This chapter we get two new different characters, its time I welcome them into the game of revenge.

Discliamer! I own nothing!

Dragon Princess

Chapter 14

Anzu was sitting on a rock thinking about how she would execute her plan. They had decided together that they would act as elves that were new to this country and such. It was simple, but she had to say, her step-mother would throw a fit being in the presence of such beautiful 'elves'.

Atem interrupted her thinking then by sitting down next to her. "You're quiet, Anzu. Is something wrong?"

She shrugged but stopped when she remembered a piece of information she had yet to question him about. "Are you a god?"

He stiffened. "What does it matter? That is merely a name."

Anzu turned to him, glaring at him with her cold blue eyes. "Tell me."

Atem sighed before he stood up, wiping the imaginary dirt off his outfit. "I've . . . I've been called that many times in the past, but I truly don't care who calls me god or a plain dragon."

Anzu tipped her head to the side. "Are you a dragon god?"

He turned to her, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "In different worlds, I am known as a dragon god by other dragons only, but when I go home to where I was born, I am merely a dragon lord as are the others."

She stared at him for some time before she got up and walked over and hugged him from behind. He stiffened in shock but he relaxed and his hands moved to cover hers. "You sound alone. Even with your brother, sister, and friends, you sound so alone." She whispered and leaned her head against his back.

Suddenly he looked ancient beyond his years; it was as though he had aged in a single second. "Yes, it is lonely, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Anzu tightened her hold on him and pulled herself closer to him. "If you want . . . I'll stay with you, I'll never leave you alone."

Atem had never been caught off balance, but now . . . ever since she came to him that day, he was always being caught off balance, whether it was his feelings that made him this way or something else.

He turned to her and tipped her chin up. "Forever?"

Anzu took in a shaky breath and nodded. "Forever, whenever you need me, you will be my sun if you will let me be your moon. I will be your shadow." She said softly.

Atem blinked a few times before he rested his forehead on hers, looking in her eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he pulled her closer and—

"Atem! Anzu!" Chaya burst through the small clearing they were in. Before she could comprehend what they were about to do or what she had just interrupted, Atem and Anzu pushed away from each other and looked over at Chaya, who was looking slight confused. "Did I interrupt something?"

"Yes," he growled and marched over to his little sister. "I was right in the middle of a lesson."

"Sorry about th-" she yelped then when he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away towards the group. Anzu followed, her face alight in a bright blush. She didn't know whether to be glad that poor Chaya interrupted or mad at her.

"Hey! I said I was sorry!" she whined.

"Doesn't matter." He growled. "You were born a dragon and you knew our ways by the time you were a hundred years old. Anzu has not had that chance." Seto turned to him, a brow raised.

'It's more than that, isn't it?"

'Keep your mouth shut or I'll pull out a tooth.' Atem snarled mentally towards his cousin. In response, Seto turned away, looking bored but he kept rubbing his mouth for some reason. Kisara asked him if a tooth was bothering him but he assured her quickly that he was fine, just thinking.

"Other matters aside now," Ulrick said. "We have to concentrate on how exactly we're going to get in to the Toad's new home."

"Can't we just send a letter to them?"

"But we want to come unexpectedly." Kisara pointed out.

They were all silent for a moment before Duke, who hadn't said much at all, spoke. "How about I go and deliver a message about you guys who want to come and see the 'wonderful' human world. That way, I can even use my powers to persuade them to even say yes."

Atem narrowed his eyes as he thought about it. Duke was good at getting people on his side, whether he was wrong or right and the very sight of him might get the Toad to say yes. Anzu had told him how she thought, and he came to the conclusion that she welcomed every drop-dead handsome man into her home. "Yes."

They all turned to him. "Duke will act as a 'scout' for right now. You can leave now, if you want."

Duke nodded. "The sooner I leave, the sooner we can get this revenge going." He got up and brushed away some dirt and dust before he turned to Ulrick. "Where's the castle?"

"Go to Anzu's old home and then head south."

Duke nodded and bolted away from the small group of dragons.

Calieve Steelspawn Victor, the new Queen of the Celestial Kingdom, was sitting on her new shine throne looking at her wedding ring. The place was much better than that other horrid kingdom she was in and it was so simple to actually get away from it. All she had to do was go to the other kingdom and make the king fall in love with her.

She looked at her right hand then, to a ring with ancient symbols on it. This gave her the appearance that she was young and beautiful, once again. Now when she heard the whispers, it was about her beauty, not her ugliness.

Smirking in victory, she laughed. "Take that, Derek!"

"Laughing again, Calieve?"

She turned to see her husband, Caleb Victor. He was a lot smarter than her last husband, which meant that it wouldn't be easy to kill the damn king off. "I'm just so happy, that's all."

"Coming from a Queen who willingly let another kingdom destroy and rob her old kingdom she ruled, that's odd."

Calieve shrugged. "Bad memories, besides, the people would not listen to me because I was simple a Queen with no King."

Caleb's eyes narrowed for a moment before he sighed and walked over to his throne. "We have a visitor."

That perked her interest. "Really? Who?"

"He's coming in now, from what I was told."

The doors opened then and guards walked in, accompanying a young man. Calieve sucked in a quiet breath as her eyes landed on him. He had emerald green eyes and midnight black hair that was tied up in a ponytail. There was an odd symbol on his forehead that she couldn't see very clearly and he had an interesting earring too. It was a dice . . .? 'How odd . . . but . . . he's very yummy.' She thought. Then she noted the ears. An elf!

