[LUNA LAWSON]

I woke up to the smell of burnt wood. Staring around the town, I knew the dragons had invaded the new village again.

I ran, slaying every single damn dragon creature that had invaded our lands.

First they killed my father, who was the king. Now they're abducting all the females of our kind.

The humans were beautiful, which is why we never left the tower gate nor went hunting. It was mostly the men who hunted and returned home to feed us.

How long are we going to continue running and hiding from these beastly creatures that can shapeshift into humans and dragons and fly?

Someone has to stop them, but who? I asked myself as I turned back, dressed like a male warrior—which I am not.

My other five sisters had all been taken away, and I was the only surviving daughter and heir to the Sunfield kingdom.

Burning with rage, I stopped and drew my sword to face the dragons.

I was trained as a male because my father didn’t have a son, and my mother lost hope after my birth and killed herself.

I had to take up the courage to train as the son my father never had, since those beastly dragons couldn’t be killed easily; their skins were strong.

I waited for the dragons to show up, knowing they had returned to this new hideout of ours to kidnap the females again, those they could perceive.

All they wanted was to mate with us human females, but how did those females they had previously captured survive?

Obviously, it wasn’t that they agreed to sleep with a dragon man and conceive a dragon baby.

They were forced, and I cannot imagine what those dragons forced upon those young, pretty females they had captured.

They didn’t capture the ugly ones, and of course our women weren’t ugly.

But still, they aren’t satisfied with all the women they had captured, as they kept returning to capture more of us.

The first day they came into our palace, they killed and burned down the guards. I wasn’t home, as I had gone for my training where I learned how to fight like a man.

It seems the rumors had reached their dragon king’s ears that the human ruler had many pretty daughters, and he targeted my family.

All five of my sisters were gone, and I knew there was no hope of them returning home.

The Sunfield palace was burnt to ashes when I was only fifteen years old.

Now I am twenty-two. I tied my bandana around my head and put on my warrior clothes.

Picking up my bow and arrows, I fixed them into their respective places on my manly dress, and I went out holding my sword up high to face the dragons again.

These dragons terrorize the whole town, believing humans are weaklings. I couldn’t even differentiate the dragons from our men; it was difficult, and that was how intruders invaded our lands, since the dragon men were also handsome.

Some were dark, while others were yellow, their skins so enchanting and sparkling clean like a shining glass surface.

I had trained to study the dragon men, and because I dressed manly, I haven’t been captured and taken away.

Our men fought pretty well, but they were still no match for the dragons who breathed out fire.
