Wait! What?

Wait! What? His Story!

Unknown Pov

I didn’t get any answers or let alone even get to ask my questions, the stupid girl has been sleeping the past 2 days. I know I should be empathetic, she did fall hundreds of meters through the air. Where did she come from?

Caesar didn’t sense another dragon’s presence that day. What did she fall from?

I thought that by escaping to the Elven kingdom I would be able to vacation in peace. I don’t get much of that lately. As a knight of the order I am constantly travelling through the kingdoms to track rogues and fugitives. My commander allowed me to go on vacation for a week after taking down a malicious slave trader; I’ve wasted 2 days waiting for this girl to awake.

I need answers she could be a threat to Vita.

Movement to my right causes me to turn and lock eyes with my partner. ‘Jees Caesar what a mess! We are having such a ball on vacation, aren’t we?’

A deep scarlet tail wraps around my waist, flinging me up into the air. ‘We are doing what we must as Knights, lazy Devlin’, His deep baritone floats through my mind. Caesar the red, always loyal and constantly focused on work, my dragon, he hates it when I try to vacation.   

‘I know, I know but still it’s very inconsiderate of her’

‘She does not wish to wake, Devlin’

‘Well, I will make her want to wake’

‘How? And be careful she, may bring more trouble awake’

I will not admit defeat or admit that Caesar was right. I have tried everything to wake her up. Loud noises, ice cold water and even shaking her but nothing has worked, she hasn’t even moved or grunted her annoyance.

‘I did not become a knight by giving up, girl. I will not start now’ I look down at her lying on the healer’s bed. Even though she is physically healed for some reason she still will not wake.  

‘I started getting weird dreams when I was 16 about dragons and caves. I thought I was going crazy I didn’t want to talk to anyone about them. They were mine. I wasn’t going to share them with anyone.’ I don’t know what encouraged me to tell this rude girl my story, but I did.

‘I lived in a small village in the middle of nowhere on the boundary of Shifter Kingdom territory, called Urbem. My oldest cousin that travelled with an acting troupe recognised that something was different about me. My parents were too busy with my siblings to realise. But Jordan noticed and he spoke to me, encouraged me to tell my secrets. I told him of the dreams of caves and a Guardian of the eggs telling me to follow my instincts. I told him of walls filled with eggs of all colours and sizes. I told of my scarlet egg that shimmered and called to me.’ I look out of the window and down at Caesar nestled comfortably on the floor recalling how lonely and misunderstood I was until I saw him in my dreams.

‘Jordan told me that I was destined for great things and that I had to journey to the very centre of the Light Kingdom in order to find my dreams. At first I thought he was being stupid. How could I find my dreams? They were not real, merely dreams and my fantasies. However I hated farming and I had the perfect excuse to get away and finally leave Urbem.’

‘Travelling to the Light Kingdom was hard but I made it and I did find my dreams, literally. I found the Guardian of the eggs and I got my dragon. I had finally found peace and my best friend in my dragon, my Caesar.’

Warmth filled my mind and I knew then that Caesar was feeling the same. It was all true, without him I would be slowly be wasting away on a farm in Urbem.

‘You stole my dreams’

‘You did it Devlin; you made her want to wake. Now what are you going to do with a newly found rider’
