The next day, Terry visited the estate early in the morning. When he arrived, one of the maids showed him in and led him to the dining room where I was.

When he walked into the room, the moment he saw me, he was stopped in his tracks by the shock of what he had seen. As Terry stood there, he watched as I finished a large plate of food, and as he looked across the table, all that could be seen were empty plates.

Terry cleared his throat and asked, "I see you're feeling better?"

When I looked at Terry, he could see my skin was still somewhat pale, but I looked much healthier than I did the other day, "Yes, thank you. I was just finishing my breakfast."

A bead of sweat went down Terry's forehead as he looked at the piles of empty plates, "That was just breakfast?"

I looked at him, slightly confused, "Yes, why?"

"No reason! Since you've finished eating, shall we go pick up your dress for the wedding tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'll tell the driver where to go."

  • A Dragons Heart   Dan & Angela

    The next day I was woken up early in the morning by Jasmin, "Miss, it's time to get up! Today's sir Dan's wedding. We have to get you ready!" I tried to ignore Jasmin and go back to sleep, "Give me a bit longer..." After I said that, I tried going back to sleep, but Jasmin pulled one of her usual stunts and stole my blanket. After she stole my blanket, I sat up and looked over at her with a half-asleep, half-annoyed expression, "You never let me sleep in...!" Jasmin stood there and smiled, "I'm glad you're finally awake, miss. I'll start doing your hair if you wouldn't mind sitting at your dresser." After I finished getting ready, I went downstairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, Crimson was waiting for me there and dragged me off to the dining room, where she made sure I sat down for a while and ate a few plates of food since she still wanted to fatten me up. A few hours later, Terry arrived at the estate precisely at the time he said he would. But, as Terry made his wa

  • A Dragons Heart   Telling the truth

    After the ceremony was finished, we all headed over to another area of the arboretum. It was another large clearing of trees where Crimson had set up a space for Dan and Angela to share their first dance as tradition and let everyone else join in after. Once everyone migrated to the new area, Dan and Angela made their way onto centre stage. Once they were standing in the middle, the band started to play. When the music started, they began to waltz. As Terry and I stood there and watched them, I still couldn't control my emotions and continued to tear up. Finally, seeing my emotional state, Terry handed me his handkerchief to wipe away my tears, "Here, you should dry your eyes, or they'll get sore." I timidly accepted it, "Thank you..." While I wiped away my tears, Terry continued to talk to me, "You need to try and forget about the prince. It's not healthy for you to be this affected by him." I stared at Terry, annoyed, "It's not that easy, you know! I can't just turn my emotions

  • A Dragons Heart   Going on a trip

    After that, we all sat down and discussed the details of the trip. Finally, Walter asked me, "How long do you plan to travel for?" I thought about it, but I didn't have an answer, "I'm not sure. I first want to visit one or multiple human cities and see what they're like." "Travelling to the nearest human city will take you three weeks by carriage, so even if you only visited one city, you'll be gone for at least two months. Not to mention travelling just to the border wall of kiddra will take you a day in one of our carriages." "What about if we fly there? I'm sure flying is much fTom than any carriage, isn't it?" "It is, but you know full well that even flying to the border would take you five hours. So you would be exhausted when you made it to the wall." "Dad, my stamina isn't that bad. I'm sure I can make it there with energy to spare. I'm prepared for the long journey, so please don't treat me like a child." "You may have had your coming-of-age ceremony, but if I compare yo

    In the end, it took Terry and me six hours to get to the border gate. However, unlike trying to enter the capital, the guards freely let us exit through the gate without issue. Once outside Kiddra, Terry took out a memory crystal and displayed a map of the continent that also showed us our current location on it, "Alright, we're currently here on the map, so we'll start heading that way towards Vosha territory. There are many small towns where we can rest on our journey." "How far is the closest town?" "About an eight-hour flight from here. Do you have enough energy left to fly for that long?" "Probably not eight hours, but I should be able to make another five before I need to rest." "Alright, we'll fly until you get tired and then rest, then continue once you recover your stamina." After that, Terry and I took on our full forms and started to make our way to the first town. We arrived at the town after ten hours and rented two rooms at a local in since it was late in the day.

  • A Dragons Heart   The mage guild, 1/2

    We continued on foot for a few hours until we were far out of sight of the village and then took our full forms and continued on towards the next town to find an inn for the night. The next day, we stopped at another town, and while there, we bought ourselves new clothes to better blend in with what humans wear since our clothes were clearly too high-class for the average human and even some noble humans. After another two days of travelling, we finally arrived at the Tralux capital city. The city was vastly different from the towns and villages we saw on our way. As we entered the city, Terry asked, "Was there anything you wanted to do here in particular?" "Not really. I mostly wanted to see how humans live. Are they really as bad at magic as everyone says?" "They're not bad at magic. They're just not suited for it. Most humans are born without mana, and the ones that are, are born with next to no mana, making it hard or even impossible to practice. The ones that overcome the odd

  • A Dragons Heart   The mage guild, 2/2

    When I heard the guild's name, I couldn't help but think, 'You wish you were dragons.' As the man was about to leave, I asked him, "Is it possible for my friend to join me while I read in the library?" "No, outsiders aren't allowed to enter the library like I told you earlier. But if what you said about your friend being the one to teach you how to control your mana, then I'd be more than happy to administer the test to him as well and see if he meets our requirements to join." "I'll go ask him now!" I rushed outside where Terry was leaning against the building, waiting for me, "Terry, I need you to take the test and join the guild, or you can't come with me to the library!" Terry looked at me, uninterested, "But I'm not interested in inferior spells. So why would I want to go to their library?" "Because you said it yourself, you're my guardian, and you have to follow me everywhere!" "You really seem like a child right now." "Then, should I hold my breath until you say yes?" "

  • A Dragons Heart   Failed disguise

    Terry dragged me out of the bakery by the arm while I was still trying to process what was happening. Then, feeling me dragging behind, Terry stopped and grabbed me by the shoulders, "Sasha, you need to concentrate! Don't think about pointless things; just focus on returning to the mage guild! I can't drag you all the way there!" I looked at Terry, concerned, "What's going to happen?" "Nothing. We only need to get back to the guild, apply a spell that doesn't rely on your ability to change your eye colour, and then increase our disguise by changing our hair. That woman wouldn't have gotten a good look at you, so changing this much should keep us safe while we're still in the city." Terry and I finally made it back to the guild and went upstairs. As we were wandering around the second floor, Terry realised the human from earlier never told us which rooms were ours, "Damn it! I have no idea which ones are ours!" After Terry said that, a voice came behind us, "Are you two new members?

  • A Dragons Heart   The report

    After we finished fixing and altering the disguise spell, I left Terry's room to start looking for another empty room for myself. Luckily, there was an empty room across the hall from his, so I took it and unpacked my bag. After I unpacked, I took out my nightgown, ready for when I went to bed. As I stared at it, I sighed, "I'm too used to having maids help me... I'm lucky I've even been able to change my clothes by myself." As I tried to reach behind my back to unlatch the buttons so I could change, I ended up falling backwards, making a loud bang as I hit the floor. As I sat up, I rubbed the back of my head, where I hit it against the floor, "Oww! I hate changing my dress! This happens every time I try to unbutton the back!" While I sat there rubbing the bump on the back of my head, someone knocked on my door and opened it slightly, "Excuse me, are you alright in there?" She slowly popped her head around the door, and when I saw her, I noticed she was the woman from earlier, "I

  • 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

    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
