AURORA’S POV
I woke up to a strange buzzing sound. It took me a while to realize that it was the incessant chatter. They were discussing something.
I felt so warm and cozy that I didn’t feel like opening my eyes. The panic and uneasiness I had felt over the past week dissipated. I drifted in and out of sleep catching only parts of the conversation going on.
Warm and heavy breathing on my face startled me and I snapped open my eyes. I gasped as I met the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen; grey with golden streaks.
He lowered his head and bit my lower lip. The sharp sting brought me back to my senses. I pushed him away and raised myself only to realize that I was sitting on his lap.
I felt a surge of blood flush my face and my ears burned. Flustered I tried to get up but he pulled me back, making me sit on his lap.
I should have felt panic about finding myself alone with a stranger in a large desolate roo
AURORA’S POV Three months later…My lips spread into a wide grin as I watched Tyson play with the keys nervously. “What the hell is taking so long?”Bumping my shoulder against Tyson’s, I said in a teasing voice, “Is the great Dragon King afraid of being spotted at the clinic of Gynecologist?”His face turned red and he almost shouted, “How can you joke about this, Aurora? I am worried about our baby.”“Excuse me, mister! Is this your first time at a hospital? Please keep your voice low!”I burst out giggling as I saw the nurse chastise Tyson and storm away. I gasped his hand before he could pursue the nurse.“Do you not want to see our baby?”“F***! Aurora. If I wasn’t so tempted to see our baby on the screen, I would have never come to this wretched place.”Exhaling deeply, I said in a rueful voice,
AURORA’S POV I watched in horror as blood gushed out of the wound. It took me a few moments to realize what he had done.“Why the hell did you do that?” I shouted, making him lay in my lap.I was about to use my magic to assess him when he held my hands and shook his head.He gasped for breath and muttered, “I… I have to die…”“NO! I am so sorry I blamed you earlier… I… I was just angry with myself…I…”He struggled to get up as he said, “You don’t understand… My soul is linked to The Dark Lord… Till I am alive, he can come back for you… for Tiara…”I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I grasped his hand and said in a panicked voice “You don’t have to die… I will find a way to unlink you…”He groaned in pain and managed to mutter, “It i
TYSON’S POVI was stunned when I didn’t find the stone in the locker. “I… had kept it here…” I stuttered.“I know you are not lying but where do you think it is?” Adam whispered a few inches from my ears sending shivers down my spine. It was too comfortable and dangerous to stay here alone with him.I gasped his hand and teleported back to the previous location before he could realize it.“If you want to save your daughter, tell me where the Heart of Magic is?” He gritted out grasping my neck.My eyes widened in surprise when I saw Aurora behind him. Without any warning, she thrust a dagger inside him. “Ahhhh!!!” His bloodcurdling scream sounded as he dropped to the ground.“Are you okay? Where is Tiara?” I asked jumping over Adam’s body to reach Aurora.Adam’s evil laughter sounded as he jumped to his feet. He pull
AURORA’S POV I closed my eyes and focused on the place I had seen in my memories and tried to teleport there. A few minutes later I had fallen on the ground, drenched in sweat and panting with exertion.My magical powers weren’t enough to penetrate the dark shield. There was only one way now…Teleporting to the sanctuary, I took out ‘The Heart of Magic’. I shivered at the currents of power coursed through me by just holding it.I was about to use it when my mind veered to the Old Lady’s words. ‘Every time you use this stone, you will lose a part of your soul. It will suck you of all happiness, love, kindness and all that will be left in a dark, cold corpse devoid of any feelings.’My hands trembled and my heart raced faster than horses. Aslan, Tyson, and Zarina had already taken their positions as per the plan.If I didn’t save Tiara on time, I would risk all of their l
AURORA’S POV We sat on the four sides of the map and joined our hands together.“When we give you the signal you all have to cut your palm and let the blood drip on the map. No one speaks in between. Is that clear?”We all nodded our heads and held hands forming a circle. Zarina and I closed our eyes and started chanting the spell.A first everything was dark but as the spell advanced, I could see glimpses of visions between the darkness but it was all hidden behind some haze…Sensing the tug at my hands, I opened my eyes and slit open my palm. The others did the same. All the blood trickled to the center and then nothing…“Damn! I had so much faith that this spell will work!” Zarina said tearing her hair.“It did work… Not the way locator spell works but I saw visions. Tiara is on Earth. We can’t sense her because she is shielded by some dark magic.&rdqu
TYSON’S POV “I went to the Roxiant today.”“What the F***! Why did you go there personally? You should have sent me or Zarina. Don’t You know how dangerous that place is? It is the meeting point of the most powerful seers in the world. What if someone decides to put a hex or a spell on you?”“You both were busy. Someone tipped me off about it and the lead was too good to wait.”“Tell me at least you found something useful, brother.”“I must say that the risk was worth it. I have a blueprint of The Dark Lord’s plan now. His plan is divided into phases. Phase one involves kidnapping Tiara.”“Damn! Is that why you sent Aurora to the sanctuary hastily?”“Hmm… I plan to keep them safe from this mess.”“If we don’t let him complete phase one, we could win easily,” Aslan said in a hopeful voi
