FROM THE SHADOWS

CHAPTER 2: free

The wind blew throw Wallaces scales, almost making a whistle sound, he was free.
He flew past a few other prisoners. Who hissed and spat at him, clearly mad he was out. And they were in.
He chuckles slight. Lucy waves "bye everyone!!!"
More dragons hiss. Lucy smiles, looking into the water of the near by ocean. She than sighs "can't wait to get back home! What about you?"
Wallace shook his head "we have to move. We're in the queens territory. She'll catch us in a bat of an eye if we stay here"
Lucys smile faded for the first time in front of Wallace "well, can we say bye?"
"Afraid not sunshine. Takes to much time. "
She looks down and nods. Still starring into the water. It was silent for most of the journey.
It seemed hours that Wallace was flying, his wings started to grow tired. He found a resting stop. A new island. He lies down, the warm rock burning, but somewhat soothing. On the other hand Lucy was horrified "W-Wallace this is an active volcano-"
"And? Its not to bad right now. Even I, an ice based, find this enjoyable" he yawns. Lucy starts to shake. She eventually finds peace and relaxes. They both sleep.
It was noon by the time they woke, Wallace got up, feeling better than before Lucy, still asleep in his skull. He spread his wings and took off, Lucy woke with a start "HUH WHAT-?! oh-" she sighed. And looks out "sure is pretty!" Wallace nods, for hours they fly. Until Wallace spots something, another kingdom. More dragons. He almost yelps with joy as he dives onto the marble road, looking at all the gem shops, and the castle. Made purely of sapphire.
Lucy jumped out his skull and stretches her legs out "wow! This is beautiful!"
"Prettier than ruby's trash caves." Wallace said with a flick of his tail.
Lucy looks at all the shops "wow- if only we had enough gems-"
Than it came to Wallace, they should in fact meet with the queen or king.
Most of the guilds kings and queens hated each other. So they'd never get turned into ruby.
He begins to walk towards the castle. Ruby following.
The townspeople were the most dazzling of dragons. One was a pure ice one, his scales glistening in the sun. Others were Quetzalcoatl's, and even faes. It was a paradise
"So, where we going?"
"The king or queen"
"Why?"
"So we could maybe be considered a citizen, not a visitor. And tell them of our deal with ruby-"
"Aaahh- sound fair enough"
Lucy than stops, someone of the ocean guild was here. Like a koi dragon of some sort. Lucy wanted to say hi, but Wallace stops her to continue to castle.
When they arrive, its truley a stunning sight to see. Everything sparkles from the outside, Wallace gives the door a few knocks.
And its answered. By a Pegasus
