After a long and gruelling magic lesson, forced to exhaust my mana and replenish it the entire time, I went to leave with everyone else. As I did, Terry called me back over, "Miss Hastus, I'd like to talk to you."

I held back my frustration and anger and walked back over to him. He made me stand there in silence until everyone else left, "Now everyone else has gone, I wanted to see if you're willing to apologise to me now?"

"What do I have to apologise for, sir...!"

"For your rude behaviour before class and earlier today."

I snapped, hearing him ask for an apology for that, "Why would I have to apologise to you for your arrogance! We wouldn't be talking now if you weren't so full of yourself and expected someone else to apologise for your terrible personality!"

Terry smirked at my outburst, "I didn't hear an apology during that. I guess you want to keep up the higher level of training. I'm going to teach you to respect your superiors. Until you do, you can expect difficult lessons

  • A Dragons Heart   The form

    After we finished the first half of our classes, Tasha and I started heading to the cafeteria. While walking there, I remembered Garry told me to go to the student council room to pick up the form to join, "Tasha, I'll meet you at the cafeteria. I need to go do something first." "What do you need to do?" I tried to put on a fake smile, "I just need to pick up a form. I won't be too long." Tasha could tell something was off about me but wasn't sure what, "Ok, just make sure you're not too long. You can't miss lunch." "Ok, I'll make sure I'm back with plenty of time to sit down and eat with you." After I said that, Tasha and I started walking in different directions. It didn't take me long before I arrived outside the student council room. When I walked inside, there was only one person in the room. He was tall with grey eyes and white pink-coloured hair. When he saw me enter, he asked, "Can I help you with something?" "I'm Sasha Hastus. Garry told me to come here to get a form to

    Later that day, on the way home, Tasha was mainly oblivious to my depressed mood, so she was happily looking out the carriage window. On the other hand, Tom could tell that something was weighing heavily on my mind, "Sash, what's got you so upset?" "It's nothing important..." "Please tell me. I might be able to help in some way." "Please just leave it for once. It's nothing you can help me with. I can handle it on my own anyway." "How can you be so sure I can't help if you don't tell me the problem?" "Just trust me, you can't help me with this, so just drop it." After I said that, I could feel the carriage coming to a stop, so I got out before Tom had a chance to say anything else on the matter, "I'll see you inside." As I walked into the estate, Tom followed shortly behind me while the carriage driver took Tasha back home. Tom sped up, caught up to me, and stopped me, "Sash, can you please tell me? I just want to help you." I felt guilty that I couldn't tell him, "We should b

  • A Dragons Heart   Introductions

    Everyone in the room looked at me, confused, when they heard I was a new member. A girl in the group got up out of her chair and walked over to me, and looked me in the eyes. She looked similar to Crimson with the same yellow eyes but much lighter brown hair, "So you're my famous cousin I've heard so much about?" I was thrown off guard by what she said, "Cousin? What are you talking about?" "I should introduce myself first. I'm the eldest daughter of Count Famious, Kat Famious. I'm guessing you don't know, but your Mother is from the Famious family. My Father is your Mother's older brother, which means we're cousins." "I didn't know that." "I guessed as much. I'm glad to meet you. Garry has been telling us about how he was trying to get someone new to join the student council; I guess that was you." I smiled uncomfortably, "Yes, I guess so." "Can I ask, is it true you've been able to take on your full form since you were born?" Garry stepped in, "You should get to know everyone

  • A Dragons Heart   Mystery man

    My time at school dragged on like it did in my previous life. 6 years had dragged by since I started, and I was 13 before I knew it. When I woke up for school, I went to my dresser and had one of the maids fix my hair like they do every morning. As the maid brushed my hair, one of the other maids laid out my uniform on my bed read. When she finished my hair, I turned to my bed. I saw a new piece of clothing with my uniform I hadn't seen before. It looked like a short fabric band with shoulder straps. Confused by what I was looking at, I asked one of the maids, "What's that?" "What, miss?" I walked over, picked up the item, and held it out to her, "This, what is it?" "Oh, the Duchess informed us that you should start wearing this now. She said you're at that age where you need to wear this to support your chest." I felt confused by what she meant, "Support for what exactly?" "For your developing chest, miss." I suddenly realised what she meant and what they wanted me to wear. I

  • A Dragons Heart   Meddling friend

    Over the next couple of days, I asked all around the school to see if anyone had seen or knew who the man was that I saw, but no one knew. Then, finally, one day, while I was in class finishing off our assignment for that lesson, a guy walked up to me, "Excuse me, Sasha?" "Yes?" He looked nervous while trying to talk, "We haven't spoken before, but I'm Zeek. We have a couple of classes together." "Ok, was there something you wanted to say?" "Yes, actually. I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date?" His question completely threw me, "What...?" He paused for a moment before building up the courage to say it again, "I wanted to know if you would go on a date with me?" "That's rather sudden, don't you think? We don't even know each other." "I've liked you for some time now, and your friend told me you would be interested in a date if I asked you." I sighed, "Let me think about it, and I'll let you know after class, ok?" Hearing me say I would think about it made him smile,

