He Adores Me

Chapter 2

Qibli: Qibli sat it the court yard of the Sandwing strong hold, it was close to noon and Qibli knew that he should probably go inside, but he couldn't make himself get up. The warm sun shone down on his wings and back, warming him up all the way through. A light breeze blew through the desert. He was looking at a small lizard unintentionally, it was mostly tan with a few darker brown spots, these lizard were not uncommon in the Sand Kingdom and a lot of dragons saw them as nuisances. The small lizard was sitting on a rock sunning it's self.  All of a sudden it scurried away, Qibli looked up to see Smolder walking quickly into the court yard.

As he got closer to Qibli he noticed the disturbed look on Smolders face, and that Smolder was walking straight towards him.

"What is it" Qibli said, anxious to hear what had happened. Smolder opened and closed his mouth a few times as if not knowing what to say.

"Just...come with me" he said is a serious tone. Qibli followed Smolder in silence until they approached a large wooden door. There were two bored looking guards standing on either side of it. Qibli recognized it as Queen Thorns sleeping quarters.

"What are we doing here?" Qibli asked in confusion. Smolder didn't respond. Just then the door swung open, there standing in the door way was Queen Thorn looking at both of them.

"Smolder, Qibli, what are you two doing here" she asked startled.

"Can we talk somewhere in private" Smolder said.

"Yes" said Thorn skeptically. "Come in here" she said gesturing towards her sleeping quarters. Qibli wasn't sure whether he was allowed to follow or not, but then Smolder looked at Qibli as if expecting him to follow, so Qibli walked in with the two older dragons.

"What happened" Queen Thorn said once they were all inside.

"Well... remember that prisoner that you were interrogating yesterday" said Smolder cautiously. Qibli could guess what he was about to hear next.

"Some guards found him in his prison sell, but he wasn't alive" Smolder said slowly. Qibli didn't know what to think.

"WHAT HAPPENED" Queen Thorn screamed.

"Did somebody kill him" she said in a horrified tone.

"Is there a murderer in my kingdom!" she said.

"If  they hurt any other dragon in my kingdom I will hunt him down and kill  him my self!" She screamed in outrage.

"Calm down!" Smolder said.

"It seems like he stabbed himself in the heart, even if we had found him sooner there is nothing we could have done, the venom went straight into his blood stream and killed him immediately." Smolder said in a grim tone. Qibli was unable to form words, all of his bones were as stiff as lead. How could a dragon kill himself on purpose, with his own tail barb. Killing another dragon was one thing, but killing your self... Qibli couldn't even imagine. Now more than ever he wished Winter were here to tell him that the dragon deserved because he was a criminal and that he did it to himself, but Qibli had no proof that this dragon was actually bad. He wanted to curl up next to Winter and feel his cool scales on his to help him calm down.

 Queen Thorn buried her face in her talons, and Smolder looked at the floor in despair.

After a few moments of silence Qibli finally spoke up "We should put fliers around the kingdom to see if he has any family'

"I think that's a good idea, Qibli" Thorn said

"I am sorry you had to hear this" she said as she wrapper her wings around him.
