• I gazed out at the courtyard, and watched as the servants and peasants got ready for my coronation. This wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted to be sworn in without a fuss, but my parents NEVER listen to my wishes. I'm still a child to them, and that annoys me to NO END!!!!
    As I stood there fuming, Flametongue, the Dragon of Ancients, swooped down into the courtyard.
    <Is something wrong, young Moon?> he asked me. I shook my head, but he saw through the lie. <You don't like all this fuss, do you?>
    "No, I don't!" I said angrily. "There is no reason to be so happy over yet another Queen who has no mate! I'm a failure!"
    <Actually, your soulmate is closer than you think,> he replied. I was confused. What the hell? I had no mate!
    Then I heard a voice behind me. "Hi, Moon." I spun around. Ugh! FIREDANCER IS MY SOULMATE?!
    "You're kidding," I mutter.
    "Apparently, Flametongue thinks we're soulmates," he said. "But that's impossible. We're from rival clans!"
    <That doesn't mean anything...>
    Well, my parents are going to love this.....
