I did not expect her to return that fast. Honestly, speaking, I would have to admit that I had thought she too had deserted me after knowing about my powerlessness. Strength was the most admirable aspect in our dragon world. Without strength, one was nothing but a laughing stock. She winked at me! The audacity!How informal was she going to be with me. " Officer, we have his ID card right, here. Now can we process the bail! "Her words did not register clearly with me. The officer took something from her hand. Glanced at it and then back at her and the person who was accompanying her. She was fidgeting with her finger under the desk. It meant she was nervous. " And who is going to be the guarantor? "" I will! " The man accompanying Liana raised his hands. " And who might you be? "He made a twirl. A complete 360° . Even Liana looked cringed. " I am the famous Mystic Joe! Don't you know me? "The officer rolled his eyes. He went inside as Liana rushed over to me. " Your na
That w*ore of a mother of mine had not sent Damian to any orphanage. That damn liar. I had called up every possible place a child could be other than an orphanage like day cares and shelters. He was nowhere. I had driven miles at stretch, trying to reach the places which did not have any active communication. None of those were of any success. " Aaahhh! "I scattered all the contents of the table with one strong push. The glass paper weight tumbled down and shattered to pieces. I could not care less. I got up with determination. There was only one place left where my Damian could be. Under my very nose. At my mother's place. I stepped on the accelerator as I saw the watchmen close the gate right on my face. The audacity! Blocking me in my own father's estate. It was time they learnt who they were messing with. I stepped on the accelerator. Bang! The bonnet of my car smashed into several pieces. There was even a little fire. The smirk on my face fear on theirs got bigg
That man did not miss a single opportunity to touch my bare body. He was all over me. Decorating every inch with some needle. " These are Ivory Needles. Like poison takes poison out, this will help get rid of the primary impact the dagger has had on you, " he danced as he explained, " this liquid that I am dipping these ivory needles into is a rare piece of item. His smile was bad enough, now I was having to bare with his smirk. " This Mr. Dragon is Trilithium. A deadly weapon. But for a Dragon skin it acts as a detoxing element. I bet none of these items are available in the Dragon kingdom. That what makes this ordinary Ivory Blade so special. Do you think I could supply these to your kingdom? Would you like to act as my broker in your home market? We will split the profit share fifty fifty. Say what? "That little... He dared to slap my shoulder . Even without my power, I was still the Dragon King. My stare sent him reeling three steps back at once. " Alright. Alright. for
I opened my eyes with Liana staring down on me. I jumped up. I was wearing only a boxer and I was on a bed. I looked around. I remembered passing out at the hall. How and when did I get here. Several baseless illicit images crossed my head.Then I thought I saw a slight smirk on Liana's face. " No! No! Nothing like that happened! "I was defending myself but had no idea from what assault. " Oh! I know you did. There is nothing to be ashamed of here. It's our body. It reacts differently in different situations! "" I SAID NO. I know exactly how my body reacts and around whom! "I was standing now face to face, nose to nose with her. My body literally pressing against her. I noticed her noticing me down below. Then it registered how wrongly timed my words were. I immediately backed off and said, " I didn't mean it that way! "Was it blush or was she embarrassed? The red on her cheeks were unmistakable. " Ahem! Draco! I was actually referring to you collapsing on the floor la
Draco was missing from the battle field! I would not have personally believed that. Never. He could be a scumbag. A casanova. Ruthless or arrogant. But coward? Nah! Him and coward were words that were poles apart. They could never go hand in hand. But that human, Liana was missing too. What was this strange riddle? Draco was not the type to desert his soldiers at the front line and disappear with a mistress. Something was definitely fishy in the atmosphere. " Hail to my Lord Lucian! "A messenger barged in, disturbing my inner concerns. " What is it? "" We received urgent call for help from the Northern frontier. The walls are soon going to be breached if cannot hold back the Hounds! "The kingdom was as much mine as it was his. " Gather Draco's Elite Soldiers. Aish! I guess I will have to jump in again to sort his mess! "I changed into my Battle Attire as soon as the messenger left. Draco's Council Hall was empty. I walked upto his chair and stood beside it as usual. It
That day was engraved in my mind with a hot iron rod. I remembered it in my nightmares and even when I was awake. Every minute of my life. I was happily returning home with my kill. Mother had promised to get the game roasted for us before lunch. No sooner had I entered the village perimeter than the smell of death and horrifying wails greeted my excited self. I was still a child. I failed to understand what was all the sudden chaos. Our tiny, rugged but beautiful little village was nothing more than a huge pile of rubbles. Just a handful of dragons could still be spotted. Others were all scattered all over the place. Smashed. Cracked. Opened apart. The hunt fell from my hands when the reality of the situation slowly started to sink in. Even the walk to our home was stained with blood. " Mother..... Mother... MOTHER! "I ran with my full endeavor. " MOTHER..... "What mother! Our entire neighborhood was gone! I searched like a lunatic. Picking up the rubbles and throwing t
It was a children's hideout. Like literally. An ancient comic book cafe. Ancient, yeah! That's right. Who read comics these days? That too in a cafe. No wonder it was so unkept. The titles were almost falling from its roof. The place looked more like a hit than a house. The door was made perhaps keeping a child in mind because it was too short even for an average length adult. " Are you sure this is the place? "Draco asked, scrutinizing with his eyes. I nodded. It was. The place with the biggest collection of Dragon Lores. It had books which even collectors died to have. But the owner they said was obsessed with dragons so he never sold any of his items. He shared them with the world through his little cafe. " Let's go in and take a look! "We ducked out way in. I was sure Draco bumped his head but he made no face to make me realise that. " Good morning! "There was an old man sitting behind a table with a large register. "Ah! Hi! Good morning. We are here to go through some o
I went straight at the back. Climbing up the stepping stool till I reached the shelf that was the top most. This section was not at all consecutive. In fact I had skipped the entire third row.Luckily Draco was busy rearranging the block I had just finished. He had taken off his shirt. Who does that inside a reading space? A literally atmosphere? But I had no intension of correcting him at the moment. Correcting him would lead me to admit that I was staring hard at the sinews of his muscular movements, from behind his back. I held my own head and brought my gaze back on the shelf. The books there looked rather untouched. There was probably an inch deep layer of dust on top of the covers. I hesitated. Touching that would definitely lead me to a series of sneezing. And I was specially avoiding drawing any attention at the moment. I had no idea what was wrong with me, but ever since we got back from the Dragon Realm, my body and mind was reacting weird around Draco's presence. Was i
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
