Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"Huh? Human do you really think you are in a position to say anything? This is my dragon clan territory, not your human territory. How are you to tell me what I can and can not say? Take back my words? Hah! Truly laughable! I will never do such a thing for a lowly life form. What is wrong with calling a sorry excuse for a dragon a dir..."

*Bam!*

The prideful dragon had no idea what had just happened. All he knew was one second he was degrading a little half breed dragon and then next he was being sent flying through the air smashing into the side of the mountain. The last thing he saw before blacking out was a figure of a young human girl floating in the air in front of him with an angry expression.

"Humph! I gave you a chance!" Alicia said as she dusted her hands off floating in the air in front of the dragon. She then grabbed its tail and pulled it out of the mountain side before flying back to everyone else.

Loeri looked at Alicia with a grateful expression. Alicia had never treated her like a contracted beast. She always treated her like a friend and sister. "Thank you..."

"Why are you saying thank you? Loeri we have known enough for so long you are my family. No one is allowed to disrespect my sister. Come, let's go say hi to these prideful dragons." Alicia said with a smile. Loeri smiled back and nodded her head. contemporary romance

The group continued up the mountain like before except this time Alicia was dragging a dragon by its tail behind her not caring if its head smashed off a rock or not. They had only walked for an hour when another voice came from the sky. "May I ask if I can take this young one from you, little miss?" 

"Not until he apologizes to my sister. This young one as you called it has been pretending to be asleep this entire time. Tell him to apologize and I will let him go. Otherwise..." Alicia squeezed the tail in her hand tightly causing a small grunt to be heard from behind her. The said young one was sweating buckets. He did not realize he had stepped on the strange humans reverse scale and ended up being slapped silly. In truth, he had woken up ten minutes later but when he found that he was in the hands of the scary human he dared not move. He had no idea that she knew he was awake the entire time. "So will you apologize?" Alicia squeezed the said young one's tail even harder.

"My tail! My tail! You're crushing my tail! I'm sorry. I'm the useless one, I'm the trash of the dragon clan!" The said young one cried out in pain. The dragon in the sky felt like facepalming after listening to his own kind beg for mercy like this. 

Alicia gave a snort and tossed the dragon over to the dragon in the sky. "You know, my sister is from the dragon clan. She had sensed dragons here on this mountain and wanted to see if her parents were here. I never thought your race would act in such a way towards one of your own kind. Whether she made a contract with me or not is not for you guys to judge. She was left in the demonic forest to fend for herself for hundreds of years until she met me and was able to finally gain her freedom. So who abandoned who is quite clear. She never abandoned your dragon clan, it was your dragon clan who left a young dragon to fend for herself." 

"This… It seems we are at fault and there are rules about such things as well. If a dragon was left to fend for themselves then forming a contract with a human is allowed. I apologize for the early remarks this young one has said and thank you for being lenient on him. May I ask the young miss's name? I am Darktorn, an elder of the dragon clan." 

"My name is Alicia, Alicia Von Alastine. Third Princess of the kingdom of Alastine. You may just call me Alicia since I am not here as a princess but as a sister helping her sister look for her parents." Alicia replied.

Darktorn smiled. Just by Alicia's words alone he could tell Alicia cared a lot for Loeri. "Then allow me to escort you back to the clan. Are all of you able to fly?" 

"I will have to trouble you then and to answer your question, yes we can." Alicia answered.

"Then follow me." 

Alicia and her group all rose into the sky and followed after Darktorn up into the cloud bank. Lightning could be seen flashing all over except for the area they happened to be flying in. It was as if this one section of clouds was a path within the clouds that was safe to travel. This flight took almost thirty minutes when Alicia and her group finally broke through the clouds above only to be stunned when she saw a massive floating island hovering over the mountain peak. The whole floating island was surrounded by more clouds so unless you flew in from above you would never actually see this floating island. It was a true paradise for a race who wished to hide from the world. 

"Truly a breathtaking sight. I never thought I would see such a paradise. The entire island looks like it is from ancient times." Alicia couldn't help but comment as she looked at the floating island with tall majestic ancient stress and vines growing all over the place on top of it. She really found the place to be amazing.
