As much as she knew the importance of the dragon more than anyone else, didn’t mean she thought he had stupid moments. It made him almost seem human at times. That could also be the fact that she could hear a dragon’s voice in her head. The idea of the dragon being even close to human like was silly and laughable. “[i]I don-[/i]” It was then that their conversation was finally cut off by her mother making her way into the room before Emery yelling at her, and she telling him to fuck off as nicely as possible. The whole thing was then over before, Emery was finally before her in person. She was interested in the idea of another story and let her more un-priestess like nature show for a moment before she became totally embarrassed by the whole thing. Even more so since it was in front of someone and he clearly saw what just happened making her blush even more. So she tried to distract him by the matter by starting her story, only to jump a little when Emery’s voice appeared in her head again. She didn’t realize that he was still listening. “[i]Well too bad, I would like to hear it[/i]” She said back to him before apologising with a smile at her little jump before she blocked Emery out as she listened to the story. It was really close to her own story but honestly sounded a little more believable. After all, why would a dragon want to share their land with anyone else? They were the most dangerous known creatures on the face of the world. “Very interesting.” Ella said with a bit of a smile, “What village do you come from? I’d love to make a trip there and tell the story that is known by those close to the temple.” She said smiling a little bit more. “I could even do some of the rituals there for the day so you and your people of the village don’t feel so out of sorts with what I do here.” Ella said loving the idea of a day trip. However, before the man could reply Emery’s voice cut in again and the door opened her mother’s face a mixture of horror, anger and something else. Sadness? Ella was confused, she glanced back at the man. “Sorry if you’ll give me a second, something important has happened and the dragon is currently needing me.” She said as she stood up before bowing before the man before starting to head towards her mother. “Mom?” Ella said softly worry in her eyes. “Wh-“ That’s when he told her. Her whole body froze her hazel eyes wide in total shock. For a moment she just stood there unable to believe what she just heard. “Wh-what?” She whispered out loud. Her eyes turned to her mother as her eyes started to water. “He-he-he can’t do that right mom! Mom! Don’t let him take me! Mom look at me!” Ella said starting off softly still in shock before the panic set in, her mother unable to look at her daughter her jaw set in a tense matter, her lips pressed together. “I’m sorry Ella but I here by renounce your title as priestess and shall take you and prepare you for the alter tonight.” Her mother said softly but sternly the pain in her voice there. The tears started to spill down her cheeks. “YOU CAN’T DO THIS! AFTER EVERYTHING I’VE DONE! ALL FOR NOTHING!” Ella screamed at her mother as she sobbed softly. “Ella! There is nothing else to be done! His word is law, now give me your head piece!” Margaret yelled back at her daughter looking up with angry and distant eyes. Ella backed up a little shaking her head before she tripped over the pillow she had been sitting on. She had totally forgotten the man was in the room. She looked to the man across from her, the make-up she was wearing now staining her cheeks in the streams of her tears. “The part of the story I’m not allowed to say. . . is every 500 years a human sacrifice is needed.” She closed her eyes and sobbed softly for a second. “The dragon just. . . chose me.” She whispered.
