'I really don't want to get intertwined with royalty. It'll bring nothing but trouble.' I thought to myself as I was walking down the corridor of the palace with Tess, Mio, Iris, Catherine and Nova.
We had just been allowed to leave to get rest from the Prince so we could be fully rested before we begin our travels once more.
"That was tiring." Catherine said.
"You shouldn't say that but I agree. I'm thankful we could leave." Tess replied with a sigh and a slight droop in her posture.
We walked down the corridor to the room we have been granted access to for our rest. Just a bedroom but a massive one. Inside the room was 4 beds so one of us had to share. It was a ginormous room with a sofa and table in front of a fireplace, bookshelves, balcony, desk, walk in wardrobe, bathroom. So much was in this room but it still looked nice and everything was arranged in nice areas.
"So who is going to share a bed?" Iris asked as she sat down on the bed closest to the door.
"You guys can take the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa." I said. I didn't mind where I slept. It didn't make a difference to me.
"You shouldn't sleep on a sofa, Kiera." Tess said to me.
"Then who is sharing?" I asked.
"You can sleep with me. I mean these beds are massive so there is enough room, right?" Tess replied with a smile.
I looked to everyone else and got a shrug.
"Whatever." I said as I sat down on the bed next to Iris's bed with Tess next to me.
We all chose a bed and sat down. Everyone began gossiping about 'what do you think it's like?' 'You think it's going to be dangerous?' And stuff like that but you could tell they were excited for this.
I got up off the bed and made my way to the balcony and shut the door behind me. It was about mid day currently and we would be due to set off soon for Barself, my home country and the country of the dragons.
I used [Telepathy] to communicate with mother.
'Mother, there is an expedition from the royal family to explore Barself.' I spoke through my mind to mother.
'Hm? Sounds interesting, should I greet you sweetie? I'm assuming you're going since you know of this.'
'Don't greet us. Although they won't attack you unless you attack, they are bringing S - class adventurers and knights or ranks above that. Also yes, I am going.'
'You might meet us when you arrive since I'm going around with your siblings. It's good to know they won't attack us.' Mother replied.
'Even if they tried attacking you or my siblings I would protect you all. Though I wouldn't be able to do much, that's not the point. Try to stay away. Please.' I said to mother. I didn't want the risk of those I care for getting hurt or meet a potential threat.
'I can't guarantee that but I'll try anyway if that is what you want sweetie. I hope you come visit us though. Just say you got lost and somehow found your way back. Your siblings all miss you as well as Yuki and I.'
There was a small pause.
'I miss you to.' I replied. I didn't know if I missed them but if it made them happy I would say I did even if it was a lie.
"Hey Kiera! We are leaving!" I heard Catherine call out to me.
'I'm leaving now. I'll see you in a few months then.' I said.
'Goodbye sweetie. Safe travels.' Mother said before our telepathy cut off.
"Alright. I'm on my way." I said back as I came back into the bedroom and walked to the front gates of the palace with everyone.
Once we had arrived outside I saw a whole group of griffins'. Griffins have the body of I lion with talons as their front legs. Their faces are that of eagles and have feathers on their front half. I'm not surprised that the royal family have tamed such beings but this was the first time I've seen one.
"It seems everyone has arrived. I have prepared a Griffin per person, we will set off once everyone is mounted." The king spoke with the tone of authority.
I approached one of the griffins and it turned its feathery head to face me.
"Hello." I spoke in the language of the griffins but I made sure that only the Griffin in front of me could hear me.
"How can you speak our language?" It questioned me.
"I am a dragon and can speak all languages. Is there a problem?" I asked.
"A dragon?! My apologies for being rude." The griffin lowered its head. "There is no problem. I shall allow you to ride me."
"Thank you." I said changing back to the universal language.
I jumped atop the griffins back and stroked my hands through its silky feathers.
I looked over at everyone else to see if they got on their griffins yet and so far only I and the royals had managed to get on along with Scarlet.
I used the reigns on the Griffin and moved mine over towards the others.
I used telepathy to all the griffins and told them to allow them to get on and used some blood lust. The griffins reluctantly let everyone upon their backs and we were ready to go.
"Now that everyone is ready let's go!" Scarlet said, "is this alright your majesty?"
"Of course. Let us depart." The king said.
The griffins all lifted off into the air and we began our flight to the country of Barself.
'This is going to be a long trip.'
