Queen of dragons
By: GameOfStories (GOS)
Chapter one: Betrayal
I do not own any of the characters in this story except for Nula the handmaid... This story is sort of on the lines of Game of Thrones but it isn't a cross over so Enjoy the Picture is by the amazing Rboz and the characters from this story are the work of Hiro Mashima... Thanks all and don't forget to review.
She trembled in her small throne, her step father sat proudly next to her, unafraid of the savages before them that held curved swords and seemed stained in blood. Her hazel eyes looked frantically around at the guards around the room, there wasn't enough, one tribesman could take out five guards on their own. The tribesman stood patiently, not uttering a words as they glared around the room with fierce eyes and painted skin, in their robes of leather and fur. They were waiting, waiting for their chief, the most ferocious dragon chief that ever had been, he could topple kingdoms in a night, he burnt and killed, kidnapped and stole... he was a monster. Her step father was not afraid though, he had called them to the castle for unknown reasons, it just meant it was easier to get to the king and her, to take the thrones and kill their people. She didn't want to be there, she would have happily stayed beneath her mountains of books and yet there she sat, decorated in fine clothing as if mocking the tribe.
Her silk dress was a beautiful golden colour with orange, gossamer fabrics going around her waist and shoulder, it did not show her curved figure like most dresses that princesses wore, instead it hung on her skin like an ethereal shadow. Her hair had been braided with a white ribbon and it was entwined with her silver crown which sat on her sky blue hair that brushed her shoulders. Though her figure was not exactly womanly and her height made her seem younger than what she was, though her hips were well endowed and 'built to bare many children' as her step father would say, her breasts were not, they were small and ample. She was slim and graceful, everything a princess should be yet she moved around with the weight of a kingdom on her shoulders.
The sound of drumming made her look up just as he entered the room and it felt like the whole room collapsed around him, he was huge, standing as tall as the armoured soldier but he had no metal to weight him down. He wore nothing on his bare chest, showing his muscled torso for everyone to see and she gasped, when he looked up, his skin was decorated with metal studs and he had long, spiked, black hair that fell down his shoulders. That did not scare her though... his eyes did, unlike his men, his eyes were blood red, they seemed to look right through her and she shifted in her seat, wanting to run from the room away from him.
"Ah, Chief Redfox!" The king spoke in a confidant voice, the chief glared at him and the man beside him whispered into his ear and he nodded one before speaking into the other tribesman's ear. the small tribesman who looked like a flea next to the chief stepped forwards.
"Chief says he did not come for pleasantries, he wants the whores and slaves you have promised his men and then we shall leave your puny kingdom in peace!" The small man said and she looked up at her step father.
"Ah yes, I of course will not keep him waiting, bring in the whores first!" The king ordered and the door next to him opened and thirteen frightened women were pulled by thick chains by a guard. They where whimpering and huddling together and she gasped as she saw her hand maid, Nula, in with them and her step father glared down at her.
"But your grace, she is no whore!" She whispered to him and he scoffed as he looked down at the hand maid, she was a beautiful young girl with long, black hair braided down her shoulders. Her skin was a golden colour and she had a slim, womanly figure, she was a kind and shy girl who had become one of the princesses trusted friends.
"She will be now shut up Levy, before I give you to that brute!" He snapped at her quietly and she sunk back as Nula was pulled forwards by the chief and she whimpered as he yanked away the fabric that shielded her and he looked her up and down as she attempted to shield herself. He didn't like that one bit and he raised his hand, he swiftly brought it down on her cheek and Levy covered her mouth as Nula hit the floor, sobbing and the young princesses gut twisted with rage and sickness.
"Nula!" Levy cried as she stepped down from her throne and ran down the steps, she ran to her friend who was on the floor and she picked her shoulders up.
"Levy get back up here right now!" Her step father snarled and she glared at him, shaking her head as she eyed the blood running from Nula's trembling lips. Levy used the orange fabric on her dress to dab it away and a shadow fell over her, making her look up at the chief who towered over them.
"You, you brute, how dare you... she is not a thing to be smacked around... you... you savage... you monster... she will not be given to you... none of these women will!" She snapped at him as she stood up, both terrified and full of hatred as she looked up at him, at full height coming to the bottom of his chest and one of his tribesmen translated it for him.
"Levy... you will get us all killed now get back here or so help me I will have you whipped into the next century!" The king warned and she turned to him instead.
"So you will give these women away to be beaten and raped by these savages, the women who have served you with loyalty and pride!?" She questioned and he sighed as he sat down.
"I would give you to him if it meant keeping my kingdom safe... and I just might, you are as stubborn as your mother, rest her soul but I will not have you put my people in jeopardy for the sake of a handmaid!" He yelled and her mouth fell open in disgust as the chief behind her grabbed her arm painfully and she yelped, he spoke, in a gruff voice and in a tongue that she couldn't understand.
"The chief want the sky haired woman... he says he will leave with her and the whores... and no harm will come of your kingdom after the insult" the tribesman said and Levy swallowed thickly as her step fathers eyes went wide with shock and Levy looked down at Nula who was sobbing harder. Her heart began to pound like the stampeding of a thousand horses and she trembled like a leaf in a storm as she shook her head.
"F-father... don't let him... please..." Levy uttered but it fell on deaf ears as her step father shook his weary head and waved his hand. The chief grunted in approval and grabbed the princess by the waist, he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder as if she was nothing and she began to scream. "No... let go of me!" She cried as he turned and began walking out of the throne room and she looked up at her step father. "Please Jose, don't let him take me!" She screamed in fear and as they rounded the threshold of the door, she saw the smirk play on his lips that made her heart sink and she gasped as she stopped fighting. This was what her step father had wanted and she'd played right into his hands... of course he wanted her gone, then the throne wouldn't go to her when she came of age in about a year. Levy hung there, watching the stone floors pass and she bit her lip to hold in her sob. They exited the castle and her body swayed as he went down the stone steps and the women each yelped slightly as a thud was heard and they passed the cage they had been put in and Nula outstretched her hand to the sad princess whom fingers brushed the handmaids. The chief kept moving and suddenly sat her on a horse, a large, black steed and he jumped on, sitting behind her, his large body looked like it could devour hers and he moved up, so she could feel the warmth of his chest. His huge arms encased her and he grabbed the reins of the horse and it suddenly began to move, making her gasp and she began to shake as she tightly shut her eyes and ignored her people calling her name in anguish. Her life had been thrown to the dragons and she had no control over what her fate would be, they would either treasure her or torture her and she wanted neither...
