Prologue
(This takes place fifteen years before the rest of the story until Lion is sixteen)
(Blindspear POV)
I flew as fast as I could. I think of Lion on her throne smiling at me. That sweet smile that I never really seem to see anymore. The Air Dragon soldiers are gaining on me. I am going in the direction of the Blade Kingdom, and I am so close to getting over the Blade Wall. So close! I feel talons wrap around my tail. I kick my back legs and flap my third pair of wings in the soldiers face in hope to get away, but more soldiers come and grab my wings and limbs. I try to bite them with my venomous teeth, but they snap a muzzle over my snout “NO NO! LET ME GO!” I try to scream, but the muzzle stops me. I feel something whack me over the head, and everything goes black.
In a cell. Wings bound. Snout wrapped with some bendy metal. I groan as I sit up and take my surroundings in. I am on top of a mountain, about five hundred meters away from the main palace, as far as I can tell from what I can see through the tiny window in my cell. I was there for days and days on end, with the only dragons I saw delivering my food and water. Since I coudn’t eat with the metal on my snout, the dragons came and took the band off. They were wearing some sort of armour, probably so I didn’t bite them.
Two days later, the guards came and grabbed me and took me outside onto some stage. There were lots of dragons staring up at me, like there was about to be some sort of show. The king was at the back on some raised platform. The guards stopped and turned toward the crowd, still holding me. One of the guards stepped forward and puffed out his chest. “We have a Mountain Dragon in our midst. Even better, she is the Mountain Dragon queen’s best friend,” He said. I felt a blade over my throat and realised that there was a show, and I am the star of it. “This is a message to Queen Lion of the Mountain Dragons.” My last thought before the blade slid over my throat was ‘Lion, what have you done.'
