Flare ducked out of the way as a large SandWing barged past her. His eyes flickered with malice, and growling under her breath, she veered sharply left and was immediately swallowed by a crowd of dragons.
They call this town Possibility, she thought in exasperation. But I think it should be called Chaos instead. 
The town was bustling with not only SandWings, SkyWings, and MudWings, but SeaWings, RainWings, and even a few IceWings. 
Flare was about to reach her destination when a familiar voice stopped her. She turned sharply, surprised to see her mate, Rulebreaker, crouching behind a small cart. She rushed over to him and pressed her snout against his. He wrapped his wings around her affectionately before glancing worriedly around and shoving his glasses farther up his snout. 
“What are you doing here?” she asked him in a hushed voice. 
“I—I needed to tell you something important,” he replied.
“Well, I have news for you, too.”
He perked up. “Really? You share first.”
Flare smiled fondly and brushed her talons against her stomach. Rulebreaker’s eyes widened, and he gasped loudly.
“We’re going to have a dragonet?” he cried softly. “That’s wonderful news.”
Flare shuddered. “And horrible news. We can’t raise her—it—here.”
“You’re right.” Rulebreaker chewed on one of his talons nervously. “Um, where should we go?”
“Away from here.” She grasped his talons in hers. “In the mountains, but a good distance from the Sky Kingdom, so they won’t catch us.”
Rulebreaker grinned cheerfully. “Good idea. Now—” He was cut off by a loud crash coming from somewhere nearby. Both dragons gasped and whirled around. Flare dashed towards the open, flapping her wings desperately. She lifted off into the air and glanced back. Rulebreaker was fighting his way through the crowd. Puzzled, Flare swooped low and watched him carefully. One of his wings was flopping awkwardly at his side.
Oh, moons, Flare groaned silently. Not again. She landed clumsily on a small patch of open ground before chasing desperately after him. “Rulebreaker!” she called. “Back here!”
Rulebreaker whirled around and started towards her. Flare shoved through past the dragons next to her, snorting in irritation.
“Follow me!” she called to him, heading for a deserted row of carts.
“Why are we still running?” he panted. “Are the guards still—”
He was cut off by a loud snarl. Whirling around, both dragons came face-to-face with three large SkyWing soldiers. 
“Just where do you two think you’re going?”
