Travel The Distance

Chapter 6

It wasn't long until all 5 people emerged from the forest. King Dickhead was in the lead with his burnt ass son walking slightly behind him. The three Musketeers were right behind him, sharing looks of fear as they emerged and saw me. I stood proud in the centre of the clearing, the prince wrapped tightly in my tail and held 3 meters off of the ground. The King stood at the edge of the tree line and glared at me menacingly. I could see the distaste and resentment in his eyes as he looked at me. If I were a lesser man I may have flinched at the look he was giving me. But I was strong. I didn't back down. I simply glared back at him with more fire and hatred. Enji didn't take his eyes off of me as he addressed the three nervous-looking people behind him. "How did you not realise that there was a dragon near you? He's not exactly small is he?" he hissed angrily. Four-eyes was the one who answered the King. I admire the way he tried to keep the fear out of his voice, but he was unsuccessful, he sounded like he was going to shit himself out of fear. "The person who took the Prince wasn't a dragon. It was an average height blond male with tribal markings and a long red cape." Four-eyes declared. The other two nodded in agreement and opened their mouths to reinforce the Knight's words, but King Dickhead held up his hand for silence. "That doesn't matter now. We must slay the dragon to rescue the prince. It's as simple as that." Enji said, drawing his sword as if that was supposed to scare me. I snorted and rolled my eyes. I shook my tail slightly. In turn, shaking the prince. The threat was very obvious. Attack me, I kill the prince. The King lowered his sword slightly and looked to his crispy ass son. They both nodded slightly and turned back to me, I don't know what that nod meant but I knew I had to advance my plan.

I contemplated for a second before reverting back to my human form. Whilst it was certainly weaker than my dragon form, I had no doubt that I could deal with the shmucks in front of me if I needed to. "I wouldn't attack, dickheads. If you do we'll see just how blue royal blood is." I threatened the group of people in front of me as I held my sword to the Prince's neck. Enji's eyes went wide at the sight of me. His mouth began to move as he voiced silent words. When he finally managed to actually speak, his tone was angry. "You should be dead. All dragon men should be dead. I had you killed." Enji fumed, gripping his sword tighter. I smirked slightly and pressed my sword closer to Todoroki's neck. "Yeah, well I escaped. Here's what's going to happen. You're going to remove your guards from the entire north-west area of your Kingdom. You're going to do this within the next 24 hours, ok? What you're going to do then is completely forget about it being part of your kingdom. Once those guards are gone, it's mine. If you don't listen, I'm going to kill your son." I snapped, making blood bead on the prince's neck to show that I wasn't joking. I could see the battle raging in Enji's eyes. "What makes you think I'd give up my Kingdom just to save his life. He's not next in line for my throne." Enji smirked, thinking he had caught me. I laughed manically and watched as Prince Touya's eyes widened. "Yes, you're right. He's not next in line for the throne, but he is." I said, nodding my head towards Touya, whose entire body had been covered in inky darkness, the work of Tokoyami's dark magic. Crispy skin's body jerked forward and he landed at my feet. I put my foot on his back and smirked at the King. "I think it's in your best interest to listen to me, come back this time tomorrow with proof that you've abided by my demands or both of your sons will die very slow painful deaths." I hissed before a fog of darkness rolled through the forest and obscured me from the King's view. 

Back in the cave, both of the Prince's were bound by Fumikage's magic. His magic restricted their use of magic, so there was no way for them to escape. "That was so ruthless!" Denki cheered excitedly as he pranced around the cave, like a child. Kyoka was sat against the wall with Mina and Hanta. Fumikage was perched atop a stone ledge in the cave and Eijiro was sat by our prisoners. "Why couldn't we just take over the north-west with force. It would have been more fun." Sero whined like a child. Mina nodded along with him, a small and frankly adorable scowl on her face. "Yeah. I didn't get to do anything. It was all you and bird boy." Mina sighed dramatically. "This was the safest way without all of us dying you dipshits. Once we get to the north-west you can fight off all of the undercover agents which the bastard king will no doubt leave." I huffed, stirring the pot of broth in front of me. I looked up to see both princes looking at me with wide eyes. As if they didn't expect me to realise what a crafty little bitch their dad was. I rolled my eyes at them and went back to cooking.
