The dragon did not want to leave jaya, because she did not want her to go of to the danger alone. The dragon pushed her nose against Jaya her shoulder and lay down so that Jaya could climb on her back more easily.
Jaya smiled and stroked the nose of her dragon
"only the two of us know that the village is on fire. You are much faster than me, so help would arrive sooner "
Her dragon got up reluctantly but listened to her assignment. Before she took off, she still looked worriedly at Jaya, and crossed her head against the face of Jaya.
Jaya stroked the head of her dragon and looked at her lovingly
"it's okay, I trust you will get help on time"
When her dragon had left, she quickly headed for her village. Because she knew the forest well she arrived quickly at the entrance of her village.
The closer she got to her village, the hotter it became. Because of the heat, she knew that the fire was bigger than she initially thought.
She ran quickly through the village and moved carefully past the houses. There was no one in the village, so she hoped that all the people had left the village safely. She hurried to her house and saw that her house was on fire.
Just as she wanted to continue walking, a net fell out of the sky. Because it came as a surprise to her, she didn't have enough time to evade it and she got caught in the net.
Jaya tried to get out of the net until she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw the little brother of the queen standing in front of her. Everyone in the dragon tribe knew that he had only bad intentions and would like to take the crown from the queen.
If he was behind this, jaya knew that there was no hope that the people of the village would have survived. But she had to know for sure.
"My lord Kaidon, have you done this? "
Kaidon looked at her and laughed meanly
"if you had been her earlier you could have heard the screams of your parents. No person in this village has survived. And it is your fault, if you had just accepted my offer this would not have happened "
Tears fell over Jaya's cheeks, her anger could be seen in her eyes
"my lord then I suggest that you reunite me with my family and people from my village because I won't help you"
Kaidon laughed and gestured to a warrior that he had to pick up Jaya
"whatever you want. Oh but I forgot to tell you that your brother survived. It depends on you whether you get him back intact or alive. "
He walked over to Jaya, who was strapped over the shoulder of the warrior and grasped her chin and grinned falsely.
"As you know, I am cruel. Every time you disobey me, I will chop off a part of your brother's body until you cooperate or he is dead. "
When Jaya heard those words, her body became limp with fear of her brother. She didn't mind giving her own life for her tribe, but her brother was only five and still had his whole life ahead of him.
"Tell me what i need to do, but only with the condition that I'll be reunited with my brother"
Kaidon grinned
"oh you still have requirements? First make sure that I am satisfied with the result. Since you are a student of Rana, I am convinced that you can make a poison that is harmful to the foxes of the fox tribe. You can find out for yourself what kind of poison and how to use it. It is time that I visit my big sister "
The last thing Jaya saw before she was knocked unconscious was Kaidon who climbed a wolf and drove away.
....
"Big sister the guard is coming! "
A six-year-old boy with a cheerful appearance came running towards Jaya. He had light brown hair and eyes. He quickly hid the items he had in his hand and stood beside Jaya.
Jaya put her arm around his shoulders and looked at him
"do not fear, you know what you have to do. It is just their round again"
The guard came in Brutally and looked around the tent. He didn't see anything suspicious, so he turned to Jaya and her little brother. He walked towards them with a fake smile. He grabbed Jaya roughly around her waist and pulled her towards him
"it is a shame that our lord is not so cruel as lord Kaidon, otherwise I would have had you warm my bed every night"
Jaya looked with disgust at the guard
"I think you have forgotten that I am a healer, do you really think you would survive a night with me? If I were you I would just let go, since I have put a poison on my clothes to ensure that not everyone can touch me without my permission"
When the guard heard what she said, he released her quickly.
"You talk nonsense! You have become cheeky because the lord treats you too well! But I hear that your poison has finally damaged the crown prince's fox. According to our spies, the fox won't even survive the night!"
There was nothing to be seen in Jaya's facial expression, but inside she felt it was going to be an important night. The fox of the crown prince was his most valuable possession and most loyal friend. She was sure he would like to find a way to save his fox.
"Oh, I talk nonsense? How does your arm feel ? "
The guard looked at his arm and saw that it was set up and red. He tried to move his arm but he felt nothing in his arm.
"You little witch what did you do! For this you will pay "
knowing that he had orders not to hurt her he walked out of the tent furiously. At the moment he could not hurt her but the war would not last long. Then he will get her!
When the guard was out of the tent, she quickly turned to her brother and dried his tears.
"Don't cry, Julan, don't forget that you're a warrior of the dragon tribe. We can take a beating. "
Julan nodded and stopped crying
"big sister are you sure they are coming for the antidote? "
"Yes, I know that for sure, especially if the crown prince came with his healer. He is just like me a student of a great master. Do you have everything? I want you to leave as soon as possible, I am sure our king is fighting in the northeast "
