"Alright, so you are telling us that you are willing to pay so much because you want us to kidnap your daughter?" I asked concerned about the father who was currently stirring his cup of tea and nodding.

"I'm not paying for the kidnapers to be judgmental, just to kidnap my daughter. She alerted me that she wishes to join a guild, and I'd like to prove she is still too untrained for such a thing. Double the payment if she hurts any of you." He added, staring down at all three of us, dragons who he didn't know were dragons.

"Guys this is simple. We fly up to her window and drag her out. Fly her to a cave and hold her for the mandatory two days. Nothing to it." Darrel told us, flexing his wings proudly. He was an adult dragon meaning he had fully grown wings capable of carrying a normal human for miles without strain.

"I hate to agree with him, but he has a point." Adonia abruptly told me, glancing out of the tree line to the window of her room facing the grove of apple trees.

"Fine, but if she starts fighting I take over. Both of you got it?" I asked, growling slightly when they hesitated to answer.

"FINE!" Adonia called at the angry sound and Darrel shrugged half heartedly before unfurling his wings. We both followed his lead o her window, Adonia unlatching the window with her long claws. I crouched on the sill as they wrapped the thick comforter around her and Darrel pulled her out the window.

She struggled, screaming the second the blanket left her face and lashing out at anything she could reach. When Darrel nearly dropped her for the second time I jumped in and wrapped a arm around her and huffed in her face making her pass out from the side effects of being one of the royal bastard sons. (Hahahahah, breath so bad get it? ok back to the story.)

"You were right, Ignis." Adonia huffed as we all landed at the cave we had scoped out earlier and Darrel sat the girl in the corner to sleep off the spelled breath I used.

"Thanks, now how exactly are we going to keep her in here?" I huffed, trying to think of a good way to scare her into staying put, yet coming up with nothing more than a fire ward that any lowly mage could break if they didn't mind a few singed fingers.

"Dragonian, she's moving around." Adonia told us softly, making me turn to see she indeed was stirring.

"Echem Mitrof bromi, Darrel Hugo mijom." Scare her to stay put, Darrel has the largest form. I told them simply, making him nod thoughtfully and stepping outside the small space of the opening and stripping his clothes before the scales took over his entire body, horns emerged from his forehead and a tail grew from his spine just before sharp knobs of bone grew from his spine more deadly than knives or swords on his tail.

"AHHHH!" The girl screamed, firing pointless bolts of dull blue water energy trying to ward us off as she sat up and eyes focused on all three of us.

"Easy now, My friend over here is going to guard you. Stay here and we won't hurt you." I assured, deflecting one of the bolts with the scales over my arms hitting the wall and nocking some rubble down.

"Isss, sher kono miguhakna shimano!" Oi. if she tries that again she will bury us all! Adonia announced, hissing slightly as the girl went to throw another one at her but hit the ground beside her feet.

"Stop or I will tie you up, woman." I huffed, side stepping one of the bolts and it slid harmlessly out the front before dissipating entirely.

"What do you want with me? Please...... I just want to go home." She sniffled making me growl softly to myself for what we were doing to a harmless child no older than 15.

"I cannot give a reason, but we are to hold you here for a few days. We will return you unharmed if you calm and stop trying to drown us with water magic." I told her exasperated as she flinched back.
