The Dragon princess

The Past

"I understand where you are coming from on that. No one should be a slave to a friend. Specially if the friend mean a lot to them. I promise I will protect you from the kings men. I know the king punishments are harsh and no one really deserves that. Let me seal up the cave and we can go to a more comfortable place to talk." The man said. The young woman was thankful to the man for protecting her but could she really stay here?

The young woman watched as the man sealed the cave entrance. Before turning back to her. "You can leave anytime you want. No harm will come to you while you are here. Let's go to a better location to talk. You look tired and need to rest." The man said. The young woman didn't say anything but let the man lead her to another location. The young woman was amazed at the room before her. "Do you live here? Why would you have this room for?" The young woman asked.

"You can say that but this really is a library. You can see all the books that I have in here. I like to come here to get away from things and I can shift into a dragon without anyone seeing me." The man said. The young woman has never seen so many books. She could read for days and would love every moment of it. The man watched the young woman look at all the books in amazement. "Do you like to read?" The man asked.

"My friend was teaching me how to read. I have been in the king service since I was young. My parents passed and I had no where to go. One of the companions seen me and took me to the castle. I've been working there forever and the King doesn't feel companion should be able to read or write. When I meet my best friend in the market one day, it was an instant friendship. She realized one day I couldn't read or write. So, she decided to teach me. She would bring me different books to read each time she came to see me." The young women said.

"Things must of changed when the prince took notice of your friend?" The man asked. "Yes it did, she wasn't coming to the market anymore and we no longer were hanging out. I've seen her a few times in the castle and she acted like I was a nobody. So, I just started avoiding areas that she was at. I don't want any trouble." The young woman said. The man could understand where the woman was coming from on that matter. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your parents?" The man asked. The young woman thought before she answered. "I can't remember a lot of what happened, we were traveling to somewhere and are guards turned on us. My mom told me to run and hide. I watched are guards kill both parents and one said this was from the King. I had no clue what they were talking about and I stayed hidden until I was sure they were gone. I tried to remember how to get back home and that's when I ran into the king companion. She took me in and I went to work right away. I have never told anyone about my parents not even my friend. I just felt it was important to keep it to myself." The young woman said.

"Your family has guards to protect them? What is your name young lady?" The man asked. "I'm sorry, my name is Lita Snow." Lita said. Lita watched as the man looked for a book. "What are looking for? I tell you my name and you look for a book?" Lita pointed out. "Sorry, I want to show you something. Look this is your family, the Snow family was the royal family of north. The King was killed for his land and kingdom. The King of Aurora could not calm anything because the king and queen had a child that was the true ruler. The Queen survived and has been ruling until the princess returns. The kingdom knew of the princess and has defended the land from the king. People have been looking for her for years." The man said.

"My mom survived? How could I've left her? can you take me to her?" Lita asked. Before the man could say anything two men walked in with the Queen. "Oh thank the lord, my daughter has returned to me." The Queen said. "Mom, I'm so sorry I thought you died that day." Lita said hugging her mom. "How did you find her?" The Queen asked. "Your daughter found me. She was hiding from the kings guards and came into the cave. She hide under my wing." The man said. "Either way the Princess is back where she belongs and we should have a celebration for her return." The Queen said.

The General felt like this was going to take forever to get to the cave. The General made sure he was dressed like a normal person and had to travel by foot. He hoped to use his gift to get back home fast. The General thought back to the day his brother asked him to take care of his new born. "Marcus, I need to ask you and Summer to take care of Lita and mine new born baby. I know it's a lot to ask of you but I need you to do this." Travis said.

Marcus knew this was hard for his brother and wife. "You know I would do anything to help the kingdom. I know the King is killing babies that have special gifts. He worried about what the Gypsy has told him and he wants to finding the book that she was talking about." Marcus said. "I need you to lead him to the book and than replace the book with this one. This has a fake prophecy and will make the king think he on the right track. My baby needs to be protected for all are sakes." Travis told his brother.

"Travis sorry to bring you out this way so soon. I have found out the Queen is expected to give birth to her baby on the ice moon. You do remember that prophecy states that your child will bond to the King and Queen youngest child that is born on the night of the ice moon." Marcus said. "I'm aware of what the prophecy said on that part. I know they can bring peace to the land. Do you think they would ever run into each other when they are older?" Travis asked. "Honestly there is a possibility that they could meet." Marcus said. "Well we will worry about that when it happens. My time is up and I need to get back. Thank you again my brother." Travis said with a sad look.

The general realize what was happening to Bayley. He thought about the night before events and it dawned on him on him that Princess Sasha and Bayley had meet at the training grounds. That's when Bayley attitude changed. Bayley must be feeling the pull to the princess. Marcus wasn't sure how to keep them together unless Bayley became Sasha companion. Marcus knew Bayley wasn't going to give into that idea at all. Marcus knew he needed to get to the cave sooner not later.

Marcus knew he was covered by the trees and could use his speed to get to the cave. The outfit he wore made him blend into the forest and that will help keep him covered. After another hour of running the general made it to the cave. He looked around to make sure no one was near by before he touched the wall. The wall opened up to the cave and the general entered. He closed it right way making sure no one could follow him inside.
