The Light Queen (Otherworldly Book Two)

Chapter 1

Fawn blinked open her eyes, startled to see nothing but open sky. She jolted upright as water surged around her feet, eyeing her surroundings. There were palm trees scattered across the beach she was on, and a large broken down hotel in the distance. She tried to remember how she had gotten there but she just ran into a wall of fire.

A few feet away from her there was a bundle of wet fur, it didn't move at all, but it definitely looked alien. Moving to stand she screeched in alarm when she felt feathers behind her. Jerking her head around to look over her shoulder she gasped at the two wings coming out of her back.

She certainly did not remember having wings. The last thing she actually remembered was... She frowned as she thought with much difficulty. The last thing She remembered was Caid telling her they had caught a couple draconian's.

Standing Fawn looked back over to the wet heap of fur and felt something stir in recognition inside her, a single name coming to mind. Moving cautiously towards the alien thing she got to her knees and peered closer at it.

It had a bone muzzle with two long fangs on top and shorter ones on bottom. It's gold and black fur dark with water and mud, it had six legs, two front ones and a set of hunches much like any other animal. It's fur tapered off though on it's legs to show thin scaly chicken like arms and toes. It had a long rat like tail with no fur, and then it blinked open six eyes, two sets of black and white and a set of green ones.

She leaned back as it wheezed and gave a pitiful, quiet cry, reaching out to her with it's four front arms weakly. She wrinkled her nose and scooted away, scared it might be trying to attack her. Looking at it though it seemed like hardly a threat, there was also something familiar about it.

Something glittered around it's neck, peering around she noticed what it was. A shining gold and silver collar with a beautiful stone dangling around its neck.

"Your a pet?" She cocked her head to the side and hesitantly reached her hand out to it. It started breathing heavier and chirping pitifully, grabbing onto her hand and just laying there with it.

Fawn's heart melted and she moved closer, tentatively picking the poor thing up and cradling it in her arms. It loved that, snuggling right up to her, drawing her attention to the clothes she didn't remember having.

She had a silver shirt on, though dirty from sand and whatnot, and a pair of black pants.

Why do they look so... Familiar? I've never seen them in my life. Fawn stood, bringing the alien creature with her, shaking the sand out of her newfound wings and opening them wide. Maybe she could fly? Find someplace safe for the time being until she could figure out what was going on?

"Hang in there little guy." She looked back to the little creature in her arms and remembered the name that had whispered across her mind. "Jinxy." She smiled. She moved her wings in uncertainty, testing them before moving them harder, trying to pick herself up of the ground.

She managed to lift off and stay in the air for an unsteady five seconds before she grew tired and gave up.

Ok. So no flying. Glancing towards the crumpled resort looking building she sighed and started walking. Let's go get some answers.

Alduin roared as he burst from the rubble, rage the only thing he could feel besides pain and betrayal. His entire left side was dark, and he couldn't see anything. Swiping at his eyes he pulled away to find blood, dragging himself out of the crumbled remains of his communications tower he looked around.

His relief that his city was still in one piece was short lived, servants and guards alike rushed to him, ushering him and those that survived to medical bay.
