"Do you have any family we can take you to?" Aryia asked the nymphs. "A forest around a mile away to the east." One of them responded. "You will be there shortly." she said as they flew off. Soon, they had dropped the nymphs off and were on their way again.
"Where do you want to go, Airama?" Aryia asked. "As far away from my father a possible. He is evil." Airama responded. "He is not evil, Airama, he is just hurting from his bad past." "What do you mean? He is the king. He can't have had a bad past." "He wasn't part of a royal family. He was abused as a child. However, he was rescued by a family with a pure heart and taken to live with them in a different town." "Why is he always so evil then?"
"After a few years in that town, a new mayor was elected. That mayor had an extreme hatred of mythological creatures. He made a law that all mythological creatures within a 15 mile radius around the village be hunted down and exterminated. A silver dragoness mother was one was one of the unlucky ones to be in the 15 mile radius.
"One day when she was out hunting for food for her young, mercenaries hired by the mayor came to her den and slaughtered all of her young. When she returned, and saw her five hatchlings dead on the floor, she was heartbroken. She was angry. She wanted revenge.
"On a moonless night, she flew into the village and destroyed it. Your father was the only survivor." finished Aryia. "She went that far?" Airama asked. "Yes. Yes I did." Aryia said sadly.
"Did you just say I?" Asked Airama. "Yes I did." responded Aryia. "Why? Why did you do destroy all of them?" "I was angry, sad, distraught, depressed, and blinded by rage. The mayor of that village had already hunted down my friends and my mate. My hatchlings and I were the only ones left. But then, some mercenaries came and slaughtered all of them. ALL FIVE OF THEM!!! They didn't even spare one of them. They killed all of them. They weren't even one year old. They didn't even know how to fly.
"My grief caused me to be unaware and because of that I was captured by Znzriz and I had no will to fight back until I met you." Said Aryia . "Now we need to prepare to to fight. It's only a matter of time until your father finds us." "I cannot fight them, I'm not brave. I'm not strong. I'm weak." Said Airama "Well, we can fix that. Prepare to be trained for battle." Aryia said with a smile.
