:RHYS’s POV
“Ah that,” Luna brightly muttered. “Since I was a child, I can see a human and dragon’s uniqueness! Humans are only normal to my eyes while dragons, they have some colorful orb enclosing them!”
She ended with a grin painted on her face.
Who in the world are you, Luna? There is no doubt that the blood flowing in your veins is gifted. Not just any gift, is it possible that Luna is part of the Rossel Family?
That clan did not grow that much and is said to have flowed in one line throughout their generation. Dantalion is the only child of the Rossel household, so where did Luna actually come from?
She mentioned meeting someone yesterday who has those same grey eyes like hers. It is no other than Dantalion himself, right? But I wonder, is Luna familiar to him when he met her?
I did not unveil this issue to that green-haired demon yesterday and if I wer
: RHYS’s POVThis is interesting. A dragon is actually roaming around this area.As I stared at the grey average dragon in front of me, never did I think what I desire for will just walk in front of me.Yeah, for some reason he lost his control when he saw me. That grey-haired guy back then shouted with rage as he transformed into a dragon. He even clamored those three words at me.“Stay away, run!”I do not care that much why, though.I personally took these daggers back from the castle for the reason no more than defense, and they don’t quite perform well in combat in the way as blessed swords do.Even though it is a big drawback for me, sad to say, I won’t be enjoying this match either since this weapon is special. One wound with this could temporarily turn a dragon back into its human form.Well, let us just hope his scales do not shatter easily.
: THEON’s POVAs that faint sound of roar reached my senses, I knew something was wrong.“Damn, where is it?” I frantically spat as I sprinted into this dark wood.Ryu informed me that Rhys kind of also strolled here, and David is somewhere in this forest. Then was this commotion the result of their convergence?I only let Ryu come with me, while I forbade Luna, Liam, and Ane to come. It could also save me from having more and more conflict between them. As Ryu’s destination is on the east, I assigned Fish to the west, and I then headed south.That woman, what is she thinking? Strolling in such a place without a companion is tantamount to suicide.I dashed deeper into the woods when another lapse of a loud growl echoed in the background, causing me to stop to analyze where it came from. I changed my course to the right, running at my full speed before the sound fades away.
: RYU’s POVAs I silently sat on this marble bleacher at the courtyard after I exit Theon’s room, leaving those small swords at his table. I cupped my nape with both of my hands before leaning on the back of the bench, staring at the vast blue sky.“Grey-like orbs, huh,” I softly mumbledGifts. I have seen a glimpse of Luna’s exceptionality before I came to learn about gifted humans.When we have a chat back then at the dining table, she actually guessed that I am a dragon without me hinting at it to her. It wasn’t an astounding hunch and yet; I was suddenly snooping how she guessed it right.I thought she just had a keen eye since she grew up with this herd of dragons. I was expecting her to relate her answer from physical affirmations but she said otherwise. Magic, she said she can see through a dragon.---just like that guy.She indeed
: ANEMONE’s POV“Fish, we have to do something!” I hastily exclaimed at this dark grey-haired guy, sitting in front of me on his desk. “That woman had killed some of us. We must eliminate her before she takes the chance to kill us." I pointed to my right. "And—and Mister Ryu, those two might be together in this!”“Don’t give such blatant assumptions, Ane, it is nothing like that.” He muttered as he rested his chin on his intertwined fingers, “Everything is under control than what you have in thought.”“What makes you so sure?” I madly inquired, “You know what happened to David, that psycho almost killed him. What if she’ll never stop?”“So you do not trust him then?” He narrowed his eyes, making me jolt in realization. I glanced away, hiding my face from him. He has a point but, I don’t want to lose
: THEON’s POV “I feel sick.” I mumbled as I rested my cheek on the rough surface of my table, feeling my stomach turn around like a whirlpool. It has been growling too loud lately that I can’t even stay at the dining table for more than a minute. Where did I get these? Was it from our food earlier? “Come on, Theon,” Luna exclaimed after she entered my room with her furnished ponytail matching her new orange dress outlined with white maple leaves at the brim, ready for the festival, “Midnight is coming,” “I’ll pass,” I mumbled with my weak, sour voice. “But,” She pouted, “Everyone will go, except for Rhys though.” Yeah, simply because she is injured; I don’t think she can go. Now that I am kind of sick, I don’t want to move a muscle with this twirling belly. The festival is a one-week celebration; I will visit right after I am fine. “Go on now,” I uttered, sending her off on her journey, “Mid
“I guess there is no helping then,” I muttered, and then cupped the right side of my face with my cold palm. “Since Ane failed to hurt me after knowing my identity. We’ll have to wait for the one last bet to finish.”That demon! Interfering with my goals. He has the guts to stick his nose in my game. What is he up to?Why did he suddenly decide to help this green-haired devil?I can’t blame him if he started continuing his lame plan, but it doesn’t matter now. The last bet is something he cannot predict and impede. It is such a bother I made this bet to work fair and square.Unpleasantly, my mind flashed a horrible memory. Back to the time I actually cried.--once again.Those tragedies that once troubled me before do not inflict the same pain anymore. Instead, it only made me recognize it, sadness.How troublesome.From the corner of my eye, I noticed him move, making me glance at him.
: DAVID’s POV“It is getting late,”I mumbled as I stood at the entrance of the town, waiting for a certain person to show up. The cold air embraced me while the cacophony of chattering voices jammed my ears. A gentle wind wailed, taking along the pleasing scent of the once stapled cuisines.Even though losing my other vision is making my head throb, the bright placements of lights were a lambent sight.At this rendezvous. I want to spend my time here with her.---but I am just the guy whom she barely notices.Just like her, I kept this ardent feeling for myself. I have lived long enough to understand that such affection can artlessly spawn, but the act of reciprocation isn’t some sort of bonus.Taking the risk is beyond me and yearning for more is out of my league, knowing that we do not feel the same.Asking for such a meeting and expecting her to come is some intrepi
: ANEMONE’s POV“Calm down, Ane,” I furiously mumbled to myself as I walk straight ahead, “David is not acting weird, it is just like Theon. That their trivial gentleness does not mean something more like special meanings.”You are no special Ane, to begin with.You are just one desperate woman longing to be loved and because of that, you almost lead someone to their misfortune. With those stains, you have no right to love again.David has been with me as a friend, and I don’t want to cross that line twice.Since I am now free from my old self, I have the need to maintain it. I guess.Your priority right now is to protect those that are important to you without the necessity to have them do the same.So Ane, you do not need a hear—“Oy,” A warm hand suddenly gripped my cold one. I shivered upon the contact, compelling me to stop.