  • A Dragons Heart   My first date

    We got onto my family carriage and spent a long awkward drive to the market square. On the way there, Zeek tried to make small talk, "So, what do your parents do for work?" "My Mother works on tracking and accounting for all the estate expenses, and my Dad is the king's royal advisor." "Wow, I didn't know your family was so important." "My Dad is a Duke. Not to mention my family has been the right hand of the royal family since there was a royal family. What about you? What do your parents do?" "My Mother works as a chef for a restaurant in the market square, and my Father is a blacksmith who crafts most foundation piece's for enchanted items." "They sound like they work very intensive jobs." "They do. They're almost always tired from working long hours to afford our house." "Is the house you live in that expensive?" "Well, my Mother likes to live a little fancier than most commoners earning the same as my family, so she convinced my Father to move into a slightly bigger house

  • A Dragons Heart   Bad advice

    Over the rest of the day, word spread that I rejected Zeek, but with him biting the bullet and being the first to ask me out, he empowered the rest of the guys in my classes with the courage to start asking me out the next day. The next few days, I had probably over 10 different guys ask me out. Luckily I learned from my mistake of being too soft-hearted with Zeek and turned them all down. The barrage of date offers seemed to have no end in sight. After another couple of days of suffering through it, I started to try and think of a plan to make everyone stop asking me out, 'I'm really getting tired of the constant date invites! I really want them to stop...' I then had the idea to ask someone for advice, 'Maybe I can ask Tom or Dan what to do? No, they're hopeless when it comes to something like this. I can't ask Dad, he'll probably do something impulsive, and I can't ask Mom; she's way too excitable. Don't tell me I can only ask Tasha...' During the lunch break, I sat next to Tash

  • A Dragons Heart   Graduation

    Thanks to the fact that I knocked Zeek out, word quickly spread that I would knock out anyone who crossed me. This, luckily, led to the guys in my school being too scared to ask me out again, and I had a relatively peaceful time going to school for the next 5 years. I struggled to adjust to school life after Tasha graduated, but I managed to get by. But she still made sure to visit me on my days off; she wouldn't take no for an answer even though I was always busy with assignments and practice. Before I knew it, I was also graduating. Both Walter and Crimson made too much of a big deal of it. When I woke up and went downstairs to the dining room, I found Crimson and Walter waiting. Walter stood up and walked over to me. I felt confused by what was going on since I had forgotten that it was my graduation day, so I asked, "Was there something you wanted to say, Dad?" "I just wanted to congratulate you on graduating today. I'm very proud of you, especially because you're graduating to

  • A Dragons Heart   New beginnings

    After the guard left, the king looked at Terry and me, "You should bring her up here and let her rest on the crown princess's throne." Terry looked at the king, surprised, "Are you sure, your majesty?" "Of course I am. My son has troubled her greatly. It's the least I can do." Terry then made his way up the stairs and placed me down on the throne beside the king. Once I was sat down, I said to the king, "Thank you." After an hour, the guard returned with two other guards dragging Larry by the arms, wearing special shackles that prevented him from using mana, casting spells, or changing forms. The two guards dragged Larry up to the king and dropped him to his knees. Larry looked up at the king and asked, "Father, what's the meaning of this?!" Without realising it, Larry's eyes were still in their pink state for the king to see, "I can see you actually had pink eyes this whole time." Larry then realised his mistake, "That's beside the point! Why have you ordered your guards to put

  • A Dragons Heart   Shift change

    Over the next month, the guards set up the barrier like Larry told them to, which kept me from collecting the mana in the air. Finally, after that month was over, it came that time when Larry would normally give me some small amount of food. One of the guards in front of my cell received a call from Larry. When he finished talking, he turned to me and said, "His Highness said he won't be able to make it until later today, and because of your previous attempt to escape, he won't be bringing you this month's ration." I let out an amused huff, "He barely feeds me already. So why do I care if he misses one?" The guard didn't respond and turned back around to continue standing guard. Finally, after a few hours, it came time for the guards to change, but no one came in to relieve the current guard. After a few minutes of waiting, the guards in front of my cell became restless, "The next shift should be here by now. Those two in the evening shift are normally more punctual than this." "J

