2024-10-29 19:42:56LANDON'S POV:-
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO:-
I was lying on my bed. A warm light of the candle that was set on a table beside my bed. It was keeping the dark away from me. I was just a kid at that time. I was not even seven. After my mom left the room when she was done with three bedtime stories. I was alone, staring at the ceiling as if I could see the shining stars in the silk black sky. The night looked darker than usual. It was the moonless night. And I always found it difficult to fall asleep in the moonless nights.
Let me introduce myself first like a gentleman. My name is Prince Landon Vulcan. Son of the King Joseph Vulcan. And I lived in the huge castle of our kingdom. You might think of an ordinary kingdom. But actually, no. I belong to a magical kingdom. Our lands were bigger than Europe. But no human had ever seen our kingdom. It was forbidden for any human to even hear the name of our kingdom. It was the mighty land where the first dragon was released from the heavens. Since then, we have lived in that land and my ancestors have been ruling the kingdom ever since.
The other supernatural beings and the creatures of night, they could be born anywhere in this world, but the dragons were only born in our kingdom. Our kingdom was surrounded by the chain of huge mountains. They were all covered with the thick white snow. With every rising sun, snow falls again on those mountains. It happens every single day. Whether it's summer or winter, the snow falls every single day. My dad told me that it was a gift from God. To keep the dragons protected. That was the reason why our kingdom was called Mountainia.
I sighed as I looked at the dark sky again. I knew I had to fall asleep soon. Or I would be lazy on the battlefield. Not that we get to fight on the real battlefield. But we need to be trained. Every single kid in our kingdom knew how to fight in wars. Not that we needed anything like that. Our kingdom was mighty and well protected. But it was one of the strict rules for everyone to learn to fight. Whether it was a war in a battlefield or it was a war inside us. We were trained to fight both.
I closed my eyes and started counting the scales on the dragon's body. I never liked to count sheeps. As the sheep was my favorite food. I always felt hungry whenever I counted sheeps. So my dad told me to count scales on the dragon's body instead. It was reliable and very helpful. And my stomach never growled again while counting so I could have a goodnight sleep.
Just as I was counting the scales, suddenly I heard something unusual. Something I was not expecting to hear as I knew that I was a young prince. I quickly opened my eyes as I thought I mistakenly got connected. I gulped hard in fear. But then I was consumed by curiosity. I could not control myself anymore. I closed my eyes again to see what was going on.
I suddenly found myself standing in front of the source of the power all the dragons possessed. It was the mighty heart of the first dragon. The first of our kind. It was abnormal that the mighty heart was trying to connect with me. I went closer to it and it started glowing brightly. It made me frown even more as it only happened when the king is near to the mighty heart.
I raised my hand and slowly walked towards the mighty heart. It felt as if the mighty heart was calling me. It's beauty and it's powers hypnotized me. I was no longer in control. My brain was as if it was shut down. And the mighty heart was controlling my actions. I was about three feet away from the mighty heart. That was when I heard as if someone was coming into the forbidden room. I quickly hid under the table as if I knew someone was about to see me.
Just then, two men stepped into the forbidden room. I was not able to see their faces. "Wait. I need to touch it before you will take it away. From now on, it will be yours to have. But I need to touch it so I can be the new King of the Mountainia kingdom." I heard a very familiar voice but as I was very scared, I did not recognize it.
The man opened the safe and the mighty heart started beating wildly. It felt as if someone was beating a big drum widely. I covered both of my ears as the man went closer. He touched the mighty heart and screamed loudly in pain. The mighty heart had burned his hand. He fell on the ground and started thrashing as if he was a fish out of water. Without looking at them at all, I crawled out of the room. I opened the door and crawled out. Someone screamed to catch me. I stood up and started running. It all felt so real. I did not know but I felt the heat of the mighty heart inside me.
Someone shook my body aggressively and I opened my eyes. I gulped hard and looked around. It was the loyal minister of my father. He was more like a brother to him. "We need to go, Prince Landon. It is an order from the king. We don't have time to get your things packed up." He told me and I nodded my head. He picked me up in his arms and took me towards the window. He jumped out of the window and ran as fast as he could. After about an hour, we reached the safer distance from the palace. He set me down on the ground and turned into his dragon form. He helped me up on his back and flew away.
"Raymond, wait! I did not get to say goodbye to my parents. Where are they? Are they not coming with us?" I asked him but he did not reply. I did not ask him another question as my father had always told me. He said Raymond was like a brother to my father and I was told to respect him equally as I respected my father. I held his neck tightly as he flew away. At least I knew that my parents were fine. I knew Raymond would never leave them alone without being sure about their security. Or it was what I had thought.

