I got up for the second time today, but so far I was being left alone by the Princess. I sat in the library reading some books on Werewolves. As I read, I heard some nobles talking about what they've heard from others, "Did you hear? Staggeria has declared war on Sturith." someone whispered. "I heard a little, is that wy more dragons have been coming here?" the second person asked. "I think so." the first person replied. "At this rate Vaton will be isolated and at risk for attacks, as with war, comes thieves, and barbarians." the first person continued. "Yeah, I hope that it doesn't come down to us having to lock down the kingdom, some of my family is in Staggeria..." the second person said. "I hope not I would go mad if I knew that my family wasn't anywhere safe." the first person replied.

I sighed heavily, as I continued to read, I heard one of the Prince's voices. Panic set in, 'They always made me nervous, more so than Princess Starla, at least with her the worst you'd get is a whine, but with the eldest, he could fight and he was much bigger than me. The youngest, was like a Tyrant in training, he'd be the downfall of the kingdom honestly it'd be a downfall if any of the royal children became king or queen.' I thought to myself. I hid myself carefully putting the book away, I slipped through one of the service tunnels and got into the kitchens, from here I walked around the many corridors.

As I walked down the fifth one I found myself in the dragon suite, one of the new dragons, a tall bulky brown bronze dragon looked at me, Their eyes were a deep red color. They looked tired and worried. "Hello." I said. "Hello young one." they replied. "Worryiome rumors?" I asked. "Mhmm." they rumbled. "Hopefully it will be okay." I replied with a small smile. "Aye." they replied. "Carlisa?" I heard a familiar voice. Turning around it was King Darius, and King Byron. "Your highnesses." I said with a small curtsy. "Now, now..up, up let's talk." he said cheerfully. "Uh-y-yes sire." I said quickly. "No need to be frightened dear." he said calmly. Though he wore a smile he looked worried and tired. 'So many people always looking worried or tired or both.' I thought sadly. "Shall we go to the thrownroom? I have gathered a few other young people." he said. "Yes sire." I replied. 'Why me? what is going on?' I wondered to myself. I looked up at King Byron, he gave me a reassuring look, a sort of hopeful look in his eyes.
In the land of Aetoran, a world full of magic and dragons and other mythological creatures. Things have been relatively peaceful, aside from rumors of a war going on in the kingdom of Staggeria of the Staggerian Dynasty. They were fighting some people from the next kingdom over called Sturith Kingdom. Many of the dragons come from Staggeria, but with the war they didn't want to get caught up in it. Their royal family befriended King Darius and they formed a bond. This allows those who bond with the dragon to take on some of their attributes and strengthens said dragon and person, but it must be a mutual agreement, if not then it doesn't work.
With this war threatening the peace, as other kingdoms formed alliances, it would isolate Vaton Empire. So with this they were all prepared for this war but also tried to see if they could find a peaceful solution. Darius's children were not suited for this, one was spoiled and wanted nothing more than to be told their pretty and stuff. while they youngest just wanted to be a tyrant having his way and the oldest wanted war. Darius didn't see this, as they hid it well, but King Byron, and his children and their councilors could see this.
He's tried to warn him gently but it hasn't worked. Now when it's about time for the bonding ceremony they will have to prove themselves worthy though this years bonding ceremony will be different, King Byron was able to get King Darius to change some things, allowing others to bond with a dragon, a young servant girl included. Whatever happens will determine the future of all of their lives. Read on.
Please don't steal my story and I hope that you all enjoy!^^
