Redemption of The Dragon Prince 054: Snakes and Sirens
Or so I thought. It seems that Atremi had a plan for this as well. The tricky drake pulls a strange box out of his pocket, a metallic looking device that reminds me a bit too much of something my brother Tritus would have hidden up a sleeve or stuffed in a pocket. Twisting the mechanism, he throws it in the clearing not far from Orion’s pod.“Change back, all of you,” Atremi growls, “In a few moments that’s going to go off and trust me, you’ll want to be as far away from that,” he points at the box, “as possible.”A pod takes at least two full-grown men to move in human form to lift it up onto a carrying device. But other than Atremi, there isn’t another available make and that bastard isn’t waiting around to help. As Leon, I’m strong, but not strong enough to lift a full grown drake trapped in a box of fluid. Not seeing any other choice, I keep my current dragon form as Atremi retreats to the treeline bordering the water, his body shrinking and shifting as he moves. By his side, hi
Redemption of The Dragon Prince 053: Unexpected Reunions
[Primus] They say those who know us the best can cut us the deepest. Once, Atremi Glaveheart was one of my only friends in the palace. My mother was distant, running affairs in the Celestial Kingdom while my father spent her dowry and procured new mistresses. I was close to my clutchmate, Ona, but she was off on official business most of the time. As the male heir, it was my responsibility to stay close to home, to learn from my father, and to make connections that would serve me during my reign. All I ended up learning from King Maximus is how much of a disappointment I was. Too soft, too kind, not ruthless like my younger brother Segundus. But I was the first hatched male, and so, the duty fell to me to take his place once he was gone. So in an attempt to make me a “real king,” my father brought in a special “tutor.” And because he wanted someone fierce enough to force me to be a beast, he selected an ambitious general from the southern front, an air drake by the name of Atremi
Redemption of The Dragon Prince 052: Burning Betrayal
[Ursa] With a strong push, Kora pushed her entire family from the ledge of our tower window. It all happened so fast, I barely had a moment to catch my breath. “Catch, Primus,” she laughs as arms outspread. She falls backward after her husband, shifting into her bestial form to writhe in the air like a snake in the sand. Without reservation, I jumped out after them both, but I could only catch one of them within my flame-edged talons, and Kora, despite her weak wings, was still safer than her husband and eggs trapped within a prison of metal and glass. With a strong gust of wind, I know that Primus has shifted as well, his powerful wings creating an upcurrent as he pulls the surrounding air to support his incredible weight. As I hover nearby, I watch our uncle grasp my sister-in-law with one of his enormous hands. Thankfully, he’s strong and large, with the might of an earth drake, infused with the true power of the stars–the perfect blending of both his legacies. Otherwise, he’d h
Redemption of The Dragon Prince 051: Flight
[Primus] Nobody stops me as I leap out the window, spiraling down from the tall tower until I find the window of the hallway leading to the Technician’s lab. It is a clear day, the sky is blue, and the sea is the perfect shade of teal, the surface as glassy as a mirror and calm. As the wind picks up the edges of my wings, I see the sail of a tall ship as it heads down the wide, deep river. Perfect weather to get my family to safety. Kora and Ursa are busy in the corner pulling Orion's stabilization pod from an interconnected mess of wires when I swoop through the back window. Ursa looks up briefly as my foot touches the ground, but then immediately returns to her job, slowly removing Kora’s two surviving eggs from the incubator and placing them in metal cases with long straps. “Good, you’re back,” Kora pulls one last cable, and the viewing window to the pod goes black, casting Orion’s face in deep shadow. “Hurry, the ship is readying to set sail. We need to be gone before sunset t
Redemption of The Dragon Prince 050: Eleanora's Folly
[Primus]At least thirty armed drakes walk towards me. The ones in the back are holding their crossbows aimed at my throat, their eyes glowing icy blue with menace. Air drake soldiers are an elite group of warriors trained from the time they are hatched to be efficient assassins. They are notorious for their cold cruelty and are often hired by nobles and wealthy merchants for espionage and security. They are mercenaries of the sky with the ability to hear any secret carried on the wind. Eleanora was born air dragon royalty, her father’s duchy having one of the largest concentrations of air dragons on the planet. It was one of the reasons my brother pushed for an alliance with them. Gain their trust, their loyalty, and it’s unbreakable. When a legion of air drakes swear their fealty to a master, it is life long and their loyalty is legendary. Most of the false queen’s guards have been with her since the moment she hatched, most of them barely older than hatchlings themselves. By the
Redemption of The Dragon Prince 049: Beg Me
Eleanora's excitement dances in her eyes as her irises swirl in shades of blue and bright silver. She thinks she's won, that she's just been handed everything she has desired. In her mind, her path to power has been secured, her long wait over, and her torture finally ended. "Do you swear it?” Eleanora’s eyes flash a bright silver. “Do you swear on your name and honor that you will do everything I ask of you if I release your family?” "I do swear," I declare resolutely, confirming my pledge in a strong, deep voice that falls around us like heavy stones in an otherwise silent room. "If you free my family, leave them alone, remove all guards from watching them, I'll do whatever it is that the Queen of Luxandra asks of me." If I were any other drake, as soon as I got what I wanted, I'd simply go back on my word, but Eleanora knows how much my honor means to me. I am not just any noble–I’m a dragon prince, and the true heir of the Luxandrian throne. Because of that honor, like many n
