Daughter of a dragon. [Sima Shi :Book 1]

Chapter 1

Lu fan loves the thrill of battle.

She's been studying hard while sitting at her uncle's side since she was young. Her mother hated it, she never wanted Lu fan to get involved with war. She wanted her to act more like a lady, and less like a warrior. But this girl was not the civil type. She loved the idea of plot ideas, and making tactics. Her plan was to wear less silk and fancy garbs,and more armor. Practice her swordsmanship. She always wanted to go out into war, she's been training for it. Thrusting her blade into the air and swirling around until she saw blue aura travel behind her.

"Lady Fan, " A voice called out. Lu Fan was too wrapped into her training, that even she turned around, her blade aiming to strike the space behind her - she had met a feathered spear. Hands only inches away from her sword.

"You never cease to amaze me,Lady Fan." She jumped back in distance, and saw Zhao Yun with a sweet smile on his face. Lu Fan always found herself envious of Zhao Yun. He had been in countless of wars, fighting to protect Shi. Lui Bei, Guan Yi,Even Uncle Liang praise him. He was the tiger of Shi, and far more stronger that she will ever become. Lu Fan only wanted to become strong enough to go out with her uncle and her lord. "You're getting stronger by the day . " He smiled.

Lu Fan nodded to herself, before holding her blade to her waist. Her eyes looking away from him,and towards the ground . No matter how strong she is, no one will see that she's ready to go out on the field.

"I'm not strong enough...! " she snapped, Zhao Yun smiled at her. His hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe you require someone to train with you. " He offered, Lu Fan stayed silent, before turning her back and walking off. Zhao Yun looked confused as to where she is going.

"What are you planning to Do, My Lady? " He asked, rushing towards her. Attempting to catch up to Lu Fan. The girl had let out a frustrating sigh, and walked faster. Her eyes scanning around the city until she had found the grand palace. Where lord Liu Bei lives. She looks up at the rather large building -

And feels large hands grabbing hold of her small wrists.

"Lord Liu Bei has respected your uncle's wishes involving you in war,My Lady. " Zhao Yun said, while pulling the small girl back.

"You must remain here until we return. "

Lu Fan shook her head. "I want to fight! I hate staying here and doing nothing! " She blurts out to the young general. Zhao Yun sighed, and looked passed her at the long line of horses rushing forward. Traveling fast. The carriage looked as if it held resources for the upcoming war. Zhao Yun quickly pulled Lu Fan's hand dragged her off the street.

"This is why you cannot fight in wars... you will easily die there. I cannot watch you all the time. " He says, Lu Fan snatches her hand away, and crosses her arms.

"I don't need you to watch me! " She snapped. "I'm no child! Plus there are other women on the battlefield with you and against you. "

Zhao Yun was smirking ,his hands on his hips and his brown eyes locked on Lu Fan. She was beautiful to him. Her eyes were almond shaped and her lips reminded him of well crafted bow. The way her hair shifted sides and fell passed her back. He wanted to touch her, and kiss her. The only thing that stopped him; was her uncle.

" The women on the field are there to support their husbands. You aren't married, so you do not have to be there. " He said, getting close. His fingers tilting her chin upwards, so their eyes would lock. "I wouldn't know what to do with myself if something were to happen to this beautiful face."

She turned her face away from him and covered her cheeks from his eyes. That was when she heard chuckling. A warm and enthused laugh. Her eyes spotted him too late.

"Lady Fan, " Liu Bei greeted, making the woman drop to an immediate bow.

"Lord Liu Bei, " The young girl greeted. "I was going to see you. I wish to have word with you about -"

"I rather you not come , Lu Fan. " Liu Bei interrupted. "Zhuge Liang will have my head, had he seen you there. I will have you stay in the main camp. " Lu Fan wasn't exactly thrilled not to go out on the field,but she was happy about going to the main camp.

And she had stayed there. Watching the soldiers ready themselves against Wei. She wore her green gear and kept her spear nearby, her eyes floating around the scene,as she saw green flags surrounding her.

"Uncle, " she ran up to the man. A feathered Fan in his hand. He gave a thin sincere of a grin to the young woman. Zhuge Liang wasn't as thrilled to see his niece walking around the main camp, but he would rather have her here than out in war. That way he knew she would be safe from harm.

"Lu Fan... You're really here...?" He asked. Mainly to himself,but the girl nodded before dropping down to a bow.

"I was fortunate enough to see you in action." She said with a smile. " I pray for your victory, Uncle."

Her uncle smiled ,while the two began to walk the camp. He would have her name tactics and weapons. She would pass his tests, and create tactics of his own.

"Master Liang, " one of the tacticians had called out. The genius Tactician gave one last grin to his niece before going to check with Liu Bei. Lu Fan immediately looked after her own plans. While her uncle was away, she had some of the men stay along the gates. And up top, hiding of course. They need not to have Liu Bei catching wind of this plan of hers. If so,she'll never come to the main camp again.

And Lu Fan did not want that to happen.

While the tacticians conversed with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, Zhao Yun saw it best to grab hold of Lu Fan and speak with her before the others were ready. Having grabbed her by her wrist, Zhao Yun dragged his friend towards one of the tents.
"Whatever you have planned, stop it now. " he says while letting her go,her arms crossed while glaring at her.
"I just thought that the camp should touch up the defenses. We don't need Cao Cao and his men walking in so easily. " she says, Zhao Yun narrows his eyes at the girl. Though she has a point,he still didn't want her to be so reckless. He wouldn't mind seeing her in the main camp waiting for him -Not that she would actually wait for him there.
"I just want you to remain safe. " He said. "Cao Cao and Wei forces can be cruel and deadly. Maybe your strategy could keep them back. "
He nods and just as Lu Fan was about to leave, Zhao Yun pulled her back into his arms and stared at her. This was the first time he held her with such caution. His eyes locked onto hers, and his head lowered closer towards hers. He had thought about it. Kissing her. He had been wanting to do it for years, and had never brought himself towards the position he's in now.
"I think you must leave now... " she whispered. Stepping out of his embrace, and finding ways to soothe her roaring heart. Zhao Yun smiled to himself, before lowering his hands and bowing to Lu Fan. Then temptation bit him, and he kissed her cheek, his lips whispering a promise of return. Lu Fan smiled, and nodded, before watching the men leave. Her smile vanishing when she saw soldiers patting him on his back, and Liu Bei conversing with him. She even noticed the two men glancing back at her. Grinning.

Lu Fan never knows what is going on when it comes to Zhao Yun. She had spent the entire day holding the side of her face .
