The Weak And Helpless (Yona of the dawn)

The White Dragon marched over to us angrily. I bit my bottom lip nervously looking uneasily at his right arm. In a way, the scales looked beautiful as it reflected off the sunlight. I turned toward Yona and nervously tugged on her clock as Hak managed to retrieve his sword.

"Y-Y-Yona....." I stuttered as I tugged harder on her clock not taking my eyes off the White Dragon. Yona looked over her shoulder at me as I caught her attention. "What is it May?" She asked. I nodded my head toward the White Dragon "The White Dragon, look at his right arm!" I explained nervously.

Yona glanced at the on coming man who was quickly closing in on us. Her eyes widened in shock. "You woman!" Cried the man as he approached us. Hak, Yun and many other people in the village turned around to the sound of his voice. Yona glanced at him looking away from me to see who was speaking to her even though she knew it was him.

Yona's hood from her clock falls off her head as she turns around. The White Dragons eyes widen, his right arm grew larger and he hunched over as if in pain. He clutched his hand as though it hurt, I ran over to the White Dragon "Are you ok!" I cried looking at him worriedly.

He screams out in pain and falls backward I scurry around him and barly prevent him from falling, I gently set him down in the grass as Yona stares at him in shock. The villagers who had seen this run up to the White Dragon and shove me to the ground angrily.

"What did you do!" Shouted a village man at me angrily. I stare up at him shocked, I began to tremble and tears polled my eyes as the man glares at me. Was this my fault? Did I do this? The man rises a hand to strike me. I flinch and close my eyes as I see him slam his hand down in my direction but I don't feel anything touch me.

I slowly open one eye at a time to see Hak had blocked the mans hit with his weapon. "You shouldn't go hitting little girls who just helped your White Dragon." Hak growled angrily pushing the man away and grasping my arm gently and pulling me to my feet. I look at the White Dragon a crowd had gathered around him.

I run over and push through the crowd and bent down beside him. His right arm was sizzling hot and it looked burned with black marks on it. I cried beside him guilt racking me. "I'm sorry!" I cried cupping my mouth. The villagers watched as I cried shocked.

The man from earlier who had gone off to get the White Dragon stepped next to me and place a hand on my shoulder. "Do not worry child, I saw the whole thing. You did nothing wrong, you caught the White Dragon as he fell and prevented him from receiving more injures. And even though all you did was help him you apologize and cry for him. Why?" He asked me.

I wipe away my tears and glance over my shoulder at the man and take a deep breath looking him straight in the eyes. " I apologized because I could of done more for him. And I'm crying because he's hurt." I answer quietly. I felt the village people stare at me surprised and I heard the small smirk of satisfaction somewhere behind me from Hak.

"Why do you care? You have never meet him?" The village man continued to ask. I looked away from him and started back at the White Dragon. "I care because, he is a kind person. Even though I do not know his name, or have ever talked to him I know he is kind. The way he approached, it was obvious he though we were a threat.

He was only trying to protect the village he grew up in." I explained. Whispers rose from the people and surprised stares turned to smiles. The White Dragons eyes suddenly began to flutter open the group of village people sighed in relief and stared at him waiting for him to speak. He sat up and looked at Yona in awe. I raised a brow.

"Um, White Dragon?" Yona asked nervously as she sat on the floor in front of him. "Yes, I have inherited the ancient dragons blood." The White Dragon agrees nodding his head. He bent down and bowed to Yona. "I have been waiting for you, my master!" He informed happily. Yona looked at him confused "Master?" She echoed.

Yona glance at me, as if I knew what he meant I shrugged. She turned back to the bowing Dragon. "What are you talking about?" Yona murmured. Gasps filled the air and all the villagers dropped to their knees and bowed down to Yona. The White Dragon still stared at Yona in awe happily as the old man who had asked me the questions when the White Dragon was hurt began to cry.

