Her Dragon

Once long ago there was a young girl with bright brown eyes. She was a princess with a great adventure ahead of here but first, she had to make it there. As she grew older they noticed how unhappy their daughter was. The two thought nothing of it until a dragon came along. The king sent out his guards to kill the beast but they were all knocked out in one swing with its tail. That is where our story begins.

"Princess you mustn't go out there! If your hurt who will be next in charge once your mother and father die?" asked a pink-haired maid with chains around her wrists. As a young blonde hair, eighteen-year-old, girl got her armor on.

"Virgo! I have to help Erza and Gray! Without me, they can not fight plus I have Loke to help me" said the blonde tieing her sword to her belt.

"I still say you shouldn't go! You've done so much for this castle as it is!" protested the maid as the blonde tied her boots on her feet.

"I'll be fine! I'm this castles second-best swordswomen anyways!" answered the princess as she slipped her gate keys on her belt that she's never used.

"Don't worry Virgo! I won't let anything happened to our princess!" said a male with orange hair and sunglasses.

"Thank you, Loke! Now let's go!" said the princess leaving the armory.

The two walked to the corner of the courtyard where there stood a red-haired swordswoman dressed in armor, a black-haired man with armor and a sword in hand, and a red fire-breathing dragon with onyx eyes. The princess and Loke walked up to the black-haired man.

"How are things going Gray?" asked the princess as Loke took out his sword.

"Not good so far! All the dragon does is smack Erza with its tail and nock the soldiers over with its wings" answered the swordsman as a group of soldiers go flying past them.

"Stand down! I got this one!" yelled the princess ordering the soldiers and redhead to back off. They all nodded and backed up.

The young blonde princess walked up to the dragon with her arms out as the dragon watched her every step.

"Dragon of the sky and fire! I Princess Lucy Heartfilla beg of you to leave our castle in peace!" she asked the red dragon in front of her. The dragon lowered its head and folded in its wings. It sniffed Lucy and looked her dead in the eyes. Its eyes narrowed then relaxed. It pulled its head away before a bright red light took over its body. Once the light disappeared there stood a pink-haired man with red dragon features, in royal clothing bowing to the princess.

"My apologies Princess but I did not mean to hurt your kingdom. I am just running from my father, King of dragons!" he said politely. Princess Lucy nodded before walking up to the boy.

"You are forgiven but it is my mother and father that will see to if you are truly forgiven and if you may stay here," said Lucy as the boy nodded.

"Erza! Gray!" Lucy ordered.

"Yes mam!" said the redhead and Gray.

"Go and retrieve my parents!" she ordered as the two ran off to the get the King and Queen, "As for the rest of you, minus Loke and the dragon prince, go back to your stations!"

"Yes mam!" said the solder as everyone left leaving the three.

"Loke! You can put the sword away" said the princess as the man nodded putting his sword away.

"Um? Princess Lucy?" asked the dragon prince.

"Yes?" she asked turning back to him.

"May I ask why is a princess wearing armor?" he asked.
