Eternal love of the red dragon

"What I don't understand is why she is listening to the king when she is herself and not being controlled," Vivian said and Claire sighed. 

"That very question I have been asking myself too" she replied. 

'Maybe he has something on her" someone said as they walked in and Ash turned around then smiled for it was Jack. 

'Where have you been?" Ash ask3ed and they hugged. 

'I have been busy taking care of my job as a prince, there's a lot to do back home, they are putting up defensive barriers and so on" he responded. 

"It's good to see you guys, been a while," he said. 

'That's for sure, but you came at a very wrong time, though we can use the help, Lilith is on her way here and god in heaven knows what she will do" Ash replied and Jack frowned. 

'So the rumors are true the phoenix is going rogue?" he asked. 

'I won't say rogue but sort of not the same" Ash responded and Jack sighed then patted him on the shoulder. 

"Do you love her Ash?" Jack asked as he pulled Ash aside and the prince sighed. 

'We don't feel that way for each other besides I think she likes someone else" he responded. 

"Well, why are you guys still wearing the rings?" Jack asked. 

'Because she does not want to break it off, I am simply waiting for her to make a choice" he responded and Jack. 

'This is one complicated relationship" Jack said. 

"Tell me about it" Ash replied and Jack sighed then patted him on the shoulder. 

'I am sure things will be just fine" he said. 

'Yeah I hope so too" he replied with a frown. 

'Ash you kids go relax, we will take care of the army, we have to get those barriers up" the queen said. 

'How In such little time?" the king asked and Ash sighed. 

'Gather the fairies, they will help protect the city" Ash responded. 

'Yes I am on it" the king said then left. 

'Well I will go take a short nap, you guys get something to eat of you like" Ash said.   

'No, it's fine, we didn't sleep much last night, rest will be fine" Vivian replied and the others agreed with her. 

"Mom please show them to their rooms," Ash said. 

'Come on kids" the queen replied and she took them to their rooms. 

"Vivian are you okay?" Marlene asked and the girl sighed. 

'I am fine, don't worry about me" she responded. 

"You kids are brave and I know LIkith, I have known her since she was a little girl and you have to believe she won't cross her limits unless she really has to," the queen said as she went to the west side of the castle and showed them to their rooms which were right near each other. 

'What are you saying your highness?" Jasmine asked and the queen sighed. 

'I am saying sweetheart that there might be more to this than just what we are seeing" she responded and Vivian's eyes widened. 

'You might be right" Vivian said. 

"I am right sweetheart, that girl is one of the people with the purest heart that I have ever met, Lilith went through a lot, more than any one of us in life and it won't be a surprise if she is doing this for a reason but we need to stop and get through to her before she crosses all limits and it gets too late" the queen replied. 

"You might be right about all of this, we will wait until she gets here and try one last time," Vivian said and the queen smiled. 

"Now you guys sound like her friends and not her enemy" the queen replied and Vivian smiled. 

'Thank you" Vivian said. 

'You are welcome" she replied and they went into their rooms as the queen left. 

'Lilith I hope the queen is right because none of us wants to fight you" Vivian said as she threw herself on the bed then yawned. 

"Man I really am tired, a short nap won't hurt," she said to herself then closed her eyes and a few minutes after the girl slept away.

"Val, the water is starting to get really rough, want to slow down a bit?" she asked as she came on deck and Val smiled. 

"It's my magic the reason the ship is going fast, don't worry I will handle it, you do want to reach there by nightfall right?" he asked and she nodded yes. 

'Good then there is nothing for you to worry about" she responded as she looked at the water. 

'Be careful your highness" a knight said and she smiled. 

'Thanks" she replied then looked up at the sky as the air started to get really cold. 

'Where are you going?" Rex asked as he appeared before them. 

'How do you keep finding me?" she asked and he smiled then she sighed. 

'It's really irritating" she said. 

'So you say" he replied and she sighed. 

'What do you want Rex?" she asked. 

'Why are you going after Ash's home?" he asked. 

'Thye have a great stronghold, we'll be really well for my father when the time is right" she responded. 

'You do know that you will be fighting against your friends right?" he asked and she looked at them. 

'I take it they are already there, that must be your doing" she responded. 

'Guilty as charged" he said and she looked at him sternly. 

'What? disappointed?" he asked. 

'Not quite and your answer is yes I will fight them" she responded. 

'Are you really sure about that?" he asked and she folded her cuffs then looked at him. 

"Yes I am, that's all you need to know, now leave" she responded. 

'Okay," he said. 

'Wait, how is Cosmo?" she asked and he smiled then looked at her as he placed his hand against her face and she looked at him then he sighed and she moved his hand away.
