"That is what the Goddess said." Said my father. "It would be best if your brother were here to tell you." "Ok I have an idea. Go to Ezra and tell him to fly over to get Jet. They will teleport back over here." "Ok I will do that." Said father.
While he was doing that, I was talking to my mother and siblings. "So uh.." I scratched my head nervously like a guy does. "What shall we talk about? Oh I know? Aria. Are you into girly stuff? I have always wanted a sister to do girly stuff with. Like make up and dress pretty. Although I'm not a dressy person I would like to dress you up. I could tell you are a girly girl." I saw her look up at our mom. "Yes that is fine Aria." Then I looked at my brother. "Brother Grey." I saw him straighten up. Cute. "I would love to spend time with you as well. Get to know you and do brotherly stuff with you a brother would. It's a good thing I spent time with Jet. I have some experience." "Haha yeah that would be nice." "Mom I would love to do mother daughter time if you have time between your queen duties and father as well. I don't live here I am only visiting. I will be visiting a couple of weeks where my and uncle raised me. I can just go back with him." "Yes we would love to visit you." "So mom. Who is the next in line for the throne?" "Well since you are going to be queen here and your brother over there, it will be Grey. He would be the crown prince." "I see." I looked at Grey. "What do you think about that brother?" "Well at first I was shocked and didn't want to, then I had a talk with father and accepted it." "Hmm. I see. Well I was shocked when I found out that when I met Ezra he was a prince. Then they betrothed me to him. As for Leon well…I'm sure you know the story." "Yes that is part of the story we will talk about."
Then I finally saw my brother pop in. "Hey Jet." "Hey big sis. Thanks for sending for me." Then he gave me a hug. I hugged him back. "Well what's been going on with you?" "Well I accepted them and I told them to call you your birth name when you are alone. That I told them you would accept them in time." "Yeah that's fine. If you say so sis. So what's this about our family?" "They are about to tell us." "Mind if we stay?" Said Ezra and Leon just walked in. "No come in. It would be good for you to hear about your future wife's family." Said Dad. "Ok Good." "Are you sure you are ready to hear it?" "Yes I am." "OK. Well then. As you know I am the King and I was born Royal. As for your mother that was a different story. Selene, do you want to tell it or should I?"
"I will dear. Well have you ever thought that being with dragons was comfortable?" "Y-Yeah well the first dragon I saw I was scared. Then when I was lifted into the air and dropped down from the goddess I was officially the dragon princess I wasn't so scared anymore. The first dragon I saw ended up being the prince after all. Then after that I wasn't so scared. For some reason they felt like home." "Yes. There is a reason for that. Well my birth parents were killed. I was left alone in the forest. Then a dragon I thought were fiction came up to me. I didn't understand why, but I could understand them. I was never the dragon princess but my mother was. Yes the woman who died you called mother is my older sister. So the people who raised you are really your aunt and uncle. Your aunt is my sister as well. There were only 3 of us sisters. We were left in the forest once our parents died. Since I was the only one who could understand dragons they stood behind me. Yes even my older sister. So I bowed to him to show respect and told him my name and reason I was out here. I was 8 years old my older sister was 10 and your aunt is the baby. She was only 5 years old. So he accepted to take us in. He told us to hop on his back and my older sister helped us up then she hopped on. The dragons name was Dion. He was a silver dragon. So basically since then we were raised by them. In a few days of living with them a boy came by. We didn't know that once in awhile a boy around my age was coming by to spend time with them. So when he saw us he was shocked." "Let me guess. It was father?" I heard her chuckle. "Yes. Yes it was. He introduced himself. My older sister shielded us to protect us until Dion and the others said it was ok. So I told my sister and she put her hands down. So my big sister went up to him and asked him what he wanted. He was offering to take us to his palace to learn to read and write. My sister agreed to have him teach us but it would have to be where we are staying. So he went back to talk to his family and thy agreed for him to come once in awhile. Then time passed and I was in my 20's Your father and I were so in love back then. I was also pregnant with you then Zelda. Your father thought it would be safer if I stayed with the dragons while I was pregnant with you. My older sister ended up finding a village and meeting a man she loved. As you know my baby sister ended up with her husband as well. I was the only one that decided to stay with the dragons. I missed my sisters but was happy for them. So when It was close to time to give birth, that was the first time I saw one of the dragons turn human. I was shocked. I didn't' know because it was the first time they turned human in front of me or when I was awake. So the one the shifted was a girl doctor. She helped me deliver you. That was when we decided to name you Ocean. As you know a year later we had your brother a week after your first birthday. That is when things took a turn for the worst. Your father suggested I take you and baby Kai to the village where my older sister was. So I did just that. They were shocked at first but accepted and told us they would change your names. I agreed. I was still weak since I just had baby Kai, your father hid me in the forest. Dion and some others were killed but others I was told survived and got away. So that Is my story. You know the rest. I went looking for you and for some reason, my sister and you both weren't there anymore. I guess you all must have moved or something. Then not long after the attack happened. Then I feared the worst but your father never gave up."
