Fontenay le Comte
Amaury's POV
What I was thinking, we were just above the town when we were captured, I got separated from Dawn and took out to the town hall's garden, everything were collapsed building even Notre Dame church was barely destroyed, I was thrown to the ground and a male Razorwhip growled at me, dark gray scales, green eyes and he got a blue Monstrous Nightmare beside him
"okay...I'm screwed !"
But instead of focusing about me, they were roaring at each others, I don't know why until one moment when the second dragon, the nightmare, lost a piece of paper, I looked at it and understand the problem
"I...I can save your daughter !"
the two dragons looked at me with surprised, the Razorwhip chased the Nightmare and asked to see Dawn
"hi chief what is it ?"
He some sort of talked to her and she turned towards me
"he gave you 10 hours, if you didn't bring Shadow back you will die !"
"okay, I think I know where they are !"
I looked to the church not that far and pointed out to the dragons
"there they are !
"go on, said Dawn, you have not much time !"
I left the HQ and went to the crumbled church.
Notre Dame Church
Shadow's POV
I woke up in a cage, I felt so cold but I recognize the building, the huge thing near the HQ, I shivered and whined, no guards were around me but...I know what they're doing for their prisonners, I won't be alive soon. But suddenly, the chief's squad camein and talked to an other guard, he looked panicked, then, a guard felt dead near my cage and an other one at the otherside, the two who were still alive didn't know who stroke them and of course they were dead in no time but when I found out my savior was a human, I waited to him to open the cage to jump on him, ready to kill him.
45min before this event
Amaury's POV
I found an entry with no guards, I enterd to the lost church and killed the two first guy I saw. Then, I climbed to the next ladder leading to the second floor, pushed the third one and he kissed hard the ground, I almost saw his brain on the floor, the second one, on the other side saw me, I put my hood on...seriously...I'm the hero of my own assassin's creed...with dragons by the way...love it, anyway, I took the pistol from the first body and aim for the head of the fourth men, I blew his head of and he felt to the ground, the two last remaining guys walked to the middle, back to back, I jumped on them, the hidden blades ready to stryke and I cut their throat out, No more guards were around, I saw a cage and shot the lock, I just opened the cage when the dragon jumped on me, angry as a wolf
"WOW ! I'm here to rescue you, not kill you !"
She looked at me with astonishement, I took my breath back and said
"your father sent me to rescue you !"
She stood back and looked at me
"we're not far from your dad's HQ, now, follow me !"
She followed me and we went out of the church.
Dragon's HQ
Copperhead's POV
Since this pityful human left, I feared the worst for my little Shadow, for the others, I'm called Copperhead, like the snake I know...why ? I killed everyone by my poisonous tears and then, I'm watching them all die slowly, spitting blood and guts until finally, death took them, but if someone made my beloved daughter suffer, he will know my true nature, before I got this nickname, my real name was Gheist, I killed you without you noticing and one day, I killed an entire army just with my spine and my tail, the leader got his skin flayed with my tail, I was young this time
"chief, I heard, the human is back with Shadow !"
I ran to the entry and when I arrived, she jumped on me
"DAD !"
"I missed you so much sweety !"
Before she left for dinner, I called back my second in command and told him to execute the humans
"YOU SAID YOU'LL NOT KILL ME IF I BROUGHT YOUR DAUGHTER ALIVE !"
I know that, but what kind of dragon chief I could be if I fred two humans just like that but when Butcher, the Monstruous Nightmare, was ready to burnt the prisonners...how can he be with this human girl ? this witch destroyed several dragon mind, my best warrior included...anyway, when he was ready to do the only task he is good to, I heard
"you will not kill them, they are truly good to us !"
"SHADOW ! stay out of this !"
"he killed all enemy guards and saved me, your so called best warrior didn't found me !"
"how can you protect these...things !"
"my savior talked with me during the way back, they worked with us, not against us !"
"Furious is not..."
"fuck Furious !"
I was shocked by that, Furious is our leader, we can't disrespect him ? but my daughter was not finish
"I owe my life to a human I asked you to let them live and I'll left with them !"
I was speechless, my daughter wanted to leave her home, leave me ? after what happened to my mate and her mom
"dad, I know how you felt when you see mom died in battle for this town, but...I need to do my own adventures to be the girl you can proud of !"
I got tears in my eyes, Butcher wanted to help me but I left the area before he can do anything, I don't care about anyone now, I can't leave without my girl here !
Heather's POV
After a while after the chief went away from here, I got Windshear back and the Monstruous Nightmare let us go. When we left the town with a new dragon who looked familiar to me, Shadow stayed with Windshear and Amaury was with this dragon, when suddenly, I remember who it was
"Dawn ?"
"hi Heather !"
"you...you survived ?"
"yes, I'm glad to see you too !"
I petted for some time Dawn without talking about my lost children, she talked to me about Amaury and Spit, here to rescue me... Amaury was near Windshear, looking to Shadow, she was not a baby anymore but not an adult, maybe a teen dragon, but she was too focused on Windshear, she maybe lived too much time without her mother
"do you think Amaury loves me ?"
"I'm sure, no man will let a girl in danger !"
"but what can I do to him ?"
"like your first husband, think of him !"
"I'll try !"
I sighed and walked towards him
"Amaury...can...can I talked to you in private ?"
"yes !"
We walked for a while and we sat down far from the dragon
"first...thank you for saving me, you did a great job out there, second...I...I think I need to say something special."
"what is it ?"
I saw in his eyes he feared the worst so...I put my right hand on his shoulder and said
"during my time in this cell, I thought about the things I haven't got in my new life and...I regret one thing...not beeing with you !"
"me ?"
"yes, you, only one guy will do that for me, even fighting for or against dragon, it was your ancestor...I loved him so much and...and I began to love you too !"
He stay silent for a long time, I decided to let him alone for a while, let's see what he will do.
Night camp
Amaury's POV
We were between Fontenay and the Blood Claw camp, I was sitting on a rock for a while with the "I began to love you too" from Heather in my mind and only that until I felt Shadow's muzzle against both my hand
"hey...thank you for saving us...I'm sorry for you leaving your dad and..."
Shadow stood up and hugged me, I heard her purred and she closed her eyes when she felt my hands against her scales, we finished to join the others, Heather took good care of Windshear while Shadow search something, I joined her and coughed
"I think you...you need an answer right ?"
"yes !"
She looked at me and I sighed
"I don't know how to say it to you, it's...it's the first time I have to say it...since I first saw you, I...I loved you from all my heart !"
Before I can add anything else, she jumped on my arms and kissed me.
