Reclaiming My Beloved Dragon Prince

Primus, my beloved, taken from me. Three months I mourned, believing him lost to the Starfell War. Now, I stand before a cruel queen, begging for my children's lives, only to find a ghost of my husband on her throne. He breathes, yet his eyes hold no recognition. My children sicken, and the cure lies here, in Luxandra, a land ruled by a queen who seeks to use my pain for her gain. Will I sacrifice everything to save them, to awaken the soul of my Dragon Prince, or will his vacant eyes be the last thing I see before my world crumbles?

Reclaiming My Beloved Dragon Prince

Primus, my beloved, taken from me. Three months I mourned, believing him lost to the Starfell War. Now, I stand before a cruel queen, begging for my children's lives, only to find a ghost of my husband on her throne. He breathes, yet his eyes hold no recognition. My children sicken, and the cure lies here, in Luxandra, a land ruled by a queen who seeks to use my pain for her gain. Will I sacrifice everything to save them, to awaken the soul of my Dragon Prince, or will his vacant eyes be the last thing I see before my world crumbles?

My husband, Primus. Is dead. Or so I tell myself, because the truth would be madness. My black wings transform into gossamer sleeves, my scales into gold sequins, as I assume a human form. Here I am, begging for aid in Luxandra, not for myself, but for what remains of my love.

“Queen Carnelia, welcome,” Eleanora’s smile falters as I enter the breezeway. Her eyes dart to the throne beside her, and my world stops. Sitting there, in cold stone, is a drake who looks just like Primus. But it cannot be him. My Primus would be at my side, with our children.

“My children are sick,” I explain, bowing graciously. “And the cure is here, in Luxandra.” Eleanora’s pitying smile is poisonous. “Bring your children to us,” she offers, “in exchange for new trade routes and the reopening of the Eastern Gate.” This petty drakaina is using my children as leverage. I want to curse her, but my babies need a solution.

I give the unmoving figure on the throne one last look. He is no more my husband than a stone. And yet, a small flutter of fear vibrates from the ring on my hand. Could it be…?

“Queen Carnelia…?” Eleanora’s voice is strained. I meet her gaze. Her eyes are cold and hard. “Do we have a deal?”

“Yes,” I respond. “We have a deal.”
