Assassin And Queen, Part 1:[]
Glory stared out upon her kingdom, thinking about what to do next. Tsunami is a general, and a schoolteacher, Clay is a teacher, Sunny and Starflight. Everyone has something to do. Setting up for the holidays. But how can I make my difference?
Her thoughts were interrupted by a annoyed hiss from behind her. "This NightWing is making me extremely uncomfortable, Queen Glory." Glory turned around, and saw Prince Hailstorm, who was being sat on by a certain NightWing assassin. "Deathbringer, that is a prince, one I wish to speak to." Deathbringer got up, and gave Glory a grin. "Just doing my job, Your Highness..." He said, with a certain glint in his eyes. Glory let a smile slip onto her face, but shook it off as she faced the IceWing prince.
"Prince Hailstorm, why have you come?" Glory asked. "I come to ask if you have any information on the whereabouts of Prince Winter." Hailstorm said, and a flash of guilt, pain, and so much more flashed in his eyes. "I know he left Jade Mountain Academy, and in search for Queen Scarlet, but I know nothing else." Glory said with an apologetic look. The many feelings that had passed into Hailstorm's eyes before had shot back again with more meaning than before. "It's okay.Thank you your majesty."Hailstorm murmured, bowed deeply, and left.
After a while, Glory got bored and decided to go check on the progress of the nightwing village.As she flew through the canopy of branches and leaves she ran face first into Deathbringer. "Hello, Your Highness!" Deathbringer said with such eagerness that she started to think it wasn't him. "Deathbringer What are you doing here."Glory said with the most puzzled look on her face."Im was just coming back from the nightwing camp to check on you..and I...uh..."he trailed off fiddling with something in is claws. When Glory reached for it Deathbringer hid it quickly behind his back like he was hidding some thing from her."What
Assassin And Queen, Part 2:[]
Deathbringer stared after her, and shook his head. No use. He thought, and ran towards his station. Why can't I tell her how I feel?! He shook his head again. He needed to know how to tell Glory that he loved her. Did she even love her back? He sat down, and thought for a moment. He needed to make it mean something more than just "I love You" He wanted it mean so, so many things more. He just didn't know how.
The sun had passed the middle of the sky by the time Deathbringer finally knew what to do. He just needed to get the right dragons, and the right setting. He flew towards the main RainWing settlement, and peeked into Grandeur's hut. She was asleep. He tapped on her door, just loud enough to wake her up. "Ughh... Who's there?" The former queen yawned. "Deathbringer, and I really need your help. One, Where do you think is the most beautiful place here at sunset? And two, Could you tell Glory that a Kingdom needs a-" Grandeur cut him off, saying "That a Kingdom needs a King?" "Yes, if you could..." Deathbringer mumbled. "Sure." Grandeur said.
Deathbringer paced around, waiting for Glory to come. He knew she came here every day about know to have suntime. He hoped she hadn't changed her schedule. He hid in the brush, and waited. Finally, Glory came. He walked out, and said "Hi, Glory.." A little more nervously than he'd wanted, but still romantic. "What do you want?" She said, and smiled at him. Whoo, this is hard. Now, Deathbringer, Now! "Um.. Would you... want to... watch the sunset with me?" He stammered. "Fine, but only if you don't sit on anyone else." Glory said, and laughed.
Deathbringer sat down next to her, and wrapped one wing around her. She wriggled out, and he stretched out his wing again. She wriggled away again, and he walked over to try it again. Slowly they started playfully chasing each other, and Deathbringer laughed as she escaped again. "You really don't like hugs, do you?" He said breathlessly. They stopped running, and stood there, panting, staring at each other. Deathbringer sat down again, and said "Want to join me?" "Sure.." Glory whispered. She sat down next to him, and he wrapped his wing around her. This time, she didn't wriggle away.
"You know this won't work..." She murmured after a while. "It will. We shape our own destinies." He said. "A queen loving a dragon from another tribe? It won't work. We can't be together." She said, but wistfulness was in her voice. "I don't care. No other queen ever ruled two tribes, either. We can do whatever we want, and our fate is what we choose to do." He said sternly, and before anything else could happen, he kissed Glory. She kissed back. "I love you, Glory." He said. "I love you too." She replied. Finally, I know she loves me back.
THE END
I hope you enjoyed.
