Prompt and Intro: Inferno's Friends
[Beastwars Inferno]
I am Inferno, and I do not have friends.
There are those who would claim that my colony-mates are my friends, but they do not understand. Though we all work, rest, and live under one ruler, in one colony, my fellow soldiers do not see the world the way I do. They say that I am damaged; that I am wrong and that I am too dysfunctional to know the difference. These are not the sort of things friends would say. No matter how damaged I may be, I know this.
The only one who has never looked down upon me is Waspinator, and I cannot tell if that is simply because he is as damaged as I, or if it is because of something deeper. I do not mind spending idle hours with him, even if the ever-present Princess Terrorsaur sets me on edge. It is his prerogative as an aspirant Queen, of course, but that does not mean I enjoy his arrogance or his constant preening.
And then there's Scorponok! He is ALWAYS competing with me for the Queen's attention! If I did not know any better, I would think he wishes to become a drone. Though I do feel the colony needs to expand, it is irritating to be constantly put-down and blamed for his failures. Truly, with friends like these, who needs enemies?
If it were not for the Queen's reassuring presence, I feel as though I would falter.
