All I could see was the brilliant blue from the commet envelope me. The place shook with the intensity of a nuclear explosion. The earth under our feet seemed like it shattered. A terrible reverberation was piercing my ears. My head felt like it would end up over turning. l felt a pair of warm hand cushion ear drums. Making the unbearable agony, calm down a little bit. My eyes were tightly shut. Or perhaps they were open but had no sight. . It must have been the aftermath of the intense luminescence. That dazzled my optical lobe and eye. I impulsively held tighter unto the body that was hugging me. It felt to sturdy and tough, something like a rock. "LUCIAN! I asked you to stop the dragon spirit from exploding. "It was Draco's unmistakable voice. I turned my head after hearing it. If it wasn't Draco, then who was it that was holding me. I tried to blink to restore my vision. But the pupils still needed time adjusting. The cushion around my ears was slowly removed. I could f
The wind gushed like crazy as soon as I put my first step. " Looks like a storm is coming, "I timidly observed, holding tight onto the lady's hand. " Doesn't look like a storm to me. "she stood tall in front of me, looking as the bells rang. There were a million lined up at the entrance. Almost in a pattern. It looked familiar. But I could not remember how. They were ringing in a rhythmic pattern. Even my naive self could understand that much. Ichiona seemed deeply engrossed in it. " What is it? "I asked again. " It's the spirit charmer my lady. We better hurry inside. "She grabbed my hand and then it felt like we became jell-o and slid inside. "Whoa! What was that! Cool. "I flipped my hands as of trying to check for superpowers. Freshly gained. " It's my water power, my lady. I didn't want the chaos outside to cause you any pain. "Ichiona explained with a warm smile. She looked very elegant. Her features too were very sharp. But other than that, she just looked human.
The Spirit Charmers?My ears made no mistake. It was ringing again. Draco was not completely wrong this time. This human did have some special traits. But why does it resonate with her ring. Should I go? Perhaps. For the last time. Just this once. He did keep the entrance deserted. Does he think his enemies to be fools. I should not be laughing at my own brother, but he is just an arrogant, old fool. HhhhhmmmmHer smell still lingers in these air. DAMN! KIARA. WHY? Shit. The vase. I should have more control on my emotions. " Lucian? "Kiara? DAMN! NO! That's Draco's human mate. A strange shiver ran down the back of my spine. It had happened never. My jaws dropped opened, I wanted to but I could not move my eyes. Then she ran inside, probably screaming. But my senses were still recuperating. What evil bewitchment did I just witness. "Ah! I didn't see anything. "Why did I have to say that. It made me look so stupid. " Master Lucian? "It was Ichiona this time. " I
PERVERTED DRAGONS. Were all dragons like that? Even though I did find myself crushing over Lucian, his advances were a huge turn off. But what was all the commotion outside? This noise. Did it sound familiar? Or was it a mistake? I was all alone. Sitting on the soft bedding over the wooden plank. Ichiona and Lucian were outside, along with a few other dragons. I sat swinging my feet. When suddenly I felt a tap on my back. DRACO! I smiled as I stood up. Was I glad to have seen him? " Is this all your doing? "He abruptly asked."Me? What? I don't even know what you are accusing me of? "I should have gotten used to being treated in this way by him. But I clearly wasn't. " The spirit charmers ringing. "He pointed at the sounds that echoed outside. " Do you mean I have a super power of any kind? "I lifted up my hands and twirled around trying to see if I too was growing some wings. Did I really develop any super power in these lands? Like they did in vampire flicks when they
" Was it her? "" It was. "Draco answered Master as they sat to resume their talk, along with their game. " Was she able to control it? "" I had to intervene. " Draco answered making his next move on the board game. His little minion marched in front boldly, as his fingers instructed. " How is our Prince doing? "" He hasn't been doing very well if I want to be honest with you. And it is you, that is why I can be real. "The Master put his hand on Draco's shoulder. " We can not put our guards down. Specially now that the Prince is back. "" Were you able to identify the poison that was given to Kiara? "The Master shook his head. It was of a lethal and rare kind. One that even by passed our late Queen's knowledge and senses. I only got to know about it from the traces of her flaking skin that was left behind on her bed. "He paused, " May be if we were able to find her body we could have been able to further investigate. "Draco looked up. The Master moved his Bishop ahead. "
" Kiara? "Was that a crack in that voice? I turned. " Who is Kiara? " I asked. His eyes glowed. Shifting it's colour once again. He walked towards me with that chilly aura of his. With slow brisk steps. " Why are you in her clothes? "Draco demanded. His voice was almost in a whisper. Like the calm before calamity hits. " I ... ummm... didn't you ask me to be presentable? But these were all that Ichiona had fetched. "I pointed to the golden tray still kept on the shelf. It had two shell shaped metals that were supposed to act as covers for my cups and a metal lining that was supposed to cover my lady parts. It was beautiful with green engravings on top. But was too little. " I could not possibly wear that and go out with you. So I looked inside these storages and found this dress. It looked elegant and neat. So I borrowed it. I did not mean any disrespect. "" Never mind. " Draco looked away. " The place I will be taking you to might be spiked with danger. But I need to make
SHE WAS JUST A PAWN. Another of my means to get to what I covet. " The next time you decide to disregard my command, make sure to never come back. Because next time I will surely kill you with my own hands if you don't die. "This was aught to strike a sense of fear. Submission. Obedience. Yet she smiled back. Like a fool. It seemed like she was enjoying a scolding. " I knew you would not abandon me like this. Anyway. What is this place? "she asked as if I owed her any explanation. Nevertheless I obliged. She had proven and was supposed be more useful. " It's the resting place of Scattered Souls. A dangerous but important station. "" Ohhhhhhh! "she nodded her head with a big, open mouth. " But what is this place? " she repeated herself like an idiot. " I just told you. "" I got that. What I am asking is what is it's use. Like why are we here. What purpose is that serving. "" Liana, Duck. "I pulled her babbling mouth, by holding down her neck. A series of Beast venom, mi
" Here. Get her checked. "he threw me like a thrash bag in front of an elderly looking man. The man took a curious look at me and then looked back towards Draco. " My Lord, you seem injured too. "" It's nothing! "Draco was about to leave when I held his arrogant hand. " Ahh! "his moan gave away the truth. " You should get yourself treated first. "I pulled him back and made him sit on the place he had just disposed off me. This Dragon was too proud for his own good. The elderly looking man glanced from my face to Draco's and then looked down. Was there a little smile or perhaps amusement on his face? " Make it quick Marcus! I have other things to tend to as well. "he roared. " Yes my Lord. " the man jumped up to action. " Maids. "he yelled. I looked around. We were in some sort of a medical facility. It was different from the room I had first woken up in, in this world. That was more life a retreat. A place to rest. This was like a real facility. There were instruments
