Royals - Chapter 2

Prince Crimson decides to face his fears and go to Archemorus' Temple with Prince Ember.

         Today was the day, the day I would finally be let outside kingdom territory. Little did I know that I would be doing something much more frightening...
After I went down the elevators, (yes, plural.) Prince Ember already made me breakfast, because we really wanted to have an adventure.

I sat down and started eating my plate of fried eggs and bacon as fast as possible.

"So-CHOMP, what do you-MUNCH to do-CHOMP today?" I asked.

"Well-MUNCH, I was-CHOMP figuring we should-CHOMP go to Archemorus' Temple again." Prince Ember said.

It sounds like the perfect adventure, right?

Well, it's NOT.

Let me explain it to you. Archemorus is an extremely powerful and large dragon. Legend has it that he once killed the monstrous King Aegon, who ruled the sky with an iron fist. If you say "drag-on" or "dragon" three times, you'll summon Archemorus. Even King Garnet shudders when he hears his name.

The only time I came there was with King Garnet, and I got severely injured due to the booby traps.

But the thrill of my first adventure overtook the fear.

I took a big breath in and said, "Let's do this, Prince Ember."

We ate our breakfast as fast as we could, then reminded King Garnet that we were leaving.

"Ok kids, have the adventure of a lifetime!" He said.

We got out the door, but a random dragon tripped us.

"What are you up to?" They asked, suspiciously.

"We're going to Archemorus' Temple."

"Sure. I'll give you twenty bucks if you survive..."

"It's on."

We eventually got out the door.

Ember looked at his map. "It appears that Archemorus' Temple is just 10 paces away."

"Which means-"

And there it was, towering tens of thousands of feet before us.

"That's... big..."

We entered the temple. As we were walking by, we saw a table the size of King Garnet times twenty.

"Any dragon who lives here must be very big." Ember said, as we were entering the summoning room.

"Shh! You said dragon!"

"Well, I hope that doesn't drag on..." He said, annoyed.

"WHAT HAVE YOU-"

A large cyan laser shot into the sky, then large pieces of debris pieced together, resembling a enormous dragon. Amber and I stepped back. It then "faded into existence."

There he was. A towering dragon with coal-black eyes, and ebony-colored scales stood before us.
