'For some reason dragons are so comforting. I wander if this is my true heritage? May I was raised by dragons and my mother had nothing to do with the dragons. But then why am I the dragon princess? I guess I'll just listen to Zekiel and wait. He said I would know soon.' "Zekiel. I'm sorry for running into your territory." "Its ok princess. Sleep. You will feel better." "Hmm." Then she went back to sleep.
She was starting to wake up and realized she isn't on the dragon anymore. Then she slowly woke up. "Hmm. Where? Where am I?" I started freaking out since I never saw this room before. "Princess! Your awake!" said a woman. I got scared. "Don't come near me! Tell me where I am!" "Just hold on a minute. I will be right back." Said the woman.
I heard the door open and I got even more scared until I saw Leon and Aries. "Leon! Aries!" I ran to them not caring how I looked and hugged them. "I was so scared. I remember I was in the forest comfortable then I woke up here. Where am I?" "Breathe Zelda. You're in my castle. He brought you back after you fell asleep." I knew who he was talking about. "How in the world did you get that far princess?" "I don't know. I just knew I had to run until I got tired out and ended up lost. Then I prayed for grandma to help me then he popped out." "I see. Well its good you met him. Anyone else you might not be lucky. Anyway the woman that was talking to you is your maid to help you dress and do what you need." "I-I see. There is something you need to know about me if you want to be with me. Well 2 things actually. One is when I wake up where I didn't fall asleep I get scared. Ever since that night I have been like that. The other thing I will have to show you in the forest." "I already know Zelda. I don't mind. I love you for who you are. After that night I started crying. That is probably another reason he hid my memories until then." "Hmm is see. Well he did it for your safety I guess." "Yes I did." Said Aries. "Now we will be right outside until you get dressed. A princess shouldn't be out of bed dressed like that." Said Leon. I looked at myself and ran to my bed to cover up. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know." "Its ok just be careful next time princess." "Yes sir.'
Once I was dressed I went out to join the boys. "I'm so sorry you both had to see me like that." "Its ok princess. Don't worry about it. Now isn't it about time you head back home? I'm sure the others are worried." "I-I don't know. I think this place feels like home more than Ezra's castle for some reason." "Its ok princess. Don't worry you will be able to come again." "Wait there is something I have to ask Leon first." "What is it Princess?" "Well if you leave here, who will rule if you are with me?" "Hmm. You know that is a good question. There is someone I want you to meet." "Really who?" "Follow me." Then I followed him somewhere I know I have never been before.
"What is this place?" "Don't worry. You will be fine." "Ah here he is. Hello Destiny." "Oh Leon. Is this the girl?" "Yes she is. I'm not leaving yet but she was worried about the castle if I were to leave." "Oh haha don't worry princess. My brother will take good care of it. He is the same bloodline as Leon. He will only rule until you have kids of your own and they are old enough. Then when Leon has kids they will take his place." "Hmm. That makes since. So where is your brother?" "Oh hang on. Brother! Get over here!" "Yes sister. Right away." "Oh Leon hello. Oh you must be the princess. Very nice to meet you. My name is William." "Nice to meet you William. So you will be taking over for Leon after he leaves?" "Yes I will. Don't worry I'll try not to let it crumble ok?" "Please. For some reason it feels like home." Then I saw him look at Leon. He knew just by the look not to tell her. "Yes well. I will make sure to protect it don't worry princess have a safe trip home." Then we walked out.
"Leon are you sure he is leading material?" "Haha I can see why you would think that. He may not look it but he is a better leader than I am. Well you better go see Aries so you can head home." "Leon I…" He came over and hugged me. "I know. I love you too. I will miss you till the day I can come back over." Then he kissed me on the lips. I was shocked at first then kissed him back. Then I had to pull away since I know I had to go. "See you later Leon." "Yeah see you princess." Then I held Aries arm like last time and we teleported again this time inside the palace. "Thank you Aries." "No problem." Then he teleported again where ever he was meant to be.
"I'm back everyone." Everyone swarmed around me. "Hawk. Ezra. Arrow. Everybody." I hugged them all. "I'm back." "Ok Everyone let here breathe now." Said Ezra. "Thanks Ezra. I'm sorry it took so long. I was supposed to come back after talking with Leon then stuff happened. I'll tell you later tonight. Right now I need to train my but off. I have some feelings I need to kick out of me." Then I headed towards the knight field.
"I'm so Ready Zoe. I have some feelings that I need to burn." "If that's the case I know just who to fight. Its not Aries." "Hmm. OK sure. I'll trust you." So I followed her and saw she brought me to a strong woman. "This is Nikita." "I told you I'm not ready to fight her yet." "Don't worry I won't let her use her full strength. She knows where your strength is. She will put a little more strength in than Aries but not too much ok?" "That will work." "I'm already ready to fight. What about Nakita?" "She's just resting a bit. She needs a few minutes then she can fight you ok?" "Sure I'll wait for her on the field." So I did just that.
