Dragons and Cross-dressers – Chapter thirty four

"Human!"

"The dragon has changed into a human!"

"It is hiding its true form!"

"It's a she! It's a woman!"

"A female?"

"We wanted to see a dragon's form! Not her human form!"

"She is very beautiful though…"

"Dragons always look beautiful as humans."

"She has no clothes!"

There were cries of surprise, protest, amazement and joy as the brown body of a powerful dragon melt away like snow into one of a pretty human female.

She covered herself with her arms and hands and growled angrily at the surrounding humans who were staring at her.

Arthur had seen her change form and looked away in embarrassment. Gentlemen did not look at nude women, it was rude.

Suddenly a familiar name reached his ears over the loud crowd.

"IAIN!"

His head snapped up surprised. The dragon had spoken. Her voice boomed over the crowd again.

"IAIN! I know Iain!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs desperately.

Arthur's eyes widened and he charged forward, leaving the confused knight behind. The nobleman was too busy half listening to his friend brag and brag and brag.

He forced his way through the crowd, pushing until he was at the fence. Then he jumped it and ran up to her cage. The raised cage's floor started at his chest.

The female dragon was blushing heavily, being revealed so openly despite hiding herself.

Instinctively and without thinking, Arthur removed his large jacket. It was slightly too big for him and would be huge on her. He tossed it up to her. She slipped it on in a hurry. She looked more relieved and relaxed as the big jacket acted like a dress and covered her completely.

She ducked down so she could talk to him face to face. She spoke loudly over the shocked and angry mob that was yelling insults and slurs at the prince.

"I know Iain! I know your brother!" Arthur gasped slightly.

"You know him?"

"Yes! He came here yesterday!... He has red hair and green eyes!"

"That's him! Where is he?"

"He is going to fight today! It's a punishment!"

"A punishment?"

"For escaping! It's why I'm here too! We both nearly escaped!"

"Escaping?"

"Yes! He said he needed to find you! He wanted to protect you from something! He was really stressed and worried about you! He seemed scared that you were going to be attacked!"

Arthur looked confused and vaguely upset, along with several other mixed emotions over his brother's supposed anxiousness.

"How do you kno~?"

Suddenly the girl bared her sharp teeth and snarled. The sound made him jumped but he soon realised it was not directed at him. A man behind him had also jumped the face and was reaching for Arthur.

"Back off human!" The dragon hissed angrily as the man backed away slowly in fear. She then glared around at the other wary humans who murmured annoyed amongst themselves. Many were angry with Arthur for speaking with the dragon without permission.

She turned back to him with a kind smile. The difference shocked Arthur but he couldn't blame her. These caged conditions were horrible.

"Iain told me. He was very upset after all…"

The prince blinked and smiled back weakly. He didn't know how to reply so instead he asked a question.

"What is your name?"

The brown haired girl looked astonished. Arthur's smile faltered, wondering if he had offended her. She leaned forward and laughed slightly with a wide grin.

"You're the first human to ask me that." She laughed again in glee. "My name is Lena." She paused with a grin before asking. "What is your name?"

"Arthur."

"Arthur. It is a nice name… Iain and Arthur… I hope you two meet up."

Arthur felt touched by Lena's kindness and sincerity.

"If you meet him and help him escape… Tell him Lena says Good Luck..."

Before Arthur could reply to the request, her body morphed back into a dragon's.

The jacket was ripped in the transformation. Lena smiled one last time at the prince before resuming her bored state of staring at nothing. Her way of escaping the awful events and leering humans around her.

A hand suddenly grabbed the prince's shoulder. Arthur jump and let out a small scream in surprise.

"Mein gott! You're jumpy!"

"Whoa dude! Did you jump the fence?"

He turned around to see Gilbert and Alfred. He glanced at Lena who was glaring at the albino and in an almost protective way of Arthur. The German ignored the dragon, lecturing the blonde instead.

"Hey! It is unawesome to break to rules here! No one is allowed beyond the fence except for the awesome me and West. If you veren't Francis's buddy, I would kick you out." He laughed loudly at that for some unknown reason to the prince and began leading the way away from the cage.

The blonde wondered if they saw or heard his conversation with Lena. It soon became clear that the answer was no. The German continued bragging about his dragon stadium when the other three half heartedly listened. Finally he asked.

"Where do you guys want to go next?" Arthur cleared his throat loudly for attention.

"I heard from someone that there is a fight soon. One with th red dragon?"

"Ja! Kesesese~ You guys came at an awesome time! That guy was right. There is a fight with that red dragon I mentioned earlier." He gestured for them to follow him through a guarded door.

Apparently, there was a charge to enter the displaying floor then a second charge to enter the fighting arena.

Once again, they got in for free due to Francis's closeness with the owner.

"Come on! Let's go to the VIP box seats. You guys will love it! The fight starts soon!" The albino bragged before leading them into a small room with several thrones. The men took their seats. It was the closest to the fighting section.

Arthur could see other cheaper seats and benches which were much farther away at the sides. Though the whole place was big enough to appear spherical, the truth was the room was shaped like an eye.

Only the area with the large mesh caging encasing it was actually circular.

In the middle of that caged area stood the relatively small figure of a red haired man.

(A/N – Sorry Lena! This was the only way they could talk with each other without Arthur suddenly magically turning into a dragon himself and ruining the whole plot and history of the story!

I was discreet about the nudity because Lena is my friend and I respect her greatly. In fact – She's awesome.

Also – this a T but I only thought about that afterwards. My friend came first in my mind.

Sleepy writing sucks… I also use '…' more without realising it… And I think my A/N get a little less cheery as well… I wish I had some Irn Bru to re-energise myself. It has more sugar than Coke.

REVIEW PLEASE! And remember the questions in the last two A/Ns. It would be nice if they were answered honestly.

Now, excuse while I sleep. Then I will wake up tomorrow and realise how bad my writing is at midnight and not do it again or fret about it until I post the next chapters.)
