Chapter 20

Regina woke up when she felt subtle movements in her room. She didn't move but silently watched as the figure left the room. She didn't miss the neon green hair flying past, leaving the inn.

She noticed a flash of green and her eyes widened. The only person had had green hair that she knew about was Esther. Without thinking Regina rushed out the window. She didn't know why but she knew she had to follow Esther. The two girls had already formed. Regina wouldn't let anything happen to her.

As she carefully trailed Esther she noticed that Esther was suddenly held down by a group of people dressed in black.

Regina's heart began being rapidly. Anger was all she could feel. Assassins, how dare they try to take someone precious to her! She wouldn't let them touch a hair on Esther! Due to her anger her senses dulled. And unliked her she began to charge towards the group but failed to noticed the assassin behind her. Before she could turn around she was. Knowcked to the floor.

The last thing she saw was the red moon on the back of the assassin's clothes before she slipped into darkness.

.

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She felt remorseful, she still wasn't powerful enough. She still couldn't protect her friend.

"Regina" Regina felt someone holding her hand. She turned her head to see Solomon, she could see the look of worry he gave her. Regina couldn't help but feel a little disappointment in the fact that the person who was holding her was Solomon.

Looking forward she found Alein standing at the door, she was back at the inn, they came for her. "Solomon yesterday Esther was taking by people in black with a red crescent moon on the back. The lunar kingdom's symbol is the crescent moon right? Why is your country trying to make an enemy out of me? " Every word that came out of a her mouth seemed to be daggers being shot and his heart.

Solomon bit his lips, It really was his country that was after her. Those assassin's were the king's top soldiers, sworn alliance to the king, his brother was the king.

He suddenly started feeling regretful. Something worst could've happened; If only he didn't run away; If only he wasn't so scared for his life, this wouldn't have happened. If only -

"-I'm sorry Solomon so being hard on you, it isn't your fault. That bastard of a king, he must pay. And you will succeed the throne. "

He was taken back by her words, he couldn't help but smile.

"I will need to use your necklace. "

.

king Rigel sat in his study looking through the letters of threats the lunar kingdom had sent him. He could only sigh, that stupid sister of his, did he spoil her too much? She was his only family since their parents were killed in the last dragon war over five centuries ago. now there is a possibility of another war. The earth dragons will be entirely wiped out. His people will be slaughtered like sheep.

Rigel sighed again and tossed the pieces of paper in his hand into the fire when he was disrupted by a knock on the door. "come in" he said quickly not paying attention to the seemingly harmless guard that came into the room. "Sire, friends of the princess have come to see you."

Rigel frowned, his sister's friend? his heart felt sour and he had no intention of seeing anything related to his sister. "Send them away."

"I can't do that sire."

The king was dumbstruck. A mere guard dared to talk back like that. "how dare-" he was immediately cut off by a monotone but beautiful voice that came with the gorgeous figure that walked into his study with a knight following her.

"I apologise your majesty but your sister, the princess has been kidnapped by the lunar kingdom."

Rigel was taken back, his neon green hair filled head seemed to have froze. "Who are you?" he asked quietly but briskly.

"Esther's friends." Regina said with determination that attracted the king's eye.

"You.. smell.... human? what do you humans want?"

"The princess was kidnapped by the lunar kingdom, we humans only want to save her."

"Why should i trust you!? You humans are selfish and evil creatures that fill yourselves with hate and jealousy."

"I don't give a fudge what humans are, all i want is to save Esther"

The King was once again enchanted by her spunk. "And how do you plan to save her from the Lunar kingdom, they are allied with the Fire Dragons. I am only the King of minor Earth Dragons. What makes you think i could win against the black start alliance?"

"Form an alliance with us."

"What?"

The seemingly harmless guard transformed into the stunningly handsome Solomon once again.

"I am Solomon, the true heir to the Lunar Throne, i will make an alliance with you."

Regina stepped up beside him.

"I am Regina Regilor, granddaughter of Duke Regilor, i will form an alliance with you."

There was silence, but suddenly the King began to laugh.

"You want me to form an alliance with you? A run away prince and the granddaughter of that Duke. Why?"

"Because we want to save her, your sister." Regina ignored the fact that he knew her grandfather and pressed on.

Rigel's eyes widened as he was taken back to a long forgotten memory.

The king Rigel Ran after a stunning woman white neon green locks. "big sister! come back! can't you see that he is doomed!? the moment he chose to go against those people to save those humans he was doomed for destruction!

The young girl halted her steps and turned to glare at the king behind her. "Take care of our people, i will join hands with him to save the humans."

"you'll be killed!"

The girl smiled and kept on walking towards the blinding light, "trust me, Rigel."

<<

"so, i guess you are her daughter..." Rigel muttered as he smiled. "fine." he said out loud.

"i'm guessing you have a plan?"

Regina returned the smile, "i do, just give me four months with 1 million earth dragon soldiers, trust me."
