INTRODUCTION.

My name is Zurah, Queen of the dragon world. I am nineteen year old dragon, you all must think I am pretty young to be a Queen, but it isn’t my fault. My father and mother, who were the ruler of this world, died a long time ago in a battle against wolf, but I have this strong feeling that they are still alive, I have these dreams every night, were my mom and dad would beg me find them and save them out of torture which was really bothering me.

I also had two older siblings, who fought at the war and yep, I still have terrible dreams about them. I had to ask the kingdom's priest to look into the matter and she tells me that she has no idea. I just hope I find them one day.

It was a sight I never which to see again. I became a queen when I was just eight years old. Believe me when I say life was hard for me, like crazy hard, before I became the ruler, I had to fight with strong men who wanted to take my father’s position and I fought with all my strength which led me to six months in coma. I began my training when I was just one year old. If not for my dad's brutal training I would have lost the throne, and I really missed him.

I was know to be a fighting machine at the age of six. I was able to beat them all in the battle and then I used another six months to learn all about being a ruler.

I have been poisoned so many times, till the extent I got immune to any type of poison. I was treated too much; my dragon couldn’t take it anymore and had to take control of every poison and her name is Lira. She said I should say hi to you all.

My best friend is Jian whose mom is my dad’s sister who became my PA at the same age. Yeah, you can say we are cousins. The best of the best.

I never knew what it was like to have fun, because I was always hooked up with meetings, royal boring parties, decisions, and many other royal duties. My life would have been so boring if not for her.

Ten years passed while growing up with my best friend, AKA my personal assistant. The best friend anyone could ever have.

We`ve been friends since we were born and I ani’t kidding cause her mom and my mom had labor at the same time gave birth to us at the same time and when we both saw each other we instantly clicked and her mom and dad took me as their child ever since my parent passed away. our father died in the war.

Now I am in the garden with her having wine. ‘so, I have decided?’ I spoke. Jian looked at me with a confused look on her face. ‘what do you mean?’ she asked.

She frowned at me and I chuckled ‘clear your frown my good friend or you would have ugly wrinkles, well, I have decided and I don’t think you would accept my decision, even the elders would disagree.' she looked at me, confused 'what do you mean?’

I looked at my best friend in the eye and gathered all my courage ‘I have decided to hand over the throne to you for some time in search of a mate and come back with him to become the next king.’

Jian looked at me with a shocked expression and then she roared ‘have you gone mad Zuhra, how can you hand over the throne to me just because you want to find your mate’ I looked at her blankly and then she got down on one knee ‘forgive me your highness for such behavior.’

I sighed and spoke ‘rise, you are forgiven. I know it’s hard but you have to do this for me Jian. I need a little time for myself, I have been ruling for ten years now, don’t you think I deserve a break and also find love, let me know what it really feels like to be loved.’

‘so, the love me and my mom have for you isn’t enough.’ She said with a disappointing look.’ of course the love you and aunty have for me is enough, but the love I need now is………………..’ I signed. ‘ I don’t know how I’ll explain it to you.’

Jian looked at me. She couldn’t utter a word. ‘so, the throne would belong to me, just like that’ I stood up and said ‘yes, just like that. And I also want you to prove to your mom that you’re responsible. I said and she chuckled.

‘Your decision doesn’t sound right but the elders would decide’ she said and stood up ‘thanks, send for the elders, they should all report to the Green room.’ She bowed ‘yes your highness, as you wish’ we chuckled and she left. I also left the garden to get changed.

The Green room is mostly were decisions are made, meeting is done and punishment are given. It has been in the dragon world for centuries. I went out of the garden and into the palace. ‘tell Sorbet to get my car ready, the destination is the Green room’ I said to a palace guard and he nodded. Sorbet has been my personal guard since when I was born and he is a very loyal ice dragon.

I went into my room and my personal maid was already in my room with my clothes. I guess Jian must have informed her. I changed into a dark purple long gown and my shiny silver long hair was let loose. The crown was placed on my head and some diamond jewelries. I looked stunning. There was a knock ‘knock, knock’ ‘who may it be’ I spoke with coldness in my tongue. ‘Sorbet, your royal highness, your car is ready’

I stood up and the maid opened the door for me. I got out and he bowed down. ‘let’s go’ I said. I Jian met on the way, she was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt and a white pant with a black boot. ‘love the boot; I said ‘thanks’ she said and smiled.

I entered the car and Jian followed. The car began to move ‘the elders are already on their way, in the next twenty mins they should be there, while us, it might take an hour.’ she said and I nodded. ‘but Zurah, don’t you think this decision is a little bit too much, I mean, no one has ever given the throne to a commoner before’ I looked at her ‘don’t you ever call yourself a commoner, you are my personal assistant, my best friend and most imporntantly……….my sister. I’ll be the first, when we get to our destination, we would do more than deciding, we would crown you as queen till I get back.’

Immediately I said that she hugged me and I hugged her back ‘thank you for trusting in me, I love you.’ She said ‘I love you too.’ We didn’t bother to speak again and the ride was silent till we got to the green room. We arrived at our destination and the door was opened ‘your highness, the elders are settled and are ready for your arrival’ Sorbet said.

He helped me down and I thanked him. He helped Jian down and we both went into the Green room. The door was opened and my eyes met the elders. Ten elders. They all stood up. I walked towards my sit and sat down. ‘you may all sit.’ I spoke with authority and they obeyed. ‘refreshment should be served’ I spoke and from my right-hand side there was a door flew open and five maids came in with biscuit and wines. They served everyone except me cause am on a diet. I was brought a fruit juice. They left and we began our meeting. ‘you all must be wondering the summoned you all hear.’ I said in an authoritative voice. ‘yes, your Grace, we wondered why you called us.’

I begin again ‘as you all know, this kingdom as only a Queen, but needs a King. I haven’t found my mate and I need to find him as soon as possible. I, that means I didn’t want to scare you all but I have been becoming week lately and would have to search immediately. You all know my birth prophesy, right?’.

They all nodded ‘yes your Grace, you are to be mated with a wolf, not a dragon, because your child be the most powerful, even a tribrid can’t defeat him or her. They even have the power to change the world, into good or bad.’ I nodded in agreement. ‘yes, so I have made my decision’ I saw a frown on some of the elders faces, while the others were confused. ‘what are you saying your Grace’ I took a deep breath ‘I have decided to give the throne to Jian till I get back. She would be in charge of everything till have returned, with or without a mate’
