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

Azura-Sitting across from Cyran as we ate, I was struggling to understand what was going on. Since this morning, it was like his personality has changed drastically. He wasn’t glaring at me or giving me the cold shoulder.We weren’t talking as we ate, but it just seemed like everything was now working in my favor. I hadn’t even mentioned the idea of getting out of the house. It was strange that he had suggested it.Then there was the kiss. I wasn’t even going to attempt to dissect that. It wasn’t like it had been the first time he had kissed me unexpectedly. This time though, I wished he wouldn’t have stopped. Sneaking a glance at him across the table on occasion, I tried not to get wrapped in the kiss and expect more from him. This entire situation was a complete mess.On the plus side, I was glad to be out of the house even if it was just for a little bit. Looking around the small restaurant, I was happy to see so many people. They weren’t even paying any attention to me, which I l

Azura-That night, I thought I would sleep in the same bed as Cyran, but he had yet to return home. Jade informed me that he and Kellan had left to handle some things. She didn’t know the details but told me not to worry.The next morning, I woke up alone in bed. After searching the house, I learned that Cyran hadn’t returned. I had texted Jade to see if she knew anything, but she didn’t. As the day went on, I began to worry. I didn’t like the uncertainty that I felt not knowing if he was okay.One day, turned to two and then three. I tried to keep myself busy, so I didn’t agonize about it, but it was difficult to concentrate on anything. Jade spent time with me, telling me that it was normal for them to disappear to take care of things. With the killings lately, she suspected it was related to that.I still didn’t like how they disappeared without at least letting us know what was going on. What if something happened while they were gone? I even tried texting and calling Cyran multip

Azura-As Cyran told everyone what happened, my eyes were fixated on Arric. Shortly after we arrived, he showed up and I found the timing strange. It could be a simple coincidence, yet the uneasiness I used to feel around him returned.It didn’t help that his eyes were glued to me as well. Up until now, I have been keeping it to myself, but maybe it was time that I discussed it with Cyran. Despite everything I did trust Cyran, so it was time that I let him know that something was bothering me about Arric.“Did you get a plate number? I can try to locate them.” Jade’s voice pulled my attention back to the situation at hand.“There was no plate. I don’t know who they are, but I don’t think this was random.” Cyran leaned forward in the recliner he was sitting in, placing his elbows on his knees.“I do think it was strange that a human came here.” Kellan was pacing the room, which I noticed he did when he was deep in thought. “If this was planned, then we have a bigger problem on our hand

Cyran-After Kellan left, I leaned back in my office chair. We have spent hours trying to figure out what to do. The situation had also escalated, which didn’t bode well for anyone. Before Azura went to bed, she passed along the portrait she drew of the man that tried to take her.Her artistic skill wasn’t as good as it had been in the past, but it was still accurate. Jade came over for a bit to try to locate the man and she got a hit within thirty minutes. In all honesty, it had been a waste of time, because where she located him was right outside of town. He wasn’t alone either.Our biggest fear had come true. The man, who we found out was named Larry. He was an ordinary human that worked at a bank. At least he had before he had been fired a few weeks ago. There was no other information on him.Jade found out there was a generous sum of money deposited into his account. She couldn’t find the owner of the account that sent the money, since it no longer existed. Kellan and I have conc

Azura-While we ate breakfast, I barely paid any attention to the food Cyran made. I was more focused on everything he was telling me. My mind kept circling back to who hired the man I now knew as Larry. Despite Cyran’s best effort to convince me that Arric wasn’t behind it, I couldn’t help but think I was right.My entire life, at least my present life, I have always had this uncanny sense of awareness. When I had a feeling that something wasn’t right, I always listened to my instincts. I have yet to be proven wrong either. The only time my instincts failed me was when I moved to this town. I kept getting a feeling that I was safe, but then I realized that I hadn’t been safe. I had a feeling that it was because Cyran was nearby though.Even when he irritated me to no end before, I have always felt as if he would protect me. After regaining some of my memories, I realized that even in my past life I had felt safe with him. For the first time since being around Cyran though, I don’t

