Anywhere that has a road to walk on.
It was a beautiful day for this young man as he relaxes on a slanted rock, sleeping happily as the birds chirp around him from the tree. Along with the faint rustling from the branches as the wind blow on them, everything was as perfect as it can get. Before the sound of shouting and clinking metal filled the air, causing the man to wake up with a annoyed face. He sit up and look to his left, seeing the big patrol of soldiers coming up from the dirt road.
 
She frowned at the soldier standing in front of her with his face in front of hers. Her small nose scrunched up as she smelt his breath while waving her hand in front of her face. His face turnes a crimson red as he had the audacity to grab herdark brown hair back roughly. Her light brown eyes squinted as he smirked at her 'helplessness' bringing her chained hands up to the soldier, that was assaulting her,other arm. Wrapping the chain around his wrist and twisting it in an awkward position for him. He groaned as she put more pressure on his arm, smirking. She heard chuckling behind her not prepared as another soldier bulkier than the one she was harming grabbed her. He threw her onto his shoulder, "Put me down!" She exclaimed. Her dark hair that was in waves falling around her face crazily. Her small hands hitting his rough armor, he chuckled patting her butt lightly.

"Calm down princess or we will have to make you shut up," the soldier that held her said. He had continued walking with her on him as soldiers surrounded him. She lifted her foot up as she was about to bring it down on his jewels. Then she heard, "Tsk..tsk..tsk," as she felt cold hard metal being place onto her ankles. She internally groaned, as she said, "Put me down you brute." Bringing her.tiny hands once again down onto his back repeatedly.
 
The mage try to get back to sleep, ignoring the coming soldiers till his ears caught the sound of a yelling young girl. 'Why did it have to be me' he groan in his head as he waited for them to come to him, instead of him going to them. "That bloody girl nearly broke my arm, you're lucky that our King want you untouched...both body and soul" the hurt Captain exclaimed as he emphasized the last words he added, smiling with a wicked grin as some of the others chuckled to what he said as well. "Yeah, he would love to break her" another stated as they all started laughing, then stop as their Captain raise his hand up for silent.

"You there, state yourself right now?" the Captain demanded as he shouted at the snoozing young man, who reluctantly sit up and look at them with a tired look. "Huh...state what?" the man asked before looking away and yawned, his arms stretching out as he does. "Grr...your name, tell us your damn name!?" the Captain yelled angrily as he glare at him, "oh...you could've just ask instead of yelling." The man spoke back somewhat lazily then he jump off the rock and onto his feet, "the name is Arlen, Arlen Knute" Arlen introduced himself as he made a small bow before walking back to the rock to retrieve his cloak, which had a silver emblem with a dragon on it. While he was doing this most of the soldiers have shocked expression, some of them whispering softly to one another. "No way that him, could it" "maybe, but I don't want to risk the chance" "just our luck we come across him, we're dead for sure." Their Captain turn around and snap at them angrily, "pipe down, he just one man. Are all of you that frighten, you call yourself men!?"
 
She rolled her eyes as she heard the faint voice of the Captain,complaining. Then she smiled victoriously as she had remembered what had happened minutes before she was being carried. She heard someone's voice she hadn't recognised, the soldier that held her put her off to the side near a tree. The man looked at her and said, "Stay." She raised an eyebrow at him as she was lying down with her back against the tree and her hands and ankles chained. She raised her shackles on her hand looking at him and saying in a sour tone, "Does it look like I can go anywhere?"

He nodded ignoring her snide remark as he faced away from her and to the stranger everyone seemed to have their attention on. She tried to look around the soldier but he blocked her view of the man that could help her. Her eyes widened she could probably get help from the man, who she had not seen,but seemed to frighten the guards. "Help!Help! These brutes kidnapped meh--" as the soldier that had held her before covered her mouth with his rough hands. As his other hand held the back of her head so she wouldn't get out of his grip. She let out a high-pitch scream that came out muffled by the guy's hand. The soldier said in a stern and warning voice to her, "Shush."
 
"Shut that bitch up and as for you" the Captain yelled for the large man to quiet her before turning around and point at Arlen before continuing, "I don't care if you're The Silver Dragon, but if you try anything. You'll be punish dearly for doing so, just stand aside and we'll be on our way." He demanded as he kept glaring at the man. Arlen sighed as he rest his cloak back on the rock before walking onto the dirt road and faced them "I'm sorry to say, but my conscious won't let me." Arlen admit with a shrug of his shoulders as he have his thumbs were in his brown color trousers, "your conscious!? Your conscious just sealed your fate, men...attack!!" the Captain shouted as he draw his sword out and order his men to charge, though some didn't want to at first before they drew their swords and run at Arlen. "Big mistake" Arlen exclaimed as he raise his hands that became engulf with white flames, "witness why they call me Silver Dragon, Dragon Fury!" he cried out as he stretch out his right hand as a stream of raging white fire surge from his palm and onto them.

