We would find ourselves in a room of a castle which was located in the center of a continent; in it we would come to find two small children, one of them becomes a girl which had some characteristics of a dragon as a normal human in some respects, in the same way in that appeared running in the direction of her, who was a boy with opposite characteristics being this a human child of complete form, who both would begin to start to put their room all a commotion without taking into consideration that they could stumble.
It is in that that would enter their parents who in the same way were different as also being equal to their children, with the difference that they had some marks like wounds healed of some cuts which were notorious as of already years ago present in some parts of their arms and in other zones; it is in it that both approached their children and would take them carrying to their corresponding beds one next to the other thus putting both of them to bed.
"Well my little ones, it is time for you to go and rest, after all you have been playing all morning."
Would be saying the mother with an aura of tranquility as she observes her children.
"Tomorrow you can continue to have fun in the fairy gardens, after all I heard that you have built your new lake of spiritual magic."
"Ok mom but we too would like them to tell us a bedtime story please."
Would say the little girl in her bed as she would cuddle her pillow which had a slime like look to it, waiting for the answer from both of them, this being supported with her brother who also wanted to hear the story.
"Yes, please mom and dad we want to hear a story right now, like yours, we want to know how you two met and fell in love, please."
The boy would have said in those moments thus brandishing a wooden sword as if he were a knight, until what would have been stopped by his father who took his sword from him so that he could lie down without making any fuss.
"Mmm... Okay, we are going to tell you the story but it is going to be done from the beginning so that you understand well what happened later, do you like the idea children?"
The father would say taking a chair to sit on it being in the middle of both beds watching both children.
"It's ok dad, it counts!"
Would say both siblings excitedly, at that the mother would stand in the middle of both children placing on the floor on a pillow, holding hands with her children.
"Well then I'll start right now, I'm going to start... I know, then I'll tell you..."
The father began to speak and to narrate to his children the story he had promised to them implying the events of several years ago.
He began to speak and the father narrated to his children the story that he had promised them, implying the events of several years ago.
This story begins... from the beginning of the centuries; a war came to be unleashed by a dispute in getting territory being this manipulated by hatred, resentment and differences, being that this came to feed a dark being hidden in the underground who was feeding on the dark energies in each one who was fighting thus encouraging them to continue so to be able to free themselves; After that many had fallen and others were wounded, one of each race being these 7, announced that the war was going to end because after the fight no one was going to be left to claim the land. When they announced this, everyone desisted from continuing to fight, thus removing the darkness from their hearts and ceasing to feed that being who, enraged, shouted but no one listened to him.
At the end of the war, it was announced a pact of not fighting before any race so each one would take a part of the territory in order to develop as they can, being these 7 species would become the monarchs of each new kingdom; thus passing several centuries after that war which was forgotten but that pact was still in force being that the only ones who knew the whole story was in a grimoire but disappeared after forgetting everything of the centuries anteriore.
In the current century; in the territory of the Red Dragon, the ruler of those lands ordered to bring his eldest daughter to whom he was going to give a news which may be the only thing that has taken that ruler as it was a matter of convenience. The princess, whose name is Mena, entered the throne room where the ruler was on his throne, greeting in a respectful manner since he was her father.
"You have called me dear father, what is the matter you want to talk about?"
Would be saying Mena in a calm manner in front of her father waiting for an answer from him so he could know what to react.
"My daughter, XXI princess of the Red Dragon kingdom, Mena Astra Infernal-Fire; from today I inform you that you will be engaged to Count Brenton Draco, he will be your husband and my future successor to the throne."
As the Ruler mentioned that, he thought his daughter was going to accept it but in reality she was refusing so with an anger she would start claiming for it as it was something she didn't want him to choose anymore.
"What?! Excuse me father, but I am going to refuse that, you well know that I do not want you to commit me to anyone since that is my decision and no one else's so you cannot commit me to anyone you consider since you do not know what you are going to do when you have your power and the power before all our people."
He would be claiming her father with a good argument but in reality, for him he did not care if his daughter refused or accepted, as he was going to do it anyway as long as he had someone on the throne as he did not trust his daughter to take that responsibility in her hands.
"Listen to me well! I will not accept that you deny it, I do it for the people, for the kingdom since it will need a new ruler when I am no longer on the throne. So you will understand sooner or later but he is going to be my new successor."
She would be angry with her father so walking to the exit without mentioning one last thing before going to her room, she would give a warning to her father with an angry expression.
"Listen to me well father... You are never going to force me to do what you wish... I am going to make my own decision so that will be clear to you..."
Mena would say to then leave the place thus going to her room with a great anger, taking her long sword thus starting to cut and destroy a mannequin which she had in her room with a dress of her thus starting to tear it to pieces with each cut she made thus letting cut fabric fall to the floor thus releasing all her anger on it leaving it half destroyed, to after minutes relax after having completely destroyed the mannequin, thus talking herself in the room thus saying thus herself.
"This time father... I will not let you control me like you do with mother... I will go out and find my own way of life without you taking my life as if I were a puppet... I... I will be free tonight so you will never see me again."
She would say to herself thus observing her sword so that in one motion she would take her hair thus cutting it off leaving the remains of her hair on the ground thus proclaiming only to her that she will change the course of her life until she finds what complements her in her life. After hours passed, in the middle of the night, she would get out of her bed with her clothes on being this one a military uniform being a red armor with a light design in case they wanted to chase her with a cape to hide her horns.
"Well... It's time for me to leave for good, so long home... I hope we can see each other some time later."
Mena when he finished declaiming that, he would open a hatch which was under his bed so entering it and closing the trap door so that no one knows of the place, in it he had to pass from a narrow tunnel to reach an extensive duct being a pit which with the help of his wings he would start to fly until he reached a crack which passed a little moonlight so he begins to dig his adventure. When leaving the duct, he would look to the sides until he put himself on a stone he would notice that he had finally left the castle, so he began to cover the hole to go unnoticed; and start walking in the opposite direction to the castle in order to leave the territory in which he was, so with a smile he knew that it would begin his new life as a lone warrior, as a mercenary more in order to survive and see the world which was outside the walls of his world.
In another realm, where humans lived, a young farmer was passing through the silent forest, who was beginning to return home after having sold some materials which he was making, but without knowing it, he was being watched by thieves who wanted to steal all the money he had at that moment.
