Restless
Stepping outside, Scarlet lets out her wings and flies off with the King following suit, both of them fully transforming into their draconic form once in the air. Despite having a shoulder height of about four meters when standing up and a length of about six meters without her tail, Scarlet still looks small in comparison to her dad who is about five times as big as her.
Soaring into the air, Scarlet lets out a loud roar and her father follows suit, causing animals and monsters alike in a wide radius around them to run away.
“Why did it have to be them!? Why did she have to suffer under those monsters!? What kind of life did she go through if getting whipped by a leather whip instead of a metal one means she thinks of her father as kind!? ROAR!”
“I completely understand your anger, Scarlet but she’s with us now. She’s safe.”
“But what are we going to do papa!? They obviously didn’t want her dead or else they wouldn’t have cursed her so what if they want her back!?What will we do!?”
“We’ll protect her! I’ll rip and tear off the limbs of every dirty Elf trying to drag her back to that hell! ROAR!”
Meanwhile on the ground, Sher Aka and John run to the wagon, “What the fuck is going on up there, Rayla!?”
“Shh, Rose is asleep.”
Highly concerned, Sher Aka asks, “What happened in here to get this sort of reaction?”
“Rose said she was abused by her previous family, that her father is the King of Tera Flora and that her previous name was Eithlynn Pradia Sol.”
“What!?”
“What!?”
“Shhhhhhh, be quiet.”
In complete shock Sher Aka sits down and asks, “Did she remember everything?”
“No, I don’t think so. It’s more like her filter isn’t working right now. Probably because of the modification of the curse Ifrit and Lum did. What did they call it again?”
Pulling out the notebook she says, “Right, temporary override. I need to write this all down.”
“Hold on a second, Rayla. So Rose has confirmed she was Princess Eithlynn Pradia Sol?”
“Yes.”
“And she was abused there?”
“Yes, severely.”
“Explain, what did they do to her?”
“Her father and her maids used to give her lashings whenever she did something wrong, her maids pricked her with needles and lied about things she did wrong to give her more lashings and apparently people kept telling her she should never have been born. But I don’t know much more right now either.”
Holding her hand in front of her mouth Sher Aka begins to cry and even John looks like he just got the air knocked out of him, “They were lashing her!? A fucking five year old? Those crazy fucking bastards.”
Sher Aka then quickly stands up from the wagon and runs towards the bushes where she begins to vomit. John quickly follows her and holds her hair back while she gets it out.
“To think I lived in a country where the king was lashing his own children. Does this plague of a person have any idea how much a lashing hurts!? I have seen grown men killed on accident and they were doing it to a child! Barf”
After vomiting up some more, Sher Aka takes her shirt off and hands it to John, “Are your scars flaring up again Sherry?”
“Yes. Badly.”
“Sherry…Do you-Do you think the reason she hates her back being touched is because-”
Vomit
“Yes. Huff huff Probably.”
—-------------------------------------------------------
Waking up, it’s dark. My tail hurts.
Whimper
“Huh? Rose, did you get smaller again!?”
“Manya, tail hurts.”
“Your tail? Wait, did you grow your tail in this form too!?”
Manya turns me over.
“It’s there…No wonder it’s hurting, it's stuck in your pants here let me cut open a hole.”
Manya uses her nail to cut open my pants and my tail gets out.
“Rose feel better but Rose so itchy.”
“Yeah, you’re already mostly covered in scales. They look nice and milky, which means your molt should go smoothly.”
“Rose want milky.”
“We don’t have any milk with us right now, Rose.”
“But manya said milky! Rose want milky!”
“Sorry Rose, we just don’t h-”
“I’ll go get some,” Papa says.
“Yay, Milky!”
“Shhhh Rose. People are trying to sleep.”
I put my hands on my mouth and whisper, “Rose too loud?”
“Just a little but it’s fine. Do you want to chew on my arm for a bit while we wait?”
“Gao!”
Chomp
Manya and Rose cuddle more then papa come back, “I’ve brought you some milk my dear.”
“Yay, milky!”
Drinking the milk it’s nice and warm, “Yummy! Rose tired now.”
“Then go back to sleep my dear.”
“Okay, night papa.”
“Good night, Rose.”
Wake up. Ouchie on back.
Whimper
“What is it oko?”
“Back ouchie.”
“Back ouchie? Eh!? Scarlet, wake up!”
“Huh?”
“Look!”
“Eh!? Could these be your wings Rose?! Here let me get that shirt off.”
—-----------------------------------------------
Rose, now the size of a three year old, is completely covered in milky white scales. As Scarlet removes her shirt she finds two pairs of wings on her back. Rather than Dragon or butterfly wings they look more like a mix of both and are shaped like dragonfly wings. Similar to Dragon wings they do have a bone connecting to the back but instead of a skin like membrane making up most of the wing they have a rainbow colored insect like membrane.
—------------------------------------------------
“Two pairs!? Papa, come look at this!”
“By Ifrit's xxx… Two xxx of xxx…They look xxx too. Rose, can you move them both?”
“Yes!”
Flapping my wings quickly I fly high but manya hold back.
“Be careful Rose! You’ll hit the ceiling.”
Rose fall down but ane catch.
“Rose tired.”
“Then try to go back to sleep, oko.”
“Okay…”
