POV of the mythical bird, associated with death and prophecies-I am Gamayun. Just a regular bird out in the sky of the mighty dragon realm. As I soared high in the sky, I could see the realm stretched out beneath me. Today, another Royal Dragon funeral was taking place, but it was not like any other I had seen before. The atmosphere was thick with grief and sadness, and even the clouds seemed to have turned a somber shade of grey. The air felt heavier around the palace as if it had covered itself with a cloak of sorrow. However, the deceased was not even a dragon, but a human woman named Liana, who had become the accidental mate of Dragon Lord Draco. She had sacrificed her own life to save him from the Ivory Blade, and her act of bravery had left a deep impact on all the dragons present here.The funeral pyre has been erected in the center of the open field, and it towered high into the sky. The pyre was made of the finest woods and adorned with intricate carvings that depicted the
As I stumbled back into my chambers, the weight of Liana's absence crushed me like a boulder. I tried to keep my composure in front of my subjects, but inside I was torn apart. My breaths came out in ragged gasps, and my heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.I clenched my fists, feeling the familiar sensation of flames building up in my throat. But this time, I couldn't control it. I let out a roar of agony, the sound echoing through the stone walls of my chamber. My rage consumed me, and I smashed the nearest vase with a swipe of my other hand. The sound of shattering glass brought no satisfaction, however. It only fueled my despair. I roared again, letting the flames erupt from my throat and scorch the nearby furniture. The heat was nothing compared to the inferno raging inside me.Liana, was gone. She was not coming back. How could she leave me so soon? We were supposed to get married, I was supposed to proclaim her as my mate, to rule our kingdom side by sid
" Where could he have gone? It's impossible that he would disappear on us, on his son, all of a sudden. Specifically at a time like this! "Master was pacing the corridors of the Royal Palace as the guards came back with reports one by one.It was Damian who had pushed the locked doors of his father's room open when nobody else dared. To their surprise, they saw the wrecked place but found the Dragon Lord was absent. The entire kingdom went into high alert.And the news of the high alert situation spread like wildfire, panic gripped the hearts of every citizen. The air was thick with tension and paranoia as the palace guards scrambled to get the situation under control. The sound of wings flapping and claws scraping against the ground filled the air as scouts rushed out to search for any sign of the missing Dragon Lord.Inside the palace, chaos reigned supreme as every room was being turned upside down in search of any clues. The sound of furniture being moved and cabinets being open
And then there was Draco, with his feet planted firmly on the wall, his bare hands clenched into fists at his sides. On the other side, the ferocious Hell Hounds howled, their eyes fixed on their prey. The air was thick with tension, as if a single wrong move would trigger an all-out battle.Behind him was a Ring of fire. An inescapable Ring of Fire, that he had breathed out himself. And inside that fire were trapped his own soldiers. Draco didn't need their sympathies or their distractions. He wanted to crack some knuckles in peace and his loyal subjects weren't allowing him that. " We will stand between you and the Hounds till our last breath my Lord, " one had chirped as the others had joined him with bowed heads and sitting on their knees. Draco shook his head and chuckled. "Alright.Alright.How many of you are willing to die for me? "He asked, very amused. He was amused because his soldiers did not contradict his irrational order to break into the Hell Hounds' formation on th
Body Weapons were like a miracle in the Dragon World. It was said that it manifested only when a true king was in dire need. Not only that. The heart of that king must have had experienced all seven sorrows in life. It aught to know heartbreak and longing, compassion and a sense of giving, bravery and leadership, betrayal and subordination, it aught to reach the highest ecstasy in life, only to fall in the deepest pit of grief and depression. For someone like Draco, such a feat was unimaginable, no matter how far and wide his reputation spread. Nobody could ever imagine how deep his emotional turmoils were as were his physical ones. This feat was unheard of for centuries. Even before the times of Draco's grandfather's. It meant that, nobody alive had the good opportunity to witness, such a spectacular miracle. No wonder Master was shaking with excitement, because he knew how important this achievement was. For Draco, however, this meant nothing at the moment. He just wanted an
As I lay in my slumber, I felt myself slipping away into a realm of wonder and enchantment. My body felt weightless, as if I were soaring through the sky, and the world around me was awash with colors that I had never seen before.I saw her then, my Liana, standing before me with a grace that only a human could possess. Her hair was as dark as the night sky, and her eyes glowed with a fire that could rival the stars. I felt my heart leap with joy at the sight of her, and I rushed to her side.She smiled at me, a smile that was both familiar and foreign all at once. "Draco," she said, her voice echoing through the dreamlike landscape. "It's been so long."I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "Liana," I whispered. "I missed you so much."But instead of reciprocating she said something that sliced my heart up further. "I have to go," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "But know that I will always be with you."I was not ready to listen to anything. Not with her right in front
