Here is the prologue:
Queen Arina, the ruler of Eyortha, one of the three dominant Dragon Kingdoms, lay in her cave. She had brought forth an egg and the youngster inside was to be the heir to the dominion. Arina had to guard the egg with her life and she was very willing to do so. The birth of her child delighted her and a smile spread across her face for the first time in many years.
Maybe the dragon inside my egg will find a rider. Oh, we could beat the entire Dominion of Tyrol, with my child by my side, she thought.
A deep voice woke her from her daydreams. She looked up to see a dragon, with rich gold scales, and a Tryolen crown on his head, standing inside her cave. It was her enemy, but it was also her brother. His horrible voice made her recoil.
“Hendiax” She growled. “I banished you from my cave centuries ago.”
“I am here to claim the dragon-dome that is rightfully mine!” cried Hendiax. When their father, Slanthgar died, Eyortha chose Arina as queen, even though Hendiax was the eldest. Hendiax had become king of Eyortha’s rival, Tyrol, the second dominant Dragon Kingdom. But Hendiax was not forgiving, and he had returned for revenge.
He sprang at his sister, attempting to knock her out. Arina growled, and leaped into the air, she wasn’t going to give up Eyortha to a traitor without a fight. Her massive wings beating hard, she snarled at the dragon in front of her, and spit flames furiously.
He’s going for the egg!, she realized. She dove down after him, but she was too late, she had fallen into his trap. Hendiax gripped the egg in his claws, and flew up to the top of the cave.
“Oh, Arina. If your child is born in Tyrol, Tyrol will win the ever-lasting battle within the Dragon Kingdoms. Your child will be a traitor, and he or she wont even know it.” Hendiax smirked. Arina tried to bite him in desperation, but Hendiax had the advantage. If Arina gave him a lethal blow, her egg would smash, and a dragon could only have an egg every five centuries.
No!, Arina had no choice, she had to choose between her life, or her egg. She was going to teleport the egg to her mother, who ruled the third dominant Dragon Kingdom, Emena.
Anywhere is better then here, she thought, and I am sure mother will look after my darling child. So, she reached inside herself, gripping the magic in her heart. Her horn started glowing.
“Cratenza Pentola” She cried. With an enraged cry, Hendiax realized what she had done, and flew towards her, trying to break her horn, and stop the magic. The egg vanished in a puff of purple smoke. In his rage, Hendiax flew towards Arina at full speed, and cut her horn in half. Arina had precious few seconds of her life left.“I name you Artemis, my child, wherever you are.” Then, with one last cry, Arina fell to the floor.
What do you think?
