FROM THE SHADOWS

CHAPTER 10: Her Majesty

((Cover needed))

Ifrya wakes up hours before wallace.
He slides himself off the royal bed and let's out a yawn,
He looks at Wallace, whos sleeping like a rock.
And walks off to the library
He sits and reads a few scrolls as the hours pass,
And gets really into a one about 5 dragons saving the world.
He is interrupted by a growl.
He turns to meet with a Ruby guard
"Hello- we heard Wallace of the shadow guid was last spotted around this area. He is a wanted criminal and your Majesty queen ruby demands we search here"
Ifrya growls
"Do as you wish..." Ifrya states in his misty voice
"Thank you sir"
The guard starts searching through the library.
Ifrya stays there. Reading his scroll
She starts sniffing the air. And looks down the flight of stairs to the bedroom.
She slowly walks down there. Sniffing to make sure she's not gonna find just a satyr or something. She can't pick up Wallaces smell all to well due to the arenas bathing areas.
She finally makes it down the stairs and eyes the bed
"He's there-" she walks up and sees wallace, asleep.
She smiles devilishly. She prepares to grab him. Than she is shot by a shoot of fire. She turns to meet Ifrya again
"What are you doing?!  I thought you respected the Queens orders!"
The guard yells
"Respect? Oh no I do- I just don't like how you interrupted my scroll- now I've lost my place, and I'm quite unhappy"
He shoot's another flame at her. Causing her to back away from wallace.
Who was grumbling and mumbling in bed
"Mnnhdhh- keep it down -mmrmg-"
He falls back asleep.
And Ifrya growls at the guard
She lowers her head and hisses. "I'm taking my prisoner- whether you like it or not!" She lashed her spiked tail at Ifrya. He yelps slight. But gets over it fast
"The queen herself would have to rip him from my talons!" Ifrya hisses.
The ruby guard stopped. And a smile crept on her fave again.
She dashed off and up the stairs. And out of the cave.
Ifrya said nothing. He looks at Wallace. Who was now awake, and possibly pissed. He growls slight. "Morning-"
"Morning dear friend- want some food?"
"I'd love some"
"Alrighty-"
Wallace notices the marks on Ifrya, and his torn scales. He dismisses it. But grows semi concerned,
Ifrya slowly walks to the stair case, and outside the cave to get some food.
Wallace follows.
The guard, on the other hand. Finds his way to queen Ruby,
"Your highness- I have some news- good news"

Out stepped a large dragon, covered in gold and jewelry, her horns looking like antlers made of ruby,
And her claws covered in golden armor, her face that of a slender alligator.
This, is Queen Ruby

"What's your report?" She states in a misty tone

"I found Wallace, he's guarded by another dragon- origins unknown. He seemed water based"

"Ah, so why didn't you get Wallace?"

"Oh- oh... Ma'am the dragon says you must gather, or he's not giving him up-"

Ruby sighs "fine- Guard, ready my carriage, I got a criminal to execute-"