"Wow! That is amazing! What about now? Is it safe to visit father?" "Well I am King now and both my parents have passed. As for the man who was attacking the place we haven't heard from in years so I would say so." "Ok well after I visit your sister and brother in law I will come see you? How far is the castle from theirs?" "Well lets see. If you fly on a dragon it can be half the time. Its about 1 week away." "Ok so I wont have to travel too far. So father what about you? Is there anything I need to know about your side of the family?" "No just a normal human family." "OK then good to know." I looked at my brother to make sure he was ok. He still looked in shock. "Jet are you ok? Jet. Jet. Jet!" I touched his face and he came back. "Sorry sis. I'm ok. I was just a little shocked." Then he cleared his throat. "So mom. Are you sure your parents were human?" said Jet. "As far as we know mom and dad were. Unless there was something they were hiding." "Hmm. I see."
"Mom and dad? Do you both mind if I had someone learn more just to be sure you are both human?" "Sure we wouldn't mind. We will tell you anything we know." "Thanks that is helpful."
Once I got the info from them I gave the info to Ezra to send for someone to look them up.
Not long after there was a knocked on the door. I opened it and Zoe was there. "Ok guys. I have training. If you all want to watch that would be cool." The twins were excited but Jet sadly had to leave. Ezra had to work. Leon would be there as well as my birth parents.
"Ok well follow me." Then I followed Zoe and they followed me. Once we got there I went to change then came out. "Ok whose ready for a fight?" The only ones that came out were Aries and Nakita. "Oh come on. It has seriously been awhile. Are all of you chicken? I swear I will hold back on some of you." "I'll take you on." Said Sitka. "Really you? Well I guess its better than nothing. Lets go." So we started fighting. Since it had been awhile I almost lost but turned the other way the last minute.
"Anyone else?" I said. I saw my brother Grey look up at our parents to confirm. "I will sister." Said Grey. I looked at our mom and dad and they nodded. "Ok do you need a handicap? Should I go all out?" "Lets go all out." said Grey. "OK then. If it gets too much let me know I will slow down." "Sure." Then we started fighting.
"Your good little bro." "Yeah my master is really good. I still can't beat him yet but almost." "OK well you are getting me good so I should finish it." "OK lets see what you got sis." "Ok you asked for it." So I did my finishing move and pinned him down. I was the winner. "Good fight Grey." I helped him up. We both were out of breath. "Hey little bro who is your sword master?" "Her name is Sim." "Wait a min. is that Leon's sister?" "Yes it is. By the way where is Leon?" "Sorry I'm late here I am. What are we talking about?" "Were talking about your sister sim as his instructor." "Oh so that is where she ended up. Have you beat her yet?" "She said I'm not far off from beating her." "Good for you kid. Sorry I missed your fight Zel." "Its fine did your business go ok?" "Yeah for now. Oh yeah Ezra needs you for a bit." "Ok everyone see you later I got some business to do." I waved and said goodbye to everyone.
"Where is Ezra?" "Oh He is in his office." said a butler. I walked fast to his office.
"Is Everything ok Ezra?" "Oh you're here." "Yeah you look like crap. When was the last time you slept?" Probably 2 nights ago." "Well once we are done with our business you are going to sleep. NO excuses I'll lay with you." "Fine. OK so this came for you." I looked at the letter and saw it was from Oliver. "Well looks like I have to go to Oliver's village tomorrow." "Is he ok?" "Yeah I'll let you know after I get back." So follow me. Have Leon do what he can." "Yeah ok lets go." Ezra couldn't even get up so I helped him. I was strong enough. "Leon do what you can to lighten his load. I taking him to bed." "Yeah sure is everything ok?" "Yeah I'll be gone tomorrow for a couple of days. I'll send word when I am coming back." "Ok sounds good."
I finally got Ezra to bed. I laid with him and I fell asleep almost as fast as he did but cuddled with him.
