The Ultimate Dragon Love Story

Another day in the castle, another day just started as every other day. There was one difference, today was my 19th birthday. Only with my birthday, people from the kingdom were allowed to come to the castle and I could wear a wonderful dress. I stood up early and looked in my closet. A week ago I asked my toiler to make me a wonderful purple dress, one that would suit my hair. I took the dress now and looked in the mirror. I was different than the others. Everyone in the kingdom had Blond, Brown, Black hair.. Mine was purple. I didn't understand why, but my mother had learned me that I was a gift for the kingdom. Poor thing that she died.. I sighed and asked my maids to come and help me.

I took a long hot bath and after that my hair was washed, I got out of it and got dressed. My dress was fitting perfectly, though this was not the purple dress yet. That one would be for tonight. My hair was braided from the side as it fell by over my shoulder. I walked downstairs and saw that a lot of people where decorating the hall and the ball room. ''No sneak peaking Princess'' my father said with a smile. I smiled. ''Father.. I wouldn't dare'' I said with a cute smile. ''Just as stubborn as your mother... You remind me of her every day a little more'' he said and looked away. I looked down, I knew that father was missing mother just like I did. ''Come Princess, lets get out breakfast'' he said. ''Yes father'' I said and followed him to the breakfast table.

Deep in the cave that overlooked the castle, a dragon with sparkling blue scales sat there watching the Kingdom. He was the last dragon of the world as the others had been killed off or died. It felt strange to the dragon as a 1000 years ago he was a loyal night to the then queen Jania who forth in the war, Mike had fought as hard as he could but the kingdom had fallen and now ruling it was normal humans who the Dragon had seen tore apart banners and flags depicting a dragon. He had attack the castle on a few occasion but nothing seemed to work.

[BeautifulSnow]

During our breakfast my father asked me the same question, he did every year. ''My Princess, do you know what you wanna have this year for your birthday?'' he asked and I took a sip of the orange juice. ''I want... to visit the forest'' I said. ''For three hours I wanna be free... no knights... no army.. nobody... just me'' I said. ''That is unacceptable.. You know that.. I can not let you run around freely'' he said. ''It is not fair! Why not? I am nineteen years old, but you keep on treating me like I am five!'' I said and stood straight. ''Because you are asking such stupid things'' The king said. ''This is not fair father! Why do I have to be locked up my whole life! How will I ever understand the villagers as a queen if I never met them..'' I said and walked away. ''You can cancel the stupid prom! I do not feel like acting happy if my own father does not even wanna give me the one thing I wanna have so badly'' I said.

A knight watched this argument between the princess and her father, once Elsbeth had left he bowed to the king and said "Sir, while it not me place to tell you, I think you should let the princess explore the Forest. You know as well as I do about the legends of this kingdom, there is a dragon who always protects the princesses of the kingdom. Despite your fear of them, this one will never let harm come to the princesses of the kingdom"

[BeautifulSnow]

The king looked at the knight. ''I can not let my daughter meet up with the dragon.. Only a few people know why. And you are right.. It is not your place to tell me what to do'' the king said. ''Go back to your post and make sure that she will not escape from the castle.. She is a dreamer... And its time that she will understand what her place is'' he said and then left to his own chambers. there he sat down on a chair and looked into the mirror of his dead wife. His face changed into the head of a dragon. ''You almost killed my daughter at birth.. Why do I have to be one of the left dragons..'' he said to the red dragon.

Elsbeth closed the door of her chambers and locked them. She was not gonna let her father ruin her birthday again, he always did that by not letting her meet with the folks of the kingdom. She would try to escape, she wanted to see the town people and the forests. The maids always said that the best blue berry's where found in the forest and she loved blue berry's. She took her cloak and unlocked the door. Opening it slowly to see if knights where placed near her door already. Not yet.. She placed her cloak around her shoulders and then started to run, when she was around the corner, she bumped into a knight and fell on the ground.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

The night she bump into was the same one who had question the king. He was by the front door as that was his post at this late hour. He looked at Elsbeth before he helped her up and then step aside letting her leave the castle but he did say to her "be back before Sunrise princess or your father will have a heart attack. Also be repectful to the Dragon Statue in town"

[BeautifulSnow]

''Dragon Statue..?'' Elsbeth said with a curios look in her eyes and smiled. ''Thank you.. Your the only one that is a bit nice for me'' she said and then walked away. She used a hidden stairs and escaped from the castle. She ran over the path to the town and looked around. The sun was setting and she wondered if someone would know who she was. ''Good evening ma'am'' someone said and she looked at the man. She made a nod with her head. He stopped walking and so did she.

