The Dragon Prince - Soren x reader (f)

- To the Spire? -

Oh my god.

"Can I have a hand?" I dully ask the air in-front of me and two sets of arms pull me to my feet. I note Soren and Callum's constant presence which makes me feel slightly better.

Very slightly.

The only thing on my mind is what the actual fuck is going on right now.

As I stand in pondering silence, it comes to my attention that those around me don't know what Ibis was talking about.

I stay quiet as the world continues on as usual. Callum looks at me curiously before joining in irritated conversation with Rayla and Ezran.

Why aren't they freaking out!?

Soren puts his head in my line of vision and it's when I realise they clearly don't know anything. "We need to talk after this," I murmur to him.

He just nods at me, "you alright?"

I look back down at my feet, shaking my head softly, I tell him, "no."

The Dragon Queen steps around us. I look up at her but my eyes don't focus on her body as they are captured by the stars instead.

What awful news for such a beautiful night.

"King Ezran," Zubeia speaks, "thank you for this visit to your kingdom, but I'm afraid it's time for me to return to mine."

She's intelligent. The Queen of dragons. I wonder if she knows the depth of Ibis' words.

"No! Please don't go yet," Ezran protests. "If this 'Fallen Star' is a danger the whole world will face," he states, "we could solve our problems together."

By the look on her face, it confirms to me that she does indeed know of the urgency of this matter.

"I'm taking Zym and we are leaving immediately," Zubeia makes clear.

But as she calls upon the Dragon Prince, he is nowhere in sight. The Queen's frustrated manor explains how this behaviour is reoccurring.

The King focuses his thoughts, closing his eyes. "He hasn't gone far," Ezran makes clear. "I'll go get him and bring him back."

I switch on my thinking brain and turn towards the King. "I'll accompany you," I state with stern nod and he smiles at me.

"That means me too," Soren says proudly and Ezran looks at him sheepishly.

"Guys he's really just around the corner," Ezran says and give him a look trying to say we need to talk right now and he directs his words at Soren, "(Y/n) and I will be quick."

As we make distance away from the crowd I look at my friend gently as he awaits my words, "obviously that was Ibis we saw," he inclines his head in agreement, "but that was his last breath."

I watch the young King's eyes widen in the shock of grief. "Oh," is all he says as we spot Zym at an edge, gazing at the distant lands. As we tell the dragon prince to return with us, Ezran's pace slows and I follow in step. "So this is bad?"

I look at my friend apologetically, never wanting to be the barer of bad news. "I'm afraid so," I admit. "I needed to talk to you because this goes beyond being just bad." He frowns knowingly at me. "We can talk more about it later with everybody," I promise, "but just know with my knowledge of the situation as a whole... there is no happy ending."

Ezran looks at me sideways as we approach people again and I watch as he tries to smile, but it obviously isn't reaching his eyes. "I hope this is your flair for dramatics, (Y/n)," he focuses his attention back to Zym as we part our way through the crowds.
