Sme·ràl·do [Authors: Aysha Khan & Zohara Khan] 39. DRAGON TEMPLE
~The shadow is growing biggerBut it's okay because you are my big lightBecause you are the profit in my lifeJust smile like you always doYou resemble me so muchI resemble you so muchAt times, I get scared for no reasonWhy am I feeling like this?~ -(Jungkook, PROD SUGA) Stay Alive ----- ------- ------- -------- ----- ---- ------ ----- ----- Stefanos: “So what do you think we should do now? Settle back in, or go after Xenia?” “Settle back in? Are you even hearing yourself Draco? We came all this way and you just want to let your best friend die here, in the hands of some ruthless monster?” I asked, the very man sitting in front of me as we were lounging ourselves in some kind of a tea shop. Wraya was God knows where; remind me to never let the dragon lose to some god forsaken land which he so much wants to explore. “Then what do you suggest we do? Go monster hunting? I mean you heard what those peasants were saying back there, that the castle is

~It goes round and round, why do I keep coming back?I go down and down, it feels like I’m a foolNothing can help meIt’s my heart, my mind and my soul, but they don't listen to meOh well, I’m just talking to myself again (Talking to myself again)I’m just talking to myself again~ -(BTS) I Need U --- ------- ------- --------- --------- ------- -------- The ground beneath their feet crunched at every step they took, as the two alphas made their way into the depths of the market place, ready to execute the plan. Just like the previous day, they stood beside the board of notice, for beside it was a tea stall, where an old man was selling cheap tea. However cheap, his little stall seemed to be packed with customers, farmers finishing up the day with a hot cup of tea. And to share the days gossip. Stefanos glanced at Draco, and the duo nodded at each other, before Draco begin. "My my, look at my precious brows falling off! My clothes almost in tatters!

~This life like a war I'm always the loserYou were my savior (No doubt, no doubt, no doubt)On the edge of the cliff your light leads meMaking me a winner (So right, so right, so right)~ -(TXT) Loser=Lover---- ---- ----- ----- --- ------ ------ ---------Stefanos:The distorted and blurry views of grey and ashen debris were the first thing that met my eyes. My body was sore and the left side to my stomach, the side which I was laying on was throbbing and crawling with a horrible yet painful distaste that I could taste the bitterness of it right in my tongue.The first and foremost question that rang through my head was:Where am I? Where was Draco, Wraya? Are they all dead?As I inhaled the smoky and deadly air, I didn’t just groan because of it but also the excruciating pain that was flowing through me right now.Soon, I felt my senses turning from dull to light when I felt the pressure of my muscles and I could finally get up, it wasn’t an

~I don’t know who loves me And I don't care, it's a waste anyway Such a trill I'm a little scared~ - (TXT) Anti-Romantic ----- ----- ---- ----- ------- ---- -------- ---- ---- ----The two men stared at the figure enclosed in darkness with horror evident in their faces, Stefanos jumping towards the thick metal bars that held them inside and clutching on to them as he stared at his Dragon. "Wraya! Wraya are you alright? Can you hear me?" It seemed like the questions fell into deaf ears, for as the words left his mouth, no reply came, which only scared the men even more. Then, out of nowhere, someone groaned amongst the darkness, revealing a Bat like wing towards the alphas. "I've...been better." Wraya croaked out, while Stefanos and Draco sighed out in relief, glad that he was alive. "Are you okay, sire?" "You don't have to worry about him, worry about yourself!" Draco retorted, but as he said that, the two men spied yellow eyes staring towards Stefano

~West side east sideDidn’t know where to where to goTonight we rideThe silence of this nightThat door in the darkness is openedWho blocked anyone,no oneWest side east sideIt doesn't matter anymore~ -(TXT) PumaStefanos:"Stand up. His Majesty wants to have an audience with you."I watched the worry and confused glances passed between Wraya and Draco, at the moment even my heart started beating rapidly with the thought of why the King wanted to see me.Aren’t I like any other prisoners here? Unless he punishes the people who talk ill about him separately?“Can I know what it is about…?” I asked, knowing well enough that the guards would say anything than reply my question. Yet I asked in hope for an answer.“We are not to question His Majesty’s order, if he asked for you we are only supposed to follow the order, now if you may please step forward.” The guard replied rather rudely, whom I could sense was a beta considering with his sturdy built than t

