I dedicate this chapter to Fea Acain. Thank you for reading, girl! And to some of you who have reached this part, thank you also! Your support means the whole wide universe to me. Lovelots! P.s: I'll try my best to update on a regular basis starting today.
"Do you mean a sacrifice is needed to bring back the power within the heart of magic?" she clarifies. "B-but who should-"The fairy cuts her words once again. "Blood of the same blood. Desire of the same desire. Without it, I shall but forever lived without a keeper, without a home. Your blood shall wash away the curse and if you keep yourself alive, you shall succeed in having me. But first, you should prove yourself worthy of holding the great power within your hands. I want not to be used to bring destruction into the world and if you can break the hex before anyone else does, you shall have full control over me."Unaware of what her mother did to lock her dragon form through the power of the Heart of Magic, she questions, "What hex should I break free from... and h–ow do I do that?""Escape in this abyss and desire in your heart to find the Fountain of knowledge. There you shall meet the bearer of all things true. In your endeavor, remember to always carry with you your desire t
"Unless, I trade another life for my desire."Amira sympathizes with the woman, she understands where her motivation is rooting from. The mistress's condition is far too unreachable especially for the woman who's left without a companion, without an assurance of ever getting back her baby alive. A few more talks and she is able to win her trust. She swears that she'll do everything she can to reclaim the baby. The poor woman then tells her the way to meet the mistress is by summoning her by the name... Bethaida.The atmosphere changes the moment Amira calls out the mistress' name. The next thing that attracts her eyes is a mega limbless creature crawling to her direction. Her jaw gapes open as she looks up at the serpent that halts and flexes its huge, crimson body right in front of her. It's way different from all the creatures she has ever seen in her realm. Judging by its size, it's comparably fit to combat the strength and weight of an average dragon in their realm."Pungent sme
"Kian," the word flees her mouth right before her fingertip connects with Bethaida's."You promised to help me get my baby back!" the poor woman flashes a side of her, trying to overpower the mistress's control over her body. Her voice pulls Amira out of her automatic subconscious mind and back into reality, into her conscious awareness. Then, the seraph's words echo in her head. "Remember to always carry with you your desire to succeed in your purpose. It's the only way to keep the peace in the world and for the dark past not to ripple its effect in the present times. May your mother's mission be engraved in your heart and in your memory as long as you live."Eyes shut. Heart beating erratically. Second thought is swirling through her system. No matter how strong her desire to be with her lover again, she can't take it in her conscience to end her conquest now let alone leave Kian and the woman whom she makes a promise with behind. Something greater lies on her shoulder, she can't
Wasting no time, she ladders up to the serpent's head, choking it by its thick neck. As the serpent wiggles and glides through and through, her grasp tightens, weighing its neck upward and charging her full thew so it follows the direction she's leading it to. Rising up in the air and releasing her hold, Amira delivers a kick onto the serpent's neck. Her leg could have been cut half by now if only her defenses is weak. She steers clear of the small scratch she gets on her leg. It's nothing fatal she believes. As she lands her foot on the surface of the abyss, the serpent sways toward her, mouth open and growling like a mad dog. Amira, though, is quick to dive in the air and throw herself up by hitting the serpent once more. Fallen and bruised, the reptile disappears and transport back to its original body. As her eyes searches for where her companion is, she spots him in the most unfortunate situation, squirming while struggling to breathe. The serpent is coiling its thick, limbl
The first morning light hits the lump of mist clouding the steady evergreen trees. A large white-headed eagle flies freely over and opposite the direction of the flowing stream of fresh water before resting on the surface of a shaft that sinks into the ground. It crows, disturbing the stillness of water beneath the well. The crystal clear water gurgles and whoosh scaring the eagle away.At a distance lies two creatures half awake. The soft brushes of the wind and silliness of tiny brown four-legged creatures running through and over their body awaken Amira. The heaviness on her head crunch her as she sits on her butt, her head tilts to her side and her eyes shut close as they adjust on the light that welcomes them.When she opens her eyes again, she finds Kian lying beside him. She rattles in checking if he's alive. He still has pulse but slow and his fever is rising up. Then two cute tiny creatures with a squirrel-like appearance appear before her, each carrying a leaf on its three-f
Now that the truth of why she can't shift to her dragon form has been made known to her, she desires to find out the way on how she can break free from it. It's the only way she can live a life similar to that of her kind without worry of being ridiculed. It's also the only way to bring the other half of the Heart of Magic out so finally it can be one with its missing half."I have given you the answer to your heart's desire. Now is the time for your second wish," Elena says as she returns to her humanoid form."My mother swears that unless I possess the purest of the hearts, I am not to transform into the dragon I am to become. Have I not been pure all along, why am I unable to shift? And the Heart of Magic that she transfers within me, how do I get a hold of it?""I am not the one to confirm. The gods are to decide and you are subject to their judgment. It took life to impose the hex and it may take your life to break free from it. Are you prepared for it?The cold wind blows pass A
Amira stabilizes her balance as she is pushed into another world. A world that knows no hues. Where frozen nebulas hang just meters above the head and lonely clouds bow to kiss the ground. The longer she keeps an eye at her surrounding the clearer things appear. Lighter particles forming images of static men –some of them familiar to her – and various creatures loom out of ashen space. And there at a distance sits a beauty so ethereal yet lonely. Wearing glitters in her eyes when she spots what she is there for, she slid out of her stance, feeling the warmth of defusing clouds on her feet as she closes their distance. "I found you!""Well done, Amira!""Come with me now and I will take you out of here," she says and clasps the Seraph's wrist but as she does so a stream of strong electric charge flows through her veins making her slink her hold. Her eyes bulge, asking for answer.The Seraph glances from where Amira's hand touches her. The bracelet scorging heat on her wrist. "You see,
"What have you done?" Amira snoops at her sister, who upon recognizing her, returns the same inquisition toward her. "Amira! You're alive?" Alianah speaks of half-surprised. Though her sister's death is rumored within their kingdom, part of her believes it not to be true. After all, she is the mastermind behind such lies. Eyes squinting, Amira sneers. "You wished!" "Have you not missed your sister?" Alinah throws herself for a hug but halts inches away when her sister points the plank close to her neck."Stop playing nice, Alianah! We both know your character stinks!"Pressing her lips with a slight frown she says, "Well, well, well! You're the same old stubborn useless sister I know. I am glad that you're still alive for it will be my pleasure to be the one to take the life out of you!" Hungrily, she strikes her sister's wrist making the plank slip from her hold, then she slides to the side to deliver an elbow strike but Amira quickly neutralizes it with her palm. "Only in your d
