Create my version of this story
But just as I was about to make my way through one of the city’s narrow alleyways, I felt something—a presence, moving through the darkness toward me.
I was a witch spy.
I tensed, my hand going to my dagger as I prepared to defend myself.
I was sent to the dragonborn kingdom to gather intelligence and report back to my queen.
But even as I did, I realized that this was no ordinary person.
I was not supposed to fall in love with the enemy.
This was someone—something—far more dangerous.
The dragonborn had been our enemies for centuries, and I had been taught to hate them since I was a child.
For a moment, all I could do was stand there, frozen in place as I waited for it to come closer.
But when I met Roran Blackfire, the young king of the dragonborn, I realized that everything I had been taught was a lie.
And then, it emerged from the shadows—and everything changed.
He was kind, wise, and compassionate.
At first, all I could see was its eyes—two golden orbs that glowed with a fierce light as they looked down at me.
I had expected to be afraid, but instead, all I felt was a sense of wonder and amazement.
He was nothing like the monsters my people had made him out to be.
And when I met Lyra Moonshadow, a dragonborn healer who became my ally, I realized that her people were not the monsters we had made them out to be either.
It was so beautiful, so perfect, that it seemed to almost take my breath away.
It had skin like burnished bronze and hair like molten silver, and when it smiled, its teeth gleamed like polished ivory in its mouth.
They were just like us—flawed, but trying their best to survive in a world that hated them.
And when I discovered a plot by my own people to attack the dragonborn kingdom unjustly, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to stop it.
Its eyes crinkled at the corners as it looked down at me, and for a moment, it almost seemed like it was—laughing?
Even if it meant betraying my own kind.
I opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
Who are you?”
I was a witch spy, trained by the order of witches in the art of combat, stealth, and magic.
it asked, and its voice was deep and resonant, like thunder rolling across a stormy sky.
I had been raised in the shadows, taught to kill without conscience and to move without a sound.
I’m just—just a poor, helpless girl,” I said, forcing myself to speak even as my heart raced in my chest.
I had been trained to be ruthless and efficient.
“It’s—it’s not safe for me out here at night.
I had been taught to be cunning and clever.
But most of all, I had been taught to serve my queen, and my country, at all costs.
Please—please let me go.”
Its eyes narrowed thoughtfully as it looked at me, and for a moment, I thought that it could see straight through my disguise.
When I was a child, I had been chosen as a potential candidate for the order of the witches.
I had been taken from my home and subjected to a series of tests and evaluations to determine my potential as a witch spy.
But then it smiled again and held out its hand for me to take.
I had been trained by Master Darius himself, the most powerful witch in the kingdom and the leader of the order.
“Come with me,” it said gently.
He had taught me everything I knew, and he had made me into the weapon that I was today.
“I’ll take you someplace safe.”
And now, my training had brought me to this moment.
I didn’t want to go with it—I knew that I couldn’t.
My mission was simple: infiltrate the dragonborn kingdom, gather intelligence, and report back to my queen.
But even as I hesitated, I felt something inside of me begin to change.
The dragonborn were our ancient enemies, a race of fierce and powerful warriors who had fought against us for centuries.
I had been taught to hate this creature, to see it as nothing more than a monster who needed to be destroyed.
We had always seen them as monsters—inhuman beings who sought to destroy us at all costs.
But here, in its presence, those feelings began to fade away.
We had always believed that they were evil—savage creatures who deserved nothing but death.
And for a moment, just a moment, I almost wanted to take its hand and let it lead me to safety.
But I knew that I couldn’t—if I did, then everything that I had worked so hard for would be lost.
And now, it was up to me to see if that was true.
I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves as I made my way through the bustling market.
I stood there for a long time, staring up at it as I tried to make up my mind.
The air was thick with the scent of meat cooking over open fires, and the sound of laughter and conversation filled the streets.
And then a new voice spoke from behind me, breaking through my thoughts and bringing me back to reality.
Everywhere I looked, I saw dragonborn warriors in their gleaming armor, walking arm in arm with their wives and children.
“Roran,” the voice said sharply.
They were laughing and joking with one another, sharing stories about their day as they made their way to their homes.
“Who is this?”
The market was filled with people, but none of them paid any attention to the small figure who moved quietly among them.
It’s nothing,” the creature said quickly as it turned to face the newcomer.
I blended in easily, my dark hair and plain clothing marking me as one of the common people.
“It’s just—just a girl I found in the alleyway.
Most of the dragonborn in this part of the kingdom were warriors, and they lived in large houses with their families.
She wasn’t where she was supposed to be.”
Their wives seldom left their homes during the day, preferring instead to spend their time cooking meals for their husbands and tending to their children.
“But what is she doing here?”
the newcomer asked.
The houses here were small and modest, but they were clean and well-kept.
“What is she—”
It was a far cry from what I had seen in my own country—the grandeur of the dragonborn capital was almost enough to make me sick.
“It doesn’t matter,” the creature said with a frown.
But I pushed aside my revulsion and focused on the task at hand.
“Lyra, go home—I’ll be there soon.”