In seconds almost all of the charging soldiers were turn into ashes, leaving only the larger one to be left breathing as he held a young girl close with a sword press to her throat. "S-surrender or she dies" the man order despite the hint of fear in his voice, "you sure you want to do that?" Arlen asked as he took a few steps closer only stopping as the man press the blade more one the neck. "I do...now back off!" the man bark as he tried his best to not look frighten.
 
She looked at the soldier as he had this crazy look in his eyes. I'm in deep shit.she thought. He grabbed her bringing her into him effortlessly. Then she felt something pointy being placed at her neck. Which caused her to swallow roughly, as she put her hands together as they were slightly sweaty. She looked at the ashes in front of her, specifically the Captain's. If she could she would spit on them right now.

She felt the weapon push deeper making her blood drip down her neck. She moved her eyes to the soldier. He looked scared but was clearly trying to hide it.That makes two of us, she thought.Then she erupted into laughter as she clutched onto her stomach as she seemed like a mad person. Her laughs died down to occasional giggles. She looked at the mage as she smiled saying,"It's nice to meet you...um.."
 
"Arlen Knute, that all you need to know at the moment. Now my good man" Arlen asked the large man holding onto the young girl, "you should be wise and release her, she doesn't sound frighten from your threats at all" Arlen stated calmly, "I'll take my chances" he barked at him, his body shaking a bit, showing how scared he is. "Suit yourself" Arlen replied with a shrug before curling his fingers like he was holding something, then whip his arm out in a flourish as a fiery white whip is formed instantly and slice cleanly through the man neck as the man head fell back toward the ground with a thud. Thankfully his height and the girl's are greatly different, making it easy to get at without risk to the girl. "Should've listen" spoke the mage as his whip vanish with a white poof of smoke around his hand, showing no signs of burns within his palm.
 
So maybe a screw had gone loose in her head from the time her kingdom was attacked and now. With her blue eyes wide she stared down at the bulky man on the floor, then her attention went back to the young man. He didn't even touch him as her mouth open and closed like a fish out of water, shocked. She had stared at Arlen for quite a while when she noticed her mouth was open, she slowly closed her mouth as she brushed her hair behind her right ear. "Well that was...," she let the sentence trail off. Arlen Knute, she heard that name before but where? She walked up to him bowing slightly as she licked her dry lips, "I am Princess Lucia," then an annoying part of her said, 'Princess of what?' She abruptly turned around facing where her and her kidnappers had come from. Her kingdom and father.Light smoke went into the sky as she felt her eyes water as sobs escaped her as she fell to her knees. Her hair hiding her tear-stricken face.
 
Arlen sighed as he lightly scratch the back of his head, while looking down at Lucia as she cries, wondering on how he should handle this current situation. The mage squat down to her level and wave his hand in a flourish, causing a small bit of sparks to fly from his hand as he held a lovely thornless yellow rose. "I might not know what troubling you, but I'm sorry for your lost M'lady." Arlen politely stated as he smile warmly to her.
 
She wiped the tears from her eyes as she saw something yellow from the corner of her eye. As she turned her head toward him, she eyed the flower reaching for it uncertainly. The flower was beautiful. She smiled slightly,"Thanks kind sir," she said giving him a nod. Then she chuckled as she smelled the flower, "I can't believe I cried in front of a total stranger," she mumbled as she continued saying, "if only mother could see me now." Then she imagined her mother scolding her, about showing her weakness cause then people,would think she was not good enough to rule. Which she had never agreed on but went along with it, as she shook her head. Trying to shake the thought away before she cried again. As she looked towards her savior she couldn't help but hug him. Her arms around his neck, since she was extremely grateful.
 
"You're quite welcome, now if you don't mind I'll..." Arlen replied before he tried to say something else, only stopping when she said something about her crying in front of him and, what got his attention the most, her mother. Which nearly seem to caused her to cry again, he was about to think of what to do before feeling her body press against him from the given hug. Alren was a little stun as she had her arms around his neck, but he slowly collect himself and hug her back carefully as to not make any wrong moves toward her.
 
Lucia pulled away from him giving a smile as she held the yellow rose in her hand as she said, "Yellow roses are for your sick grandmother but it's still beautiful." She touched the yellow rose petal, she felt like a totally manic with her emotions all over the place. She looked appreciatively at the young man as her eyes widen with realization if this man could take out 13 soldiers without breaking a sweat he could help her get her kingdom back. She raised her dress the hem lifting off the floor as she took his hands into her own hands. "You can help my kingdom, if you do, you'll get a great reward. If you are willing to. Princesses honor," she said holding her hand up as if she was doing an oath.
