Wings of Fire:Short Stories

Winglets:Vengeance

Diamond looked at her map once more,staring at that horrible little red dot on the map.That stupid Nightwing must have tricked him to make sure my magic does not work on him!She had spent years trying to make Foeslayer come to her.She looked around the room she was in,cluttered with animus touched objects abandoned over the years.The map pinned on the wall had clawmarks on the Nightwing Kingdom,trying to express her annoyance.On her desk,she had a fresh scroll laid in front of her,describing all the animus objects she made over the years since Arctic left.She had been gazing blankly at the "The Antler of Betryal," which if it had stupidly worked,would have flown to Foeslayer and transform into Artic and would have killed her.She shoved "The Hourglass of War" and "The Just Die Already" off her desk in frustration."WHY WON'T SHE JUST DIE ALREADY?"Diamond yelled loudly as she clawed the mouth off the wall,ripping it into shreads.After she destroyed the map,an Icewing walked in,a worried expression on his face."Queen Diamond,are you alright?"He asked,looking at the mess in her "Study Room"."WHY WON'T ANYTHING WORK?"Diamond hissed as she breathed my frostbreath all over the other useless items on the desk."Your Majesty,please calm down!"The Icewing said as he rushed over.Diamond turned around,glaring at the worried servant."I WON'T STOP UNTIL THAT LITTLE VERMIN IS DEAD!"I hissed at him,grabbing a random item from a box which contained random objects waiting for enchantment."I ENCHANT THIS SWORD TO KILL THIS STUPID DRAGON!"I yelled crazily as the Icewing stared in shock.The silver,polished sword flew over to the shiny,white Icewing and stabbed him in the heart.Blood flew everywhere as the Icewing collapsed onto the floor,blood pouring out of him.I laughed crazily as the sword dropped suddenly beside the dead body.I walked casually back to the desk like nothing happened and stared at the list of enchantments on the scroll.I stared at the one single sentence written wildly on the bottom of the page.I smiled at the words.It read,"Diamond,your crazy".

A few days had gone by since the murder,but Diamond enchanted something to hide the body,so everything was alright.Diamond looked at the map,now enchanted to look new.Diamond stared at that red dot,flashes of blood and claws crossing her mind.One day,Arctic will leave her and come home.One day,Arctic will love me again and she will be dead.I smiled at these thoughts.A book beside her opened suddenly and yelled in Diamond's voice,'ARCTIC'S SPELL ON FOESLAYER IS GONE,KILL HER ALREADY!".Diamond stared in shock.She looked at the map.The red dot was moving.Moving towards her Kingdom.Diamond flew out of her room,yelling down the hallways,"THE STUPID NIGHTWING IS COMING!".Diamond happily flew to the throne room with Princess Snowfox sitting on the throne regally.Snowfox stared surprisely at her as she landed in front of her,smiling happily."SHE'S COMING NOW!"I yelled happily as I hugged her.She hissed at me."Mother,you've messed up my circles!"She hissed as she readjusted her First Circle necklace around her neck."I'm so exicted,what are we going to do for the execution?"I chatted to her happily since about three years."Wait,who's coming?"She asked,glaring at me with her dark blue eyes."Foeslayer of course!"I told her."I know what to do,we can have the whole tribe gather around a stage and I can have a spear stab her until she bleeds to death!"Diamond told her happily.Diamond started flying towards the exit to the palace,calling to her,"Tell everyone to gather beside the sea where Arctic's castle was!".Diamond flew onto into the fresh,blue sky which I had not seen in about 5 years.Diamond  landed on some flat land near the freezing cold ocean.This is where the stage could go.Diamond picked up a small piece of snow in my talons."I enchant this piece of snow to turn into a giant frozen stage which even I say Foeslayer,every Icewing will come to the stage,"Diamond said,smiling.Diamond flew back to admire the growing stage.The piece of snow started forming into a giant stage made of freshly cut ice.The shiny ice had carvings of diamonds and battles of the Nightwings having their heads cut off by Icewings.Now,all Diamond had to think of a better way to kill Foeslayer.

