White Dragon

You are such a tease. You need to give us more Haruka.

i like it!

QUEEN FAE EYED HER FAVORITE KNIGHT, AND CONTENTLY SAT DOWN IN HER THRONE OF GLASS, CRYSTALS AND SILVERS. “YES. I HAVE A MISSION FOR YOU DRAIGEN.” SHE STARTED COLDLY. “YOU ARE TO RETRIEVE FAWN AND HER COMPANION, SADIRA, FROM THE HUMAN WORLD.”
SHE RAISED HER RIGHT HAND AND A SMALL WHITE PARCHMENT APPEARED. WAVING HER HAD GENTLY; THE PARCHMENT FLEW TO DRAIGEN, WHOM TOOK IT GRACEFULLY. “THOSE ARE THE COORDINATES OF FAWN’S LOCATION. YOU HAVE YOUR ORDERS”
DRAIGEN BOWED THEN STOOD AND STARTED TO MAKE HIS WAY TOWARDS THE HAZEL TREE, WHICH SERVED AS A MAGICAL DOOR BETWEEN FEY AND THE HUMAN WORLD. HE RAISED HIS RIGHT HAND AND THE PORTAL STARTED TO MATERIALIZE. JUST AS CALMLY AND SMOOTHLY, DRAIGEN WALKED THROUGH THE MIRAGE OF A DOOR AND INTO THE HUMAN WORLD.
---------

Cool. A portal to another world. I want one of those.

DRAIGEN FOUND HIMSELF INSIDE A LOWLY LIT FOYER. STARES LEADING UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR WERE IN FRONT OF HIM. TO HIS RIGHT A LARGE LIVING AREA WITH EXPENSIVE FURNITURE AND A TV WAS RADIATING THE LOW LIGHT FROM A LARGE THREE WICK CANDLE ON THE COFFEE TABLE. THE ROOM ON HIS LEFT HAD A LARGE DINING ROOM TABLE BIG ENOUGH TO SIT TEN PEOPLE WITH A FIREPLACE AND A CRYSTAL CHANDELIER HANGING OVER THE TABLE. HE PASSED THE STARES AND STARTED DOWN THE HALL. HE FOUND THE KITCHEN, ALL STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES WITH DARK WOOD CABINETS CROWNED THE WALLS WITH AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE. FRENCH DOORS OVER LOOKED AT A BACKYARD AND POOL.
OUTSIDE THE SKY BLACK AND LIGHTNING FLASHING IN ANGRY RIBBONS OF LIGHT, ILLUMINATING THE HOUSE, MAKING DARK AND FEARSOME SHADOWS DANCE THROUGHOUT THE ROOM.
HE HATED THE HUMAN WORLD. HE HATED HUMANS. HE WASN’T SURE WHY EXACTLY QUEEN FAE HAD GIVEN HIM THIS MISSION. TO FETCH HER DAUGHTER FAWN WHICH NO ONE IN THE WORLD OF FEY HAD SEEN IN OVER TWO YEARS, AS WELL AS TO RECOVER THIS OTHER GIRL DRAIGEN HAD NEVER HEARD OF.
“PLEASE LEAVE OR I WILL CALL THE AUTHORITIES” A WOMAN’S VOICE TOLD HIM.

DRAIGEN LOOKED AROUND BUT COULD SEE NO ONE. “I’M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU. I WAS SENT FOR FAWN AND SADIRA”
AFTER A LONG PAUSE, THE WOMAN SPOKE ONCE MORE. “WHO ARE YOU?”
THE THUNDER ROARED AS RAIN STARTED TO FALL IN A HARSH DOWN PORE.
“I AM DRAIGEN, ONE OF QUEEN FAE’S DRAGON KNIGHTS OF THE COURT.” HE ANSWERED PROUDLY.
THE LIGHTNING FLASHED, CASTING DRAIGEN’S SHADOW ACROSS THE KITCHEN WALL. EVEN IN HIS HUMAN FORM, HIS SHADOW CLEARLY DISPLAYED HIS DRAGON FORM.
“YOU TRULY ARE A DRAGON…” THE WOMAN’S VOICE SAID IN A HUSHED TONE.
WHERE IS SHE? DRAIGEN WONDERED. HE COULD HEAR HER AND SHE COULD CLEARLY SEE HIM. BUT HE COULDN’T SEE HER, WHICH ANNOYING HIM.
“SHOW YOURSELF” HE ORDERED. HE WASN’T READY FOR WHAT HE SAW.
A TINY BLUE AND GREEN DRAGON STEPPED OUT OF THE KITCHEN CLOSET AND IN FRONT OF HIM. DRAIGEN COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES. HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A SMALL AND BEAUTIFUL DRAGON. SHE HAD A SLEEK HEAD WITH ALMOND SHAPED CRYSTAL GREEN EYES. SHE HAD NO HORNS SINCE ONLY MALE DRAGONS HAD HORNS ON THEIR HEADS. SHE WAS TINY AND PETITE IN A VERY ADORABLE WAY.
“WHO ARE YOU?” HE ASKED KNEELING TO LOOK AT HER CLOSER.
“MY NAME IS SADIRA” SHE SAID AND BOWED, HER WINGS OPEN AND WIDE.

