That rush was real. I felt it well. That influx of high volt electric pulses in all my veins. They pumped up changing the very composition of my body. It felt great to be back to my own element. If I would have ever prayed, it would have been at that moment. To save my son. And also the person sitting beside. The first step, was to stop time. I did that the moment I opened my eyes. I bent over to pick her up. I thought she was frozen like everything around as well. But she squirmed. " Ouch, Draco! I get up by myself. You are pressing the glass shards further inside my body! "I was literally too stunned to speak. A human was defying my control, my ability. " Let's go. Hurry! "She looked like a porcupine with glass pieces sticking out from everywhere. But she grabbed my hand. The world frozen around her did matter to her as well. " Draco, Damian... "Right. I held her and we went straight to her mother's place. It was pitch black. Even my eyes fought and strained. This w

My mother was still breathing. It was in fact the first time that I had really been worried about her wellbeing. " Mother! Are you alright? "I knew she wasn't. She had scalding marks all over her and so did the other guys. My mother's boys. Her personal army. They were the highest paid bodyguards. But they were all lying on the ground. None moved a limb. " Yes, that's the place! " I was about to hang up from my call to the police and ambulance, when my mother clasped at my feet. She could hardly open her eyes. " Liana... "Her voice faint and weak. Barely audible. So I went closer to her face. " I am right here. Don't worry. Will get you to the hospital, the ambu... "" Liana... Damian. She took him! "There was worry in her eyes. Not for herself or her boys but my Damian. Draco was standing a few feets away. The moment his ear caught Damian's name, he darted at us like Flash. My mother seemed unbothered. She lifted her arm to hold Draco's hand. And to my surprise he even

There was no doubt that the ones involved with Kiara's murder had human help. We all knew Marcus frequented the human world. Was it possible that he had smuggled in a human without anyone's knowledge? I was lost deep in my thoughts when suddenly a hand dropped on my right shoulder. " Lost in your thoughts again it seems Draco! I waited long enough for you to come and see me. But since you were apparently very busy, I thought to come check on you. You seem to have had quite an adventure in the human world! Care to share a little with this old man? "It was Master. He sat himself in the chair opposite to mine. It was by my order that he was allowed anywhere in the palace, unchecked. I had my armours up against him all these while, unwilling to let my emotions cloud my rational judgment. Was there anyway for my nose to not know what my mouth was after? Marcus and Master were closer than my facial features. " It is indeed great that you finally decided to drop by! I think you are a

" 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

" 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
