Pandora

•Prologue•

The Raptor held his breath. Not only was the forest around him wet and cold, but it was also midnight. With the trees and cliffs above he could barely see a thing.

Dark, but the best time to hunt, nevertheless.

The prey was a hatchling, just a little smaller than himself. A Wyvern, or at least it looked to be. Something about its shape was a little off, but he didn’t let that distract him. Wyvern or not, it would make a good meal, even if he’d regret it later. If only there were real prey to kill in this blasted kingdom.

He hesitated before taking another step, wondering if going here was really the best choice. Was a land like this really what I wanted in place of a pack?

Hissing quietly, the Raptor took another step. He continued, getting as close as he could to the hatchling, not stopping until he was only a few tail-lengths away. He crouched low behind the two rocks, his eyes fixed on the tiny Wyvern.

‘Remember what she said about you.’ He narrowed his eyes. ‘Prove her wrong.’

Then, with one strong jump, he pounced onto the rocks, snarling loudly. Not wasting another second, he launched himself into the air, falling right down onto the hatchling.

The young Wyvern screamed and fell backwards at the last second, holding her arms out to stop him.

It was at that moment that a bright purple light pierced the Raptors eyes, and before he knew it he was on the ground, the hatchling watching in horror as he was burned alive.