“IT’S AN HONOR. I APOLOGIZE; IT WASN’T MY INTENTION TO FRIGHTEN YOU.” HE SAID, SMILING AT HER.
SADIRA EYED HIM. HE WAS QUITE HANDSOME. HIS JET BLACK BANGS DANCED OVER HIS COPPER EYES. SHE ARCHED A BROW AS SHE NOTICED SWIRLS OF GOLD IN HIS EYES. IT HAD BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE SHE HAD MET OR EVEN SEEN ANOTHER DRAGON. SHE FOUND HERSELF BRIEFLY WONDERING WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE IN HIS TRUE FORM.
“DO YOU NOT HAVE A HUM FORM?” HE ASKED, TRYING TO SEE WHERE HER MAGICAL SATCHEL WAS. SADIRA SMILED. HUM FORM. HE HATED HUMANS.
“I DO, BUT I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUED SATCHEL FOR MY TRANSFORMATION” SHE INFORMED HIM.
“I SEE…”
DRAIGEN STARRED AT HER. HER BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF BLUE AND GREEN SCALES, HER CRYSTAL GREEN EYES. THE ELEGANCE OF HER MANNERISM, HE HAD NO DOUBT SHE WAS A VERY GENTLE AND LOVELY GIRL.
“YOU MENTIONED YOU WERE HERE FOR FAWN AND I?” SADIRA SAID AS SHE SAT, WRAPPING HER TAIL AROUND HER PAWS.
“YES, QUEEN FAE HAS ORDERED ME TO BRING YOU BOTH BACK.”

