"He'll change his mind!" I ignored the wailing. It was a lie, and we both knew it. It had been hundreds of years since the dragon king had been taking humans for the Trial of Fire. She was putting on a show at this point. I looked up as a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and closed my eyes. My brother was too young to do much, even if he got out of his coma. My father was dead, and his widow was useless. I would have to make a plan forward to make sure my brother would survive the mess his mother had made. I glared at her, glanced at the grave, and turned away.

The stories said that the Dragon King had fallen into a deep sleep, and in the years since, the regent of the empire had been bringing in human girls to find a true queen. It was dumb. I had always thought it was just a scare tactic. It wasn't like they demanded girls from the upper class for the trial. I closed my eyes, remembering a cousin who had been brought back. There was no way even to tell it was actually her. I shuddered, knowing that I would end up the same way. I sighed, trying to push that thought away, watching the mountains come closer.

"Lady Ari, please be respectful," an attendant said firmly. "She had passed the Trial of Fire." She sneered at me. I returned her dismissive look. Ari flushed. "Even if that's true, my brother deserves better," she snarled. "You have no right to wear the queen's colors, human!" I narrowed my eyes. "Is that because you want to wear them?" She snarled and drew a sword. The attendants went still, but I darted forward, striking her in the wrist. She let the sword go, and I snatched it out of the air. Ari stumbled and tried to swipe at me, but I dodged and shoved her back into the wall, then pressed the blade to Ari's throat. Ari gasped and flashed her sharp teeth.
