Hawk went in and was shocked to see her awake. "I'm sorry I didn't hear you last night. None of us did. I'm glad Blizzard sensed you. Are you ok?" "Yeah, just a little weak. Hawk can you and Leo help me sit up?" "Yes of course." Then they did and I thanked them. "What happened to me? All I remember is being tired." "You were overtired is what the doc said." Jazmine said. "I see. Well, it's not the first time and most likely won't be the last." "Well, we figured but try not to, ok?" said Hawk. "Yeah, I'll try not to. When will the doc be here?" "Oh, speak of the devil here she is." Said Ezra. "Hello Princess Zelda. My name is Doctor Maia. I know I am a young doctor only 25 years old. I have been a doctor for 3 years now. So I should know what I am doing. Don't worry." "Oh, I'm not worried you just look young for your age is all. You look like you are in your late teens early 20's." "Aww thanks Princess. Let me do a checkup." I nodded then she rechecked me and noticed I was a little weak. "Hmm. OK so you are a little weak. Let me give you some medicine for that I'll have one of your friends feed you while you are weak. The medicine has to be in the food. Afterword's you can have honey water, ok? The weakness will take a day or two, to go away." "Thank you." I said weakly. "You're welcome. I will take my leave." Leo went to go get the food while I talked with Hawk and Jazmin.
Leo came back and Hawk was to feed me. "Open up princess." I rolled my eyes and I ate my food like I should have. Even though it tasted weird from the medicine. I ate half the bowl and I was full. "Pretty good for your first time eating from being sick all night not eating lunch or dinner." Said Hawk. "Yeah, I guess so. Can I have honey water now?" "Oh yes right here." Said Ezra. "Thanks." I had help holding my drink as well. "Much better thanks. I'm sorry everyone for wasting your time taking care of me." "Its no problem. Its our job. Plus, your brother told Blizzard and I to take care of you." "Yeah thanks." "Ok want us to help you lay back down?" "No, I'm not tired anymore I'm just bored. Can one of you stay with me and talk?" "Yeah sure. I have some prince business to take care of. You 3 enjoy yourselves." "OK thanks again Ezra. When I'm better you can show me your place in the forest." "Yeah, so get well, ok?" "I'll do my best." Then he left.
I chatted with the 3 of them until I got tired and went back to sleep. Hawk stayed with her while the guards stayed outside the door. They had the dragon kingdoms armor on. They were told to leave their old armor at the other kingdom. I brought some of mine from my kingdom they didn't mind. But I would have to wear their kingdoms clothes at certain times just not all. They knew that she didn't like dresses they only have a couple of occasions she would need one. Other times they had similar to what her style of clothing is.
It was around noontime when Zelda woke up again. "Hmm. Hawk? Ezra?" "I'm here Zelda." Said Hawk. "I brought you lunch. Yes, it's more porridge but you have to eat it until you get your strength back." "I guess so. I want to try eating it by myself." "Ok here you go. I'll hold the bowl." I got a little on the spoon I barely got it in my mouth before my hand couldn't hold it anymore. "At least I got it in my mouth." "OK I'll help you. Looks like your strength will definitely be back by tomorrow. At least you will be able to eat by yourself again." "Yeah, and eat meat. When I am better, I am eating meat." "Ha-ha ok I'll tell them to have a feast with meat." "Yeah meat." "Is that the only thing on your mind right now? Meat? Jeeze you and your brother man." "Ha-ha yep without meat me and my brother wouldn't live to see another day." "Ha-ha I'm sure you will live you will just be cranky without meat. I remember when you both had to go without meat for a week. That was a crazy week." "Yep, like I said meat is our life." "Ok now that you ate get some rest." "Ok if I'm not awake by dinner let me sleep ok?" "Yeah, will do. No sleep." He brushed my hair back like my brother used to. It helped me sleep. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
The next day I was up and ready to go anywhere. I got up took a shower I longed for. Then got dressed and headed out the door. It was breakfast time around here. "Ooh breakfast. Meat!" Hawk saw me and laughed. He came over and saw the knights with me. "Hello Jazmin and Leo did you sleep good?" "Yeah, we slept ok. Is Zelda really ok to eat meat right now? She just recovered." "Yeah, good point." "Please don't refuse me of meat. I just got better." "I'm not going to refuse you of meat but I will give you a small amount. If you can keep that down you can have smaller portions each time, ok? At least until its safe for you to start scarfing food down again." "Yes, thank you Hawk. I knew I liked you." "Ha-ha you only say that when I do something you want weirdo." Then Hawk helped me get my plate.