“MOTHER WANTS US TO RETURN?”
DRAIGEN TURNED TO FIND PRINCESS FAWN STANDING IN THE DOOR WAY. HE MENTALLY KICKED HIMSELF FOR BEING SO IN AWE OF SADIRA HE HADN’T EVEN HEARD THE PRINCESS’S STEPS. HE BOWED RESPECTFULLY.
“YES PRINCESS”
THE PRINCESS STOOD TALL, HAD LONG BLONDE HAIR AND AQUA EYES. SHE LOOKED VERY MUCH HER MOTHER’S DAUGHTER.
“WE ARE TO RETURN IN THE MORNING. THE QUEEN WAS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT RETURNING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE” DRAIGEN INFORMED HER AS HE STOOD.
“PLEASE EXCUSE ME” SADIRA SAID. DRAIGEN FROWNED, WONDERING WHY SHE WAS LEAVING AS HE WATCHED HER DISAPPEAR UP THE KITCHEN STAIRS.
AS SADIRA LEFT THE KITCHEN, FAWN EYED DRAIGEN. SHE REMEMBERED HIM AS ONE OF HER MOTHER’S KNIGHTS. HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN HANDSOME AND HAD A ROUGH ROGUE OF A LOOK TO HIM. A BAD BOY, WAS WHAT HUMANS CALLED MEN LIKE HIM. AS SHE RECALLED HE WAS QUITE POPULAR WITH THE LADIES.
“KNIGHT DRAIGEN ISN’T IT?” SHE SAID AS SHE WALKED TOWARDS HIM.
“YES”
SHE WAS DRESSED IN A SHORT COLLARED TEAL DRESS, HER BLONDE HAIR ACCENTED HER HEART SHAPED HEAD AS HER LIGHT EYES LOOKED HIM OVER.
“THERE ARE TWO AVAILABLE BEDROOMS UPSTAIRS. MY ROOM IS AT THE END OF THE HALL. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, KNIGHT DRAIGEN” PRINCESS FAWN TOLD HIM AS SHE SAUTÉED PAST HIM AND UP THE STAIRS.
THE THUNDER BARKED TO LIFE ONCE MORE AS THE WEATHER STAYED DARK AND GLOOMY. LIGHTNING CONTINUED FLASHING SHADOWS ACROSS THE WALLS AS THE RAIN FELL HARDER.
DRAIGEN WAITED A MOMENT, THEN STARTED UP THE STAIRS.
THE LONG HALLWAY WAS DARK AND QUIET. HE PASSED A CLOSED DOOR ON HIS LEFT. HE CONTINUED, PASSING A BATHROOM ON HIS RIGHT, ANOTHER CLOSED DOOR ON HIS LEFT, THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CLOSED DOOR, BUT LIGHT CAME FROM BEHIND IT.
FLEXING HIS JAW, HE PONDERED KNOCKING, WONDERING IF IT WAS SADIRA OR PRINCESS FAWN BEHIND THE DOOR. HE PLACED HIS HAND AGAINST THE DOOR. AT THE TOUCH A STRONG SURGE OF MAGICAL ENERGY RADIATED FROM THE DOOR AND INTO HIS HAND.
THE SOUND OF THUNDER CRASHED THRU HIS INTENSE EXPERIENCE AS HE REMOVED HIS HAND FROM THE DOOR. IT WAS DEFINITELY A DRAGON BEHIND THE DOOR. SADIRA. WHATEVER SHE WAS DOING, HER CHI WAS SENDING WAVES OF POWERFUL MAGICAL ENERGY. IT ODDLY FELT FAMILIAR, BUT HE MOSTLY FELT OVERWHELMED AND IN AWE.
HE TOOK A STEP BACK. WHATEVER IT WAS THAT PULLED HIM TO HER, HE WASN’T ABOUT TO INTRUDE ON HER. NOT WHEN HE HAD ONLY NOW JUST MEET HER. BUT HE KNEW FOR CERTAIN HE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER.
HE TURNED AND CONTINUED DOWN THE HALL, FINDING ONE OF THE UNOCCUPIED ROOMS AND CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.
---

SADIRA LOOKED AT HER BEDROOM DOOR. DRAIGEN HAD BUT SECONDS AGO RESTED AGAINST IT, AND TOUCHED HER CHI. AS SHE SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER HUGE BED, SHE COULD FEEL HIS POWER, HIS SMELL… SADNESS HAD HIT HER WHEN HE HAD WALKED AWAY. SUCH AN UNUSUAL URGE RAN THREW HER AS SHE THOUGHT OF HIM. SOMETHING ABOUT DRAIGEN PULLED HER NUMBLY TO HIM. AND HER SPIRIT SEEMED TO HAPPILY WANT TO DANCE WITH HIS.
----------
AS THE SUN ROSE, THE STORM OF THE NIGHT HAD PASSED, LEAVING THE WATER DROPS TO LEAVE THE TREES AND LEAFS ONE DROP AT A TIME, MAKING THE PUDDLES REFLECT THE BRIGHT SUN LIGHT.
DRAIGEN STOOD IN FRONT OF THE LARGE OAK TREE THAT SHADOWED THE BACKYARD. HE LOOKED DASHING IN HIS WHITE UNIFORM, MORE HANDSOME THEN SADIRA CARED TO ADMIT. SHE WATCHED HIM HIDDEN IN THE BRUSHES OF THE YARD AS HE WAITED PATIENTLY AFTER HER AND PRINCESS FAWN.
SHE HEARD PRINCESS FAWN EXIT THE HOUSE AND SAW HER COMING TOWARDS HER AND DRAIGEN. AS SHE PASSED HER, SADIRA STARTED BEHIND HER.
DRAIGEN SAW THE PRINCESS MAKING HER WAY TO HIM AND BOWED AS SHE REACHED HIM.
“PRINCESS”
“KNIGHT DRAIGEN” SHE ACKNOWLEDGED. “I AM READY TO LEAVE” FAWN TOLD HIM. SHE HAD CHOSEN A RADIANT LIGHT PURPLE DRESS AS COMFORT.
“AND SADIRA?” DRAIGEN ASKED. FAWN ARCHED A BROW AT HIM.
“I AM ALSO READY”
DRAIGEN LOOKED DOWN AND SAW SADIRA WALK AROUND FROM THE PRINCESS’S DRESS. “I’M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT” SHE SAID.
DRAIGEN COULDN’T KEEP FROM SMILING AT HER AS THE TINY DRAGON WADDLED TOWARDS THE TREE.
HE RAISED HIS RIGHT HAND AND THE PORTAL STARTED TO MATERIALIZE. DRAIGEN MOTIONED FOR THE LADIES TO GO THROUGH THE MIRAGE OF A DOOR AND HE QUICKLY FOLLOWED.
----------

