I walked into the sitting room and found Lily on the couch, her figure slouched as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. She seemed lost in thought, so much so that she didn’t notice me enter.

It took a moment before she finally looked my way, and the exhaustion in her eyes hit me like a punch to the chest. Guilt twisted inside me, sharp and unrelenting, as I realized how much pain I might have caused her. I opened my mouth to apologize, to say something—anything—but the words refused to come out.

“I see you’re ready. Let’s go. I’m sure Jess and Alex are already waiting for us,” she said, her tone flat, her eyes distant. She didn’t wait for a response as she walked past me and headed outside. All I could do was quietly follow her, the weight of her coldness pressing down on me.

When we reached the car, I moved to open the front passenger door for her, hoping she’d sit beside me. But instead, she slipped into the backseat without hesitation, creating an invisible barrier

    “Lily, stop! Please!” Eric’s voice was desperate as another wave slammed into me, knocking me back for the tenth time. I was exhausted, but I didn’t care. That was until Eric stepped directly into my path, blocking me.“Move out of my way,” I said, my voice laced with warning.“No, this is insane!” he shot back, but his words only stoked the fire of my anger.“Why is it insane? Let me guess—you don’t think I can make it to Terranovae, do you?” I asked, staring him down. He avoided my gaze, and that hurt more than the waves ever could. He didn’t even have a shred of faith in me.“Lily, I’m just worried about you! I don’t know what that dragon told you, but the skills he taught you? They’re useless! He’s just setting you up to get yourself killed. Let’s go back to the shore. You’re soaked, you’re freezing—please!” He reached out to touch me, but I stepped back, anger flaring.I stared at him in disbelief. How could he say that to me? “I don’t need you to worry about me, Eric! Worry abou

    “Lily, Lily, wake up!” A voice whispered in my ear. My eyes fluttered open, and I was met with nothing but darkness. A sharp pain throbbed at the back of my head.I couldn't understand what was happening or where I was. Looking around, I couldn't pick up a single sound or light. But the strange thing was—I was still floating. Then it hit me. I was still beneath the sea. Panic shot through me as I immediately swam up to the surface, but that only made my fear intensify.Nothing made sense. When I reached the surface, the moon that once shone brightly on the sea’s horizon was gone, leaving me and the vast body of water swallowed in total darkness.But the moon wasn’t the only thing missing—the storm had vanished too, leaving the sea eerily silent. A chilling stillness settled over me, and worst of all, I was completely lost, with no way of finding my way back to shore.I turned left, then right, but all I could see was endless water stretching around me. A shiver ran down my spine as pa

    So, Eric was the reborn version of Azhadrex, and if his heart wasn’t found, he would turn into a beast and destroy all of Terranovae—the very place he was meant to protect. My blood ran cold.“We're here. Welcome to the dragon world. It's where we’ve learned to adapt, hoping to be saved,” Zyron said. My jaw dropped.There were so many of them—each with different eye colors and body structures—but they all looked so majestic, so breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t believe this was real.And I had to admit, Drakemere City was stunning, even beneath the sea. Zyron led the way toward the grand castle at the center of the city, and as we entered, we were greeted by more dragons. Their faces lit up, their gazes filled with joy and anticipation.“Why is everyone happy to see me?” I asked Zyron, feeling overwhelmed by the warm, expectant stares.“Because we've waited for your arrival for what feels like forever. You being here means hope—maybe even a second chance for us.”My chest tightened

    “I have no powers. The only reason I came here was to find my demon side—yet I haven’t even come close. I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was supposed to reach Terranova’s Gate, fight through the waves, and uncover the part of me that’s hidden.If I can’t find it… then maybe Azhadrex chose wrong. Maybe it wasn’t supposed to be me.”The words felt heavy as I spoke them aloud, my chest tightening under the weight of defeat.Tythorax’s gaze remained steady, unwavering. “Azhadrex never chooses wrong,” he said with certainty. “That’s why we have something for you.” His eyes lingered on mine for a moment before he turned, striding toward the massive gate ahead.I hesitated before following.When the gate creaked open, the first thing I saw was Zyron. He stood exactly where I had left him, unmoving, patient.He kept his promise. He waited for me.“Father. Lily,” he greeted, his voice calm and composed.I froze.Father?My eyes widened in shock as I turned to Tythorax. He was Zyron’s father?“I

    “This is insane. I’m so worried I can’t even feel my stomach,” I complained for what felt like the tenth time since Lily disappeared with the storm last night.The sun had already begun casting its golden hues over the horizon, slowly chasing away the darkness. The sea, now calm, had lost its storm—along with my Lily. And I couldn't shake the terrible thought of where it might have taken her. Alex and I had searched until exhaustion set in, but she was nowhere to be found. The worst possibilities clawed at my mind, each more terrifying than the last.“And yet, someone here is acting so relaxed, like we haven’t lost Lily for hours,” Alex muttered, his gaze never leaving Eric, who had been standing motionless by the water all night.“He’s worried. But he made a promise to Lily—to seek his dragon side—and that means listening to it, even now.” Frustration twisted in my chest, a burning need to scream at the sea to give her back. “But how long are we supposed to just wait here?”“Maybe we

