Flashback
"My dragon is gonna eat yours,
roar!"
"Ha! you wish, that little thing can't eat Sebastian" I felt sad that Caleb thought my dragon was too small to hold fight, well I'll show him.
"What are you doing?" He shrieks as I wrap tin foil armor on Netty
"Putting Netty in armor, what does it look like?" I roll my eyes at him because its the most obvious thing in Kendros,it really is!
"Roar! Roar!" I manage to duck in time as Caleb crashes Sebastian right into Netty almost hitting my arm
"Netty!!" "You broke my Netty" he crashed her into pieces.
"We did it, Sebastian!" I feel my blood boil as Caleb does his victory dance.
"You..you..urgh!" I storm out of the castle towards the garden, feeling very indignant. I don't know what that means but mom says it all the time when she's mad at dad.
As I continue to stroll through the garden the side of my face tingles, like how it feels when someone is staring at me. I huff the feeling away thinking I must be focusing too much...
I have to find a way make Caleb sorry for killing Netty.
As I start thinking of my next plan, I hear some rustling sounds from the trees at the edge of the forest, I stand up from my lotus position on the ground and start advancing towards the sound. After a few minutes of walking in the woods, I soon come to a halt in some small clearing.
The trees and bushes around start to rustle as I look around trying to pinpoint what's happening. The rustling gets louder and feels closer as I begin to back away from the darkest part of the clearing.
"What are you doing?"
"Aaaaahhhh!" I scream clutching at my chest in fright and turn around only to come to face with Caleb. "you could have killed me!"
"What?with a heart attack?" He says smirking
My cheeks puff out in anger as I feel a tingling heat creep up my face all over to my ears
"For a warrior princess, you squeak louder than a mouse"
"No, I do not! I don't squeak and I wasn't scared! I was just startled... and I'm still mad at you, mother will be too since this is my third dragon because of you"
"Aunt Hilda won't be mad at me,and neither will_" I stop him from saying more as I press my index finger to his lips.
The sound of twigs snapping and trees rustling reaches both our ears. I let go of him as we both stand firm and defensive while we look towards the direction of the sounds. Two red dots appear from the dark part of the bushes. The creature comes closer into the light and the human face that appears makes me gasp in shock. Caleb immediately takes a defensive crouch in front of me.
I stand still so as to not attract attention remembering the instructions from my RED107 class.
The possessed guardian soon lungee at us for attack and Caleb lunges at him and throws him a punch in the jaw. I heard the sickening crunch of bones as his connects with the jaw. Caleb is the son of an Armougard and following his father's death, he inherited their family power all to himself.
Failing to pay attention to the fight, I fail to notice that the red one had lunged itself towards me with its long nailed fingers aimed at my neck. My body freezes in fear and shock making me unable to move away. It's already too late when I see Caleb jumping in and I whimper as the long nails dig into his neck spreading their vile poison. My eyes widen more as tears form in my eyes before I notice Caleb flashing me a wide apologetic smile.
The red one throws his body away and I watch his neck ooze with black liquid before his eyes roll to the back of his head, a black color soon shrouding away the white.
I start to feel an intense burning and pain all over me as my eyesight blurs in fury. I lunge at the red one at the same time an iron armour forms all over my body just like with mom. Grabbing the very tall man by the neck my eyes blaze with fire as I'd never seen before and I snap the neck using my bare hands and strength. I grab his head and yanked it out of his body, blood splattering all over the place and my face.
A strange dizziness takes over my being and I fight to keep my eyes open through the pain my body is suddenly plunged in.
I let go of the head as his body falls to the ground.
I begin walking over to Caleb's unmoving body and lay his head on my lap. I barely hear the royal guard calling my name and my blurry eyes catch a glimpse of my mother entering the clearing. Forcing my hand to close Caleb's open eyes, I lay him to peace with our family's code of royalty chanting...
"Safmita anakura meftimira"
..before I slipped into unconsciousness