Cyran-We hadn’t been gone for long, but already I was starting to worry. Tendrils of terror curled in my stomach, enough to make me nauseous. Feeling that something was wrong, I took one hand off the wheel, while I reached in my pocket to grab my phone.While glancing between the road and my phone, I noticed I had an unread message from Azura. After opening the message, I slammed my foot down on the brakes. The car came to a stop, with the scent of burnt rubber thick in the air.“You drive!” I ordered Kellan as we quickly got out of the car to switch seats.Kellan was in the driver’s seat shortly after I entered the car. Reading the message again, I checked the time it was sent. Eight minutes have passed. Cursing at myself for not taking my phone off silent before leaving the house, I clutched my phone tightly in my hand.“Turn around, the girls are in danger.” I didn’t need to say more, because Kellan quickly put the car in gear, and in a matter of seconds, we headed back the way we

Azura-“Are you ready?” I knocked on the bathroom door, where mine and Cyran’s sixteen-year-old daughter was getting ready.“Almost!” Angel yelled although it wasn’t necessary since I could hear her clearly.Tonight was the anniversary of Dragon’s becoming exposed. Everyone called it D-day. This meant that now that Angel had her Dragon, she could fly with her father for the first time instead of as a rider. I was a little envious of them now that they could fly around freely. Somedays I wished that I had become a Dragon and could fly with them.Then again, I was perfectly content with being a Rider. Ever since Dragons have been exposed, things have changed drastically. At first, things had been bad, and we never thought that humans would accept Supernatural creatures.Not all of the supernatural were ready to expose themselves, but that was up to them. Those who have, joined society. There were some that have become employed by humans. Some joined the police force, fire department, be

Cyran-“Release the shield!” I yelled.When the barrier was down, Arion flew into the sky, fleeing as quickly as he could. A moment after he left, the last of the rubble from the building fell, until everything was settled. A large block of cement was atop me, but I was able to throw it off of me with ease.Checking to make sure Azura was okay, I moved away from her when I saw she was fine. Checking the others, I saw that everyone was mostly okay, except for the now humans that were crushed below the rubble. Part of me felt guilty that they didn’t survive, now that they were human, while at the same time, I was relieved they would no longer be an issue.Helping a few to their feet, I returned to Azura’s side and attempted to wipe away the dirt on her face. She placed her hand over mine and looked up at me with love shining brightly in her eyes. She was safe and that was the only thing I could think of right now.“You need to go after him. Until he is dealt with, this isn’t going to be
Guardian Dragon Chapter 54
Cyran-Leaving with Kellan, Azura, and Jade, we made our way to the headquarters of the council. The others lingered behind, so they could prepare. The goal was to catch everyone off guard, which meant we couldn’t try anything right away.Walking into the building with just Azura, Jade and Kellan stayed behind to greet the others. The guard at the entrance wouldn’t allow them to enter anyway. It would be better if Kellan went in as well, but I understood they were being cautious.Standing in the room with the council members and Arion, I had to force myself to refrain from showing my hand just yet. Azura was doing a better job at acting, as she stood behind me, using my body as a shield. I could sense she was nervous, which I was too.There wasn’t any guarantee that things were going to work out in our favor. Right now, all we could do was have a little faith that everyone would do their part. No one spoke a word for a long time until Arion stood up and moved around the long table.“I
Guardian Dragon Chapter 53
Cyran-With the members that would be joining the council, we released the others to return to whatever they were doing. They all agreed to help in any way that they could, but right now we needed to establish the plan. Taking the meeting to Trenton’s house, which was larger, I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.At first, when Trenton told everyone what was going on, I wasn’t sure if they would agree to help. They didn’t seem to trust me, and I didn’t blame them. What my father did was beyond anything I could have imagined, and I had witnessed a lot of it.As Trenton talked more about everything, I began to see hope gleaming in their eyes. It didn’t take as long as I had thought it would for everyone to be on board. Now that we had the members to create a thirteen-member council, including Charles, I knew we were on the right path.The only member on the council that wasn’t a Dragon, was Azura. I discussed it with her as we walked to Trenton’s house, which she had
Guardian Dragon Chapter 52
Azura-“With everything we have, is there a way to face Arion and the council, or do we need more?” I glanced around the room, hoping someone had an idea.Between what I found out about my past and Cyran learning what he did, there had to be something we could do. The only one who seemed deep in thought was Cyran, while the others looked as if they didn’t know what to do. No one said anything for a while, but then I had an idea.“In the past, I had spoken to Trenton about having him meet with Cyran to discuss a way for all of us to work together. Maybe we can still do that. Now that we know they were treated unjustly, perhaps Trenton and the others would be willing to work with us for a long-term solution?” My eyes landed on Trenton as I spoke and hoped that he was still willing to change our future.“I was thinking the same thing. For me to put an end to the current council, I would need new members to appoint. If I could put together another council, we could clean up this mess. Of
Guardian Dragon Chapter 51
Cyran-“That is part of it, but I don’t know the rest of it. I can’t find anything in your memories about it, so I think it was something that happened before your time.” Trenton answered without looking at me.Since there was nothing, I could do about it now, I turned back to watch. We still needed to figure out how to stop the council, but so far all I was seeing was that my father hadn’t been the King I thought he was. Nor had he been the father I had admired.“Why don’t you stop this? As the council, aren’t you supposed to ensure that rules are followed? Isn’t this against the rules?” Little Cyran asked the council member who stepped forward to observe the younger version of Trenton who was being beaten with a whip.“Little boy, your father holds all the power. The council is here to enforce his rule and we all agree with him. It is because your father chose us as his council that we are able to do what we can to control things. Since you won’t remember this, I have no problem tel

