Dragon Clan

Ready to go?

Mari sighs and nods doesnt look like she has much of a choice.

The cell door slowly swings open and the guard stands there, towering over her, offering no help as she struggled to her feet. She shuffles out, and the unflinching guard slaps a set of manacles onto her wrists rather roughly.

Come on then. He grunts, grabbing the small chain that linked both manacles together and dragging her along the narrow tunnel of the dungeon.

She doesnt say anything as they go, silently obeying the guards tugs as they climb several stairs before reaching a solid iron door that separates the dark prison from the world beyond.

Metal screeches as the door swings open, and two more guards are waiting for them on the other side.

Get moving. The first jailer grunts as he shoves her into the waiting pair.

Still, she remains silent as she was escorted through the castle grounds, eyeing the destruction of its walls, the scorch marks that blacken its western side, and the general lack of life to be found. This side of the citadel took the most damage, but the underground dungeon was undamaged.

Slowly, they make their way through the ruined corridors, large holes littering the ceiling allow the bright sun to filter through as they walk past hastily clear piles of rubble.

Finally, Mari is brought out to the main courtyard, and she could almost laugh. How hard did she fight to get to this place not three days ago, only now, to be all too happily dragged out here?

After her stint in the blackness of the cells, the sun is almost too bright as shes near deafened by the roar of the gathering crowd, but she pays them no mind. Her attention is fully focused on the structure before her.

The gallows.

The two guards shove her forward hard enough to make her stumble. This is it; she thinks, this is the end of the line.

Citizens of a land she hardly knows shout and roar as shes dragged up the steps, there

hatred clear in ever more spite-filled words.

She doesnt look at them, doesnt protest as the noose is pulled over her neck, doesnt try to fight back as the guards finally let her go, leaving her in the presence of the black hooded executioner.

This is her fate for failure, for losing the war.

The cry of the crowd reaches new levels as the executioner pulls the lever, and Mari sighs as she drops.

14 years ago,

You two be careful now, you hear me? Maris mother, a slender woman in her thirties, called from the doorway of the small cabin.

Her shout went mostly unheard by the two young children that had only moments before dived out past her in a race of hyperactive giggles and skips.

Chapter 2

Why do I even try? She sighed, watching as her two youngest kids took off for the forest edge.

Dont worry, Ill look after them. Kasari said with an assured voice, readjusting her hold on her shoulder pack as she came to join her mother in the doorway.

I know, their mother sighed, remember I want you all back before dusk. Kasari chuckled as she headed out, following the trail of her younger siblings. Come on. Mother, how old do you think I am?

Old enough to do as your told. Their mother quipped back, smirking.

Kasari only nodded, bowing her head slightly before turning to bolt after the disappeared scamps. As the eldest child of the Ri clan, Kasari took great pride in her new household position; now that she was 12, it was her job to watch over her siblings.

The rugged clothes of her people hung loosely from her, held up only by the thick belt around her waist and buckled boots. Her long, deep blue cloak fanned out behind her as she ran, easily tracking the twins. As a Dragon-kin, tracking came naturally to her, her large amber eyes effortlessly picking out the footprints, her nose picking up their scent, and her narrow yet long ears twitched as she listened to them laugh.

She smirked when she found them and pounced.

Got you! She gloated as she snagged their backs in both of her hands, halting them from

getting any further away.

Aww, no fair! Dari huffed as he was stopped.

Kasari smiled softly as she put the pair down, but kept a hold of them, crouching to be at eye level. She couldnt blame them for being excited, they were only four and this was the first time they were given full freedom to explore the forest.

They really did look like each other, both with short hair the colour of the forest in a rainstorm, wide violet eyes that remind Kasari of the sky at dawn, and crystal blue stumps poking between their hair atop their heads, the color inherited by all of the Ri clan. It didnt help that their mother had a love of dressing them the exact same to further confuse anyone who didnt know how to tell them apart.

Now, now. Kasari said as she laid a hand upon their heads, careful to avoid the small yet sharp stumps of their growing horns. I know youre excited, but remember, were out here to forage, so follow me.

Dari huffed, always the energetic one of the young pairs, but Kasari knew just how to get him on board.

How about this, Ill show you what were looking for, then you two can go off and try to

find some. Whoever has the most before sunset doesnt have to do chores tonight. The pair happily cheered at the challenge, anything to get out of work Kasari thought. So, for the next few hours, she diligently searched and explained to the pair.

We need more beta roots for Mother to make her potions that she sells. She told them as they slowly wandered through the lush undergrowth, until finally she found what they were looking for.

Ah, here, come see.

At the base of a Scale Bark tree, Kasari kneeled to dig between it roots. This is perfect, beta root grows by feeding off the nutrients of the Scale Bark here we go! She grinned wide as she pulled up the large spiked yellowish ball to show the pair. This is what we need, the bigger the better. Now before you go Having heard all he needed, Dari quickly dashed off, but Mari was more diligent and remained to listen to the rest of her sisters explanation.

before you go Mari, you can find beva root if you can pick up on its scent. Have a sniff.

She held the spiked ball out, patiently waiting for her sister to sniff it. Cautiously, Mari leaned over to get a whiff, and recoiled immediately. Eewww! She whined, pinching her nose from the strong pungent smell.

Smells bad, doesnt it? Kasari laughed, Shouldnt be too hard for you to find it then, huh?

Mari glared at her sisters mean trick but turned to head off to start her own search. But the truth was, Kasari simply needed the twins out of the way, and leaving them to search in the safest part of the forest was her best bet.
