The Lion And The Dragon

The Truth

Lucifer moved his gaze away from Akira.  His guts began to flip inside of him. 
"Lucifer,  a-am I a-a dragon? Am I?" Akira's voice filled with knowing and anger.  Lucifer stayed silent for a moment as he finally cleared his throat and began to talk calmly, "you're, you're not a dragon,  Akira!!" he sighed.
Akira took a step back, "but how, I am daughter of Takamarii Wingstone the Caring,  I am of the Wingstone family. I can't be a lion.  This I where I belong, in the floating city of dragons.  I am one with the sky.  We despise lions. I am your granddaughter..." her voice ceased into a whimper.
Takamarii spoke up, "Akira we want you to meet someone before we tell you anymore."
Akira wondered how she could be so calm when everything was caving in.  Akira then followed Takamarii towards the court of dragons,  where a young dragon boy waited impatiently. The boy looked about Akira's age or maybe older,  he wore royal clothing coloured with red and blue. His black and gold wings shined in the light coming from the open door, blinding Akira's eyes with such beauty.  Gold was hanging from his horns and placed along his hands. His scales where a mix of gold, red and black just like Akira's fur.  His eyes were also the same colour as Akira's; a soft blue-green. Akira looked him up and down,  admiring his perfected flaws.
Takamarii called Akira forth and she stood before the dragon plated with gold. "Akira, this is Therru, he is a destine God cub of the dragons." Akira's eyes widened, "he was destined to marry the God cub of the lions,  but unfortunately she went missing sixteen years ago!"
Akira's eyebrow rose"but wasn't I born sixteen years ago? Anyways what's this guy got to do with me anyway?"

Lucifer stepped into the room.  As time went by the air was silence until Lucifer spoke, "Akira, do u remember the story I told you during lesson?" Akira seemed confused but she nodded in agreement. "The story of the lion cub who was taken by rouge dragons sixteen years ago,  where she was taken away from her crib while she dreamed.  That cub was brought here to the court of dragons. "
Akira's eyes widen.  "That very cub came into mine and Takamarii's care.  I took that cub away from the world it shall never know.  I could not risk the verge of another war.  So I kept the cub, and Takamarii raised it as her own.  That cub was you Akira!"
Akira took a step back,  just to let all of this in.  She had so many questions running about her head.  She found it hard to contain her anger. 
"So you're not my true family? This isn't where I belong? " Akira strides to the door with heavy steps.  Takamarii step towards her to stop beeping from leaving,  but Lucifer grabbed her hand forcing her not to go forth.
"Let the child be Takamarii,  she needs time to adjust to truth." Lucifer had pride in his knowing words.
Takamarii couldn't do anything but stand there and gasp.
"How could you do such a thing to her like that?  Why did you have to take her life away from her?  You ruined her life by keeping her here,  you taught her the wrong ways of her kind.  You taught her to hate even more than what she was born to.  How could you do that to Akira?" Therru was shaking in frustration,  adrenaline ran through his blood.  He clenched his fists and quietly walked out of the room.
