Something Strange Emerging(Cover is a place holder)

Captured and Chained [1]

Awakening to the smell of smoke was nothing out of the ordinary at this point being the only ice dragon back home was or well is odd. The smoke bothers her kind a lot more since most dragons can deal with it being flame based dragons anyway.Blinking herself awake she gazed up seeing the white walls seemed to perk up being as that the light bounces right off of the ceiling like it was the sun but brighter dancing in waves as the shadows of waves danced brought a calming effect. She grunted stretched my claws out and looking around it seemed like the entrance to a castle, trying but all she was met with were chains a collar banded itself around her neck than rounded it was spiked almost bracelets that matched around her front legs and wings they banded together by matching chains that connected to the collar.The chains rounded a corner only slightly blinking,getting low and beginning to stalk closer a low growl erupting from her throat.Peaking around thetr sat a large throne room ’Must be a castle then’ the dragoness thought humming she peaked more the two creatures sat eating from a large container or bucket one was herbs and greens the other filled with meats of all sorts.Just the look made her hungry,She growled seaming to stalk closer getting close to them about to blow a icy breath before she was yanked back with a loud yelp the collar tightening choking slightly she was spun around and pulled close the one horned creature that Elora called ’Ripto’ their staring at me with beaty green/amber eyes. Growling she was Yanked back struggling against the chains only making him yank harder making her own breath hitch.”If you’d behave you wouldn't starve,Do you wanna die from starvation dragon?” his voice was deep, musky, almost, intimidating only when he spoke of food did she realize how hungry she was didn't know how long she was out but it felt long.”How long was I out” she asked in a shaky, rapid breaths he noticed this and a odd expression came to him as he loosened the chains allowing a full reliving breath of air.”48 hours.” was all he said i hissed I'd been out three days stupid magics.Ripto moved dropping the chains and going over to the throne they were attached to, taking a smaller end only about a few inches long and wrapping it around his palm it was long enough to keep the Dragoness behind him but enough to keep her close as well. He yanked it causing me to fling a bit forward and closer to him,growling slightly causing his hands to glow she shrunk, causing him to chuck darkly in response.”Dragon,If you'd just behave like i asked you’d be treated better your MINE now.” his voice full of dark intentions.”I have a damn theviving name you know.” Another yank another gasp of breath to hold.”I’ll call you whatever i want i don't care what your name is.” he'd say sighing thinking a moment he spoke again with a new tone.”Fine tell me it” he said crossing his arms. Breathing as he loosened his grip.”Athena,I'm an Ice Dragon”She mumbled hopefully loud enough that her horse voice wasn’t showing from lack of water. He looked empathetic almost as he pulled a bit to show to follow.Walking with him flicking a half fuzzy tail to the side as he grabbed a small bowl put some water in it. And sat by the side of a window pointing to it motioning for the Dragoness to drink. hesitating 'what if he poisoned it?, But at this point who cared before padding close and leaning her head down and beginning to lap at the water its texture reliving the lump that had built up in her throat. It taste like the springs back home which caused a ping of sadness. Eyes fixed at it, tail swaying side to side happily As she hummed as if purring. Ripto seemed pleased because once done his tug was softer as he removed the bowl replacing it with meat and putting another bowl beside it. The dragoness didn't question the gesture and began to devour the meat tearing it with her claws and  teeth. The sweet juices rolling down her lips and neck eyes seaming to gleam as she ate. Feeling full shed go back to the water lapping at it when she looked up Ripto seemed to be holding a bottle or cup. She'd tilt a curious head at him before he caught her staring. He'd give a half cared eyebrow raise.”What are you looking at” hed ask.”Why'd you kidnap me.” she said staring seriously at him coming to a sitting position. Licking the meat juice from her muzzle he seemed puzzled leaning on the pillar she hadn't eaten in however long it had been in this realm,who knew. Proceeding to grab and eat breaking the flesh from the meat.”Where am i.” she asked after finishing the meal eyes looking up licking her muzzle of the juices left over.

”Summer Forest,The castle to be exact one of Avalar's many home worlds” His gaze never left  her face scrunched up in shock.”You mean to tell me I'm in some other realm the Elders are gonna kill me..” half mumbling the last part earning curious glances from Ripto and the other two .”Elders?” she blinked clearing her throat might as well spill the beans he legit has a chain to choke me so.”You see,That mole dude must of done something to our portal back home to bring us here it's not my fault or Spyro’s i followed him thinking he was in danger..come to find out he's this hero so he doesn't need escorts like i do.”pausing looking at them she obviously caught their interest since ripto was now sitting his clawed hands on his cheek reached out instead of being laid against the pillar.”I um..” feeling embarrassed of being stared at stuttered slightly before skipping over about being a defect who knows what he’d do probably kill her.”Due to the..Era i was hatched in those types were esorted during Gnastyt’s rage he was a dude who went crazy for some reason a bit before i came to be with the Elders,I come from a home world in our realm called the Peace Keepers World hence why i have feathers instead of pure scales.” she wpukd  stop shrugging looking back at them sighing.”That's about it i suppose” Ripto seemed to have his hands on his mouth thinking.”So” he started.”You say there's Other worlds besides Avalar to conquer? Even more than the home worlds here?” Feeling a bit reluctant but knowing what magic he had to knock me out she didn't dare defy or not give him information.”Yes..But all of them have many mini worlds and well Unless your born in that world the inhabitants don't like visitors..heh” she would huff a bit humming to lighten the mood. Eyes full as his expression to pure joy it seamed.”More Worlds to explore and rule i'll be ruling them all in no time with your help.” she stoped and whine slightly a growl escaping her throat.”No, you i wont i’d rather die i care about my home!” she would growl eyes glaring intensely. This didn't please Ripto he only grabbed the chain from his resting spot and pull causing a yip to escape her body.
