==Chapter 1==
“The magical death spit?” Clay asked.
“Didn’t you perform it?” Peril replied.
“No, I didn’t,” Clay said and looked toward Glory.
Glory snapped her jaws open like a snake, then spitted her venom straight at Princess Burn. Burn shrieked, pushed Queen Scarlet in front of her, and leaped straight into the air. Glory watched as Queen Scarlet figured what was happening at the last moment and ducked her head. The venom hit an audience and the crowd started shrieking and pandemonium erupted.
“Silence!” Queen Scarlet roared.
Glory started to open her jaws again, but several guards were on her at once and fastened a heavy metal chain around her snout to prevent her from spitting venom again. She hissed and attacked some guards but the chain was already on there.
“Bring her to the dungeons,” Queen Scarlet commanded. “Leave her to me. I will plan her execution tomorrow.”
She looked at Clay helplessly, who had climbed off Peril. Clay whispered something in Peril’s ear and after a few moments, she whispered something back nodded.
Glory knew her adoptive brothers and sister (minus Sunny) are watching her and planning her escape. She knew she could count on them. But Peril . . . Glory was not sure she could trust her.
Glory was dragged by the guards with a “leash” that was tied to her neck. She had to obey them, or else . . . She shuddered at the thought.
The guards dragged her into a medium-sized room with gold embedded into the walls, reflecting sunlight everywhere. They shoved Glory into a huge cage and locked the cage door and left, leaving her alone in the palace jail.
Ha. That could give me some time to look for ways to escape, she thought.
She scanned the room and found a tall window. She glared at her wing chains. Even if she found a way to climb onto the window, the chains’ll prevent her from flying and she’ll drop down to the ground, dead. If she stayed in here and didn’t think and perform a successful escape in time, she’ll be executed, dead. Either way, she’s dead.
Don’t give up on yourself, Glory scolded her. You still have one day.
Yeah. Only one day, the other half of herself retorted. How is that possible for you?
Glory cupped her head in her talons and shook her head. Why is escaping so hard for her?
She laid down on the floor and draped her tail over her snout. She’ll just take a little nap. Perhaps she’ll feel better when she wakes up and think of a way to get rid of her wing chains and fly away. And so, sleep quickly overcame her.
Glory felt something poke her in the side and blinked open her eyes. It was dark outside and the room was dimly-lit. She looked at the dragon. It was . . . Clay! With . . . no, wait, is that Peril?!
Glory tried to say, Stay away from me, but her voice was muffled by the chains that surrounded them.
“Stop moving,” Clay whispered. “Peril’ll help burn your chains.”
Glory took a deep breath. This was her only chance. She closed her eyes as Peril edged closer toward her. Suddenly, she heard the soft thuds of the chains falling onto the ground as Clay lowered them gently. She opened her eyes.
“Peril, you did it!” Clay whispered. “Let’s escape!”
“So . . . we just fly from the window?” Glory asked.
“I believe yes,” Clay answered.
“So I’ll disguise myself as a SkyWing,” Glory said, changing her scales to a warm orange and bright red with golden wing membranes. “Clay, you can fly above us so dragons won’t spot your brown scales. Wait. Where’s Sunny?”
“Sunny?” Peril said. “Clay told me that she’s a golden SandWing without a barb. She’s in a cage. I can bring you there.”
Glory crept after Peril and Clay followed silently. Soon, they reached a corner and peered out.
“I can lead the guards away,” Peril said. “You two can free Sunny. I’ll meet you at the SkyWing territory’s border.”
With that, she ran up to the two guards guarding sunny and said, “Quick! Two prisoners had escaped! Follow me; I know where they went!”
Glory watched as the two guards nodded and followed Peril and flew out the room into the night sky beyond. Glory crept forward and reached Sunny’s cage.
“Glory!” Sunny whispered.
“Shh,” Clay said. “I think we should just take it with us. It’s not too heavy and I can’t figure out how to open the lock.”
Glory nodded. “You’ll carry her first. Let’s go. The SkyWing border. I know where that is.”
With Clay carrying Sunny in her cage, Glory flew out into the dark sky. A cold breeze blew and she shivered. She thought for a moment, then flew under Clay and Sunny and changed her scales to camouflage against the sky. Her two friends smiled at her; they clearly knew what she was thinking.
When they reached the border, it was sunrise. Glory landed and shifted her scales to orange and red and gold again.
“Peril! Where are you?” Glory called quietly.
“Shhhh, we’re here,” she heard Peril whisper.
Following the sound, she arrived at a cave and saw Peril at the entrance.
“Are my friends here?” Glory asked.
“Yes,” Peril answered and moved out of the way.
Glory saw Tsunami and Starflight inside the cave, chatting about something out of earshot. Starflight looked up.
“Glory! Clay! Sunny! You made it!” he cheered and beckoned for them to come.
“Starflight!” Sunny chirped. “Tsunami!”
Clay put Sunny’s cage on the floor and Peril burned down the steel and Sunny scampered out. She stretched her wings.
“Ahh, it’s so good to be free at last!” Sunny gasped. “Thanks, Peril.”