''Good evening sir'' she said. ''Wonderful evening, isn't it?'' he asked. ''Yes, it is'' she said and smiled. ''If your on your way to the Dragon Statue, it is up this road, just follow the path'' he said. ''Oh, thank you very much sir'' she said. ''Your welcome my princess'' he then said. She looked shock. ''Don't worry princess.. We have always been curios to our princess.. We won't tell your father'' he said. ''Thank you so much'' she said. She followed the path and like the man had said, she saw a huge stone Dragon Statue in the middle of the town. ''Ooh, My god'' she said with widened eyes and she bowed for the dragon statue. Then she stood straight and did a step closer, some people looked at what she was doing and she laid her hand on the Dragon. ''So beautiful..'' she whispered.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Once she touched the state, suddenly there was sound like a rustling of leaves and the sound of water, the statue then began to glow as it would burn her hand slightly leaving her handprint on there before the rusted plaque suddenly became clean and one of the villagers who was close to Elsbeth read it out loud to the others gathered "The dragon of the kingdom, gaze upon him with hope and love. Pray to him and let the burden you feel be lifted, allow him to guide you to a new home. For this dragon is the legendary wielder of the blue flames". Villagers gather round and began to pray to the dragon and as the plaque had promised many felt a great weight get lifted of their shoulders.

In the cave, Mike eyes fluttered open as he felt something he had not felt in a long time. He felt calm and at ease as he began to hear peoples prayers. He felt his powers slowly returning to him, he breathed into his hand where he found a small spark of blue flame. He slowly began to stand up as he said "I feel sad for attack the town now, I never expected the people to have so many concerns"

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth didn't understand what happened but she looked at her hand. Frowned for a moment and then touched the dragon's flank. ''We are here to protect you.. We will never hurt you ever again'' she whispered and made her own prayer by whispering nice sounding words to the statue. She kept concentrated and knew that some people would think that she was crazy, she felt some people looking at her. She breathed in and out slowly. ''Do not feel scared, hurt or attacked... I was just curios.. This is the first time I see you...'' she whispered and leaned against the statue. It felt like there was really someone listening to her, but she didn't knew anything from the dragon.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Suddenly Elsbeth would feel herself taken away and she would be standing in the castle but not the one she knew. Sitting there on the throne was a man who's eyes glowed dragon like in the shadows before he said "I can scent one of my own on your body, deep inside your heart is the heart of dragon which make me curious about you. However, I am also wary of you and this kingdom because of the past regarding my old queen. So allow me to make something clear to you, because of what you have done regarding the statue. I have felt my strength and power returning to me, so I shall be blunt. I shall be enter the Kingdom tomorrow where I can see what has happen to it since my 1000 year absence"

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth looked around and she didn't understand where she was. She looked at the man and let her cloak fall on the ground. ''I do not know about what you are talking... I am princess Elsbeth.. This was my first visit to the town from my kingdom..'' she said and sighed. ''My father doesn't let me leave the castle.. I need to return before sunrise'' she said and looked around and then back at the man. ''The kingdom is doing great, for so far I heard the vegetables and fruit are greater than last year and the town people are very lucky'' she said. She looked at his dragon eyes. ''Your eyes... They look like the eyes from the statue... How did I get here anyway?'' she asked.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

The dragon chuckled a little as she asked him how she got here so he walked up to her still hidden in the shadows and looked into her eyes before he smiled and said "technically you are still in the same spot you were in town but we are in your mind in the throne room you will one day take away, and I already know you are the princess and that your 19th birthday is coming soon. Don't worry my princess, if the town is as happy as you see then I will be at ease however if it is not, plague will fall on the kingdom. For now, I did you adui princess. oh by the way, I have made some alteration within your family. You will now be free to explore the town and find me", he kissed her softly on the cheek before a flash happen once more and Elsbeth would find herself in the same position she was before the statue had spoken. The people still prayed and the statue showed signs of blue fire around it

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth looked around her and touched her cheek. She saw that her cloak laid on the ground, she had heard the warning clearing. The throne room she would once take away? She shook her head. ''Folks.. Its okay.. He is fine.. Please go home and sleep good tonight... We will all need that'' she said. The people listened to her and stopped their praying . She saw them leave and then she looked at the statue. ''That kiss.. Was not something a gentleman would do'' she whispered with a chuckle. ''So.. your daring me to find you... If I am right.. You are the dragon and so you live outside the town'' she said and then walked to the path she took to go to the town, she would get a horse and even if she didn't exactly knew how to ride it, she would go to the forest.

