Saint Asonia

"I trusted you..." Asonia said. Polaris shrugged. 
"The only one to blame is yourself. I never once lied to you. You just didn't want to see the truth. I'm not going to let myself get caught up in your problems. There's no being outraged at me. You brought this on yourself." 
"Well, what was I supposed to do!? You don't know what it's been like for me. It's been so hard since Horizon died. So, what if I lied to myself? If I lied to you? If I could turn back time, I'd have done everything differently. But I didn't. I think about it every waking moment. This was my only out Polaris. Every moment that I spent pretending everything was ok and normal was one moment that I didn't have to worry about them killing me." Asonia felt tears prick at her eyes. 
"So? You could have done literally anything else." Polaris said. "You two ruined your own lives, so you had to try and ruin mine too? There's a reason I tried to distance myself from you Asonia." Asonia shook her head. 
"NO! No. You don't get to do that. You're all I have left Polaris. You can't abandon me." Polaris sighed.
"I'm not abandoning you Asonia. I get that you're hurting, but you have no right to try and manipulate the lives of others to your whims. Thats how dragons get hurt" Asonia nodded.
"Please don't leave me Polaris." 
"Sorry Asonia. Consider this the last time I'll ever speak to you." Polaris shook his head. "You have until sundown to take your things and leave."
"NO!" Asonia shouted, but it was too late. Polaris was already leaving. Asonia fell to her knees and wrapped her wings around herself. How did everything fall apart so quickly? This wasn't fair. This wasn't her fault. It couldn't be...Right? She thought back a few days.

"Trust me Asonia, it's gonna be fine." Horizon said. He grinned and gave Asonia a hug. Asonia smiled too. She couldn't begin to understand how she was lucky enough to meet a guy like Horizon. From his roughish good looks and flax-colored scales to the small scar on his chin, Asonia loved every inch of him. That was the last time she'd ever see him alive. When Asonia returned home later that day she found Horizon's corpse strung up outside their home and the words Where is it? scrawled in blood on the wall. Asonia was horrified. She wasn't certain who had done this, but she had a few theories. Either way she knew she had to leave town as soon as possible. But where would she go? Her parents were dead, and she had no close friends. That only left her older brother Polaris. He lived out in the middle of nowhere in a town called Twin Palms. It barely showed up on a map. Asonia had never gotten along well with her brother, but she was sure he would let her stay with him. Either way he was far enough away from the Scorpion Den that she couldn't be found. She didn't have time to grieve for Horizon. She just turned tail and ran.
A few days later Asonia arrived in Twin Palms and began searching for her brother. It didn't take much asking around to find out where he lived/worked. Polaris worked selling carved wooden objects that he'd made and lived above his shop.
