" Show me where exactly did you see Damian! "Draco spread a map of the dragon empire before her and asked Liana to point out. " There. Somewhere down there! "She said and then looked up. Lucian and Draco looked at each other. " Amongst the ruins? Are you certain? "Lucian had the same voice of disbelief but Draco contradicted his own views this time. " Ask Raba to get a group of twelve ready for us. We are leaving right now. There is no way to confirm this without going there. Liana, you are coming as well! "" Who, me? Okay! "She was following Draco out of the place when he stopped, " Why are you following me? "" You asked me to come. Didn't you? "She almost looked confused. " I asked you to join us when we go to the outskirts. Not now! "Draco said in the most polite way possible with a smile that clearly showed that he was annoyed. " Are you going to the dungeons? "Lucian suddenly asked. Draco stopped again. He nodded this time without making any face. " Are you going
The thin membrane cloaking the unseen from reality was removed. Seeing the dragons fly in their true forms, majestic and beastly was no ordinary feat in itself. Not many survived. It was a feat quite close to legendary. Liana was holding on to Lucian's neck with her body and arms. She was typically lying down on him and bear hugging him with all her body parts. She did remember his warning. She dared not harm those heavenly, glittering scales. " Damn! Why does this feel so good!... "Liana thought she heard a murmur though nobody spoke. " Umm, Lucian, did you say something just now? "She tried to look at his eyes, bending a little down. As soon as they made eye contact, Lucian dived several feets towards the ground. The motion made Liana forget everything else and cling tightly onto the slippery dragon with renewed grip . " Did she just hear my thoughts?Impossible."In that commotion, Liana thought she heard something again. But this time, she chose to ignore. In no time they
His claws flashed his Dragon heredity without mistake. His breath fell on my face as he held his nails at my neck. They were so sharp that a slight moment om my part, pierced my skin. A tiny droplet of blood emerged. I could feel it roll down my neck in a tiny stream. " Indentify yourself and let her go! "It was Raba. But she froze in her tracks as soon as the man turned his head. It seemed like she knew who he was and perhaps even feared him. "You! You are still alive? Did you not die with your mother , buried under these rubbles? "She looked puzzled, curious and stunned, all at once. It was like she knew the person who was about to get me murdered. Just then the rest of the group dropped in front of us, one by one. Except Draco. Each stood with their arms in their hands. But none stroke him. Were they worried about my condition? Nah! I was getting to high. I was just a human. Nobody would batter an eye if I died, they probably had some goof ups piled up from before. " R
" It has been illegal to make or keep Dragon Ashes for a reason. "It was Master who claimed as Draco and Lucian sat on the other side of the table. They were all sitting in the infirmary, watching Liana turn pale and blonde. " Do you really not remember him at all? Or are you deliberately trying to act tough? "Lucian jeered at Draco but he did not react. " Was this the one born to aunt after she was exiled? "Draco asked Master. He nodded. " It all began with your Aunt going to the human world for a mission. She was fierce. She was strong. She lead her brothers' men to many victories. But she was young. But youth is a pollen that blows through the sky and does not ask why. She fell in love with a human boy there. This made her inpatient. Lovers fear seperation the most. She was no exception. She found one excuse or the other to be with her human lover. All was well of only the she had maintained her distance. Emotional love is something out of our control but we can always con
I placed her on her bed. Her house had been locked for what seemed like months in the human time. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. A series of stale milk packets waited for he return at her door step. They were accompanied by the everyday newspapers. I made the bed clean my changing the top sheet. She stirred a little in my arms. Or was I imagining? I placed her down as the moon light fell directly on her face. Her skin shined just like a dragon's scale. Her hair was untied. It looked like flowing water, flaming her face. I touched her forehead to move the stray tresses. Gosh! I had to back off. Seeing her like that made, my heart skip, touching her skin almost gave me a heart attack. It was not happening all over again. I was not falling for a human girl whom Draco had taken in as his mate. I pulled my own hair back as I placed my hand on my head. I wanted to head back. To the Dragon Realm. I was not bound to take care of her, I had volunteered. I could have easily se
She morphed into the most beautiful woman that my eyes had ever seen. She gathered the twigs scattered here and then, then made a tiny pyramid out of that. " Do you want to join me? "she asked with a voice so soft and tender, that there was no way for a refusal. I went ahead and sat in front as she blew fire on that pyramid , creating a bonfire. " So Liana, do you feel them yet? You should be preparing yourself. The effect of the Dragon Ash has began. They will be swarming to this place or anywhere for that matter, wherever you are. " she said. " Who are the they? Why should I be worried? "her beauty was mesmerizing. I asked the question quite uninterested more engrossed into admiring her serenity. " The Dragon Ashes have been blown over you. You do know Dragons are mighty creatures. We have enormous powerhouses in our bodies and also embedded into our souls. Most Dragons are born with similar amount of this power. With similar potential, without any discrimination. The level o
They were looking up the Ivory Blade. So Draco was indeed injured and Liana helped in his recovery. How touching. A lovey dovey couple. That Mr. Joe's narrative was clumsy and boring but I got the gist. It made me instantly regret what I just did. I was a mere third wheel in this royal romance. I was like a sand spec in the eye. I was an unwanted nobody. I took one last look at the sleeping woman. She would survive a few days without anything. I had fed her the pill. I had more important things to take care of in the Dragon realm. I needed to retrieve the Ivory Blade from Draco. He could not be allowed to posses everything. Anything that he wanted to. I landed straight in the middle of the backyard and then went to look for our beloved king. As expected, he was not at his office, he had gone for patrolling. This was the perfect opportunity. I began going through all his drawers and shelves. Though I was sure that he would not keep something as expensive as the Ivory Blade un
" LIANA! LIANA! LIANA!!!"My voice echoed around the empty house. There was no sign of her. But she was there, no doubt, perhaps a few minutes prior. I ran to check the doors. They were open. Wide and ajar. I saw car tracks and footsteps on the ground of more than one people. Somebody had taken Liana away from her bed chamber while she was in no position to defend. Liana had been kidnapped under the most unfavourable conditions. And it was all because of Lucian. I was about to tear the whole house down in helplessness when suddenly I heard a familiar voice, " Oh my good luck, the Dragon Lord! "It was that Mystic Joe. He fell right at my feet in prostration. I could have kicked his teeth out. I was that mad but lucky that I didn't. If I had done so, he would not have been say the next sentence, " I just rushed back from the hospital. In my hurry, I had forgotten to lock Miss. Liana's gate. "He apologized with wide eye. " Liana? You know where she is? "" Of course I do. I rushe
