guys (and girls), I am so sorry for being late (again) for getting this chapter out. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it!

                                                                                              -with regrets, Qibli.

Simmer and Cloudjumper waited for the guards to finish counting the swords.

"995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000" the soldier counted. "They are all here." The soldier stated. Cloudjumper breathed out a sigh of relief. Simmer did likewise.

"No, there not." Queen scarlet said.

There not? The soldier Simmer and Cloudjumper said in complete unison.

"You forgot my personal sword," the Queen said like she was talking to an idiot. I forgot the Sword!!! It completely slipped my mind!

"Your majesty, I have not finished the sword yet. May I have some more time to work on it?" Cloudjumper asked.

"no." the Queen said flatly. "We had an agreement. If you did not bring the swords in time, you will be punished. Guards! Seize these traitors and throw them in the dungeon!"

"RUN!" Cloudjumper yelled at Simmer. Simmer ran outside and flew out before any guards could stop him. Cloudjumper tried to do the same, but he got caught. Cloudjumper noticed before he got knocked out that the guard that stopped him was the same one that counted the swords. There was a loud THUNK! And everything went black. Cloudjumper woke up in a prison cell. It was damp and smelled like rotting dragons. Cloudjumper knew instantly that he was in the underground prisons. Cloudjumper walked up to the front of the cell, the bars were thick and strong. Recognizing the metal Cloudjumper knew that there would be no use in breathing fire on it. it was an EXTREMELY heat resistant metal. The last time Cloudjumper worked with the metal, he melted the forge before he even got the metal soft. He surveyed his cell with distaste. There was a large rock slap for sleeping on the left side of the cell, on the other side there was a hole that reeked of dragon feces. On the top right corner, there is a small fountain for cleaning claws. What a luxurious home. Cloudjumper thought sarcastically. Cloudjumper looked over to the cell in front of him. He saw an old Skywing That had the same orangy-red scales as Cloudjumper. The old dragon looked up and said,

"Well, you're a new one."

"Great observation skills dad," Cloudjumper said calmly.

"That's not how you address your father!" The old Dragon said teasingly. "How'd you get in here. Or should I say why?"

"Long story" Cloudjumper replied.

"We have a long time in here" The old Dragon countered.

"Alright, I guess we don't have much else to do." Cloudjumper stared telling his father the events that had transpired. When Cloudjumper finished talking, Cloudjumper's father looked at him smugly.

"And what are you smiling at Ezio?" Cloudjumper snaped.

"I am just smiling at how pathetically you got in here," Ezio said calmly.

"Well, at least I didn't fail at trying to poison the Queen."

"You know full well that it is almost impossible for someone not to notice a dragon poisoning food in the kitchen."

"MOM WAS THE HEAD CHIEF!!!" Cloudjumper yelled at his father.

"Hey! Stop yelling!" a guard said from the end of the cells. Cloudjumper and his father fell silent. Cloudjumper walked to his rock that was a bed. He laid down on it and fell asleep.

I know! what a twist! I bet you people never expected that!
