Chapter 1
I'm trying my hardest to stay strong, but I don't know how much longer I can last. I'm doing this for my mothers sake, but I don't think I can make one more decision that will slowly break me. Mother and I've been taken from our home land when I was a baby by China's Black Queen, Zira. She wants to break me so that she can build me back up into someone crule and cold to her people, then gift me to her son, Trent, as his bride. I've held out for years, but I don't think I can take it anymore.
I seek comfort in my mother as I break down. "I can't do this anymore, but I don't have any choice. If I disobey her, she will hurt you. I can't stand the thought of you getting hurt because of me." As I pour ny heart out to my mother, I can see her heart breaking for me. She was also showing a choice of finality.
"Run away from here and don't look back. My job as your mother is to protect you. I can't protect you from in the cell, but you can help me protect you by doing as I say. Now run! Do not come back here for anything. Even me."
I didn't want to believe what I was hearing. My mother was telling me to leave her behind. Could I do it though? With one final look at my mother, I knew I had to for her sake, for my mother was already broken by the black hearted queen.
My dragon is far stronger then the Black Queen, Zira's, but she has centuries of fighting experience on her side. I need help. Someone powerful in their own right. Except, the only one I can think of that had any chance died 500 years ago. I can only hope that I can make it back to Japan and seek aid from the one who took his place. Toyotomi Hideyoshi. I only hope I can find him and convince him to help me.
"I'll come back for you as soon as I can. I won't leave you here." I pulled her into a tight hug and just wept until I couldn't anymore.
It's been a couple years since I ran from the queen. I've yet to find a way out of China though. I've tried multiple times and was almost caught every time. Every time i use my dragons powers, she can locate me. I really don't know how I'm gonna get out of China. "Someone, please, help me." I whispered into the wind. Little did I know, my whispered prayer was about to be answered.
I made it to the docks and I found someone willing to take me to Japan. I finally got away from Zira. I'm free fornthe first time. Now how do I keep it this way long enough to get the help I need? Make it out of one problem situation and walk right into another. Well, ive got the whole voyage to Japan to figure it out.