LANDON'S POV:-THREE HUNDRED YEARS LATER:-I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed abruptly. I was all sweaty again. My heart was beating wildly inside my rib cage and my breaths were short as pants. I grabbed the towel that was on my bedside table and wiped the sweat off of my body and my face. I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the clock that was set in my bedroom. I filled a glass with cold water then downed it's content in one go."Always at the same time." I thought to myself and laid back down on the bed. I was having those nightmares ever since we left Mountainia. Raymond brought me to Vienna. Turned out that my father had been saving a lot of money. He had some friends in Austria. He had bought a huge company that built ships in Austria. All I did was to learn to fight and studied hard.After we came to Vienna, R

LANDON'S POV:-I was sitting in the living room with Raymond. I was on a chair and Raymond was sitting across the table. We were playing chess. I never really liked playing chess, it was not my game. But I started playing it for Raymond as it was one of the things my father and Raymond used to do when he was alive. He said it calmed him down whenever he played chess. He was one of the most loyal people my father had.Suddenly, the kettle started whistling. We both looked at each other's faces as none of us set the kettle on the stove. We stood up and made our way towards the kitchen. The kettle was settled in its place. It was not on the stove. I sighed as I understood what was going on. It was a message from some friends who were still living in the kingdom along with my brother.Raymond went towards the kettle and opened it. Red flames appeared in front of our eyes. It was the messenger

BERRY'S POV:-I was standing in front of the counter, waiting for the landlord to give me money so I could go back home. Well, technically, I could send money for my siblings and go back to that shitty hostel where I lived. I really never thought that our lives would be this much difficult. I understood why parents are so important in our lives. After my parents death, my mom's brothers kicked me and my siblings out of the house. They took over everything and changed my father's will. I tried to fight but the actual will was destroyed by my dad's lawyer.I did not have any evidence that I was telling the truth. Seeing my younger siblings starving and sick, I had to stand up to support them. I was grateful to my aunt, who took us in. But they were not very rich. They were barely getting enough to fill their stomachs. That was the reason why I had to stand up. I came to Vienna so I could earn enough to raise my s

LANDON'S POV:-I stepped out of the cart quickly as we suddenly stopped in the middle. I looked around for the reason why we stopped. I saw one of the drivers kneeling on the road. I went towards him and he stood up. "I swear my Lord, she came out of nowhere. We did not even see her." He said as I knelt down on the ground. She had a wound on her head. But she also had some bruises on her neck and her face. Three men came running towards us."Oh God! What did you do? Oh my Berry, please talk to me." One of them started yelling at us. I grabbed his collar aggressively and pulled him up. The other two tried to attack me but my drivers were fast enough to pin them with the ground."What did you do to her? Did you try to force her?" I asked him through gritted teeth. He gulped hard as he saw his men pinned with the ground. He laughed nervously and shook his head."Oh, of

BERRY'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up abruptly on the bed. I was in an unknown place. It looked like a mansion. It was bigger than the mansion my parents owned. I could imagine the size of the mansion with the size of the bedroom I was in. The bed itself was bigger than the living room of my aunt's house. I looked at my body. I had a white clean gown on my body. But as I remembered, I was running naked on the streets to protect myself. "Oh my God, did he get me? Oh God, no please no…" I thought to myself as I tried to remember what really happened.I was offered by the landlord to become his mistress. I had rejected his offer and tried to run away when he tried to abuse me. Then I was running aimlessly to save myself from that monster when I was hit by a horse. Then everything went dark. I could not remember what happened to me after that. Seeing the big mansion, I was convinced that he ha

