Mercy looked at the girl who had spoken with minor disgust; she didn’t need a reminder of the events that were unfolding. She had already contemplated own her death a thousand times over. She should have died years ago, but she was still here. She could cheat death again if she had to. She didn’t need these people to try and save her. Everyone sat in an eerie silence, nobody dared to speak out. Everyone settled into their own state of shock. Everyone tried to be brave, but the fear was clear in people’s eyes.
Mercy bit down on her lip and cursed under her breath. She looked at the girl and looked around at the rest. “Obviously, but stating it doesn’t change the fact. Does it?” She spat, her eyes shining carelessly, as if she was almost pleased. She smirked and her eyes settled on the door. She had no plan and didn’t know where her word would take her. She needed to stop herself before she got too far. If she continued like this she wouldn’t be able to stop.
She breathed and exhaled a sharp breath. She leaned against the side of the wooden cart, regaining her thoughts. She seemed less hostile, but her spark of annoyance was still lingering in her voice. “Best not be afraid, they are smarter than they look. They can tell everything about you.” She brushed her fingers through her hair and felt her long thin black horns as she did. She wasn’t interested in speaking anymore. She simply tried to forget like everyone else. Try to ignore everything around her.

The cart sat in silence and they were quickly moved along when they arrived inside of the dragon’s city. They were all grouped together and led out of the cart in an orderly fashion. The woman with white eyes led the group forward into the city. She past by guards effortlessly, nobody questioned the woman, it was clear she had authority over most of them. The group was led past large walls as a large gust of wind pushed them back of a large blue scaled dragon as it swept through the sky and dipped down. Nobody fell over, but a few of the younger children were shifted back, covering their faces in fear.
The city itself looked as if it was made of glass. The structures were large glass panels that reflected back at them like mirrors. There was dragons that walked along and flew across on there normal days. Some were smaller than humans and others were large beasts, there scales seemed to shimmer in the dim light of the late night. There was no sign of human life passing by, but the cities looked beautiful under the moonlight. This was the dragon’s capitol. This was where they would die.
The blind woman led the through the town, there was some dragons that snarled in disgust as the group walked by and others who seemed to look almost sad. It seemed as if the city was split into many sides. They were led into the only normal looking building. The group was led inside the large glass building that had closed in walls and a narrow door. It was unlike the other buildings, it looked like a large skyscraper made of glass, instead of one that was open.
