Excuse the spacing the main characters name is pronounced AWN-YA

I stood in the watch tower looking out seeing our new home. It was the Kingdom of Tryst ruled by King Nicholas. I huffed a puff of smoke as I hated the idea of moving into a humans territory, though it had come to this as King Nicholas was hunting down all Faye.

The story goes that King Nicholas at the age of fifteen still a prince had fallen madly in love with a witch; who he got pregnant out of wedlock.The royal family was outraged for he was betrothed to a Dutchess from the isles of Norsetra. The young witch was said to have been killed by the royal family, yet it is known she escaped with the help of the Faye never to return to her beloved, bearing his child.

The Queen at the time Queen Judith and her husband King George had their son punished for tainting the royal bloodline by whipping him like one of their workers. The King soon rose to power as His father became ill due to unknown reasons; he blamed the Faye as he claimed they were angry with him for his parents choice of out casting his lover.

The King did marry his betrothed now Queen Rohesia, who was outraged that there might be a challenge for the throne. The Queen was expecting a son as it was the talk of Kingdom; Rohesia however, wanted this child to be found and murdered if it was a boy.

The witch would of had the child by the time the King was sixteen, the King was now twenty six. The child would be ten by now, though the law of the Faye stated if the child is abandoned to its Faye parent; the child was now under full protection of the Faye. The King found this out by one of the leaders in the wilderness as story goes it was one of the Troll leaders. I however doubt that since the trolls hate the humans since in the old times they were hunted for their hide by them.

The King then declared a hunt, to find his b*****d child even if it meant destroying all of the Faye.

That is why the dragons are getting involved. Many of our kind were meeting to arrange who would go where, I was apart of the mountain dragon clan our people were ruled by Queen Adelaide.

She had taken the throne young since her parents had fallen in battle one year ago in the first year of the humans kings hunt.

The Queen had summoned the council and decided a few of the families would move into the humans territory; so we could know where they planned to hunt and get the Faye out to one of the safe territories.

I did not want to move yet my father was one of the leaders of the council, so he saw it as his duty to go. I sat down taking in the last bits of home as I knew we would not return for a long time; the humans had no idea that dragons could take human form. The worry was if the younger ones could maintain form long enough to fool the humans.

I did not understand the humans much, all they had to do to get the child was ask the witch coven. This bloodshed was nonsense, everyone in the Faye world knew who the child was and knew if it was boy or girl. The King just had to go through the coven and ask for the child, not to kill but to see we are a peaceful race.

I climbed down from the tower to head home, mother would need me to help with the twins as well as packing up our home. I hoped that this all would end soon though dragons are immortal unless you know our secret though knowing the humans the Queens parents death was a fluke.

I guessed more or less the humans for one lucky shot, it is our one weakness besides that we are immortal.
