These two 50-word, micro-sized stories were written for a @WattpadSeries mini-saga duology challenge. The two stories had to be 50 words or less and form a complete saga.

Rocks tumbling down, down to a snaking river. Heartbeats wild, mountain air calling to dragon blood, she opens torn wings—

Chains drag her back into prison's darkness.

Rage births fire—hope. A child.

Small enough to slide through—fall from—cell bars.

Silver wings open, freedom's promise on the wind.

Slicing through bitter air, over mountain rock—on the hunt. A near-forgotten scent fire in her throat.

Arrows fly. Men curse—then scream, her answer in dragons' tongue.

Flesh becomes ash; prison bars wax. Chains fall under vengeance's breath.

Crumpled wings unfurl from darkness—free.

Mother and daughter take flight.
