What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

” 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 control our desires. Bloodlines, should always be dignified. Anybody going against those divine laws were meant to be chastised. Your aunt was no exception.

She brought shame to her family, getting impregnated with a human’s child. It was as good as getting a death penalty. But her brothers loved her too much. They could not hide the news of her pregnancy because each dragon soul ushers a Dragon Light, that is stored safely in our lanterns. Her child brought forth a shadow that was murky. It instantly stirred the atmosphere around the Royal Household. Demand for her corporal punishment started resonating. In such a situation, her brothers thought it best to strip her of all her Royal statuses and privileges. She was made a nobody from a might knight over night. She was packed off to the outskirts in the dead of the night . That was her supposed death for the Royal household.

None of the Royal family members ever saw her or mentioned her.

She was even erased from family portraits.

Only a few knew her existence. The ones that were secretly sent to give her food and clothings.

Which she refused every time.

We first saw her son when he accidentally ventured in your training area. He was strong like his mother. He was ambitious. But he was no Dragon that we could train. He was an abomination.

He was on the verge of his identity getting exposed in front of the audience, his mother secretly came to his aid.

She pulled him away by his hand as tears splashed from her eyes.

Big round tears of shame and embarrassment.

But shr had no body to blame, except herself. ”

Draco listened to the entire story, without interrupting even once.

” Is he back for revenge? Does he blame me for his mother’s death? Or perhaps their expulsion from the Royal Palace? ”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucian scoffed.

” What’s so funny? ”

Draco asked.

” You are responsible for his mother’s death technically and several others. Don’t you remember your bravery with the Hound Draco? Or is that a long closed Chapter? ”

Lucian and Draco were staring each other in the eye.

Just then Liana coughed.

She did not just cough. It was more like she choked.

And then she was spitting out water. Exactly like someone who was drowning and was then being given CPR and chest press.

” What’s happening? Where is all these water coming from? ”

Draco’s voice could not hide the panic.

” The effects of the Dragon Ashe has started. All the dead souls in our Dragon world will somehow or the other try to get to this girl. The only chance she has of survival is if she knew anyone amongst them. A soul that would guide her out of that death trap. But alas! She is only human. Without a deceased Dragon’s help, there is a tough luck of getting this girl back. ”

Master wipes the liquid from Liana’s face.

” There must be some way. Something that we can do. You are not asking me to just sit here and watch her die. Are you? ”

Master did not miss the urgency in his request.

” Please Master. Something. Anything. Perhaps you might use something from the human world? ”

It was Lucian’s turn this time to plead.

” Hmmmmmm! ” The Master tapped his beard and thought, ” the human world. That might help. Send her back to her own world. The Dragon spirits might have lesser impact there. It’s just trial and error. But she might have better fighting chance with sould from her own people around. Because here, there is nothing much that can be done at the moment. ”

Draco looked as Lucian and Lucian too , looked at him.

They looked split at the option.

” I will go with her! ”

Lucian picked Liana in his arms. ” You better take care of your son! ”

Before Draco could say anything else or protest, Lucian was gone.

Draco kept staring at the blanks he felt behind .

” They are gone my Lord. Perhaps you too should be heading back and take some rest! “Master finally spoke after he saw Draco staring at the same spot for minutes, without blinking.

He turned to sort his potions and papers when Draco held his hand.

” Am I bad at expressing myself? Or am I just selfish? ”

Master stopped at his words.

He turned towards Draco but did not say anything.

” Perhaps you might think of me as a moody tyrant. Perhaps you think I just think of you as just a subordinate. You even call me Dragon Lord now, instead of calling me Draco like you used to do. I am not complaining. I do not blame you. I gambled for power with everything else. It’s a fate that I deserve. ”

The Master walked softly towards him with slow steps. He held Draco’s hand and kissed his palm.

” You are the most passionate amongst all my pupils. There is nothing that you do that will ever lower your respect , your status, in my eyes. “
