Flare has always enjoyed the spotlight on her. Loves having cheering, adoring fans flocking and fanning themselves over her. The praises and gifts they give to her and all she does in return is perform for them. As much she loved the popstar lifestyle, she herself has an ultimate goal.

To become Dragonlord herself. It's no surprise that the siblings, especially the two eldest, are competing among themselves to someday have the chance to take over their parents’ place.

But when it comes to Flare and Igneous, since day one of her birth, they have been competing and fighting the most. Cinder, as powerful as he was and does have a very good chance for Dragonlord himself, doesn't even want it and is more content with maintaining the Library and dragon knowledge. Forge is in the race but he isn't as physically strong as Gorge - who rather tends to the mines and hoard his gems and his females.

But with Flare and Iggy, they had been the most volatile to each other.

Flare was in her frozen room. Most dragons do not go in her bedroom because she had made it into an icy, frozen wonderland. She is immune to the freezing sub zero temperatures.

She was in a corner of her room, on her video editing station and computer, trying to come up with music she could make for her thousands of fans. Making this area warm enough so her equipment wouldn't break.

“Howling in the moonlight, going across the river bed…. No, that's shit.” Flare said, crossing out what she has written down.

She hears a sound, ears flickered, looking over her shoulders. She listened for a second, thought it was nothing and turned back to her station.

Another shout followed and another till the point Flare couldn't ignore it.

Sighing annoyingly, she gets up her chair, crosses the snowy floor up to her door. Seeing more ice had accumulated on it. Her eyes glowed and a wave of her hands, the ice evaporated to where she could get out with ease.

Flare listened out in the hallway, still hearing the sounds continued on. She recognized where the sounds were coming from, coming from the dungeons.

She knew father and Cinder managed to capture one of the assassins alive. Thinking the bastard was being interrogated, but something told her it was different.

With a sniff, Flare goes to investigate, paying this member of Crow's Talon a visit.

The palace was used to the harsh sounds of others being interrogated. When it comes to dragons, they are loyal to whomever they work for and it takes time for them to crack. Usually after they give up everything, they wouldn't be subjected anymore and their wounds tended to, giving them some sort of respect.

The sounds however she was hearing, didn't sound like an interrogation.

She gets to where the dungeons were, seeing the guards that were supposed to guard the prisoner.

“Who said you can leave your posts?” The princess asked them as the pained cries continued to echo out. She could hear the guy begging whatever was doing to him to stop.

But it didn't.

The two guards looked at each other and looked at the princess. “Prince Igneous. He said the Dragonlord told him he was taking the lead.”

Flare's eyes widened. “No he did not you two idiots!”

There was always a rule, never let Iggy handle the prisoners. “Get my father here, now!” She ordered, sending the two running to find Spike while she ran in the dungeons.

The screams of agony were more excruciating and sobs coherently. Can hear the sounds of a knife clinking on the scales.

She gets to the cell and stops dead in her tracks, seeing the horrific scene unfolding in front of her.

The prisoner was lying on his stomach on a stone table bare naked, limbs were secured with chains most dragons this size cannot break, fingers were cut, scales and pieces of flesh were carved off of him and scattered on the bloody stained floor. The male was screaming as his torturer, the prince, was physically sawing his wing off right from the base with a handsaw. The other one was already on the floor, severed from the prisoner's body.

Igneous by now had blood clinging to his fur, though his eyes were emotionless, he had this dark, sadistic glee on his face.

“Igneous!” Flare roared as he finished sawing through the bone and the wing fell. The prisoner gasped and shook as he was going into shock from his wounds.

“Get out of here, Flare, this doesn't concern you.” Iggy said as he tossed the bloody saw on the table next to the rest of his devices, some already been used.

“You're not supposed to be in here.” Flare grunted, throwing up an ice barrier around the prisoner to separate the two males.

Iggy's eyes and head spikes began glowing as he glared at his sister. The heat coming off of him started to melt the ice some.

“These fuckers tortured and killed my mate, I'm just giving this bastard the same treatment, get out of here, now.” He snarled, stepping towards her with dark intent.

“Lake was my friend too, asshole, and she would not agree to this.” Flare said, activating her frost abilities. “You gonna hurt me like you hurt mom?”

Igneous got inches in her face. “Shut the fuck up, you don't know what the hell you're talking about!”

“How about you take responsibility for your actions and not blame everyone else, prick?”

