Chapter 5 The conflicts and set up

So Mezie made up his mind and decided to ignore his mother's word but to save a life which he believed that it is very important also. 
He is a kid though so he can be easily influenced, convinced and heart touched by anyone at some moments.
"Am princess Mera..." the lady was still saying but Mezie interrupted her. "you have said that before" He said as he began to pick some pieces of fire woods around him
"Yes but actually you haven't told me who you are?" Princess Mera requested to know as he looks up to her.
"Am Mezie" He said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Yes, Mezie? son of who and where are you from?" She asked.
"Am from the kingdom of KingsHeaven and I'm a son of nobody" Mezie said as he continues the picking of firewood.
After he made that statement Mera was staring at him steadily.
"I know what you are thinking? KingsHeaven and Queens Town are always not in peace right? you find it strange staying with me, you are thinking if they sent me for you?" Mezie asked as Mera was still looking at him silently.
KingsHeaven and Queens Town are in a very dreaded conflict that they kills each other base on anyone that crosses the wrong part just like Mera and Mezie are on the wrong part to each other now.
"Don't be afraid princess am equally running for my life because they are equally after my life" Mezie said to Mera who breathes out heavily looks down and her eyes met the pieces of wood which Mezie was gathering.
"Sorry what the hell are you using the woods you are gathering for?" princess Mera asked while Mezie stares at the firewoods also.
"I was preparing to make a fire but I'm sorry I thought you do like light, I don't know that you love it dark" Mezie said as he attempts to kick the already arranged firewoods away.
"Oh, sorry for asking you a stupid question, you can go on and make the fire" Princess Mera approved and then Mezie arranged the fired.
And then he opened his bag and took out packet of matches and set the woods on fire as it began burning, princess Mera sat close to Mezie as they began to discuss.
"So tell me Mezie, why were they after you, I mean KingsHeaven after your life?" Princess Mera asked as Mezie looks down trying to explain as tears flows out of his eyes.
"Because of the Mega dragon, the Mega dragon chose me" Mezie said as princess Mera stares at him in amazement and mostly because that name rings a bell in her ear.
"Because I was seen riding the dragon my mum mother was executed because they couldn't find me to face the death penalty" Mezie said as more tears rolls down from his eyes.
"I couldn't do anything as I watched my own mother get burnt to ashes, I was so weak" He said as more tears began to flow out of his eyes.
And then princess Mera shifted closer to him and made him put his head on her laps as she feels much pity for the little boy.
A kid of his age having such a sad memory? that's obviously why there are still angry children out there.
"Am sorry, but it wasn't your fault, you did all you can..." princess Mera was still saying but Mezie interrupted her.
"I didn't do anything! it was all because of me my mum was burnt, if it wasn't for me she could have been alive by now"
"She warned me about that dragon but I didn't listen, I was born for misfortune" Mezie said as he raises his head from Mera's laps and looking at Mera as if he is about to embark on a fight with her.
"Mezie it's okay, please don't say that again, you are born for greatness, you didn't do it intentionally, and one thing you should know is that everything happens for a reason" Mera said as she wipes off Mezie's tears with her right hand.
"And what reason could this one be?" Mezie asked as more tears kept streaming down his face.
"Meeting me! am not saying it is good your mum died, no, I could feel your pain because I have lost someone I have loved so dearly" princess Mera begin to say as Mezie keeps listening to her words with one of his hands placed on her laps.
"Mezie it's a great thing that you meet me here! as I can see you are a very strong child, destined to for greatness but you need a glorious kingdom to stand behind as your backbone so that your fame and greatness can spread all over the world"
"If you can follow me home, I will give you a better life, I'll make you a king among others, I will cherish you and I will make you my own son" Mera said and Mezie's reaction was just to look away from her.
"Mezie? don't tell me you are turning down this offer?" Mera asked as Mezie took a deep breathe and removed her hand from his shoulder where she placed it.
"Am sorry, I cannot come with you because I already have a destination chosen for me by my mum, and I am convinced that she knows the best place for me" Mezie responded as he stood up from the ground.
"And where is this your destination leading to?" Mera asked with her eyes widely opened as she thought that it could be easy to change the little boy's mind.
"Seldom! my mother has told me the person I should meet at Seldom, he can give me a better life which I needed" Mezie said as Mera gets up to her feet and approached Mezie.
Getting close to him she kneels down in his face trying to be on the same height with him "Young charming, Seldom is a very nice and beautiful and your mum chose it for you, so it's a good decision from her"
"But if truly the Mega Dragon had chosen you then Seldom is not for you because the people that possesses control of a dragon are not welcomed in Seldom" Princess Mera said as Mezie nods.
