Monarchy's Plight

Chapter 19

Goon watched in shock as Alisa leapt into the wyverns mouth. The wyvern queen looked as confused as Goon was. "No!" screamed Alisa's sister. The queen laughed.

And then suddenly she stopped.

Her eyes went wide and her laughter was replaced by a gurgling sound. She was trying to breathe but couldn't. She held her throat and fought for air. Her remaining slaves looked around, frantically trying to think of a way to save her, but they were too late. The shadow wyvern queen fell to the ground completely still.

The shadow slaves scrurried out of the nest and flew away, and there was silence. Alisa's sister let out a wail and Goon dropped his head. He was about to lead the sad deino out of the nest when the wyvern queens throat began to tremble. A small claw poked out from her neck and slid down the throat, making a hole. Alisa's face peeked out.
