The Dragon Prince

Vincent's Greatest Fear

Alyssa

I followed Vincent as we flew to what looked like a burning lighthouse. It looked to have complex markings on it.

"Vincent, what is that?" I asked.

"This is the Tower of Air; it's one of the four elemental towers that form a protective barrier around our Island. Each of the four towers is based on the original elements that make up the world. The Tower of Fire in the North, The Water Tower in the West, and the Earth Tower in the South," Vincent explained.

We flew in circles around the tower, examining it.

"What do you think happened here?" I asked him.

"I don't know, but this is not an accident," Vincent said with worry.

"So anyone can enter the Island without the tower active?!" I was shocked.

"Destroying one tower isn't enough to let many in, but those dragons weakened the barrier.

I saw many dark silhouettes in the distance, and Dahlia growled with rage. "They're coming!"

"Vincent, I can see dragons approaching us," I shouted.

Vincent looked back in the direction I was facing and saw four dragons closing in on us. I heard a loud boom as they passed the barrier. Oh crap!

"They're flying towards the north tower. Alyssa, fly back to the castle and get help, I'll handle these bastards," Vincent said.

"No, I'm not leaving you, you need my help, I can fight," I protested.

"I don't want you in a fight, and I will never forgive myself if anything happens to you. Two against four and dangerous," Vincent said.

"Because one against four is WAY better?" I said sarcastically. "You may have special abilities that might give you an edge in battle, but you're not invincible,"

"Why do you have to be stubborn?" Vincent asked.

"Comes with being a dragon baby," I winked as I followed him.

I took off after the dragons with Vincent right beside me. The Dragons were a few hundred meters ahead of us, and I don't think they noticed us yet.

"An Ice Dragon, Lightning Dragon, and two Fire Dragons," Vincent analyzed them. "Fuck!"

"What's the plan?" I asked.

"Simple, stop them before they destroy the Fire Tower," Vincent grinned. "Losing one tower won't cause many issues, but losing another will be problematic. Can't believe I let you come with me,"

"Well, it's too late now," I laughed.

Two of the dragons changed course and headed straight for us when the four dragons noticed us.

"The Ice and Lightning dragons, typical," Vincent scoffed. The dragon was closing in fast; Vincent roared as she clashed with Lightning Dragon. Vincent's spines glowed before his eyes as he fired a light beam from his mouth. The Lightning Dragon crashed to the ground. "ALYSSA, DIVE," Vincent yelled.

I saw the Ice Dragon fire ice at me and dived under the attack. I saw Vincent raise his paw, and a Glaive of pure light appeared in his hand. His attack hit the Ice Dragon in the chest. The hit caught him by surprise, and he couldn't do anything to defend himself. Along with the Lightning Dragon, he fell into the forest.

"Damn, and you thought he couldn't get any hotter," Dahlia moaned.

"That was only a fraction of what we can do, Dahlia," Astarot smiled.
