Drayce smiled, it's because you had a connection to dragons since birth. It's part of the prophecy. It is said that you have part of the dragon queen soul tied to your own.
WHAT? How is that possible?
“How is any of this possible Aykiz?” Drayce, Waving his hand around gesturing to the world around us. While we talked, we climbed the rest of the way up to the falls. Each of us helping the other. We reached the top of the boulder, I spun around looking all around me, I stopped to look at Dryace. Shaking my head, confused on all of this.
“Wow this seems all surreal. So, you are the son of said God of Darkness?
With a smile on his face Drayce replied, ‘’Yes, dear sister, that would make me one of your brothers, the prince of Darkness.
‘One of my brothers, how many do I have?’
‘You have 3 brothers including me. You are our only sister.”
What are their names?
Our oldest brother and heir to the throne is Xaxis, then there is Bhaltair who is the commander of our army, then me and then you.
“What about my mom? Well, my aunt?
It is complicated, Aykiz. Dryace blew out a breath. I think we should have this conversation another time Aykiz when there are less ears around and we can talk to your mom.
“Less ears around? We are in the forest Drayce. I'm sure the rabbits and squirrels are not going to tell on us.”
Drayce looks at me very seriously, looking around and says we can never be too careful.
Right! Well, I'll go along with it. Taking a deep breath, I agreed. I did not want anyone thinking I was crazy and locking me up.
I stopped and looked around and realized we were close to the falls. You could hear it in the distance. Zedkeil, Kyique and Ezra were standing by waiting for us to catch up. As we got closer Zedkiel grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
“So, what were you and Mr. Hottie talking about? Looking back behind us, Drayce, Kyique, and Ezra were in a deep heated discussion. Zedkeil turned around to notice where I was looking.
“This all seems crazy Zedkiel, me a princess, a savior to Faire?”
“Yes, it sounds crazy Aykiz, but think about it this way, you get so many unanswered questions, finally answered, like who is your dad?” Confirmed Z.
Looking back at the guys, “I wonder what they are arguing about?
“I don’t know honey, but we should get to the falls first huh” let them have their squabble. We reached the falls first, “Z look pointing towards the falls, there’s a rainbow through the falls.
That’s beautiful, Z turned to look at me, want to race Aykiz?’ ’Wiggling his eyebrows, Z took off running and jumped into the falls before, I said yes. Z came up for air with a scream of, ‘’oh my god Aykiz it's freezing.
laughing I got into the pool of the coldest water ever. It balanced things out, it was scorching hot out and a dip in freezing water was refreshing, once you got used to it. Taking a deep breath and breathing in the fresh air, I started looking around.
It is so beautiful, there's foliage all around with multiple-colored flowers climbing the falls. Mist floating around from how hot it was out. I went under the water, when I came up the guys were standing around watching us. I could tell they were tense and were watching intently around. After a long debate between them, Drayce tells us it will be dark soon and we shouldn't stay too long. We all agreed we would leave soon. Ezra pushed Kyique in the pool of water, soon after Ezra and Drayce jumped in splashing and goofing off.
After swimming for a while, I climbed up on the bank finding a rock to sit on. I sat there on the rock soaking up the raze of the sun feeling the heat soak into my body. I watched the guys goofing off and doing tricks for a little bit, I decided to lay down gazing up at the canopy watching the birds and admiring the flowers. It's so mesmerizing here and peaceful, the calming energy of this place grounds you in a way of forgetting all the stress.
I must have fallen asleep, because I wake up in my dream world aka the Fae world and my dragon is there, instead of being on the rock I'm under the tree. I sit up under the tree and watch as Alistar laid down beside the tree, I wonder if he can hear me.
“I can hear you child” Alistar replied
“Oh, you can read my thoughts?”
“yes” I can hear your thoughts and feel what you are feeling. You are an anxious little one.”
“That is an understatement. How is this real? How am I the dark princess, why me?
“The queen dragon chose you, that makes you a very important Princess.
