur was dragged into her throne room, her eyes widened. Two guards followed with a trunk of jewels and treasure. They were the ones who had to tell the queen about the invader.  After a long story they were told to cut to the chase.
          "Well.. you see... the mines.. There the dragon queens and we found him" he finished quickly waiting to be punished. The queen's face turned redder than blood and she slammed  her staff down making a loud boom, and Pet's chains and mask were taken off. He tried to run but was cut off by sharp spears and spells that lifted him and put him in front of the queen in a bowing position. Quickly standing up and back into a fighting position, the dinosaur showed his claws once again. As the queen stood up, the guards stiffened and waited for instructions.
          "Ohhh, a feisty one. Why not keep him out for a bit, and let him play?" she grinned and continued. "So, the land I was building on is the dragon queen's. What a pity, oh well and to bad for he-" A seventh guard ran in with news of the mountain collapses and its destruction. The queen let out a sigh and pointed to the new guard as he disappeared.
         Pet found this as his chance and dashed out of the room and down the hall. Everyone ran after him in a mad dash. Gasping for air, the escape neared an exit as he burst out of the door. It seemed like the entire palace was chasing him, and for a split-second the outside seemed almost peaceful. Then the lava and shouting came back as he kept on running. The queen made her troops stop as she let him run, far away, and they watched as he turned into a speck and soon nothing. Going into an unknown world. He ran and ran until he was sure he wasn't being stalked. Turning around just in time he jumped back at the sight of the crippled mountain. He stood there and staired pondering about what could have happened to his friend. Then ne noticed the red spot near the middle and started to whine. Fireballs came plummeting down near him as he panicked, but it was already too late. A circle of flames engulfed the dinosaur trapping him. The queen's guards swarmed him as she magically flew overhead. She was angry now which was never good for anyone. Back at the castle when they returned, more of the prisoners were mourning as the guards came out of the dreaded room with the horrifying box. The queen did the same thing as the last time taking the energy from the hearts of the innocent beings.
          When she finished the queen walked over to pet who wasn't chained up, to his surprise, and grabbed him by his snout.
          "If you," she turned around to the sea of prisoners "or anyone else here pulls anything like that again... well let's just say it will be the worst time of your lives... times me."

          The crunching of the cactus in the mortars held by the two healers filled the room. A sinister feeling hung in the air above the dragon's heads as the crunching and sloshing continued. Soon enough, the foul-smelling cactus was turned into a thick yellow paste, that the healers began to scoop from the mortars and spread on the torn and tattered wing of the passed out dragon on the cold, flat stone table. They then began to fold the wing against the patient's body and wrap a bandage around his wing and body, tying it just below the functional wing on the other side.
          Quietly, the three soldiers watched the delicate procedure take place, so that maybe one day, when they needed it, they could use this information to help one another. Minutes, which felt like hours for the young dragonet soldiers, passed by as they watched the doctors work their magic. Not too long after the healers had finished their work, the young dragon began to stir. He lyed there, still, for a minute, when out of nowhere, his eyes shot open and he jerked his head off of the table. He shrieked, surprised, and tried to spread his wings as a reflex, but flinched at the pain. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
          The pain soon grew unbearable. Crusher flinched and jumped and screamed, all while running around the room like a madman. The nurses tried their best to calm him down but as soon as he laid eyes on Cynder he stopped in his tracks. The dragoness' beautiful sky blue scales gently flowed together with her outstanding bright orange eyes,resulting in an enchanted twist of color. She also has little tufts of purple fur at the end of her tail and ears, which he immediately fell in love with.
          Cynder, of course did not feel the same way and looked away from the injured dragon's goo-goo eyes while mumbling "We had to drag your butt all the way here just for you to swoon over the first girl you see. Typical dragon."
          Mirsoth was talking in the background trying to get information like if anyone else was in the cave, or if he knew anyone here, then he also asked why Crusher was there. After answering the questions and telling them all about Pet and his family, they made him describe Pet, as he was their first concern.