10 minutes later I saw Nikita come out. "Hello princess. I wanted to officially introduce myself. My name is Nikita. Nikita Lynn." "Nice to meet you Nakita." "Well are we ready?" "Sure." "Ok rules. Unless she stops the fight by herself or someone gives the fight continues. Go!" For once I was the one charging and Nakita dodged me. We weren't fighting with swords just hand to hand combat.
"So something going on with you princess?" "Ah you know the stresses of princess life." "What's wrong? Maybe I can help." "I wish you could but the only ones who can help are keeping secrets from me." "Ah so there it is. I know how that is. My brothers and sisters are keeping things from me too. I know what its like." "Yeah but that's not the problem. My birth parents. The ones I thought where my parents when I was younger weren't really my birth parents. But someone I met was on my side and he told me I will find out soon enough." "Ah maybe he knows something too." "Yeah maybe but for some reason I can trust him. I also miss Leon." "Ah so that's the other thing. Well I know its not the same but you can write letters until he comes back." "Yeah we are already doing that. How can I get people to accept him. There is something I found out about him that they might not know. That day he was possessed. I forgot to ask him if he remembered who possessed him." "Do you think he will remember all these years?" "I don't know. I hope so." "Ok I can't go anymore I can't breathe." "Ok then." So we stopped and I took deep breathes to try to calm myself. "Well I hope to fight you at my full strength sometime." "Yeah me too Nikita. Thanks." "Yeah anytime." I drank some water and leaned against a tree and sat down.
Once I sat down by a tree I closed my eyes to think. After I fully calmed down I felt someone nudge me. "Zelda. Zelda." "Hmm. Who is it?" "Its Hawk. You ok?" "Huh? Yeah I'm fine why?" "You passed out by the tree. Did Nikita do a number on you?" "Not really we were just doing normal hand to hand combat without hurting each other." "Hmm I see. Ok then. Lets get you up to your room to sleep better. You look exhausted." "Wait I need to write something first and send it to Leon then I will get some rest I promise." "OK then. I will be checking on you in an hour ok?" "Yeah sure." So he guided me to my room. I did as I said then laid down. I fell asleep instantly.
An hour later Hawk did as he promised and checked on her. He checked her head to see if she had a fever but didn't and was relieved. "You'll find out soon. I promise. On your birthday you will find out everything." Then he pat her on the head and left. "How is she?" said Ezra. "She's sleeping. She's fine." "Oh that's good. Phew." "Ok lets go get things done for her party." "Right."
Finally days past and it was Zelda's birthday. She woke up wondering what today was. "Hmm. I wonder what today is? I have a feeling I'm forgetting something. Hmm. I guess I'll find out later what I am forgetting." Then I got dressed in casual clothes and checked out what I can do around the castle. Apparently, I have a day off today. I wonder why. Then I went downstairs to check things out. Hmm. I wonder where everyone is? "Princess you're awake!" said one of the butlers. "Yes I am. Where is everyone?" "Oh they are out and about. What can I do to help you?" "Me? I asked what I can do to help you." "Um were ok princess. I was told to send you to see Rena once you woke up." "Oh ok thank you." Then I headed over to where Rena usually is and knocked on the door. "Come in princess." Then I went in and said, "How did you know it was me?" "Oh I can tell by the knock. Now. First of all happy birthday. Second of all." "Wait. So that's what I was forgetting. I forgot today was my birthday." "Yes it is. Also later today you have somewhere to go as a surprise." "Oh really? Awsome! When do we leave?" "Well lets see its only morning now. So we will leave in about 6 hours. So be ready in 5 ok?" "Yes of course. I have a lot to do to get ready. I better start now." I ran to the royal baths and relaxed for about an hour then I had my maid get a hair person and nail person the hair people also did makeup. I already had a dress I was wearing. I can just step into it. It's a light dress thankfully. Its also one I can handle. "Ok princess how does this look?" "Hmm. Let me put on my dress and see." I got my dress from my closet and put it on.
"Wow! Is that really me?" "Yes princess it is." "Just one more thing on my hair. There got it. Now its good." "Wow look at the time. Did it really take that long to get ready? Damn. Oops excuse my language." "Its ok princess. Now in a little bit someone will come to pick you up. Have fun. We will see you when you get back." "Sure thanks." I sat in front of my mirror admiring myself when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in." I said. Then the person opened the door. "Oh its you Ezra. Well how do I look?" "You look…beautiful. Gorgeous." Then he kissed me on the cheek. "I didn't want to ruin your makeup on your lips." "I understand. Thanks. OK shall we?" "Yes lets go." Then we walked over to a beautiful carriage that is closed off so my hair didn't get ruined. "Aww so sweet. You have it closed off for my hair. So thoughtful. Thanks Ezra." "Sure no problem." Then we talked for a bit and I was wondering when we were going to be there when we finally stopped. "Are we there?"
