Eagle's PoV

"It was a great day to be a Skywing" exclaimed  King Eagle to the patrol behind him. The sun was high up and shone brightly on the mountains around the patrol. The wind was cool and refreshing. 

"It feels so good to be out of that slaughter farm of a palace and to be flying in the skies" thought Eagle. 

He had never like his queen. To him, she was too cruel and psychopathic. Although he cared deeply for his children, especially Tourmaline/ Ruby. He planned on getting her far away from Scarlet. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a very eerie, yet alluring song that came from the forest below.

" Sir, What should we do?" questioned one of the patrol; peregrine. 

" We should investigate and give whatever we find to the Queen" suggested another SkyWing.

"Agree" Replied Eagle, before diving into the dense forest below. 

The rest of the patrol eagerly dived after their leader. Once they reached the canopy, Eagle spotted what looked an Icewing that was being chased by a Skywing. He quickly signal the patrol to silently flow that two dragons. They chased the two till the Icewing ran into a large cavern.  The Skywing followed suit. When the Skywing disappeared from view, Eagle realised that  noise was being emitted from the cave and yelled " Let's go inside the cave and assist that Skywing". 

They quickly jumped down the maze of branches and stood at the entrance to the cave. 

" Let's go inside" ordered Eagle. 

He had to admit that he had wanted to run into cave, so that he can hear that lovely song better. But he wanted to behave properly infront of his soldiers, so walked inside first. The others soon followed behind him. The cave was dark, gloomy and quite stuffy and when Eagle tried to light a torch, it glowed dimly. As they walked through the cave, the stench of guano became unbearable and the cramp space had made him anxious and uneasy. Then, he knocked on something and looked down only to find a dragon skull. 

He picked up the skull and examined it. Skywing. He showed the skull to the rest of the patrol and they quickly brought out their weapons, as it became obvious that whatever that had lived here ate Skywings.

They ventured further into the cave and met a frightful site. A pile of dragon bones with a large, strange-looking  and chained dragon sat on top of it. The dragon's chains were slivers and golds in colour and covered its entire body, except for the limbs of it.  The dragon was singing was the song, but stopped once it saw the dragons before it. It hopped down and stared at the Skywings. Bioluminescent scales that resemble that of a seawing lit up as it studied them, tilting its head side to side.

Eagle could now see the details on the dragon; it had a 3 fingers on each wing that formed a sort of hand, a scorpion-like stinger, a triangular skull and weird fuzz-like material on its body. As well as having oddly curved front claws and razor sharp fangs.

The creature began to laugh a manic, deep and terrifying laugh. As it laughed its head off, the cave began to vibrate and eyes began to suddenly materialise from the cave walls. The bone pile also began to stir and a chill wind suddenly blew out the torch. 

"How can Pyrrhian Dragons be so stupid" exclaimed the dragon," The name is Amber Eye though it won't do you any good now" 

Eagle froze on the spot as Amber Eye began to flicker his scales on and off.  Eagle saw in between the flashes of light, horrifying dragons rise for the pile of bones and peel off the walls of the cave and began to vicious slaughter and feast his patrol right infront of his eyes. He saw a dragon's skull being torn open, dragons suffocating in an amber-like substance, some being ripped apart and much worse.

Eagle quickly sprinted, shooting bursts of flame at the creature that seem to do little. He ran for what felt like eternity, not daring to look back at the horror and wails of despair and pain, when he saw the cave entrance he leaped out.

But, Eagle felt a tug on his tail and he collapsed onto the group.

" Where are you going to now, Little Supper? Honestly, you should have looked before you leap" a voice came from behind.

"Amber Eyes" Eagle thought ruefully as memories of his children and soldiers that had just died before him flash before his eyes as he was dragged back into the darkness. Then, felt a sharp tingling sensation at the base of  his skull and heard a loud, satisfying CRACK and darkness enveloped him.

Amber-Eyes POV

"Job well done, Amber" applauded a figure in the darkness, " Keep that head fresh, though, I have a feeling that we will need it."

"Sir, yes, sir" chirped Amber Eyes

"Oh come on brother, no need for the whole 'Sir' thing, now" protested the figure.

"Well, you are the king, Victory" agreed Amber-Eye.

" Fine, but remember to preserve that head now" reminded the figure.

"Okay, goodnight brother" replied Amber-Eye before leaving. He never understood why his brother took all of this, so serious after all, he was all the luxury and power, yet he is just so... serious. 

Amber-Eye placed the head on a pedestal and shot a blob of amberine at the head of the deceased skywing king. He then jumped onto the nest of feathers and rocks that he called his bed and allowed the darkness to consume him.
