"You…" The minister who wanted to speak was stopped by Elizabeth as she asked "So why are you here?" "Your Majesty, I came here following my master's aura, she is somewhere here but I don't know where". "So what help do you need from me?" "Your Majesty, as this is your territory wandering around without your permission is not right so I wanted to ask for your permission to stay here for a few days and search for my master" "You want to stay here? How bold of you to make such a request to the queen you beast" the minister who spoke previously spoke again. Sapphire furred her eyebrows annoyed at the minister's words but then getting a hold of herself she turned to Elizabeth ignoring the minister and said, "Your Majesty is this the way people in your kingdom speak to the familiar of the only student of master Kai Von?" "You are Shadow's familiar?" the minister exclaimed in shock. "Yes," Sapphire answered with a calm face. "Excuse his impudence Sapphire, you can stay here for how
Looking at Lea like this Alisha on her side found answers to the questions in her mind. First, she thought this dragon might be Elena's as the dragon mentioned Master Kai Von's disciple during the conversation. But looking at Elena she was sure the dragon belonged to her and this truth shocked her to the core. As Liam had said before if the dragon was this powerful how powerful could its master be? Both Alisha and Lea were broken from their thoughts as Allen approached the group. He looked toward Alisha and Lea and said "Princess, young miss, the queen would like to speak to the both of you in her office now". "Us why?" Alisha asked without thinking. "That you should ask Majesty yourself princess, I am just conveying her message to you" Alisha made eye contact with Lea for a second who nodded at her and then turned back towards Allen and said "Let's go". As the two walked towards Elizabeth's office with Allen the others stared at their backs in confusion as to why Elizabeth h
She looked at Elizabeth a bit angrily and asked "So is this all you wanted to talk about? Can we go? We have planes for today". "Where are you going?" Elizabeth asked surprised. "I am taking Elle shopping as she does not have her clothes here" "Ho… okay" At this moment Sapphire chimed in excitedly "Can I also join?" "No," Elena said sternly. Listening to this Sapphire's excited face became like a dried flower. Looking at her face Alisha felt bad for her "Let her come with us Elle, it will help us come up with a good reason to tell others why my mother called us here as well" Ellena looked at her dragon who was making the puppy face again and then sighed and nodded reluctantly and then with that both the girls left Elizabeth's office with Sapphire following behind them. After they left Elizabeth turned to Allen and asked "Any updates on the task I had given you yesterday?" "My dear queen I did send a few elites to their base but by the time they reached there everyone in the
Hearing this Liam was shocked "What the hell are you talking Alisha? Stop lying…" Then he turned towards others and said "Guys she never told me to call you… infact, she refused to take me as well when I spoke to her last night, and then after convincing her for a long time she agreed reluctantly, and now she is pushing the blame on me" "So you knew they were going out?" Ria asked angrily. "But you did not feel like telling us?" Sharen added with her hands on her hips. "Yes I knew… but… but she made me promise not to tell anyone otherwise she said even I am not allowed to join them" Liam spoke looking bullied. Hearing these words Ria and Sharen turned to Alisha "I what he is saying true?" Alisha looked agitated "A…" At this moment they heard someone laughing and when they turned towards the source of the sound they saw Lea laughing holding her stomach in pain due to the un uncontrollable laugh. Listening to her laugh that sounded like the windchimes ringing very one ea
As the portal opened in the enchanted market, the group walked out of it. The bustling market in front of them was filled with colorful stalls that sold magical goods like enchanting musical instruments, arrays, magical herbs, enchanted robes, accessories, magical creatures, and many more things. "Ha… It's been so long since I came here" Vickey spoke as he smiled happily taking in the scent of the food that was coming from the bakery in front of him. "Guys you go ahead we will join you once we have satisfied our tastebuds and stomach," Jude said as he placed his hands on Vickey's shoulders and walked in the direction of the bakery without looking back. "Hey wait for me I am also coming," Jenny said as she increased her walking pace to catch up with the two of them. Looking at them the others just shook their head with a light laugh. "Does anyone else want to go somewhere else or come with us?" Alisha asked the others as she locked her hands with Lea. "Myself and Lily want
