Watatsumi and the Princess
by: Carole Rae
Princess Alexandria awoke with a start.
Where am I? Rubbing her the
back of her head she felt a lump beginning to form and dried blood
intertwined with her hair. Son of a bitch! She
couldn't believe that the villagers and even her own family had
succumbed to that “prophet” and his lying tongue. His words
echoed in her mind, “A dragon this way comes and the eldest
princess must be given to it or it shall consume the entire kingdom!”
Dragons hadn't even
been seen in over a century, so this “prophecy” was completely
ludicrous. At least that's what her belief was. Perhaps her beliefs
were biased as to she was the eldest princess out of her sisters. She
sighed and heaved herself up to a sitting position, “Are you
kidding me?” They left her half naked with a fresh new tattoo
running down her arm as a message to the dragon telling it that she
was the sacrifice they were giving. With a growl she stood up and
looked around her. They had even left her on the Waterfall of Wisdom,
which happened to be the highest point in the entire kingdom, to make
sure the dragon actually saw her.
Kicking a rock down
the Waterfall of Wisdom, she grumbled, “I can NOT believe this
happening to me! When I get my hands on you 'Prophet' I'll kill y--”
She was cut off by a roar in the distance, “Great.” Turning
Alexandria looked and seen the outline of a dragon hovering near the
setting sun.
With another roar
the dragon began to advance on her. She paled and tightened the loose
pink material around her. This was real. The prophecy was real! The
Prophet was telling the truth! This was going to be the end! At least
the safety of her kingdom will be because of her. That thought
comforted her. With a contented smile she closed her eyes and waited
for the moment the roaring dragon would take her life and leave her
people be. However, the moment seemed to last forever. She strained
her ears, but she couldn't hear the roaring or the wings swooping.
Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked to the sky. The dragon was
gone! The surging hope inside of her was drowned out by a dark and
sensual voice, “Much lovelier than I expected.”
Alexandria's smile
disappeared as she spotted the keeper of the voice a few feet in
front of her. His looks were those she didn't recognize but for some
reason her blood boiled and her eyes couldn't leave his form. His
hair was as dark as night and piled a top his head. His eyes, perhaps
small and slanted, were deep and entrancing and at this point filled
with lust. Trying her best, she hide any of her emotions as she
asked, “Who are you?”
He snickered, “The
evil dragon claiming his sacrifice. Now, tell me your name.”
“Princess
Alexandria....your sacrifice.”
He bowed low and
smiled up at her, “Nice to meet you, my princess. I'm Emperor
Watatsumi. We must leave now if we wish to arrive at my kingdom
before morning.” Returning to his regal stance, he offered his
hand.
Alexandria glared,
“Wait, wait, wait. What is going on? The dragon was suppose to take
my life in order for the safety of my home.”
Watatsumi slowly
took his hand and touched her flushed cheek, “I am, Princess
Alexandria, I am. You're life is no longer yours. It is mine because
you are to be my wife and my empress.” She paled yet again and was
speechless, “Now come.”
She wasn't allowed
another word or even a full thought before Watatsumi swiftly
transformed into a large and dangerous dragon and carried his
sacrifice away to a kingdom thousands of miles away.
