She took my hand, Uncles hand, and followed us to where Payton was standing. I handed Uncle the egg and climbed back onto Zara's back.

"I'll see you later. Please put the egg in my room under my bed"

Zara took off running and finally took off.

"Have you ever thought of what your life would be if you never met me, Emilia?"

"No I never wanted to think about it. I think my life would be sad and I'd still be on the Island" I said

"I make everyone happy"

"Yes you do"

I ran my fingers down her scales as she flew through the air.

"We are we going?" she asked

"To a blacksmith"

"Why?"

"So he can make me a sword"

"Oh but why do you need a sword?" she asked

"Just in case anything happened, I can be protected"

"But I can protect you"

"Zara if you get hurt, I'd never be able to forgive myself" I said

"But Nicholas is your protector"

"Yes but he needs to be a real family with Miss. Mary and Katie"

"What about you?" she asked

"I have you and we're going to fly around the world"

"How come?"

"The Government isn't here anymore, people are going to start wars, and as their Queen, I have to stop it" I answered

"But what if something happens to you?"

"I'm immortal nothing serious can happen"

"You may be immortal, but I am not" she said

"I won't let anything happen to you"

I guided her down to a different town where we landed in the woods.

"You may want to shrink down so no one can see you" I whispered

She shrank down and hid in my pocket. I slowly started to walk in town without people looking at me.

"It's the Queen!"

I waved to everyone as I walked to the blacksmith.

"Can I help you your majesty?"

"Can you make me a sword with Dragons blood in it?" I asked

"Can you get me the blood?"

I pulled Zara out of my pocket and placed her on the table. I took a knife and gentle slid it a crossed her tail. I watched as the blood slowly drip into a cup.

"Ow that hurt"

"Sorry but it's for the sword" I said

He grabbed a piece of hot metal and started to hit it with a hammer.

"So how come you want a sword?" he asked

"I have a feeling that there will be a war soon. So I want to be ready"

"That is very smart for someone your age" he said

"Thank you"

He purred the blood on the sword and then heated the metal again.

"What are you going to tell Nicholas?" Zara asked

"I'm not going to tell him anything until a war actually happens"

"And if one does happen?"

"I will tell him that I am sorry and that it is my duty to protect everyone" I answered

"Here is your sword Queen Emilia"

He handed me the sword wrapped in leather.

"Thank you sir"

I handed him a bag of coins, picked Zara up, and walked outside.

"Let's see how it looks" Zara said

I slowly unwrapped the leather and slid it out of the sheath.

"Amazing" I whispered
