Taking shelter

Rei was already in her combat uniform. Kaida quickly changed clothes and walked back to the square. Just then she saw something in the corners of her eye. Had she seen it wrong? Yes it much be, cause nothing could have slipped past her mother.

The moment Kaida walked into the square she knew something was wrong. The square, which was just very busy, was now  with less people. She did not see elderly people and most of the children were gone too. Only children of ten years and older were still present. Had she seen it well? No, if I see my brothers and sisters then nothing is wrong. Kaida looked around and did not see any of them.

"What are you dreaming about there, are you starting to get scared?"

Kaida looked up and saw her cousin Kyro. He stood together with 2 other boys and a girl. 

the boy Kaën and girl kayra were the children of her mother's sister, and her cousin Kyro and the other boy Koto were the children of her mother's brother. Because they did not differ much in age, they grew up together.

Kyro was the same age as Rei. He was tall with dark red hair and dark eyes and just like his father. His wide shoulders and muscular body showed that he took his training seriously.

koto was just like his mother. He was twelve and was a few centimeters shorter than his brother. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was not as muscular and broad as his brother. 

Kaën and kayra were twins of eleven years and looked just a like. They had light red hair and light eyes. Kaën was not as tall as kyro and koto, but just like them he had a muscular body. Kayra was small and was filled in the right places.

Her mother was still standing in front of her throne and looking around the square.

"Although all children from the age of ten years are enough to go to war with us, I will make an exception today. I want all children aged 10 to 15 to leave the square through the south path now. "

This news came unexpectedly and nobody knew what to do. Until kyro opened his mouth.

"But Auntie what about the dragonfight?"

The queen looked at him and said

"we do not have time for that anymore. The news that ensured that the king is on his way to the wolves tribe is fake. My brother is already in our tribe and I already have a strategy to undermine him. However, I need experienced warriors for that. How many times have you fought in a war?"

Kyro wanted to say something but the queen interrupted him and said

"we have no time for this. I have already sent the dragons along with the weaker ones. Now go fast. Only when you are at the shelter can it be locked."

Kaida looked up shocked. Locked? But then no one can enter? What about my mother and our warriors? Was my mother sure she would win this fight or....

Rei pulled Kaida along and said

"come on we have to go. despise How skillful we are, we will only get in the way."

The children of ten to fifteen years were just away when with a great speed a big wolf came up the square. A man with an iron look in his eyes was sitting on the wolf. It was a look that gave the warriors of the dragon tribe an quiver..

"My little brother what brings you here? And what a grand entry? If I did not know any better I would think you have bad ulterior motives."

The Queen walked towards the wolf. The man on the wolf looked into her ruby eyes and swallowed. Although he had the support of the wolves tribe, this will not be an easy task. His sister was not afraid to die and was a worthy opponent. He would not be able to handle her alone, but maybe with ten people.

In the shelter

Kaide did not know what to do and walked back and forth. Outside you could clearly hear that a fight was going on. Dragons who had lost their master fell down. But nobody knew how it went. Was it the right choice to leave? Shouldn't we help? What was she supposed to do?

Kaida looked around, where was Rei? Maybe she can calm me down. Rei, normally the clamest, was calmed by kyro. 

mm she wouldn't be much help to me now. Will I really stay here without doing anything? 

Just then, Kaën and kayra came to her. Kayra was crying heartbreaking. And kaën was comforting her. In his eyes you could see hurt and pain.

"What's going on?"

Kaida walked over and grabbed kayra by her shoulders, and Kaën looked at Kaida and said

"my mother's dragon is gone".

Kaida's face turned pale and her eyes went wide. That could only mean one thing. No, they could not have beaten my aunt? How? I refuse to believe this!

Kayra fell to her knees and continued to cry. At this point, kaën could no longer hold his self and collapsed while he cried softly. Koto sat next to them and mourned his aunt.

Kaida walked to her mother's dragon and gently stroked her. The dragon of Kaida slept next to that of her mother.

" what should I do? I am just a child. "

"Your mother was not much older than you, when she became the mother of all dragons."

Kaida was shocked and stumbled backwards. Did she hear a voice? Where did it came from? What was that voice? She looked up and looked exactly into the eyes of her mother's dragon. No that is not possible . right? Did I hear her voice?

"The fact that you only now hear my voice means that you are not ready to become the mother of all dragons. Yet you will have to accept your task because it is certain that your mother will not make it through the night "
