Maya's eyes glowed with darkness, not more the yellow dragon eyes but a dark glint inside her look made her face turn into a crazed creature.

"No," she said, "No, I am not the one who should give up, I am not the one to surrender and beg!"

She started to scream louder and a dark mist grew around her body.

"Stop it, contestant Folk," the judge intervene, "stop it now or you will be sanctioned."

However, it was too late for the woman to stop. Her figure was now covered in that strange mist, then an enormous green creature appeared from within it. It was the form of a dragon with bright green scales and yellow eyes.

"Stop her!"

Emma didn't think that someone could be that reckless in the tournament, with all those fighters and the Duke's knight ensuring the protection of the participants and the audience.

The admiring gaze towards the small house that was built to mix with nature couldn't compare with the view of her husband that was now wearing only a white robe, a soft white robe that couldn't cover the muscles of his arms and chest.Some drops of water were running down his hair and to his chest, it seemed that he just came out from a magical pool."Liam," she whispered and then turned her head to the side with a blush on her face. At that moment she thanked the mask she was wearing for hiding her shameless face.His perfect body with his exposed chest was a sight to behold for the innocent Emma.

She knew it will be more difficult than the first one as now, no one would fall for her fragile and weak act."I have to go now," she said to the angry man on the side.

    Emma was stunned by such revelation. She knew that her space magic was not something usual for a witch, not even for any dragon that she had heard of. Even Master Jin hadn't explained in detail but she knew it, as she could feel it in his gaze. There was something special in her, something that attracted him to teach her despite not having many skills like the other dragons, she didn't think that she was that worthy. She always knew that it was suspicious but didn't mind it for now."Miss Mina?" Ben looked at Emma with a glint in his eyes, he wanted to ask too about her space magic as it was a first for him to see it.Emma woke up from her daze as she was planning to ask the Duke the next time she sees him. 'Maybe he knows something about this magic,' she wondered."Miss Mina… this… I," he looked troubled."Yes," Emma looked at the young boy that had his eyes shining with a question in his head.

    The rooms the management of Madame Lu assigned to the finalists were on the right side part of the stadium. They looked like bubbles attached to the island, an incredible sight from anyone looking above to the stadium. The little lights shining from the crystal panels seemed like a group of stars.Although the arrangement of the rooms was lacking in comparison with the basement used as the VIP'S private rooms, they looked beautifully adorned and well equipped. Furthermore, the peace and calm they needed before the next stage were not at all negligible. Only the sky and stars would disturb their meditation."How soft," Emma looked at the small bed and sighed. For long ago she hadn't had the opportunity to sleep alone. She wondered if she would be able to do it that night, as she was starting to feel cold without that man's embrace. Somehow he had embedded his warmth in her body, and now it was difficult to stay without it."Sigh…" Her mind couldn't stop re

    "How do you know my name?"Emma's heart was having a bad omen. Her hands were sweaty and her back had a creepy feeling growing on her spine. The way the man talked, it was as if she had heard it before as if he was very intimate with her and she didn't like it, not at all."Who are you?!""My dear, don't you remember me? All of that time we spent together, those sweet moments inside my arms. You were mine, Emma, mine.""That is not true," Emma was scared, there was some possessiveness in his words that make her shiver. It gave her some Master demanding his rightful ownership as if he had always had her and she was supposed to be his."Oh my, I am hurt, my dear Emma," he stepped forward with a hand on his heart, "after all I did for you, this is how you answer me? What a cruel little thing."He was now about two inches from her. The smell of mint from his clothes invaded her nose suddenly, it was such a distinctive smell, however, she couldn'

    "Who was that, Emma?" Liam asked concerned as he caressed her cute little face. "Emma?""That… I don't know."He hadn't expected to find her in that state. She was in the bed sweating cold drops from her head as if she was going through a lot of pain. Even the beautiful strands of her silver hair were soaked in a cold sweat from the anxiety and endurance she had to bear.He clutched his fists as he couldn't follow that man to kill him. Emma's condition was more urgent to attend, later he will have his revenge. However, the only thought of what could happen if he hadn't come in time, sent him a wave of frustration. If he hadn't delayed so much his arrival… then she would be safe in his arms."Emma," he took her into his embrace tightly. "I am sorry I didn't come early.""Don't worry, okay?" she tried to calm him down as she could feel the raging emotions about to erupt.Some hours ago, he was still hesitating from shamelessly ju

    "Ahh!"Inside a small house at the south of Avalor Capital, a man was screaming in pain from the burning leaf on his chest. He couldn't phantom that the Duke would retort to such an extreme and cruel method for a single woman. Even more for an enemy of his country, a witch, a luriem."Your Highness, are you all right?!"The servant kneeling on the floor saw his master struggling to contain the pain. His loud screams were giving shivers to his spine. He had never seen him that way. The thought of helping him with a healing enchantment crossed his mind many times but the man in the bed didn't let him go near him."Don't step any closer, you idiot!"The man knew what the man was thinking. However, he felt repulsed by those thoughts. No one was allowed to pity him. No one.He threw his white mask at the kneeling servant daring the lad to dodge. His raged purple eyes were sending a terrifying aura to the surroundings. So different from his handso

The delicate woman didn't have any choice or he will go crazy, at least this way he will be able to touch her for at least a minute. The soft fabric of the dress was letting him feel the warmth of her body and the smell of her fragrance."Don't," she slapped his hand when he was already moving mischievously around her waist and down. "Stop it.""Sigh… you are so tempting," his voice on her neck make her tremble a little.The night before, he barely stopped himself many times from waking her up to eat her. She was looking so cute while smiling in her dreams. She even dared to call his name many times so charmingly that he almost went crazy.

    Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room.

    "What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

    The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up.

    Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

    The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market.

    I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

    They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

    The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group.
