Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: The Thief

"Do not move!" I told Killeh

The Daemon stared on the ground, not moving, it was even shaking. Flames of fire came out from the nostrils of the Dragon as it stared at us.

"WE DO NOT MEAN ANY HARM!" I yelled to the Dragon.

I looked at Killeh, but the Daemon was gone. Turned around and saw it running uphill on all the treasures, but the portal door was not there, and it jumped over the hill and disappeared. Great bonding. I feel it has bonded with me, and I escaped when I was yelling at the Dragon. When I turned back again, the Dragon was close to me. It just have to put a little flame to freaking kill me.

"I smell human, are you human?" The Dragon said.

I just nodded up and down.

"Interesting, I have not seen a human in a long time. How did you enter? My fellow dragons should have stopped you. Entering my Den with a filthy demon should not be possible, as the Demon's stench should have covered our whole kingdom, and we would have stopped you at the gate." She explained.

I have to think off something quickly so it doesnt get pissed of.

"OH! Holy red Dragon. My name is Zark, of the Van Polan Clan, belonging to the Uzza Clan. I am here to give you a present in the form of a princess."

A wind blew through me when the Dragon breathed out through its nostrils. It closed in on me, pulled its tongue out, and swept up my blood from the ground before answering:

"Interesting! You came here to give a present to the queen of the Red Dragon clan?"

I heard someone whisper 'Kill her' or something sounding like that in a repeat mode. The Dragon lifted its head and blew fire towards the hill of gold, and someone was stamping around on the treasures escaping from the area, and it went completely silent. I tried thinking of the Red Dragon Queen and Rieven was a princess, ah shit! Rieven's mother. Where the Hell is the blue volleyball when we need her?

The Dragon came down again, facing me close up.

"Where is my present then, human?" It uttered.

"I never got your name?" I asked it cautiously.

She moved her head back and forth before stopping and answering:

"Miel, I am Queen Miel of The Red Dragon Clan."

Okay, this is good. Rieven's mother, why should she kill us? Rieven is...sort of safe with us.

"My humble Queen, I came here to deliver the princess of the Red Dragon clan. She is the daughter of Miel, the Queen. We must look for her here in the Den so I can deliver your princess back to you." I tried explaining.

She got up and looked down on the three eggs she was protecting.

"My children are not born. I have three eggs, two of which are princes and one of which is a princess." Miel said.

I looked at the eggs and felt like I had discovered the biggest treasure in my life. No wonder Rieven disappeared when we entered here; she had to be inside one of the eggs. It has to be why she is not here, we are in the past of Rieven's life. That may be why Killeh was in the army, breaking the ties to the big dog with three heads and connecting with another clan...or person. Why am I speculating for? I need to keep moving as I have no clue how much time has passed in the sleeping state. I am alive here, I should be alive in the dungeon. Of course, my back needs a bandage to try and stop the bleeding at least. We took Killeh, finishing the bonding except for the coward shit ran away. Okay, we must find the portal and escape with one of the eggs with Rieven, but which one has her?

"Oh...My Queen! I am so happy for your children. Is it possible for me to watch them closer to see the beauty?"

Miel was quiet momentarily, and it looked like she was thinking.

"Yes, only once will I allow you to watch before I eat you!" She explained.

Great, need to think of something quickly then. Miel moved slightly, exposing the eggs close to a wall, but I noticed several small exits from this area. The problem is that I didn't know where the exits ended up. I moved with my hands behind my back to reassure Miel of no ill will and loosened the chain from my wrist. When Miel watched the eggs momentarily, I put the chain around my waist and pulled it down the end of the chain behind me as it got dragged on the gold pieces on the ground. When I came close to the eggs, there was one with a light red color and two with a light blue color. Damn it, I is covered in white behind the color so I can not even see inside the eggs.

"Oh my Queen! They are so beautiful, if you do not mind my asking, which one has both prince and which is the princess?"

Miel posed weirdly but looked happy with my words about her eggs.

She bent down with her head, breathing on the eggs from her nostrils.

"The first one with blue closest to me is a prince. The light red one in the middle is a prince, and the one on the other is the princess at the end. Move away from my eggs, you will be the first one and the last one seeing my children."

I only backed away two meters, and when Miel gathered a large flame that started beneath her body as she leaned her head backwards, I threw the chain on the egg with the princess and pulled it to my body. Miel looked down and noticed I was holding one of her eggs, and both looked at each other in a moment before Miel noticed I had one of the eggs. She unleashed the fire in another direction, and the third level up to the left started crashing down on the ground. I needed to get to where the wall was before she attacked, and I quickly ran by the other eggs into one of the exits on the other wall. I saw stairs going up and moved up to the second level, seeing Killeh, who was not far away. With all the pain on my back, I ran through an open corridor to Killah, who was waiting behind a wall. Miel saw me, and the pathway behind me crashed down as Miel was already in the air, using her feet to cut me off from reaching the other side. As Miel crashed down my path, I slid on the ground in the last meters. The walls started to shake around us, and we quickly moved through the path and came up on the other side, away from the treasure area. It was just a circular walkpath with stairs going up.

"Killeh, or whatever your name is. Have you seen the portal?" I asked.

"Kill Her," Killeh replied, staring at me in what looked like a serious expression, but I was not sure.

"Kill her? What! No, Pooortal, door." I tried explaining.

"Kill Her?"

I put the egg down and started to make a square with my hands to try and explain the door to Killeh.

"Door! Portal, door! No Kill Her, No Killeh, Door, Escape!"

Killeh blinked several times which made me wonder if the Demon thought I was the retarded one because it didn't seem it understood what I was saying, or because I have just bonded up with a retard Demon that is not even called Demon.

Suddenly, Killeh moved, and when we entered the circled area, it pointed to the fourth floor. It made movements like a square back to me. I looked around and noticed stairs on the other end. The ground shook again, and when we were going to move, a strong wind blew through as Miel came down from above and landed in the middle.

"I KNOW YOU ARE CLOSE BY HUMAN. THE STENCH FROM BOTH OF YOU IS VERY CLEAR, AND I HAVE SEEN THE PORTAL. I WILL NEVER LET YOU ESCAPE FROM HERE WITH MY BABY."

We hid behind the wall and I thought maybe we are screwed, how the Hell are we going to move to the other side.
