Now, a breath was all it needed to expose their whereabouts. "Hyntece, you promised me you'd never be like Lryke. You said that regaining status as an angel is what you've been dreaming of all this while." There was a strong note of threat in his words. "Show yourself, traitor!" Vyre lashed the wild grasses around. "Come back to me, my child." Arlyaen softened his voice and wrinkled his nose to sniff out the presence of his own member. "Only I can grant that dream of yours." Miracle craned her neck a little, trying to peep at the situation. Too sudden. Startled, Melvin quickly pressed her down, hushing her to remain still. But that was it. The next second, a violent squall hastily swept in their direction, thrusting the grasses around them away. Miracle slacked her jaw at the real appearance of the Lord of fallen angels. His lids were topped with slimy scales. Streaks of thin vermilion branched to every corner of his reddened eyes, highlighting the deadly glare flooded with
Any deeper was going to hurt her. He threw the poniard away. He couldn't do it. Not to her. "Don't do this to me..." he begged, pressing the pearl against her scaly chest. "Get in... Get in, please." But it wasn't obeying. "UGH! Damn it!" Melvin pulled her closer and buried his face in her neck, knowing it would only cause her more pain if he were to continue with the push. "D-Damn it…" He raised his head and stared up above, hating the fact that the dragon girl in his arms was fading away. The night sky was in total darkness, resembling the loss of hope in marking an end to the recurring mission. Right in the middle of the woods was the happening that mortals were never going to believe. Melvin sensed defeat. Nothing turned out as planned. The protectors of peace… were losing. Arlyaen walked to them, generating an electrified plasma ball in his hand. It was enlarging, giving off blinding sparks as the coruscating filaments extended from the center. "Owning the mortal world
At the back of her tongue, their blood merged. Miracle crinkled her brows. Something was awakening deep inside her, stimulating the presence of a strange, new vitality. She sensed it. Her scars were healing; her energy was recharging. Rumbles of lightning across the tenuous clouds aroused a new radiance on the pearl. Breaking off their kiss, she arched her body and gazed deep into the sky, as if it were communicating with her. The glowing sphere floated from Melvin's palm, reaching for her chest, into the spot where it used to sit. Miracle jerked; her hands clenched. Every part of her muscle contracted as a fierce gust of wind slammed into her body. Her damaged blood vessels reconnected at once. They scintillated and branched vigorously, surging toward the pearl. Under the brilliant rays of the moon, her horns glinted. A wave of numbness washed over her soul. For a moment, she couldn't feel herself. When darkness descended again, her pain was gone, and her eyes were back alive. "
Her tears came falling down like rain. She did stop the war, but not the separation. The scene turned harder to bear when Maddie, too, was distorting in shape. He raised his hand and stepped back, stopping them from getting any closer. 'Don't,' he mouthed. He had sought his revenge, and now he was ready to go. 'It's time to meet my brother.' His voice echoed as the last solid piece of him faded away. Born as a fallen angel, one shall die as a fallen angel—this was the principle Arlyaen planted in them since the day they were born. "Don't go?" Miracle whimpered, watching her tears fall through the translucent body in her arms. "I'm sorry..." Melvin pulled her closer for another deep, soulful kiss. "I love you... Melvin," she whispered. "Sorry that I've kept you waiting." He smiled faintly. "I'm glad I lost my memories..." "What?" "Never did I know what warmth was until you melted my heart of stone, Miracle." His eyes misted over. "If there's next life, I hope the world is full
Layers of protection around the house were gone; silver fronds were nowhere to be found. A strong tide of loss washed over her soul as Miracle walked in. Her eyes reddened. Flashes of Hayden were still everywhere, stirring up a strong pang of regret in her.The regret of failing to protect him."I wish you were here with me, Mr. Hayden," she wept. "I wish you saw how we defeated the evils. I wish you—" "I wish I was there to save you, Mr. Hayden. Just like you did to me." Melvin came close and entwined his fingers with hers. She tightened her grip, her broken gaze pouring out shades of guilt and sorrow she had for her half-mortal father. Her lips trembled. She couldn't hold back her stream anymore."I miss him, Melvin." He patted her head and pulled her into his warm embrace, straightening the black tangled strands peeking through. Was it her illusion? Every touch of his seemed to have healing power, easing her buried pain of losing somebody she treasured. "He'll want you to be hap
Hello, my beloved readers! 🌸 Thank you so much for spending your time on Tears' Curse. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed reading it. Dragons have always been my favorite mysterious creatures, and this explains the birth of this story. Whether they are real in reality or otherwise, who are we to say? After all, there are a lot of things in this world that humans will never know. And I choose to believe in the unknowns. Sometimes, believing in them is what makes life worth living. For example, somewhere opposite the deeper side of the forest exists a place that humans are unaware of, and somewhere beneath the sea lies a different world that looks after the earth. Beautiful, aren't they? Some people may say that these thoughts are ridiculous and whatnot. Well, that's simply because they are too indulged in today's modern lifestyle and technologies. Nobody is right or wrong, because the truth will never be known. When you're tired of reality, take a short break and explore the wonder
-Long Sheng Jie, Realm of Dragons- 'But to them, we are creatures that only exist in fairy tales.' She slashed her tail across the blue sky, shutting out the familiar whisper from distracting her mind. Higher than the birds could be, encircled by complicated webs of fluffy clouds, here sat a majestic castle on a colossal, floating boulder. Baby plant elves chuckled as they flew above the tiny yellow filaments of magnolias along the verge. Teal seeds of irises glistered in a rhythmic flow, showing off their thousand years of rich nourishment. Into the tranquil ambiance, the silver ferns—Soulless Sonder—effused another puff of swirl from the tips of their fronds, steadily increasing the fine networks of divine air floating around. This was where she lived. A place where she once thought everything was as ethereal as it seemed to be until she was exposed to the harsh truth. She was just a whelp when she first learned about the existence of Ring of Mortality—a transcendent wheel enclo
-Watson Soons Residence, 2019- Hopping down the empyrean loop after peeking through several times, Miracle came to a foreign land. She looked around. The warm sensation of wild grasses along with a wave of sea-scented air welcomed her presence. Her shoes were gone. Layers of her silky garments were changed into a set that she had no connection with—a pink cotton T-shirt and a pair of black ripped jeans. She touched her head. Her silver chains were no longer on her too. 'So this is the version of their world,' she muttered inwardly, recalling the lessons she learned about humans. "Good day." A deep voice shifted her attention. "Here, wear these." He placed the jelly flip-flop next to her bare feet. "T-Thanks..." She lifted her eyes to the middle-aged man standing before her. "And you are?" "Amenxious. This is Hayden, the TinXi," he said, giving her a slight gentlemanly bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you." TinXi, the border keepers of the mortal world. Blessed with half immortality