    As we approached the shore, I saw Eric standing in the shallow part of the water, looking completely lost. I paused, my gaze fixed on him.“He’s been like that since last night. He hasn’t said a word or moved from that spot,” Jess said before she and Alex made their way out of the water. I hesitated for a moment before stepping toward him. When I finally stood in front of him, it was as if he didn’t even notice my presence.I reached out, gently touching his hand. The way he flinched and jumped back in shock surprised me. His questioning eyes met mine, and in that instant, I felt my demon side fade, my human side taking over, grounding me in the reality that I was back on the shore—no longer beneath the water. But what I wasn’t expecting was the realization that I was completely naked.“Lily,” Eric breathed, quickly closing the distance between us.A cold gust from the sea swept over my bare skin, sending a shiver down my spine. Before I could react, Eric pulled off his shirt and drap

    “You look worried,” Jess’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I stood on the balcony, lost in contemplation.“Yeah, I have a lot on my mind,” I replied, glancing at her before looking back at the setting sun.“You’re worried we won’t be able to pull this off, right?” Jess asked, stepping beside me.“More than that, Jess. You should have seen them—the dragons. They trusted me. They celebrated me like I was their savior.Just thinking about how many people could get hurt—or worse, all the dragon souls in Drakemere disappearing—it gives me chills. I don’t want to let anyone down.” A deep sigh left my lips as I felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on my shoulders.“It’s okay to feel that way, Lily, but you have to trust yourself. We all trust you—the dragons, Terranovae, and most importantly, us. Eric believes in you. I believe in you. So does Alex. You have to believe in yourself, too, and know that we have your back.” Jess’s words soothed me slightly, but the weight on my shou

    “I can't believe they left us behind,” I muttered, watching as Eric and Alex disappeared from sight.Lily let out a small chuckle. “Let’s just see if we can keep up.”There was something unreadable about her these days. I could tell she was struggling to believe Eric’s sudden change, just like I was.“He seems so different now, right?” I asked as we took off after them.“Eric?” she asked, glancing at me. I nodded.“Well, he’s still the same, but… livelier. The Eric we knew barely used to smile. Now, when I look at him, I don’t just see him—I see them both.” A faint smile tugged at her lips, but her eyes remained distant.“I’m glad he finally accepted him,” I said, feeling a sense of relief at the thought.“Me too,” she admitted, though there was something heavy in her tone, like her thoughts were elsewhere.I stole a glance at her. “You’re worried about her, aren’t you?”“About who?” she asked, but I could see right through her.“You don’t have to hide it, Lily.

    As we made our way back to Aquoris, the last standing water demon city, I couldn't shake the unease creeping into my chest. This was where most of the leaders had chosen to remain, guarding the shattered remnants of their fallen cities. Yet, something felt off.The dragon heart in my hands continued to glow, its soft pulsation steady and unwavering. Why? That question lingered in my mind, gnawing at the edges of my thoughts.But as we drew closer to the palace, the unease deepened. Something was wrong.The moment we rode through the palace gates, I saw them—King Calyx, along with Jess’s and Alex's father, standing outside. Their expressions were unreadable, a mix of emotions swirling beneath their stoic facades.As our horses came to a stop, we dismounted and approached them cautiously.“I see you all succeeded,” King Calyx spoke first, his gaze settling on me for a long moment. “I knew you would, and I'm glad you did. But we have a guest. A guest we couldn’t let in because of the bar

    Eric's POVIt didn’t take long before I finally found the Witch Queen’s chamber, but getting here required snapping the necks of more witches than I cared to count. With one swift move, I sent the chamber doors flying open, crashing loudly into the room. As expected, the Witch Queen was already aware of my presence—she stood at the far end, shielded by a legion of her minions, all ready to fight for her.“Wow, it's almost tragic how willing they are to die for you,” I remarked, my voice dripping with mockery as my gaze locked onto her piercing silver eyes. Fury burned within them, her rage barely restrained. I could tell they hadn’t expected to be attacked—at least, not like this.“So, you truly are alive,” she said, her voice smooth yet laced with an unmistakable edge. She rose gracefully from her seat and approached me with measured steps.“Yes, very much alive,” I replied, stepping forward to meet her. “I even heard you planned a little surprise party for me. So, here I am. And gue

    Lily's POVHere I was, staring at the ancient castle submerged beneath the water—a place where the Water God was said to have kept the Heart. I made my way toward the gate and was taken by surprise when it pulled open on its own, as if it knew I would be here.I took a deep breath and clutched the stone I still held as I entered the castle. The eerie quietness that surrounded the structure sent shivers down my spine, yet I had seen much worse than an abandoned, ancient castle. As I swam further inside, I couldn’t help but notice the cracks along the walls. It wasn’t long before I found it: at the center of the chamber stood an obsidian altar, pulsating with molten veins as if the very core of the earth breathed through it. There, the Heart glowed—a ball of fire encased in a cocoon of golden flames and surrounded by four dragon statues reminiscent of those I’d seen in Drakemere, the spirit realm. In Drakemere, Azhadrex’s statue accompanied them; here, though he was absent, the circular

