Liana's POV" Why are we back here? "I knew my voice was shaky. The memories of this place was still fresh inside my head. It definitely was not a fond one. Draco and I were standing at the edge. Ready to take the plunge inside the dark whole. " Listen Liana! "He turned my head to face him. " There are things in this world that might seem absurd to you but they are as true as the sky is blue. Though it might camouflage into different shades. "His talking like that and me making a sorry face was now the norm. It was nothing absurd." I knew that your are a Selected one the day the Spirit Charmers started ringing on your entrance! "There goes. What's with this Selected One? What did I get selected for? " Liana, not all humans have bodies that can adapt with a growing Dragon foetus. One in a trillion is blessed with that. "I was still processing but he continued. "For centuries humans have worshipped Dragons . The only reason we ventured into the human world was to look for the
" LI-A- NAAAAAA! "I remembered those voices which were whispering in my ears again. The redness in my vision had intensified. Things around were more vivid this time. The rocks and boulders, the sound of the water fall . Everything was more clear as I walked further and further inside. My eyes desperately searching for my Damian. " Liana! "This time the voice was right behind my back. Startled, I almost fell in front. Something held me back. It was cold and chilli. I turned my head real slow. I was expecting some vile figure or a vicious creature with its fangs out at me. Instead I looked at a figure resembling the Hooded Lady. The only difference was that, this was a male. " Who are you? How do you know my name? "I think he smirked. " I know more than your name Liana. Come with me. I believe you are looking for a dragon named Damian! "He effectively dodged the part where I asked him about himself. Instead he showed my towards a very big entrance. I was contemplating whet
Sometimes it's easier to ignore something than to admit that it's killing you. I was the perfect example of that at the moment. I had voluntarily sent Liana inside evils' den. I was the one to push her inside that hell. I was the one that needed to know the possible future and perhaps Damian's location as well, taken that he was hidden in this Dragon realm. And for that , I had put her very life on bet. Why then was I getting paranoid? I was connected with her, only through my infrared eyesight. I had given her that gift of sight from my senses so she would be better able to navigate. The only way I would be able to get to her was when she let go of that sense. In other words, blinked or closed her eyes. But she wasn't doing that for a long time. So I had to intervene and try and get to her. Just then I got my first connection. She blinked and I got a snap like view of where she was. From her point of view. And whatever I saw was horrendous. I should have taken that factor
" Show me where exactly did you see Damian! "Draco spread a map of the dragon empire before her and asked Liana to point out. " There. Somewhere down there! "She said and then looked up. Lucian and Draco looked at each other. " Amongst the ruins? Are you certain? "Lucian had the same voice of disbelief but Draco contradicted his own views this time. " Ask Raba to get a group of twelve ready for us. We are leaving right now. There is no way to confirm this without going there. Liana, you are coming as well! "" Who, me? Okay! "She was following Draco out of the place when he stopped, " Why are you following me? "" You asked me to come. Didn't you? "She almost looked confused. " I asked you to join us when we go to the outskirts. Not now! "Draco said in the most polite way possible with a smile that clearly showed that he was annoyed. " Are you going to the dungeons? "Lucian suddenly asked. Draco stopped again. He nodded this time without making any face. " Are you going
The thin membrane cloaking the unseen from reality was removed. Seeing the dragons fly in their true forms, majestic and beastly was no ordinary feat in itself. Not many survived. It was a feat quite close to legendary. Liana was holding on to Lucian's neck with her body and arms. She was typically lying down on him and bear hugging him with all her body parts. She did remember his warning. She dared not harm those heavenly, glittering scales. " Damn! Why does this feel so good!... "Liana thought she heard a murmur though nobody spoke. " Umm, Lucian, did you say something just now? "She tried to look at his eyes, bending a little down. As soon as they made eye contact, Lucian dived several feets towards the ground. The motion made Liana forget everything else and cling tightly onto the slippery dragon with renewed grip . " Did she just hear my thoughts?Impossible."In that commotion, Liana thought she heard something again. But this time, she chose to ignore. In no time they
His claws flashed his Dragon heredity without mistake. His breath fell on my face as he held his nails at my neck. They were so sharp that a slight moment om my part, pierced my skin. A tiny droplet of blood emerged. I could feel it roll down my neck in a tiny stream. " Indentify yourself and let her go! "It was Raba. But she froze in her tracks as soon as the man turned his head. It seemed like she knew who he was and perhaps even feared him. "You! You are still alive? Did you not die with your mother , buried under these rubbles? "She looked puzzled, curious and stunned, all at once. It was like she knew the person who was about to get me murdered. Just then the rest of the group dropped in front of us, one by one. Except Draco. Each stood with their arms in their hands. But none stroke him. Were they worried about my condition? Nah! I was getting to high. I was just a human. Nobody would batter an eye if I died, they probably had some goof ups piled up from before. " R
" It has been illegal to make or keep Dragon Ashes for a reason. "It was Master who claimed as Draco and Lucian sat on the other side of the table. They were all sitting in the infirmary, watching Liana turn pale and blonde. " Do you really not remember him at all? Or are you deliberately trying to act tough? "Lucian jeered at Draco but he did not react. " Was this the one born to aunt after she was exiled? "Draco asked Master. He nodded. " It all began with your Aunt going to the human world for a mission. She was fierce. She was strong. She lead her brothers' men to many victories. But she was young. But youth is a pollen that blows through the sky and does not ask why. She fell in love with a human boy there. This made her inpatient. Lovers fear seperation the most. She was no exception. She found one excuse or the other to be with her human lover. All was well of only the she had maintained her distance. Emotional love is something out of our control but we can always con
I placed her on her bed. Her house had been locked for what seemed like months in the human time. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. A series of stale milk packets waited for he return at her door step. They were accompanied by the everyday newspapers. I made the bed clean my changing the top sheet. She stirred a little in my arms. Or was I imagining? I placed her down as the moon light fell directly on her face. Her skin shined just like a dragon's scale. Her hair was untied. It looked like flowing water, flaming her face. I touched her forehead to move the stray tresses. Gosh! I had to back off. Seeing her like that made, my heart skip, touching her skin almost gave me a heart attack. It was not happening all over again. I was not falling for a human girl whom Draco had taken in as his mate. I pulled my own hair back as I placed my hand on my head. I wanted to head back. To the Dragon Realm. I was not bound to take care of her, I had volunteered. I could have easily se
