Empyreal Dragons

What's My Purpose...

In the eyes of the world that was made to create humans who are naturally supposed to be supreme leaders over others, Reyna Rose was born to a woman who purposely taught her how to kill people at the age of 2 years old. 

Reyna's mother was a powerful woman who understood the arts of poison and how to create an antidote for them. She was a woman who reigned supreme and applied constant fear onto men who she felt like wasn't worthy of a life, her name was Eva Rose.

Eva Rose wasn't an ordinary woman, no, she was a daughter to the Previous Queen and King of the Red Crest Kingdom. She was the true Princess to the Red Crest Throne. 

The previous Queen of the Red Crest Kingdom, Queen Mabiel, was a crazy woman as death and pain meant nothing to her. Not understanding what it is to be a wife, the previous Queen found entertainment in a passing traveler who caught her heart.

The Queen was a fool in love who didn't know any better. And because she didn't know any better, she didn't know that the man she fell in love with man was known for killing people as he was a serial killer. 

Stupid decisions allowed stupid actions, as the previous Queen Mabiel became pregnant by the traveling man. The traveling man loved Queen Mabiel... he loved her so much that he killed the previous King in cold blood just to have Mabiel to himself. 

Hence, when Eva was finally born, having two crazy ass parents made Eva Rose the perfect killer to come from the world's worst people who surprisingly loved their family more than anyone could know. They were known to rule over the Red Crest Kingdom for 18 years raising a daughter with love and ruling the Kingdom with hope. 

With Eva's knowledge and power that she held in her background, no one ever dared to challenge her. As the Princess of the Red Crest Kingdom, Eva's power was secured and set in stone as she didn't believe that anyone could compete with her strength, that was until... Queen Mabiel tried to kill her own daughter.

 Eva, didn't understand... why would her mother try to kill her. In the spilt second that she had to choose, she had to choose whether to die by her mother's hands, or to protect herself. Deciding to save her own life, Eva was forced to kill her mother and father as one could not live without the other. 

The Red Crest Massacre... 

After the death of the Queen and King, Eva Rose walked away from her title of being a Princess.  With the Commanders from the Red Crest Kingdom not knowing what to do, the Commanders fought each other to death in place of wanting to be the next King.

 Eva didn't care for the title of Queen because she only knew how to do one thing, and that was to kill. So just imagine how much of an amazing mother she was when she found out a few years later that she was going to give birth to a baby girl. 

Annoyed and wanting to get away from her daughter, Eva went back to the Red Crest Kingdom and made a deal as she sold her only child, her daughter to be the wife of the King's son while the daughter was only the age of 5. 

Gathering money and losing the biggest possible threat in her life, Eva got rid of the daughter. Leaving her daughter to be raised in the palace of the Red Crest Kingdom with the sole intent of being the future King's wife.

... 

Lovech Kingdom

"WAKE UP!"

Shooting her eyes open from a harsh voice yelling, Reyna sleepily tried to keep her eyes open after having them closed for so long throughout the night. With a hazy feeling feeling distorted and detached from the world, Reyna was forcing herself awake at the sound of the voice.

What time is it? What day is it?

Rolling her eyes as they stung from the deep sleep, Reyna realized that her body was curled up in a ball position under the heavy covers. Stretching out her body, Reyna didn't even realize how comfortable she was moving her around as her damaged body already healed itself.

With the new blood running through Reyna's veins, there was something different about her as her mind seemed much more refreshed than before but also, so confused.

It was an incomplete feeling.

Reyna's body didn't flinch in pain and nothing was actually hurting her, but the brain didn't noticed this progress as Reyna looked over at the door of the bedroom. At the door there stood the old woman who annoyed her soul yesterday, Ms. Syrah.

With her icy blue eyes staring daggers into Reyna's brown skin and her short brown hair spiking up in anger, one could only guess that she's been here the whole time trying to wake Reyna up. Ms. Syrah's chubby pale cheeks puffed out in anger as she rolled her eyes and forced a smile onto her face.

"Good morning Ms. Reyna. I was instructed by King Dragnior to teach you the basics of fighting starting today. Well, technically we were supposed to start last week, but now is fine too." She said with sarcasm in her voice

Lifting her body to sit up, Reyna scratched the back of her neck and yawned in Ms. Syrah's face. It was hard to believe that Reyna was woman who everyone considered a threat for 15 years.

