The Dragon's Fight

Anne T. Thyssen Fantasy

“We are just trying to make sure you actually will be able to be crowned queen,” Liam said. “Going to war … many die.”
I could see the pain in my brother’s eyes. He had before been sent out like the rest, fighting against other humans trying to take more control over the lands. My father could not have such traitors running around causing trouble for him, so my brothers had been sent out together with a big army and had taken care of these things. I had seen only half of that army return. Sadly.
“I can protect myself.
“You have never fought in one!” Liam said.
“Now I will …”
“Laelia …”
“Am I the white dragon, or are you?” I asked him.
He sighed, closing his eyes for a little while before answering,
“You are.”
“And am I the one who will sit on the throne ruling the North and the South?”
“Yes …”
“Then why should I not fight in this war? I can’t speak to these people asking them to give up their lives, if I am not even willing to risk mine!” I said.
“But they aren’t the future queen!”
“No, but a queen is nothing without her people! I cannot ask them to risk so much if I am not willing to fight along side them. They are my people and I will protect them with everything in me.”
***
Laelia now knows the truth about everything. Her uncle's betrayal ... She needs together with Ashes and her brothers to find help around Acardia and assemble an army ready to fight her uncle, who now rules the North and the South, but things are never easy, and making people go to war, is harder than she believed it would be.
Ashes brothers are dead, but sadly the crown is still not his. Him and Laelia stand stronger than ever, but the two of them are again pulled in different directions.
Will the two of them finally be able to sit on the throne together? Or will this war take everything from them?
