Chapter 165 - Language

But before Zolan could leap and take her away, a loud roar halted him. It was the dragon that had fallen on the ground.

"Damn!" Zolan cursed as he looked at the dragon rising from the rubbles.

The soldiers who had approached it to deliver the final blow were standing before it, frozen in fear. They did not think that the dragon could still move after sustaining such injuries on its body. Those soldiers already knew how to kill the dragon as he had already instructed them before the enemy arrived, just in case a war with the dragon happens.

Their strategy was the same as the way Prince Gavriel and the rest of them had killed that dragon in the forbidden land in the past. The prince was going to take the dragon down by stabbing both the dragon\'s eyes. Once the dragon was on the ground, the soldiers will move to stab its heart with a huge spear, sharp and strong enough to pierce through the dragon\'s heart and shatter it. Of course, this would not be easy. Even back then, it was the prince himself who was the only one that managed to deliver the killing blow. But this time, their prince was fully occupied and fighting against something that was much more dangerous than a dragon. And Samuel and the others were fighting at the frontlines against Caius and his elites!

With another loud roar, the dragon opened its mouth.

Evie\'s eyes widened, knowing that the dragon was about to breathe out fire and burn all those soldiers. No, they were all going to die!

Her heartbeat thudded so hard inside her ribcage. Was she going to just watch? What should she do? What could she do? Those men… they were the fathers of those innocent children…

At that moment, Evie suddenly realized something. What did she utter that moment she screamed? That was right! She had said something!

Her eyes became wide as saucers, and she yelled at Zolan. "Bring me before the dragon, NOW!"

And Zolan did not know why he moved immediately, as if something had possessed him. He landed before the dragon and as its flames came shooting at them, the princess glowed again as she screamed something out loud this time.

"SKHEDAH!!!" she yelled hard and the light from her burst out. It happened all over again. The dragon\'s fire was extinguished from the lights shooting out from around her and the dragon wailed as if in pain.

The soldiers stood there frozen, including Zolan while Evie looked at her hands in utter disbelief. It happened again. She thought at first what happened in the watchtower was just her imagination. But it happened again. How? Why?

\'Skhedah\', she repeated the word in her mind. She had not the foggiest idea on why she suddenly blurted out that word in the watchtower. She did not even know about this word until she said it at that moment in the watchtower. She had the feeling that this unknown word was a part of that unknown language in their Ylvia\'s secret song. However, she understood what this word meant. It means \'STOP\'. Could it be that this was a language the dragons could understand?

The dragon wailed again and when Evie looked at it, her heart squeezed a little. Why? Is she feeling pity for it now? But it was trying to kill them all. It even tried to kill her in the watchtower too. So why is she feel like this towards it?

No, this dragon had helped her father too and her ancestors. Realizing that it was just a poor creature being controlled and being used as nothing but a mere weapon, Evie could not explain how she felt.

She saw its bleeding eyes and the large arrow planted into its chest and she felt extremely bad. She did not want the dragon to be hurt this way. But she also did not want it to burn and kill their soldiers. When Evie looked at its one good eye that was left, she saw the greenish hue disappearing, and its eye colour was becoming just like hers… a vivid amber.

Suddenly, a thought came to her. What if this dragon can understand her? It had stopped when she told it to stop, right? What if… she can command it, like her father, even if she was a woman?

The thought made Evie swallow. If she can really command the dragon too… she could help Gavriel… and this dragon does not need to be killed.

"Put me down…" Evie said weakly and to her surprise, Zolan immediately did as she said.

Staring intently into the wailing dragon\'s eye, Evie took a step closer towards it. Nobody moved to stop her, but she thought everyone, including Zolan might just be quite terrified.

She paused and searched within herself again, looking for any signs of fear or any danger signs. But she felt nothing. She was not afraid of the dragon at all! This was the sign that she was doing the right thing, right? She could only hope that was the case.

Bravely, Evie took another step forward, thinking of what she should say. She brainstormed and she had remembered that the word dragon was in that Ylvia song. Recalling that word made her even strangely calmer.

Once she was standing right below its head, Evie looked up. "Ryuhz…" she called and the when the dragon immediately stopped wailing and became immobile.

The dragon\'s eye looked down at her and Evie held her breath.
