Blackness. That is all I see. Blackness so pure, that I can hardly tell the difference between when my eyes are closed or open. What are eyes? The things I see out of... But how do I know that? I really don't have the faintest idea.

I have no memory of where I came from or how I got here, but I know things; like how I'm a female dragon. Type of dragon, now that is totally unknown. But I am a dragon. Or how I know about eyes. I know what eyes are. And talons, and wings, and all of my other body parts. But I don't remember learning them.

Or how about the surface under my talons at this very second: Rock. Hard, cold, jagged rock. But why? Why am I on rock? I slowly try to stand up, for I have been in a sitting for as long as I can remember. My talons grip the surface of the rock, then my tail hits a wall, then my left wing does the same, then the right. I carefully reach my front talon forward, scared that it might give the same disappointment as the other three, and it touches more rock. I slump back down. I'm fully encased in rock... I feel around with my talons, the wall seems to be curved... So does the ground...In a rock sphere actually. I observe. Why a sphere though? Am I in a cage? A boulder? I feel around some more, there is no sign of an opening anywhere.

Suddenly, I feel the sphere lurch, then I feel like I'm falling... Falling fast. Then it starts to get hot, real hot. I feel a drop of sweat form at my horns, then fall down my face. I pant. This falling feeling, along with hot... Am I being dropped into lava?! No... Maybe... Yes. That must be it! Wait, no... Then I wouldn't be falling this fast... I must be falling in air... You know, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that I get out of here!

My dry, cracked talons start to hit the rock as my instincts start to kick in. I have to get out of here! Then my tail coils into a spiral, it's huge spike on the end tucking itself in, before it uncoils amazingly fast, hitting the rock with a WHUMP! Silence washes over me like a blanket as my talons stop hitting. Then, cccrrrack! A crack in the rock! I command my tail to repeat it's procedure as I slowly turn, letting it hit all sides of the rock. Crack! Craaack! Crack crack!

"Yes!" I say for the first time. My voice is crackly, like it hasn't been used in ages. But the rock doesn't give way underneath me. All I hear is the sound of something breaking off, the outer shell of the rock? Yes, that must be it. I am falling faster now, and my head starts to whirl as the heat becomes unbearable. I collapse.

Perhaps I should just kill myself now, before the rock and heat does it painfully for me. Perhaps if I just fall asleep this will all be over... And that's when the rock made impact, and I blacked out.

Sorry that this chapter was so unbelievably short! I normally try to make them longer :) It was hard to make this one longer though, it's kinda like the third prologue! Wow, too may prologues...
