A dragon walked into the open. This dragon's name was Red. It was 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 that there were hounds fighting behind her, but we'll get to that later. Anyway, Red had been named for her pastel red scales. She was not keen about this. Being named for your colour is not considered ethically correct. Red's parents were most certainly not that. The old dragon's parents would have turned in their graves if they knew what their daughter was to do. She was about to do something not thought to be possible. She was about to bring equality to the 4th city.
One of the red eyed dogs behind the Draconic stopped brawling. The sun was setting, time was running out. He plucked up the courage to speak, "Red, we're outnumbered ten to four! We need to draw back NOW! Try again next year, and don't get us all killed." The pastel dragon turned her head round to face the hound. She gave him a look of sheer disappointment. This could not wait."The spirits shall come, Ai, just you wait. Honestly, you're meant to be an intelligent leader." The dragon rolled her mud brown eyes sarcastically. Ai never struck her as worthy of his name. Es seemed a better fit. Or Oh, Haich, Bee, and basically any other of the red eyed dogs. But he was a good fighter, and outstandingly loyal to her and his hirers. That was when she heard the spirits...
They were much smaller than a living dragon, yet much more intimidating than one as well. A single spirit stook out to Red. This one was the same colour as her, yet more royal. "You seek equality in your home city, am I correct?" The pastel dragon asked, it's voice aloof and emotionless. Red nodded. The spirit continued, "Then I can't help you fully, no one can. All I can say is that you have already heard. Fight for what you believe is right, for how else can you change things?"Ⓗⓞⓦ ⓔⓛⓢⓔ ⓒⓐⓝ ⓨⓞⓤ ⓒⓗⓐⓝⓖⓔ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓦⓞⓡⓛⓓ ?⃝
