The first battle

Upon hearing these words, Kaida collapsed with her arms in front of her mouth. What? my mother wil not make it through the night? How is that possible? Did my mother know her fate? Probably yes and she had accepted her fate. Then Kaida thought about her mother's words. Was she supposed to enjoy her birthday for this? Tears ran down her cheeks.

"Admonish yourself crown princess I give you the chance to see your mother before she takes her last breath. However, the condition is that you can only take 5 warriors with you "

Kaida looked up. "Do I get the chance to save her?"

"No, that is not what your mother wanted. She only wanted her people to be safe. I give you the chance to get the knowledge of your mother to become the mother of all dragons. However, it is an art that you will have to make your own. And that takes time. If you can not keep the dragons in line, chaos will follow."

Kaida was not happy with this answer and did not see the point if she could not save her mother. But she could not go against her mother's request. Her mother must have had her reasons.

"How long will I need?"

"That's something I do not know. As soon as I have let you out, I will let the remaining dragons fall into a deep sleep inside this cave. When there is someone strong enough to become the mother of the dragons, we will wake up by ourself. The dragon dance wil speed up the process. Bear in mind that the dragons tribe will lose a strong ally and this can be detrimental in the rising war. And i will perish with your mother so i will not wake up. "

"You got so much support and you're still no match for me"

the Queen walked to the man who was lying on the floor.

"Why brother? Where did it go wrong?"

The Queen looked down with a sombre look in her eyes. 

Even though he had his bad deeds, she loved him. Because their mother died early she raised her two brothers and sister.  She was the one who sat next to his bed when he was sick.

The man looked at her with cold-blooded eyes, there was no trace of love in his eyes. Rather hate and a lot of hate. Its only one against so many, en she is still too strong. But this I knew therefore I have a trump card. the look in his eyes changed and became warm.

"Sister you know how my nature is. I'm just bad. Yet I have not forgotten how much love you have given me. With my injuries I will not make it through the night. Still, I would like to have one last hug from my big sister"

The man knew her weakness and knew she would give in. 

I will go peacefully if I can take her with me. If only she did not refuse to make me king, then this would not happen. But instead she told me i was not fit to be a king!

The queen approached him and sank beside him. She looked at him. Did he really think she did not notice? Only when he is dead will this end. Unfortunately, it will not end the war but it will end his suffering. 

She leaned forward to embrace him, just at that moment she felt a sharp pain in her side. She looked at the man and smiled as she hugged him.

"My dear little brother"

Kaida ran up the square and looked around. This was her first battlefield and it was overwhelming. She became light-headed and did not know what to do.

Kaën was on his knees next to his mother and kayra was crying on her chest. Their mother looked so peaceful.

The square was full of dead and wounded warriors. it was clear to see that there had been a fight.

the square which was full of love and celebration a couple of hours ago, was now full of grief and pain.

Was this the result of a war? are these the times that are coming?

none of the wolf tribe warriors were still alive. The big wolf where my uncle was sitting on, when he came laid lifeless in the middle of the square.

This was the first time that Kaida saw a wolf of the wolf tribe. they were indeed big and terrifying.

"Kaida, come quickly"

Rei and Kyro stood next the queen. Kaida came and sank down beside her mother, her mother had a wound in her side, but it was not a wound that could kill a warrior like her mother.

"why?"

"Do not cry honey, you must be strong. Especially now that the dragons are not here. I have an important task for you. you have to travel with the rest of our people to my other brother. You are safe there. Do not worry about your father, he will save himself. Your uncle will teach you everything you need to learn "

Kaida looked at her mother and wept.

"Mom the wound is not so bad. You will not die here! You are too strong for that ".

Her mother smiled

"if it had only been that wound, then I could have given birth to five more children for your father. However, the knife that stabbed me was treated with poison."

Her mother looked at the sky and smiled

"What would I have liked to see your father again. I pray that my children will find love like their parents " 

at that moment the queen blew her last breath.

Kaida and the warriors who survived the battlefield cried and mourned their fallen queen.
