Of Another World | The Dragon Prince x Reader

Chapter Two: Assassins

I do not own The Dragon Prince. This just a fanfiction with the reader in it because I know there are people like me who wishes they were in the show.

After many days of being held hostage, the day of your hopefully rescue arrived. The day where the elves assassins were coming for the King and Prince Ezran. However, since you were quite literally in a dark cell, you didn't know that. Unaware that freedom was at the tip of your fingers, you let your eyes close in hope to get a little rest, but just when you were about to succumb to sleep — you heard a loud noise.

You immediately recognized the sound of the staircase, echoing in the dungeon. Its rusty sound was enough to shock the tiredness out of you and you immediately smiled with excitement. And that's when you realized that you had to convince the two princes to free you and the smile disappeared from your face.

Hurried footsteps followed by the staircase closing. Familiar voices reached your ears.

"Yes!"

"You're sure she won't be able to follow us?"

"No way. It took me over a month to figure out that combination."

Ezran and Callum! They were finally here! You swallowed down your fear and called out for help, "Hello?! Is someone there? Help me!" You exclaimed.

"What was that? Did you hear something Callum?" You heard Ezran say.

"Yes, I definitely heard someone. This way!" You heard Callum respond and footsteps heading to your direction.

"In here! Please help me!" You yelled again. Someone tried to open the cell door but to no avail. "Locked. Ez, help me find the key!" Okay, now you had to think of something to make them trust you.

After a few seconds of rustling, you heard Ezran say that he found the key. You heard the door being unlocked, and it opened with a loud creak. You had to squint your eyes due to the bright light invading the cell you were held in.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Ezran asked you.

You couldn't explain the real reason, they would surely think you were crazy. 'Oh hey, I was kidnapped and brought to this world through a portal, which, by the way, is fictional where I come from! Nice to meet you.' You were definitely not saying that.

"I'm Y/N, and I don't know why I'm here. Just please help me." You cried. They were obviously suspicious of you, you were a prisoner after all and you had to have done something to get there, right?

After a little discussion about your situation, they decided to help you get out of the chains but still keep a close eye on you. Your arms dropped to the ground, finally released from the chains.

While all the blood was going back down your arms, the staircase opened. Weird, didn't it open right after Ezran said it took him a month to figure out the combination? Well whatever, you were grateful they had enough time to help you before all hell broke loose.

You approached the main room and there she was. Rayla, the Rayla, standing right at the bottom of the stairs. She was so much prettier than through the screen! But you had to calm down your inner fan.

However.. you couldn't control yourself fast enough and let out a small "Pretty..." under your breath, and by her reaction, it seemed like she heard you. She seemed a little taken aback but you saw a faint smile gaze upon her lips, before she faced the princes.

"But, how did you-" Ezran started— but Rayla cut him off, "I just pressed all the stones with the jelly handprints." She said like it was evident.

Ezran slapped his hand on his forehead, leaving a jelly handprint. Rayla started walking slowly towards the three of you while you stepped back. She looked around the room in curiosity before her face changed to one of judgement and disgust.