  • A Dragons Heart   Last hope

    Larry would come back to the cave every week to try and convince me to sign the contract, but I refused every time. Finally, after three weeks, Larry came into the cave carrying a stale piece of bread, "You've been in here a month now. Aren't you hungry?" "I went two months without eating of my own choice. You really think I'll cave after a month?" Larry smiled at me, "I have to admit, I do admire your spirit. I think you've earned this much, at least." he ripped the bread in half and threw one of the halves into my cell at my feet, "I'll give you the other half next month." He then left the cave. I reached over, picked up the piece of bread he gave me, and took a small bite out of it, 'Tastes awful, but it's better than nothing. But I should ration it for the next month.' After taking just one bite, I put the bread down beside me and started practising my mana control, 'He said I can't use my mana, but what about the mana in the air?' Concentrating, I was able to see the faint gl

  • A Dragons Heart   The cave

    As I slowly started to come to, I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I noticed I was in what looked like a cave. After completely coming to, I sat up and had a proper look around. I was inside a cell built into the corner of a cave with guards standing just outside the door to the cell. Feeling groggy along with a headache, I took off my wig and mask and threw them on the ground, "What the hell happened? Where am I?" "You always ask a lot of questions, don't you?" I looked over to my left and saw the man in the crow mask standing outside the side of my cell, "Who are you? Are you the bastard that kidnapped my child?!" The man smiled as he took a few steps to the side, allowing me to see the rest of the cave. As I looked behind him, I saw a pedestal in the middle of the room with my egg on it, "My egg! What the hell do you want?!" "You never stop asking questions. That's something I really couldn't stand when we were together." "Just tell me who you are!" The man faced me

  • A Dragons Heart   Masquerade

    While we were still in Walter's office, I asked him, "Can we cast disguise spells on ourselves before we go to the masquerade?" "Spells like that will be broken the moment you walk into the castle. You'll have to wear a wig to hide your hair, but I'm not sure how we'll hide your eyes. Terry doesn't need to change his since magenta eyes are still relatively common among nobles, but pink eyes are rare enough that dragons will know any noble with them." "I can just change the colour of my eyes." "That won't work. Like I told you, spells like that will be broken when you walk into the castle." "Dad, I can change the colour of my eyes through my own will." Walter looked at me, confused, "What?" I leaned in towards Walter as I slowly changed my eye colour to grey, "I can change my eyes to resemble that of any natural dragon eye colour." "And this isn't a spell?" "No, it's one of a pink eye dragon's abilities, but it's apparently kept secret." "I can understand why. An ability like

  • A Dragons Heart   A helping hand

    Terry and I spent the next month working together, combing through everything we could find on the three noble families we were looking into, but we couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. While Terry and I were looking through documents in his office, I finished reading the one I had and threw it on the desk, "Nothing! I can't find a single thing that can help us!" "Sash, please, we'll find something. It'll just take time." "Terry, it's been nearly two months since our egg was taken from us. I want to get it back." "I do too, but we have time. The child won't hatch for nearly five years. So we have all that time to search." "From what I've seen, we're not even close. It's obvious after looking through all this these families didn't do it!" "Then we start again and look for something else to help us." "And how long will that take? I don't want to leave our child's life up to some ruthless bastards who stole it!" "What do you suggest we do then? We've been doing all we can.

    The next day, Terry called Dan, "I need you to come to the estate today." "I'm a bit busy with work today. I can come down tomorrow evening if that's fine with you." "I'm sorry, but we need you to come down today. It's an emergency." Dan started to get a bad feeling, "What's happened?" "Late in the evening yesterday, our estate was attacked, and our egg was kidnapped. Not being able to deal with it, Sash's shut down and hasn't said a word since yesterday." "I'll be there as fast as I can." After a while, Dan arrived at the estate, and Terry escorted him to our bedroom as he told him, "Like I told you, she's completely shut down and unresponsive." "If I'm being perfectly honest, I can't blame her. I wouldn't take it well if my children were kidnapped." When they entered the room, Dan walked over to me and started to check my state, "Sash, can you hear me?" I didn't respond or open my eyes. After Dan finished examining me, he said to Terry, "She's in shock. She could wake up tom

  • A Dragons Heart   Aftermath

    Terry walked me into the living room and put me on the settee. Seeing that I couldn't stop crying, Terry crouched in front of me and held my hand, "Sash, we'll get our child back, I promise you. But right now, I need you to stay here. I'm going to call the guard. While they're on their way here, I'm going to go to the incubation room and see if they left anything behind we can use to find them." I was too emotional to talk at this point, so Terry reached into his pocket, gave me his handkerchief and then got to his feet, "I'll be back soon..." Terry then left me to calm down in the living room while he went upstairs to the incubation room. He looked around the room and couldn't find anything, only some scratches on the floor from where they had placed something heavy down, "Looks like I was right. They were smart enough to bring a transport box for the egg to keep it warm." He then went out of the room and checked on the guards. Unfortunately, they were all severely knocked out and
