The Dragon Of Affection [ Akatsuki No Yona Fanfiction • Yona of The Dawn ]

Chapter 3: 10 Years Into The Future

10 Years Later...

[ N A W U ]

I ran through the forest, sticks and stones poking through my flesh as branches and bushes scratched my skin.

Urgh! It hurts like a bitch!

I kept running barefoot into the deeper ends of the mountain. Holding a little girl of two years while fleeing from a bunch of bandits isn't your typical idea of 'exciting'! Is it? Good thing that she's sleeping.

Jadira Shiu is the only born daughter of the Shiu Clan, a family filled with skilled assassins. But recently, someone had located their hideout and reported it to the public. Everyone was killed mercilessly and brutally, all except Jadira.

She was to be the successor and alive. So the elders had hid her but she was found out. That was when I came into the picture. I was trading with one of the elders and all of a sudden, she had frantically asked me to help escape with her granddaughter. Of course, Dad and I had made an alliance with them and became friends. So I just guess I'm just really nice for doing this then and Jadira is a really cute girl!

Ughhh! Why the fuck did I leave my shoes over there...

"Hey! She's over there! Catch her," one of the men shouted.

Shit. I'm fucked.

I ran and ran until I saw a little ditch covered with huge leaves and branches. This better fucking work or we'll be dead.

I carefully climbed down and placed leaves over us. I watched as the armed men ran past us, cursing about me.

I waited for an hour before I finally came out of my hiding place. How far is  Kuuto from here? A week? A month? I'm not even sure.

As I kept walking, the forest was soon surrounded by a suspicious mist.

Fuck! Did they find us?

I had my guards up and was ready for any fight, but I have to be careful with a baby in my hand. All of a sudden, an arrow shot close to my face. Cutting my cheek, a string of red liquid dropped from my face.

I sighed to myself deeply and turned in the direction of where the arrow was shot. I mustered the deadliest glare I could managed and spoke in the darkest voice," Watch the fuck where you're shooting,please, Mister. "

"Be gone," A voice announced.

"Go away," one said with detest.

"Leave this ground at once!"

"If you step any further, you will receive divine punishment," They finally finished.

I bit my lip and groaned in irritation. I stomped as harsh as I could on the ground, and slowly, the mist had faded. It revealed many white to gray haired men with arrows drew back, ready to shoot. All stood on high, tall tree branches, having the advantage.

Well shit. Isn't this my lucky day?

Their voices stumbled a bit and they were quite surprised. But soon afterwards, the warriors had gain their senses again. I wet my lips as I announced in a loud voice, "I'm very sorry that I've intruded this private property. I really had no idea and I was extremely tired. Besides, I have a child with me, please. Please just let me go. I swear I won't do anything."

Begging for survival isn't something I'm proud to do it's the only choice I have now.

The one who spoke earlier, with the mustache and all, had rejected my begging.

Ah shit.

There goes my chance of running away.

"I cannot accept that. You are a possible candidate of stealing the young lord's power and giving it to the officials! We have no choice but to take you prisoner and eliminate you after the elder's orders."

A few men flew down from the trees and chained my hands and ankles together. They even took away Jadira.

They inspected the baby and to their surprise, they spoke up, "You dirty wench! To think you would steal a real, live child just to take the young lord's power! How evil!"

I flinched at their choice of harsh words.  I bit my lip and shouted in response, "I'd do no such thing! That's all a lie, Jadira is in no way an obstacle to obtain this young lord's power whatsoever! Please just return Jadira to me!"

The men looked at me with disgust and forcefully threw me into a cage. There, very single villager looked and gawked at me like I was some villainous creature. The odd thing was that, all of them had the same white and gray hair. They all wore white robes with blue borders as well.

What is this place?

What is happening even?

What have I gotten myself into this time?