When night fell, I slipped out of the house where I had been given shelter and began to make my way through the streets toward the palace walls.
As I moved, I allowed my magic to rise up around me, cloaking me in darkness so that no one would see me as I passed by.
It reached out and took my hand in its own, squeezing it gently as it turned back to face me.
“Come on,” it said with a smile.
“I’ll take you home.”
This is my friend Lyra,” the creature said as we walked through the darkened streets of the city together.
“She’s a healer—she takes care of me when I’m sick.”
I was too busy thinking about what had just happened, about how close I had come to revealing my true self to this creature.
But I nodded anyway, filing away this new information for later.
Lyra was a healer, it seemed, and she was friends with this creature—Roran, it called him.
It was strange, to see a human girl and a dragonborn getting along so well, but I supposed that it was possible.
After all, they were both just people, weren’t they?
As we walked, I found myself falling into step beside Lyra, and I fell into an easy conversation with her.
As we talked, I discovered that we had a lot in common.
We were both healers, for one thing, and we both came from small towns where everyone knew everyone else.
We even practiced our magic in much the same way—using songs to focus our power and draw forth our magic.
By the time we reached our destination, I felt like I could almost call her a friend.
But then she said something that made me realize that we were more than friends—we were soulmates.
“I still don’t know if I’m any good at it,” she said quietly as we walked.
“I mean, I’ve been training for years, but—I’m not sure if I have what it takes to be a real healer.”
I reached out and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
“I’m sure that you’re a wonderful healer,” I said softly.
“You just need to believe in yourself more.”
“Thank you, Elara,” she said, smiling gratefully at me.
“I’ll try to remember that.”
And that was when I knew that she was the one.
The one who would be my friend, my sister, my soulmate.
Because she was just like Aria in every way—kind, gentle, and beautiful, with a heart as pure as the morning dew.
I had lost Aria years ago, but now it seemed that the gods had given me a second chance to find happiness once again.
Aria was my best friend, the closest thing that I had ever had to a sister.
We had grown up together, playing in the fields and forests around our home.
We had gone to school together, learned magic together, and even become spies together.
She was always there for me when I needed her most—during the worst moments of my life.
And when she died, a part of my own heart died along with her.
It was only now, after all these years, that I realized how much I missed her.
And how much it hurt to lose her all over again.
I took Lyra’s hand in mine as we walked, holding it tightly as we made our way to the tavern where we were supposed to meet Roran.
But even as we went, my mind was still filled with thoughts of Aria.
And the pain of her loss threatened to consume me once again.
I forced myself to push those thoughts away as we approached the tavern, but it wasn’t easy.
And so it was that when we entered the tavern at last, it took me a moment to realize that something was wrong.
The place was crowded and noisy, with people everywhere—and yet Roran was nowhere to be seen.
But before I could even start to panic, a voice called out to me from across the room.
“Lyra, there you are!”
It called out to her.
“We’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
And then a figure emerged from the crowd—a tall, broad-shouldered figure, with bronze skin and golden eyes and sharp, angular features.
It took me a moment to realize that this figure was Roran.
And at the sight of him, my heart skipped a beat.
He looked even more handsome up close, with a strong jaw and a smooth, clean-shaven face.
His eyes were like molten gold, glittering with intelligence and warmth as they fixed on Lyra’s face.
“Are you all right?”
he asked, taking her hand in his.
“I was worried about you.”
Lyra smiled up at him, her eyes shining with happiness.
“I’m fine,” she said.
“I just got a little lost, that’s all.”
Roran frowned down at her.
“I’m sorry about that,” he said.
“I should have made sure that you found your way here safely.”
He turned to face the rest of us.
“And who are your friends?”
Lyra introduced us, and Roran smiled warmly at me as he shook my hand.
“It’s nice to meet you,” he said.
“Lyra has told me all about you.
You’re a healer too, aren’t you?”
I nodded, my face growing hot as he smiled down at me.
He was so handsome and kind and—no, I couldn’t think like that.
I had a mission to complete here.
And it was important that I not lose sight of that fact.
But as we ate and drank and talked together, it became increasingly difficult for me to believe that Roran and his people were the monsters that my queen had always made them out to be.
They were so kind and good and honorable.
They followed a strict moral code that forbade them from killing or hurting others without a good reason—and they seemed genuinely concerned about the welfare of their families and homes.
They were just like us in so many ways.
I couldn’t understand why we had ever been enemies.
But I had a mission to complete here.
And no matter how nice they seemed, I couldn’t afford to forget that.
After dinner, Roran walked Lyra and me back to the house where we were staying, and we said our goodbyes.
I watched them go, feeling a strange mix of emotions welling up inside me.
Roran was my enemy—or at least, that was what I had been taught.
I was here on a mission to gather information about his people that might one day be used against them.
I couldn’t afford to forget that fact.
And yet—I respected him.
I wanted to be his friend.
And that was what made this whole situation so much more difficult.
I couldn’t betray his trust like this.
Not when he had been nothing but kind to me from the very beginning.
Roran and Lyra had been nothing but kind to me from the very beginning.
Their people had been nothing but kind to me from the very beginning.
