Just another Fantasy Story

Flashback..?

24 years ago.

As I stand at the alter in my best suit, I was tad anxious but excited to see my darling bride show up but overall I got my head in the clouds but as I was in thought the music started again and I Immediately snapped back to reality to see my bride gracefully walking through a crowd of sitting guests who came to watch this joyous event

she was wearing a simple long flowing gown with her hair in a little bun with multiple Brann Blossoms placed acrossed her hair but I did not notice these features at first, because the first thing I saw was her beautiful face, she was smiling at me sweetly while looking at me with her dreamy ash-grey eyes.

As she finally stood beside me, the priest started to speak but all I heard got tuned-out because I was too focused on looking at her. As I continued focusing at her features I was snapped back out of reality by the priest and I immediately started to say vows " U-Uhm, My dearest Yu-jin, you are my good luck, my burning flame in the cold and my everything so, to get the gist of my vows is that I want to spend my eternity with you, I want to see your beautiful face every single day, I want to give you the best version of myself for you and the kingdom you want to help rule with me and I am forever grateful for how you changed my life and this kingdom's history so, Thank you "

As I finished speaking my vows I saw her holding back her tears a bit which I found adorable but she quickly calmed herself as it was her turn to speak her vows " oh, My ever so-loving Alastair from the moment our paths met it was like our destinies were Intertwined, and thank you for saving my life from that horrid Beast for my own happily ever after! I have so much to be grateful for but not enough time to say them all so all I can say is I Love you Alastair "

As she Finished her vows, I saw some small tears streaming from her eyes, I wiped them off with a small smile which made her face a bit red, It made me chuckle a tad, The priest began to speak again " Do you take Yu-jin Huǒyàn as your lawfully wedded wife and Queen of Arcadia? " " I do " I calmly stated back to him " Do you Take Alastair Aura as your lawfully wedded Husband and King of Arcadia? " " I do! " she rejoiced loudly " Then, You may kiss the bri- "

when he tried To utter those five words, the colored-glass panels suddenly shattered mysteriously, we all started to stare at the glass pane but something came inside the chapel through the broken window, something that could change the kingdom's history.

It was a Beast.

The terrible beast my bride was talking about, the one I thought I defeated... but he's now here?

" Y-You... " I muttered under my breath, I suddenly when into a protective stance as I grip to my blade in it's sheath

The gaurds ran to the Beast ready to defeat it but Something else unexpected happened

The gaurds fell to their knees? " What the Giussen? " I mouthed to my myself, They seem weak? No way! They're my strongest gaurds but then the beast started walk over to the alter.

Closer...
And
Closer...

I quickly put my body infront of Yu-jin
She whimpered quietly into my ear
" P-Please Alastair, Don't fight him.. Just let him take me! It's not worth it "
I looked behind me as the beast was almost near us
" I'm sorry Yu-jin, but I can't let that happen to you again. "

The Beast was now infront of me, looking at me eye to eye.
" Give me back my dutchess. " he demanded, He showed his bat-like Wings angrily ready to attack
" Or else. " he quietly snapped.

I stood my ground and cleared my head
" No. by Giussen's name I will not allow you to hurt her again! " I exclaimed loudly

" No? "
He mocked.
He stared at me for a moment but
He took a hold of my neck lifting me high into the air, choking me without any mercy, His piercingly sharp nails stabbed to through the skin making me bleed in some areas. I tried to release his grip over my neck but nothing worked then, I saw Yu-jin trying to get him off but he pushed her aside, sending her to the ground with a head wound but she wouldn't give up

" Y-Yu-Jin, Stop! "
I tried to yell but He squeezed my neck tighter but she wouldn't listen so, I had to use my powers to hold her down to keep her down
" A-Alastair Please! Let me- "
Then...
.
.
.
I heard a slash then a stabbing noise

I fell down on the floor to see the beast howling in pain, his wings opened wider he turned around to try fight the attacker and it's
.
.
.
A knight?
I thought all the knights were weakened but he seem perfectly fine unless...
Y'know what? I don't care anymore

I stop using my powers on Yu-Jin and she immediately runs to me to stop the bleeding and she was trying to stay calm but I knew I had to be the one calming her but back to the knight

The knight was swift and quick one his feet

The knight was fighting with his sword but the Beast wasn't a giving up despite the injuries on his back

* Knight's Pov *
I'm fighting this fiend and it looks like he's not giving up easily, gosh this so stressful! Wait- focus!

I'm trying to slash him again to make him fly away but his skin is.. indescribably strong, It's like its made out of dragon's skin.

He's doing well even without a weapon, he's using his skin as a shield? Smart moves opponent.

I swung my sword swiftly to his chest making him bleed? So, It means there's weak spots to his skin

As I was thinking to myself I accidentally got slashed on my torso but it was a sorta shallow cut,
hurts like Jikoshi's blade

Even though I'm injured I continue to fight, I continue swinging my blade around, god my stomach hurts but I gotta focus here. Then..
.
.
.
** Slash! **
Blood.
Blood was everywhere
He wailed in agony like a banshee
I sliced off his arm... How horrifying but It's for the kingdom
...
Right?
He flew away immediately to the glass-pane window but before leaving he yelled
" This means War. We'll see you on the battlefield... good luck. "
He fled, leaving a horrific trail of blood and a decapitated arm

I went to pick up the arm but it started crumbling? It was turning to dust by the second and there was something shiny inside it, It was gold? No, no, wait. It can't be.. It's dragon's blood

I urgently checked the blood trail, it was turned to gold. The purest gold I've ever seen

I ran to king in a huff

" Sir! We have started the war with the Dragon Lord. " I declared to him cautiously

" I know, I know, my knight. "
He calmly stated

" Well then, I'll call upon reinforcements and the medics now sir "
He nodded in approval with his wife trying her best to stop the bleeding

I diligently run off before hearing the king call for me
" W-Wait! Sir knight, what is your title? "

I smile ever-so slightly, I take off my helmet to reveal my face to the king

" It's Madam White knight sir. "
