As the queen made her appearance Jasper felt her entire form tense, this was not her childhood friend from years ago. She was completely grown up now, sure still dwarfed her when it came to her height. But she could tell her friend had kept up with her training after all of these years. “We’ve been sent by the high council, rumors have been spreading about your kingdom and we’ve been sent to find out what is truly going on.” Something wasn’t right, why was the queen staying so far away instead of coming down the steps to meet them.<br/><br/>Then everything clicked, Jasper heard literally triggered clicking and things flying into the air. Soon her drag was pinned under the large durable nets, growling low in her throat Jasper moved to draw her sword, ready to defend herself only for another net to blind side her. Knocking her sword out of her hand and pinning her to the ground, rage burned through her veins as she struggled against the netting trying to break free.<br/><br/>The guards moved quickly surrounding her, each shouting at each other to get the cuffs on and the chains attached, soon a dozen young men dragged her to the throne room, battling her with each step as she fought back. They should be welcoming her! She was a dragon rider and that was suppose to mean something! She wasn’t suppose to be treated like this!<br/><br/>Forced to kneel Jasper found herself in front of the throne, her hands chained to the ground keeping her on her knees and not giving her any ability to move. She wished the guards had removed the helmet, she wished they had seen her face maybe.. Maybe her old friend would have changed her mind at the rough treatment. But then again the queen  seemed to be displeased by the riders being in her kingdom and wanted to punish them in every way possible.<br/><br/>The throne room was still grand as it ever been, the columns standing tall with the kingdoms banners hanging from the ceilings. The stones looked as if they were polished and well kept, but it meant nothing, nothing while she was chained to the floor. Growling Jasper ground her teeth together as she jerked at the chains over and over, she would break free these damned chains wouldn’t be able to hold her she would make the idiots pay and she would confront the queen about this rash treatment.
