Wings of Sorrow

Chapter 1


Katherine








Someones coming...




A tall man enters my room. Father




'Katherine, it's time to go.' I nod, I bet he means time to go hunt some dragons.
My father is the chief of the Doso's clan, so as far as i can remember i've been hunting dragons with my family since i was 7 years old.
'KATHERINE, come on!' This time it's my younger sister Eleonara who is clearly annoyed.
I step out of my room, my Dark curls falling under my shoulders.
Eleanora is wearing her usual hunting dress, while her hair is put in a perfect bun.


We step out of our castle, the fog making us advance blindly to our destination. I take one last look toward our castle hiding by the endless fog, making the castle invisible to the rest of the Shadow's kingdom.


My brother Drew is the only member of the Doso's clan who doesn't come hunting with us. He's always too busy preparing plans to terminate Pristina's kingdom and the Prist's clan. Of course who can blame him when he's the heir to the Shadow's kingdom. He's only one year older than me.


'KATHERINE WATCH OUT'


I suddenly turn my head. A dragon is charging towards me, but it's not just a common dragon, it's a silver sword dragon. Not the rarest but still pretty rare and dangerous mostly because of their tail with a sword shape.


I duck at the last minute, his tail missing me by inches.
'Eleonora, the bow, hurry!' My sister grabs a bow from her pack and throws it towards me in a swift movement. I grab the bow before it hits the ground, I reach behind my back or my silver arrows, I place them perfectly into the bow. I take a deep breath and focus on the dragon now charging for another hit, I prepare myself to shoot calmly looking at the dragon.


Blood


I hit the dragon on his right wing, a perfect shot. The dragon starts losing height, until it falls right in front of my feet unconscious but not dead.
'Hurry someone bring me a rope.' My father grabs the pack and pulls out a large job. He tosses it to me. 'Hmm. This should do' I grab the rope and start tying the rope around the dragon. 'Well is any of you going to help me or am i going to have to do everything myself'
'Katherine...' My sister's voice seems worried. I sigh it's probably another one of her "funny" jokes. 'Stop your bullshit and help me carry this baby' I sigh when she doesn't move. 'Okay I'm here wha-' I look down and see not one but two silver swords.
I grab my sister's arm and pull her 'RUN!' We start running as fast as we can, the silver swords catching more speed every second until one stops suddenly. Wait, that means he's going to attack.
Before we can even react a ball of fire comes crashing towards us. We duck at the last minute, not losing a second to escape and continue running until we arrive at the edge of the cliff. I look at my sister, her eyes scream terror. I take a deep breath before grabbing my sister's hand and jumping.


The high fall makes my back sting in pain from the fall, I ignore the pain focusing on finding my sister. 'ELEONORA?' Panic sweeps through my veins when there's no response. I feel my eyes filling up with tears.


Someone comes out of the water


'ELEONORA!' I hurry swimming through the water to get to her. 'Eleonora, are you okay, don't ever scare me like that' I pull her into a tight hug, which I don't do often. 'Hey, I'm okay, let's get back to the castle' she grabs my hand to pull me out of the water.
Our father was nowhere to be seen, so I guess he was already in the castle leaving us to fight the dragons alone.
