The Last Dragon's Mage ~Clyde Basilisk Visits Ravenwood~
[Valerie] “Hay, Val? How have you been? Weren’t you starting your new semesters at Crescentville?” an incredibly nosy classmate of mine cornered me. She had been trying to do so since I began my classes. She was my competitor and had been extremely happy when I told everyone that I won’t be continuing my studies at Ravenwood. Everyone else thought I would be going there to study there except Sarah and Kenneth. I replied with a curt smile. “Well, I am here now.” Before she could retort, I side-stepped her and left the class. “What’s Clara’s deal?” Sarah asked when I told them about the incident while taking lunch in the cafeteria. I shrugged as I spooned more yoghurt in my mouth. Mom had told me numerous times to have lunch with them but I never did, partly because I wanted to spend time with Kenneth like a love-sick fool and partly because I didn’t want people to call me names behind my back, although they still did but I stubbornly decided to ignore them. “She is just sad that
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Like a Slave~
[Valerie] I expected to feel indifferent and maybe feel like I had felt before discovering he was my mate, but no, my life was never easy. Therefore, when our gazes clashed, all I felt was longing and hurt. He stared back impassively as if silently reproaching me for creating a scene during the Challenge. I looked back defiantly. But I still felt what I had felt that night near the cliff before rejecting him… the yearning… the pain. I didn’t know why but Goddess Diana had a way of reminding us mortals that we had the opportunity to feel the love that she had felt once for a shepherd boy, that we were given the opportunity to at least fulfil our love and be with our other half as long as we breathed. However, we let go of the opportunities, sometimes due to situations and sometimes… “What are you doing outside?” Dad’s voice made me tear my gaze away from Clyde. I shifted my attention toward him. “I was getting bored.” I hoped no one noticed our stare-off. But then I glanced at Viola,
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Similar or Different~
[Valerie] ‘Ruelle, no,’ I tried to pacify her, my own wolf, my animal counterpart. But she didn’t pay heed. I knew where she was trotting towards, turning a deaf ear to calls and warnings. I felt stuck, felt scared of my wolf. ‘How dare they?’ she growled. ‘They are my friends!’ I tried to reason. I felt so helpless because I knew the sadistic pleasure she took in hurting others, in making them feel helpless and weak. It felt as if two souls completely opposite to each other resided in my body now. ‘Is it? You seriously think that we are different?’ she scorned. ‘Yes, because I would be angry with my friends but never think of hurting them.’ I felt helpless. Yes, I was hurt by what Irene told about Sarah and sad at the thought of Ken having to compromise. ‘I told you that she-wolf doesn’t consider you her friend. She planned to even make us feel jealous of our sister. She tried to sabotage us. I would have snapped her neck had I not been recuperating,’ she growled as she br
The Last Dragon's Mage ~A Loyal Mage~
[Clyde] The dinner was a quiet affair with an anxious Alpha King trying to look put together and Queen Erica remaining absent. Mage Elias ate little, seemingly wishing the dinner to get over. I felt the same. Fionna was feeling restless, more often than not letting out an almost audible sigh. Everyone seemed to be a sort of relieved, and I couldn’t even blame them. ‘The woman has to create a chaotic scene every time we meet, doesn’t she?’ I thought. I wondered what triggered her to transform, but that piece of information could wait. Fionna almost cornered Mage Elias as everyone began to murmur goodbyes and retire to their respective quarters or houses. “Elias,” she called. The said man gave a strained answering smile. He turned to Alpha Xavier and said, “I need to speak to them if you don’t mind, Your Highness.” I could see a silent conversation being exchanged before Alpha King nodded reluctantly. I understood that the esteemed Mage would hardly share any real information t
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Soulmate~
[Clyde]It was the first time in years that I woke up gasping for breath, sweaty and with a pounding heart. Brenton rumbled at the back of my mind. I lifted my arm to find that my scales had surfaced. I touched my head to feel the horns that protruded a little. Dammit. The healer had given me the medicine, which would keep Brenton from taking the rein. I laid back down on the bed. My thoughts went back to the muffled cry of help from Valerie, to her wolf’s nonchalance and disregard for our bond…well, a dead bond now. ~~~~~The next morning, I was woken up by consistent knocking on my door. Fionna was asking me to hurry and wake up. When I opened the door, the initial irritation turned into concern when I saw her anxious and tense. “What happened?” I asked. Fionna doesn’t answer immediately. But when she did, she glanced away. “Valerie attacked her friend, Sarah I think last night and now she is in a critical condition.” The words are barely out before I am making my way to the door
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Conflicting Thoughts~
[Clyde]I don’t know what I was expecting, but silence and shock were at the very bottom of the list. I swept my glance around the room. “It is… true. That is why she could breach the barrier in the first place and maybe also because she is…” I had never felt so awkward and so out of depth, not since I was called by my mother who informed me that I would take over the dragon clan. I clasped my hands behind my back and waited for them to speak. “You are… Valerie’s soulmate? But dragons find their mates when…” Elias trailed off. “Yes, many think we find our mates much later in life since our dragon takes time to mature and grow,” I said. “Your Highness, why did you not tell this earlier?” the lady who had been quiet until now asked. She sounded tense. I pursed my lips. “Because we mutually rejected each other.” This time, instead of silence, the room reverberated with a growl. Alpha King stood up from his seat, his eyes' irises resembled twin flames. “What? She…rejected you or is i
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Fear and Fury~
[Valerie] Mom’s fearful gaze darts towards me while I stare at the spilled food and the shattered pieces of the bowl. My heart is thudding in my chest, blood pounding in my ears. “What is he saying?” mom asks, her voice barely above a whisper. I gulp. I shouldn’t be afraid but her astonishment makes me apprehensive. “Erica, she did not want to tell us because they have mutually rejected each other,” Elias interjects. I look at him in surprise. “Who said that?” Elias fornws. But mom interrupts once again and quizzes,”Why haven’t you told us anything?” There is a hint of anger in her tone. “I did not have the time and I don’t consider that a bond,” I reply defiantly, crossing my arms against my chest. Xyan comes rushing inside the room, a bit delayed in action but he looks startled. He takes in the sight and asks mom, “What’s the meaning of this?” Mom glares at him for interrupting before her gaze shifts back to me. I glance at Xyan who raises his eyebrows quizzically. So it lo
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Interrogation~
[Valerie] Clyde nods and dismisses them. I begin to tremble without even realising, not until Clyde murmurs, “Calm down. If you feel scared, then they will intimidate you even more.” How would you know? I wanted to ask but bit back my words. What’s the use? He will be helping me, so annoying him won’t be wise. I nod curtly as we leave the room. As we walk down the corridor, I spot Fionna who begins to approach us as soon as she notices us. She stops Clyde but I keep walking and catch her asking, “Are you sure about this?” I don’t hear Clyde’s answer. ~~~~ Two Elders are waiting in my father’s office, or so I am told. Sarah’s mom is there as well. My palms sweat as I wait outside the office. My eyes dart towards the entrance and I almost convince myself that Clyde won’t be coming, that he has changed his mind but then he enters and I find myself feeling relieved. Clyde and I enter the office. Sarah’s mother glares at me while the two Elders – Alpha Jeremy and Alpha Griffin, s