"Congratulations, White Dragon! Our king has finally appeared!" He whales happily. "King?" I repeated. "They think you're the king?" Hak questioned. Yun who stood right next to Yona spoke up. "Maybe they think your king Hiryuu because you have red hair." The White Dragon stood up as Yona rises to her feet as well. "My Master." He addressed her happily is eyes sparkling.

"Please tell me your name." He begged. Yona still looking as shocked as I felted managed to answer. "Yona." Silence followed as the White Dragon soaked in the word. Yona stared at him and bent over and gave him a nice smile. "Your beautiful." She informed him. He held out a hand in protest as if he though of himself unworthy of such words.

"Not at all! You look far more divine." He protested looking down at the floor as a blush appeared on his cheeks. "I am not your king or your master." Yona continued. The White Dragon looked up at her confused. "I am a scoundrel who seeks the power of the gods to protect herself and her friends." She explained.

Hak smirked at he heard this. "Hey, don't tell him that!" Yun scolded Yona. "I am traveling to acquire the other three dragons, as well." Yona informed still taking to the White Dragon. "I ask that you grant me your power first. Would that be alright?" Yona asked the sliver haired dragon.

The White Dragon blush lightly as he looked at her, he smiled in satisfaction. "There is no greater honor. No matter who you are or what your goals, I am now your dragon." He agrees. He rises his burnt hand to his chest and continued.

"This is what the blood inside me says." He got up turned toward the group of still bowing villagers. "Elder, I will leave immediately with my master." The White Dragon declared pointing at Yona. "Yes, sir." Said the old man nodding his head in understanding. "What are you saying!!!" Shrieked the voice of an old woman.

I turned my head to see a short old woman being carried on a piece of wood with a beam sticking out of each corner. Each corner was carried my a girl as they ran over to us carrying the old lady with them. Weird. The beam of one piece of wood hit Hak in the head he fell to the ground. "We must throw a banquet first?" Protested the old lady as I rushed over to Hak and helped him get up.

Harsh much? "Prepare a banquet to celebrate King Hiryuu's revival!" The old lady continued to protest. "Y-Yes Ma'am!" The Elder agreed and got up and ran off along with countless other villagers in order to prepare of the surprised banquet. The old lady turned away from the scurrying crowd of villagers and turned toward Yona and starred at her wide eyed.

"Red-haired king, we had been waiting for you." The old lady greeted bowing. "Your beautiful blazing hair, wise and lovely eyes and smooth skin...." The elderly lady continued to rant on happily. She pulled out a handkerchief and whipped her eyes as if crying. "I regret that you do not have these things...." She added sadly. Her eyes sight is pretty bad.

The old lady and the White Dragon them left going to go prepare for the banquet as well leaving us alone. Yun looked around at the buzzing town as everyone got to work even little kids could be seen carrying bowls of food ready to be chopped up and put into whatever concoction of ingredients it was supposed to go in.

"Well, this is a surprise. Ik-su's prophecy was right." Yun stated. He turned to Yona. "But I didn't think he would join us that easily." Yona glance at the floor as we walked over back to the tree and sat down leaning agents it's steady, large truck. "When I told him I'm a princess, he was surprised." She muttered as she rapped her arms around her legs.

"You called yourself a scoundrel." Yun added sitting next to her on her right. Yona looked up to the sky smiling. "Yes it's true, I didn't want to lie to him." Yona explained. Yun got a nervous look on his face. "That guy was creeping me out, grinning the whole time." Yun muttered nodding toward Hak who sat on Yona's left side, well I sat in front of her.

Hak had a long thin black piece of cloth that he had put in his mouth as he rapped it around is left arm. "I'm not grinning. I was just excited to hear the princess pick a fight with a god." Hak explained a creepy grin curling his lips. "Are you being sarcastic again?" Yona scolded. "Of course not!" Hak replied turning toward her happily. "Hak your so weird." I mutter to him. He turned toward me a smile still in him face. I sigh "But what else could I expect from a Thunder Beast?"
