It didn't take long for the rest of the Dragonets to come to the throne room.

The first one to arrive is Starflight. His eyes look forward and walk at a constant pace while surrounded by a lot of the Queen's dragons. Starflight's eyes scan the entirety of the room before his gaze lands on my form, his eyes widen at the sight of me held in chains right next to the Queen who I just smile grimly at.

Once stopping in front of the Queen, he immediately bowed gracefully, or as graceful as a dragon. His wings tucked in either side of his back and his head lowered, almost touching the floor right before saying " It is an honor meeting you, your Highness."

Both Scarlet and I were taken aback by the dragon's etiquette. The Queen never expected to have a Dragonet of destiny to harbor such graceful actions towards the Queen than the usual growls and threatening gestures that she normally receives.

Nevertheless, she quickly compose herself and looked at Starflight's submissive body.

" The pleasure is mine Nightwing."

Scarlet smiled gleefully as she realize how polite her first Nightwing prisoner is as she turned her attention toward me.

"See that my pet? That is how a dragon should greet me. Unlike your uncouth behavior earlier." Queen Scarlet smiled, taunting me and lecturing me while yanking my chain as I look away from her and focus on the kneeling Nightwing's features.

Starflight, still in his usual bowing pose slightly opened his eyes and look at me, a hint of curiosity gleaming through his dark irises, and then close them before the Queen took notice.

A few minutes later, Clay the Mudwing, strapped in chains in his arms and legs came through the entrance. Like in the books, I literally know what he is thinking right now. He then started rambling on and on about Queen Scarlet, his impromptu introduction which is very terrible and the fact that he doesn't know how to act towards royalty makes him look like a wholesome dork.

'He kinda reminds me of Volteer from The Legend of Spyro to be honest.'

Settling in right next to Starflight, Clay asks how he is and what is he doing before the Queen's voice boomed throughout the room, sounding a bit annoyed by the fact of how Clay is acting around her.

"The Nightwing is trying to tell you that it's rude to talk to anyone else before the Queen in her own throne room," Queen Scarlet said with a click of her tongue. " First you bow to me, then at my pet here," Wait, for what? " and then you stay put until I'm ready to address you all. Seriously, what are they teaching young dragons these days? It is so disrespectfully annoying."

"Sorry." Clay mumbled then looked at me.

"Who is he?" Clay asked, already forgetting the rule that the Queen literally said a few seconds ago.

The Queen slammed her tail and looked at Clay disapprovingly as the poor Mudwing recoiled and bowed his head. He tried to flex his claws and fold his wings which is similar to how Starflight does it, but for some reason, he could not do it.

The Queen 'tsked' and resume sitting on her throne comfortably while waiting for Tsunami. The two Dragonets before her bowing silently as every dragon in the throne room waited for the Seawing to come.

Finally, after what felt like decades of waiting, all of us hear a big commotion behind us.

There at the entrance, Tsunami is growling menacingly towards every dragon that she deemed hostile. Visible scratches and scars are presented everywhere on her body as her tails, wings, and muzzle are all strapped with chains.

However, that does nothing to stop her from thrashing everywhere, which made it too difficult for the Skywings to escort her to the throne room.

Finally, they pushed her alongside Clay, and all the Skywings that are escorting her jumped back as Tsunami partially broke free of the chains and thrashed.

There are more than a few Skywings that got scratched and bitten when I turn to look at them. Their faces are painted with pain as I make a mental note to never mess with Tsunami in the future. Unless of course, I know how to fight in this dragon body of mine. Not like I wanna fight her...

Finally, with all of the current dragonets present in the room, Queen Scarlet stood up from her throne and spread her wings, looking at Tsunami with amusement as said Seawing growled nonstop since the time she was free from her cage.

"Well, hello there!" Queen Scarlet said as she move away from her throne and paced around the three Dragonets before adding, " We have been waiting for you! May I surmise that you enjoy your stay above the arena?"

At once, Tsunami snapped and thrashed glaring at the Queen with ferocity seething in her eyes as the Queen was taken aback by the display of rage.

The same thing can be said of me. I never knew how violent Tsunami is, she's never this violent in the first chapters of the book... Something is definitely weird going on around here.

Hopefully, it wouldn't turn out to be one of those fanfics where a displaced human turned-dragon managed to change the timeline just because he 'accidentally' interfered with major plot intervals...

My thoughts ceased when Tsunami suddenly shouted, telling the Queen how could she treat dragons that way, especially them.

Of course, the Queen just replies with her usual excuse, because it's amusing for her, simple as that. Starflight's body shifted, his body language telling me that he is about to argue but decide against it.

The conversation about war and dragon morality, etcetera blah blah blah keeps going for like five minutes, I swear these were not mentioned in the book. Heck, even Tsunami is now calming down and is having a debate with the Queen about how war is bad while the Queen just said war is good business and shit.

Heck, even the dragons that are positioned around us are listening attentively, some of them even silently nodded their head at Tsunami while others just plain disagree with her. Seriously what is this stuff? Grade 6 English class?

For the sake of my sanity, I was about to step in and try to stop this madness when Clay spoke up. Starflight tries to pound his foot but he dodges it and proceeds to ask his question.

