A World Of Dragons

Chapter 19 Toin

"Your Majesty," Salana said as she bowed to Marianna. "What is it?" Mari asked, turning to Salana. "We have received a Prophecy from the witch Arcel" Salana said. "Arcel?" Marianna questioned. "I wouldn't trust that prophecy, your majesty," Alastor said, appearing behind Salana. Mariannas eyes gave off a red glow for a moment.

"Arcel has never been wrong before," Salana said, turning to Alastor. "What is the prophecy?" Marianna asked. Salana turned back to marianna. "It would be best coming from the source don't you think, your grace" Arcel said entering the room. She was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and brown eyes. "What is this prophecy you speak of" Alastor said to Arcel. "The Princess will soon return" Arcel began. "She will gather those most loyal to her and use them to take back what was meant to be hers" Arcel said towards Alastor. "But she will not return with 3 dragons your grace" Arcel said. "Will it be less?" Marianna asked. "No" Arcel replied. "She will return with hundreds" she added. "And when she does the flames that come from them will cleanse the land from the darkness that covers it" she told them. "That's not possible" Alastor said to Arcel. "You don't understand a thing do you, oh great Archmage of the wizard tower" Arcel said rhetorically. "Seraphina Sengrid was Reborn from fire, and blessed by the gods" Arcel stated. "Those who follow her and die shall be reborn and those who fight against her will be cursed" she told Alastor.

"All that is left for her to do is realize the power she holds and once she does even you shall burn from the flame she chooses" Arcel added.

"ATTACK!" Seraphina yelled as Storm landed. "Fly away" she said to storm, as she hopped off storm and pulled out her sword. Storm took off into the sky as Aymaran Warriors rode past her on their horses charging at the rebels of Toin. The fighting had begun.

Seraphina walked the battle field, as those the warriors missed aimed for her. With a swing of her sword they would be gone in an instant. "Sera!" Daniel said catching up to her on horseback. "What in the world are you doing?" He asked "waiting" she said simply. "What for?" He asked. Suddenly a loud but small roars came from the sky above them. "Dragons" she answered, as they landed in front of her and Daniel. Multiple with men riding them. Some were already the size of horses.

"You must be the Princess of Sengrid" said the man on the first baby dragon. Sona appeared on blizzard and landed behind Sera. Compared to the baby dragons blizzard was at least 10 times the size.

"You are in the presence of Seraphina Sengrid, Crown Princess Of Sengrid, Riyna Of the Aymaran people and Daughter Of dragons, I suggest you show some respect" sona said blatantly. "So you have one dragon," said the man. "What is one against thousands?" he added. Seraphina smiled. Suddenly Flare and Storm landed next to her. "What are thousands of babies against 3 Full grown Dragons?" Seraphina asked.

"What is your name?" She asked. He hesitated for a moment. "My name is Ilaric" he said simply.

"Ilaric..." Sera said stepping forward. "I suggest you and your people give up now, for there is no way you will win" she told him. "You are a very dumb princess" Ilaric said. "TAKE THE PRINCESS!" Ilaric yelled the baby dragons charged towards her. "Flare" she said. And flare suddenly stepped in front of her. The baby dragons suddenly began to back away I fear of their mother.

"YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES" ilaric yelled. "The only crime I have committed that you care about is that I am a women" she told him. "A women who wears a crown" she added. "Men will never willingly bow to the weaker s*x" he told her "and they will suffer greatly for it" she replied.

"I will only give you one chance" seraphina said. "Surrender... give up this rebellion and live or continue to fight and die" she added. "Your people will only continue to die if you do not" she told him. "IT WAS YOUR MOTHER WHO BEGAN THIS WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE WHEN SHE BURNED OUR CAPITAL TO THE GROUND!" Ilaric yelled. "It was your former king who brought it upon you, not my mother or even I" she said.

"It isn't too late... we can still fix this" she told him "The only way to fix what has happened is to kill you, and your b***h of a mother, then destroy your empire with these dragons" he told her.

Seraphina let out a sigh. "Then so be it" she said turning and walking away. "Where are you going?" Daniel asked following her. "I'll deal with the dragons you deal with him" she told him. "ATTACK" ilaric yelled. Seraphina took off running as the baby dragons took of into the air and began to chase after her.

Seraphina continued to run into the woods, Weaving in and out of trees as they continued to chase her.

But unfortunately it wasn't long before she found herself on the edge of a cliff. Seraphina turned away from the cliff and now faced the dragons. She was there when these dragons hatched. But why? Why did they all hatch at that exact moment?

Her eyes began to give off a red glow, as she put her hands up. "ឈប់ (Stop)" Seraphina said. What the hell did she just say? She wondered. How the hell did she even say it? She thought as the dragons stopped moving towards her. "បម្រុងទុក (back up)" she said and they backed up.

"បោះជំហានទៅមុខ (Step forward)" she added and they stepped forward. They obeyed her? She put her arms down and stepped forward. Was this magic? She asked herself. "What kind of magic could control dragons? She wondered. Seraphina reached her hand out to a light blue dragon and touched its nose. Feelings she didn't feel popped into her head.

"I don't wish to control you like he did," seraphina said quietly, petting his nose. "You all deserve to choose the life you wish to live even if you're Dragons" she said, her eyes turning back to blue. "Go and be free," she said, taking a step back.

The baby dragon tilted its head at her for a moment then looked into the sky then back to seraphina. "If someone tries to control you again burn them down" she told them, before they took off into the sky.

Seraphina watched in amazement as the hundreds of baby dragons flew off the cliff towards the sun. May they never be controlled again. She thought to herself.