Ms. Syrah was in disbelief at what she was looking at. A woman who was once a Queen isn't even doing proper etiquette! But the truth is, even as a Queen, Reyna had flaws that made her different from other Queens. She was the most realistic Queen 

"What do you mean by last week?" Reyna questioned after yawning

Ms. Syrah's eyebrow twitched at Reyna's question.

"You've been asleep for 2 weeks Ms. Reyna."

"2 WEEKS?!" Reyna gasped as she sat her body up on the bed

"That's is correct ma'am, and I see that your injuries are healed too ma'am." Ms. Syrah spoke while looking at Reyna's legs

Raising an eyebrow at her words, Reyna decided to also glance down at her little legs and to her utter surprise, that were actually healed up! Those bruising painful cracks marking her body was now completely gone. 

Shock bewildered Reyna as she started laughing from the shock of it being true. Moving her feet over to the floor and standing, Reyna's legs actually felt better than ever.

My body in general felt better than ever, but how did I heal these types of injuries? Did Zahn come back into my room within these couple of days?

"Ms. Syrah, did anyone come to my room within my 2 weeks of sleeping?"

"Not a soul. Sorry, ma'am. Everyone was too busy to think or to care about you. Now come along, breakfast has been made and you need to hurry up."

Reyna smirked as she looked at Syrah. Syrah wasn't stupid nor a fool, instead she was very capable of handling herself... but how far do those smart remarks last in this palace?

As Reyna kept her eyes on the small chubby cheeked woman, Ms. Syrah couldn't help but feel a sensation of coldness shiver throughout her body. Someone was watching her... 

With Reyna not paying attention to what was going on to Syrah, Reyna could feel her neck tensing up as she began to raise her arms and stretch out her body, until she started to smell the disturbance of her own body. Shhheeessshhhh!

"Oh god, is there a bath that I can use?" Reyna spoke after smelling on her own underarms with a scrunched up face 

"Servants do not take baths until AFTER the training ground exercises are done. King Dragnior will not allow us to bathe before hand."

Reyna made a weird face at that explanation, Reyna doubt that the King would stop shower activities for people that he rarely sees throughout the day, so Reyna knew that she was lying, but she was deciding to let it go. 

"Thank you."

Ms. Syrah stuck her nose up at Reyna and crossed her arm over her chest.

"Well at least you have manners." She replied before picking up her feet and walking away

Rolling her eyes at the annoying woman, Reyna began following Ms. Syrah throughout the hallways of the Lovech Kingdom as Reyna was met with the sights of marble dragons randomly placed everywhere. With the white and black marble designs covering all of the ceiling above her, Reyna was truly caught in a world of bliss. 

"Through here." Syrah spoke as she opened up the door for Reyna. 

Syrah didn't want to admit it, but there was definitely something about Reyna that made her different from every other woman that she's encountered. As Reyna stepped foot through the doors into the dining hall, it was an immediate smell that ran through Drangior and Zahn's noses that made them both turn in the direction of the doorway. 

The smell... of hope. 

As Dragnior and Zahn kept their eyes on the doorway, Reyna blinked a few times as she looked back at the father-son duo. 

How did they know that I was here, Reyna thought to herself as no one made the announcement that she has arrived into the room and her footsteps weren't loud enough to be heard

Zahn looked at Reyna with a huge smile appearing on his face. Reyna is awake!

"Hi!" Zahn yelled whispered as he flagged me down

Reyna winked towards the young boy, showing off her beauty to everyone in the Dining Room as almost everyone blushed at her seductive motion. Who knew that a simple blink from one eye could look so good?

"Come on now idiot." Ms. Syrah snapped at Reyna as she didn't want to be entranced by whatever Reyna just did 

With Syrah moving her heavy feet over towards a table that was different from the main table and further away from the main table, Reyna rose an eyebrow as Syrah raised her left hand a little bit to point at the smaller table. 

"From now on, this is where you eat. This table is for the servants of this house. And that table," Ms. Syrah paused to point where the King and Prince sat "Is for royalty only. I don't care how much Young Prince likes you, you sit here."

"N..."

"Huh?" Ms. Syrah glared at Reyna

"It's Zahn. The Young Price name is Zahn."

The room got quiet as the servants of the house looked in the direction of Reyna and Ms. Syrah. Raising her eyebrows, Ms. Syrah gave Reyna a smile as she could feel her nerves ticking badly. The learn how to control your anger is weaker than knowing patience to counterattack your anger, sadly Syrah had neither of these qualities. 

Within a swift quick motion that Reyna could see, Syrah moved her right had to grab Reyna's soft curly hair and slammed Reyna's face into the table that the servants where sitting at. Everyone in the room gasp as Zahn jumped out of his chair looking at Reyna. 