Once I sat down the king was starting to talk. "It's good to see you doing well princess Zelda." "Thank you, your majesty. Its good to be well. Your majesty if I may say a few words?" "Yes, go ahead." "Hello everyone. I am princess Zelda. I prefer that all of us in this Kingdom just call me Zelda and not princess Zelda or Princess. But when we have visitors from another kingdom I don't mind. I will be happy to help anyone that needs it. As of right now I still have studies and need to learn to use my powers. First I would like to go around and get myself familiar with the place. Can Prince Ezra show me around?" "Yes, Zelda, He can show you around. I'll have one of my personal knights show the other 3 around." "Thank you, your majesty." "Sure thing." Then we all ate and chatted.
Once we were done Ezra Hawk and my personal Knights talked about the tour. "I'd like to walk with Ezra alone. Well, he will have his knights so I will be ok. You two stay with Hawk and tour with him and the king's personal guard, ok? I promise I will be ok you two." "OK but don't hurt yourself, ok?" said Hawk. "I will try not to hurt myself walking. Ha-ha." "OK then see you later." Hawk had to convince my personal knights to leave me with Ezra. Then finally we went our separate ways.
"So, after the tour of the palace can you show me your spot in the forest?" "Yes of course. Is there a place you would like to start?" "Um if I am here would I be able to fight with the warriors?" "That would be up to you. It would have to be between magic training, Classes, or if anyone needs help you should help them." "OK can we go there first?" "Yes of course." So, he took me to see them.
"Hello everyone!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and the head warrior came by. I assumed was the head warrior anyway. "Your highness." They all bowed. "Arise all of you! I'm here for a visit. This is Zelda the Dragon princess. She will be joining you in a few days. She will be coming between her studies and helping people." "Does she have a little time now?" I looked at Ezra and said, "One round please?" "Ok 1 round, ok? Then we must finish our tour." "Oh, my apologizes Your highness." "No worries." I went to go change and left my bow and arrow with my stuff. "Ok ready." Everyone was shocked at how good she looked. "Ok who should I start with?" "Ok what level do you want easy medium or hard?"
"Hmm. Well, I just woke up a couple days ago. I'll start with medium." "OK this is the medium group. This man is the best. His name is Sitka." "Let try him." "Ok Sitka she chose you. Come on." "Yes ma'am."
"OK Now the first one who gives looses or can't get up. Ready! Go!" We sparred without weapons first. He was really good. Most of the time I had to block him. Then finally I got a couple of hits and kicks on him and it was reversed. He was doing more blocking than attacking. Finally after about an hour I pinned him down long enough for him to give. I helped him up and shook his hand. "Good fight Princess Zelda." Said Sitka. "Yeah, you too." "Ok yeah, I'll definitely need to train with him for a while. My strength isn't fully full yet. When it gets easier, I will go to the bottom harder ones on up." "Ok then. We will be waiting." I nodded. Then I changed back and followed Ezra.
We went to the garden next to rest, then parlor room etc. Eventually we went through the whole palace. Then we sat down in the garden to talk.