Once Elsbeth had a horse and sat on it, it seemed quit simple to ride it. She just let it walk and not go faster and looked around. She had entered the forest half an hour ago and it was getting close to midnight. ''Stupid caves.. Why are they not just.. placing roadboards... 'Dragon cave.. This way'..'' she said and joked a little toward the horse. It did not respond, of course. She sighed and looked around. Suddenly she saw something and she turned the horse to that way, suddenly the horse started to get nervous. ''Easy girl.. boy.. what ever you are..'' she said and stopped the horse. ''I think.. That I found him'' she said and got of the horse. She let the horse stand there and walked toward the cave, slowly and watching where she stepped.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

The moment Elsbeth enter the cave she would see a blast of Blue fire come at her before suddenly she would find herself awake in her own bedroom in the castle. On her bedside would be a note it read "Oh Princess Elsbeth, you made a wrong choice walking into a dragon cave when he is preparing himself for his test. I will be in town for the next few weeks all leading up to your 19th birthday, I love the way you challenge yourself as not many would brave trying to find a Dragon cave and that has made me respect you. So I offer a challenge for you, I want you to see if you can find me in the mass of people that live here in this town, find me and I will grant you any request you wish. Failure means little so worry not. I have also blocked out the Beating dragon heart within you so you can not find me using the dragon senses. I hope to see the kingdom is in good hands now
Regards
Dragon
As the dragon had said, around dawn A blonde haired samurai warrior walked into town. His duel blades resting on his hips as he walked up to the Statue and winked at it before he chuckled to himself and checked his reflection in the waters. His dragon eyes vanished to be replace with Golden blue one which even in itself was strange but then again, most people had strange eyes these days.

[BeautifulSnow]

The moment Elsbeth woke up and found the note, she groaned some. What was he meaning with the dragon heart? Why was he challenging her and why did he bring her back to the castle? He had told her during that weird moment at the statue that she had to find him. She had right? He was mean.. Wait.. The statue! Maybe that was her answer. She sighed and got dressed in one of her most simple dresses. A light blue / lavender colored one with a transparent veil in lavender, it was one of her favorites. She had her breakfast in silents and then said: ''I am going to visit the town today.. I want one knight with me.. the folks are so kind'' she said. Her father sighed and nodded. ''Okay my little princess.. I must apologize for my overprotecting way of raising you'' he said. ''Oh daddy.. Its alright.. I love you'' she said and stood up.

She decided to dress up in a more easier dress, also one that would not look very Royal and then took her older cloak. She walked to the stables and together with a knight she got to the town. ''Stay here.. or go have some fun... I need to do this alone'' she said and walked trough the town. Everywhere were people saw her, they greeted her and she greeted them back. She bought some flowers and got herself something to drink. Later, she ended up at the Statue, she laid the flowers at the feet of the dragon and looked at it. ''Tell me Dragon.. Where are you'' she whispered and let her cloak fall on the ground.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

In Human form the dragon was known as Mike Fertar but of course Elsbeth would not know that. Considering he was at the Statue already he noticed Elsbeth and smiled to himself before he took on a serious face and said "This is rather unexpected to see a princess out in town, I though you guys were always locked in big towers". Mike had gone for a pretty basic look, a long jacket with an open front which showed off his muscular body, simple black trousers and armour shoes, this would not put him out of place in anyway.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth looked at him and frowned some. Somewhere the things that had happened were feeling like a dream but she couldn't forget it and mostly she never knew what she dreamed. She touched her cheek for a moment and then laid her hand on the flank of the dragon again. ''Now I am wondering why you think that I am the princess... I do not look much different from the other young women here in town'' she said. Her dress had the same colors as the dresses from most young women. Only her dress was softly but with an normal eye you would not be able to see that. She let her hand slide down and crossed her arms behind her back.

''Tell me.. Sir.. Why do you think that I am the princess... And if you think so... Then why do you not bow for me... Most people would bow for a princess'' she said, she sounded a bit cheeky but she smiled. Maybe the dragon had sealed her 'dragon heart' or what ever he would mean with that. Though she had still her intuition and something about this person said that he was not a normal person from the town.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike chuckled and bowed to her. "There is certain air around you, as well as the fact that many people have bowed to you as you have walked past them. People do not bow unless it is a person of royalty" He said to her, Mike was quite smart so he used that to his advantage here after all there was nothing dragon like about him in this form. Mike then bowed to her again, "Forgive me Princess but there are things I must attend to" he said before he walked away from her

[BeautifulSnow]

"Not a kiss on my cheek this time?" Elsbeth said, loud enough to be heard but only by Mike. "It might feel like a dream but I can recall your face from yesterday" she said and walked toward him. "You challenged me twice now.. if I end up waking up in my bed again I will not be listening to the calls you bring or the strange feeling that I get whenever I am near the statue" she said and looked at him with a smile.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

"You are very impressive if you can recall a face hidden by darkness" Mike was going to say but realised she must be testing him so he said "Why would my face look familiar to you princess we've never met before and I was coming here to study up on the blue fire dragon. Do you know anything about it?"