Cool. Dragons in love. Is Fawn going to find her prince as well?

THERE WAS AN AUDIENCE WAITING FOR THEM IN THE THRONE ROOM. QUEEN FAE, THE KNIGHTS AND THE REST OF THE CASTLE’S COUNCIL AND OTHER HIGH RANKING OFFICERS STOOD IN SILENCE PATIENTLY AWAITING THEM.
DRAIGEN KNEELED JUSTLY IN FRONT OF THE QUEEN. SHE NODDED HER APPROVAL, HE THEN STOOD AND TOOK HIS PLACE NEXT TO BANE A FELLOW DRAGON KNIGHT.
PRINCESS FAWN SMILED AND QUICKLY MADE HER WAY TO HER MOTHER, EMBRACING HER. “I’VE MISSED YOU MOTHER”
QUEEN FAE RETURNED HER DAUGHTERS AFFECTIONS HAPPILY. “AS I HAVE YOU”
THE QUEEN’S ATTENTION THEN TURNED TO THE TINY DRAGON THAT BOWED BEFORE HER. HER EYES TURNED AN ICE OF A BLUE COLOR. CLEARLY THE QUEEN WASN’T PLEASED IN SEEING THE PETITE DRAGON.
HUSHED WHISPERS COULD BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE GREAT HALL. BEING IN YOUR DRAGON FORM INSIDE THE CASTLE WAS SACREDLY FORBIDDEN.
DRAIGEN FROWNED AT SADIRA, WONDERING WHY SHE HADN’T CHANGED.
“SADIRA, ALREADY YOU HAVE DISRESPECTED ME AND YOU HAVE YET JUST RETURNED” THE QUEEN STARTED AS SHE SAT BACK INTO THE THRONE.
“I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE MY QUEEN. BEING THAT I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUED SATCHEL, ME TRANSFORMING WOULD HAVE BEEN OF GREATER DISRESPECT TO YOU AND THE COURT YOUR MAJESTY” SADIRA TOLD HER AS SHE STILL BOWED, NEVER LOOKING UP FROM THE FLOOR.
LOUDER WHISPERS ECHOED IN THE HALL. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON EACH OF THE COURTS ELDERS, SOLDIERS AND GUESTS TONGUES, ITCHED TO COME FORWARD. QUEEN FAE FLEXED HER JAW IN ANNOYANCE. SHE STOOD QUICKLY AND SUMMONED TWO GUARDS.
“RETURN HER SATCHEL” SHE ORDERED. THE GUARDS RUSHED OUT.
QUEEN FAE HAD TAKEN HER SATCHEL? WHY? DRAIGEN THOUGHT. HE HAD NEVER SEEN NOR KNOWN THE QUEEN TO BE AN UNFAIR JUDGE. HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE’S SATCHEL BEING TAKEN AWAY. A SATCHEL WAS ASSIGNED AS SOON AS YOU TOOK YOUR FIRST BREATH IN FEY.
WITHIN MINUTES THE TWO GUARDS QUICKLY RETURNED WITH A SMALL MAGICAL TRUNK. THEY HELD ON TIGHTLY TO IT AS IT MOVED AND GLOWED, OVERFLOWING WITH MAGICAL ENERGY.
SURPRISED GASPS AND WORDS WERE EXCHANGED AMONG THE COURT MEMBERS.
THE TRUCK WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF SADIRA. THE TRUCK, SLIGHTLY BIGGER THEN HER, SHE STEPPED CLOSER TO IT AS EVERYONE STOOD AND WATCHED ON QUIETLY.
OF COURSE THE QUEEN WOULD MAKE HER CHANGE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, WANTING TO KNOW THEIR REACTIONS, SADIRA HAD NO DOUBT.
SHE BLEW GENTLY ON THE BOX AND IT OPENED SLOWLY, LETTING SWIRLS OF BLUES, GREENS, SILVERS AND GOLD OF MAGIC ESCAPE THE CONFINES OF THE CHEST AND WRAPPED AROUND SADIRA.
SHE THEN STOOD AND LOOKED UP AT QUEEN FAE. THE COLD STARE THE QUEEN HELD FOR HER ONLY SEEMED TO INTENSIFY.
DRAIGEN LOOKED AT SADIRA IN AWE. SHE HAD LONG VERY LIGHT BLUE HAIR, EMERALD GREEN EYES WITH CHERRY LIPS AND CREAMY WHITE SKIN. SHE WAS BREATH TAKING AS SHE STOOD IN A PLAIN WHITE DRESS THAT REACHED THE FLOOR.
SADIRA THEN BOWED AND KNEELED PROPERLY TO THE QUEEN.
“ESCORT HER TO MY PRIVATE STUDY” THE QUEEN INSTRUCTED.
THE GUARDS STEPPED FORWARD AS SADIRA STOOD AND STARTED TOWARDS THE EXIT.
--------