~Not loosing our spirit Make it move, left and right No matter who you are Make it move, left and right Two bare feet are our gasoline, yeah, yeah Let's go, are you ready? Yeah, yeah Okay, let's go!~ - (BTS) Run BTS ----- ------ ------- ------- ------- ----- ---Draco had been stuck in a trance, completely unaware of his surroundings only to be pulled back in to reality when the sound of the prison bars rattled and in stormed a furious looking Stefanos. No sooner had the male arrived, Draco jumped to his feet, staring at the man. "What happened? What did the King want?" But the man in question didn't seem to reply, for he was busy stalking all over the tiny cell, his hands in his head as he muttered the same thing over and over again. "We need to get out of here...we need to find a way out...we need to get Xenia out...now...we need to leave now..." "Stefanos calml down! Tell me what happened." Draco tried again, and this time Stefanos had actually sto

~Before I held you, I didn’t knowThat the world I was inWas this bright I reached you with a small breath of lifeIt’s a love that called out to me fearlessly~ (Ailee) I Will Go To You Like The First Snow -------------- --------------- Stefanos: “I say we break open these door.” Draco suggested. We were currently lounging on the ground, both trying to come up with a better plan on how to get ourselves out. “The longer I get to know you, the funnier you keep getting. Do you even know what you’re talking about? We are wolves Draco, not dragons.” I said, trying to learn some defence positions with the dagger I stole. “Well than you tell me a better plan? I suggested something at least, while you’re just swinging a dagger here and there so uselessly” Draco fired back, a bored expression in his face as he watched me. “This dagger, right here is going to get us out and that’s why I’m practising with it.” “Wha-” “I noticed one thing familiar by staying

~I appeared in front of you I am right here tell me with your own lips say yes say yes without knowing I must be going to you the blowing wind will tell you my feelings love is true~ -(Punch ft.LOCO) Say Yes, Moon Lovers Scarlett Heart Ryeo -- --------- -------- ------ -------- --------- Stefanos stumbled backwards as the words of the omega settled down. While the omega whimpered for what was to happen next, Stefanos glared at the floor, and Draco ran his fingers through his hairs messily. He could not believe what he was listening. After all this time, after all that they tried, this is where they had ended up. Now where in this whole damned Palace would they find her? "Stefanos..." Draco called, but the said man was already taking steps backwards until he was out of the room and walking out, much to his companion’s surprise. "Stefanos! Where are you going!?" Cursing under his breath, Draco exited the room as well, not bothering to shut the d

Sme·ràl·do [Authors: Aysha Khan & Zohara Khan] AFTERWORDS
Have you ever wondered, what could be the difference between something that sounded just the same as another, only that they weren't same at all, and instead were complete opposites? Did it ever occur to you that sometimes, we often used them together, calling them to be the same and not knowing its true definition or even if we did, we didn't really care. We didn't really care what it meant unless something tragic happened to us, and we are forced to look into its deeper meaning. One such thing, was this. The definition of loving yourself. To many, it sounds like a narcissistic thing to do, thinking too high of oneself or feeling like they are better than everyone else in all aspects. Yes, that is what many think loving yourself means. But that, my dear readers, is where we confuse ourselves. Loving yourself is not narcissistic, it's...embracing yourself. Because not every single person out there believes they are better than others, that they are higher in status, prettier, or a

~I'm cryingThat’s disappearedThat’s fallenLeft alone in this sandcastleLooking at this broken mask And I still want youBut I still want you~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ------ -------- ------- -------- ------ A cold silence fell over the room as the seven young man took in every words just uttered by one of them. No words escaped their lips, no thought spoken out loud, for not only were their minds clouded at that moment, but their hearts began shattering as well. They did not know these people, never even met them and here they were, mourning at the loss the masked man had to go through, grieving alongside him and the one that told Niccolo the story. To them this was a story that was life changing, and it wasn't an exaggeration, it was a fact, and they were the proof. For now, they felt like they were seeing the world a little differently. "It was after their return from Elixie." Niccolo slowly started again, wiping his glasses with a handkerchief absentminded

~I started to become greedyI wanted to live with you, grow old with youHold your wrinkled handsAnd say how warm my life was~ -(Ailee) I Will Go To You Like The First Snow --------- --------- ----------- ------- -------- "Dear Stefanos, If you are reading this, then I guess you already know what has happened. That I'm gone. But we made a promise, didn't we? To share our final secret with each other? So I'm writing this to you, wishing and hoping that you find it like I hope you will. This is the first time I'm actually writing a letter to someone, and it will probably be the last. It feels odd how I had never really used my ability to write once childhood had left me. And now here I am. You see, when I was but seven years old, a healer had told my father I was ill, and that I would die young. Terrified, he decided to look for a cure amongst plants and herbs. Up until then, our lives had been nothing but merry, just what a seven year old child could wish for. My f

