My name belongs to me only

Before the Meeting

Four hours before the meeting started, walking in the sandy desert, bare feet on the hot scorching sand burning her tiny feet. The sun radiating on her tiny feeble body, her messy green hair, light beige skin being burned by the sun's harmful blinding rays, wrists and ankles bruised by the constant movement of her chains, getting regular hits on her back from her captivators when slowing down in pace.

"Little girl, hurry up, will ya? We don't have all the time in the world to walk so slowly, we aren't your darn parents after all."

The tall pale man dressed in all black, his face was covered in all black, while holding an uneven torn-up rope in his dominant hand as he drank water from his cattle-skinned flask.

"Um sir, can I please have some water?"

She asked with a low and tired voice. The traders were quite interested by how bold she was.

"Here is the water, little one."

He said in a mocking voice as he casually let the water fall on the golden sand as it immediately evaporated from the surface.

"Oops, I dropped it,. What a shame it was the last one on me."

He said in a nonchalant voice while shrugging his hands, as he subtly kicked her, making her fall to the ground as she yelped in pain, after the sand made contact with her skin, almost burning her. His voice and expression turned dark immediately as he approached her with a look on his face as he tormented her,

"You have to wait for three hours to get water, because that is how long it will take if you continue to slow down, but", emphasizing on the but, "if you start walking just a bit faster we will make it in the next 30 minutes, what do you think?"

Adding the remaining sentence as he tightened his hands around the rope, forcefully dragging her back on her feet, ignoring the pain felt over her entire body all at once.

"King stop ruining the merchandise. It's a rare breed between a dragon and a demon. You had better treat her with a little respect so that we can get rich in one go. That little girl is our way to a rich town. Kid, don't even think about escaping. The only family you have left is your brother, and he was the one who killed your parents and sold you off just for money on drugs, some family you have if you ask me."

The female who was holding the keys of her chains in her right hands, she had light brown hair and even lighter brown eyes, which revealed no emotions in them, as she merely sighed as the three moved forward.

Interbreed species were common. After the first great Tesar, a war against all 8 species in Glathon. The Glathony, the Umends, the Suthends, the Foumets, the Luwns, the Adalus, the Maluwes and the Pedes. These eight species clashed for dominance and supremacy over all, in which the Glathony, the Umends, the Foumets and the Suthends made an alliance in the first war and came out successful, leading to the decreasing population of the Luwns, the dragon race.

Which kept decreasing until they were thought to be extinct. That was until a couple of traders found fossils of Luwns buried around the underdeveloped parts of the Kingdom of Glath and Eclair, which meant they were secretly hiding, unknown to others. Some stopped searching due to no longer being interested, while others continued as their greed was raised to new heights. Until the tenth of September, in the year of G247, on the celebration of the First Prince of Glath, who was celebrating his sixth birthday with the kingdom. However, success was used as a distraction and way of finding the last of the Luwns in which they succeeded.

When finding a male with tough green skin and scaly tail, and black vertical slits like his pupils, who was holding a woman with raven hair and ruby eyes and pointy soft ears, from her head and two short horns at the end of her temples, while their son stood in front of them, took most of his mother's characteristics unlike their youngest child who took both characteristics from her parents who was sitting on her father's shoulders, she didn't have horns like her brother and mother, but she had their ears but was scaly instead of being soft like her mother's, she got her father's pupils but her mother's red eyes, she had a soft and silky black tail.

Her existence was discovered by the traders, who made her known to the black market and ended up having a bounty on her head, which resulted in her parents restraining her from going outside.

After that day, her brother started to act more suspicious after going out for food supplies. She could barely leave home without wearing a disguise. That was until the 2nd of October, which was her brother's birthday. When he asked for a wish, he said money, using the very same knife to stab their poor father in his heart, killing him instantly as their mother was shocked as she struggled, until she passed away.

"Don't worry Lucia, I need you alive to fulfill my wish."

He said as he dropped his mother's lifeless body on the floor next to their father while closing their eyes.

"You're n-not my brother, Riel couldn't do su-such a th-thing."

She said, trying to convince herself, as she backed away, trying to run away, refusing to believe her parents were killed and by her brother too. She couldn't accept it, as she tried to run, she fell down at the door, and she was knocked out by the two strangers at the door.

"I have given you the child. Now give me my reward, king."

Her brother said with a bored tone and serious look on his face, as the King threw the bag of coins to Riel. As he caught it, a dagger was thrown straight at him, leading him to bleed to death, as King took back the money.

"Looks like my job is done, look at these bodies just to make one person disgusting and a waste of time."

King held his nose from the bloody stench in the room, as he reached out into his pockets, bringing out chains which he attached to the sleeping captive on the floor as he threw her around his shoulders.

"Boss, I have secured the goods."

"Excellent King."

The lady in her black suit said as she smoked along the journey.
