I woke up, knowing it's just another boring day in the SkyWing Kingdom. I look around, remembering that I was locked up for a while for 'accidentally' killing a SkyWing guard. At least that's what Queen Scarlet says. Other dragons think I should've been killed at birth along with Peril, because we both have this abnormality. Firescales. I'm always fired up, I can melt and burn things by touch so easily, the SkyWing Queen uses me to forge metals into precious jewellery and trinkets for herself. So, I'm pretty much a blacksmith.

My father taught me how to at the start, and as I learned, he'd correct my mistakes, which was annoying. So I kinda killed him... Of course, on 'accident'. Most SkyWings are naturally grumpy, but others say I have the worst anger issues. And when I'm angry, I tend to get a little violent. Or really violent.

I also have a twin sister, named Fallenflame, who is always by my side. She can't really leave it, because she doesn't have enough fire in her body so she uses the heat on my scales to live. But lately, she's been so weak that she would literally cling to my back while I carried her around. She is so much smaller than me, she should've died a few days after us hatching. But, she's lived for four years, so dragons are actually thinking she'll live. I'm surprised she hasn't melted by my firescales, because other dragons would die by me just touching them. That's how my mother died, too. She tried picking me up, where I melted her scales so quick that she couldn't let go.

My life is so unfair, having to melt metals all day, with a dragon on my back, ALL THE TIME. Then there's Peril on the other hand... She gets to have fun all day by fighting and killing prisoner dragons. Killing prisoner dragons seems a lot better than crafting jewelry for the Queen all day. And now I'm locked up in a prison cell for a while. Just a while though, because Queen Scarlet wants me to get back to being a blacksmith as soon as punishment is done. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait. I know I can just melt my way out, but Queen Scarlet is pretty much my role model, and I would never disobey her. Honestly, I wish she'd just make me her bodyguard or something, since I'm invincible.
