Fueled by the vengeance she had been brought up with, Sombrana, one of Oscura’s highest-ranking generals, vowed not only to return Princess Kiriad to Queen Oscura’s custody, but to extract her own personal revenge.

Unlike the other dragons, Sombrana was a bottle of rage and arrogance.  While normal dragon philosophy was to maintain a cool control of their emotions, Sombrana allowed her emotions to run free.  It was this trait that usually got her in trouble with her dragon sisters.

This time was no exception.  Since the tigers had, at most, only a day start and were traveling on foot, the dragons had the advantage.  It would take them almost no time at all to catch up to the invaders through flight.

Once again, Red, Schaddig, and Chiara accompanied Sombrana on their mission to recapture the princess.  They caught up to the tiger rescue team quickly, and attacked instantly.

But the tigers were prepared for any pursuers.  While the first half of Scyde’s plan was to extract Princess Kiriad from the dragon kingdom, the second half required that a large battalion meet them after they had traveled a day’s journey out from the Queen’s abode.

As the dragon quartet swooped in for the Princess, Scyde’s battalion sprung to life in a surprise attack.  The ambush was successful, catching all four dragons off guard.  Overpowered and outnumbered, Sombrana and her crew knew the only option they had was retreat.  Red, Chiara and Schaddig managed to escape.

Sombrana was not so lucky...
