POV of the mythical bird, associated with death and prophecies-I am Gamayun. Just a regular bird out in the sky of the mighty dragon realm. As I soared high in the sky, I could see the realm stretched out beneath me. Today, another Royal Dragon funeral was taking place, but it was not like any other I had seen before. The atmosphere was thick with grief and sadness, and even the clouds seemed to have turned a somber shade of grey. The air felt heavier around the palace as if it had covered itself with a cloak of sorrow. However, the deceased was not even a dragon, but a human woman named Liana, who had become the accidental mate of Dragon Lord Draco. She had sacrificed her own life to save him from the Ivory Blade, and her act of bravery had left a deep impact on all the dragons present here.The funeral pyre has been erected in the center of the open field, and it towered high into the sky. The pyre was made of the finest woods and adorned with intricate carvings that depicted the

" Where could he have gone? It's impossible that he would disappear on us, on his son, all of a sudden. Specifically at a time like this! "Master was pacing the corridors of the Royal Palace as the guards came back with reports one by one.It was Damian who had pushed the locked doors of his father's room open when nobody else dared. To their surprise, they saw the wrecked place but found the Dragon Lord was absent. The entire kingdom went into high alert.And the news of the high alert situation spread like wildfire, panic gripped the hearts of every citizen. The air was thick with tension and paranoia as the palace guards scrambled to get the situation under control. The sound of wings flapping and claws scraping against the ground filled the air as scouts rushed out to search for any sign of the missing Dragon Lord.Inside the palace, chaos reigned supreme as every room was being turned upside down in search of any clues. The sound of furniture being moved and cabinets being open

Body Weapons were like a miracle in the Dragon World. It was said that it manifested only when a true king was in dire need. Not only that. The heart of that king must have had experienced all seven sorrows in life. It aught to know heartbreak and longing, compassion and a sense of giving, bravery and leadership, betrayal and subordination, it aught to reach the highest ecstasy in life, only to fall in the deepest pit of grief and depression. For someone like Draco, such a feat was unimaginable, no matter how far and wide his reputation spread. Nobody could ever imagine how deep his emotional turmoils were as were his physical ones. This feat was unheard of for centuries. Even before the times of Draco's grandfather's. It meant that, nobody alive had the good opportunity to witness, such a spectacular miracle. No wonder Master was shaking with excitement, because he knew how important this achievement was. For Draco, however, this meant nothing at the moment. He just wanted an

I woke up to the darkness that surrounded me, my heart beating faster than ever before. It was just a dream, but the pain was so real that it felt like a living nightmare. I closed my eyes and tried to shake off the thoughts that consumed me since I had seen her lifeless face but I couldn't escape them.In my dream, I saw her again. She was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were lifeless. She was dead. And I couldn't help but feel responsible for her death.I got up and stretched my wings, the muscles aching from the tension. I walked to the edge of my cave and stared out into the darkness, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Suddenly, I heard a voice."L-Lucian?" The voice was weak and trembling, but it was very familiar. It was Liana's voice.I turned around as swiftly as I could and saw her - Liana, the human woman who stole my heart. She was standing at the entrance of my cave, her eyes fixed on me. For a moment, I couldn't move, couldn't speak. I just stared at her, wondering if

I, Nemesis, half-dragon, half-human was,at the moment slouching low. Very very low. My bloodline was cursed, a source of shame for my mother and me. But my guilt weighed heavier than any curse. I killed the Dragon Lord's mate, by mistake. She was human, and taking human life is forbidden for me by the Divine law.I have taken refuge in a place that lies between the human and dragon world. It is a desolate land, where nothing grows, and the only sound is that of my breath. I am scared, not of Draco, but of the Divine law that will hunt me down, no matter where I hide."Why did I do it?" I asked myself, knowing the answer but still seeking some solace. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to hurt her." But my excuses ring hollow, even in my own ears. The fact remained that I took a life that was not mine to take.My target had been the Dragon Lord. It was my vengeance. For my mother. Against all Dragon race. But why did the human have to interfere? Besides, was it possible for the Ivory Bl
