The Legend

:Chapter Six:

Song is "Milk and Cookies" By Melanie Martinez.

I FINALLY FOUND A GOOD PHOTO OF ENIEF!

And, this is Jnah, Hanj's dragon.

*-*-*

   I followed Hanj out to the front of the castle, where both Jnah and Eyief waited, glaring daggers at each other. "Where's my gelding?" I asked him, worry creeping up. "Oh, he's in the stables." He answered cooly, walking over to Jnah, his water dragon. I stood there for a moment before walking to Eyief and sliding between her shoulder blades comfortably. I absentmindedly stroked her scales. "It's going to take a good day for us to get there, so try and stay awake until then, okay?" My cousin told me, and I nodded, stroking my dragon's scales absentmindedly.

   Eyief and Jnah took off, Jnah's greater scale worrying me about being noticed by the Fells before we even got there. They're vampires, for Goddess's sake! Sol Deus could've made their eyesight, ya' know, less INHUMANLY. Not even elves have that good of eyesight! 

   My thoughts were interrupted by Hanj yelling at me. "Feiye! Feiye!" Once he saw that I was looking to him, he pointed downwards, where a patch of grass was almost completely covered with black dots. I furrowed my eyebrows. Jnah opened his mouth, exposing his lethal rows of teeth. Vapor started streaming out of it, clouding over the clearing, blocking out any sunlight, replacing any oxygen and rendering them all unconscious. Eyief swooped down after a few seconds, using her wings to fan away the vapor. She landed after Jnah, allowing Hanj and me to study the bodies. I walked towards them, my cousin walking beside me. 

   At the front, I saw the unconscious bodies of Aidan and Theodore. I flinched. Groups of vampire bodies were behind them. My eyes were wide as my body shook at how many there was. Why were they still here? I left, like, a day ago! Hanj looked over to me, obviously worried. I offered him a grin, even if I was trembling. "Let's go. I don't want the elves to be involved in this." He grabbed my forearm, tugging my frozen self along. I saw it. Theodore had a stab wound. I yanked out of Hanj's grip and ran to where Theodore's body lay. I cursed, studying the wound. I pressed two fingers against his pulse, catching a weak one I wouldn't be able to save him permanently. I cursed again and turned to Eyief. "Help, please." I said in a stern tone. "What are you doing, Feiye?!" Hanj barked. "Finding a better way to get into the Fells." I said, reaching my palm to my dragon, who used a claw to break the skin. I placed my hand over his mouth and squeezed my blood out so it dripped while Hanj forced him to swallow. Royal elf blood could heal any skin wound, but the two were weakly connected. After a few minutes, they die again. After that, I pressed against his wound, stopping any more blood from pouring out as the skin started knitting back together, the skin pink and irritated. His pulse quickened. I took my hands away and offered them to my dragon, who licked all of the blood off. I sat beside his body, my gown piled up around me. Hanj sat him down and moved to sit beside me.

   Theodore's eyes snapped open once Hanj moved. He scrambled up, eyes narrowed at us both."Did you do this?" He looked around at his comrades. "No. We just rendered them all unconscious." Hanj grumbled. I leaned forward so I could see Theodore's face better. "You okay?" I asked kindly. He nodded cautiously. "You had a stab wound. What happened, Theodore?" I asked again in a sweet tone. "Both Aidan and I decided that the war could be ended if one of the crown princes died, so, we fought. He stabbed me and won. End of story. How am I still alive?" He explained. "I gave you a drop of my blood. I didn't think you were the type to accept death so easily." I answered, eyebrows furrowed. "Because I knew my twin would be a better ruler--" I knew there wasn't long before he collapsed, dead again. "WHO?" Hanj barked. "Her." His eyes rolled back. I flinched as I felt something in me crumble. Hanj helped me up, but I was frozen again.

   I was the Crown Princess of The Fells and Diana's Peak. Even worse: I was half vampire.
