Seven-year-old Yukino sat in her chambers, looking into the forest she had been warned against entering too many times to count. There was a knock at her door before it opened to reveal Captain Scarlett. "Princess, the carriage is ready for us." she informed.
"Very well, I will be down shortly." Yukino replied. The captain nodded and left. "Another boring day. When will it end?" she whispered. "Perhaps something will happen on the ride. It will be near Dragon Forest."
...
The young princess got her wish. At the crossing between Magnolia and Krokus, bandits attacked the carriage. "Requip! Heaven's Wheel!" Captain Scarlett snapped, her armor changing immediately. "Circle sword!" Scarlett snarled, spinning her swords in a circle and dispatching most of the nearby ones, but more bandits were behind them. "Princess, run!" Yukino didn't need to be told twice. Opening the door, she ran for the woods.
...two hours later...
Yukino slowed her pace as she began to look around. "Where am I?" she asked herself. Figuring the bandits were still following her, Yukino decided to keep walking. Hearing the birds, she actually began to calm down. "Well, at least I'm safe." Hearing a rustle in the bushes, Yukino's curiosity overwhelmed her fear and she went to have a look.
What she saw stunned her. There was a lizard, no bigger than a pit bull, with black scales and ivory wings tending to a large garden. "Who's there?" The creature, who the princess realised was a young Dragon, demanded, looking to where she stood. "Who are you?" It demanded again.
"My name is Yukino, I'm lost and tired. Is there anywhere nearby where I can sleep?" The frightened girl asked.
"No, leave now before I kill you." The Dragon commanded. Yukino puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
"Well, excuse me. I got attacked by bandits and now I have no clue where I am, no food, and no shelter. And, of course I would hate to impose on a kid who probably isn't any more mature than me." The Dragon was surprised to say the least. This slip of a girl was mouthing off to him, showing courage you wouldn't find in today's youth.
"Very well, there is my castle. You may stay the night, but that's it." Turning, he said simply, "This way. And just so you know, my name is Rogue."
I know I said I'd work on my Pokemon story, but I'm going to do a "type the whole story out and post week by week" type of thing.