What the hell is Syrah doing, Zahn thought to himself as he could feel his eyes start to turn gold due to his emotions. 

Wincing at the pain, Reyna closed her eyes and frowned. The grip that she had on my hair was a pretty strong one. I'll give you that grandma.

"You are NEVER to speak back to me. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Ms. Syrah yelled at Reyna while tightening her grip on my hair and pushing my face further onto the table

"Bitch." Reyna replied while nodding her head 

"Good." She said satisfied as she let go of Reyna's hair

Sighing deeply as Reyna raised her head up, Reyna couldn't help but turn her body to look Ms. Syrah in her eyes and Syrah decided smiled beautifully in return.

"We start training right after you finish eating for today." Syrah spoke 

Listening to Syrah's words, Reyna could feel her stomach starting to cave in due to the lack of food that she ate. Thinking about breakfast made Reyna realize just how much she truly wanted food right now.

"Oh and also..." Ms. Syrah's continued

Snapping out of her daydream, Reyna turned her head to look over at Ms. Syrah, just to see disappointment by seeing Syrah's foot come into contact with her beautiful face.

Falling to the ground, Reyna could feel her eyes going crossed and her prefect 20/20 vision beginning double itself. The room around Reyna started to show stars as Reyna's body passed out on the ground below her. 

The servants of the room looked at Reyna with question as this was never how they remembered the former Red Crest Queen. 

With Zahn still standing on his feet in anger and his gold eyes showing that he was ready to kill Syrah where she stood, Dragnior pushed himself out of his chair instead and started to speak. 

"Are you serious you useless s**t?! I told you to bring her up here so that she could eat! Not so she could pass out again you USELESS i***t!" Dragnior yelled at he watched the scene unfold

Ms. Syrah rolled her eyes and walked over to the Young Prince.

I will never accept the name of Zahn, EVER! Especially when it came from an ungrateful human woman like her, Ms. Syrah thought as she turned her head back to glare at the unconscious woman on the floor.

Zahn looked at Ms. Syrah with his gold eyes perking with flaming intensity as he glared at her.

"My mother named me Zahn after the son that she couldn't give birth to! YOU WILL SHOW HER RESPECT!" Zahn yelled at Ms. Syrah as she flinch from his demand

Zahn's gold eyes were destroying Ms. Syrah's soul as his dragon's blood wanted to kill her on the spot for disrespecting his mother right in front of him. Not only did she put her hands on Reyna, but she also disrespected his dead little brother?! 

Ms. Syrah's eyes moved over to Dragnior and she could see the surprise in his face as well. Young Prince was using his dragon demand for his first time in life, but he was using his demand to protect a weak little b***h?!

Anger fueled Ms. Syrah.

This little b***h is going to have to pay when I whoop her ass later in the training grounds, Ms. Syrah thought as she smirked with evil intent.

Dragnior looked at Ms. Syrah evil smirk and already knew where this was going.

Dragnior didn't care about the emotions that were running rapid around his palace among everyone, the only thing that he cared about was Ms. Syrah not killing his vessel before he could even see what made him want to save her from death.

Training Grounds

"Come on now, I know you can hit harder than that now!"

WHACK!

Falling on her butt for the billionth time since she came to the training grounds, Reyna realized how horrible Ms. Syrah actually was. Reyna knew that Syrah didn't like her, but for her to truly want to constantly abuse Reyna is just straight cruel.

Sweating horribly with every inch of her small body aching, Reyna could feel tears forming as she only had one task to do.

One task to do and that was to just to land one punch on Ms. Syrah, but so far I've been nowhere close to her body. Let alone within 16 inches of her.

I know for a fact that I was never this weak before... I know for a FACT that I WASN'T! I was a Queen that fought Mistress physically and mentally for a living! How the hell did I end up so weak like this?!

After waking up from that kick to the face that she received, when Reyna finally did wake up, she was met with Ms. Syrah there waiting for her with a basket of food containing some sandwiches, fruits, and water. But, in Syrah's other hand, there was the training grounds outfit that everyone has to wear for protection.

Every outfit came with gloves, a helmet, and fresh pair of shoes. But the only thing Reyna received was the outfit and the shoes.

After eating the food that was in the basket, Ms. Syrah's training was so harsh and brutal of Reyna's body, that Reyna managed to throw up everything that she came into contact with throughout the entire day. Leaving Reyna hungry once more.

