The Wolf and The Dragon (Book 2)

83 - Forever 'Red'

Many, many years ago...

-"Did you call for me, my Queen?" - The green Dragon drop to his knees in respect to his Queen.

-"Indeed, I did! I have a mission for you Dragon Warrior."

-"I am here for your command."

-"Mont is in danger, I have been informed that a squad of white face Oni Warriors, led by the Oni Princesses themselves, have fled to Ninjago, their mission is to kill Mont and all of his descendants and destroy the realm. I can't let that happen, you are to put a small team together, only 5 of you can cross at once. Choose your best warriors. You can not fail. Protect my son, his family and his realm at any cost."

-"I will make sure Montgomery and his realm are saved from the Oni."

-"Very well, remember, the white faces are different, they are immune to the gold armour, and they always fight in twins, break one you would break both. Nevertheless, do not underestimate the Oni Princesses, especially the one in Red, she is considered the best warrior they ever had, and her twin is equally dangerous."

-"I will not fail you, my Queen, do we know how many of them?."

-"No, we don't, be prepared to be outnumbered."

-"I will!"

-"Yomi!"

-"Yes, my Queen!"

-"Take the sword of Orion with you, and use it, if necessary, something tells me the Red Oni Princess is far more than we can fight, if she can't be turned into an ally, she must be destroyed."

-"I will take care of her myself, my Queen."

-"Very well! Yomi, please keep yourselves  in one piece, I can't deal with another lost"

He gives her a smile and bow to his Queen again before leaving to his assignment. He picked a dragon from each of the 4 original elements and departed to Montgomery's Realm, holding the sword of Orion.

The battle was fierce, they were outnumbered by far. Yomi told his warriors to cover for him, he needed to get closed to the Oni Princesses.

The two young women were the most beautiful Oni he has ever encountered. They move and fight in perfect synchrony, for a second or so, he allowed himself to appreciate their skills. One of them wear black and red and the other one white and red, both had Oni Mask on. Who is she? He asked himself.

But as soon as the tallest one made eye contact, all his questions were answered, Recognition! - She removed her mask and marched impetuously on his direction, completely ignoring her sister's awarning about the sword.

Somehow, he feared her strength, but it didn't matter, he smiled as she approached him, he would only need to touch her skin once, she will remember him and who she is.

She attacked him with all her power, but what she didn't know was that he was immune to her power, and as soon as she was close enough, he touched her face, and red marks appeared under his touch, she completely froze to that and her eyes locked into his, Recognition.

-"Hello Red!"...

-Present time-

The sunlight between the curtains hit straight on my eyes, I woke up completely disoriented. My head was aching, and my body hurts, especially around my abdominal area. 'What's happening? Where am I?'

I looked around, taking in my surroundings, realising I was home, however, I was alone in bed, our bed, her place was empty, there was blood in the bed, and memories from the early morning came back to me. What have I done? Where is she?
