Purple Dragon (Yona of the Dawn)

Down Time

Alya's P.O.V

I'm going to strangle someone, anyone. I really don't care who I just need to strangle one of those guys. Probably Gija, he never shuts up. Maybe if I crush his vocal cords he'll be silent for a while.

"Look a town!" Yun shouted cutting off my thought process. 

"Your fingers are smoking." Shin-ah whispered in my ear and I looked down to see he was right. Light smoke was curling off my fingers. I took a deep breath and it fades in the breeze. When I was very young getting even slightly angry and smoke would start, if I didn't calm down fire came soon after. It's been a long time since that's happened, it must have something to do with drinking the dragons blood. The purple dragon said our powers would increase, relearning control will be a pain.

The town we reached was small and isolated, Yun and Yona decided they wanted to stay at a hot springs. We all debated the idea for a while

So we found a nearby hot spring that didn't have a lot of customers. Yona wanted to get into the bath immediately and I didn't argue because it gave me a chance to get away from the boys. As amazing as they are in a fight being surrounded by six guys constantly can get a bit exhausting. 

Sinking into the hot water was like heaven. I hadn't realized how tense I had been until all my muscles relaxed at once. I could hear my bones popping as I stretched.

"Don't tell me you aren't glad we came." Yona sighed sinking down into the water.

"I admit we definitely needed this." I smile at her. I had pieced together the basic story of what happened to make her go searching for the dragon warriors but she had never actually gave me the full account. What I did know is that I have to do everything in my power to make sure she stays safe. 

"I know you said we should gather allies, but seriously Alya, what's next?" 

"Yona... I think you need to be the one to answer that. We can offer you our best advice but ultimately this is your quest, your choice." I say softly. She turns quiet and we sit in silence. After a while I notice her face is turning red, I forgot she's not as heat resistant as I am.

"All right princess time to get out." I say and help her get out. Once dressed we go back to the room where the guys are all laying red faced on the floor.

"You don't even look like you went into the hot springs!" Yun shouted indigently.

"HOT springs Yun, HOT. THey would have to be about twenty times hotter than they are before they would bother me." He looks like he's about to argue with me and then just lost the motivation as he flops back down. I roll my eyes.

"Why don't you all cool down and I'll see to dinner." There was a mumble of half hearted agreements as I left the room. As I went to inquire about dinner I thought about our adventure so far. As much as those boys can annoy me they're my family, and family can suck sometimes. But it's nice to know there are people there that have my back.
