Azura-It didn’t take two days like Cyran said it would. It took a week, which I was perfectly fine with. It allowed me time to mentally prepare myself.I didn’t have an issue with the treatment that was being suggested. I only had an issue with the one in charge of the treatment. I expressed my worries to Jade without telling her that it was just a bad feeling I had.It wouldn’t have done me any good anyway since they all seemed to trust Arric. Instead, I expressed that I didn’t feel comfortable being around Arric. Jade assured me that he was trustworthy.According to her, Arric and I had been close. In the way that a brother and sister were. Based on what Jade told me, Arric's care for me was enough to rival Cyran's.She told me that my death had affected him as much as it had affected Cyran's. It had nearly broken him to the point of no return. Other than Cyran, he searched for me endlessly, if not more than the others.As she told me of some things that happened between Arric and

Azura-I couldn’t believe it worked. Standing in front of Cyran, wearing clothing that seemed outdated, as if they were from thousands of years ago, I was having a hard time grasping it all. Stepping closer, I studied him. If it weren’t for the clothing and the hairstyle, I would think he was the same Cyran I knew today.Noticing he was looking past me as if he couldn’t see me at all, I turned around. I sucked in a sharp breath when I saw someone that looked exactly like me. She was wearing a long flowing cotton dress, with a brown sash tied around her waist.There was something about her that was different as if her essence was nothing like mine. An air of sadness hung around her, as tears welled in her eyes. Appearance-wise, there wasn’t a single thing about her that was different from me, other than her hair wasn’t cut like mine.I didn’t know what was wrong with her. For some reason, when I glanced behind me at Cyran, who was still standing perfectly still, I knew this was the fir

Azura-“Excuse me?” Cyran’s right brow dropped slightly as he tilted his head to the left a little.“I, uhm…” I thought about what I was going to say but decided to just repeat myself. “I was just wondering how close you were with Arric.”“Not as close as we used to be, but he is my brother and someone I would risk my life for.”Hearing that, I knew I was going to have to tread lightly. If it came down to choosing sides, there is no doubt he would side with his brother over me. After all, I suspected that I was an eyesore to him. He regarded me as nothing more than his replacement mate.“I see.” I mumbled as I lowered my gaze to my hands.“Why do you ask?”“No reason, I was simply curious. I keep hearing things about everyone, but I am struggling to accept certain things.” I shrugged, without lifting my eyes to look at him.“If you are worried about Arric, you shouldn’t be. In fact, he is probably the only other one you can completely trust, aside from me and Kellan. Before I met Azur
Guardian Dragon Chapter 21
Azura-Time seemed to speed up over the next couple of months. After dreaming of Arric, my tension around him eased. I was still cautious, but not nearly as bad as I had been. Every night I dreamt of a memory I had shared with Arric.I had been filled with warmth and love. I felt that part of the reason I had been so on edge around him, was probably some form of guilt. It helped that as time went on, I didn’t feel like Arric was here to harm me.He wasn’t the same as he had been in my memories, but I suspected that it was because he had changed over the years. I wished that my memories consisted of Cyran, but they were all focused on Arric. The only time I could remember anything about Cyran was if I saw it after being hypnotized.The difference between when I was being hypnotized and dreaming, was the point of view. During my dreams, it was from a first-person point of view, where I could feel everything and feel completely connected. Unlike when I was being hypnotized, it was from a

Azura-This had to be the longest winter in history. I thought that I could keep myself busy, but there wasn’t much to do. I tried to write, but when I tried to work on the story, I was hit was severe writer’s block. I kept thinking about Cyran and hoping he was safe.“Has he checked in yet?” I asked Kellan for probably the hundredth time.“Not yet.” Kellan didn’t even look up from his computer as he answered.Although I have asked him every day for the past few months, he hasn’t seemed annoyed by it. Even Jade did not seem bothered by it because I have asked her just as many times. Leaning back in my chair at the table, I looked out the back door.We had just finished eating lunch and just hanging out like we normally did. Things at home have become natural to the point I felt as if it were my home. The only difference was that Cyran wasn’t here.I didn’t have any expectations for him when he did return, but I hoped that I could find a way to connect with him. At the very least I hop

Azura-Two days later, I am at my wit’s end about how to make Cyran feel better. He keeps avoiding me and when I do try to interact with him, he won’t even look at me or respond. I tried to have Kellan talk to him and find out what was going on, but he told me that he was unable to get any information out of him.It was clear that Cyran was avoiding me specifically because he had no problem interacting with Kellan or Jade. Thinking he just needed space, after making supper for us, I placed his plate outside his door, as I have been doing the last two days. As for me, I placed my food in the microwave while I cleaned the kitchen.Taking my plate to the basement, I closed the door, so I wasn’t bothering him. I tried to work on my writing, but it was difficult to focus. Feeling like it was pointless to force myself to write, I laid down on the couch.Since I forgot to bring a book down, I just rested my eyes to sleep. I woke up a few hours later, and I was unable to fall asleep again. Si
Guardian Dragon Chapter 24
Azura-All day I avoided Cyran, as he wanted me to stay away from him. I thought that until he at least cooled off, I would abide by his request. It helped that Jade came over and offered to cook meals today, which allowed me to stay in the basement.For most of the morning, I struggled with my writing, but by afternoon I managed to write a few chapters. After eating supper, I reread the chapters and realized they weren’t that great. In the end, I deleted the chapters.Until I could get my head right and settle the emotional turmoil that I was in over Cyran, I was not going to try to write for now. I would prefer to give my book the best writing material that I could, instead of mediocre stuff when I wasn’t feeling what I was writing. Maybe this wasn’t the career I should have chosen.Sighing, I debated on sleeping in the basement tonight or returning to my room. I didn’t want to chance running into Cyran. The last thing I wanted was to upset him more than he already was. After consid

Cyran-Lingering by the pool long after Azura went into the house, I fixed my gaze on the water. What I saw wasn’t the water though, it was fragments of memories as I recounted the scene of finding Azura dead in a cave. Since seeing the first Potential Stone Keeper in the cave, at the beginning of winter, I couldn’t stop seeing Azura’s dead body, covered in blood.Every night I have relived the same nightmare, never finding any relief. It wasn’t until I woke up next to Azura the night before last that I had finally slept. I had been angered to see her in the room, but more than that I had been mad at myself.When I first woke up, I had been surprised to see her next to me, but I had mostly felt a warmth spread through my veins. That alone had been enough to make me want to keep her as far away from me as possible. If the last few months weren’t enough of a reminder to stay away from her, I didn’t know what was.This morning when I woke up, having slept soundly, I realized that I neede