Diamond stared at her "List of Animus objects to kill Foeslayer," scroll.She had borrowed some scrolls from the libraries,much to the surprise of the public that their strange missing queen just appeared.I need to think of a way to kill Foeslayer that everyone will remember,but I want to make the enchantment useful to the tribe.She looked at "The Royal History of  Animus Icewings".She looked at the map again,the little red dot was near border of the Sandwing Kingdom.In about a day,Foeslayer should be in the Icewing Kingdom.She remembered all those years ago when she enchanted a sculpture of herself that Foeslayer would fly to and stay.Of course,the enchantment was useless until now.She thought about maybe putting Foeslayer in a prision.I want her to die not to live.Diamond imagined killing her multiple times but she knew Animus dragons could not bring dragons back from the dead.Wait,what about a prision that keeps her alive.No,the public might think I 'm just doing it for revenge and also I would be breaking the rules.At least the public don't know about the thousands of Animus objects in here.Diamond finally though of it,a pair of shackles that would encase Foeslayer in ice and not allow her to age but when a spear touched her,she would come alive and when she killed her,she would be encased in ice again.She smiled at her amazing idea.But,It would be better if I did it when everyone was watching.She wrote her amazing idea on the scroll quickly,making sure she did not forget it.I'll call it,"The Gift of Vengeance".

She sat on the frozen stage,smiling as a black dot flew towards her.Finally,the revolting vermin is here.Since the last day,she added a few ideas to her amazing enchantment.The new,improved enchantment would be kept in a cave and would be used in the tribe when a dragon reached the bottom of the Circles and could challenge the highest ranking dragon and they would battle Foeslayer.If one was killed,the dragon who lived would gain the highest rank.Foeslayer's black scales shone in the shining sun as she landed on the stage."Foeslayer,"Diamond smiled,staring at her blank dark green eyes.Icewings flew below the stage in all directions,staring confusedly at Diamond.Finally,after all these years,she's finally here."Foeslayer,thank you so much for coming,"Diamond smiled sadistically while Foeslayer stared at me,horrified.She looked at a Icewing in the crowd with a silver necklace."I enchant this necklace to  fly over to Foeslayer and put itself on her neck and she will not be able to move,"She said smiling.Foeslayer turned around,trying to fly away but the necklace was too quick and placed itself on her.The crowd looked at her surprised."The Queen has disobeyed the law!"A young shiny,white Icewing yelled out."Our Queen is insane!" Another shouted while another protested,"She's betrayed us!".Stupid dragons,they don't understand."Everyone in front of you is the dragon who stole our prince and power!"Diamond yelled,loud enough for every Icewing to hear."She stole Prince Arctic for his animus magic for the Nightwings to use!"Diamond yelled as Foeslayer stood frozen,facing the angry crowd."Now,she must pay for stealing my son!"She spat at her,breathing my frostbreath on her.Half of her pretty face was covered in frostbreath,which Diamond  laughed crazily at her."Now,everyone she shall pay!"She yelled at the crowd,most of them still angry about me using her magic for the second time.Diamond looked at a piece of snow on the stage beside her."I enchant this snow to turn into shackles and make everyone watching unable to move!"She laughed as the crowd protested.Now,they can't stop me!Your all mine,Foeslayer.The snow quickly turned into a pair of metal,heavly shackles."Now,I enchant those pair of shackles to force themselves onto Foeslayer's front legs!"Diamond  commanded them like an army as the shackles listened without a second thought.Diamond  smiled crazily as she kept seeing flashes of the horrible Nightwing being killed."Diamond enchant those shackles to turn Foeslayer into ice and she will not age!"She roared as Foeslayer turned into a statue of ice with a roar of protest from the audience."She's gone insane!" and "She's betrayed the whole tribe!" was heard,but Diamond did not care.She stared at the shackles once more."I finally enchant those shackles that whenever a spear touches it,she will come to life and when she is killed,she will experience the most pain that any dragon can feel and turn back into ice!"Diamond shouted.Time to die,Foeslayer.Diamond  looked at a dragon in the crowd,a small,feeble baby Icewing with shocking blue eyes."I enchant that dragon to turn into a spear and fly towards me and kill Foeslayer!"Diamond laughed as the dragons roared in anger and fear."She's gone insane!"Snowfox yelled in the backround.Of course,I'm insane,who would not be after you've enchanted 500 things?The shiny,deadly-looking spear poked the ice and Foeslayer roared into life."You monster!"Foeslayer yelled as the spear stabbed her in the leg,blood dripping everywhere.Foeslayer ran towards her,teeth showing."Arctic left you because he loved me!"She protested as I clawed her face."Oops,"Diamond smiled madly as I flew out of her way.The spear stabbed her in the heart as she collapsed to the floor,screaming in pain.I don't care what the public will think,She's mine now.Now the only thing left to do is that Arctic will come back with that hybrid...
