Athena's Pov

I woke up due to the excruciating pain I felt when I turned around, changing my sleeping position. I winced in pain as I sat up. I looked at the left side of the bed and saw Rose, she sat on the floor with her head on the bed sleeping soundly. I was on her bed since it was a bunk bed and mine was up while hers was down.

I got down from the bed, taking the bed sheet, I used it to cover her, and I left the room and came out of the Servants quarter, my back hurt like hell as I staggered towards a flowering tree where the moonlight was strong, standing underneath it. I felt the urge to come out here but why? As soon as I stood under the moonlight I felt an immense pain in my neck, where the Dragon Tatoo was located, it was as if I was burning, but only on my neck. I couldn't help but touch it and when I did a flash of memories... no, a memory is when past experiences are remembered, this was so much different, it was something that I had never experienced yet. This was more like a... Vision and I collapsed on the floor.

At the Dragon Kingdom, in the Queen Dowager's room. Queen Irene woke up with a loud gasp after seeing some visions and as if the Dragons saw it too, they all roared at once that their roars shooked the whole kingdom. King Darius came in followed by Prince Felix and the crown prince.

"Mother, What are you doing, is this you?" King Darius asked standing ten feet away from his mother's bed where she sat, panting hard. He had assumed the roars of the Dragons were because of his mother.

"What a relief, I thought Grandmother died." Prince Felix said with a sigh earning a look from everyone in the room. The queen dowager and Prince Felix were more like cat and dog, they always teased each other and she was very tough when it came to him. She was his favorite person but he masked that with his taunts.

"Am sorry but I can't seem to die no matter how much you wish for it." Queen Irene said in a humourous tone and Felix scratched the back of his neck.

"Come my king." Queen Irene said as she outstretched her arms to embrace King Darius, who went in her embrace. He pulled away shortly, demanding answers for the Dragon's uproar. He sat on the bed beside her, she held his hands in hers.

"What is it, Mother?" He asked with concern evident in his eyes.

"Our legacy continues, it will not end, the line of the Dragon-keepers will extend from generations." The queen said and King Darius raised a brow.

"I don't understand a word you say, Mother" King Darius said with creased brows.

"The Moon Goddess has blessed us, My king. She revealed to me... your long lost daughter, a dragon blood princess who has awakened. The dragons and I sensed her at least now I can die with a peaceful heart." Queen Irene said. The old queen looked happy and energetic, it was as if whatever she saw filled her up with energy, A few minutes ago, she was weak and could not move an inch, now here she was holding Darius's hands in a tight grip.

"Mother, stop spouting nonsense, are you trying to rub it in my face that your son, the mighty Dragon King Darius is impotent and without a female daughter?" King Darius stood up running his fingers through his hair.

"No My king, do not misunderstand me, I don't know how, but you indeed have a Dragon blood princess, your daughter." Queen Irene said, tears of joy now rolling down her eyes.

"But that is impossible, How can His Majesty have a daughter? It makes no sense." Prince Felix said and a slipper was thrown at him, which he dodged skillfully.

"I am the one saying this, can't you hear the roars of the Dragons, that confirms it, I sensed her and the dragons did too you little brat!!" The queen yelled at Felix with a tsk.

"Your Majesty, I think the Queen is right, I mean the roars cannot be a coincidence and it at least confirms the presence of a dragon keeper who is not the Queen's dowager. We should at least check." Crown Prince Devarn said and the queen nodded, agreeing with him.

"I do not want to get involved in this amphigory, you should handle it then Devarn, Find your so-called Mystery sister." The king said angrily and left, feeling insulted by his own mother.

"Where do we even start looking?"Felix asked throwing his hands in the air. The old queen walked to the crown prince and held his face flashing a bright smile at him, she was eighty-five but looked sixty, it was as if time slowed down when it comes to this special female royalty known as Dragon-keepers in their kingdom.

"You can feel it too, we all share the same blood, and I know your father does too. This Dragon-keeper is... She's unlike any other, I can feel her immense power, she's what we need, find your sister my grandson, and I will make sure nothing hinders you from becoming king before I die."She said then pulled away, turning to Felix.

"Walk me back to my bed." She authoritatively said, glaring at him.

"Argh, Let Devarn do it, I'm so tired to walk an old lady back to her bed." Felix, the unserious and humourous prince said. Before he knew it another slipper was thrown at him and this time it hit him right in the groin which made him groan in pain.

"I might be old but we can all agree I am still superior to you, so address me with respect." She said.

"I can't wait for my mystery sister to replace you so you could die and leave ME in peace," Felix said with a girly screech as he held his stomach while Devarn chuckled at the two people who were each other favorites but could not stay in the same room together.
