《Dragon Princess》Chapter 5 - Eniel
Advertisement
In the stary sky of the night, the two moons are shining upon the forest and reveal a peaceful scenary which is broken by the sight of a running 8 years old girl.
The girl is dressed in a tattered white dress and is running away from a group of bandit which attacked her village to sell them as slave.
The girl possess doggy ears and tail; she is a part of the demihuman race which is mainly used in other country as slave because of their high physical ability.
Her village is located in the country of 'Holy Kiel'; a small country which is among the few one where demihuman have the same right as other race.
Because of that you can find demihuman in abundance which lead to many raid from bandit and slaver in order to sell them in other country.
The doggy girl have blue eyes, fluffy brown tails and ears; she lost her mother at birth and her father was killed when he resisted to the bandit in order to give her time to escape; she had no brother or sister, she lost all her family.
The girl is running with all her might, but even as a demihuman the bandits are faster than her because of their horse.
She is tired; she have nowhere to go and even if she escaped, she know she would probably die from hunger or devored by monster inside the forest, but she didn't want to let the sacrifice of her father become meaningless.
The girl arrived in front of a giant cave full with claw mark all over the wall, the claw mark were made by a gigantic creature which probably lived inside.
She hesitated to enter the cave, but the bandits are right behind her, she is crying, tired, and out of breath.
She have to choose between a life as a slave, or to maybe die devored by a monster; the girl slowly start to enter the cave...
As she entered the cave, she saw a big grey dragon sleeping; in this world, the dragon are the most powerful race and some of them are so powerful that they can single-handedly destroy a kingdom as long as a Medium god isn't involved.
The girl frozed in front of the dragon which was still sleeping, she forgot about the bandits; but they didn't forget about her and rushed in the cave with their horse.
The noise made by the horse woke up the dragon which glared at them, one of the trait of the dragon is that they hate being waken up by anyone.
The bandits at the sight of the dragon tried to turn back, but it was too late, a blue firebreath came out of the dragon's mouth and not even ashe remained from the bandits.
The dragon turned to the girl and stared at her, the girl knew that she couldn't run away, she would be far too slow and the dragon would kill her like he did with the bandits.
She then remembered a legend her father told her one day, about a woman named Lunien who was given in sacrifice to a dragon which spared her after singing all night.
The girl started singed, at the begin it was with a weak voice, but she mustered her courage and sung with all her soul, she knew it was stupid to follow what a legend said, but she had no other choice than that.

The dragon stared at her with an astonished face, but then lost interest and decided to kill her, but he was stopped by a voice coming from under his wings.
??? : "Mommy, Daddy..."
The voice belonged to a half; a dragon half with pure silver hairs which became black at the end, the half was dressed in a red dress which stopped at her knee, the dragon looked at the little half between his wings, that girl was crying all night but stopped after hearing someone singing.
The little doggy girl never saw someone as beautiful as her, she was charmed and walked in direction to her while completly forgeting about the dragon who was glaring at her.
She slowly approached the sleeping girl and patted her hairs, they were smooth like silk; as she patted her, a smile began to form on the face of the sleeping girl.
The dragon stared at the situation and judged the doggy wouldn't hurt her, he went back to sleep leaving the two half together under his wings like nothing ever happened.
The doggy after patting her for one hours fell asleep from exhaustion.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
When i woke up, there was something touching my hair, it felt like a hand; i slowly opened my eyes and saw a girl a little older than me with strange ears and tail, she have short brown hair, her ears and tail looked similar to a dog's one and are of the same color as her hair.
They look similar, but i wonder how they feel; I really want to know, can't... control.. the urge.....
I finally started to pat her ears, the feel soooooo smooth and fluffy, just like a real dog, the girl make some strange sound as I cuddle her ears, I wonder how her tail feel like...
Her tail feel even smoother than her ears, now the girl's breath is running out of breath; she woke up and stared at me with a crimson face and panting.
With her tail out of my hand, I woke up from my half asleep state and started to look around, Verlox is staring at us with an amused face in his human form.
Shina : "Verlox, who is she?" I asked him, after the urge of petting her was gone, my though worked normally.
Veralox : "I don't really know, she came in the cave last night with pretty noisy people who I chased out. I wanted to throw her out too, but for some reason I think she should stay here for a while."
Shina : "You, what is your name? " I asked the girl, it would be better to call her by her name instead of 'you'.
Girl : "My...my name is Eniel, wh..where is the dra...dragon from yesterday?"
Veralox : "It would be me..."
Eniel : "Dragon can take human form?"
Veralox : "There are a lot of think you mortal dont know about us or even magic..."
