The Dragon's Flame Queen ✔

Chapter I - The Red-haired Girl with Blue Flames

"Top speed!" The feminine voice screamed from the carriage behind him as the carriage carrying himself and two other carriages with the rest of his men rushed over the cobbled stony road of the marketplace. The chaos broke out immediately and the shopkeepers closed the curtains and drew the wooden barriers, the rest public ran towards the alleys and inside the buildings.

"They're getting close, hurry!" Reed Cresswell in the carriage ahead shouted at his man, the carriage jumped once making the small children bundled and tied up inside whimper.

The carriage pursuing them suddenly disappeared and Reed clenched his teeth, they were close to the harbour and from there he'd load the children and set sail for the North West to sell the children there, the Fireborn orphan wizards would make great money. He could almost see his money but suddenly a certain carriage swerved out of the intersection blocking his way. The fiery curly red-haired dame came into his view and he hurriedly ordered his man to stop before they could clash into the other carriage.

The trio jumped from the carriage and then shot right at his carriage, he had no other option now, he would have to fight. He jumped down from the carriage casting a spell of a long-range attack at the three. Reed Cresswell was an Iceborn mage and could cast the High tier spells, deadly enough to kill an army of low tier mages. There were levels in magic ranging from the low tiers the weakest mages till the God tiers who were only legends that were lost in the history, the most powerful of all alive were the Emperor tier wizards who were the part of the Magic Council.

Some of Reed's men gathered around to grab and deliver the children till his ship while he and the rest kept these three intruders on the bay. Reed casted the ice lances on the trio, they continued dodging them but it was clearly an outnumbered match because he and his men were fifteen currently fighting and five of them were sneaking away the children. These three stood no chance before him and his gang, he smirked as he avoided a fireball from one of the wizards and planted his fist on the ground to freeze the floor completely along with the feet of his opponents. Reed's eyes somehow were fixated on the girl who was- had currently taken down four of his men?! He noticed that her flames unlike the other fireborn wizards weren't orange, they were a strange shade of blue. A Unique? He wondered as her skill was somewhat different. The Uniques were the special wizards who were born with a rare anomaly and just like the title they were unique and very rare.

The girl turned and now Reed found himself facing her, he smirked, A unique versus a High tier? That would be an interesting match. He prepared himself for her attack, she eyed him and he noticed her blazing green eyes, those orbs felt like a predator's gaze. He smirked, he'd not had a worthy opponent for quite a while and those eyes promised a good fight. Reed casted a spell to freeze her feet but she was already moving. He sidestepped swiftly as she passed through, her movements were a blur of purple as the shades of her hair and her flames got mixed. He sent an icy blast which narrowly hit her but it didn't make her fall, she barely stayed still as she came in with swift attacks. He pulled out his sword and engaged in close combat, she wasn't going for a magic fight, huh.

Her sword was out before he could see it but he turned right in time to avoid the blade, he swung his hand to swipe a cut but she'd already moved. What was she? How could she move so fast? He saw the bright red in his peripheral vision with the blink of steel and he ducked right in time before her sword could chop his head. Was this girl crazy? She was out for murder?

"Hey, you crazy or something?" He shouted as he blocked her sword, her eyes radiated the heat that he felt would melt his sword.

"I should ask you the same thing. You who kidnaps the children to sell them off as slaves." She snarled and Reed noticed that she was out for murder, this was no game.