~Maybe back thenA littleJust this muchIf I had the courage to stand before youWould everything be different now~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold --------- ---------- --------- --------- ---------- Stefanos: I still want you… Even after the news of Xenia’s death, even after Draco broke down in front of me, even after I found myself blacking out in the middle of the market place I was still stuck with one thought for the last five days. Xenia was no more. My omega, the first person who made me open up, my mate…the precious part of my soul was no more. How is it that just two months ago you see the person you love the most near you, happy, alive and breathing only to realise the next moment that you were too late. Too late to ever see them again. I had never felt this level of despair, had never felt like life was this empty. Nothing had ever compared to this, to losing my love. I couldn’t imagine a worse pain than this. It literally felt like my heart was bein

Three days until the village of Vesilios had a chance to finally see the Smeraldo flower in its true form and not just a tale told from books. Three days until the villagers had a chance to actually buy it for the offering. But the one to sell them was nowhere to be seen. Stefanos stared out of his bedroom window, down at the garden with a firm look, as if he could not understand where his math calculation had gone wrong. Although he was high up, Stefanos could easily spot the vibrant colours of the Smeraldo's as they bloomed for a new day. He had been so excited to tell Xenia all about it. His adventures in trying to obtain the seeds from the Elk Forest, how it took him

~Bloomed in a garden of lonelinessA flower that resembles youI wanted to give it to youAfter I take off this foolish mask~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ---------- ------------ ---------- ------------ ----- Stefanos: The seeds were in a soft mixture in shades of pink, purple and blue. They were beautiful, even as a seed they were glowing like Safire’s and Jade’s. How come something like this so magical and ethereal exist and I had no idea about them? Just watching those sitting on my bedroom table on a jar still had me questioning how I managed to have these. Was this really the famous Smeraldo flower seeds like everyone is talking about? Flower seeds were more precious than anything to me and knowing that I had these seeds in my possession really flattered me. Usually I had a manual on how to grow different plants but this time I was left with no choice but myself, I’ve searched around everywhere for any book containing the basics of growing this flower but ther

~I'm shaking and afraid but I keep going forwardI'm meeting the real you, hidden in the stormWhy did I want to hide my precious self like this?What was I so afraid of?Why did I hide my true self?~ -(BTS) Epiphany ------ ------- -------- ------- ------- ------ "Sire, let me come with you." "No Wraya, I have this under control." "Those men said there are dangerous creatures in there, you need me." "Those men like telling tales to get into people's head, and judging by your reaction, I believe they succeeded." "Even then, let me come with you." "You will draw too much attention Wraya." "Sire-" "What is going on?" Came a different voice than that of the said dragon’s master, making Stefanos and Wraya almost jump out of their skins. "Merciful Luna! Do that again and I will ban you from getting inside my tower!" Stefanos shrieked at Draco, clutching his heart in the process while the blond only watched with a frown. "You can't ban me, you need me." "Why does everyo

Yes, seeds. The first and only thing that I remembered as soon as I woke up the next morning. All my plants were dying and Xenia needed more money and if this is the only way to help her, I should do my best. “Wraya!” In no time the dragon was flying over to my room, tensed on why I was summoning him at this early hours of the day. “Yes sire, you called?” Landing swiftly on the ground he stood with his hinge legs folded on the front. “We need to go buy more seeds, Xenia is in desperate need for money and I need to help her.” I dragged myself from the bed and walked back and forth, my eyebrows furrowed in deep thought on what seeds will be more beneficial. “But sire…haven’t you

~Loving youIs such a painful thingFeelings that can’t be emptiedIs such a sad thingMy dear, don’t forgetMy unstoppable love~ - (Davichi) Forgetting You, Moon Lovers Scarlett Heart Ryeo Stefanos stared at himself in the mirror, for the first time over a decade, he had unveiled the long mirror in his room as he stared at his reflection, his lips pressed into a thin line. While he remained calm on the outside, his insides seemed like they would explode from the pressure he was building inside him, his hand turning red from how tight he had fisted them. Meanwhile, Wraya leaned his large head against the window with a bored expression, his eyelids hooded in real boredom. "Sire, what are you doing?" "Staring at myself in the mirror Wraya." "I can see that, but why?" This had Stefanos’s attention, as he glanced at the reflection of Wraya, loosening a little bit of pressure. "What do you mean why? Aren't you happy? Surprised? Your master is looking at himself in the