"Yes get out of the carriage." "SURPRISE!" "Everyone was waiting for me at he castle gate. "Aww. You guys. Thanks for coming." "The party is this way princess." "Oh ok thanks." Then I got to the party and another "SURPRISE!" "Thank you everyone. For coming to my birthday. Jet!" I ran to my brother and gave him a hug. Its so boring without you with me." "Hmm. I thought you were having fun with the knights/warriors." "I am but its more fun with you." "Sis you're a big girl now. You are acting like the younger one." "I know but can't I whenever I see you? I hardly get to see my little brother." "Oh geeze. It is your birthday so whatever. Oh look who it is. Its Leon." "Your not going to ask him to pick you up again?" I joked. "Hey I was little back then sis. Geeze. Oh and another thing. We are celebrating our birthdays together even though we are a week apart." "Cool. I love that." We are in the palace having a ball in honor of Jet and my birthday. I mingled with everyone then it was time for our first dance. So since we are celebrating both our birthdays, we decided to dance together.
"May I have this dance princess?" "Yes you may my prince." Once the music played, I danced with my brother then Leon cut in and my brother found another pretty lady to dance with. "Oh Leon. You scared me there for a minute." "Sorry." "Its ok. Warn me next time. Bye the way thanks for throwing my birthday party here." "No problem princess. In a little bit before the presents and cake there will be a big surprise. We hope you will like it." "I hope so." I giggled. Then after awhile Ezra came in and danced with me. Everyone wished us a happy birthday.
Once I was danced out I had to go out for a breather. I sat outside in the garden on the beautiful white bench. "Ahh this feels great. Hmm. I wonder who those people are? I just got out here but maybe I should go back in? Nah I'll wait for them to come get me. I need as much air as I can at the moment. After I started feeling a little chilly I almost went inside but then I heard footsteps and saw Ezra and Leon come over to me.
"Hey guys. I was debating whether I wanted to come in or not. I saw a few people walk in." "Yeah that is the big surprise we are going to show you. Get as much fresh air as you want. We'll talk about the serious stuff tomorrow but for now lets wait until your ready to go in." Said Ezra. "Thanks guys. Thanks again Ezra for wanting me and Leon to work out as well with us." "Hey its not big deal." "Are you sure Ezra?" "Yeah sure no problem at all." They both wrapped their coats on my back to keep me warm. I leaned on Leon's shoulder and held Ezra's hand. Leon leaned his head on mine and relaxed.
"Hey Leon guess what?" "What is it Zelda?" "Well things have calmed down enough you can come back. Do you want to come back or do you have things you have to do first?" "Well let me get my things in order and I will send a letter to you when I will be leaving ok?" "Let me know when you get the letter then when I get yours I'll leave." "Sounds good to me. I guess I can't keep our guests waiting too long. Lets go." "Yes lets. Just let me tell you, no matter what happens we both love you. You will always have friends and family by your side." Said Leon. "Thanks Leon." "They both Escorted me inside and I saw Jet talking to the guests I must have seen walk in. "Oh there you are sister. Come here quick!" "I'm coming brother. Sheesh." "Hello. Who might you be?" "I am your birth mother Selene and this is your birth father Luke. These are your blood siblings. Kids introduce yourselves." "Hello my name is Aria." Said the girl. Then the boys said. "Hello I am Grey. Nice to met you Zelda." He said. "As you have guessed they are twins. Well not identical of course." Said Selene. "I see. So this is the big surprise they wanted to show me before anything. Excuse me for a moment." I told Ezra I was going out for some fresh air so he didn't worry. What I actually did was run into the forest again to find Zekiel.
"Zekiel. I need to see you please. I need…I need to talk to you." Then he came and landed on the ground next to me. "What seems to be the problem princess?" "Why? Why did they have to come on the day of the party? Couldn't they wait until after? They are strangers to me Zekiel. How can I call a couple strangers mom and dad? Brother and sister. Come on. Today of all days. Until I know what happened, I can't accept them. I don't know what to do?" "Well first of all they are your family so of course they would want to come to your birthday." "Second is what?" "Well that is up to you kiddo. I know. Why don't you talk to your brother Jet. See what he thinks about it. As for Arrow he is not blood related to them. So he is not blood related but they adopted him." "I see so he's known all along huh?" "Yes don't get mad at them ok? It's a party. If you want to ignore them that's fine. I'm sure they will understand. I'm sure they will explain tomorrow when you are well rested ok?" I gave Zekiel a hug and thanked him. Then I hopped on his back and he took me back home. "Oh by the way princess happy birthday." "Thanks Zekiel." Then he went back home.
