#FLASHBACK (TO FOSTER NIGHT)

I was moving inside the woods. I still hadn't got any fairy till now but i was determined to get one i can't let my efforts go in vain i haven't fucking trained for years to get out of here with empty hands, so i went in and in but still every fairy that saw me either turned away or left without saying anything.

I had been training from so long from what i knew through books they shouldn't behave like this. I am wandering in the forest for past hour. Its dangerous to roam in a forest like this as many beasts roam around here at this hour, the council considers it as a test for candidates to prove themselves.

I was walking in the woods carefully avoiding the roots and stones, my sword clinking near my thigh the only sound in this peaceful forest, my ragged breaths forming a puff in front of me in this cold night, my fighting leathers doing a very little to keep me warm. As i was going inside and inside i felt headache thought that was because of stress but it increased with every step. I don't know how but i sat the base of the tree and suddenly blacked out.

I woke up to a different surroundings it looked liked heaven to me beautiful waterfalls, flush greenery, snow covered mountains and most beautiful was the vast night sky above me it looked like someone had spread silver dust in the sky. A loud roar broke me through my thoughts i unknowingly started running in the direction of that sound, when i reached there my steps came to a halt as i saw a big dragon in front of me i felt a pang of fear as well as surprise because dragons are really rare. Ancient people used to hunt dragons as their scales hold a large amount of power in them.

Then i saw past through the dragon on a rock there laid a fairy, she was breathing heavily as there were many bruises on her body. She was badly hurt. I needed to help her. But as rushed towards her the dragon suddenly growled at me but i wasn't going to back down i had to help her and i could see that the dragon meant no harm to her he was also trying to protect her but his overprotectiveness might cost dearly.

"Trust me i mean no harm to her" i said forwarding my palm in front of him but he just roared at me the sound echoed through the forest proving his sheer strength and power. Even though i told him he wasn't going to back down so i had to find a way to to trap him so he doesn't interrupt while i tend to her wounds and there was only one way to do so, fight him. I wasn't going to hurt him because dragons are rare and what our ancient people did was wrong, just trap him. I searched for a good place to trap him there were tree wines here i might just take him there and he might get captured in them.

With this intention i unsheathed my sword and started to circle him, i dodged his attacks with help of perfect athletics that i learnt through my training. With lots of efforts i finally captured him in the tree vines, i rushed to the fairy and started tending her wounds with the help of my medical knowledge i gained through books at last when i finished i heard a growl behind me, slowly as i was turning the dragon hit me with its tail and i went flying and hit with a tree i fell down, my vision blurred as i slowly opened my eyes fear settled deep in my stomach as the dragon stood right in front of my face his hot breath hit me on my face. I felt that now everything is going to come to an end finally i am going to die but i hadn't still experienced in anything in my life yet i hadn't enjoyed it enough for it to end abruptly like this, i can't die with these regrets....

"wait..." a deep scary voice interrupted my death i looked at the source of light, it was the fairy i helped, a ethereal fairy looking, more like a she-devil than a goddess. i could feel the power she withheld by the mana flowing through her body.

"Stop Marcyn !!" said the fairy and the dragon so apparently i think the dragons name was Marcyn and he moved back hearing the the fairy and sat there in his glory. I gave a sigh of relief as he backed off. The fairy came to me and touched my hand and i felt power surging through me healing all my injuries.

"who are you?" i asked still confused "and where am i?"

"Calm down, luna. I am Amaris, the fairy of the dark." that's when it clicked to me. I had seen her in a book of fairies she is the fairy with dark powers and such fairies are rare and by rare i mean really really rare.

"and u my dear luna are going to be my master" I came out of my thoughts and looked at her bewildered. wait, wait, wait just wait a minute did she she just take my name or i misheard.

"me?" i ask her confirming if i misheard.

"yes, u" she replied plainly.

"me? as in me me?" i ask her pointing at myself.

"Don't tell me u don't know English? yes it's u" she asks me sarcastically.

"ok, so why me?" i ask her as i wasn't so sure about it.

"Because u have every quality i want in my master and u are..." she trailed of and was about to fall when i ran and catch her in my palms. She was injured though i tend her wounds but still they need time to heal and i can't possibly take her to camp as Dark fairies are forbidden to be bonded with because of their huge powers but i can't and won't leave her here as i am her master now i will take care of her, so i decided to lie about not having a fairy.

I asked the dragon to show me the way out of here and he just started walking away so taking the hint i followed him, there i saw a gate as i was just to pass from it,

"She trusts u a lot seeing how she decided to heal u first using her remaining power." he just said and left. I felt the weight of his words and his concern for Amaris was clear though he kept the hard facade but he was soft inside and i went from there.
