Chapter 1

Don't hurt them.

Mommy?

Don't hurt them...

The blonde blinked a few times and stretched her arms while she yawned. Grabbing the blanket close to her body she curled once more and sighed happily.

"NINA!!!" She tensed then growled; covering her ears. "Nina! WAKE UP!!" She grunted when her older sister, Anna, shook her body. "Father wouldn't like it if you missed your morning training!"

"Buu--ba." Nina muttered.

Anna stilled in confusion and Nina smiled before her sister realized that it was just her trying to stop her from shaking her. "Oh!" Anna was frustrated, "You always do this! If father sees you still in bed when training starts I don't think I'll help you again!" Anna stormed off.

Nina opened her bright blue eyes and sighed. She stared at the wall that was a distance away. She may have royal blood in her but that didn't stop her father from treating her like a common soldier. She slowly sat up and flapped her wings to straighten her white feathers, which weren't cooperating.

She scratched her head and moaned. This was going to be the longest day of her life... And it won't be her last.

Nina commanded another spell and froze a small monster in place. She really didn't like freezing little helpless monsters or burning them...blowing them away was a no-no either. She looked up to the man who was standing behind a protection screen. He gave her a curt nod and she gave him a worried smile. He left.

She sighed and slowly conjured a gentle flame on her fingertips. She walked over to the little monster and started melting the ice away. Once the monster's limbs were free, Nina moved away and left the small enclosed training ground.

Anna was sitting on her bed by the time she reached her room and Nina sighed, "What is it?" Anna just shook her head telling her that she was there out of boredom. Nina let out a second sigh and walked to her bathroom. She was taking a quick shower when an alarm went off. Without thinking, Nina rushed out of the shower and put her clothes on. Anna was trying to stop her but she was too fast.

When Nina arrived at the scene, most of the soldiers had circled around the intruder. Nina pushed the soldiers away and she saw a dragon baring its fangs at the long spears that were pointed at it. Nina raised her hand and everyone moved back a few steps but the spears were still directed at the little monster.

The dragon turned its attention to Nina and closed its jaws. Its eyes were curiously staring at the woman who had knelt down with a smile on her face. She pulled out her hand and beckoned it to come close. The dragon stayed put.

"What are you doing?" Nina jumped and turned to look at her father who was a distance opposite of her. His face was taut and undeniably expressing his disappointment. "That monster is a dragon! Dispose of it!"

Nina pulled her hand back and stood up slowly, "It's still a Kid." She looked at her father, "Dragons are rare. This one could be a blessing. We could train it to be on our side."

Her father stared at her; his features did not lose its harshness. There was a short silence that seemed to pierce the air with increased tension until her father turned and left. Nina waited until he disappeared before she knelt down again and once more beckoned the baby dragon to her.

The little monster tilted its head to one side. It took a small step. It tilted its head to the other side and hopped another step. Nina squinted her eyes as she smiled and let out a soft whisper, 'come on.' The little black dragon took baby steps to her hand and it sniffed her fingers. The spears were more focused on the monster now than before but it ignored the glinting blades. The little dragon slid its tongue out and licked Nina's fingers once then licked some more before it nudged her hand on its head, asking her to stroke it.

"Well now..." The spears were lowered when she nodded her head to the soldiers who continued to stare at her with wide eyes and weird stares. She ignored them and looked back at the new found pet, "What should I do?"

"First," She turned her head enough to see her sister with a coat in her hands, "You should wear something decent."

Nina looked down and a heavy weight suddenly burdened her when she realized a white translucent robe was not a good combination with a wet body.

The Kid continued to lap its tongue into the bowl of milk that Anna had prepared especially for it. Nina was brushing her short hair while looking through the only book that she could get her servants to search for on dragons.

"It also says here it's good to add the milk with honey if its not dragon's nectar." Nina put the brush down and picked the book up as she walked over to them. Anna looked at her and waited for more instructions after adding an overflowing spoonful of honey. "It doesn't eat anything until it's a week old." Nina looked at the little dragon that continued to lick the milk. She blushed, "It's so cute."

Anna waved her hand in front of her sister's face, "Focus. Father's angry because you wouldn't kill the dragon and now that you've taken it in as a pet he's already making plans of training it for battle." She shook her head, "He also said about getting our scientists to extract a little of its DNA hoping to genetically modify the genes into clones."

Nina looked at her with a questioning look on her face, "And you know this how?"

Anna realized she said too much and she turned her attention to the dragon, "What's its name? Is it a girl or a boy?"

Nina knew that this was a tactic that Anna used to change the topic. Usually she'd just ignore this strategy and push her into telling what she knew but not at the moment because she had just realized she didn't know if it was male or female. She flipped through the contents and pages but found nothing on how to find out whether it was a girl or a boy.

"I don't know." Nina finally gave up after flipping through over five hundred pages. She stared at the Kid that had curled up next to one of her hands that had been on the table ever since it finished its meal, "But I still have to give it a name, huh?" Anna nodded.

Nina used her free hand to stroke its head and its ears twitched but it slept like nothing had touched it. "I think it looks like a boy."

Anna smacked a fist into her palm, "A long time ago there was a dragon here in Wyndia too. Mind you, this is ancient history and when I say ancient I meant really, really ancient." She continued after she got Nina's full attention, "There was a Wyndian princess who journeyed with a dragon and fought against the Goddess. There was also another story that said she went with him to battle against the world. And another one story was that the dragon came to rescue the Wyndian princess from a metal cage of heavy air where there was no sky! He saved her with his life!"

"What has this got to do with anything?" Nina interrupted when she knew her sister would continue to ramble.

Anna sniffed her nose as she rubbed it with her knuckles in an unwomanly fashion; she smiled, "It was the Legendary Kaiser dragon that was, written in all the ancient histories I've read, called Ryu."

"Ri... Ryu." Nina spoke softly and the little dragon let out a soft whimper. She smiled and lowered her head to whisper into its ear softly, "Your name is Ryu."
