The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

2

Roman couldn't move. Yes, he knew about the existence of the Dragon Witches, of course he did, he was the prince for cryin out loud! But he also knew they were extinct! Or at least that's what everyone told him!

He stared at the guy, completely petrified by fear remembering the gruesome legends he was told about his kind, as the glowing died down and his eyes went back to normal.

Virgil could see out of the corner of his eyes Nyx smirking and chuckling to herself, but when he noticed how scared the princely guy actually was, his eyes turned worried.

"Nyx stop laughing, I think we broke him." He said through the link, making the creature roll her eyes.

"Oh come on, it was hilarious! He's just a little scared!" The dragon laughed again, stopping only when she noticed Virgil's glare.

They looked at each other for a second, before Nyx huffed in annoyance, once again rolling her snakelike eyes.

"Fine. I'll turn around and lay down, you do your thing and calm him down before he has a panic attack."

After she did as she said, Virgil adverted his eyes back to the guy, who was once again trying to slowly scoot away towards the sword he dropped after seeing him glow.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his mind focused on Roman as he mumbled a small spell under his breath. Immediately a soft blue hue started to shine dully around him, leaving his body in small concentric circles.

Roman froze, feeling his whole body relax as soon as the light circles hit him; his eyes were wide and his skin still pale, but somehow he looked... calmer. He felt calmer.

"W-what have you done?" He whispered when the light died down.

Virgil smirked, opening his eyes to look at him.

"It was a calming spell." His smile vanished when he saw the prince was still terrified and ready to run. He sighed, ignoring the small spark of sadness in his chest.

"Okay, listen: I know you're terrified, andò considering the fact that you're the first human i came in contact with in decades, my social skills aren't the best, but here's the thing: you either let us help you, or you'll die."

He knew he was being harsh but he couldn't think of any other way to make him understand.

"You'll- you'll kill me?!" Roman freaked out making Virgil facepalm and sigh heavily.

"Woah, he's dumb as shit."

"Shut up Nyx, he's just panicked and you know it."

"I do, but he insulted me, so I'll give back the same treatment."

The Dragon-Witch shook his head at the pettiness his dragon was showing, cutting off the mind link and going back to the royal guy in front of him, who was still looking at him terrified.

"No, we won't kill you. On the other hand if you don't let us help you the wound on your side probably will."

Only then the prince seemed to remember the pain in his torso, his hand going to touch it gently, wincing in pain at the slightest pressure.

His face paled again when he saw all the blood on his hand, his lips quivering and his body shaking. He didn't want to die.

Slowly, Virgil kneeled infront of the royal, looking into his eyes.

"Hurry up moron" grumbled Nyx, making the darkly dressed guy shoot a glare her way.

"Shut up, I know what I'm doing." He lied, turning back towards the prince.