Eniel : "I.. I see"
Veralox : "I will go get some clothes for you later, for now you will have to stay with your ragged dress."
Eniel : "Thanks" She said in a weak voice.
Veralox : "For now, I need to speak with Shina, you should stay here for a while, you can run away if you want, but you have more chance to survive by staying here than travelling aimlessly in the forest."

Eniel : "Okay..."
Eniel just went sitting at a side of the cave againsn't the wall and stared at us.
Veralox :"How do you feel about yesterday?" He asked me with a worried voice.
I remember yesterday beeing beaten by a black haired boy who called me an half, but I dont know why i feel like it doesn't bother me; I feel pretty good even though I was beaten badly...
Shina : "I feel calm about it, I am just curious as to why he called me a half and beat me."
Veralox : "It is because dragon's are a proud race, before I continue, I should tell you about how this world work; this world is the first and oldest old your parents made, they first tried to create a life which look like them, that was how they made me, the first dragon and the Dragon God, I was made with the power of both Light and Darkness, this is why my color in my dragon form is grey.
Your father then made the Goddess of Light which is worshipped by the human and the angel; your mother made the God of Darkness who is worshipped by demon, but also by some human. They are at war for supremacy since they were made, but I am not interested in their petty conflict...
I am the most powerful among the three of us and I am worshipped by the dragon, the race made at the image of your parents, they think it is an honor to be the first race to have ever existed and can't allow their blood to be mixed with the one of another race, for them it is a disgrace for the whole kind.
And in your case, your apparence is the one of a half."
Shina : "It explain why they are dragon in the star, but why did they never reveal they true form to me?"
Veralox : "It is because you lived in a world where you were human, you would have been scared if you the first thing you saw was two dragon holding you when you woke up"
Well I imagine that if you wake up with two giant dragon around you when you first though you died, yes it would have scared the hell out of me...
Shina : "Are there other god like you?"
Veralox : "Yes, there are a lot; they are formed from people's believe but are not as strong as the 3 of us.
They are classed in strengh; Lesser gods, Medium god, High god and finally Primal god. The Primal god are me the Goddess of Light and the God Of Darkness. We are far stronger than any god and wouldn't be defeated even if all other god tried to fight us.
There are also spirit, they rule over the elements, each elements possess a Spirit King; their power should be the same as a High god, if not a little stronger."
Shina : "Is there a god for people like that doggy girl?"
Veralox : "No... the two other Primal god think of demi human as impure, because of their mixed animal blood and punish all gods who tried protect them; the god fear the wrath of the Primal gods, and they are right."
Shina : "So they have nowhere to live?"
Veralox : "There are some country who accept demihuman like the one we are in; and from what I learned yesterday, it look like a demihuman country was founded 800 years ago; but it is still a small one, if attacked, they wouldn't be able to hold an invasion.
For now, you know the main thing about this world, you will learn the rest in our travel."
Shina : "Travel? Are we gonna travel around the world?"
Veralox : "Your parents asked me to show you this world; you came from a plain world, they though it would be a good experience for you to life in a world like this one"
I feel like in an anime; dragons, demihuman, magic and a mysterious world; I can't hide my excitement
Shina : "When are we gonna go?" I tried to ask without showing my emotion, but I guess the big smile over my smile betrayed me...
Veralox : "In a few years, they also asked me to send you to school, I could teach you more than they would; but your parents wanted you to experience as many things as you can and to make some friend there too."
School? I never went to school because I was considered as a genius and was taught at home... On the TV they said it's a boring place, but it looked pretty fun... I always wanted to make some friends there.
Shina : "What about Eniel? Will she come too?"
Veralox : "She has nowhere to go, I will inscribe her as your bodyguard, I will send you there tomorrow and she will come after a few months, after training her and making sure she can protect you."
In short, she will become my body guard, that girl lost everything and have nothing left; all what I can do for her is to let her stay beside me until she can live on her own...
As I approached her, she began to look at me, her tail began to waves around like a dog's one, I wonder if it's connected to her feeling... I want to cuddle it... No.. I have to control the urge...
Shina : "Hey, If you don't have anywhere to go... Will you follow me?"
Eniel : "Follow...you?" She asked while staring at my face, I could feel she was hesitant about it
Shina : "If you don't have anything left, I will take care of you... You can think of me as a friend, or as a sister" I told her with a warm smile
Eniel : "Sister?..." She replied weakly, she had tears dropping from her eyes
She suddenly threw her body and mine and hugged me and the ground; she was crying loudly... All I can do for her, is to wait for her calm down while stroking her hairs...
