Princess Of The Flame |Dota: Dragons Blood|

Part 25.

~

I awoke with a sharp gasp. All I felt was a sharp pain in the back of my head. What in the name of Mene just happened? All that I remember was being in my room then the 2 Knights-

Looking around, I would find myself in a cell. Not only that, but strange flesh restraints had been placed upon my arms and legs. My heart began to race with terror and my breaths quickened. Oh Mene...Father had them put me in here. That fucking BASTARD!

I pulled against the fleshy restraints, the sound they make made my stomach lurch. My fear began to grow far more intense.

"LET ME OUT!!" I screamed.

But no one would reply. I was alone again. Being alone with only my thoughts was nothing short of silent torture since I had met Slyrak. I may have told I enjoyed it, but it was truly wasn't. All an act. My eyes filled with tears and I would get onto my knees.

"Oh Mene...please, PLEASE help me in this dire time of need..! I am petrified and unsure of what to do..!" I pleaded.

My tears fell to the floor and stained the bricks beneath me. The Knights threw me in here with what seemed to be no remorse or regret. It truly hurt that not even my father seemed to have attempted to stop this. I hid my face within my hands.

"Psst!" A voice said.

With that I looked up.

"Who's there..?" I asked.

Suddenly, Fymryn dropped from the ceiling. I was quickly filled with joy and relief upon seeing the Elf.

"Fymryn..! You're alright..!"

She nodded.

"I'm here to get you out."

"Thank you..."

She pulled one of her disk like weapons and began hacking at the flesh. But to our surprise, it was not working at all. The Elf cursed under her breath as she only struck harder. But alas, still nothing was working.

"Shit...I don't think your weapons are powerful enough..."

"I don't know what else to do..."

That's was when I was struck with an idea.

"Find Davion, he'll know what to do. But be careful, the Knights don't take well to intruders."

Fymryn nodded and stood up, vanishing into a cloud of black mist.

"Please hurry..."

Davion was searching the castle for Skylana. He was starting to grow worried as he couldn't seem to find her anywhere. Her room was empty, the corridors were barren as the majority of the Dragon Knights were in the dining hall. Where could she have gone?

He turned into another corridor when he could hear the voice of Father coming from his laboratory. The Dragon Knight slowly crept up to the closed door and began to eavesdrop.

"The Dragon within that girl is no ailment, but instead a gift. He has given her abilities beyond my comprehension. I just need more of her blood...all of it if necessary."

Davion was mortified upon hearing the priest ramble to himself. She had been right to fear Father all along, because he was about to do what she had told him. Use the tools that were used for the dragon cadavers upon her. The man slowly stepped away as to not alert Father to his presence.

Once he was far enough away, he bolted down the corridor. He had to find Skylana before Father did if he hadn't already. Davion came to a stop to catch his breath, trying to think of where she could be.
