Damn shitty old hag and her fucked up idea. No way in fucking hell was I going through with that. I kicked a rock hard enough for it go far before going to the castle. This was just a terrible day and I was not in the mood for anything at all. So I walked to my room avoiding all of them slamming the door behind me. Her idea was fucking stupid. I yelled and kicked one of my chairs.
She thinks she just can tell me what to do and think she knows what I want. I don't want that! I don't want a god damn Queen to rule at my side I would do very fine on my own. Its only a few months before my 19th birthday. Then I'll be king. Why do this now? I don't need her setting me up with random princesses from the neighboring tribes. She doesn't even know yet. That I don't prefer females. Sure their nice and attractive but I like guys more, males not girls. Or prissy princesses. If she tries to set me up at least do it correctly and not insult me and the girl at the same time.
I plopped on my bed and clenched my fists. Who needs a Queen or King by my side. Who needs love? Not me. I'd rather venture through the world exploring and going through danger, hell and back type shit and live through it all. Not cooped up here telling these lowlife what to do. I want something more interesting. Not. This.
I haven't wanted or needed love since fucking deku. He broke up with me. Left me for some other guy with fucking ass hat hair. I should thank him for showing me how pointless love is. How fucking stupid and idiotic it is. How it can mess you up in the most heinous way. God. That was a month ago get over it, I scolded myself at everything. It was all messed up. I'm fucking 18 for fucks sake.
I sat up throwing a pillow into the closet. I needed to go somewhere clear my mind, just something. I got up going to my closet throwing my cape over my bare shoulders setting my necklaces on my neck and putting on my upper arm sleeves. I walked out grabbing my knife putting it in my pocket. Prepared.
Walking down the hall to the exit I passed a maid. "Ba- prince bakugo your mother asks for your presence in the main hall." of course she did.
"Tell her I'm going somewhere to clear my mind. And that I won't be back for a while a day or hours in the least." I said walking past her.
"But-" I didn't let her finish before slamming the door behind me to walk out of the castle. I was having a decent day before that old hag brought that topic up and decided something like that without me.
Walking through the village I spotted a horse, perfect. I asked the rider for the horse offering a sack of coins. He instantly obliged giving me the horse for the money. I saddled up and rode out. Out of the village and through the woods towards any direction I wanted. I didn't slow down until I was fully alone enjoying the scenery and listening to the sounds of nature. It calmed me sometimes if I really concentrated. I breathed in and out smelling the scents of nature. And ... A fire? I opened my eyes and looked around to see smoke coming from the left. I urged the horse to go that way.
A tree was on fire. Not bad but enough to where it smoked. How in the hell did this happen. I know damn well sure this just doesn't happen for no reason especially in these woods. Someone caused this. I scoffed before making the horse head in a different direction. This was not clearing my mind I need peace. Not fire.
I kept the horse going for a few hours before it stopped at a water source. I decided to stretch my legs and sit by the water. This was helping but it wouldn't change the fact that I hated loathed and all other bad feeling about her idea. I leaned back laying down in the dry grass. The breeze was nice to say the least. Not a single cloud in the sky. Almost dark though but right now I just wanted to relax some more.
Closing my eyes I pictured myself dashing through battle. Fighting enemy's, stealing riches, exploring. All of it was amazing the places and danger. I lived for it. I've always wanted that. Not that damn tribe. Why couldn't my father have two children. To pass the burden onto someone else not me. But no they only wanted one child. Me. I turned onto my side and closed my eyes tighter. No angry thoughts only happy.
Listening to the sound of the wind moving the trees, the waves of the water and movement of the grass I drifted off. Asleep and comfortable.
~°~
When I came to I grumbled. Sleeping on the ground was not comfortable after a few minutes. I rubbed my eyes turning on my back and opened my eyes. To meet face to face with a red monster.
I instantly bolted up and grabbed for my sword. This was no ordinary monster. It was a dragon. A big one too. I've only heard of them but I didn't realize they would be way out here and not in there natural territory. I looked around for the horse and it was gone. Just great, this big sack of scales scared it off. Now its asking for it.
At the sight of my blade the dragon seemed to back off. Lowering its head a bit. Not a chance I was not falling for that surrender-but-when-you-get-close-i-kill-you-trick. Nope not me. I'm gonna kill it with victory. Getting into my stance the dragon did nothing.
"Fight me or die even quicker!" I yelled raising my sword. The dragon growled and got into a stance. He turned his head towards some direction in the forest and tried to nudge me in a different direction.
"What the fuck are you doing!" maybe it was trying to distract me.
Out of nowhere another fucking dragon came out and pounced at the red dragon. It was much bigger and much more powerful. It was green with black and green spiked trailing form its head to its tail. Claws the size of a human and eyes piercingly fierce yellow with black slits. It started fighting the red one. The red one reacted fighting back as well as best he could but it was obvious he would lose.
He started biting and they slashed with their claws and the green one even started breathing fire.
I felt a grin spread across my face. Finally, a worthy fighting opponent. I charged taking out my sword raising it high.
"DIEEEEEEEEEEE!!" I yelled jumping onto the green ones back slashing down stabbing its back. I pushed down making a gap form in its back. Blood splurted out staining my boots. I got even more angry and jumped down and began to stab his legs without mercy.
The other dragon joined in slashing the dragons face and neck. I frowned. And let go of my sword outstretching my hands.
I blasted him breaking the rule.
People of high status and blood of high ancestors held great power. Powers. Pa has one. Ma has one. I do too. But for the person to not go greedy with power and rule. He must never use it till he has claimed his title. It is sacred rule.
Fuck it. I laughed, laughed so maniacally blasting more and more and only stopping when I felt stress in my arms. A side effect? Maybe. The dragon roared back and slashing trying to hit me but it wasn't enough and soon I was standing over it on its face. He was lying their out of energy and in my control. Before I could take my sword and stabbed it it used its wings and flew away.
I grinned. Then remembered the other dragon. I turned and looked at it.
It let out a small whimper like I was gonna kill it next and I could easily. From a thing so big I was shocked to hear a sound so small, and helpless. I raised my sword again and the dragon with its eyes looked into mine. They were bright red, not dark crimson like my own. His were like rubies. And right now they were sad, but expecting, expecting me to kill it. But looking into its eyes I couldn't.
I lowered my sword and his head turned towards me.
"I spare you because you fought back and tried to warn me. You fought harder than my strongest knights. You did good." I said crossing my arms in his direction.
His mouth seemed to curve and tilt up, a smile. It was smiling at me. . . weird. But something happened.
Smoke billowed from his body, black red and white. All directions as I coughed and hacked for air. In the mess of this smoke the dragon shrunk and turned into something else. It was completely unbelievable.
"Thank you human for saving my life. I am in your debt."