"Sorry Sir, you would have to buy them in a pair only". Listening to this Liam just sighed and then gave his own measurements to the shopkeeper to pack. The shopkeeper did not make them wait for too long as she came back with the couple set and guided them to the billing counter. Once done with the billing the packed gown and the suit were neatly placed in a space ring and the ring was handed over to Liam. Looking at the ring on his figure Liam felt like laughing at himself as he still remembered Lea's words on that day before the attack that she has a fiancé and he here still could not get over her. Looking at him like this Rayan who was silent all this time sighed as he spoke "What are you doing Liam? You only told us that she might not be Aisha as you had thought before and if she is actually a human then you know the both of you can't be together right?". Liam spoke with a broken expression "Even if I want to just forget all these rules and be with her I can't as she
When Sapphire was a baby she had been separated from her family for years. During that time she was unaware of her powers and lived like a beggar on the streets, without a name or a proper home in her human form. It was only when she met Lea that her powers were activated due to the soul bond they shared, transforming her into a dragon and revealing her true identity. Later on, when Lea discovered that her dragon friend had no name, she gave her the name 'Sapphire,' prompting Sapphire to cry like a baby. So, she deeply disliked being called any other names, especially something as impersonal as "dragon girl." Breaking the awakened atmosphere Lea spoke, "What you got snacks for Sapphire or for us as well?". "No, No… we bought snacks for everyone" Jude responded as he started distributing the snacks to the others. At this moment Ria and Lily also joined them. "We met Sharen and Alex on our way here, they asked us to go back to the palace without them as it would take some more t
"I heard about a locksmith who specializes in opening any lock, no matter how old or complex," Sharen explained. "He moves around frequently, but I received word this morning that he's here in the market. We're here to find him." "Do you know what he looks like?" Alex inquired. "No," Sharen admitted. "But he has a distinctive snake tattoo that runs from his neck to eyebrows, and he's over six feet tall. We'll have to keep an eye out for someone who fits that description." Alex nodded, silently acknowledging the task ahead, and together they resumed their search through the bustling dark alleyways where illegal goods were sold. The next day morning… Knock Knock… Lea had just woken up when she heard someone at the door. Rubbing her eyes and stifling a yawn, she shuffled over to open the door, still groggy from sleep. To her surprise, there stood Liam, dressed in his workout clothes, his silky black hair neatly combed back. In contrast, she looked like a mess, her cheeks turning p
As they moved through the corridors, nearing the location of the secret chamber, they heard familiar voice calling out to them—“I know you’re here somewhere and can listen to me Alisha... come out now, or your precious sister dies here even before the poison in her body kills her today.”Alisha’s heart clenched as they all stopped in their tracks, pressing against the stone walls. Carefully, she peeked over the stone railing that overlooked the main hall below.There, standing at the centre of the hall, was Tressa, her cold gaze sweeping the area. And in her grasp—Alina.“And yes you coming here alone is not going to free your sister, bring you friends that Bit*h Lea and Liam as well” Tressa spoke up again as an evil smile creped-up on her face.Elena sucked in a quiet breath beside Alisha as she looked at Alina barely clung to consciousness, her body limp as Tressa held her upright. A sharp blade pressed against her neck and a
On Daniel and Alisha’s side…The journey to where Daniel had last left Master Yi and the others was not so smooth for the group. Due to the battle Daniel had before he met Alisha and the others the enemies were alerted and a small group of them were still searching for them in the corridors.They moved in silence, each of them on high alert. The further they went, the heavier the air felt, as if some unseen force was warning them that something was terribly wrong.Alisha gripped her weapon tightly, her steps quickening. The uneasy feeling clawed at her chest.Daniel was ahead of the group, leading them through the winding corridors with sharp precision. His golden eyes remained fixed ahead, unreadable, but there was a stiffness in his posture—one that only someone paying close attention would notice.Elena felt it too. She glanced at Alisha, but neither of them spoke.Then they turned the last corner and reached the lab bu
Liam and Theo soon reached the secret chamber, inside the air was thick with dust, the scent of old stone and damp earth clinging to every breath Liam and Theo took. The faint torchlight cast long shadows on the walls, making the abandoned space feel even more desolate.Liam walked up to the far end of the chamber where her had found the hidden door to the passage way.He climbed the stairs until he reached the dead-end and then crouched down running his fingers along the rough stone surface, searching for the mechanism to open the hidden passage’s entrance.Theo stood behind him, arms crossed tightly over his chest “You know, this place has ‘bad idea’ written all over it. Just putting that out there.”Liam didn’t look back. “Noted.”With a soft click, the wall shifted slightly as Liam pressed against a loose brick. A narrow gap appeared, revealing the entrance to the underground passage. A gust of co