Cyran-“Let’s track down any potential Dragon Stone Keeper that was born around the time of Cyran. Cyran was born. Most Keepers are around the same age as their Guardians. Once all of them have been captured, we will expand our search to capture others.” My father said while getting agreeable nods from the others.I wasn’t sure how to feel right now. There were too many feelings rushing through me. There was anger, confusion, disbelief, shock and so much more.“What will happen after we capture them, and you die? How can we ensure that they will be killed?”“Let me worry about that.” My father had a smirk on his face like he already knew what he needed to do.I waited for them to talk more, but shortly after they began to leave, and Trenton sped time along. When we stopped, we were now standing in the backyard, where my father had us kids trained. I didn’t see him or Arion, but Arric and I were training with one of my father’s warriors.A few minutes passed and I wondered why we stopp
Guardian Dragon Chapter 49
Cyran- “Are you ready for this?” Trenton asked the moment he walked in the door. Looking over at Azura who was snuggled next to me on the couch, I could tell she didn’t want me to go. We already discussed it this morning. She was worried about something going wrong. Tightening my hold on her, I pressed my lips against her forehead. “It will be okay.” I assured her, although I didn’t believe it myself. She nodded her head after a few moments of hesitation. Giving her a smile, I pressed my lips against hers, before releasing her and standing up. Azura stood up beside me and threw her arms around me, faster than I had ever seen her move. “Please be safe and no matter what happens, remember I am here waiting for you, and we will get through it.” She spoke into my ear and clung to me. “I promise.” I wrapped my arms around her and almost had to pry her from me, although I wished I didn’t have to leave her. The words she spoke were similar to the words I had whispered to her after she
Guardian Dragon Chapter 48
Azura-My head felt as if it were pounding. Every molecule in my body felt heavy as if I had been drinking heavily the night before. Pressing my hands to my head, I heard myself groan. I didn’t open my eyes, but when I felt a soft touch against my forehead, I sighed contently.“How are you feeling?” The sound of Cyran’s voice jarred me and I quickly opened my eyes and sat up.“Fine.” I blurted, although I was far from fine.He moved toward me, with one arm sliding across the back of the couch. Scooting away, I pulled my feet onto the couch, while wrapping my arms around my legs. I still remembered what happened, so I believed that Cyran was better off not having me around.Not that I was going to kill myself or anything, but I needed to think of a way to keep myself safe while staying as far away from him as possible. Kellan scoffed and I immediately knew he was invading my thoughts. Glaring at him he held up his hands in defense.“We made a promise, yes, but I had to at least make su