    Eric’s POVThey dragged me behind their horses, the rough terrain scraping against my already battered body. My arms hung uselessly at my sides, the chains digging into my wrists, but I kept my expression impassive.The walls of their stronghold loomed ahead—tall, ancient, covered in unbreakable magic. This had better be worth it. Every bruise, every drop of blood spilled along the way.I had seen the witches on my way here, scouting the perimeter, watching like vultures. There was no way to break into their fortress undetected, so I did the next best thing—I made myself their prey.I told them I was a demon fleeing the chaos that had befallen Terranovae, that I had valuable information their queen would want to hear. They didn’t believe me at first. They tested me, casting every spell they could summon, trying to break me. When their magic failed to work against me, they decided to beat me until I was too weak to fight back.It almost worked. Almost.The only problem? The pain only s

    Lily's POVIt felt like I had been swimming east for ages, every little sound sending a jolt of fear through me. The water was eerily silent, but no monstrous creatures had surfaced—yet. That didn’t mean they weren’t there, lurking beneath, waiting.I didn’t have much time. I needed to reach the Heart and return to Terranovae before it was too late.Drakemere was growing colder with every passing moment, the icy grip of the deep tightening around me. My mind had wandered, lost in anxious thoughts, when something suddenly caught my eye—a glimmering fragment of light against the dark water.A small, diamond-like stone was embedded in the jagged surface of a massive rock, its crystalline glow hypnotic, almost calling to me.Curiosity pulled me forward. I reached out, my fingers brushing against the smooth, shimmering surface, but as I shifted my gaze beyond the rock, I froze.A veil of liquid silver wavered before me, stretching across the depths like a living curtain of light.I gasped.

    "Eric, this is insane! There is no way I’m letting you go to the Witch City just to seek their queen. It’s already obvious they’re planning to attack us like they did before, and you’re at your weakest moment. No, I think you should do as Tythorax said," Jess argued, her voice firm with defiance.I wasn’t surprised to find her waiting when I resurfaced from Drakemere. The moment she saw me, suspicion clouded her eyes, and she demanded to know why I had gone there. As we made our way back to the palace, I had no choice but to tell her everything.“I am not at my weakest point, Jess," I muttered, exhaling heavily. "I’m about to lose myself. That’s not weakness—it means I’m losing control over my powers. If I stay here, I become a danger to every demon in Terranovae.”Her expression hardened. “Then what about the Black Stone? What are you going to do about it?”“I don’t know,” I admitted, my gaze flickering toward the vine-covered barrier. The creeping plants had nearly sealed off the en

    Before I could realize what was happening or remind myself that this wasn't real, I missed a step and slipped down the stairs. My body collided with the wooden steps, and pain shot through me like a bolt of lightning.When I finally hit the floor at the bottom of the staircase, leading into the sitting room, I couldn't move. The pain was paralyzing, making me question whether this was real or just another nightmare. I forced my eyes open, and that was when I saw it—a glimpse of a shadow standing in the darkest corner of the room, where the dim glow of light barely cast its reach.Panic surged through me as I pushed myself off the floor, backing away from the figure. My body screamed in agony, but I ignored it. A wave of cold air wrapped around me, sending chills down my spine, every hair on my body standing on end. From the size of the figure, I could tell it wasn't an adult—but a child. A girl."Who are you?" My voice came out small, unsteady, weak—barely a whisper."Me?" she echoed,

    “What do you mean? Are you saying the Water Demon Princess is alive?” I asked, waiting impatiently for his reply.“Great, so now who am I even talking to? Because I don’t understand a thing,” Tythorax complained, but I was more focused on whether Eric’s biological mother was truly alive.“Yes, she is still alive. I thought you, of all people, would know that,” Tythorax finally answered.“I never expected her to be.” I shook my head, disbelief tightening my chest. “You and I both know how devastated she was after being forced to leave her baby at the doorstep of some random humans. I don’t even know if I should say Eric and I were lucky to end up with Mr. and Mrs. Sarton.”Memories of that fateful night came rushing back, burning through me like wildfire. I could still see the agony on the princess’s face as she made her way to Drakemere, pleading for her baby’s life. Even when she was warned of the consequences, she still agreed to them.No mother willingly gives birth only to abandon

    We swam as fast as we could, the icy water pressing against us like an unrelenting force. Time felt endless, every stroke stretching into eternity, but finally, after what seemed like forever, we arrived.The first thing I noticed was the storm—a raging, untamed force swirling right in front of us. The water churned violently, reacting to our presence with a low, menacing rumble. I wasn’t surprised that the sea itself seemed to resist us, but what unsettled me was why the sea god had chosen to place a storm here, turning it into the first trial to reach the heart.The sheer power of it sent a shiver down my spine, a stark reminder of the impossible task ahead."This is it," Jess murmured beside me. "The Forbidden Abyss."I exhaled, staring at the churning waters. "It looks far more terrifying now that I’m actually here. When Tythorax spoke of it, it seemed like a legend—now it feels like a death sentence." My voice wavered slightly, but I steadied myself. "I guess this is my first tri
