It’s pitch black around me, not even a single sound. Wait, I can.. yeah... I can activate the all`see magic.
" Miss Mia`Lionheart " a stern voice calls me. I giggled and turned to see Elena watching me with her hands crossed and feet tapping.
Pulling down the black soft cloth around my eyes, I shrugged " I am Zyra, just Zyra…when will you stop calling me MISS MIA LIONHEART ".
Another voice," You don't play fair as always ".
I dashed to the tree on my left and punched it hard… with a " THUD " it fell down.
Elena rushes towards Erik " Are you okay Master Erik`Lionheart ".
" He should be okay, I didn't punch that hard...well he doesn't play fair too, Scaredy-cat "..said as i made a funny face and laughed then rolled down the lawn.
" Am okay, I was behind the tree not above ” Then Erik turns to me and shouts “ I WAS PLAYIN FAIR LOOSER ".
Pointing at the tree, I argue " Nope, you were above the tree near to the center, I felt the presence.. '' my sentence was interrupted by " Stand up dear, they are here ", said Mr. Robinson and picks me up, Elena straightens my clothes.
Seeing this mother reach me in a snap with worried eyes, she asked " WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ? " hugs me up and carefully checks on me.
" Mommy, I'm okay, I am playing hide`n`seek..
then I activated the all`see and Elena called me off..
but you see Erik was not playing fair, so had to punch him down the tree.."
Before mommy starts to say he hugs us from behind " You are a Princess dear, act accordingly.
You see we have guests arriving" says my father Arman Drakov`Lionheart, the Great King of Orakraganoville.
Well “Orakraganoville” is the Greatest Dragon Kingdom of all, a beautiful land like an island with ocean hugging on 3 sides and on the fourth side the deep mountains holding our kingdom camouflaged with deep forest flora and fauna..
Who am I, right ?
Am Mianovazyra Arman`Lionheart, Princess of Orakraganoville and this is my family :
Lumi Tatsuya`Drachenstein, my mother and strongest commander.
(she was a commoner who grew, served and saved kingdom with my father, and adopted by uncle Falkor Tatsuya`Drachenstein)
Erik Falkor`Drachenstein, Prince of Drachenstein, my cousin and son of Falkor Tatsuya`Drachenstein.
His mother Mia Drakov`Lionheart passed away in the great battle saving us newborns...from then on they are here with us.
My caretaker, teacher…etc.etc. is Mr. Robinson, a fire dragon (Red) and that of Erik is Mrs. Elena Robinson, an air dragon (LightBlue).
We have many cousins, people under my father's shelter…but introducing them will take years...
And today is the "Wingary Ceremony''
That is when we turn 13 our tiny white wings grow into a beautiful one and we colour up on exposure to the Sceptre.
Am excited for my colour, so is Erik.
Counting my finger, as I say " Daddy has Golden and Blue,
Mommy has Crystal`Red and Black,
Uncle has Golden and Black,
And Aunt had Shimmering`Green and Legendary`Crystal White,
What if we get a double colour,
The Rare`Golden and the Legendary`Crystal`White (that can master any colour)".
"Doesn't it scare you, what if we end up being no colour or common colour" replies Erik.
" Well whatever colour you get we'll be proud of you both " assures us as they carry us back to the castle to get ready.
" Mommy .. daddy ? ".
Both in the chorus " What is it sweetheart ? ".
" The ceremony is in the evening, can we play a little more ? " asks with puppy eyes.
Mother explains " Am afraid we can't let you do that, many have already reached in and requested to see you both…
After you both were born, the great battle took place, Many were afraid to even travel, we lost many including MIA... ".
Daddy saw me staring at the fallen tree, he asked " What is it dear ? ".
" I saw someone up there, I thought it was Erik but now I think I saw a grey wing ".. they reassure " It's the inner courtyard dear, outsiders can't approach it, daddy has the barrier set up.. Don't worry.. I think your abilities are just getting to stabilize".
I hug around her neck tightly as we pace to the castle.
THE CEREMONY starts sharp in the evening, me and Erik are standing in the centre portal platform nearside the cliff along with our parents.
Whispering to Erik “ Am so happy ” as I am wearing a dark red gown, well… I guess we all are wearing the dark red gowns, suits and coats… with Ancestral Crown and Jewellery.
All in their human form are crowded here.
Nervousness strikes me hard as Father announces “ Welcome all to our humble Kingdom, Not only for the Wingary Ceremony but also to reclaim the Peace and Business between all Kingdoms ”.
Uncle starts the ceremony by summoning the officiant towards us, then stands in the centre and holds out the Crescent`White`Rainbow`Crystal Scepter.
Our parents move down to the crowd and together everyone bow down before the Scepter ..then starts to chant as the evening light approaches the platform.
Bright light almost blinds us….. I open my eyes to see Erik standing there, I gasp and say “ Wow it's Golden and Green ”. Turns to the crowd to see them in a daze and say “ We have been blessed ”.
Am way too nervous to look at the mirror.. So I close my eyes. Erik approaches saying “ Silly you have a beautiful double colour than me”.
Suddenly I sense the black wing rushing towards us with`SOUL BLADE..
I said “ ERIK DUCK ”.
Then I pushed the dragon down the cliff, but he pulled me along...
Voice behind me “ NO…...ZYRA”.
Suddenly I woke up with a racing heart…