"Before my mum told me to embark on Seldom, she knew all that and she has told me how to go about it" Mezie said as Mera looks down because she can see that it is very hard for this kid to be convinced.
"Don't underestimate the power of Seldom! they are incredible, I believe you are a kid that's..." Princess Mera was still saying when Mezie interrupted.
"Why my mother have to make the right choice for me" He said as he sits back on his formal position while Mera stares at him for a while and believed that the kid is cannot be convinced as he has a strong determination.
She can't make him to change his mind so she decided to let that be and she want to sit beside him.
"So what caused the war between KingsHeaven and Queens Town?" Mezie asked and without hesitating princess Mera begin to explain.
"It was all still because of the same mega dragon which each of the Kingdom was supposed to posses the power for 10 years and then the other will own it for another ten years"
"I mean between the two favorite kingdoms of dragons which is Queens Town and KingsHeaven" Mera said and Mezie looks up to her in surprise because he can see that it was something similar to his case that caused the conflict
"And that is how we have been doing it for over hundred years but since the reign of the greedy King, King Jerome Akuza, he has refused to let us have the mega Dragon on our time and that moved the war more dreadful" Princess Mera concluded as Mezie was still looking at her in shock.
Though he has something bothering him up his mind. "So... now that I possess the power to control the mega dragon does that mean that I am now the enemy of Queens Town?" Mezie said while Mera waves her head and looks up to him.
"Actually it was supposed to be so but I have changed my mind because you saved my life and have become more closer to me within this few hours we met but it would be better if you just accept to be my son so everything can just be normal? please?" princess Mera begged.
While Mezie took his time thinking about it and after a few moments of thoughts he looks at Mera once again.
"So what if I say no? I becomes enemy?" Mezie asked as Mera still waves her head. "You are always a friend Mezie and will forever be" Mera responded.
"Good then, I'm heading to Seldom tomorrow" Mezie replied while Mera shrugged her shoulder. "That is your wish, so you are free" She replied with a smile on her face.
And then Mezie lies down at the ground and turned his back on Princess Mera and after just a seconds he turns his face again.
"So was those men that came for you just now the armies of KingsHeaven?" Mezie asked as she waves her head.
"No, they are from the neighboring kingdom, Queens Pack, but I was wondering where they get their male knights from" Mera replied and Mezie get up from his sleep and sits properly.
"Queens Pack and Queens Town neighbors?" He asked as Mera nods. "Wow they are really neighbours"
"And why are their knights after you? another conflict?" Mezie asked.
"It was all because of the dragon princess which is also a dragon owned by me, they wanted to take it and give it to their own princess" Mera replied as Mezie stares at her somehow.
"Why?" Mezie asked. "Am so sorry but I don't think I can tell you why" Mera said as Mezie nods.
"So you had a dragon, why didn't you call her for assistant when those knights are oppressing you and even attempting to kill you?" Mezie requested to know.
"That's because no idea about the magical words used in summoning a princess dragon" Mera replied while Mezie takes a deep breathe as he understands that all dragon may have the same language but they all have different kind of magic enchanted language used in summoning them.
"And the dragon didn't teach you?" Mezie asked as she smiles. "Come on they can't talk, people are the one that have to look for the source all by themselves" Mera said as Mezie shrugs his shoulders.
"Well, I don't know know... but I think the mega dragon can talk, he thought me how to summon him at first but I didn't notice it was him till I hear him speak again directly on my face" Mezie said as that statement rings a bell in Mera's ear.
"Really?" Princess Mera asked as Mezie nods. "Yes of course I'm telling you the truth" Mezie responded.
"And can you teach me?" Mera asked hoping that the kid can just leave the secret just like that. "Am sorry but I was warned by the Dragon that I am the only one to say thay language, so.. good bye," Mezie said and lies back on the ground in other to sleep..
And then Princess Mera removed her long gown and used it to cover him "Sleep well young chap!" She whispered in his ear

NEW DAY
The Day has broken and Mezie was lying on top of a chariot as it is being moved by horse and some knights matching along with it.
Slowly Mezie wakes up just to realized that he was captured by some men, he tried to call on his dragon but he recognized that his mouth was sealed.
And his hands and legs chained and he began struggling to loose it.
"Don't stress yourself self little one, because I wouldn't want you to get yourself injured, those chains were sealed up with magic there's nothing you can do to remove it!" A voice sounded and Mezie looks at the person who said it and it was Princess Mera.
And that's to show that it was all set up to get him! then he hit his hand angrily on the chariot as he knew that he could have heed to his mother's word but he has already made that mistake though and it cannot be reversed.
He has disobeyed his mum once again so he hopes that facing the consequences now shouldn't involve death