I woke up to the darkness that surrounded me, my heart beating faster than ever before. It was just a dream, but the pain was so real that it felt like a living nightmare. I closed my eyes and tried to shake off the thoughts that consumed me since I had seen her lifeless face but I couldn't escape them.In my dream, I saw her again. She was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were lifeless. She was dead. And I couldn't help but feel responsible for her death.I got up and stretched my wings, the muscles aching from the tension. I walked to the edge of my cave and stared out into the darkness, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Suddenly, I heard a voice."L-Lucian?" The voice was weak and trembling, but it was very familiar. It was Liana's voice.I turned around as swiftly as I could and saw her - Liana, the human woman who stole my heart. She was standing at the entrance of my cave, her eyes fixed on me. For a moment, I couldn't move, couldn't speak. I just stared at her, wondering if
I opened my eyes, and the world was blurry. I tried to shake my head to clear my vision, but something was stopping me. I felt a tightness around my neck and realised I was still wearing the collar they used to keep me stable while I was unconscious.."Draco, you're awake!" Master exclaimed, his voice filled with joy.I looked around the room, trying to piece together what had happened. Memories of Liana, flooded my mind. Was it all just a dream? I couldn't tell."Where am I?" I asked, my voice hoarse and weak."You're at the infirmary," Calix replied. "You've been unconscious." He added. My heart sank. "Liana..." I whispered. "Was she real?"Calix and Master exchanged a worried glance. "Draco, we need to talk," Master said gently.My confusion turned to dread. "What happened? Where is Liana?"Master hesitated before speaking. "Draco, Liana...she passed away , don't you remember? You must have had a dream about her. You almost got yourself killed when you took all those Hounds out ,
Draco and Kiara travelled extensively between the dragon and human realm. They were blessed with twins within the span of the next couple of years. They named the twins Casius and Christopher. Draco stopped annexation of more lands. Even the Hell Hounds were glad to have a truce after the devastation that Draco had caused them. As news about Draco's changed demeanor and the miraculous rebirth of Kiara spread, more and more creatures from all around the dragon realm, came forward to form an alliance.It seemed like everything was falling in place. Nemesis had joined the ranks and was serving the kingdom as an honourable general. There was a huge uproar when Draco had declared that he was revoking the rule that forbade mating with human. " Anybody and everybody has the right to love whoever they wish, under my kingdom, " he had concluded with an iron fist. He had to pay by bearing an entire night under the Thunder Tree. That was his price for revoking a law that was existing. K
" So, am I truly your deepest desire Draco? "Kiara walked out of her room in a crop top and a pair of loose pants. They were at Liana's place, rather Kiara's. Draco asked Mystic Joe to get the papers ready in his name. They were back together in the place they first fell in love, the land of the human beings.Draco was reclining on the couch , the remote of the tv in his hand. He looked up at his lady love, his beloved wife, his Liana who was and always would be Kiara, his queen. " You look stunning. "He smirked as he pulled her over himself into a kiss. " The clothes of the human world suit you well, my queen. "Kiara broke off at that remark and pulled away from him. " What happened? Did I say anything offensive? " Draco asked, looking a little puzzled. " You never were like this with Liana, were you my king? Do you still not see me in the same light? " Draco looked into her eyes and smiled. He grabbed her arms and pulled her out with him. He jumped through the window with h
It didn't take long for the dragon troops to assemble where we were. But it neither bothered Lucian nor did Draco care. " I returned with the bloom of the Crystal Petal!"I tried to answer their curious looks but it further muffled them. " Crystal Petal? Are you saying it bloomed after million years? "Lucian asked. " It blooms in a million years only if it seems the ruler fit to grant him his deepest desire... " It was Master who came forward with the answer this time. " My deepest desire? "Draco turned towards him, looking rather co fused. It made Lucian smile. No, it was a scoff. " Yeah, right! Kiara could never be the one you desired. You were dying for your human fling. Seems like the heavens made a great mistake. Or are you not the ruler in it's eye. "Everybody gasped at what just left Lucian's lips. " Silence! Lucian , are you saying you had nothing to do with Draco's human fling? " " You know about Liana? " He asked me back, and it was clear how impossible he though
