The Sand Queen

Chapter 1 - Lizard
                       Today was pretty normal. You know, just kidnapping a prince. The usual. Pretty boring. But seriously, you want to know what happened? Well here it is. Me saving the world with all my cleverness and amazingness. I'm just like that.
                      The day started out normal sure enough. Or as normal as it can be for a 7 year old SandWing in the Scorpion Den. Stole some bread, got chased by a merchant, and hid in an old abandoned house. If you've ever read a novel (which I'm assuming you have) you know that old abandoned houses are always a bad place to be in. But that I'was just superstition right? Wrong. I've hidden in plenty of old abandoned houses, but somehow this one happened to have a creepy old NightWing ghost in it. Just my luck.
                      So I was chilling out in the house waiting for the merchant to pass me by, when I spotted a light. Uh oh, more dragons hiding from merchants I thought. I went over to catiously explain to them I was just a friendly dragon hiding out here, when instead of a dragon a saw a ghost dragon. Sure heck why not. Angry merchants, creepy ghosts dragons. I never believed in ghosts, but I guess it was just another weird thing in the Scorpion Den. The Scorpion Den was the defintion of weird. And well since I am naturally humorous (that may have or have not worked out in the past) I treated him as if he was just a guest over for dinner, cause heck why not. "Nice to see you Mr...?" I said politely. I am very polite. "Destinywarner" he said extremly exasperated (gee, I wonder why) "You, your twin sister, and I need to talk" As soon as he said my sister, I backed away from him. All my humor and confidence had left me. If there was one thing I was scared of, it was my sister.
                       We had fallen out a couple years before when our mother died. My father had died before I was born. I now your thinking gee, sorry Lizard, that's so hard but I don't need any of your sympathy. Really. My sister, Viper was down to earth and real serious. And I was just me, humorous, and sarcastic (and of course awesome as well). She did all she could to take care of me. She was only born two mintues before me, but it felt like much longer. We argued when my mom died. She said my petty stealing tricks wouldn't work now that mom was gone. That we needed to learn a way through the world. Get a job. I didn't want to. So she left me and told me to see where my "petty stealing tricks" got me in the world. And so, in a couple years she became the world's most feared assassian, The Viper.
                        I'm not just scared of her because she's "The Viper". She had been scary since, well forever. So I was shocked by the idea of seeing my sister again (though handsomely shocked of course) "Not my sister" I said shaking my head. "We need both of you for the prophecy" Destinywarner said. I knew there was no persuading him. Suddenly I heard a pop. Viper appeared. She growled. Her face was exactly the way it was when she left, mad and angry. She wielded to daggers. When she saw me she looked confused for a minute "Lizard?". Then she snapped out of it and gave me a look that meant so what if you're here, it doesn't change anything. 
                       She looked Destinywarner straight in the eye "Who are you?" she demanded "And why am I here?". "You'll figure that out soon enough, Viper" Destinywarner said "But be patient for now". Viper looked mad, but she couldn't exactly threaten to torture him or kill him, since will he was already dead. "Well" I said to break the silence "Anyone want tea?"
                       Viper gave me another look. I was pretty sure this one meant seriously? I'm not sure why she gave me that look, after all I was serious. Destinywarner also looked more exasperated for some reason. "I am a seer" Destinywarner started. "And you haunt people and warn them about their destinies" I guessed. Destinywarner gave me another glare "Aside from the haunting part, Lizard is right. I warn individuals about prophecies concerning them, when the time is right. And it seems like the time is right to know about your prophecy."
                       I was startled. I mean, I joke about how awesome I am, but I don't actually believe I'm better than everyone else. I'm not stuck up. I'm sure I'm a regular SandWing not a prophecy dragonet. "Look Destiny guy I think you have the wrong dragon" Destinywarner gave me another exasperated glare. "Destinywarner" he said through gritted teeth "And the prophecy was pretty clear that you two and the prince are the prophecy dragons"
                       "Ok whatever, let's just hear it" I said. But inside I was thinking the prince? Destinywarner glared at me again. What is it with him and glaring? Ok, Viper was glaring at me too, which unnerved me a little, but I just looked away from her, and pretended she didn't exist. Destinywarner took a deep breath and said this:
                       "The golden viper and lizard
                       Shall remove the queen
                       Running like a blizzard
                       The sandstorm rages
                       Her own son wages
                       War against the queen
                       And once everyone has seen
                       The evil that is ripe
                       They must choose sides
                       And begin the fight"
                       He finished the prophecy. I was shocked. It didn't just say Viper and Lizard. There could be many Viper's and Lizard's. But it said the golden Viper and Lizard. I had a scale defect or something which made my scales golden. Viper too, though not as much as mine. And as far as I knew we were the only golden Viper and Lizard. "What, what does it all mean" I said shakily. Viper stood there unmoving. "I don't know" replied Destinywarner "The golden viper and lizard refers to you I believe, and her own son wages war against the queen means that the prince will aid you, but beyond that I don't know." "But, we have to kill Queen Sandstorm?" I asked hoping it wasn't true
                       "It would be easy" Viper grumbled "If she wasn't an animus." "Viper is right, her animus magic makes her almost invulnerable." I protested. "Appearances can be deceiving" Destinywarner warned "Even if she appears invulnerable, that only makes her weak spot greater." Why though, does this prophecy just not tell us what it is? I thought grumpily. "You're right" I said instead though, making a stab at humor "After all, I look pretty amazing, and I am even more amazing." I said. Viper and Destinywarner both glared at me. "So, you know the basics of the SandWing government?" Destinywarner asked.
                       "Yeah" I said. For those of you who don't know, let me give you the run through. After the SandWing succsssion, Thorn became queen. When she grew tired of being queen she gave the throne to Sunny. Sunny ruled until Sandstorm challenged her to Sunny's game things she made up, which had taken place of the fight to the death. Sandstorm won. And now Sandstorm had only one heir, Prince Xerocole. Sandstorm was more of a traditional queen than Sunny or Thorn. She was more like Oasis. She had no business with thieves and criminals. Nobles and the rich were above everybody else. But we were fine. She wasn't too bad. Not like Burn and Blister were. But who knew what was going on in the minds of queens? Anyway, Destinwarner floated above us jaw set firmly "Good cause you'll need it if you are to kidnap Prince Xerocole."
