Chapter 1 - Captured

LUNA:

I woke up to the smell of burnt wood. Staring around the town, I knew the dragons had invaded our new village again.

I was running and slaying every single dragon creature that had invaded our lands. First, they had killed my father, who was the king; now they were abducting all the women of our kind.

The humans were beautiful, which was the main reason we never left the tower gate or went hunting. It was mostly the men who hunted and returned home to feed us.

How long were we going to continue running and hiding from these beastly creatures that could shapeshift into humans and dragons and fly?

Someone had to stop them, but who? I asked myself as I turned back, dressed like a male warrior—though I was not—as my other five sisters had all been taken, and I was the only surviving daughter and heiress to the Sunfield kingdom.

Burning with rage, I stopped, drew my sword, and faced the dragons.

I had been trained as a man because my father had no son, and my mother had lost hope after my birth and killed herself.

I had taken up the courage to train as the son my father never had, as those beastly dragons could not be killed easily—their skins were too strong.

I waited for the dragons to show up, knowing they had returned to this new hideout to kidnap the women they could perceive. All they wanted was to mate with human women, but how did those previously captured survive?

Obviously, it was not because they agreed to sleep with a dragon man and conceive a dragon baby. They were forced, and I could not imagine what those dragons did to the young, pretty women they had captured.

They did not capture the ugly ones, and of course our women were not ugly. But still, they were not satisfied with all the women they had captured; they kept returning to capture more of us.

The first day they came to our palace, they killed and burned down the guards. I was not home, as I had gone for my training, where I learned to fight like a man.

It seemed the rumors had reached their dragon king's ears that the human ruler had many pretty daughters, so he targeted my family.

All my five sisters were gone, and I knew there was no hope of their returning home.

The Sunfield palace had burned to ashes when I was only 15 years old.

Now I was 22 years old. I tied my bandana around my head and wore my warrior garment. Picking up my bow and arrows, I fixed them into their respective places on my manly garb, and I went out, holding my sword high to face the dragons again.

These dragons terrorized the whole town, feeling the humans were weaklings, and I could not even differentiate the dragons from our men—it was difficult, and that was how intruders invaded our lands, because the dragon men were also handsome.

Some were dark, while others were yellow, and their skins were enchanting and sparkling clean, like a shining glass surface.

I had trained to study the dragon men, and because I dressed manly, I had not been captured and taken away.

Our men fought well, but they were still no match for the dragons, who breathed fire. So whenever the dragons invaded, the men allowed them to take their daughters away without doing anything to stop them. But no! Enough of the cries.

"Stop there!" I commanded, and the two dragons turned to face me.

"Eh, mister! Get out of our way. We are here for the pretty women, not masculine men like you. Now move aside before I burn you to ashes."

"Hmm." My eyes darkened at the dragon man who spoke to me, as I had golden-eyes that burned with anger.

In a swift, sharp move, I somersaulted forward and sliced the dragon man by his throat, killing him instantly. He let out a shrill cry, but as his partner wanted to burn me alive while shocked, I sliced him too, killing them both and rescuing my people.

"Hurry! We have to leave this village. If the other dragons find out that these two did not return to their king, we will be in grave danger, with battalions of dragons chasing us!" I screamed, so all the people staring at me in shock would know.

"Thank you, sir, for saving our daughters. May the lands bless you and be in your favor."

I watched the elderly men sing praises, and I yelled, "This is no time for praises! Hurry up and let's leave."

We had been traveling since our lands were destroyed, yet these dragons would not give up on capturing us. They wanted to enslave our kind and deny us the free liberty of freedom.

We slept and woke up every day in fright, running from the flying creatures that could perceive our kind and flick out their tongues in a way that showed how delicious our women were to them.

I had no time to dress like the woman I was. Even though I was pretty, I wore my coverage, not wearing any bra underneath my shield to hide how big my bréasts were—as that was the first major target of the dragons, staring at the women's chest.

No one knew I was a woman, and I made no friends either.

I thought to stop the capturing of our people, and I thought of a solution: to kill their dragon king and queen. That way, it would send all the dragons away in fear of the humans. I decided to dispense with my disguise when another set of dragons came to capture our women again.

I thought to show them my bodily assets, as that was my weapon of mass destruction to eliminate all those silly dragons.

I was tall, sexy, curvaceous, and had a flat stomach with a big áss.

My buttọcks were also big—a natural, round one. But because I trained so hard, day and night, mastering the art of sword fighting, I had no time to show off my beauty as the last princess of the Sunfield kingdom.

But my mind was made up—unless we wanted to continue running.

After finding a nearby camp, the people were all joyous that they had a new dragon slayer to protect them. But I was not happy; I had to avenge my parents' loss, my sisters' abduction, and fight for the next unborn generation to have their freedom.

This was my plan, and as I knew it would, that same night some dragons returned to the new camp. They blew fire around us and burned down the tents surrounding us, so none of us could escape, and then they flew down.

They were all black dragons. They flew down and shapeshifted back into human form while my eyes glared at them.

I was still standing among our people, unafraid, as one of the dragon men walked up to meet us and stopped in front of me.

"Who among you killed our men?" a dragon man questioned, and the people were visibly shaking. I could feel their eyes staring at me; they were not ready to be burned to ashes.

"I did." A man stepped out, holding his sword, and the handsome black dragon man in my view narrowed his eyes at him and smirked, walking up to meet the man.

"You?" He laughed scornfully and walked around the man, who was visibly shaking.

"I doubt you're the one. Do you actually think you can lie to us? For the last time, who beheaded our men? You can see I came here with my sword. The same treatment given to us will be given to you all if you do not bring out the warrior who killed our guards sent here."

"I did." I finally spoke, but this time I did not try to cover up my voice as a woman, and I saw the dragon man turn to face me.

"You." He strode back to meet me and sniffed around me, as if he could perceive my scent.

"I knew you were a woman hiding in disguise. How interesting." He smirked.
