She cries when the prince takes her from the ruined castle, from the dragon who faithfully watched over her, kicks and screams and sobs for her beast, repeating her desperate plea to return to the place she has called home for more years than she can count ; 'I didn't need to be saved'.
Court life stifles her, makes her want to scream until she has no energy left to fight, she flees to the gardens, running barefoot through fountains and flowerbeds, returning only when the guards come to seek her out, silk dresses torn, and covered in mud.
Her dreams are of flying, of flames and smoke, and she longs for the nights when she could fall asleep with warm scales as her pillow, knowing nothing would dare to harm her while her dragon stands guard, but that world seems to belong to another girl now.
Then a new knight appears in the court she so loathes, swearing his allegiance not to the prince, or to the person she can hardly think of as her father, but to her, and when his eyes meet hers she laughs for the first time since the prince brought her 'home', the fire in his gaze as familiar as her own.
She'd recognise her dragon anywhere.
this is a my first fairy tail fanfic and my second fanfic altogether, so I'm no expert.
INSPIRED BY A COMIC. THE ABOVE BLURB IS FROM THAT SAME COMIC, I AM UNAWARE WHO MADE IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO. THE FRONT COVER ISNT MINE EITHER.
