=== Prologue ===
“What did you say to me?” said an angry voice, coming from an angry SandWing guard. 
This isn’t the first run-in that Diablo has had with this prison guard. The guard was typically ticked off about something, whether it was a prisoner talking too much, or a drink not tasting sweet enough. Either way, Diablo wasn’t an exception to being yelled at. 
“I said, what did you say to me, cactus-face?” 
“I wasn’t talking to you,” replied Diablo.
“But what were you saying, camel-spit?”
“I was just talking to myself, that’s all-”
“What were you saying, worm food?!”
Diablo had just then remembered the short temper this guard had.
“I was just counting the minutes until dinner.”
“Well, you’ll be waiting a long time for that to happen. We prison guards serve the worst dragons last, and you’re no exception.”
The words echoed down the narrow hallways of the SandWing prison.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Diablo had managed to finally steal the keys off of a prison guard, grabbing them with his tail when they weren’t looking. He quickly unlocked the cell door and ran right out of his prison cell. 
“What the-” were the prison guards' last words before Diablo's tail went through his throat. 
Diablo had just committed a murder inside of the prison. Not too shabby, thought Diablo. I still have my skills. He had been thrown in the deepest, coldest prison cell for a reason. A reason that involved a lot of bloodshed. So, this obviously wasn’t his first murder. 
He quietly went down the hallway, unlocking the cells of other inmates as he went. He was sure that he had a 50/50 chance of this plan working. One of the outcomes was the inmates quietly following him down the hallway until they reached the lounge. Then they would open the door, set fire to the lounge with the guards still in it, and escape during the panic this caused. The other, worse outcome would be the prisoners going through the hallways with a lot of noise, and all of the guards would come spilling out of the lounge to investigate.
Diablo was disappointed when the latter had been the outcome. 
The prisoners that had been released from their cages had been quiet, but the ones still in their cells saw what was coming and started to yell at Diablo and his now released army.
“Let us free!”
“You spineless traitor!”
“Come back here!”
“Release us all, Diablo!”
The last yell told the guards that this was a breakout. They came pouring out of the lounge, stabbing their tails at Diablo and his army. The guards set fire to Diablo’s army, killing them all, but Diablo set fire to most of the guards just after. Two remained: a fragile-looking guard and the angry guard. The fragile one broke the silence as Diablo approached with a sinister look on his face.
“Cholla, what should I do?
“Alert the backup guards, Dusty. And tell them he’s mine.”
Diablo responded by lashing his tail out at Dusty and ripping out her spine. Dusty fell to the floor with a loud thump, dead like the other guards. I was right. She was fragile. I seem to still be a good serial killer, because I can still predict what my victims will do, and assess them when I first see them￼. Diablo thought. Cholla reached out at Diablo but missed and fell to the floor. Diablo stabbed Cholla in the tail, limiting his capabilities. However, that didn’t stop Cholla from delivering a left-hook to Diablo, knocking him to the ground. Cholla proceeded to grab Diablo’s throat, lifting Diablo up while having a smug expression on his face. 
“Finally. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Cholla, the hero. Cholla, the savior of the SandWings. Cholla, the destroyer of evil. My name will go down in history! I will be number o-”
Cholla’s speech was cut short by Diablo’s tail barb stabbing him in the skull. 
And then Cholla’s hand slipped off of Diablo’s throat, his talons scratching Diablo on the way down. Then Cholla went limp. Diablo was the victor of the fight, but now he had to escape. 
He saw the lounge door was open, so he entered, set fire behind him, and destroyed the wall with a dragonflame cactus he found in there. He flew out, now a dangerous criminal. Get ready, Pyrrhia. Diablo is back, and he is out for blood.
