The Two Princes and their Guests

Chapter Thirteen

One year ago

Melanie was locked in her room and the next morning taken out forcefully by the guards. She kept silent not wanting to speak to anyone.

Mel are you okay?
Leave me alone Michael
Why
They might find out about you

With that Michael stopped and Melanie's head fell forward her arms kept up by the guards and her legs dragged behind her.

They reached the dining hall and the King and Queen were there waiting.

"Hello Melanie."
"Father."
"We think you need a good," the king stopped to look at his wife, "influence."

Melanie looked up and glared at her father, "Why?" She said slowly, questioning.
Her mother then spoke, "We think that if you were to go somewhere to make new friends you wouldn't want to be involved with witchcraft."
Melanie didn't say anything, she just started at her parents.
"You will leave today."
Melanie's eyes widened at that. This morning she was to be married and now shipped off.
"Goodbye Melanie."

The next thing she knew she was in a carriage going off to get a good influence.
Bye Michael
Bye Melanie

Melanie woke to someone poking her.
"What?" She asked her eyes closed.
"Hi new girl."
Melanie's eyes shot open and she found herself staring at a girl with white hair and purple eyes.
"Wow you look-"
The girl cut her off. "Weird I know."
"No I was going to say awesome."
The girl smiled. "What's your name?"
"Melanie but I prefer Mel, you?"
"Kara."

Melanie then looked around and realized she was on the ground.

"Why am I on the ground?"
Kara shrugged, "I wouldn't know I was walking outside of school when I saw you."

Melanie then saw the school. "Woah." It was magnificent. Five towers surrounding a giant palace bigger that her castle by a long shot. The entrance was a golden door that had spirals on it. There was a forest that started near the school but Melanie couldn't see where it ended.

"Amazing right?"
"Definitely."
"Come on."

Then they both walked in to the palace side by side.
________________________________
Over the year that Melanie had spend at school she became great friends with Kara. Melanie had told her about not liking any gender and she in turn had admitted to liking every gender. Turns out Kara could also read minds too and they communicated like that throughout the school year.

They went on adventures in their free time. Walking in the woods and riding the horses in the woods. They loved the woods.

So one day close to the end of the school year where they would be going back home in a fortnight they took a walk in the woods around midnight.

This time though they walked a little too far. Near the mountains. But they were older though, 17 at that, they could handle anything that came at them. Then a dragon attacked them.
________________________________
The dragon was beautiful. It was about 36 feet long and 18 feet high. It's scales shone brightly as the sun hit them. It's head was black near its snout and mouth. Grey near its eyes and the rest of its head. White for its neck. It's body and legs were dark purple. It's tail yellow. It's wings were black on the outside but orange on the inside.

The dragon stopped in front of Melanie. It looked at her with intelligent green eyes. She felt powerful.

Kara watched from far away. She was amazed at the connection between the two creatures. Melanie was definitely not mortal and had to be a goddess because no mortal would never be so close to a dragon willingly.

The dragon and Melanie seamed to agree on something. Then the dragon swiped it wings so that Melanie was out of Kara's view. All she saw was a glowing light coming from the other side of the wing but she was to scared to move.

The dragon spoke with Melanie with its mind, Hello mortal woman.

She had been shocked, You aren't going to attack us. Melanie heard the dragon's laugh fill her mind.

Ah young mortal that is not why not approached you.

I'm 17 years of age

I am to old to remember when I was born but a good estimate would be before your first ancestor was born.

Why did you approached me then.

To recruit you

For what

Everyone respects dragons but a dragon will not be respected by another dragon until they find a mortal to chose to become immortal for them.

What

Okay a dragon is respect by other dragons when it finds a mortal and turns them immortal. That now immortal person become their rider. But the mortal can't be with another mortal in a more than platonic way.
A dragon can only do it once in their lives so if they make a wrong choice they will have to pay dearly.

So let me get this straight you chose me to become a goddess and a dragon rider and all I have to do is not be with anyone.

Correct

Well then hell yeah i'll become an immortal dragon rider that sounds fun.

The dragon's laugh filled her head again and the dragon covered her from Kara's sight with its wing.

Ready
You know it

Melanie then was surrounded by white light.
________________________________
Kara was scared which wasn't a new thing for her. She couldn't see her friend. Then dragon then moved its wing.

There stood Melanie dressed in battle armor, sword in hand. A grin on her face. She looked...

What's the word.

Badass? Melanie thought towards her.

Kara grinned at Melanie.
Yeah that's the word.
