Liana opened her eyes with the loud ringing of her phone. " Hello! Yes! Yes Mystic Joe... right now? At your place? "She looked out of the window. It was still dark outside. Draco was sitting like a statue at the side of her feet. "Oh My Gosh Draco! You scared me! "Liana almost yelled, " Oh No, Mr. Joe! Not you! I was talking to Draco! Yeah! He is right here! You want to talk? ... Okay. Okay. I understand... Really? He is here? Okay, Okay we will be right there! "Liana did not notice how cozily tucked she was in the bed. It seemed she had completely forgotten about what had happened. " Draco! Good news! That guy Joe got that Master or whatever of his who actually talks with Dragons. He sometimes gets possessed by one or something like that! Anyways, they are at Joe's place and we need to get there. Come on. Hurry up! "Liana grabbed Draco's hands which were folded in front of his chest. He was lost in his own thoughts and gave Liana a strange look at soon as she touched his ski
" Are you sure it was the Dragon Lord? "" Very! I saw him with my own Dragon eyes. I can even swear it on my Dragon Core! "He was the most worthless specimen of our Dragon race. I would have preferred maintaining my distance from someone like him but one needed somebody to clean the dirty laundry. This scoundrel that I befriended years ago in the outskirts was claiming to have access to our missing king. Would it be delusional to believe him. But statistically speaking, his news were not known to be unreliable. Was it really a second chance from the heavens to correct our messed up mission? " Stay put till I come back! "I closed the door behind me and went straight inside my study. This could very well be a trap. I needed to take my precautions. I could not go out of the palace or send for any help. Whatever decision I was to make was going to have to be by myself. And it had to be in the most unsuspicious manner possible. I began flipping through the pages of my personal j
This was illegal. I had just broken into the library with Draco. Mystic Joe's Master told me about a book where he had seen the text. The same words that the Dragon silhouette in my trace had mentioned. It was not a illusion after all. " Did you find it? "Draco whispered. " No, I need to go higher."I whispered back. I was on a stool already but the row was beyond my reach. I searched with the torch light from my cell phone. Psst! Draco clicked his lips and tongues dejected, then suddenly lifted me by my hip and placed me on his neck. It hurt a little. My V area was still sore. But the task at hand was more important. " Got it! "It was an old tattered book. Looked very much like the one that I had opened.It was just like the other book. Blank. Just white pages. I flipped it cover to cover then shoved it in Draco's face. " That fools must have tricked us. There is nothing in here. "Suddenly I saw a shadow over those pages as I was just about to bang it shut. My eyes rolled
That rush was real. I felt it well. That influx of high volt electric pulses in all my veins. They pumped up changing the very composition of my body. It felt great to be back to my own element. If I would have ever prayed, it would have been at that moment. To save my son. And also the person sitting beside. The first step, was to stop time. I did that the moment I opened my eyes. I bent over to pick her up. I thought she was frozen like everything around as well. But she squirmed. " Ouch, Draco! I get up by myself. You are pressing the glass shards further inside my body! "I was literally too stunned to speak. A human was defying my control, my ability. " Let's go. Hurry! "She looked like a porcupine with glass pieces sticking out from everywhere. But she grabbed my hand. The world frozen around her did matter to her as well. " Draco, Damian... "Right. I held her and we went straight to her mother's place. It was pitch black. Even my eyes fought and strained. This w
What was his was not mine. I had to repeatedly remind myself. But the pull was too much to handle. It was yet another day at the Royal Court. I sat beside his empty throne as I took care of state affairs.It was not difficult calming the raging wars along the perimeters of our kingdom. Military affairs were straight forward unlike state affairs. You kill or get killed. Simple. But with politics, you never know who is ready to stab you bearing a friendly face. Today's session was no different. It wasn't like they were too devoted to Draco in the first place. In fact they had been the ones who had come to secretly aid me ascend, time and again. Only to get brutally put aside because I hated cowards. I didn't want to ever have to do with any such bastard. But times were different in the Dragon realm at the moment. They could see that there was a void. They saw that it was open to anybody to fill that gap. Perhaps that gave them the audacity to threaten me. I clutched my fist, get
My mother was still breathing. It was in fact the first time that I had really been worried about her wellbeing. " Mother! Are you alright? "I knew she wasn't. She had scalding marks all over her and so did the other guys. My mother's boys. Her personal army. They were the highest paid bodyguards. But they were all lying on the ground. None moved a limb. " Yes, that's the place! " I was about to hang up from my call to the police and ambulance, when my mother clasped at my feet. She could hardly open her eyes. " Liana... "Her voice faint and weak. Barely audible. So I went closer to her face. " I am right here. Don't worry. Will get you to the hospital, the ambu... "" Liana... Damian. She took him! "There was worry in her eyes. Not for herself or her boys but my Damian. Draco was standing a few feets away. The moment his ear caught Damian's name, he darted at us like Flash. My mother seemed unbothered. She lifted her arm to hold Draco's hand. And to my surprise he even
*** I pulled the human up and dived straight for her lips. I knew exactly what I was doing. ***There was clearly something going between Draco and the human. And I don't mean it only romantically. They were upto something. That son of Draco's came back with some disease. That was what the hot gossip was around the palace. I wanted to go check it myself but there were special guards appointed around the harem. Quite a new concept I should admit. He didn't even bother to do that for Kiara when she was pregnant. Psst! I must be out of my mind. Why do I keep digging her out of the grave all the time. She chose to bury herself in it. Nobody could blame anybody else. She had the choice of taking the herbs and aborting the baby. But she chose to give up her core for him. There was another thing that was surprising. Draco ran to meet the Master the moment he returned from anywhere. I heard that this time it was the other way round. The Master had been trying to meet Draco and he ha
There was no doubt that the ones involved with Kiara's murder had human help. We all knew Marcus frequented the human world. Was it possible that he had smuggled in a human without anyone's knowledge? I was lost deep in my thoughts when suddenly a hand dropped on my right shoulder. " Lost in your thoughts again it seems Draco! I waited long enough for you to come and see me. But since you were apparently very busy, I thought to come check on you. You seem to have had quite an adventure in the human world! Care to share a little with this old man? "It was Master. He sat himself in the chair opposite to mine. It was by my order that he was allowed anywhere in the palace, unchecked. I had my armours up against him all these while, unwilling to let my emotions cloud my rational judgment. Was there anyway for my nose to not know what my mouth was after? Marcus and Master were closer than my facial features. " It is indeed great that you finally decided to drop by! I think you are a
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
