Chapter 10: Sun Child part 1

(-Arion's PoV-)

~Flashback~

I was born the same as any other. You know? When mommy dragon and a daddy dragon love each other very much and stuff like that. What a load of crap. In the story books they tell of loving families that have forest picnics and-and catch fish or something! That wasnt us. We didnt have love like the others.

It happened on that night. Griffin had come to my chambers earlier to wake me and had brought me my breakfast. The silver tray was filled with enough food for every person in the kingdom of Cecily. There were pancakes to the right and steaks to the left. "Why so much food, Griff?"

"Why must you ask? It's your big day after all is it not? You should be excited. After all today is the day that you will be crowned as a true princess and be granted the power of queens and kings past!" Griffin was not usually this excited about anything. I suppose this day will truly be one to remember.

I sighed at him, "Calm down Griffin it's just a crown. Who cares?"

"You should care! You will be a leader in the people's hearts and they will think of you as more then a little kid."

"I am over 200 years old!" I yell, shocked at his choice of words. I soon begin to hurriedly scarf down the food on the tray.

Griffin sat his hand in my shoulder in an attempt to slow my eating. "Honestly, you are a princess not a barbarian. Eat properly." he hands me a fork and gives the 'if-you-don't-do-as-I-say-then-you-die' look on his face. It sent chills down my spine.

"Tch. Gosh! You'd think you were my mother" snickered while snatching the fork from his hand. "Why are you here anyway? You're not a servant and didn't you just get promoted to Commander or something like that?"

"This is true but appearantly every time one of your actually servants came to wake you- you attacked them with your roar."he started to lowly chuckle then continued. "Queen Uo had called me and figured that I would be able to wake you and stop you from damaging anything else. The funny thing however, is that when I came to wake you, you didn't attack or even attempt. If I may be so bold, I would say that maybe you liked me too much to hurt me even in your sleep."

As he said this a bright red spread across my brown cheeks. "S-shut up, pretty boy. I could never." I say as I once again begin to scarf down the food nervously.

To tell the truth at the time he wasnt wrong. I dreamed of him. He had shining,yet messy, brown hair that fell gently onto his pale face. His hair was short in the back and he had bangs that covered up his right eye to cover a scar he had gotten in a battle some 50 years ago. His eyes were a golden color that could put the brightest jewel to shame.

He had been the best friend I ever had back in those days. He was not only this but also one of the best looking guys I had ever seen and all the girls wanted him as there mate. They thought he was mysterious, calm, and cool. They were so far off that it wast even fair to laugh at them. Griffin was crazy and out there. He was loyal like a dog and skittish like a common cat that has had too much excitement and is having a withdrawal. They were right about the cool part though.

He was so brave and would always come back from missions and tell about how he had slain the Minotaur known as Aiden with a simple flick of his finger or how the krakens of the south sea feared even the mentioning of his name. When they heated anything that even sounded close to 'Griffin Pearl' they would run and cower. They even cut offfrayed with the clam's trading company out of pure and utter fear.

"Ahem, Princess. If you would stop staring at me and continue eating. We have to start getting you ready." he gave me a smug smile as if to say that he had won. That bastard. I sigh and continued eating, the blush still residing on my cheeks"

I soon finished the unreasonably large meal that had been brought to me onlu to be literally hurled from my bed by Griffin. Before i had the chance to yell at him, three maids come rushing into the room; two rummaging my wardrobe and the other, pushing Griffin out. The women soon appearny had found what they were looking for and it just happened to be the fanciest dress I owned (per the order of Griffin).

It was a lilac high-low dress that was practically drenched in sparkles on the lower half. On the top half rubies emeralds and turquoise donned it. A darker lilac sash was tied tighty into a large bow in the back and a purple sweater that stopper in the middle of my rib cage.

One of the three then began to brush my (previously) black hair, that had been waist length at the time, into a fish tail braid. Another of the three had went to get my black pair of combat boots that I just simply adored. The last went to fetch Griffin from the hall and bring him in.

"Well don't you look ravishing?" he said as he lifted my hand from my lap and placed a kiss on my knuckles with a smirk. I gave him an irritated look in response. His smirk disappeared as he noticed me reaching for my black boots the maid had brought. "I hope you aren't planning to wear those."

"Shut up. We're only going to go see Auntie Faron and Uncles Lanaryu and Eldin." I reasoned while tying up the boot.

"Dont be silly this is-"

"Yeah,yeah. I know important blah blah blah" I interrupted as I pushed pasted him and out the door.

"You are so infuriating" he mumbleon under his breath.

"I can still hear you, idiot!" I yell from down the hall. "Honestly why do I even bother with him?" I say, questioning myself aloud.

Suddenly, I ran into something. The figure stood there in front of me and spoke "I can still hear you..."

"GAHG! Do we not have somewhere to be? Gosh stop joking around."

We continued walking in silence until we reached the castle gardens and met Mother who accompanied us to the ancient cave of the Tribunal. We all realesed our semi-dragon forms that only showed our tails and had our scales placed all over our skin and gained our true forms as the dragons we are. We took off and began on our way.

As we flew, I couldn't help but notice Mother' scales. They were a vibrant shade of turquoise and the sun itself seemed to bow to them and her navy spikes. I could only hope to one day look that way. And Griffin. His white scales were just as beautiful. The created rainbows and were complimented by his golden back spikes.

"It's only a day's fly from here." Mother stated, catching my attention.

"Will Father be attending?" I say properly, hearing Griffin chuckle at my sudden change in personality. I gave him a death glare and waited for her to answer.

"He said that he would already be there when we arrived."

"I can't wait to see him."
