The Dragon Prince

Finding Merlin

Vincent

My group and I had been flying throughout the night, and we were finally on the edge of the Brazilian Rainforest. I can't stop thinking about her and how I will make those bastards pay for taking her from me. We found a safe and secure spot to land. On the way, we all agreed that it would be best to plan our approach before we went any further and tried to devise a plan.

"We need to find a place to crash and lay low," Jacob said.

"We will rest for a few minutes, then we continue," I huffed.

"Vincent, we've been flying for over twelve hours, we need to rest. We want to find Alyssa as much as you do, but we need to rest," Jacob shook his head. "Don't forget that we some food and water as well. Right now, we are way too tired to fight or do anything else, and we are of no use to Alyssa like that. I will go ahead and see if I can find a place for us to lay down,"

"I'll go with you," Bao said, and he followed Jacob.

"He's right, you know," Annabeth smirked. "We need to keep our strength up,"

"Didn't think you'd want to wait to get your hands around Gabrials neck," I sassed her.

"Trust me, I want nothing more than to watch the life leave his eyes. But I am tired, and we could all use some sleep," Annabeth yawned.

"Guess your right. Let's get all the rest that we can for now," I nodded.

"Guys, we found an excellent spot to rest," Jacob said in the distance.

"Go and rest Vincent; I'll take the first watch. I managed to get some sleep while we were in the air. I might even be able to use my magic to scan the forest. It might at least give us an idea on where to start," Annabeth smiled.

"Good idea, and set up some wards to cover our resting area so we are not found while you are scouting the area," I said, and Annabeth nodded at this order.

Alyssa

Light started sneaking through the hole in the ceiling. I could finally see something besides the darkness. My body was stiff from sleeping on the hard stone floor, and my neck was already sore from the chain. I shivered in the cold, cursing them for taking my jacket. I sat against the wall, unable to try anything else. I tried other ways to get out of here yesterday, such as pulling the chain on the floor, but it was bolted down with no chance of being pulled up.

The hole in the ceiling was too small for me to crawl through, and even if I could, I'd still have to find a way to break the chain and get up there. The metal door at the other end of the cell was far enough that my chain stopped me from reaching it, making it impossible to examine if I could break out. So right now, I'm lying against the wall, feeling helpless with all my options sacked.

I soon heard my cell door open and weakly looked over to see who entered. It's Timothy. "How'd you sleep?" Tim smiled. "I'm sorry that I knocked you out. You weren't exactly going to come quiet with me,"

"You son of a bitch! You killed Henry!" I growled as I forced myself to stand.

"Yeah, Henry was a good man. Very unfortunate," Timothy shrugged. "But it's his fault for being at the wrong place and time. I'm only sorry that I didn't shoot your fucking mate. I would have loved to put a few rounds in Vincent,"

"You bastard, I hope your father suffers when he succumbs to Dragon Communion!" I then jumped at him, forgetting about the chain around my neck. The chain painfully pulled me back before my fist connected with his face. I gasped for breath, and Timothy looked at me with a snide grin.

"Careful love, you might hurt yourself," Timothy laughed.

"I'll kill you if you ever touch Vincent!" I roared. "Hell, I don't need a reason. If I get the chance, I'll kill you!"