Before our feet could touch the surface of the dragon realm, I felt Lucian's hand slide behind my waist. Before I could turn my gaze towards him, he grabbed my hips and turned me around to face him. " I cannot pretend anymore. "I saw Draco make a smooth landing and then turn towards us. " I have suffered enough. You have suffered enough. I don't know by what dark witchcraft you were resurrected again, you I cannot let go of you any more. "Lucian's eyes reflected that mad audacity that lunatics had in them. It was futile trying to fight them. They were past any reasoning or explanation. " Let go of Kiara right now, Lucian! "It was exactly what I had feared. Draco was on my other side, with his fangs bared. " You... " Lucian scoffed at Draco. " What do you even care about Kiara, moron? " He stepped between me and Draco, poking him right at his chest. " She was just a baby making machine for you and you did get what you married her for. Now go live with your heir my beloved drag
I descended gracefully from the sky, my iridescent scales shimmering in the sunlight.The air in the human world seemed exceptionally sweet as I breathed in a lot of it. I could see them from a distance, tangled in a dead lock, each clawing the other as their blood dropped on the ground. They had attracted a lot of human attention. I could see that from a distance. I knew Lucian never gave a f*ck about rules or consequences but Draco? He was supposed to be the Dragon king. How could he become so careless. It was at this point that I saw them both freeze. They literally became statues , hovering in the air as their necks turned, in slow motion,towards my direction. They sensed my presence, and confusion washed over their faces as they stared at me. I could see the shock and disbelief etched upon their majestic features. Draco's fiery eyes widened, while Lucian's piercing gaze flickered with a mix of hope and uncertainty. Their bodies remained tense, locked in a position ready to c
Master was sitting alone in his room, drinking alone. It was clear that his mind was preoccupied and he looked a little disturbed. His mind was consumed with thoughts of the queen's mysterious resurrection. He pondered over the strange circumstances surrounding her return to life, unable to shake off the feeling that something significant was at play. His brow furrowed as he brooded, lost in the depths of his contemplation.Just as the silence of his solitude began to settle, the door to his room burst open, and Raba, rushed in, her scales shimmering with urgency. "Master!" Raba exclaimed, breathless from her haste. " I beg your pardon for this rudeness but you must come quickly! "Master's eyes widened in surprise, his thoughts abruptly interrupted. " There is something really urgent that you need to see! "She literally grabbed Master's wrist and pulled him towards the Royal security chambers. " Raba, what's happening? "He asked unable to hold back his curiosity. For Raba to be
The realisation of the fact that the one you loved with all your heart, has now given his heart away to someone else, isn't easy... Is it? Kiara stood in front of the wall in her old room. It had a wall so shiny that she could clearly see her entire reflection. Her hand was spread on the wall as she looked herself up and down. Her beautiful features were just the same. Young and vibrant, as if untouched by death. She looked down at her lower half and touched herself down from the lower abdomen. The skin was fit and fine. There was no distress left. No sign from the horrors that her body had to bear while she have birth to her child. Did Draco forget all about it as well? Had he really moved on? She looked at her face as her fingers touched her cheeks. She stretched the soft and supple skin as it bounced on her perfectly sculpted facial features. Then smiled sadly, " This is not the face he is in love with... "Her eyes shined as they moistened. " Will he even recognise me an
Kiara's eyes flickered open. She took a deep breath, feeling the cool air of the dragon realm fill her lungs for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. Her senses slowly started to awaken, and she became aware of the world around her, slowly but steadily. At first, she felt disorientated, not quite sure where she was or how long she had been gone. She blinked her eyes, trying to clear her vision, and took a few deep breaths, trying to steady herself. Slowly but surely, her memories started to return, and she remembered her fiery end and her eyes popped open with a jolt. At that realisation, she lets out a low, guttural growl, her anger building as she remembered the betrayal that led to her death. Her scales, once a vibrant shade of emerald green, started glinting with an intense red hue, a reflection of her simmering rage.As she slowly roses to her feet, her powerful muscles flexing, she stretched out her wings, feeling the weight of what seemed like, centuries of sleep
It was the middle of the night. The Dragon Palace was shrouded in an eerie silence as the crystal waters of the lake surrounding it glimmered in the moonlight. The air was thick .As if it was tensed with a sense of anticipation, as if something magical was about to happen.Suddenly, the water on the lake began to ripple and swirl, as if something was stirring beneath the surface.The dragons stirred in their slumber,their senses picking up the change in the air consistency of the Dragon Realm. "What's going on?" asked a young dragon, his scales bristling with excitement."I don't know," replied an elder dragon, her eyes fixed on the lake. "But I sense that something magical is happening."One by one every dragon in the kingdom began pouring in. They gathered around the lake, each looking at the other's face with question in their eyes. Unable to make out what really was happening in front of them. As they watched, a single stem began to rise from the center of the lake, reaching u
