15. Just Another Dragon Fight

"Elizabeth, are you nervous?"

"No, Bae, are you?"

"Well, I..."

"Relax, it's just another dragon fight."

"Another?"

"As in it's just normal, everyday stuff. At least for us fairytale characters. I bet Charlotte has never fought a dragon before."

"No, just a dark sorceress", said Charlotte.

"Fair enough. Charlotte, why did you have a sword?"

"Well, I'd been training. So I could help you."

"So you could... thank you, Charlotte."

"Well of course. You're my family."

It was then that it struck me how messed up my family tree was. Even if you didn't include Charlotte because there was no blood or marriage relation, people were still connected in all sorts of ways. My existence officially gave Papa a spot in the tree, but even without me it was very complicated. It was all centered around... Henry. My nephew... who was a year younger than me. Well, whatever. We found a clearing to lure the dragon into, and the fight began. I launched some water at it, and then everyone else started distracting it while I looked up the spell to make the ice cage and enchant it.

Meanwhile, Papa, Bae, and Prince Charming all hacked at it with swords, Snow White shot arrows at it, and Charlotte threw random objects at it (She had left her sword at camp). Just as I found the spell, the dragon breathed a blast of fire that forced Snow White to duck aside. She tripped on a rock, and flew 50 feet into the air.

"Snow!", shouted Prince Charming.

By the time I looked up, I was only barely able to slow the fall enough to keep her alive. She was unconscious, and it looked like her leg was broken. But I could fix that later. I brought Rolland over, taught him the words, and told him to say them at the same time as me. I summoned all my magic, and all of his, and then we cast the spell. An icy cage formed around the dragon, and it was stuck. We walked back to where the horses were tethered, and then we split up. I went to give Rolland back to his father, and everyone else went back to camp. I got to where Robin Hood was and I gave him back his son.

"Thank you for returning him safely, Elizabeth."

"Of course."

"Well, I'll probably see you again sometime, so, goodbye for now."

"Bye."

I left, and used magic to speed up my journey back to camp. I arrived just minutes after everyone else. Regina had already healed Snow, but she wouldn't wake up for about three days. But we had a bigger problem to deal with - that giant storm cloud.

"Do you know what that was?", I asked.

"Well, it was just a storm", said Regina. "Probably magical and deadly, but a storm. And it was created by someone magical - someone dark."

"Who?"

"Me!", said a voice.

We whipped around. Standing there was a woman who was dressed entirely in black and shrouded with clouds so you couldn't see her face. A glowing purple pendant hung from her neck.

"Great. Another enemy. Exactly what we needed, right?"

"Totally."
