Defendant Prince

I Meet New Friends

AN: This chapter is one year later from the last.

I looked down at my chest plate. There was a deep tear through my metal chest plate. I was defending these two letter carriers. I jump left as the dragon snaps at me. I stand between the dragon and the letter carriers.

One was a female Redguard, and the other was a male also a Redguard. I nock an arrow. I pull back the string all the way. The arrow flies loose from the string and sails towards the dragon. It sails and reaches its target. I targeted for the head. The arrow found the head, into the eye.

RAWRR!! The dragon snarled as the arrow pierced his eye. He got what he deserved. I guess he didn't get that. He only shook of the pain. Where was Legolas? Where was he when I needed him the most? I look back at the male letter carrier. He looked straight into my eyes with fear. I grabbed a swords from my back. I slung off my arrows. I threw him the bow and arrows. He got the message. Shoot the dragon.

The dragon saw the threat and charged. I went right. But it wasn't after me. It blew fire at him. All of a sudden a energy ward appeared and protected him. I knew who it was.

Legolas grabbed the bow out of the guys hand and started shooting arrows at the dragon.
"Who would be stupid enough to give this buffoon a bow," He muttered. He continued shooting and drove the dragon off the ridge. It took flight blowing fire everywhere.

I looked over at Legolas and nodded. I wasn't scared of heights. Yet. I ran towards the dragon and leaped off the ridge.

I soared towards it. I landed on its back. I didn't have good balance, so I kept shaking. It tried to shake me off, but I hung on. I stood up and ran up its neck careful not to fall off. When I got to its head, I looked down at Legolas arrow drawn and pointed at the dragon. I knew he wouldn't hit me, he was to good of a shot to hit me.

I got ready. No matter how much the dragon tired to shake me off I clung on.

I drove my sword into its head. I felt the wings slowing down. At the ridge Legolas was beckoning me towards him. I got up and ran. I jumped off of it head and soared into to air headed for the ridge. I felt free fall for a second. It felt nice. All of that came to a stop when the ridge was coming towards me fast. I prepared to land. The land rushed by me so quick. It felt like there was no chance of survival.

The land finally came and I tucked and rolled when I hit it. I landed on my ankle. Immediately I felt pain. My vision blurred then cleared, then blurred again. This made me nauseous. Legolas picked me up and put me on his horse.
"You two get on that horse," He demanded. His voice was so stern. We rode for a while but I couldn't count how long.

The pain flared every time we were on a bumpy path. Which was like the ride. I couldn't take it anymore. It hurt a lot. I couldn't see anything.

We arrived at the castle and I was rushed to the medics as soon as we got off the horse. They gave me some herbs and some water. I was really tired. I finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

When I woke up the two letter carriers we at my side and Legolas was with them too.
"You took a hell of a fall," He said with proudness in his voice.
"Yea thanks, you saved our lives," The male Redguard said. He looked over at the other Redguard. They did looks similar. Same hair color. Same nose.

"Are you guys siblings," I asked the male Redguard.
"Yea we are. I'm Leo and this is Natasha," He punched his sister lightly on the shoulder.
"The king has offered us a position if we can get some sponsors," Natasha said.
"Well that's great. I'll help you get some once I get out of here," I said.
"You'll get out of here in a day or two. But for now let's get down to the sad stuff. Your bow string snapped, and the shaft got melted. You lost one of your swords. You have a deep hole in your armor. I Alden then about it and they said they can't fix it because it is too deep, they also said the best thing would be to get more armor," He said with solemn.

"Oh. Well can't I go get some more armor?" I asked.
"No you need a sponsor to get some. And the king can't sponsor you because his money is going towards the war. So it looks like you weapon less and armor less," He said.

What was I going to do if I didn't have any weapons or armor?
