"From the day I was born my life was forfeit…. That's what my father always told me. Valerie, your life is for me to decide and decide alone he would say…"
The crimson haired woman with blue eyes smirked as she watched the guards from the crow's nest of the ship she was on. She clung a blonde haired woman next to her as she did. "… But I always was the type to rebel, which is why I'm here now. Cia, was it?"
The scared blonde timidly nodded. "Yes… But how are we going to get out of here? There are men all over and…"
Valerie chuckled and placed a finger over her mouth. "The gods are on our side my dear… And they have chosen for you to be saved this night." She drew her blade and smirked. "Time for some fun, hold on tight."
Cia nodded, wrapping her arms around the redhead from behind as Valerie cut a rope and used it to glide down. "Looking for me, boys?"
"There you are!" one of the men growled, drawing his sword. "Valerie get your ass back here and behave like Master DJ wants!"
"Oh please, hasn't father learned by now he can't even keep me captured?" Valerie sneered, lifting a pole with her leg and using it to whap the man in the face. "You morons can never keep up with my sister, let alone me. He should know by now to send someone more confident."
"Get her!" another growled, as about a dozen pirates leapt to attack her at once.
"Oh dear, going up!" Valerie tugged the rope again, swinging across to the front of the ship, Cia screaming the whole way as they landed. "Sweetie, I need you to jump. Now."
"What?!" Cia cried, looking at her scared.
"Trust me." Valerie said with a smirk, pulling the girl's arms off her as she kicked her towards the dock, right were the ship had anchored for the night. "Sorry!" she said, kicking another man with a sword down as she did, while dodging another blade.
"You little bitch I'll get you!" one of the men growled, right at the crimson haired woman kicked him under the belt.
"Please you boys are a joke." Valerie narrowed her eyes, expertly dodging each one. "And an easy read." She smashed her elbow into the chest of the one sneaking up behind her. "Didn't father warn you about my curse?" she then did a backflip, right onto the dock and helping Cia to her feet. "Come dear we must run."
"But where to?" the scared woman asked as they rushed through the city.
"Kouka Kingdom." Valerie answered. "… My destiny with the Crimson Dragon awaits me there…"
Out in the distance, Princess Yona for some reason at that moment looked up at the sky, as if something was calling to her.
"Something wrong, Yona Dear?" her Green Dragon, Jae-ha asked.
"… I don't see anything." The Blue Dragon, Shin-ah searched out where the princess was looking.
"She's probably just daydreaming or hit her head." Her guardian Hak joked.
"Lightning Beast this is no time to be making jokes!" the White Dragon, Kija growled.
"This is too early for you guys to be fighting…" the boy genius, Yoon grumbled.
"Zeno is enjoying watching the mister and Hakuryuu go at it though!" the Yellow Dragon, Zeno chuckled.
Yona, the Crimson Dragon herself turned to her group and shook her head. Little Ao, the orange squirrel companion of Seiryuu sat on her shoulder. "It's nothing. I just felt like… Someone was calling to me." She shrugged her shoulders, unknowing just what fate had in store for her…