BALTHAZAR'S POV:-I was walking back and forth in my room, waiting for the news I had been waiting to hear for so long. I could not wait for them to give me the good news. But it was taking longer than I had expected it to be. I stepped out of my room and made my way towards the chamber of the witches who were busy with the process of getting everything done by its time. Of course there had to be a ceremony before we got to place the mighty heart back on its place. It had been centuries when we had lost the only hope of dragon's survival in this mortal world. Of course, we did not belong to this filthy world. Where they live and die just in a century. It was rare to see people living off a century. But those people were nothing but an old burden for the rest of the worMy most trusted man, Kelly stepped out of the chamber of the witches and froze as he looked at my face. His face went pale as if he had seen a ghost.

BERRY'S POV:-I stepped out of the office building and mentally cursed myself for being a stubborn soul. It was really not my fault though. Mr Turner had told me that it would rain by the time we would be going back home. And I looked at him and laughed at him. It was near to impossible. The sun was shining brightly in the morning and there was not a single piece of cloud around the big blue sky. I stomped my foot on the ground as I did not bring my umbrella. And I knew I had to go back home with wet clothes and hair."It will not help with the rain, neither you are going to get an umbrella by stomping your feet on the ground." I jumped as I heard Mr Vulcan whisper in my ear. I looked up and found an umbrella over my head. He came closer to me and rested his hand on the small of my back. He nodded his head and pulled me towards the cart that was waiting for us. He helped me into the cart first then h

At first, I hid behind my mother who giggled seeing my nervousness. They knew well that I was not really a stranger friendly child. Balthazar chuckled and knelt down on the ground. He opened both of his arms for me to hug him. I looked up at my mother who nodded her head with a small smile on her face. Her smile boosted up my confidence and I walked towards my brother. I went to him and wrapped my tiny arms around his neck nervously. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and picked me up from the ground.He inhaled sharply and then he set me back down on the ground. He was not bad. He looked at my father and I did the same. "He smells just like you, father. He even looks like you. He is an exact repl

It was your bitch of a mother who decided to test something on you that was near to impossible. It was neither my fault, nor my mother's." I yelled at her and suddenly I felt a sharp pain inside my head. As if someone was hitting my brain with a hammer. The agonizing pain was unbearable for me. I held my head with both of my hands and started screaming. As if the screams would help me with the pain. But nothing helped me at all."Tsk… tsk… tsk… I should have mentioned to you that you can not disobey me. Or you would feel the most unbearable pain of your life. Don't worry, I just told you that. And it will fade away in a few minutes, if you submit to me." She said while giggling as if it was a joke to her. I was in pain an

I have never thought that you would be a fool. Just like your mother was. Now look at you. You are here, just as I had predicted." I heard a woman's voice. She was taunting at me. I could not recognize the voice but it still felt so familiar."Who are you? And how did you know my mother?" I asked her in an angry tone. She dared to call my mother a fool. I could not bear it. I turned around as I felt someone standing behind me. A woman who looked in her early forties, came out of the shadows. She had a devilish smirk on her face. As if she had won a war or someth

But Elsa, something was very different and unusual about her. It felt like a connection between a metal and a magnet. As if I was drawn towards her. Just a whimper of her could make me run miles back home and hold her close to my chest. It was something I could not understand. But I thought it was because of the mighty heart inside her.I stayed for a few days as Charlie and Berry had asked me. And to be honest, I did not want to go either.

The archangel Michael signalled Landon. Nodding his head, Landon opened the chest. His eyes went wide in shock as he looked inside the chest. The huge heart of the ancient mighty dragon, it turned into a small but strong heart of a baby. Landon gulped hard and he almost forgot to breathe. But of course, he knew it was the power of the great archangel Michael. Turning something impossible to possible, it was one of his tricks."Bring me the baby. This will stay between us both."

And I wanted him to bless Charlie and Berry too. I wanted to spend an eternity with them."So, this is your heaven? I might say I am impressed. People here are so happy.