Snarling, he took a swing with his fist at her. Flare ducks from his swing, grabbing his arm and throwing him into the wall behind her.

With a shout, Igneous turns and attacks her.

Fire and ice gets thrown around in the dungeons, the two physically going at it once to attack the other.

Flare freezes the floor, causing her brother to trample and slip on the ice. Iggy slams his fists on the ice, a blast wave of intense heat and light bursts out of him, sending Flare flying into one of the cell doors.

She barely had time to gather herself before Iggy tackled her, breaking through the door and pinned her to the ground.

Flare breathed ice and snow at his face, causing severe frostbite on his face before she kicked him off.

Iggy quickly rebounds, purple energy coursing through his body before shooting fire at her.

Flare threw up another ice barrier to block the flames. With a flick of her wrist, the snow and ice accumulated from the fight, created a large ice golem that came behind Iggy, grabbed him in a bear hug and slammed him down on the floor.

Iggy let out a shout before he was consumed in a blinding white light, sending out another shockwave, this time causing the golem to shatter and melt on impact.

He goes to charge at Flare before someone jumps on him from behind.

Igneous grabs them by the back of their neck, slams them over his shoulder and slams his fists down hard on their face.

“IGGY STOP!” Flare shouted, realizing who he was beating up.

Igneous slammed his fists down a few more times before realizing who it was.

Writhing and whimpering, face covered in bruises and blood was Splinter!

Cinder's mate….

Seeing the fear in the meeker Dragon's face, his body shivering. A brief flash in Iggy's eyes and he's suddenly seeing his mother in a similar state, looking up at her own son in terror ten years ago.

Realizing what he has done, Iggy moves away from Splinter, body shaking as he knows what is about to happen to him again.

He hears footsteps approaching the cell. Spike and a few other guards came running in, he stopped with a gasp. Seeing the state of his son-in-law, daughter and actual son.

Before anything was said, Iggy used all his magic energy he had, consumed in his own flame tornado, breaking past through the barriers keeping him in the Palace and teleports out.

Igneous soon reappeared somewhere outside on his hands and knees.

What did I do? What the fuck did I just do??? Igneous thought as his body shook.

The blue skies suddenly turned dark as black clouds began forming above Dragon's Lair. Yellow lightning cracked loudly in the clouds as rain began to fall, the wind was picking up harshly.

Igneous knew this was not a natural occurrence.

Lightning struck the ground all around him before one bolt hit in front of him, Cinder appeared and instantly grabbed his brother by the horns and slammed his knee into his face before throwing him across the ground with a shout.

“You fucking lay a hand on my mate you piece of fucking shit!” Cinder roared as he came up to Igneous, kicking him in the stomach with his taloned hooves so hard, Iggy felt the electrical shock painfully coursed through his body, sending him flying more, sliding across the muddy ground.

“Cin, wait, he shouldn't have-” Cinder cuts Iggy out when he shot a concentrated blast of lightning out of his mouth, electricity blasting Iggy in the chest as he was trying to get up.

Cinder just began beating the living hell out of his older brother, keeping him subdued with the electricity and using his fists and hooves on him.

Eventually his bun came undone and his hair fell over his shoulders as he wailed on him.

One does not lay a hand on another's mate, ever!

Cinder then stepped back from his brother, his wings flapped hard and he went in the air. He stuck his claw out up in the air. He gathered an enormous amount of lightning. With a shout, he throws it down on his brother, knocking Igneous out completely

Igneous slowly opens his eyes with a painful groan. Lights from the braziers hurting him. His whole body hurt.

When his eyes focused, he saw his father was standing over him. Iggy tried to speak but he was quickly silenced.

“You're not going to talk but listen, for once.” Spike said, with this intense anger, guilt and disappointment look at his first born. “What you have been doing ends now, I won't tolerate this behavior of yours any more.”

Igneous tried to move but he felt like he couldn't. He turned his head to look away but stopped, not too far from him, he saw his mother still in healing stasis, his eyes softened. Realizing he was in the infirmary wing of the palace.

“If you don't address this, you will be lost and I don't want to lose you, Igneous.” Spike said, watching his reactions. “Either you change your behavior and let us help you, or you won't survive much longer.”

Igneous trembled softly, unable to do anything.

Officially hitting rock bottom.

Author's Note

Piss off Flare, you get Elsa. Piss off Cinder, and you pretty much facing the wrath of Zeus.

Iggy got Damian’s temper, Cinder had Brimstone's personality of sorts if anyone has caught the similarities.
