I awoke to the smell of burnt wood. Looking around the town, I realized the dragons had invaded the village again. I was running and slaying every single dragon that had invaded our lands. First, they killed my father, who was the king, and now they're abducting all the women of our kind.
The humans were beautiful, which is why we never left the tower gate or 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 shape-shift 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, though I was not one. My 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 took her own life. I had to muster the courage to train as the son my father never had, as those beastly dragons couldn't be killed easily due to their strong skins.
I waited for the dragons to show up, knowing they had returned to this new hideout of ours to kidnap the women again, whom they could sense. All they wanted was to mate with human females, but how did those they 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 did to the young, pretty women they captured.
They didn't capture the ugly ones, and of course, our women weren't ugly. But still, they weren't satisfied with all the women they had captured, as they kept returning to capture more of us.
The first day they came to 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 the dragon king's ears that the human ruler had many pretty daughters, and he targeted my family.
All my five sisters were gone, and I knew there was no hope of them returning home.
Sunfield palace was burned to ashes when I was only 15 years old.
Now I'm 22. I tied my bandana around my head and wore my warrior clothes. Picking up my bow and arrows, I fixed them into their respective places on my manly attire and went out, holding my sword high to face the dragons again.
These dragons terrorize the whole town, believing humans are weaklings, and I couldn't even differentiate the dragons from our men, as it was difficult. That's how intruders invaded our lands, as the dragon men were also handsome.
Some were dark, while others were yellow, and their skins were enchanting and sparkling clean like a shining glass surface.
I had trained to study the dragon men, and because I dressed manly, I hadn't been captured.
Our men fought well, but they were still no match for the dragons, who breathed fire. So whenever the dragons invaded, the men allowed them to take their daughters away without doing anything to stop them. But no! Enough of the cries.
"Stop there!" I commanded, and the two dragons turned to face me.
"Eh, mister! Get out of our way. We are here for the pretty females, not masculine men like you. Now move aside before I burn you to ashes."
"Hmm," my eyes darkened at one of the dragons who spoke to me, as I had golden-colored eyes that burned with anger.
In a swift, sharp move of my sword, I somersaulted forward and sliced the dragon man by his throat, killing him instantly. He let out a shrill cry, but as his companion tried to burn me alive in shock, I sliced him too, killing them both and rescuing my people.
"Hurry! We have to leave this village. If the other dragons find out that these two didn't return to their king, we would be in grave danger, with a battalion of dragons chasing after us!" I screamed, letting all the people staring at me in shock know.