Awww poor Sadira. I hope she is not in trouble.

AS THE GREAT HALL’S GUESTS DISPERSED, BANE TURNED TO THE ELDEST OF THE FOUR COURT DRAGON KNIGHTS, KORVIN.
KORVIN WAS THE OLDEST OF THE FOUR. HE WAS THE QUEEN’S MOST TRUSTED. HE STOOD AT 6’1, MUSCULAR BUILT, LONG DARK ALMOST BLACK, BROWN HAIR THAT REACHED THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK, WHICH HE ALWAYS KEPT IN A LOOSE PONYTAIL. WITH HAZEL GREEN EYES, AND A SCAR BY HIS LEFT EYE, THE SET OF SOMEONE THAT HAD SEEN MANY WARS WAS PLAIN ON HIS FACE. KORVIN WAS VERY WELL KNOWN.
“WHO IS SHE?” BANE ASKED HIM.
BANE WAS ALMOST AS TALL AS DRAIGEN. AT 25YRS OLD, HE WAS THE QUEEN’S MOST TACTICAL FIGHTER. HE HAD A MUSCULAR BUILT, SHORT BROWN HAIR WITH DARK BLUE EYES. HE WAS QUITE ATTRACTIVE AND ALMOST AS POPULAR WITH THE LADIES AS DRAIGEN.
DRAIGEN STOOD NEXT TO HIM, LOOKING AT KORVIN WITH THE SAME QUESTION POSTED ON HIS FACE.
KORVIN SIGHED. “IF SHE IS WHO I BELIEVE SHE IS, I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL YOU, NOR DISCUSS IT, AND NEITHER WILL ANY OF YOU.” HE SAID, THEN GAVE THEM A SYMPATHETIC LOOK AND WALKED AWAY.
“QUEEN FAE DIDN’T SEEM PLEASE TO SEE HER AT ALL” GAWAIN STATED. HE WAS THE QUEEN’S MOST MINDFUL WARRIOR. HE HAD A MUSCULAR BUILT, MID-LENGTH DIRTY BLONDE HAIR WITH BLUE EYES.
“TRUE, AND THE REMOVAL OF HER SATCHEL? I’VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT” BANE WHISPERED.
“I WONDER WHY THE QUEEN ORDERED ME TO BRING HER BACK WITH PRINCESS FAWN” DRAIGEN SAID.
“IF SHE IS AN ENEMY, AND FROM OUR QUEEN’S REACTION TO HER, SHE SEEMS TO BE, WHY ISN’T A COURT SETTLEMENT? OR BANISHED OR SENTENCED TO DEATH LIKE ALL OTHERS?” GAWAIN ASKED.
“MAYBE SHE ISN’T AN ENEMY OF THE KINGDOM, BUT ONLY AN ENEMY TO OUR QUEEN?” BANE SAID, GAINING PUZZLED LOOKS FROM THE TWO.
“DID I NOT TELL YOU NOT TO DISCUSS THE WOMAN?” KORVIN INTERRUPTED. “JUST LEAVE IT ALONE”