"You're supposed to be learning something from this fight little girl." Ms. Syrah yelled out

Looking up at her, the old woman wasn't actually as old as Reyna thought. Ms. Syrah had a very fit body that was small despite how big her cheeks are. Her arms held muscles and her calf muscles showed that she never missed a workout a day in her life.

She was surprisingly flexible for someone who looked young but so old.

"Well when you actually want to teach Grandma, I'll be more prepared." Reyna mocked

Watching Ms. Syrah face twisted up, Syrah began running at Reyna in full force. Every movement that Syrah made wasn't wasted and held power behind every action she completed. Not paying attention to how fast she was running, Ms. Syrah used her right hand to punch Reyna right in her nose with force that she hasn't used before.

GOD! She was holding back, Reyna thought to herself as the body flung itself backwards from the gravitational attack that she just did.

Landing with her back on the ground beneath Reyna, Reyna sighed feeling her mouth frown.

Fuck this Rein... you've been a badass all your life, don't fall prey to this weak b***h!  Reyna started to pick herself up as she could feel the heaviness consuming her to limit her movements. 

Ms. Syrah whistled at Reyna as she watched her get onto her feet with amusement. Reyna looked at Syrah's face anger. As jumped slightly on her feet, Ms. Syrah charged at Reyna quickly as Reyna lifted her right hand up to punch at her... the thought of punching is what made Reyna confident enough to place a lot of power behind her hit, but Ms. Syrah suddenly disappeared as Reyna's fist was swing out into the air.

"HUH?!"

Trying to turn her body around, Reyna around and saw that Ms. Syrah was now behind her with a smile on her face.

"Boo b***h!" Ms. Syrah said as she lifted her leg and used enough force to kick Reyna's back 

Reyna's gasped as she could feel her back straighten completely and then a little too much, as she felt her muscles trying to pull themselves more than the ever did. She could feel pain now all throughout her back, it was as if something ripped...  Did I just rip my back muscles?

Falling onto the ground below her once more, Reyna felt defeated as she realized that she didn't have the strength that she once had. I'm weaker than what I once was... death has made me weaker...

"Don't kill them, don't spazz out of control."

Reyna tried to calm herself down, she tried to believe that she was going to get back up and beat this b***h ass, but the overwhelming presence of wanting to rip their heads off was too strong for her. 

She couldn't do this, she couldn't keep putting this pressure onto her while knowing that she couldn't handle it right now. It was best for her to walk away at this moment. It was a Queen's battle move, to walk away from a fight now, but to win the war later. 

Hating herself for this weak image that she seem to be keeping up, Reyna pushed herself to get up from off of the ground and saw an audience of the servants all staring at her while laughing.

"Aww! It was only a matter of time little baby you finally got up. Do you even know why your still alive?" Ms. Syrah said fake wiping tears away from her eyes

And with Ms. Syrah saying that, the servants started laughing even harder at her words.

Fuck Reyna... this is really what we ended up belittling ourselves to?  Reyna thought as she ignored the audience.

Walking away from the stupid audience that surrounded her everyday just to torture her and annoy her soul, Reyna decided to finally find her ow comfort in her own space. A space... that she didn't know existed yet. 

You would think that after dying and losing everything that my second chance at life would be easier. That my chance to try and recover would happen as soon as I found my son in another life and in this life, Zahn just happens to be a Prince as well.

Why is everything so hard for me? And why does everything seem weird but natural to me?!

Lifting her head up as she began looking out into the distance, Reyna realized that she was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but huge trees that carried beautiful pink flowers and sitting in a meadow with white tulips all around.

One white tulip... 

Dragnior's Office

"Master, Ms. Reyna seems to have had an accident on the training grounds."

Looking up at his butler, Dragnior put down the papers he was holding in his hand as he changed his attention to his butler. Dragnior was busy filling out paperwork that had the title "financial"' on it as the Lovech Kingdom seemed to have some debt to pay back. 

With his eyebrow raised in anger, the butler didn't know what to do as they held a stare down.

"WELL! WHERE IS SHE?!" Dragnior yelled out to the mindless i***t of a butler

"O-Oh y-y-yes. She ran off towards the Garden of Rubian sir."

The Garden of Rubian? She's stepping way out of line right now. 

Standing up from behind his desk, Dragnior was ready to finally talk to his other half once more. It's not that he didn't want to talk to her, it was just that he didn't know what to say to her.

For heaven's sake they have nothing in common except for the fact that he gave her his blood, but how awkward would that be to say is normal day to day conversation.

