The Dragonian Series

“You really went to the other side for me.” It wasn’t a question, more of a statement. One that was struggling to sink in.
He lifted my chin so I could look at him and smiled. “When will you get it, Elena? Not even death can keep me away from you.”

“I’m sorry that I took so long,” he said.
“It’s fine. You had to find them. Just promise me next time you have to do something like that again, I can fit in your bag.”
He chuckled. “I’ve promised this way too many times, but this time, you have my oath.”
I smiled. He would never leave me to go do something like that ever again. He’d sworn it with his entire being that he would take me with him

“It is done, and if anyone mistreats the Dragon Law again, they will be brought in for a hearing and sentenced by me. From now on, no dragon will ever not have a say when it comes to hearings. We fought years for them to have a voice, we killed our kind for them to have a voice, and we lost a lot of good men for them to have a voice, and lost really brave dragons for them to have a voice. My dragon belongs at my side, and no hearing or meeting will ever tell him otherwise. They will be addressed accordingly as they deserve. To gain that title, it’s something that cannot be bought, only earned, and nothing can take it away. Now, if you’ll be so kind as to excuse me, I have a world to run.”
My father stood, grabbed my hand, and bowed again.
The entire hall burst into applause.
Goose bumps flushed my skin as everyone got up, everyone except Duclin, that is. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen, and for the first time I didn’t regret saving my father from Etan.
A smile appeared on his face before we walked out.
I smiled again as I thought about that day. It was the first day I’d met my father’s patient side and his side that had given him the title of The Greatest King That Ever Lived.
