Talia awoke the next morning, the sun cast its bright orange light through the cave she lived in. Talia yawned and flexed her large scaly wings. “Another day of pure pleasure.” Talia whispered to herself. Though she was all alone in the forest she never felt lonely. No restrictions and no laws, she was a free wyvern not bound to anyone or anything. Talia’s stomach growled loudly. “I’m starving.” Talia said to herself. She leapt from the cave opening and soared high above the trees, peering down at the ground below. Then she spotted it. A phiomia waddling around. Talia ran her tongue over her fangs. “Looks good to me.” She dived down as fast as fast can be and closed her talons over the young creature’s body. A loud piglike squeal ran through the air. And then stopped. Talia licked the fresh blood from her mouth and sighed. “Ahh…perfect.” She whispered to herself. Then Talia took flight again, weaving back and forth between the trees. Suddenly something hit her out of thin air. Whatever it was slammed her against a rock, gripping her with her claws to keep her there. When Talia looked at them to see what they were she was shocked. A enormous wyvern with shining black scales and cold red eyes. “You’re a-a wyvern!” Talia exclaimed. She thought she was the only one! Her attacker cocked his head and faced her with his dark eyes. “Yes and I have come with orders from KING Draco to bring you and every stray wyvern to his castle.” He said. “King?” Talia asked. The mysterious wyvern lifted his head and flexed his wings proudly. “Yes. I work for the great King Draco himself and have come to bring you in. ” He said haughtily. Talia scowled. “I don’t know who this “Draco” is but I am not coming with you!” Talia growled. The wyvern’s snout twitched with amusement and anger. “Wrong choice.”

Immediately two more wyverns swooped down to join them. “Come. We will take her to KING Draco along with the other prisoners so that he can….sort a few things out.” The leader wyvern instructed. They advanced on Talia. She bared her teeth and snarled at them but they quickly apprehended her. “Where are you taking me?!?!” Talia snarled as they dragged her away. “To King Draco’s palace of course where you will choose your fate.” The lead wyvern said, sneering. Talia didn’t know who King Draco was but she didn’t think she would like him. She didn’t know how right she was.
