chapter one: “one is a warning. two is enough. three is too much.”

     ‘HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?’

THE DRAGON asked herself, tapping her snout with her long-nailed fingers as she tried to count her life span that had passed. Thoughts ran through her head as she tried to remember the time she still had contact with mortals and immortals in her naive, younger days. It felt like a dream has been wasted in a nick of time...

     "Your Majesty, I brought flowers!" A child with silvery hair with a pair of aurora eyes exclaimed, running towards the humongous dragon. Mortals, fear dragons because they're the monsters ruling over their kind, "It's called Lily! Or that's what Lilia told me!" He grinned, not even afraid of the sight.

     "I also got one for you, Wakai-sama!" A lime-haired child with a pair of yellow-green eyes exclaimed, running towards the dragon. "It's a bouquet of daffodils!"

The dragon merely smiled and that made the children sigh in relief since it was a sign she loved their gifts for the Queen. The village of the land of Thorns was quiet and peaceful unlike the rule of the past Queen, her grandmother, which was filled with mourning for a dead loved one, and bloodshed filled the atmosphere. She died during the Khaenri'ah War destruction and they thought she was killed by a warrior in Khaenri'ah...

     '... How long has it passed?' The current Queen asked herself once more before reminiscing what happened during her youthful days. 

The memory of her last lover, the original Electro Archon's twin, was still somewhat clear in her mind. She flew to Inazuma using her dragon form and it was no doubt she was weakened by the long trip as she took refuge on an isolated shore in Ritou. Not until she was found by the twin leaders of the Land of Eternity, the other twin was gonna cut her open but her sister stopped her...

     "She means no harm, Ei. I think she's injured," her sister told her before engaging the sleeping dragon. "She's bruised, Ei! Hand me some cloth!" She demanded, seeing an open wound dripping with blood on the dragon's neck.

     "Here... What a large wound," her twin handed her a piece of cloth. "What happened to this dragon?"

     "I'm not sure."

Makoto nursed her back to health, but once she woke up, she almost got killed by Ei due to her overprotective attitude to her sister. However, her polearm almost fell when (Name)'s snout when towards the cautious purple-headed and gave her a kiss-like motion. The Electro Archon (Makoto) laughed at her sister's flustered facade, amused by it...

     "Where did you come from, by the way?" Makoto questioned the newly-awoken dragon, curious about what name she goes by. That's when the Princess returned to her normal form, surprising the twins, "You're so tall! I thought you're a male, guess I was wrong."
