Chapter 1[]
Empress Jaguar stood silently on the ground, next to the fungi and the river covered with rocks and wasted and torn down, broken plants. She was truly beautiful, with a amethyst circlet above her head with a moon sign on it covered and binded together with gold at the end, A long black silk rope that covered up to her knees and shimmering blue and green fluffy hair that faded at the end.
She was seen holding onto a bow stitched together carefully. It looked like it could pull back and throw very far and she had looked like an upperclassmen compared to some of her best warriors.
Surely, they were great at using the bows but they didn't have as much skill as her.
Aimed carefully at her side, ready to pluck and pull back to strike. Her face looked calm but had a seething temper of anger added onto it, in some way.
A small scar laid on Jaguar's cheek. It wasn't a deep one and had been gotten from battle when she had tried to get out of the line of fire against Cottonmouth's army and their pesky attack against her warriors and her. Great. Probably would last a lifetime.
They had to go soon.
Really, really, soon.
Jaguar slowly creeped up to the river. Low tide. great. Her shoes had been dipped into the water once she had slowly entered into the tides that shared the border with the Diamond Empire. Scouts had recently come back to tell them that the empire was stuck in their river border, which was awesome.
The bad part? However. Was that they could come any moment and raid or just show up to the camp or place they had been living in.
Jaguar was just twenty years old, barely a adult and once her father died who had been leading the empire she took over and had started to try to start fleeing to somewhere else.
"Empress Jaguar, my lady, I have to talk to you." A voice stuttered behind her, it was male and it was deep and slithered like a long snake wrapping its fangs and curled tail around your ankles. Jaguar jumped back surprised.
She almost fired her arrow on mistake.
'Sorry, and yes, pardon, I will talk.' The living daylights seemed to be scared out of her throat as she slowly approached into the land. She didn't care that her silk robe and shoes felt soaking wet.
She trialed behind, clank click dink noises followed behind her.
They took her to the scouts and they didn't look happy. Consider that, no scratch that they looked unphased and angry about something. Something horrible had happened, probably was her guess.
'The other two empires are stealing dragons and eggs, few of our scouts and spies managed to creep up and follow Cottonmouth and some of his empire members, and they found out about this.'
The world seemed to be spinning and throwing Jaguar at once.
'Pardon me, may you repeat what you said?'
''The other two empires are stealing dragons and eggs, few of our scouts and spies managed to creep up and follow Cottonmouth and some of his empire members, and they found out about this.' One repeated back.
'Crap. So people are stealing eggs to basically raise dragons, a mythical and creature beast for themselves? Their going to get themselves killed.' Their was flashing red, crimson anger in her eyes but she seemed more disappointed than angry. Dragons were literal creature beasts known for destruction and basically murdering. She had sarcasm in her voice, it was clear.
She couldn't express her emotions or anger right now.
She slowly walked away, giving a nod and bow and small smile to her scouts and chief trying to not alarm or disarm them full of their concerns, Although she had many questions that would never probably get answered, she was wondering about hope;
What would come next in the future? Is all her mind lingered and wondered.