Alisha processed the information quickly “Then we should regroup with them before we make any further plans. If they succeed in making an antidote, we’ll need it.”Theo, still trying to avoid Daniel’s wrath, clapped his hands together “Great! A rescue mission, sounds fun.”Daniel shot him a look, making Theo shrink back slightly.Elena ignored the tension for the time being “That’s a good idea but before deciding on that, did you guys find anything in the place Theo mentioned about earlier?”Liam turned to her as he calmly explained “We went to the place Theo mentioned and indeed found a hidden chamber there but it was empty.But based on the dusty footsteps on the floor and the space in the chamber its clear that at least a hundred plus people were staying there.Probably that is where Tressa was hiding her people before the attack.”“So it’s of no use?&rdq
As soon as Liam stepped inside the hidden chamber without thinking much Elena rushed forward throwing herself into Liam’s arms. Her fingers clutched the back of his purple cloak as she felt his heartbeat against hers. Relief crashed over her like a tidal wave, and for a brief moment, nothing else mattered.Liam hesitated for only a second before wrapping his arms around her, holding her tightly. His body was tense, but she could feel his heartbeat settle as he exhaled, resting his chin briefly atop her head."You’re okay," she whispered, as if saying it would make it more real."I'm okay," he murmured back, voice low "You're safe, too."Once she relaxed into his arms, she felt a heavy gaze on herself. Something cold coiled in her stomach, a deep-rooted fear that had nothing to do with the enemies outside.She slowly lifted her head to look over Liam’s shoulders— and her blood ran cold as she locked eyes w
On Daniel’s side…He moved swiftly through the corridors, his steps precise as he led the guards away. He could hear the clanking of armour behind him, their pace quickening as they followed the sound of his retreat.“Good. Keep following me” He thought to himself with a victory smile on his face.As he turned another sharp corner he came face to face with another pair of Gantric Knights. The two guards barely had time to react before Daniel struck.His sword slashed through the air, knocking the weapon from the first guard’s hand before driving the hilt into the man’s stomach. The soldier gasped, doubling over.The second guard lunged with a spear.Daniel twisted out of the way, his footwork smooth as he sidestepped the attack. In one swift motion, he caught the shaft of the spear, yanked the guard forward, and elbowed him in the face. The man stumbled, blood dripping from his nose.Then he gather
As they moved through the corridors Master Yi started coughing hardly and as he removed his hand covering his mouth, it was covered in blood.“Am I poisoned as well?” Master Yi muttered to himself.“Did you have dinner at the palace last night?” Daniel asked to which Master Yi nodded “Then you are poisoned as I over heard downstairs that person poisoned the food that was to be served for dinner.”“If that’s true how am I still fine?” Lily asked.“How would I know probably you did not eat the poisoned food” Daniel said.Ignoring the two of them Master Yi spoke “If I am really poisoned, I need to get to my lab as soon as possible before the poison in my body acts up more.”Lily glanced at Master Yi, concern flickering in her gaze, Master Yi was right—if the poison spread further, he might not last long enough to create the antidote. Then she turned to Alina who
Elena leaned her head on the wall behind her as she closed her eyes to calm her mind “I have decided to tell him my truth after this situation is sorted out.”Theo’s eyes went wide in surprise as he looked at his stubborn friend “What did you just say?”Elena opened her eyes and turned to look Theo directly in the eye “You heard me right, I will let him know about my true identity and let him decide how we handle this” Elena leaned her head back again on the wall “Especially after what happened yesterday I don’t think I can forget this relationship and move on or see him with someone else.”Theodore was silent for a moment, watching her closely as if trying to gauge whether she was serious or not. Then, he let out a low chuckle, shaking his head.“Well, well,” he mused, “I never thought I’d hear you say that.”Elena exhaled sharply her gaze still fixed on the
Elena narrowed her eyes “You’re not going alone.”“I’ll be fine.”“No, you won’t,” she snapped.“Lea, please try to understand—” Liam started, his voice firm but edged with frustration.Elena didn’t let him finish “If you’re so insistent, then I’m coming with you.Liam turned to her, his expression hardening “Elena, no… it’s not up for discussion. Taking Kira or Alisha with me was one thing but taking you… NO… I can’t put your life in any kind of risk, please understand.”She lifted her chin defiantly “If you don’t take me with you, I’ll wait until you leave and follow you anyway.”Liam let out an exasperated breath. “You wouldn’t—”Elena’s glare was unwavering. “Try me.”Liam clenched his jaw. He knew her too well, if he left her behind now, she would absolutely sneak out after him and then he’d have to worry about her safety on top of everything else.Muttering a curse under his breath, he made one last attempt
