Edith
We reach the edge of the forest very quickly. Knight Ballyan approaches me and tells me:
"It's time to let go of the horses, my princess."
"Okay," I answer, and Ballyan gives the order to the other knights.
We dismount from the horses, and the soldiers who have followed us take the horses' reins and, with a simple "Good Luck," took the road back to the castle.
We watch them walk away for a while, but when the dust raised by the horse's clattering of feet and drowns us causing us a cough, we decide to move on.
We begin to enter the forest, and the drop in temperature is quickly felt. The vegetation is dense. Gigantic trees with massive thick trunks and low and tall shrubs cover almost all the ground. Somewhere we find some flowers with huge blossoms. This is the first time I see such flowers. They have lovely bright colors and a delectable scent.
I gape for a moment about this incredible beauty of t

I remain frozen in my place while my heart starts hammering. I must inform the men immediately. Brian is closer to me, and I decide to tell him.I lean slightly towards him. "Brian," I whisper, wanting to get his attention first.He turns and looks at me. "What's up, princess. Why are you whispering?" he tells me with carelessness, and I want to bring him the plate I was holding on his head. But he is right. He doesn't know."Wild animals are here watching us. They may have surrounded us. Tell to Robert who is sitting near you. Everyone needs to be informed," I tell him, and he nods in agreement.From my seat, I watch the process as the information was transferred from one to another and how their behavior changed from the moment they learned.They left their plate on the ground and put his hand on the handle of the sword, ready for defense.When the information reaches Ballyan, he leaves his plate on the ground, and he carefully searches th

I feel beads of sweat run down my spine and collect in the dimple at the base of my waist."Did you feel that?" I ask the knights wanting to know their thoughts on what had just happened. Maybe there is some logical explanation. Perhaps it's a unique phenomenon in this magical forest that I don't know about.I wish to be."Yes," Brian answers."What is it?" I ask again."It was just o breath of air."I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips. "I'm not stupid, Brian. It wasn't just a breeze like all the others. Not a leaf was moved. How do you explain that?'The knight stops short and scratches the back of his neck."You notice that, don't you?" asks me."Of course I noticed. What is it? Why did it happen?"The other knights seem to have heard our conversation because they are approaching us."The truth is, we don't know what it might be. Various legends circulate in people's mouths, but it is difficult for me to believe all I hear." Ballyan informs me, and then I remember."Aida before I

Millions of years ago, planets were born after the Big Bang. Among them was the Earth that was to, in the long run, host life.But before that could happen, the planet had to go through a process of being able to support life. And for this purpose four elements, of incredible strength and power united to create something magnificent.Air, Water, Fire, and Earth.In the beginning, the planet's surface was fluid due to the liquid fire that was constantly flowing from the ongoing eruptions of the volcanoes. The lack of land and the poisonous gases of volcanoes currently hindered the development of any life form. The process was long and time-consuming.After several centuries, the Earth's surface cooled from the glaciers forming a solid crust. When the glaciers melted, the water flooded the planet.Millions of years passed until life was finally created to produce oxygen, thus changing the atmosphere's composition and making it sustainable. The first

Humans' Kingdom"Estella?""Yes, my highness?"Estella was sitting in a purple velvet chair with a high back, holding an open book in front of her and reading."Come, my majesty, to take pride in our daughter."His tone of voice contained a small dose of irony and a hefty amount of bitterness.Estella closed her book, got up from her chair, and left the book where she had been sitting. She approached the large window where King Lucius was standing and watching the princess training in archery in their castle's large garden.At a considerable distance from Princess Edith, a human model was made of wood and straw of her own inspiration, as she was got bored of the circular colored target. So, she asked, and they made this model for her, which had already been filled with arrows after so much practicing. Her technique was almost perfect in a relatively short time, as was her fencing too. The truth was that the archery was h

It's been a while that I see out of the corner of my eye my parents looking at me and talking to each other. I know they talk about me. I know that my father does not like me practicing weapons. He would prefer to sit all day on my soft feather mats and embroider or read a book from our library's endless collection.I have been doing all this for years. I'm tired of them now.I have grown up to waste my hours in so much inactivity and essentially useless activities for me. However, sometimes I have the desire for a bit of reading, and I do it. So simple.But this rarely happens. My heart and body are awake in explosive energy leading me to what it needs to get relief. That is my preoccupation with weapons and daily practice until the final drop. I have been dedicated to these for the last two years. After comparing my previous activities, I realized that the current ones give me more pleasure. I enjoy it to the fullest.I like that my body feels so

When my father saw me with my mouth open, and my eyes rolled, he just laughed softly without saying anything."Father, what…?" I start to say."Now that Edith has arrived, we can eat. I'm going to tell you to serve the food," my mother says and gets up from her chair. She approaches me, looking at me meaningfully. As she passes me, she gently pulls me with her, and I follow her. I understand that something is happening here, and I do not resist. We make some steps, and then she tells me. "I have spoken to your father. For you".I smile at her. "Okay," I answer. "Harry up with food because I'm starving," I tell her right after.My mother laughs softly. "Take your father and come to the dining room to sit. The food is coming too ".I make a change to my course, and I return to the small living room. I look at my father, who was absorbed in reading his book. I stare at him for a few moments, and as if he felt that someone was watching him, he r

Dragon's KingdomI feel the whole cave trembling from my father's voices. The ground beneath my feet trembles too. I imagine that everyone who is here now will also feel the earth shake like an earthquake. I look at them with their heads slightly bowed in front of their king, and I feel sorry for them. They are not obliged to endure my father's lousy mood every time.They have a human form like me. We stuck in this form when the gem was stolen, and we cannot return to our standard form—that of the dragons. Fortunately, the necklace is still hanging around our necks, even though its light has turned off.There are, of course, other dragons here who were lucky enough to be dragons when the gem was stolen. But they can no longer take the human form. The tragedy, in my opinion, is that all of us who are humans can understand what dragons are saying because we are dragons in essence. But dragons cannot understand us in human form. And here is the

Human's KingdomI always like to watch her as she eats. She enjoys her food every time. It devours it in only a few minutes.I look at her, and I do not believe that such a creature would radically change the facts of my life, my feelings, and in general of our whole existence, dragons and humans.We, humans and dragons have always been on opposing sides. Supposedly, we hate each other. It is our destination, our rule. And yet I, without wishing, go against this rule by adoring this creature.I remember I was fourteen years old when my nanny, with my parents' consent first, told me about her existence and took me to see Libelle for the first time. She explained to me that shortly after he had taken care of me, she found Libelle in the forest alone by not knowing where she was going and what she was doing. My nanny, Aida, seeing her so vulnerable and all alone, approached her gently, without frightening her, and finally realized that she coul
