The thin membrane cloaking the unseen from reality was removed. Seeing the dragons fly in their true forms, majestic and beastly was no ordinary feat in itself. Not many survived. It was a feat quite close to legendary. Liana was holding on to Lucian's neck with her body and arms. She was typically lying down on him and bear hugging him with all her body parts. She did remember his warning. She dared not harm those heavenly, glittering scales. " Damn! Why does this feel so good!... "Liana thought she heard a murmur though nobody spoke. " Umm, Lucian, did you say something just now? "She tried to look at his eyes, bending a little down. As soon as they made eye contact, Lucian dived several feets towards the ground. The motion made Liana forget everything else and cling tightly onto the slippery dragon with renewed grip . " Did she just hear my thoughts?Impossible."In that commotion, Liana thought she heard something again. But this time, she chose to ignore. In no time they
His claws flashed his Dragon heredity without mistake. His breath fell on my face as he held his nails at my neck. They were so sharp that a slight moment om my part, pierced my skin. A tiny droplet of blood emerged. I could feel it roll down my neck in a tiny stream. " Indentify yourself and let her go! "It was Raba. But she froze in her tracks as soon as the man turned his head. It seemed like she knew who he was and perhaps even feared him. "You! You are still alive? Did you not die with your mother , buried under these rubbles? "She looked puzzled, curious and stunned, all at once. It was like she knew the person who was about to get me murdered. Just then the rest of the group dropped in front of us, one by one. Except Draco. Each stood with their arms in their hands. But none stroke him. Were they worried about my condition? Nah! I was getting to high. I was just a human. Nobody would batter an eye if I died, they probably had some goof ups piled up from before. " R
" It has been illegal to make or keep Dragon Ashes for a reason. "It was Master who claimed as Draco and Lucian sat on the other side of the table. They were all sitting in the infirmary, watching Liana turn pale and blonde. " Do you really not remember him at all? Or are you deliberately trying to act tough? "Lucian jeered at Draco but he did not react. " Was this the one born to aunt after she was exiled? "Draco asked Master. He nodded. " It all began with your Aunt going to the human world for a mission. She was fierce. She was strong. She lead her brothers' men to many victories. But she was young. But youth is a pollen that blows through the sky and does not ask why. She fell in love with a human boy there. This made her inpatient. Lovers fear seperation the most. She was no exception. She found one excuse or the other to be with her human lover. All was well of only the she had maintained her distance. Emotional love is something out of our control but we can always con
I placed her on her bed. Her house had been locked for what seemed like months in the human time. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. A series of stale milk packets waited for he return at her door step. They were accompanied by the everyday newspapers. I made the bed clean my changing the top sheet. She stirred a little in my arms. Or was I imagining? I placed her down as the moon light fell directly on her face. Her skin shined just like a dragon's scale. Her hair was untied. It looked like flowing water, flaming her face. I touched her forehead to move the stray tresses. Gosh! I had to back off. Seeing her like that made, my heart skip, touching her skin almost gave me a heart attack. It was not happening all over again. I was not falling for a human girl whom Draco had taken in as his mate. I pulled my own hair back as I placed my hand on my head. I wanted to head back. To the Dragon Realm. I was not bound to take care of her, I had volunteered. I could have easily se
She morphed into the most beautiful woman that my eyes had ever seen. She gathered the twigs scattered here and then, then made a tiny pyramid out of that. " Do you want to join me? "she asked with a voice so soft and tender, that there was no way for a refusal. I went ahead and sat in front as she blew fire on that pyramid , creating a bonfire. " So Liana, do you feel them yet? You should be preparing yourself. The effect of the Dragon Ash has began. They will be swarming to this place or anywhere for that matter, wherever you are. " she said. " Who are the they? Why should I be worried? "her beauty was mesmerizing. I asked the question quite uninterested more engrossed into admiring her serenity. " The Dragon Ashes have been blown over you. You do know Dragons are mighty creatures. We have enormous powerhouses in our bodies and also embedded into our souls. Most Dragons are born with similar amount of this power. With similar potential, without any discrimination. The level o
They were looking up the Ivory Blade. So Draco was indeed injured and Liana helped in his recovery. How touching. A lovey dovey couple. That Mr. Joe's narrative was clumsy and boring but I got the gist. It made me instantly regret what I just did. I was a mere third wheel in this royal romance. I was like a sand spec in the eye. I was an unwanted nobody. I took one last look at the sleeping woman. She would survive a few days without anything. I had fed her the pill. I had more important things to take care of in the Dragon realm. I needed to retrieve the Ivory Blade from Draco. He could not be allowed to posses everything. Anything that he wanted to. I landed straight in the middle of the backyard and then went to look for our beloved king. As expected, he was not at his office, he had gone for patrolling. This was the perfect opportunity. I began going through all his drawers and shelves. Though I was sure that he would not keep something as expensive as the Ivory Blade un
" LIANA! LIANA! LIANA!!!"My voice echoed around the empty house. There was no sign of her. But she was there, no doubt, perhaps a few minutes prior. I ran to check the doors. They were open. Wide and ajar. I saw car tracks and footsteps on the ground of more than one people. Somebody had taken Liana away from her bed chamber while she was in no position to defend. Liana had been kidnapped under the most unfavourable conditions. And it was all because of Lucian. I was about to tear the whole house down in helplessness when suddenly I heard a familiar voice, " Oh my good luck, the Dragon Lord! "It was that Mystic Joe. He fell right at my feet in prostration. I could have kicked his teeth out. I was that mad but lucky that I didn't. If I had done so, he would not have been say the next sentence, " I just rushed back from the hospital. In my hurry, I had forgotten to lock Miss. Liana's gate. "He apologized with wide eye. " Liana? You know where she is? "" Of course I do. I rushe
" What? What are you even taking about? I know you? How do I even know you? "I yelled as the Whirlpool that she just created kept pulling me further and further down. ***Flashback to a few minutes before***I saw her accumulate the blue from all around. It was like she was the Pied Piper of the colour. It broke off from every surface, building up like an armour around her body. It forged into a sword at the end and with one swift blow she got rid of a bunch of those hungry dragon souls. She kept cutting through them as she kept moving in beside myself. " Hold onto my waist. We are going to jump out of this place! "I did obediently exactly like I was instructed. On the count of three, we leapt over their heads as she kept moving her blade, chopping off their hands. She moved like the water strider on air, as we crossed over the plain but the army of the undead souls remained steadfast on our tail. Our trail must have stretched not more than a few miles when suddenly we slipped
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
