Chapter seven

Amelia

Few days had passed since my parents informed me of the decree passed by the dragon king. It was finally the day that we were supposed to go to the palace.

My mother had been crying since early that morning. She was inconsolable. Even my father had gotten upset be aise of how much she was crying. He had told her that I was just going for a competition and not to die.

After my parents had told me of the decree, I wasn't in the least bit interested, but the decree wasn't one that we could disobey, because galoure to do so could result to the killing of the entire family.

I for one was excited to go. I felt it was a chance for me to explore life outside my town and also to meet and learn more about the dragon shifters. My parents also wanted me to go because they felt that it would be good for me to make acquintances.

They weren't bothering me to win the competition and I also wasn't really in yeresyed in it. They just wanted me to go there and return home safe