After a few hours I saw Ezra still asleep. I left him alone to sleep and sent a letter out to Oliver. I went out and saw Leon. "Hey Leon did you get a lot done?" "Well not much I can do but I did a few pages." "Ok thanks. He is still sleeping. If he is not awake in an hour check on him for me. I have to get stuff ready for Olivers tomorrow." The next day I was gone before Ezra and Leon wake up.
I finally made it to Olivers. He was waiting for me at the gate. "Hey Oliver. So are they ready for me?" "Almost. Go ahead on in." "Ok cool."
I waited 4 more minutes and the kids showed up. As usual I had my assistants with me. Nova and Elektra. Also Hawk decided to come along with me. Once I saw all the kids, I noticed I knew a few of them. So I introduced myself. "Hello everyone. Many of you know me others don't. My name is Zelda. Yes I am the dragon princess. I brought a friend with me today but first I'll have my assistants introduce themselves." "Hello My name is Elektra" "Hello my name is Nova." "Ok very good. Now as for my friend here, he will tell you his name and who he is." "Hello Kiddo's the names Hawk. I'm a dragon. I am one of the dragons that the princess chose. Maybe if its ok with the Zelda and the boss here I can show you all sometime?" Most of the kids got excited. "OK cool." "Ok thanks for that introduction Hawk. Ok kids. First I will have Hawk here show you how we fight, then I will have you each spar to see your levels. So Hawk should I go first or you go?" "You can go first. I don't want to embarrass myself." "Ok then here it goes." I went towards him and he blocked me. Then the fight went on for awhile and it ended being a draw. "Very good. You've been training Hawk." We were so out of breath we could barely talk. We heard some clapping and saw Oliver and a pretty woman come over to us.
After we calmed down we greeted them. "Hello Oliver. When did you get here?" "Whan I saw you pin him to the ground the first time." "Oh well. Anyway who is this?" "Oh this is my sister. She is 18 years old. She wanted to check things out here." "My name is Alaria." "Nice to meet you Alaria my name is Zelda. This here is my old friend Hawk my assistants Elektra and Nova." "Nice to meet you all. I guess you should get back to class." "Yeah. Also can we get a chance to meet? I'll be here for a few days." "Yeah sure. I'll have Oliver do that. He arranges everything." I nodded. "Hawk don't even think about it." "What? I didn't say anything yet." "I know that look. Lets get down to business. Ok now did all of you see the way we fought? Is there any questions before you all start sparring?" The kids were all teenagers and one of them raised a hand. "Zelda are you married?" "Any questions related to sparring. No I am not married but I have fiance's" No one raised there hand so. "Ok I will have Hawk go around and give pointers to the ones who he thinks can use it. He will be staying here to. After he and I both observe you, we will be picking teams. We will pick the children we think will benefit for help. You all will be chosen but we need to observe to see how we can help you. Ok begin."
Once the kids fought for an hour Hawk said, "Ok lets all stop." So the kids stopped. "Ok now when I call your name you will be on my team. When Hawk calls you, you will be on his." So we called each kid until it was the last one. Then I said, "Ok so we will work with our teams to get better at sparring. Now its time to go to your homes now. I will see you all tomorrow.
I took a deep breath and let it out. Then I went to go sit on the bench. I saw Hawk and my assistants worried look. "I'm fine guys. Just tired. So I should go find Oliver. I need to talk to him about something." "Oh yeah I'll go and look around for something to do." "Please don't cause trouble for me Hawk. Its hard enough I told Hawk I would do this. Remember we have a battle coming up." "Yeah I know." Then he waved and I hit my head and shook it. "Ok you two lets find Oliver."
We finally found Oliver. I told him that Hawk and I found our teams to train. "Oh good. That's good. Have you found time to train your dragons?" "Oh crap no. Although most of them can kick my but already. That is pretty much why I chose them." "OK well train them for now. When you go home in a few days you should train yourself." "Wait Oliver. Why don't I train with you? I can still train here when I am done with the kids or in between." "Well if I am not busy then yeah just tell me when." "Ok cool thanks. I need a challenge." I heard him chuckle as he was walking away. I saw him wave then rolled my eyes.
A few days later it was finally time for me to leave. Hawk as well. Our students saw us off. "OK Everyone. Remember what we taught you ok? You will have instructors now that are stronger than us. When we see you again we want to see your progress ok?" They all said "Yes Master!" Then Hawk said a little speech then they said the same thing. We waved to them and left. I did train the last few days I was there with Oliver.
