FROM THE SHADOWS

CHAPTER 1: caged away

The caves were dark, dimily lit by the sky. Wallace lies in his cage, chewing a bone from his latest feast, he was a big black dragon, with a large skull on his head. His wings were torn, but to a point he could still fly.
He throws the bone down. And stands up. Staring into the bars. He hated even looking at the crystal guards. It made him furious.
He shook his head and paced
"How am I gonna get passed those guards-?" He pondered. He sighs deeply and lays back down. Tail slamming on the ground.
Other dragons were talking about things, such as escape. the most noticeable was a large ice dragon. Her voice was booming. It even seemed to startle the guards
Wallace smiles, seeing that "what an idiot" he thinks to himself. As he curls up, chewing his bone again.
And falling asleep.
The next morning the guards were not present. Not even the main one, Wallace smiles at this, no guards. No rules.
He got up and hapilly yawned, stretching his wings, and popping some joints while doing so.
He paces his cage, brain now sparking with ideas on how to escape
He smiles slight as he thinks of pick locking, no no to easy
Breaking stone bars?
Impossible.
He kept thinking, and thinking.
Until someone interrupted it
"Ello!" She said in a happy tone. He turned to face a small pink, axolotl looking dragon, flower in her horns, she waved, smiling a toothy grin
"What do you want?" He huffed. Only assuming she's friends with queen ruby "well I just wanted to say HI!"
"yeah, hi. Go away" Wallace barked at her, she tilts her head, fins flopping adorably "for why?"
"I'm trying to think,"
"About?"
"Leaving this place..."
"Oh! That's easy!"
Wallace looks back over to her, giving her a skeptical look "oh really?"
"Yes really! The rocks are quite easy to break if you find the weak point!" She smiles
"I've tried that sunshine now why don't you go prance around or something"
Just than he hear a CRUSH
The dragon had caused one of the bars to crumble, he stares in shock. "There ya go! Freedom!" She skips off, humming a tone that sounded like the A B Cs he climbed out, and quickly flocked to a wall, blending in like a leaf bug, his complexion makes him hard to see in the rock. He scurried away from the cages, and past some guards, to the entrance. It was beautiful, the sky shimmering many shades of purple and blue. Almost like he was in space himself, "no time to stargaze" he whispers, as he sneaks out the cave like a slithering snake. And hid in the mud. Something than tugged at his leg, he screamed in fear, the pink dragon popped up "oh by the way, I never formally introduced my self! Lucy! Lucy of the ocean guild!" She smiles wide, she was covered in mud. So she looked like a swamp monster, with her big buglike eyes
"W-Wallace... Of the - uh. Shadow guild"
Lucy gasps "Woah! That's cool! I've never met a shadow guild guy!"
"And I've never met someone more annoying"
Lucy laughs "your funny! Say, why don't we escape together?" She smiles
Wallace shakes his head "no no no no NO! Im a lone wolf! Solo, just ME, not some annoying pink thing. Adios!" He spread his wings and took off, Lucy on the other hand. Grabbed his tail, and climbed up, causing Wallace to lose balance. "WHAT DID I JUST- I-... Ugh fine" he gave up and allowed Lucy to stay with him, and with that they were off. To a new world beyond the cage.
