" 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
Liana's POV" Why are we back here? "I knew my voice was shaky. The memories of this place was still fresh inside my head. It definitely was not a fond one. Draco and I were standing at the edge. Ready to take the plunge inside the dark whole. " Listen Liana! "He turned my head to face him. " There are things in this world that might seem absurd to you but they are as true as the sky is blue. Though it might camouflage into different shades. "His talking like that and me making a sorry face was now the norm. It was nothing absurd." I knew that your are a Selected one the day the Spirit Charmers started ringing on your entrance! "There goes. What's with this Selected One? What did I get selected for? " Liana, not all humans have bodies that can adapt with a growing Dragon foetus. One in a trillion is blessed with that. "I was still processing but he continued. "For centuries humans have worshipped Dragons . The only reason we ventured into the human world was to look for the
