“Captain Slither, the last group of captives has just arrived.” This came from a wyvern who Slither had sent out a couple days ago to get wyverns for Draco’s army.

“Gather the prisoners together, I will come out in a moment.” Slither has been ordered by Draco to build him an army. Frankly, Slither knew nothing of warfare, but he was glad to have a position of power. A wyvern of his size was not necessarily intimidating, so being in charge meant the world to him. Slither exited the small cave as the rest of the prisoners were presented before him. “Welcome wyverns. Today is the day of your potential freedom. It is actually quite simple. You can either join our forces, or, you can be sent back into prison where you will await your demise when we need to feed our troops.”

“We are not afraid of you, tiny.” This came from a slightly larger wyvern near the center of the group. Although Slither was a little frightened, he had his guards, two brutish wyverns who were quite large, black, with deep red eyes. They were not the most intelligent, but they were strong. The larger wyvern however did not seemed the slightest bit concerned with them. He moved forward slowly as he continued speaking. “What makes you think we will just bow down to you? We could easily overtake you and your guards.”

“What makes you think that you won’t?” a voice thundered from deeper down the trench. All of the wyverns froze. Suddenly, a sound like thunder came forth, almost rhythmically. It wasn’t until the shape of a wyvern passed overhead that they all realized that it was the sound of wings. The massive wyvern landed on the ridge, its head eclipsing the sun. “You will either serve, or you will meet your demise. Do not be afraid. I understand this is a tense situation and a hard decision. You have a day to decide.” With that, the wyvern departed and the prisoners were put back in their cages.
