Dragon Reincarnated (Working title)

Making a Dream Come True

There wasn't much this Amanda lady could do after that. Though she kept her insincere smile in place I saw a cold anger enter her eyes. She was about to say something- I didn't know what- but we were interrupted by yet another person clearing their throat.

This time it was an older man dress in a full set of knight's armor, shimmering in the light. His white hair, and wrinkled face were the only indications of age, however. This man stood tall and strong, spine straight, eyes hard, and clearly didn't seem to being going through any hardships in bearing the weight of all that metal covering his- no doubt- toned body.

He may have looked to be in his late sixties, but I was willing to bet that he could still take on Loric without much issue.

"My deepest apologies for interrupting." He rumbled, almost like he were the dragon here. "But, His Majesty is waiting within..."

Oh, right... The king. Probably not a good idea to keep him waiting, huh?

"Come Allura." Said Leon, patting my scales and putting on a some what forced smile of his own. "Let Serenity and I introduce you to this Kingdom's great king!"

"Yes, I would like to meet him." I said, removing my eyes from the princess's mother rather reluctantly. It felt sort of like letting my prey go right before I was about to pounce on it. "Lets go."

In a sort of procession, the older knight led us up a short set of marble stairs and past a grand set of double doors, carved from some kind of white wood. What ever tree it came from must have been massive, given that each door was one solid piece, and, given the way the grains matched on each door, I could also assume that they were two sides of the same slab. If such trees still existed, I would like to see them.

Beyond the doors was just as grand. Maybe even more so! As I walked, Leon on my left and Serenity on my right, I gawked at the black and white marble floors, marble pillars and arched, carves ceiling. Every few meters stood a pair of knits, stiffly keeping guard, not moving an inch. Though, i could see their eyes following our slow march.

As we walked I saw that there were many doors and paths leading off this long hall, artfully hidden by pale blue curtains, or the marble pillars. I also was caught by the many paintings lining the walls, depicting kings, knights in battle, and most of all: many dragons.

I was really getting excited now. It suddenly felt that I had enter a fantasy world for real! Which was silly. I was a freaking dragon after all. But now I was inside a palace!

Actually... Now that I thought about it, this was the first time I had entered an actual building since arriving on this world. At the duke's I was in an outside, covered, pavilion of sorts, and in Straum I was sleeping out back. I remember thinking that being inside would feel claustrophobic for me, yet I didn't feel that was at all right now. Maybe it was because this palace was clearly built to accommodate dragons of even greater size than myself.

Reaching the end of the very long hall, I found myself standing before another grand door. This one appeared to be poured out of pure silver some how, intricate designs of dragons in flight around depictions of Helios carved all over it. I didn't get too much of a chance to have a good look at it, however. Right then there was a loud bang, drawing my attention to two uniformed guards I had been to distracted to notice. One of them had smacked his large spear against the door, causing a huge clanging noise that had made me jump.

At my side Leon chuckled softly. "Easy now.." He whispered, teasingly. I glared playfully down at him, my ribs to jostle him slightly. when he staggered a little, holding in a laugh, Sillia smiled at me kindly.

"Allura." I heard the older knight whisper to the guardsmen, which made me wonder why he was talking about me.

The guard's booming voice in the next instance revealed to me the true need to give the man my name. " Their graces, the Fourth and the Fifth! Accompanied by the young royals: Prince Leon and Princess Serenity! Also, the most esteemed and elegant, Dragon Allura!"