"Uhmm excuse me, your highness--- majesty. Where's Sunny? Is she alright?" Clay asked as the Queen turned her head towards Clay, finally snapping out of her and Tsunami's debate as she composes herself and look at the pitiful Mudwing.

"Sunny... Sunny... Ah yes!" The Queen smiled and looked at Clay. "The strange-looking Sandwing!"

The Queen stare at her guards and motioned them with her head, at once they moved out of sight while I was confused at this strange event.

' I never read this in the book! What's going on? ' I was starting to believe that the thing I mentioned before, about the human-turned-dragon-timeline-changed-thingy is real. This is bad.

All of us then discern the cackling of chains being dragged and the unknown voice of a female came echoing at us, however, the dragonets that are in front of me clearly know who this voice belongs to.

"Sunny!" Both Tsunami and Clay shouted as they look at the caged Sandwing.

Surprisingly, before I even knew it, Sunny was as beautiful as a--- whack!

I hit myself in the tail, earning a look from the Queen before turning back her attention at the scene unfolding right in front of her.

Stupid horny dragon thoughts.

I shake my head as Clay and Tsunami try to rush to their captive friend but was pulled back by the chains that ground them.

Sunny on the other hand looked at her friends and perked up while saying goodbye to the guard that she was having a one-sided conversation.

Said guard looking finally relieved that he was out of earshot from the Sandwing. Poor guy must have his ears got eaten out by the Sandwing perky conversational skills.

"We'll isn't this lovely?" The Queen said as the three of them momentarily forgot about her.

"You know, I was gonna send her to Burn, she loves to collect strange things, you should visit her place, it's very horrifyingly dreadful." The Queen Shuddered before looking at me.

"Fortunately I may have found a replacement. After all, I did promise my citizens an exciting fight in the Arena and for my hatch day. Besides! What's more exciting to have the Dragonets of Destiny fight other dragons?"

At this point, I stop listening to her. My attention stopped when she said 'I found a replacement.' No, there is no freaking way that that replacement is me....right?

I was busy thinking hard about how my new life suddenly went from good to bad. How did this happen? I can't... I just! Ugh!

I was so busy with my thoughts that I miss the entire conversation about Clay asking for Glory's strange mood. No doubt my face looks so distraught at the realization that I will be dead the second Burn comes and collect me.

On the other side of my mind, a positive yet stupid side of mine whispered to me, 'Hey! At least you'd get to see another sexy dragon! Who knows? Maybe it could lead to sexy times--'

"Stop that!" I shouted. My voice echoed across the room as everyone in the vicinity looked at me.

Realizing what I have done, I look away from every eye that is staring at me, heck even the Queen looks at me and is silent.

With my face turning red, the Dragonets look at me weirdly while I try to shy away. Not that it would do me any good, I am chained in this single spot so it will bode me nothing, unfortunately.

"Oh? Is there something you wanna say pet?" Queen Scarlet moved from her throne and walk at my blushing form. Gosh, darn it! Not in front of them you sexy Queen! Arghhh!!!

From the corner of my vision, I could see the reactions of the Dragonets. Tsunami who is focused on the Queen, never bother to check me out until I shouted earlier, she looked confused as to what is a dragon like me doing here but she just simply shrugged it off when suddenly, Queen Scarlet raised my chin with her claws and made me look at her. Oh crap...

Tsunami's eyes widened and her mouth hung open as she is analyzing the scene in front of her. Clay and Sunny are just confused, wondering what the Queen and I doing and Starflight just looked at us, his face is like still registering the scene in front of him.

Heck, I even saw a glimpse of Glory's reaction. Her face changed slightly from the corner of my eye before returning to her usual form.

"Well? What are you waiting for my dragon? Is there something you want to say? Do speak up." Crap, I think I messed up the timeline.

Thinking of a thing to say to the Queen I try to avoid all the lewd thoughts that are forming in my mind as her claws dragged their way into my cheek as I fought the urge to shiver.

"Pick me..." I said as Queen looked at me as if I were stupid. Did I say something wrong?

"What." Queen Scarlet raised an eyebrow (?) as Clay, Tsunami, Starflight, and Sunny looked at me as if I have grown another head.

"I'll do it." I repeated as the Queen pondered before asking.

"Are you sure about that? You know, if you'll get killed I won't be able to send you off to Burn... But..." Queen Scarlet looks at Sunny before smiling.

"On second thought, never mind about that. Seeing an unusual dragon fight in today's arena will surely be interesting! Very well my pet! You shall have the honor of fighting in the arena!" Queen Scarlet said gleefully.

"As for the rest of you..." She turn around and gestured for her guards to take away the Dragonets. "Bring them to the arena, I want them to see their future opponent fight today's battle."

With that, the Dragonets have led away from our presence, Tsunami looking back at me with a confused expression before being pushed away by a dragon.

Oh great. What did I get myself into?

Right now, only me and the Queen are alone in the throne room with no dragons present. I could feel the Queen's gaze peering at me and when I look at her, she is giving me a particularly uncomfortable, predatory gaze.

A really disturbing and predatory gaze. One that I wish I never EVER thought that I encounter so early in my new life.

For some reason, I feel the need to protect my body and chastity.
