My Dragon System Chapter 305 - I am the prince

Chapter 305 - I am the prince

Riding on top of a large back wolf, a boy could be seen but it wasn't any boy, it was Van. Tasked by Ray to escape from the battle scene, he had no choice but to leave.

Van felt incredibly guilty, right now everyone that was fighting back there, the students who had gotten hurt, the students that had even died, all of it was because of him. Right now though, he had the chance to save them all.

"Coem on girl," Van said, "Let's go home."

As the city was now in sight, Noir sped up even more and eventually the guards had spotted her.

"A Beast is coming towards the city, activate the orbs." A guard shouted.

Then the floating orbs above started to come out towards the two of them.

"You can leave me here girl I'll do the rest," said Van.

But instead of stopping or slowing down, Noir decided to speed up even more.

"Wait, the orbs will hit you, leave me here!"

She was now moving faster than the whole journey here, like she expected something like this to happen. Saving her energy for the last leg.

The circle orbs started to move forward and as they got closer to her, they started to light up, then when it was within striking range.

Zap*

A little ball of lightning came blasting out, Noir managed to jump out of the way avoiding the strike, but then more b.a.l.l.s started coming forward and more lightning bolts were shot out from the Orbs.

Noir was doing well avoiding each of the strikes.

"I've never seen a beast so fast, will it be able to reach the wall?" A guard said.

"In all my years here, I've never seen a single beast reach the wall." The leader said.

Noir continued to avid the lightning strikes but each time they would strike closer and closer, so much so that Van could now feel the heat emitting from them.

However, without even realising it, the orbs had surrounded her and were now behind as well. She jumped once more to avoid the strike in front but then was. .h.i.t on the leg behind. She howled in pain and immediately stumbled to the floor.

"What did I tell you?" the leader said.

The lightning bolts had now all surrounded Noir and another one zapped her again and with it, came another cry of pain.

"Stop it!" Van cried, "She was just trying to help."

Van started jumping up and down and waving at the guards stationed up on the wall but it was no use, they were still quite far away and unless they used the crystal scope they wouldn't be able to see him.

Strays often came out of the forest from time to time and would try to attack the city. The guards would usually never bother using the scope for a single beast unlike with the horde of harpies from before.

The orbs were also programmed to only attack beasts and humans were completely off the radar. They could be reprogrammed with a magic circle in times of war but right now it was only designed for beasts so Van remained complete safe.

Several orbs were now drawing closer and soon Noir would be burnt to a crisp.

"You tried helping and now I need to help you."

Van then stood by Noir's side with both his hands held out, waiting for the next lightning strike. As it came he moved his hands in a certain motion and at the same time, the lightning strike moved with it and away from the beast.

With each strike, Van moved his hand in response redirecting the lightning to a different direction, making sure not one of them would touch Noir. It had been a long time since he had used his abilities and it was more tiring then he thought, he didn't know how much longer he could keep this up.

"Sir take a look at this, it seems like the lightning strikes are no longer attacking the wolf." The guard said.

"Take a look through the scope and see what's going on?"

As they activated the scope and pointed it into the direction of the Wolf lying on the ground, they could see a student redirecting all the strikes away from the beast.

"Quick, call back the orbs, that's a student from Roland! it might be one of the missing students." The Leader shouted.

They did as tasked and the orbs were pulled back, finally, Van could rest for a few moments. The guards came running out form the city walls with their weapons drawn just in case the beast was hostile.

Van wasted no time as the guards approached him, he reached underneath his blazer s.h.i.+rt and pulled out a metal badge.

"This here is the mark of royalty, I here Prince Van of the Alure kingdom demand to be taken to see the queen."

Upon seeing the crest the guards immediately bowed down. "Your highness, we're sorry we didn't know it was you."

Van then commanded the guards to call a meeting with the queen. While Noir was to be taken to the stables to rest and be treated by their top Vet. After waiting at the wall for a short while inside, a carriage had arrived and out of it came the queen escorted by two men in white robes.

She went inside the City wall and in one of the rooms, Van was patiently waiting at a table. There was food out in front of him prepared by the guards but he hadn't taken a single bite.

"Van, I'm so glad your safe, I heard you were missing and I feared the worst, the whole Academy has been in an uproar since your cla.s.s disappeared."

"About that?"

Van then explained quickly what had happened to all the students, and how they had been teleported to the Shadow continent. It was a frightening tail and the queen couldn't believe her ears about everything she had heard. For the longest time, she thought if Van was safe anywhere it would be inside of Roland but she was wrong.

"I will do as you ask and ask for help from one of the Tower masters immediately."

As the queen started to leave, Van had stopped her to ask one more question.

"Mom, about the person who saved me and sent me here, he said to say to you, he has completed his mission."

"What did this boy look like?" She asked.

"He had red spikey hair and a constant frown on his face, a little bit shorter than I am."

The queen then smiled.

"And how has Roland been, before this mess did you make any friends?"

He thought it was an odd question to ask considering the situation they were in. but then he started to think back, about how many times Nes had tried speaking to him, how Max was always upbeat and cheerful when greeting him and even Bliss had on multiple occasion engorged him and protected him.

Van Smiled back.

"Yeah, I've made some good friends."

"Then it looks like he really did complete his mission then."
