Chapter 11 Kingdom to Freezer, Palace Fort: Zahara

(Glyph)

The sun set over the horizon as the three palace guards drags the limp form of Glyph into Fort Zahara; the guards then put Glyph's resting form into a prison cell, One of the guards was a tall, buff Icewing who put ice steel shackles on Glyph's hind legs, tail, front claws, and neck, like they did once before; to ensure their captive won't get way.

After a few hours have passed, Glyph was starting to wake up from what it felt like a never ending dream.

"Well looks like he's alive," says an optimistic voice that rang throughout the prison.

"UGH!! This again Jubilee, I already told you he is dead isn't that enough proof for you? "Says a gruff, masculine voice of a mudwing whose tail was suffering from frostbite.

Glyph's head rang with buzzing as he came to his senses. "W-Where am I, w-who are all of you, what is this place, and where is my brother?" Glyph questions, as he blinks fast trying to let his eyes adjust to the light in the prison room.

"See I told you he was alive Clobberstone," Said the high-pitched, cheerful voice of Jubilee.

"OI, PIPE DOWN YE STUPID RAINWING!!!" Says one of the guards who  walks up to Jubilee's cell and gives him a cold, menacing death glare.

"Hey,um,guard,sir, can you tell me where I a-" Glyph's voice was cut off by the high-pitched voice of Jubilee.

"Ha ha, yor very funny there nightwing, that you make a jest here when you are locked up and don't know where you even are," Jubilee smirks at Glyph which makes Glyph feels weird in his stomach.

"Hey! I do believe that the nightwing was talking to me not a dumb, idiotic, foolish rainwing like yourself," Said the guard as he made his way towards Glyph's cell.

"So you really don't know where you are boy?" The icewing prison guard said taken aback at what Glyph had said earlier. 

"Yes sir, and who are all of you?" Glyph says shaken, looking at his surroundings.

"Well if you must know where you are, you, are a prisoner of the royal palace Fort Zahara,after a few of my new trainees found you trying to cross the border; and if you must know these pathetic prisoners; the uptight, frozen tail mudwing is Clobberstone, the dimwitted and the most annoying one is Jubilee, honestly I'd kill him first if I had the chance," at that last sentence he whispers hoping that the rainwing did not over hear him.

"If you must know,  my name it's Shard, and just might what your name be nightwing?" Shard ask after he introduced himself to Glyph.

"M-My name is Sovereign." Glyph lies to Shard.

"Well now that we got all that business taken care o-" As Shard was about to finish, he was cut off by a loud earsplitting, angry sound of his name being called out. 

"SHAAARD!!!" Says a loud and angry voice of a royal female palace guard, who is clearly a higher rank by the beautiful and well crafted armor and jewelry that she wore.

"Yes what do you need, Azura?" Shard responds with a sigh.

"We need that nightwing, Queen YngvoR wants to execute him," Demanded Azura as she gives Glyph a cold stare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glyph could feel his heart sink and break into millions of pieces as Shard unlocks his cell, Shard then calls for Azura and four other guards to handle the restraints that Glyph was bound in; the guards didn't put up a fight with Glyph, because Glyph came willingly as he was brought before the queen's throne room.

"Well well, look at what we have here," said a cold, icy voice that rang throughout the throne room,from what Glyph could tell there was a a beautiful sculpted silver and ice thrones that stood on a gorgeous rug that was claw- sewn;the thrones stood on the  rug in the center of the room.

On the ceiling of the gigantic room hung beautiful tapestries, behind the throne was a tall,huge staircase that spiraled into to different rooms one must have been for the queen while the other was for the princess. 

On the throne sat a tall,regal,sharped face icewing she had a golden silver helmet that radiated when the sun rays were hitting it at an angle, there is something strange about the helmet that made Glyph want to shiver in fear; what looked like a normal helmet from far away one has to get close to see that the helm has carved dragon bones and horns decorated on the top of the helmet.

The queen also wore a silver chain necklace with the perfect blue sapphires embedded into the necklace 

The queen's voice is cold,cruel,and creepy that showed no fear of Glyph or his powers as well the whole room was dead silent.

"So, nightwing tell me why have you come here?" said queen YngvoR in a   high, mighty, booming voice.

"I-I was chased out of my kingdom" Glyph said, grimly.

"Let me guess you killed your queen and her daughter, well how unfortunate for you I'm sure,"said the queen as she let out a puff of ice crystals from her cold breath.

"N-No you're wrong I-I didn't kill my queen or her stupid daughter," Glyph says feeling his temper rise.

"LIAR! YOU KILLED YOUR QUEEN, YOU KEPT US FROM SIGNING A PEACE TREATY, SO NOW YOU COME TO ME TELLING ME A LIE, NOW YOU WILL DIE A LIARS DEATH FOOL!!! The queen shrieked her voice sounding murderous and unforgiving.

'GUARDS!!! BEAT THIS LYING,TREACHEROUS, SCUM!!! SHOW HIM WHAT TRUE POWER IS!!" Queen YngvoR roared with a twisted smile across her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   

Before Glyph could open his mouth to speak he felt a sharp pain in his back, Glyph turns his head to see that a female guard had stabbed him with an extremely sharp spear with a narwhal tusk attached to the spear end which Glyph was stabbed by; Glyph was about to cry in pain until another guard came and sucker punched him right in his jaw,at this Glyph wanted to use his powers to kill everyone but he knew better and kept his mouth closed.

fifty minuets passed as Glyph took the beating in which his brother should have gotten; Glyph felt a warm tingling sensation throughout his body as he collapsed to the icy floor in a bloody, beaten mess.

"Okay that is enough everyone,I do believe this nightwing had tolerated enough punishment for today, how ever I think this nightwing is near to be dead,so I say take him to the far northeast where the cannibals can make a quick meal out of him; or the Necrocults if their even still around."Queen YngvoR said with a stern, cruel voice.

Glyph tried to open his eyes to glare at the queen but failed, Glyph felt the darkness overtake him as he was dragged off into the night out of the queen's palace, and out of  Fort Zahara into the northeast where the dreaded cannibals could find him and eat him or the mysterious Necrocults who was said to experiment on the dead corpses of dragons.

Glyph's only shelter was his father's hood that was keeping him from freezing to death.

"Glyph, remember that mommy and daddy loves you, we love you our son and your brother must be brought to justice, now sleep." whispered the haunting calm voice of Nightseer who's ghostly apparition appears before Glyph in his mind as he drifts off into a deep state of rest.
