The Dragon Princess
Chapter 3: Prologue: Part Two
Elina coughed and pressed her palm against her stomach where she felt a burning pain. A piece of wood had lodged itself into the side of her stomach. Blood now coated her hands and her already bloodied tunic. She heard the boy suck in air at the sight and feebly opened her eyes. She was growing weak and tired. Her energy was drained. the glow in her eyes was merely just a flicker now.
"Save yourself. Go. I'll heal soon." She said softly and tugged on his shirt which was starting to get crimson from her bleeding.
His unusually bright blue eyes which reminded her of the ocean, stared at her own honey gold ones rather unsure. Slowly his grip on her loosened. He let go of her and got up. Elina slowly propped herself against a pile of stones, the only remains of the house that once stood in its place. She hissed in pain as she carefully took out the piece of wood. She would heal but with her energy drained out, she doubted if it would be on time. She was sure one of the dark soldiers would find her and kill her even she managed to heal. She bit her lip hard, drawing blood, when a sudden shoot of pain coursed through her body. Though a great mage, she was still a five year old child who barely reached up to the height of her father's waist.
Beings that possessed magic like herself were much stronger and grew up faster compared to the humans - mentally and physically. Though they did stop ageing normally once they reached the adult age. She wondered if Fin would find her and take her to the Guardian Agatha that her mother mentioned. Elina was almost in an unconscious state when she felt something wrapping around her stomach.
"Can you stand?"
It was the same blue eyed boy, she realized with a start.
"Why are you still here?" Elina squinted at him.
"You saved my life once, it's now my turn to return the favor. My mother taught me that a Prince always puts his people and kingdom before himself."
'Prince? From where?' Elina thought to herself.
"My dragon Fin should be around here somewhere. You should be able to recognize him by the royal crest on his saddle. He's a mixture of green and blue." She told the boy, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I think I see him. Come on, just a little farther."
The boy was strong for his age. He supported Elina's weight on his back and managed to walk them to Fin without getting spotted or burnt. He helped Elina onto Fin and hauled himself up, a moment later. Elina was surprised that Fin didn't object. He usually didn't take well to strangers.