"I assume you are the King and Queen?" he asked. Damn, even his voice was sexy.

Caleb nodded. "We are. What can we do for you?"

He smiled. "King and Queen of the Celestial Kingdom, I come with a request from my Kings, Queens, Princes, and Princesses. We are new to this area and we've never had contact with humans before. My new King believes it is time to get to know the humans and learn from them and maybe, share some knowledge. They sent me first to ask permission so they would not intrude on anything important."

Calieve tapped her husband on the hand softly. "This could be a wise decision to let them in. If they are willing to give some knowledge, don't you think it would be a good idea to accept?"

He was silent for a moment before he nodded. "It would be an honor to let your royals stay for a while."

Duke bowed low. "Thank you, King." He turned to leave, but was stopped.

"What is your name?"

"I am Duke, Prince of West Woods." He bowed once again and left. Calieve smiled. 'A Prince, huh? Maybe I can make you a King,'

Duke entered the forest, slight shocked. The Toad Queen had obviously found away around Derek's ugly spell curse but he could still see it under her. Humans would never be able to see through what the ring hid, but dragons, elves, gods, and other powerful beings, could see what was perfectly hidden.

Anzu did say she was ugly, but he didn't realize just how ugly the lady was, not only that, but she was flirting with him! He could see it in her eyes! Wasn't she married? Dang, he might be a ladies man, but hell, he didn't go that far and flirt with married women!

"Hi there."

Duke turned on his heel to look straight in the face a someone familiar. "Wah!" he yelped and jumped back a few feet. The girl frowned.

"Is that how you say hi to old friends?"

"Stop, Mana, you scared him." Another voice joined in as a young man stepped out. Both were powerful dragons, both old friends.

"No way! What are you guys going here?"

"Well, Cindara said that you guys might need some help. By the way, what are you guys planning to do anyway? I've never seen Cindara laugh so much."

Duke tipped his head to the side, trying to decide whether or not to tell them. "How about I take you to the others to explain, hmm?"

"Fine with me!" Mana said. "Let's go." She grabbed his arm and pulled him through the forest.

"Hey! Wait a moment; you don't even know where you're going! Hey, hey! Stop it, you're hurting my arm!" Duke complained as Mana giggled and continued to pull.

Anzu was laying around, going through some new words that Atem had told her to study and get in her head. He was still glaring at his sister and Chaya, not knowing why he was glaring, decided to glare right on back.

The bushes rustled then and three people enter the small clearing. "That hurts!" Duke snapped at the girl who was promptly dragging him.

Anzu tipped her head to the side. The girl had brown hair that went past her shoulders somewhat with sparkling earth green eyes. She was about Chaya's height, slight and childish, but Anzu could the sparkle in her aura. Both she and the other man were dragons.

The girl stepped forward to Anzu and wrapped her in a surprising hug. "Hi, I'm Mana, and that guy back there," she said pointing to the man talking to Atem. "Is my mate, Mahado."

"Oh," Anzu said. She walked and peeked over Atem's shoulder. "Hello." He looked at her and smiled. He was handsome with his long brown hair tied up in a low ponytail. He had warm brown eyes and an easy smile. She could see why Mana loved him.

"Hey there, handsome!" Mana yelled, hugging Atem. Anzu bristled as Atem and Mahado stiffened. The girl stopped hugging and skipped off to where Chaya and Kisara were.

Mahado followed his mate while Atem and Anzu stayed behind. "What . . . was that about?" she asked.

"Ah . . . that . . . I'll tell you later when no one can over hear us." He coughed then, telling her that the subject was over for now. "I told Mahado about the plan, he would like to join in, along with Mana, is that ok?"

"As long as she doesn't hug you again, it's fine." She said. Suddenly, Anzu realized just how possessive she was. Atem was fighting a smirk.

"Are you-"

"Say anything and you'll be my sapphire statue, forever." She said, a little too sweetly. Atem cringed and pouted.

"Why do you have to be so mean?"

"Because I can." She smiled and patted his cheek before turning to Duke. "So?"

"Oh yeah, the King guy agreed. By the way, I should warn you guys about something. The Toad found away around that ugly spell, it was a ring on her finger."

Atem looked up. "Was it covered in ruins?"

"Yeah, but I could see through them perfectly. Dragons and other powerful beings can see through it as though the ring doesn't exist, but for humans, all they can see is that she's the most beautiful thing in the room." He turned to Anzu then and smiled. "She's going to be real mad when she sees just how pretty you girls are going to be."

Anzu smiled. "That's exactly what I want to happen."

Ha ha! I guess you guys don't like Chaya at the moment since she kinda intrupted something I was so willing to give you guys.

Chaya: You're the writer! Change it!

Naw, I'll let you suffer for a few chapters or so.

Chaya:*whimpers*

Anyway, thank for reading, and chapter 15 will be uploaded soon. (Sometime tonight.) Also, if youwere slightly confused as to why Atem's so lonely, he, out of all the others, is considered more powerful then his mother and father, and very close to becoming an actual god. (Think about it, Dragon Gods have to pick a female where multipe females could fight over him, *dragon fight!* jk, anyway, being all powerful kinda puts you in another level of lonelyness, that's why Atem is lonely.) Anzu can fill it because she's not a normal, plain dragon.

Just to let you guys know, I'm not an expert with elves and such, sure, I've watched Lord of the Rings but that's as far as my info on elves go. See ya in next chapter.

Confused? Write a question and I'll reply in the next chapter.
