4She opened her eyes to the sound crickets and owls. Synder lifted her head from her front paws and sleepily looked around. During the time she was outside, it had become nighttime.
Her body froze as she heard someone climbing the tree she was in. She dared not move lest she be killed in an instant.
"Synder?" She looked behind her. Her heart began to beat fast. She tensed even more when she saw the one who called her. "Synder? What happened?"
Link sat in front of her, blocking her only safe way down.
"Synder? Please." He reached a hand out to Synder, palm up, but not touching her. She didn't blink, or move. "Please?" He said in a soft, pleading voice.
Synder slowly crawled over to Link and sat on his lap, rubbing her head against his chest. Link wrapped his strong arms around Synder's small body.
"Don't listen to what they say. They're not really sure on how to react with a dragon now." He consoled her. She whimpered as a small tear fell down her small head. "I heard what happened Synder. I'm sorry if the guards were bothering you. They're stupid." He chuckled, remembering how cowardly the guards had been for a little longer, not talking, not moving, just enjoying the comfort they gave each other. "Let's go back, Synder." He whispered.
Link let go of the dragon girl and jumped down from the tree. Synder followed.
"Synder. I want you to stay in this form and walk next to me, okay?" She stopped and looked at Link, scared. He kneeled in front of her and placed a hand on her cheek. "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." He said with a small smile.
There were gasps.
There were whimpers.
"Excuse me? Mr. Hero?" Link turned and saw a little girl looking at him, nervously.
"What is it, young lady?" He asked. She looked at Synder.
"Can I pet her?" He looked at Synder with a soft smile.
"Sure, why not." He guided the girl to Synder, standing a few feet away. The young girl held out a hand to Synder, hesitant. Synder crouched down, scared. Her big violet eyes stared at the young girl, warily.
The young girl hesitantly touched Synder's head. When Synder didn't move, the girl continued to pet her, with a smile on her face. Synder eventually got up and softly rubbed her head against the girl's small chest. The girl giggled and hugged Synder. The dragon's wings wrapped around the girl in a hug.
A crowd began to form around Synder, the young girl and Link.
"What is her name?" "How old is she?" "Where is she from?" People began to ask Link.
"Please, excuse us. We need to see the Princess." The people moved to the side to let Link and Synder walk to the castle.
"Hello, Synder, Link." Zelda greeted them.
"Hello, Zelda." Link said as he and Synder walked into Zelda's room.
"You two must be cold. Dinner will be ready in about an hour. Why don't you two get ready? Synder, you will be our special guest since you helped save the knights and Hyrule. I will have someone attend to you both shortly." Zelda said as she led both to where they were to bathe and get ready.
Link sighed as he relaxed in the bathtub.
I wonder why Synder didn't run off to another place. I mean I'm glad that she stayed why did she?
He finished bathing and finished getting ready for dinner. There was a knock on the door to Link's room. Synder came in wearing a black floor length dress that had a white ribbon around her waist, with a bow on the back. Her hair was in a high ponytail and was tied with a white ribbon. There was the click of heels as she walked to Link. The dress was long-sleeved and was a bit low-cut. He blushed as he stared at Synder.
"You look... beautiful, Synder." He ran his hand through his hair forgetting that he had to continue to get ready.
Synder walked to Link and made him sit on a stool. She got the brush and began to brush his hair. Link closed his eyes and leaned back as Synder's soft hands fixed his hair.
Why is it that I've never been so relaxed before?
Link sat on Zelda's right, Synder to his right. Everyone in the room had a high position, except Synder. This is why she was very nervous; unsure of what to do.
A plate was placed in front of Synder. She saw that it was her mother that had given it to her.
"Just follow everyone else" she whispered, "you'll be fine." Emma winked at her and continued passing out the plates. Synder saw that it was a salad. She looked to Link for help.
Synder was able to get through most of the dinner without any problems. It was time for the main meal. She's hardly eaten anything since she does not know what to eat. Her mother gave her another plate. She did not know what the food was, but it smelled good.
Synder stood abruptly, startling everyone.
"Synder? What's wrong?" Link asked.
She walked to Zelda and threw the plate on the floor.
"Synder! What are you doing?!" Link yelled at her.
Synder turned to her medium-sized dragon form.
"She'll kill us all!" On the many people in the room screamed.
"Synder! Please, stop!"cried the Princess.
Synder jumped on the of the head counselor, pinning his arms and legs.
"GET HER OFF OF ME!"
She began to bite him. She was thrown off and trapped into a magical cage Zelda created.
"Head counselor! Are you alright?" Link and Zelda were surprised. The man's clothes were thin, which would have been easy for Synder to damage him, but she didn't.
There was a small clinking sound along with the rustling of cloth.
Link looked back at Synder and saw that she had dropped a small vial. She gently pushed it out of the cage. Link picked it up and looked at the label on it.
"Princess." Link showed her the glass vial.
"Does this belong to you, Head counselor?" Link asked, turning to the man that was being helped up.
"Yes, it does."
"Then you were trying to poison me?" His eyes became wide at the accusation.
"Wh-what are you talking about?! Why would I try to poison the princess?" Zelda turned to Synder.
"Synder, how did you know this is poison?" Zelda asked the dragon-girl.
Synder opened her mouth slightly and something green and solid dropped onto the floor of the cage. It began to burn the floor slightly.
"You can use poison, so you can smell it as well?"
The dragon nodded.
"Guards!" Link ordered. They grabbed the counselor. "Take him away."
"Synder? What's wrong?" said dragon was curled up into a ball and had closed her eyes.
"She's tired. The cage takes away her energy to prevent her from trying to escape."
Zelda released the spell as Synder became human again. Link carried Synder bridal-style to his room and placed her on his bed.
"Link?" Zelda walked into the room right after.
"I'm worried about her, Zelda." Link explained to her as he sat with his face in his hands and elbows on his knees. "It's almost like ever since she's been with me..."
"Link. Why don't the two of you go to Ordon? Try to get to know more about each other. That way you can see if she feels like its your fault or not."
I am so sorry for the little wait. But school is starting soon and I've been very busy. Not only that, but my grandparents are also here. They are leaving today, so now I'm starting to have time.
