[LUNA LAWSON] I stood my ground without shaking as the dragon man walked up to meet me and stopped directly in front of me. I could see my people visibly trembling, afraid of what these dark men wanted to do to me. "Hmm," he hummed as he walked around me. I didn’t shake or show fear, waiting for him to open his mouth and burn me to ashes, since he was a dragon. "Strip!" he commanded, and I froze. "What?" I asked, meeting his red eyes. He stopped in front of me, and I could still see the surprised looks of disbelief on the faces of the other four dragons. They had all shapeshifted to look like us humans, and they were shocked to hear I was a woman. "You heard me correctly. Now strip!" he commanded again, and my blood boiled hot as I saw the look of refusal on my people’s faces. "Do not think I have time to waste here with you. You actually sliced the throat of a royal dragon guard. How powerful are you? So I need to confirm if you are truly a female or a male, so I can decide your punishment here and now before taking you to our king," he said. "Hmm," I hummed. "Okay," I agreed, and the dragon man smiled. I saw his red eyes light up like coals. "Go on," he said as he moved backward. I took up the courage to start stripping. Taking off my shield first and my warrior garment next, I saw their eyes almost pop out of their sockets. They were all surprised that I was truly a woman—a pretty, hot woman at that. I saw the dragon man’s eyes burn redder, and he licked his hot lips seeing how huge and full my bosom was. He approached me, but I was unshakable. Even though I was a female with natural endowment, I was still brutal and ruthless. When he attempted to touch my breast, forgetting I was still holding my sword, I sliced off his hand, making him scream out, "How dare you?!" But he didn’t slap me nor burn me; instead, he waved his other hand to his four men, telling them not to interfere. I thought the man was going to kill me, since I had sliced his hand off completely from his arm. But to my shock, he picked up his right hand that had fallen to the ground, from the elbow down, and he fixed it back onto his arm. It magically healed. "I see you’re a princess. How interesting that the last princess of Sunfield has been disguising herself as a man all this while. You cannot kill me, Princess. I am the king’s brother, and I am of royal dragon blood. Aaron Diego!" He smirked, and I felt dread run down my spine, but I couldn’t speak. I was still in shock that he knew I was a princess. He walked quickly to me and this time collected my sword forcefully from me. He carried me up, not minding that I was bare and without clothes, and took me away while I struggled on his strong shoulder to get free. "Put me down!" I screamed. I finally fell to the soil, but he transformed, picked me up with his leg, and flew away with me. The rest of the dragons followed, taking me to their dragon king. He said he was the dragon king’s brother, and I kept struggling to break free from his tight hold. I didn’t care if I fell into the river as I saw the large ocean beneath us that he flew over. I would have preferred to be eaten by a shark rather than by a dragon king. Arriving at their dragon kingdom, I was amazed that they had houses like us humans. Beautiful houses, not huts or tents like the few we created for shelter, but towering houses while we were the ones running away. I was captured by night, so by the time we reached their dragon city it was already day and sunny. Many of those dragons started coming out of their various houses to peer at us. Aaron flew faster than the other four. Arriving at a towering building, he landed on his feet while I became ashamed. I saw the eyes of all the people gathered, staring at me as I was bare. "Your majesty!" Aaron held a bright smile on his face as I cursed under my breath, without any clothes. I stared at the front of the castle, trying to use my hands to cover my breasts, but they were too big. I became utterly embarrassed. I saw a tall, mascular man step out from the towering building. His eyes fixed on me as our eyes met. He gulped and looked at a guard with grey hair. I saw the grey-haired man snap his fingers, and two female dragon women walked out to meet me. I couldn’t tell if they were humans or dragons; the females looked cute and brown-skinned. They thankfully brought me wrappers, but they weren’t smiling as they dragged me away after wrapping me like a loaf of bread. I stared back at the male dragon who dripped authority. He had long golden hair, and my eyes burned at him, meeting his sharp blue eyes again while I saw Aaron walk up to meet him. "Face where you’re going!" the two strong-armed females commanded as they dragged me roughly. I knew escaping from them wouldn’t be easy. I was hoping to see my sisters, and my mind raced with varied thoughts. What did they use my elder sisters for? What did they want from me, and where were they taking me? They followed another side of the mansion and took me upstairs. I thought they were taking me to the dungeon or prison, but instead they took me upstairs with them as we climbed the flight of stairs. My mind was confused about what they really wanted to use me for. Did they want to cook me? "No!" I screamed. "Let me go!" I fought with the two strong females, surprising them as I stepped hard on them and somersaulted backward. I didn’t care if my wrapper came loose or not; I wasn’t ready to be cooked yet. "What has come over you? Do you think you can escape from us, or that we are humans?!" they cursed after me as I ran away while they chased me. I ran through another door, not minding which side of the mansion I had entered. I needed to hide from them, and escaping from the towering building was my only solution. Luckily for me, there weren’t many guards in the house, and I wondered who the grey-haired man and the golden-haired man were. Which one of them was the dragon king? None of that mattered; hiding was the only thing I needed to do to finally plan my escape. As I approached a door, I quickly pushed it open and went in. I stared in horror at the beautiful golden bedroom I had just entered. These dragons were rich—how come? I froze as I stared at the king-sized bed. It wasn’t made of wood but of gold. Every part of the mansion reeked of gold, and I assumed it was probably the golden-haired man’s bedroom that I had stepped into. "Damn it!" I cursed out loud, and I immediately heard footsteps behind me. Not knowing what to do, I ran into his wardrobe, hiding inside the large closet and ensuring the clothes would cover me. I needed an explanation for how these dragons were so rich and had so much wealth while we were poor and hiding in shadows. "Your majesty!" I heard the two females run up to meet the footsteps that had stopped. I recognized their voices. "What is it?" he replied, but I froze. His voice made me shiver inside the wardrobe. "Your majesty, the new female has run away and is hiding somewhere around here." "Hmm," I heard him hum, followed by silence. Then I heard the room door closed. I didn’t know if he had left or if he was still there, since I couldn’t see out through the wardrobe door. I was sweating, and I kept wondering what was happening between them.
