Ember~ The Wolf Queen of Hell ~ story 1

the dragon king

Sky landed them at Grove away from the Beltane area.

"Here we go again," Jalyissa says as they land in the grove not far from the Beltane area.

Sky nodded, "This way," as she scanned the area for any possible threats.

Gabriel and Ember followed her as she headed to the Grove and placed her hand on an old oak. Jalyissa followed closely with her, sword in the ready.

Sky pointed, "This one." She ducked into the tree and disappeared in front of their eyes. Gabriel ducked in behind her as Jalyissa and Ember followed them both.

"This one will take us right into the castle," Sky walked down through the corridor hidden in the old oak.

Gabriel, "We got any idea how many enemies we're looking at?"

Nilsa, taking the rear guard, followed the tunnel to a door of wood, giving a listen before moving it slowly. She stepped out and straightened her skirt after making sure her knife was still there.

Sky nodded. "Are we ready?"

Gabriel stepped out behind her to her left. Ember changed quickly into her black, wolf form, standing on her other side, ready for Sky's word. Gabriel whispered to Ember. "Don't. Wolves are nothing against dragons."

Sky whispered back, "but she'll be quicker." Sky gave Ember a wickedly grin. Ember nodded back to Sky, knowing the amount of faith Sky had in her. It made her ready to fight even more. Nilsa drew her sword and stood behind Sky. Ember nudged Sky's hand in response with her muzzle. Sky looked down and quickly patted Ember on her soft, black fur to reassure her.

Gabriel gave a shrug, "Okay. But you won't be able to do any damage to them like that."

Sky walked down towards throne room motioning to the others, "this way."

Ember followed quickly behind her.

Sky let out an evil laugh. "Oh, I have an idea for her."

Ember, "If I need to, I'll change back."

Sky gave an order to Ember, "Em, you drop some by the throne. He can't resist sitting on it when I come."

Gabriel looked worriedly at Ember but nodded. Ember tilted her head at Sky, wondering why she needed to be near the throne.

Sky whispered in Ember's ear, "You're black and you'll blend in."

Ember nodded, now fully understanding her plan, "ok."

The guard at the throne room noticed Sky as she appeared from the shadows, "what are you doing alive?"

"Where is my dragon?" She commands.

The guard shook his head and replied simply, "Where he always is at this hour."

Gabriel stepped out next to Sky, brandishing his blade threateningly. Ember snarled as Sky blasted him so as to leave no witnesses. Next, Sky blasted the door to throne room open as they approached it. King Draco is sat on his throne smug and happy. Sky looks at him and nods to Ember. Gabriel smirked as they walk in.

"What the..." Draco stood up as he saw the Faye Queen entering his throne room.

Sky thought to Ember, 'Em now, duck along the shadows, drop and run back.'

Ember quietly slunk near the throne, awaiting Sky's next order. Gabriel resisted the urge to watch Ember and risk drawing attention to her as she made her way to behind Draco's throne.

In a disappointed tone, mocking him, Sky approached slowly, "Oh, not who you were expecting?" she placed her hand over heart and pretended to be hurt.
