~The Secret Guardian~

Chapter 2:~Heart of The Dragon~

Reyna woke up to Lily shaking her awake and she let out a deep sigh. "Lily, go back to bed," she said sleepily. Lily sighed and shook the Dragon Princess once again. "Come on, Reyna!," she exclaimed, "The time has started moving thanks to you! It's time to begin the quest of helping Christian and Adelina to break the curse with finding out who they are," Reyna sat up in the bed and sighed deeply. She got out of her bed and took out some new clothes out of her suitcase before getting dressed.

They walked down the stairs and out of the hotel building. Outside, people of the whole time was walking and Reyna walked beside Lily who walked and held a book in her hands. She looked at her curiously. "What's that?," she asked. Lily looked up at her. "It's the book about all the stories of the peoples in this town," she explained, "I hope it can help the people of Shivanna to remember who they truly are," Reyna gave a slight nod. "Well, that sounds easy," she said ironically. Lily shook her head and sighed and they continued down the road. "Lily, you know that man we met in the hotel reception yesterday?," she began. "Mhmm," Lily mumbled, "What's with him?," Reyna sighed deeply and looked down at her. "He's my father," she explained, "He saved me from the curse," Lily looked up at her shocked. "What!? That's wonderful news!," she said. Reyna shrugged. For the last year before the curse, she and her father had been fighting a lot. Mostly because she had began disobeying him and left his realm and been out without his permission. But also because her father thought she didn't pay enough attention to her studies and training. "A future Dragon Lord/Lady must be well prepared and prove that they're worthy of their Dragon Lord/Lady mark/symbol before they can be declared a fulfilled Marvena," her father had said some days before the curse. "My father and I haven't had the best relationship," Reyna admitted, "We haven't known each other for such a long time," Lily nodded. "I'm sorry," she said. Reyna smiled, "Don't worry about that," Suddenly, a car drew up by the sidewalk. It was the sheriff's car and out of the car stepped a young man with short golden blonde hair and blue eyes. She immediately understood that it was Christian who had been cursed to be the Sheriff of the town. Now she wondered who Adelina might be. "Nicholas Carlton, Sheriff of Wealdstone," Mr Black interrupted behind them. "No wife, no children despite that he has eyes for Anastasia Lindsay," 'Of course they aren't together in this world under the curse!,' Reyna thought sadly. Mr Black turned to Reyna. "Have a lovely day, you two," he said and left. Lily looked up at Reyna. "What's the plan? How shall we get them together?," she asked. Reyna smiled and turned to the young girl. "I have my ideas," she said and placed her hand on the dragon necklace around her neck.
