Untamed fire

I stand in the middle of my room with my eyes closed listening to a few maids talk as they pull my hair, lightly brush my eyelids, and tighten clothes around my waist. I get lost in thought thinking of what was about to take place. I Safire daughter of the late Ragthor was to be crowned Queen of Brim at sunset. I felt my inner Dragon wanting to take flight in the excitement while I was almost paralyzed in fear. I am a warrior, leader of the kings army, not a Queen. My father trained me in every form of combat I could learn, but wasn't very skilled in teaching diplomacy. I was never intended to be the heir, but after my mother died in battle and my father began my training, he saw potential. After I made my first kill at 8 years old, he announced me as the heir to his throne and eventually leader of his army. I never saw my father proud of me before that moment. Ever since, I did everything possible to become the strongest and fastest Dragon in our or any colony. I reached that goal at 17 and, just as my father said, became the leader of his army. I was feared by most and earned the name Demon Fire. I killed when needed and had no remorse. I found the smell of freshly spilled blood intoxicating. Even the thought of battle made me excited. "Your Highness?" The voice of my head maid Asia broke my thoughts. I slowly open my eyes to find myself standing before me. My onix black hair went down to my waist and had Rudy strands dancing through my hair, catching the light with my ever move. My Emerald green eyes were intensified by the jewel tone eyeshadow that was so delicately brushed onto my eyes. The dress selected for me was a dark red floor length halter top gown with a sheer black overlay making it a deep color of wine. The back was left open to allow room for my wings if I choose to extend them. In the chest just above my breasts was a key hole that exposed my pale skin. The dress was tight around every curve of my hourglass figure and gently cascaded to the floor. "I remember when I had a body like that." Admired Asia who was in her late 50s. The other maids giggled at the comment as she shot them a death glare. "Thank you for the compliment. How much longer until I have to make my entrance?" I turn the face the girls. "You have 5 minutes Lady Safire. We will take our leave now." They all go down stairs as Asia ushers them out of the room. I take a deep sigh as I look out over my patio. There are crowds of people gathered outside the walls of the palace waiting for the news that their Queen has been crowned. "This is it. Father, mother... I swear that I will protect our people and continue to help them grow." I reach the door, turn the handle, and begin to descend to the throne room. As I begin my descent I head the crowd waiting in the throne room for my arrival and crowning. Their conversations blending together into a hum of sound. As I got closer to the room, my friend and army captain Clement saw me and announced my arrival. "Attention honored guests! I am proud to announce the arrival of Lady Safire daughter of the late King Ragthor!" He yelled into the room. The crowd fell silent as I entered the room. I saw Dragons from many colonies in both their human and half human forms. Many lords and ladys choose to keep their wings and horns exposed as a sign of respect. As I made. My way across the room they cleared a path and bowed to me as I passed by. Half way across the room I could see the elder waiting for me to arrive and start the ceremony. Next to the throne was the Fire Stone which was the symbol of my peoples King or Queen. The gem is said to make the holder more powerful in order to protect its people. I finally reached the end of the room and bow to the elder for the last timeand take my place in front of the throne. "Today we gather to bestow the Fire Stone to Lady Safire daughter of the late King Ragthor!" He turns around and delicately picked up the Fire Stone and faces me. "This will burn, but i think you will be fine." He smirked as he turned to show the crowd the gem. They stood in awe as the elder turned back to me and held the gem over the exposed skin of my chest through the key hole. I could feel the heat coming from the Stone. He began to press the gem into my flesh and I hiss from the burning sensation. It felt as though he was pressing a hot coal straight from the fire onto my chest. I could feel my skin start to merge with the edges of the Stone as the elder retreated and moved next to the throne. The heat began to subside as I felt a new strength travel through my body. I released my black wings and extended them 6 feet on each side my my body. My horns emerged from the top of my head and swept back in a wave like motion. "I am Queen Safire of Brim!" I roared and released my flame breath into the air in a stream. The crowd followed my lead. "Long live Queen Safire or Brim!" The cheered in unison and joined their flame breath with mine. I heard the cheers and roars from the crowds outside the palace walls as they celebrated their new Queen. I calmed my flame and took my seat in my throne. I wave my hand to signify the waiters to enter and the music to begin. Food and drinks on trays began to flood from the side rooms as waiters catered to our quests. Music began to play from speakers hidden throughout the room. One by one I was congratulated by the lords and ladys of every colony. I eventually finished speaking to each person and watched them enjoy drinking, eating, and dancing. I started to plan my take over of the colonies as they partied. I knew they were here either out of fear or respect for my father, but they held no loyalty to me. I knew I had to enforce my rule as so many others have in the past. I was the Queen for the largest colony and territory, but that did not mean that the others wouldn't attempt to dethrone me. I had to act quickly and planned to start training the forces first thing in the morning to complete my take over of this world.
