Chapter 16 Arena

Scorpion jumped when Sightless jolted from his sleep. His wing hit the side of the cage, making the cages, and chains all around them shake. The dragons shoot threatening glares at them. An older Lightwing, with no eye, yelled. "Hey! Watch it you two!" Sightless hissed, glaring at the dragons around them. Scorpion off course kept her gaze down. Not wanting to meet their angered gazes. A Swiftwing opened the cage, Sightless glared, but Scorpion didn't dare look at its eyes.

"You, Sandwing. Get out," he commanded. "Follow me, and keep up," Scorpion followed, only perking up her eyes to make sure she was following the Swiftwing. They were nearing a house-like doom. It's balcony stretched over the arena, but just a little, not too much to disturb anyone. Behind the house, a hole was diggen. They walked down it. It led under the house, and to some bars. The bars guarded the arena like hawks. If she was in there, she wasn't getting out throw there. Other tunnels reached underground around the arena. She couldn't help but not admire how it was distributed. Bars slammed behind her, making her jump. She hadn't realized that there were bars above her, that blocked out the exit. Which did make sense tho. The other tunnels were guarded by Flamewings. S Stormwing nudged her to move forward. She walked to the right tunnel.

The guard glanced at them, then nodded. Letting them move by. She walked throw. She saw a line of dragon. She flicked her tail, there was one of each breed. The only one missing was a Radioactivewing. Even a Spacewing was in there. She walked up to the line and sat down. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw what they were all looking at. It was queen Bolt. She flicked her tail, then the dragons walked in different directions around the small room. She guessed whatever they had been doing, had just finished. She had been the dragon who had not wanted to kill us. She thought. She was about to walk up to her, but she started towards a hallway and disappeared in the dim light. If it wasn't for the soldier, she would of ran straight after her. A Skywing suddenly walked up to a Mudwing, and a Nightwing, he said something, and they followed down a hallway.

"Hi!" Scorpion jumped. "O-oh! Umm, hi!" Scorpion stamerd. She looked at her side to see a Silkwing. She looked a year, or two older than her. She was mixed in beautiful purples, and violets. Marigold swirls were hinted across her scales, in which matched her eyes. "You're new!" She chanted. "I'm Violet, and your?" "I'm Scorpion..." She answered. She chuckled. "Nice to meet you!" "Y-you too....." "Your love it here, it's amazing!" She exclaimed. She's a Silkwing...does she fight? She wondered.

"Guess what?!" "Hmmm?...." "I heard were all going to fight a queen today! She just wants to get rid of the Nightwing, and Mudwing!" Violet exclaimed. "Oh, umm...I'm excited for that!" Scorpion replied in the best excited-like tone she could. Suddenly, a roar sounded across the clearing. "It's starting!!!" Violet yelled as she darted to the bars to watch. Scorpion ran after her, wanting to see what's going on.

"Hello, fellow dragons!" It came from above her. "Today, I have many exciting things in store! But first, we have a quick battle, to get your hearts pumped!" The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't identify it. "First, we have Coal of the Nightwings! Allied with, Swan of the Mudwings!" Two dragons walked out. They looked around nervously. Their ribs shown throw their scales, they looked half starved. "And, Vrs-ing them, we have our one and only, Dune!!!" Scorpion nearly fell to the ground when so-called Dune emerged.

He was a Snakewing....Like in the legends that Harry used to tell them as dragonets. His body looked like ones of a snake, long, round, and thin. His tail dragged far behind him, they were told to have the longest tails in all of Pyrrhia. He had cobra-like fins on the side of his neck. His eyes gleamed, like a snake's. His tongue flickered in and out. His long, sharp talons scraped the dust. His wings stayed level with him, spread out just over him, like an umbrella, but with sharp, glistening spikes. When he stopped and glared at them, the dragons looked as if they were going to fly to the moons and back in fear. It was horrifying for Scorpion to just watch. How long had they known Snakewings weren't just stories to scar dragonets.

"Three. Two. One...Charge!"
