Chapter 14
As the morning soon rose in to the sky, Iceberg could see SkyWing guards coming out a cavern and heading over to Stargazer, Foeseer and Iceberg.
Iceberg lashed her tail, hissing.
The SkyWings grumbled. "Geez, do you want to see your friends or not?!"
"Do you want your face clawed off or not?!" Iceberg shot back.
It took about four SkyWing to yank her off her pillar. They flew into the royal hallway, as they past a few rooms. There was a sign on the right that said Sunset's room.
Iceberg was thrown in to the throne room, then whipping around and running for the door, only for it to get slammed in her face. She turned around and saw that she was under a red rug and in front of her was the throne. The Queen was seated on top of a rock column carved in the shape of clouds, staring down at the dragons on the floor below her.
She could see Stargazer bowing, her eyes starring at the rug. She seemed to flinch a bit from the slam of the door, but didn't move from her bowing position.
Iceberg did not bow nor sit, just snarled and paced.
Queen Comet hissed, "Do you know it's rude to come in and pace in front of your Queen? BOW."
"You're not my queen!" Iceberg snapped back at the Queen.
Stargazer looked over to Iceberg and kept bowing.
Soon, the same SkyWing that had grabbed Foeseer last night had came in the throne room and bowed.
Iceberg remembered Sunset said their name was Screech Owl. "I need to switch places with Tornado." The SkyWing said.
Next to the throne, a red and orange SkyWing looked at Screech Owl and a spark of interest glittered in her eyes.
Queen Comet nodded. "Yes, you may."
Screech Owl took her place and watched the Dragonets carefully.
A while later, seven SkyWing guards burst into the door, then quickly slamming it shut, they were covered in claw and bite marks. They then threw Foeseer at the Queen.
The guards groaned in pain, then bowed their heads. "Sorry, your majesty we're late. This one is... more aggressive than the others."
Iceberg refused to bow still.
Foeseer stood up, and hissed at the Queen. "This is an outrage! How dare you treat us like this?! Do you even know who we are?! We're the-!"
Comet rolled her eyes. "Wings of Destiny, blah blah blah blah. Yeah, I know. Not everyone likes wars ending. Though, I do like watching them instead of experiencing them."
Iceberg growled at the queen. "How could you say that?! Wars are terrible!" She shouted, getting a bit too close.
Queen Comet snorted. "Wars are useful.. We are dragons, we fight all the time.. For example, you tried to kill me when you barley knew me.. Wars solve problems. It keeps me away from having any challengers, another example."
"I was trying to protect my friends!" Iceberg snarled.
Comet raised an eyebrow. "Uh huh... and how is taking back my treasure attacking your friends?"
"You were threatening us!" Iceberg shouted.
Queen Comet looked annoyed. "Enough! Listen, I have a hatching day in a few days and I want you all to be terrifying. But I promised my subjects today's arena would be exciting. Let's say if you could beat a... Let's say... A SandWing perhaps? So, is the purple NightWing up to it?"
"W-what!?" Stargazer's head shot up in panic.
"Don't put Stargazer up!" Iceberg yelped suddenly. "Put me up! I'll be interesting!" At same time, Foeseer insisted too. "No, me!"
Foeseer looked at Iceberg. "Your delusional, I'm the strongest out of all of us!"
Comet rolled her eyes. "That's really cute, you know. But really?"
"I have sharper claws than you!" Iceberg said back, then holding up her serrated claws.
Foeseer gasped, "SHARPER CLAWS?! How dare you! You know, I am the strongest! I beat you in battle training all the time!"
Comet smirked. "Alright!"
She pointed to Foeseer and Stargazer. "Guards! Take those two back to their pillars!"
She then pointed to Iceberg. "While this one... Prepare her for the arena."
