Only The Beginning..
I'd be trudging down the shoreline, the smell of salty water and the sound of waves crashing against the shore always calmed me down. I'd be thinking deeply of how those prison guards who'd let me go so easily. I think they were helping me escape the wrath of Scarlet. I heard something disturb the grass behind me and I whirl around to face the person who was trying to sneak on me.
"Who are you?" I'd ask, anger resonating in my voice.
"Is that any of your concern?" The dragon asked hissing back.
"It is if you're trying to sneak on me so i'll ask again, who are you?" I asked again, fueling more anger into my voice.
"I'm Peril" The copper colored dragoness told me. "Who are you?" she asked me, anger showed in her strangely colored eyes.
"I'm Deathtouch, nice to meet you Peril" I answered extending my talon out to shake hers, she yanked her talon as mine closed the distance.
"Don't touch me!" she yelled with fear resonating in her voice.
"I'm only trying to shake your hand.. what could be so bad about that?" I asked, hearing the fear in her voice.
why is she so scared of me trying to shake her hand? I ask myself in my mind
"You'll burn yourself dumb dumb" she said mocking my idiocy, I finally remembered her from the arena battle, where the guards forcefully drug me into that hellhole of an arena..
"Ah.. right, I remember you, from the arena battle, where the guards had dragged me in against my will right?" I asked trying to confirm if it were the real Peril, I also finally noticed the scorched path of talons in the sand, and the smoke curling off her scales.
"Yes, I remember, you were forced against your will, I scratched your back, and you had screamed in such a way I could never forget it.." She said her eyes hinted toward sadness when she'd mentioned my agonized yelling.
"Do not worry, I forgive you, I understand you're forced to do those things by the queen." I said, touching her scales and not even flinching, even though my hand literally was burning.
"Death! stop or you'll burn your talons off!" she yelled pushing my talon off her scales.
"Okay then Peril, see you later I guess" I whispered putting my talon into the water, cooling it off.
"See you" she said lifting off, leaving me alone. That is when the bushes behind me rustled and something leaped out at me, pinning me.
"This is only the beginning Death" The unknown entity whispered into my ear and the world went black.