"So, Ezra. When do I start my training?" "Oh, the classes start tomorrow. Then after that your magic. Then we will go around to see if you can help any of the dragons around." "OK nice. So uh I'm sure you heard what I said about when I met you. What I told Blizzard." "Yes, I did." I blushed. "Well, um…do you think we can start as friends then eventually be something more?" I saw his beautiful smile. "I was hoping you would say something. I hope so." "Um thank you for what you have done for me so far. You and Blizzard helped me even if it wasn't much. Just talking." "Oh, we are happy to help." "Can you tell me about yourself?" "Uh yeah sure. Well, I grew up with 3 brothers. I am the crown prince. I was raised by maids like royal babies usually are. The maids helped a lot. So, I was raised like a normal prince." "What about you?" "Um well when I was about 4 or 5 years old my parents were killed. My brother is a year younger then me so he doesn't remember much since he was little but I don't either. I was raised by my aunt and uncle the king and queen. Before I became the dragon princess, I had light brown hair with white streaks from what happened to me back then. My brother was born with white hair. I wasn't raised like a normal princess but since my aunt and uncle didn't have any kids my brother ended up being raised as the crowned prince. He said that maybe he can ask for tips from you one of these days." "Yes, I would be happy too." "I wanted to find out what happened to my parents. Its my goal. Starting tomorrow that is my goal. If you and your parents can help, I'd appreciate it." "I'll ask. I'm sure they would help. What are their names?" "Well, my mother was the first dragon princess' daughter Kiana. The first Dragon princess was my grandma Zelda Simone…" "Yes, I know. Your father?" "My father's name is Dean Storm." "OK that's all the info I need. Do you still want to go to the forest today?" "Yes, but let's talk to the king first. The sooner they get the info the sooner they can find out." "Yes of course." So, we went to find the king.
"Dad! We need you." "Is everything ok kids?" "Yes, your majesty." I bowed. "Rise I told you not to bow." "Sorry I'll try to remember." "My parents murder I need help finding out what happened to them." "You know my mother, Kiana. The first dragon Princess' daughter. My father is Dean Storm." "Yes, I remember hearing about their death. It was a tragedy. They just didn't say how. Yes, we will do what we can to help. We too would like to know. Your father and I were good friends." "Thank you." "Oh, when you two are done doing whatever it is you kids do, I need to talk to you two." "Yes father."
We went into the forest and he showed me the place that he likes. Its similar to mine. It has a cave close by but the tree is different. "Go ahead climb up." He said. I climbed up easy and got inside. "Hey it's not bad. Its flatter than the tree I'm used to. So, it's easier to sleep in. Do you sometimes sleep out here too?" "Yeah, when I need a break of being crowned prince I do." "Ha-ha I hear you. I took a couple of what I am. When I met you, I just found out what I was. I didn't know you were the prince." "Yeah, well I hate titles." "I know what you mean. I don't like titles either. Yeah, I am a princess by blood and people called me princess all the time in the castle but it drove me nuts." "Yeah, I know." "So was my grandma human?" "As far as I know it doesn't say anything about her being anything else." "Oh, ok phew. OK then I should be human too." "Yes, you are. Even if you weren't it would change anything." "Yeah thanks." "Ok, should we go see the King now? He said he had something important to tell us." "Yeah, let's go."
"Is my father still in his office?" "Yes, your highness. He is waiting for you." "Thank you." Then we went to the king's office and they announced our arrival. The guards opened the door and we walked in. We sat down and waited for the king to say something.
"Hello children. I'm glad to see you two so close." "Um yeah I met him in the woods at my own palace when I was in the forest hanging out alone." "I see so that's were you ran off too huh?" "Hey I didn't know where I ran to I just ran in the forest." "Well, it's good you are so close." "Why what's up dad." "Well when I was with your father and mother. We talked when you were little about arranging a marriage between you and Zelda. Whether she was the dragon princess or not. So, what do you two thinks? Do you like the idea?" "Before I make my decision my King, I would like to know what happened to my parents and then I would make my decision. I have no doubt that we are good friends right now and something more in the future but before I get too serious I need to know who or what killed my parents." "Yes of course. Fair enough. We still haven't found any more than what we already know." "When you do know something please let me know."
It was getting dark and almost dinner time. I got dressed and cleaned up and put another outfit on. I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Hawk. "Oh, Hawk hello." "Hey how was your tour?" "It was good. After the tour I got to know more about Ezra in the garden. Oh I have something to tell you later after dinner. Are you here to escort me to dinner?" "Yes. Prince Ezra told me to escort you to dinner." "Oh well I accept." We both laughed. We got to the dining room and I had a space next to the prince. Hawk was next to me. My guards were across from me. After speeches like normal we ate. I didn't eat as much as I used to or as fast. Hawk and my guard must have noticed because when I look at them, they had a worried face.
