RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse

"What!?" The man did not understand. He did not understand how him trying to take the cat girl away had anything to do with Destiny City. "This has nothing to do with Destiny city! I would like it if you did not interfere. This demi human needs to come with me right now!"

"Oh, now you want to take me away forcefully?" The dragonic girl asked as she stood up. She spread her arms out with a smile and said: "Come, try to take me away!"

"I said this has nothing to do with Destiny City, so please do not interfere!" The man did not understand why this girl even stood up. He had never said anything about taking her away.

"But you said this demi human needs to come with you. Am I not a demi human in the eyes of humans?" The dragonic girl asked.

Her name was Heio. She was selected to come to the human clan because of her abilities. When Bret had asked her to set out and handle the human clan, he had specifically told her to make sure that the leader Grace and her cat girl lover were safe. There seemed to be some kind of relation between her Lord and the one they call Her Holiness of the human clan. So she would make sure to follow her orders no matter what. The last thing she wanted was to let down the one person who allowed her a chance at a life outside of fighting. She was one of the prisoners of war. She was also one of her Lord's daughters' helpers. She wanted to get this job done quickly and return to her little miss's side. But now things may just end up delayed due to some kind of usurping going on.

"You! You know damn well I was not talking about you!" The man yelled he could no longer waste any more time! He marched forward and ignored the dragonic girl, and reached for Tobie. But just before his hand could touch the cat girl, his wrist was caught. "Ahhh!"

"I think you did not hear what I said. Maybe my words were not clear enough." Heio's eyes grew cold as she snapped the man's wrist like a twig. "You can not touch those under my protection."

"You! Damn it! Fine!" The man knew he would not win here and went to turn around but froze in place when he saw the person standing at the door. Sweat began to form on his brow as he tried to think up a quick excuse. But all that came to mind was pacing the blame. "Yo-Your Holiness! This woman just tried to attack your wife, so I tried to stop her and…."

"Ming…. Oh, Ming….. You really must take me as a fool. Did you think you could out run me with your weak wind magic? I have been standing outside this entire time listening to your nonsense. But it's fine. I have long decided that if anyone ever tried to hurt my wife, I would kill them without question. So bye." Grace silently cast her spell and waved her hand. A pillar of fire rose up from the ground, engulfing Ming. His horrid screams echoed down the hall. He dropped to the floor and flailed about trying to put out the fire, but no matter what he did, they would not go out. They were not normal flames but magic flames. They would not go out in the normal way.

Grace did not even look at the man as she waved her hand once more, casting a silent spell on him as she walked by. She then stood in front of Heio and bowed her head. "Thank you for protecting my wife just now."

"It was nothing. I am just doing what I was asked to do. Plus, I became friends with Tobie while you were away. She is quite the cute little kitten. You are a lucky lady." Heio's words caused Tobie to blush and Grace to smile.

"It is thanks to her that I did not lose my true humanity." Grace gazed warmly at Tobie. Because of her, she did not fall to become someone who was completely evil. She was able to keep her humanity and see that demi humans were truly no different from humans.

"I am glad there is one sane person in this place. Now, what was the verdict?" Heio asked.

"I came to ask for your help. I will need a guard for Tobie while I take her with me to appeal to the humans of my city. I will not force them to come with me, but I must at least explain what is happening. I am sure Jay and the other officials will try to stop it, but there is nothing I can do about that. They are hell bent on trying to stay in power instead of thinking about what is best for the people. I can not ensure my wife's safety. So I was hoping you could help." Grace bowed her head. She could only hope that Heio would say yes to her request.

"No problem. I was tasked with ensuring the safety of all those who wished to evacuate. We know the conditions here in the city. And I do not need a request to protect my friends." Heio replied with a smile. "So, Miss Holiness, raise your head and act like a leader of the people. Go and protect those you wish to protect." Heio's words made Grace let out a sigh of relief. She was glad she never made a complete enemy out of Destiny City.

She found it funny. The one and only man she had ever truly loved was someone who she should have deemed an enemy due to him no longer being human. But it was also because of him that she had found her true love. She owed him just as much as she owed Tobie for helping her see the truth of the new world. She had slowly hoped to turn her own city into a place like Destiny City, but that would have taken time. There was still too much hate in the people's hearts for losing everything they once had.
