THE SURVIVOR

As arwin was able to speak Erik quickly asked "arwin are you okay?" arwin nodded not speaking, aria then asked "what happened to you are you hurt?" arwin then spoke "i'm okay but I was attacked. While my ship was heading back to Veridia a beast attacked us."

Elysia then thought to herself for a moment and asked "was it a dragon?" he then answered "it was it was green and large it killed everyone, on my ships luckily I swam to shore here." Elysia thought what he said when he called her a "aerethien" before passing out.

Erik then asked "well why did you say, I mean you looked at Elysia and said, aerethien," arwin confused "i never said anything. She is your wife i suppose." Erik then answered "yes she is my wife."

Aria at that moment told him "when you gained consciousness, you looked at my sister in law and said aerethien, why did you say that?" he then answered "i don't know why I said that, though I remember when the dragon attacked my ship. When I looked into it's flame I saw someone."

Aria then asked "who was it?" arwin then looked at Elysia and he told them "The girl I saw in the flame was you," he pointed at Elysia. Erik then asked "How did you see her," arwin then couged "i don't know but right now, I must go home to my family." Arwin then got out of bed.

Aria then informed him "you need to rest, it won't be possible for you to go Veridia now and it would take days to arrive." arwin then expressed his concerns for his he said, "i need to go that Dragon is heading to veridia."

Venlensen then said, "That won't be possible unless, you too wish to be slaughtered and how would you even know where that Dragon is heading," arwin then looked at Venlensen angrily "it was heading towards veridia."

Arwin then also informed them "This dragon has murdered half my family, including yours lensen (Venlensen) and it destroyed all my ships and most of my army," Erik then looked at him and said, "well for now just rest, we will try to send a message to veridia."

Arwin then yelled "but It will be too late I have to go now, please prepare me a ship now," Erik then said, "i will but for now you need to be calm, it will take time for you to go back to veridia." arwin then screamed "it doesn't matter I need to go, my family and my people." he screamed out loud.

Venlensen then asked "what good will that do, because for you to get there will take time and that Dragon flies fast." Erik then said, "he is right, I will organise you a ship. As for Veridia I don't think I can do anything." Arwin was in a bad mood he then said, "fine prepare me a ship I want to leave now." he said in a fearful tone as tears began to flow down he's face.

Aria then put her hand on his shoulder "don't worry all we'll be alright," she said to comfort him, he then yelled at her "nothing we'll be okay who knows people could be dying right now, you know the same dragon ate my mother infront of me." he said emotional.

Erik then said, "we know I was the my parents were also killed, but being angry won't help and who knows the dragon might've went another way." Arwin then said, "no that witch was with it she said that it's the end of my dynasty."

Arwin then demanded "organize ship for me to go home," Elysia then yelled at him "don't speak to him like that he's king," arwin then laughed "i am also in succession to the valdhorian throne, I have as much power as he I'm prince of Veridia heir to my throne." Erik at that moment snapped.

He then shouted "don't yell at my wife, I'll go speak to my advisers and the council," aria at that moment simply said, "arwin I know you're mad and scared but Yelling won't help, so please relax," at that moment arwin sat down. Venlensen then informed arwin that the royal council has already left and the are no sailors.

Nor other any sea navigaters and that arwin could not make it if travelled by a ship himself, he then said, "you'll have to wait for tomorrow," Venlensen said and then just walked away and Erik said, "it is true,I could ask the guards if they know how to sail but it would still take days for you to arrive."

Erik then said, "just get your self settled and maybe tomorrow we'll discuss this," arwin then said angrily "you want me to sleep, I don't even know if Veridia is safe if my brother is safe." Elysia then to make him feel better.

She said, "don't think negatively and who knows maybe your brother is alright." she said. Erik then supported what she said "she is right no one knows for now just relax will discuss this tomorrow okay." and arwin agreed.

When Elysia and Erik left the room Elysia asked "why didn't you tell me you had a cousin from Veridia," he then answered "i have to may cousin's that's why." she then said "okay so your cousin's are not your friends." Erik then said "excactly yes."

Please forgive me I know some of might think the chapter is boring, but trust me the next one will be amazing.
