part 10: Trouble.
"Hello King Yamo, queen Ria." The witch said, appearing in their luxury suite. The queen owed her as much as the king did if not more since she got a potion to bring Yamo back from the brink of death which was caused during a fierce battle between him and his Father's brother which whom was much stronger than his father. He had been so close to death that the only way to save him was with that potion, he won regardless, but he was still almost dead. "What are you doing here, witch?" Yamo asked, venom lacing his tone. Considering all he'd heard of her, she knew why, and it only made her grin. "I've come to collect on your debts. Bring me the one of ancient blood, alive. His power is useless to me if he's dead." The witch said. She couldn't do so herself, she might be strong but she isn't stupid enough to try and fight a bunch of warrior dragons, capture him and expect to come out alive, they couldn't do anything to her because of the magical deal, at least not directly.
"What if we refuse?" Yamo asked, earning a cackle. "Your daughter is quite the beauty, and her royal blood makes her quite valuable either in power or to sell to dragon poachers." The witch grinned. "You don't touch her!" Ria yelled. "Alright, we'll help you, but after this, we're done." Yamo growled. "Good." She replied, "Head home and do what you must. You'll know where to find me. " she then vanished as if she was never there. The royal couple looking at each other, they really didn't want to do such a thing, but what choice did they have? "It's for our daughter." Ria consoled. "Y-yeah, I-I know it just..." Yamo trailed, "doesn't feel right." Ria finished for him, understanding just how he felt. "C'mon, let's head home. Make sure she's safe." She added, getting up.
Meanwhile
Back at the castle
Kai had just asked for whatever Moon did, not sure what kind of foods they had here, wondering if they made these 'dishes' in villages too, surely being fourlegged creatures it would be difficult, and how would we have discovered these things that humans do anyways? He'd asked himself. "Some dragons like to steal books from humans, namely the ones that have deciphered and understand their texts, that's how we know of things such as this without being captured for whatever they wish to do to us or stuck as one of their pets." Moon said, answering his unasked question without reading his mind. "Ah." Kai replied.
"What's it like being princess and such?" "Frustrating, irritating, all of it, parents are extremely restricting, have to be guarded almost twenty-four seven..." she ranted. "But when they're gone, I feel less like a captive and more important and free. I can fly around all I want and practicay do whatever I wanna do without needing permission or risking getting a damn lecture." "I haven't been taught to fly yet." He stated simply. "You haven't been taught to fly? Dragons are taught to fly once they start becoming aware of the world." She replied. "Well, they seemed afraid of something every time they flew with me or anytime I asked, I think they were afraid of that dark witch finding me." He answered, looking down as their food came. Just some berries, fruits mixed in with some seared fish. "I know cooked fish probably weirds you out, but try it. It tastes a bit better." She told him before replying to his statement. "That's understandable, I suppose first thing we need to do is get you off your feet and into the air, I will probably do that myself during training." There seemed to be a little gleam in her eye as she said that. "Why do I feel like you're going to enjoy kicking my ass?" He sighed.
