Pure ego

After two weeks of being locked away in the estate with no sweets or Tasha as part of my punishment, I couldn't stop myself from being overwhelmed by boredom.

After the first couple of days of my punishment, I started spending more time with my brothers. But, of course, I mostly spent my time with Dan since he didn't have to go to school anymore since Crimson was teaching him personally at home, and Tom was still going and didn't get back until late in the day. But the three of us still managed to spend the occasional day together, usually at the end of the week when Tom didn't have school.

During those weeks, when I spent some time with each of them individually, they showed and taught me different things they had been learning.

Since Tom was talented with magic, he started teaching me simple tricks to control my mana. Still, it turned out I wasn't naturally gifted with mana control and only had average talent, so his simple tricks were complicated to understand for me.

    After another two weeks, Crimson told me that Tasha could finally start coming down again. She also sent a letter to Clair telling her Tasha was allowed to start visiting again. The day after Crimson sent the letter, Tasha arrived at the estate and rushed to the door, almost tripping over her dress due to her excitement. After she was let in, she ran out to find me when she was told where I was. Tasha ran outside and over to my personal garden, where she saw me sitting around my table talking to Dan. When I saw Tasha rushing over to me, she had a very desperate look on her face while shouting, "Sash!" The moment she got within arm's length of me, she immediately started hugging me far too tightly, "I missed you so much!" Since she was crushing me, I could barely talk, "I... missed... you... too..." After a few moments, she let go of me, allowing me to breathe again. She then sat beside me on the empty chair, "What happened in the month I was gone?!" "Nothing." "But something mus

    After that day, time seemed to pass me by without my notice, and before I knew it, it was already the day after my 7th birthday. When I got downstairs, I headed straight into the dining room to have one of the maids bring me breakfast. When I walked into the room, I saw Walter sitting around the table. It looked like he had been waiting for me to come down, and when he saw me, he got out of his seat and walked over to me, "Sash, since you're old enough now, I want to give you a test which will tell me your aptitude towards magic." I felt confused by what Walter was talking about, "But you've been teaching me magic, don't you already know?" "Yes, that is true. Your Mother and I have been giving you personal lessons teaching you control, but we've only been teaching you the basics that all dragons learn, which helps you control your mana and some basic spells. It could have gotten out of hand if we hadn't taught you how to manage your mana." "Oh, I haven't been learning proper magic

    The following day, Walter came to find me in the middle of the day while I was outside in my personal garden, "Sash." "Yes?" "I've managed to sort everything out, and you'll be starting school a little sooner than I thought." "When will I start?" "Tomorrow." "That's a lot sooner than I thought it would be!" "I know, but don't worry, your brother will be there to help you if you need it." "But what if he's busy?" "You still have the teachers at the school you can go to for help." "Ok..." The next day, a maid woke me up early, "Miss, you have to get up. You have to attend your first day of school." I tried my best to ignore her and sleep in, but the maid stole my blanket as I tried, "I'm sorry, miss, but the Duke has given us permission to do whatever it takes to get you out of bed." I sat up in my bed feeling groggy with my hair in a frizzy mess, "Fine..." I got up and sat in front of my dresser while a maid brushed my hair. As she did, I saw another maid enter the room thr

    After I finished my 4th class of the day, I started heading to the cafeteria. While on my way there, I saw Garry waiting outside the cafeteria doors with a couple of other kids. As I went to pass them, Garry stopped me, "Sasha, I've been waiting for you a while. I wanted to ask you something." I couldn't help but feel anxious about what he wanted to ask, "What is it?" "Do you want to join the student council? Were made up of nobles, and there's still an open position." "What would I have to do if I joined?" "Just help us keep the commoners under control. There's a lot of them in this place, so we need more help." "Don't the student council have to help the students?" "We are helping the other students. We're helping them follow the rules. Commoners can't go around acting on the same level as nobles, so we have to make sure they remember their place. And I think you would fit in well." "I'm sorry, but I don't have any spare time to join the student council. Please excuse me. I w

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
