NEVER IN MY WILDEST IMAGINATION HAD I EVER IMAGINED I WOULD WATCH A DRAGON BEING DRAGGED TO THE POLICE STATION. Not any dragon. The king of the Dragons. He never spoke a word. Nor did he seem to actually resist. But his magnitude in itself was making it difficult for the cops to make him get in. I bit my fingers almost to the point that it was about to bleed. I was stopping myself from crying or screaming. I watched them shove him at his rib and thigh with the pointed edge of their guns. They were treating him like the worst of criminals. I glared at my mother. She might have understood. " Enough. Enough. Don't make it so rough and obvious officer. I am sure you will have enough legal actions to take against him. "She waved her hands as if asking them to quickly move him from our place. They did so. The Police Van sped straight ahead. I turned to face her again. " Which orphanage did you send Damian to? I need the address! "" Duh! Am I obliged to answer you? "" Yes! T
I wore my black hoodie. My favorite one. But I didn't wear it because it was my favorite. I wore it along with a black cap, black face mask and black sunglasses. It was to make sure that I was totally unidentifiable. Had this been just a few months ago, I would have rolled over laughing over my deeds. I was walking on tip toes, in the middle of the night, with a dagger in my hand. But this was not the weirdest part. I was headed to a much weirder place. I was headed to the one famous psychic in our town. Widely known as Mystic Joe. No need to judge me. Who in their right senses, goes to those fraudsters for a solution. That had been my attitude too. But I needed to save a dying Dragon, so I was not left with much options. The stairs that lead me to the room were lit with tiny neon lights. It made me cringe more. " Come in! "a voice called just before I was about to knock. I pushed the door. The inside of the room was filled with scented smoke. I closed my eyes and immediatel
I did not expect her to return that fast. Honestly, speaking, I would have to admit that I had thought she too had deserted me after knowing about my powerlessness. Strength was the most admirable aspect in our dragon world. Without strength, one was nothing but a laughing stock. She winked at me! The audacity!How informal was she going to be with me. " Officer, we have his ID card right, here. Now can we process the bail! "Her words did not register clearly with me. The officer took something from her hand. Glanced at it and then back at her and the person who was accompanying her. She was fidgeting with her finger under the desk. It meant she was nervous. " And who is going to be the guarantor? "" I will! " The man accompanying Liana raised his hands. " And who might you be? "He made a twirl. A complete 360° . Even Liana looked cringed. " I am the famous Mystic Joe! Don't you know me? "The officer rolled his eyes. He went inside as Liana rushed over to me. " Your na
That w*ore of a mother of mine had not sent Damian to any orphanage. That damn liar. I had called up every possible place a child could be other than an orphanage like day cares and shelters. He was nowhere. I had driven miles at stretch, trying to reach the places which did not have any active communication. None of those were of any success. " Aaahhh! "I scattered all the contents of the table with one strong push. The glass paper weight tumbled down and shattered to pieces. I could not care less. I got up with determination. There was only one place left where my Damian could be. Under my very nose. At my mother's place. I stepped on the accelerator as I saw the watchmen close the gate right on my face. The audacity! Blocking me in my own father's estate. It was time they learnt who they were messing with. I stepped on the accelerator. Bang! The bonnet of my car smashed into several pieces. There was even a little fire. The smirk on my face fear on theirs got bigg
That man did not miss a single opportunity to touch my bare body. He was all over me. Decorating every inch with some needle. " These are Ivory Needles. Like poison takes poison out, this will help get rid of the primary impact the dagger has had on you, " he danced as he explained, " this liquid that I am dipping these ivory needles into is a rare piece of item. His smile was bad enough, now I was having to bare with his smirk. " This Mr. Dragon is Trilithium. A deadly weapon. But for a Dragon skin it acts as a detoxing element. I bet none of these items are available in the Dragon kingdom. That what makes this ordinary Ivory Blade so special. Do you think I could supply these to your kingdom? Would you like to act as my broker in your home market? We will split the profit share fifty fifty. Say what? "That little... He dared to slap my shoulder . Even without my power, I was still the Dragon King. My stare sent him reeling three steps back at once. " Alright. Alright. for
I opened my eyes with Liana staring down on me. I jumped up. I was wearing only a boxer and I was on a bed. I looked around. I remembered passing out at the hall. How and when did I get here. Several baseless illicit images crossed my head.Then I thought I saw a slight smirk on Liana's face. " No! No! Nothing like that happened! "I was defending myself but had no idea from what assault. " Oh! I know you did. There is nothing to be ashamed of here. It's our body. It reacts differently in different situations! "" I SAID NO. I know exactly how my body reacts and around whom! "I was standing now face to face, nose to nose with her. My body literally pressing against her. I noticed her noticing me down below. Then it registered how wrongly timed my words were. I immediately backed off and said, " I didn't mean it that way! "Was it blush or was she embarrassed? The red on her cheeks were unmistakable. " Ahem! Draco! I was actually referring to you collapsing on the floor la
Draco was missing from the battle field! I would not have personally believed that. Never. He could be a scumbag. A casanova. Ruthless or arrogant. But coward? Nah! Him and coward were words that were poles apart. They could never go hand in hand. But that human, Liana was missing too. What was this strange riddle? Draco was not the type to desert his soldiers at the front line and disappear with a mistress. Something was definitely fishy in the atmosphere. " Hail to my Lord Lucian! "A messenger barged in, disturbing my inner concerns. " What is it? "" We received urgent call for help from the Northern frontier. The walls are soon going to be breached if cannot hold back the Hounds! "The kingdom was as much mine as it was his. " Gather Draco's Elite Soldiers. Aish! I guess I will have to jump in again to sort his mess! "I changed into my Battle Attire as soon as the messenger left. Draco's Council Hall was empty. I walked upto his chair and stood beside it as usual. It
That day was engraved in my mind with a hot iron rod. I remembered it in my nightmares and even when I was awake. Every minute of my life. I was happily returning home with my kill. Mother had promised to get the game roasted for us before lunch. No sooner had I entered the village perimeter than the smell of death and horrifying wails greeted my excited self. I was still a child. I failed to understand what was all the sudden chaos. Our tiny, rugged but beautiful little village was nothing more than a huge pile of rubbles. Just a handful of dragons could still be spotted. Others were all scattered all over the place. Smashed. Cracked. Opened apart. The hunt fell from my hands when the reality of the situation slowly started to sink in. Even the walk to our home was stained with blood. " Mother..... Mother... MOTHER! "I ran with my full endeavor. " MOTHER..... "What mother! Our entire neighborhood was gone! I searched like a lunatic. Picking up the rubbles and throwing t
