Queen Comet swiftly jumped forth off the throne, screaming. "PLEASE, ZODIAC!" She flung her wings over her head as the spear flung itself at her, stabbing her in the back of her neck and killing her. Aries screamed and flew out of the doors, screaming. "ZODIAC!! SHE-SHE'S A MURDERER!" 
As soon as he had screamed so, I heard other dragons fleeing and screaming. The prisoners roared with fury, thrashing in their cages. Flare and Aether stared at me, and Flare stepped forward, resting a talon on my shoulder. "I.. know you aren't a murderer." He said. I curled my talons and flinched. 
"No, I'm dangerous." I managed to pipe out. It felt like my body was slowly closing in and I felt as if I were about to suffocate. I growled. "Spear.." I looked down at my feet as the spear gently settled itself in my talons and gaped. "Kill.." I couldn't say it. "I can't say it!" I cried out, dropping the spear. A dangerous feeling tingled in my talons. 
Flare grasped my shoulders. "Zodiac, don't let it get to you. You remember Peril? She was the most dangerous dragon in Pyrrhia. And was she evil? No." I looked up at Flare. "Y-you're right..." I mustered. "But.. Who'll be queen?" I asked. Flare looked at me, his dark blue eyes somehow soothing me. 
I relaxed my tense muscles and exhaled. "Zodiac, you have waited for this moment." He looked at Aether, who was calm. "I believe you should be queen. You are not a murderer, okay? You're a great, powerful dragon who wouldn't harm a soul unless it was needed. Was it needed for you to kill Comet? Yes. Was it needed for you to kill all those guards? Yes. You protected us." Flare retorted. 
"But what about Aries? The Skywings don't want a murderous queen." I pointed out. Aether stepped, up, his burly frame blocking the sunlight that came in from the open door. "You," He murmured, then looked at Flare. "You can kill Aries." He said, flicking his tail. I nodded, picking up the spear I had dropped. "Kill Aries." I commanded, and it shot out of the doors, around Aether, and I heard a piercing shriek. I heard the screams of fear get louder and crazier. 
Flare and Aether flew out of the doors. I picked up the crown, exhaling. I was scared.