"Hey Reyna. You were dead so I saved you by giving your body some of my blood knowing that there was a 0 percent success rate in you surviving but you actually survived and I was shocked so I brought you to my home."

"That sounds stupid sir."

Hearing his butler speak, Dragnior didn't think that he was saying everything out loud so it surprised him for his butler to talk.

"James! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Dragnior yelled at the butler

The butler James simply nodded his head as he turned away from his Master.

Sighing Dragnior made a plan in his head about what he should do for his other half. Whether or not she ends up being a part of the plan will be completely up to her...

Garden of Rubian

As Reyna kept looking out into the distance, she could feel her frozen heart keep getting colder as the once warm winds now become cold at the touch of her finger tips. Her body was also frozen as she could feel a frost bite coming to haunt her if she stayed in the area any longer.

Watching the once lively sun slowly began to dim as it was setting to darkness in front of her eyes, Reyna could hear some shuffling noises.

"Who's there?" Reyna questioned

"Reyna?"

Forcing her eyes to focus on the voice that she heard, Reyna could now fully see King Dragnior standing there looking at her with eyes of concern.

"How is everything going so far within the palace?" He asked

Chuckling in disbelief, Reyna couldn't believe he asked that question as he's looked at her bruised up face that probably has dried up blood all around the nose and mouth area. Reyna has been nothing but injured since she stepped foot into the Lovech Kingdom as no one seemed to like her.

Hell... she barely liked herself. After losing her son as she learned to live her days getting beat up, she spent every night crying herself to sleep and kept up with that routine apparently.

"Sad to say but everything is going... weird. I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do or what I am supposed to be doing with the life that I've been giving." Reyna answered honestly.

"You've escaped the destiny that the world handed to you as you received another chance at life. Life that many people have not been able to achieve," Dragnior stated while talking "So what will you do with the second chance of life that the world gifted you? What's going to be your purpose in life?"

Listening to Dragnior's words, Reyna eyes widen.

What is my purpose for receiving another life? To be thankful for the people who saved me when I was dying? To be constantly mourning over my son as I remember everyday what happened to me?

Dragnior could see Reyna's mind wandering and it didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Reyna's mind was thinking the wrong way. It shows in her movement and in her abilities to keep up with simple training.  This was not the woman he saved all those nights ago. 

"I picked you up from the ground of that dirty ass palace so that you could become someone, but I am so disappointed in what you turned out to be." Dragnior spoke out

What...?

Turning her head quickly to look at Dragnior, Dragnior rolled his eyes at her and clicked his tongue.

"I wasted my time and energy on a weak woman. You were the Queen of the Red Crest Kingdom so I thought that you would be stronger and smarter. And yet, here you are acting like a stupid lost bitch."

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH WHEN TALKING TO ME!" Reyna yelled at Dragnior as she felt anger hurling over her

Dragnior's pupils cut low as he rushed over to her with his hand out. Before Reyna's mind could even understand what Dragnior was doing, Dragnior had his hand around her small neck as she was too shocked to even breath at the moment.

"WATCH YOUR f*****g MOUTH!" Drangior yelled at Reyna as he tighten his grip on her neck while mocking her words

Feeling her body start to become weaker at the hands of this confusing King, Dragnior's gold eyes were haunting her as she could see a little image come into her brain as she looked into the darkness of his pupil.

Staring at him, Reyna could see the body of her lifeless being laying on the ground with blood leaving her.

Blood leaving her poor body as she looked lifeless and empty. Reyna looked like nothing as her soul was no longer inside of her body. Reyna started to panic, but her panic was short lived as Drangior tighten his grip once more, making her no longer able to breathe.

"You became a weak ass woman. A weak ass woman who serves no purpose in this life no more. Maybe I should've let you die along with your body on that night." Dragnior said to her harshly

Feeling tears starting to gather as her body knew that it was reaching its death and was scared again, as if Dragnior could feel her pains, Drangior let go of her and pushed her onto the ground beneath us. Opening her eyes wide as she opened her mouth trying to get air back, Reyna began coughing violently as her throat felt like hell.

"Your worried about trying to adapt to life, but you should be worried about whether or not I will let you live peacefully in this life."

Hearing the grass push itself into the ground, Reyna could tell that Dragnior was now walking away from her.

Fear... fear was throwing itself into chaos as she didn't understand why Drangior would attack her when the world has been acting her since she woke up from her death.

With her heart beating badly as it started to slowly skip beats, Reyna could feel her heart trying to give out on me as she started to panic even worse now.

With Dragnior words still ringing in my ears, I could feel myself wondering... what is my purpose?
