The Dragon Prince - Soren x reader (f)

- The Final Battle -

Sunrise comes and Soren goes up to the top to grab Callum and Rayla.

It's time for a battle meeting.

I meet them all half way down the stairs, stepping into pace with Rayla. Soren talks solemnly to Callum behind us.

"Is he... applogising?" My friend asks me, overhearing the boys conversation.

I smile at her, "he has a big heart," I say. I can hear the heartfelt confession Soren is making. It's beyond sweet.

Until he adds an also.

"He's still a doof though," I mention to Rayla. She just shakes her head at me. "Hey, if him and I are gonna be a thing, you're gonna have to-"

"A thing!? (Y/n)!?," she exclaims.

"What? You and Callum are hitting it off, all kissy and lovey dovey, so yes," I tell her.

She just laughs, "good luck with that."

We both turn around to see Soren squeezing the life out of poor Callum. I chuckle and Rayla shakes her head smiling. Looking down, Viren and his army are definitely close now. Soren steers me inside, it would be okay.

We sit down and listen to Amaya's talk, Callum translating for her.

"We have one objective today, protect the Dragon Prince."

"At any cost," Rayla cuts in.

Janai steps forward as Bait crawls into Soren's lap. I give the little glowtoad a belly rub. "The forces of Lux Aurea will fight bravely," she declares. "To the last elf standing." Her, and all of her companions in the room preform an action they do when swearing an oath.

Two hands crossing each other, fanned out over the face as they bow.

"We will be outnumbered," Amaya continues signing, "but their forces are vicious and sloppy. Our job is to hold the line."

"What happens if some break through?" Soren questions from beside me.

The General continues, Callum speaking for her, "that's when our natural advantage comes into play." Callum picks up his drawing pad, showing everyone a layout of our battlefield.

"The spire itself. While they try to climb up, they'll be vulnerable," he explains. "I'll be able to pick them off easily, with my zap hands!!" He announces. "Pew pew!"

Zym whimpers in front of him before walking past and up the stairs. He curls into a ball at the top, Bait climbs off Soren to join him.

Soren and I stand up, "don't worry buddy," I tell the baby dragon, "Rayla will be here with you."

Janai steps forward, "and she shall be a worthy defender. The last Dragon Guard."

Rayla beams at the title.

I give my friend one last hug before we set off down the Spire.

Once at the bottom, the Sunfire elves are already in position. Soren and I join the ones at the front.

"You ready?" I ask him for some small talk.

"Always," he answers, winking at me. I smile at the confidence.

He will be fine... he has to be.

I hear the echoing swoop of wings as Amaya and Janai land. They both dismount and the creature takes off.

The General comes towards us, lightly hitting Soren's chest plate with her first before doing the same to mine. It's her own way of telling us we've got this. Soren and I both give her a sure nod of confidence.
