"Come diamond today is your final exam" my mother said as she hugged me close

"B-but mother what if I can't" I said still shattered that I have to fight my brother

"What do you mean you can't?" My mother asked looking up at me concerned that's right she was looking up. Not down. Up. I am taller and more bulky then mother is.

"I can't I can't fight my own brother!"

"Oh sure you can I had to your father had to" mother said as we arrived in the fighting arena.

"Go get them tiger" my mother said proudly

I walked into the area dragons roared cheering me I hear the announcer "in the left corner we have Diamond Calico and in the right we have Cody Calico, brother and sister fighting for the the top place in the herd. Good luck to the both of you!"

I faced my brother his golden-green eyes starring me down, his pitch black scales as dark as night his body was small but bulky. He charged at me and I lunged at him and pulled him into a tackle, we rolled several meters before he was on top of me I pushed him off and blowed fire in at him. He backed off whimpering slightly at his lose. "I'm sorry brother" I said under my breath

|3 months later|

"Humans!!" Our blue eyes Titan Wing alpha Stella roared "All dragons to the west side of the island"

"That's the 3rd siting this week" my mother said harshly

"Mother d-do you think we'll be okay? The herd I mean" I questioned

"Of course we will! I mean having Stella as our alpha is good" my mother said

Cody landed outside the cave looking slightly worried "mother, diamond we better get going otherwise we'll have Stella to talk to" he said.

As I dropped to the cliff I shook myself and turned to Cody "Mother needs to stay behind... She has eggs again" I explained "keep up if you can!" I bellowed over my shoulder as I started over the sea. Waves crashed below me, sending up fountains of foam and spray as they crushed against the rocks. Intimidating from the ground, perhaps, but not from the sky. I climbed soundlessly into the night sky, below me I could hear the painful yells of my herd as they were shot down and probably killed. I flinched at each yell. Cody approached me from the ocean.

"We've got to get out of here NOW!" My brother yelled at me

"W-why"

"The humans-Vikings are stronger than ever. Stella ordered every dragon younger than 5 years or any dragons with eggs to leave to Dragon Island" my brother announced.
