Vacation is over

*Time skip one week*

For around one week I have been laying around the rainforest observing the Raianwings and playing a few pranks on them its pretty exhilarating and funny to see the poor things so confused and startled, I also did some training/playing with some of my abilities while eating mangos and papayas. This past week was pretty relaxed but my urge to have a real fun and bloody fight is as high as ever so right now I'm flying through the sky overlooking the land and marshes below me, currently I'm flying through the mud kingdom and from what little bit of information I remember there should be a pretty nice fighting arena

in the sky kingdom so I ate the memories of birds a few birds make sure I'm going in the right direction and continued to fly to my destination with the sun rising behind me. Looking down I see that the terrain is slowly starting to get dryer and more rocky and looking ahead I can see large towering mountains as well as what should be the Skywings palace, a structure made of rock consisting of multiple towers, pillars, and spires that some of which are guard towers surrounding the castle, and getting closer I can see a large arena constructed of smooth stone with a dirt stage in the middle surrounded by large smooth steps which dragons are perching themselves on, The arena is attached to the palace surrounded by tall round pillars which have chains connecting them and the dragons placed on top of them. I change my size to be larger, a little bit larger than the adult skywings that I observed, I noticed that the majority of Skywings were fairly strong not nearly as weak as the Rainwings, and their moral alignments are very grey or some dark, very different the Rainwings I was stalking all the Rainwings were healthy and radiated brightness in my perceptions some dimmer then the others but none like the Skywings but I get out of my thoughts and fly towards what looks like the throne room perching at the edge of the skylight a gaping hole in the middle of the roof which is in the shape of a diamond, I concluded that it was the throne room by the scarlet red Skywing I recognize as Queen Scarlet whom I seen through the windows sitting on the throne with a cold and regal bearing, her scales are embedded with Jewls and looking at her aura I can tell she is quite the cruel one, aswell as the guards standing with a straight and tense posture decorated in shining silver armour outlined in gold and who can miss the sheer amount of sparkling gold and precious jewls that are embedded into the dark stone walls, there is a lot more gold than wall and the sight of the gold which perfectly matches the color of my claw makes my talons itch and tingle, the theif in me and a primitive desire is telling me that I want that gold, as if I didn't know that myslef. I hold back my urges and fly through the skylight silently landing directly in from of the queen and the two guards sitting by the side. They look quite spooked by my entrance seeing that the Muscular and large Skywings covered in shining armour are now brandishing there spears surrounding me by all sides but for some stupid reason forgetting to blocking the skylight, their aura showing for agitation and surprise, the two in front of the queen got into a fighting stance ready to use their body as shields for their queen. With my guard up and my body tense ready to fly out the skylight with a moments notice a introduced myself- "Hello, my name is Notcurn a Nightwing hybrid" after saying that I gave a small bow.

I decided only to use my last name for now for the sake of fitting in. After introducing myself I can feel Scarlets greed and insanity through her aura and I soon hear Queen Scarlet speak- "Hello, Nocturn I'm Queen Scarlet of the Skywings, What are you doing in my Kingdom and most importantly my throne room? And why should I not execute you and stuff your corpse? I would be very thrilled to have such a wonderful trophy in my possession", "Well miss Queen Scarlet" I said slowly and teasingly with a smirk on my face giving the guards the impulse to impale me with their large spears judging by their angry face expression and twitching muscles,

"I wouldn't have shown myself you were capable of executing me and I came to inform you I would love to take place in your lovely fighting arena down there" while saying this I could clearly see my feral and bloodthirsty smile reflecting off the gold embedded on the wall. "

While Queen Scarlet's body language and face express suggests she's shocked from her aura I can tell she's planning something and is not as shocked as she's portraying, but interrupting her scheming I continue talking- "Come on Scarlet, I'm basically providing free intertainment for your citizens, I'll make sure to make it very intertaining~ Imagine three dragons against one? doesn't that sound exciting?",

Hearing what I said Scarlet ponders over my request and says- "Okay I'll let you fight in my arena, but only if you answer some questions, The Nightwings been hiding for years so why did one show up in front of me?" Hearing that I quickly come up with an excuse-

"When I hatched I found myself in the rainforest with nobody to take care of me, I found out the name of my tribe from the mouths of others, by the way Queen Scarlet the rainforest is really a charming place"

After saying that I can feel that Queen Scarlet is very disappointed but still holds same greed and suspicion towards me. Despite Queen Scarlet inding the answer to her question dissatisfactory she still says- "Okay you may fight in my arena but, I have no area for you to stay so you have to stay with the prisoners" She was Tilting her wings while saying that I realize that it is a gesture of disdain and from her aura I can tell that she is being dishonest so I just stop pretending to be respectful to the insane queen- "I don't care about the area of my residence but I will retaliate if you so much as think of putting me in chains"

saying those with words a little bit of bloodlust I watch as one of the Queens guards lunges towards me brandishing his spear angry that I used such an attitude against the Queen in retaliation I only blew out single wisp of a concentrated blue flame and watch in amusement when the guards silver spear briefly resembles a cooked noodle before falling on the ground into a puddle of molten silver charing the stone beneath it and the guards hilarious look of confusion, and horror looking back and forth between the puddle of silver and the scales on his hands which were partially charred and glowing from the heat, seeing that they now took his threat seriously I followed an orange and red Skywing to the pillar I will be sleeping on. Looking around I can see a lot of poorly treated prisoners consisting mainly of SeaWings, IceWings, and sandwings that were chained up and sitting on their pillars which are placed in a circular formation surrounded the arena. the chains connect all the dragons together and lead to the center in one concentrated spot, the placement of the pillars gives me and the others a nice view of the arena and the smooth and cool surface is quite comfortable so I sit there comfortly, I retract my talons and rest my head on my hands and sprawl my body out watching the battles to the death below waiting for my turn.
