She always looked beautiful, no matter what she did. Even as she lay, in the deepest slumber, unaware she was in another realm, my mate was the definition of beauty. My hand caressed the side of her face, moving in, gently placing a kiss on her lips. I remained above her, Xeric taking in her scent with a low growl. It was the only thing we could do to keep calm now. The only thing that would not rob us of our sanity. That would keep us from panicking. Panicking in the world we were in. I looked up, finding the courage that had dwindled as I walked toward the palace window, ripping the large curtains open. Finally bringing light to the gloomy room. One I had not slept in for decades. My heart pounded within me as the sun shone through, opening the large glass windows as I walked to the balcony, my eyes set on my Kingdom. The kingdom I had left decades ago. Kesh was beautiful as I remembered it. The air was purer than the poison in the Neut realm. The birds hummed and flew low. I mi

Realm: Supe Realm Location: Valleys of Riota The Four Dragons and Micheal stood at the North Eastern edge of the Ignere, loose breaths taken by the soft forest breeze. Yohan gulped slowly as he stared across the edge of the boundary leading to the foreign forest before them, glancing down at the ancient band that clung to his wrist. Micheal watched this action in the uttermost amusement, his gaze gingerly studying those of the two hydras and the General Tar, beside him. Despite their intimidating statures, they all looked breathless. It was probably the thought of crossing the borders for the first time in their lives. They would be the first of their kind to ever leave the safety of Ignere in more than a decade after the Golden Dragon and his Guardian had left with Abigail. “Well, the journey begins this way,” He grunted crossing the boundary with a mere step. The Dragons behind him watched curiously as he moved further into the forests after Ignere, the forest of his people, th

LOCATION: Neut Realm [AZIANS POV] Dark. Cold. The feeling took over my body despite the heat that traveled beneath my skin. Stoned walls. Every detail was appearing and disappearing at an alarming rate and I tried my utter best to focus, my breathing harsh as I struggled to move. I breathed out, trying to see well. Why couldn't I see? I fisted my hands squinting through the darkness, trying to block out the sharp low buzzing ringing in my ears. Alpha growled again. What was he trying to show me? My eyes traced around the blurry dark room, a scent of sage hanging in the air. Bed. I could make out a bed. I tried to walk toward it, but my steps were swayed. Shaking my head and prodding my mind to focus, I was able to take a few shaky steps toward it. The closer I got the more I would see that there was a figure on the bed. My heart began to pound louder. Growing want entrapping me. It was hot now. Not cold. Hair. Curly brown hair. My heart thumped within me and I tried to stop

[Ally's POV] Something was burning. My nose twitched, and beneath my closed eyelids my eyes moved, trying to cut off the scent. I slowly opened my heavy eyelids, an immediate pain stretching down every joint of my body. Had I been crushed alive? Is that why my body felt like it had been trampled by a giant and then run over by a big-ass bus? Groaning, I tried to pry my eyelids wider, hoping to clear my vision but no matter how much I tried it remained blurry and hazy. With the exit of another groan, I was able to slowly shift my head to the side roughly making out a blurry figure of a woman, gliding gracefully around the room, holding what seemed to be like a…burning branch. A stick, it was way too small to be a branch A burning stick? Think Ally...what is that? I prodded my head for the origin of that smell. I knew what that was. Sage. Yes…the blurry woman was burning sage. I blinked repeatedly, this time picking a low humming noise that seemed to be coming from the ghost of

[Azian's POV] The four men behind me moved quietly, heads bowed, none daring to speak. I didn't mind the silence, if anything I rather liked it. It had been roughly 14 years since I had been around another of my kind which wasn't Edwin of course. My Dragon felt at ease knowing he was around his kind but I doubted the same could be said for them. They were exuding rather fearful auras. I would imagine without even knowing it, Alpha was exiting his suffocating aura. He huffed at this, not bothering to mend it. It was something about ensuring that they knew who was Alpha. Nevertheless, in the steady quiet, I had taken time to read each and every one of their auras. I knew Tars and the Hydras by heart. Tars dragon, Flame was strong, stronger than any other dragon after mine and my Fathers. The Hydra's came in with their own advantages and added disadvantages. I figured since they found me or rather I found them, they probably had made an attempt to send a mind message back to their
