The Goddess of Dragons and Merlin

Legends Long Forgotten

Layla starts her long arduous journey towards the three baby dragons. Fast and hard trying to gain as much land as possible. It's been a long time since she had a good long flight like this. She's been sleeping for 'oh' so long.

In two days time, Leila reaches the abandoned castle grounds where she can feel the magic of the baby dragons nestling inside. She can feel the magical Ward surrounding the building. They're not the strongest of magic she's ever seen. But it is quite powerful for a human, such a creature, so small having so much power and using it for evil. It's sickening her to her core and making her want to save the baby dragons even quicker. But alas, she had her limitations that she could not overcome. Even though she was so great she had a price to pay.

There is a legend, long forgotten about her. It holds some truths. The legend says how she was not supposed to create Dragons. She was not supposed to create Dragon Lords. Yet she defied her fate and changed the fate of the world by doing so. Her punishment was that she was banned from ever killing her kin, the death of her can equal the death of herself. Yet she could not die for it was her curse of immortality. The worst curse imaginable. For she was now over 60 Millennium old. She had been alive since about the creation of the earth self and she could never die. For she broke her destiny and created a new one, a harsh unimaginably painful one. For she would have to live until the Earth was no more. But she accepted her fate, for she brought life and that was her greatest accomplishment and she does not regret it. Her one regret is the utter loneliness it brings her. But she carries on in spite of it.

She lands far off into the forest a good mile from the tower. She drops her dress that she was carrying in one of her claws. She then slowly transforms herself back into a human. she looks to be about a twenty-year-old girl who looks more like a child since she's so short. yet her eyes no matter what form she takes is a deep pale red that stands out against her paler skin. She slowly slips the dress back on for very short and only comes up to her knees. It's not address what one would call elegant or in the times. But it's the only dress she owned and it was quite her favorite one. For no matter what happened to her it never got damaged so she keeps it with her. She doesn't have much of belongings on her. Because she's old and she's been around for so long that many things deteriorate over time. Yet she has a few odd items that she stores around the world, for they are magical and enchanted in ways men could never understand. She will go collect them at some point since she is now awake again but that is a story for another time.

She slowly exits the forest heading toward the tall ruinous fortress. it might have once been a glorious castle with, bustling streets and hundreds of humans. Yet now it's just a wasteland, deserted and aged with time. However, you can feel the dark magic and evil from the person who enchanted its grounds. He silenced the sound from within, so you couldn't hear the cries of the baby dragons inside. But with I being so close to my kin I can hear them loud and clear in my head. I walk as close as I can get without alerting the wards. I can easily slip past them but something will set them off either my magic or my human self. There would be no point in going in as a dragon for being inconspicuous is almost impossible that way. I am going for stealth since I cannot kill 'him'. I plan to just snatch the baby dragons and take them where he can no longer hurt them.

I wait until I see that the man has fallen asleep he sleeps in a magically enchanted chamber, where he has a fluffy gorgeous bed, with drapes of the most royal blue hanging from the walls it looks like a room fit for a king. Yet he lets his dragons stay covered in their own filth, in a dark wet environment. I push the ward with my own magic testing them to see if I could slip pass unnoticed I see it bothers the man he rolls around in his sleep but he does not wake. So I test my luck and push through, the man wakes up but he doesn't understand why he did. Though he soon figures it was just a nightmare and falls back asleep.

Once I'm inside he can no longer detect me. I head down to the baby dragons, they are in a dark room. They all startled at my presence. They don't know if I'm friendly, for all they've known is hate. I gently walk up the bravest of the bunch, it's a golden brown dragon he seems to look brave and strong trying to protect his brothers and sisters. He bares his teeth at me and growls almost like a dog. I appraise his strength and his bravery my eyes glow a golden red and he recognizes me as a family but he still fearful for his only other family has treated him like he was nothing. But I show my true intentions by offering him some food. He looks at it still not sure if he could trust me but soon his hunger wins over and he digs into the rabbit that I caught in the forest on my journey here. The others they look the food that he's eating in hunger yet they make no sound for they were once punished for it. I laugh and hand them the rest of the food that I brought.

They all look to be enjoying it I Smile as I watch them. I look over their bodies and I can see the bruises and cuts of a horrid hand that was dealt to them.

I gently raise my hands in the air and I asked in Dragon tongue, " Can I heal you ?" ,the dragons looked at me unsure of what I said for they can understand yet they do not understand the human tongue self and in turn, they cannot understand what I'm asking. So I gently place my hand on the brave ones head and a golden light forms. A golden shower falls from the fingertips of my hand and in case the beautiful dragon. It lets out a surprised chirp, and soon the glowing fades and the dragon he feels incredible. There are no wounds that bear the marks of what that man did to the child. He looks healed and full of life again. I moved to do it to the other two children. They accept my touches and the golden light showers them as well. Soon I'm sitting in front of three beautifully unharmed dragon children. They look at me lovingly as they would a mother I feel a warm heat spread through my soul something I haven't felt in many a' years. I smile back at them happy and they are happy that I help them.

I tried to teach them language as best as I could for as long as the night rained on. My magic help coax them along and they learned and understood Dragon tongue fully. I told them that I could not take them away from this man yet they looked at me sadly and wishing that it wasn't true but they understood my words clearly. I told them that it wasn't time but that they should never fear for I will always be next to them. Never insight but I will always be there. They nodded their heads and sat back in the corner where they coward originally. I blended back into the shadows of the room and disappeared without a sound. I never left too far, never out of the wards. But I didn't stay in for when that man came back. I could not take the dragons yet for I could not fight the man who has them I need to figure out a way to take them out of the wards.
