What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

” Kiara? ”

Was that a crack in that voice?

I turned.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

” Who is Kiara? ” I asked.

His eyes glowed. Shifting it’s colour once again. He walked towards me with that chilly aura of his. With slow brisk steps.

” Why are you in her clothes? ”

Draco demanded. His voice was almost in a whisper. Like the calm before calamity hits.

” I … ummm… didn’t you ask me to be presentable? But these were all that Ichiona had fetched. ”

I pointed to the golden tray still kept on the shelf.

It had two shell shaped metals that were supposed to act as covers for my cups and a metal lining that was supposed to cover my lady parts. It was beautiful with green engravings on top. But was too little.

” I could not possibly wear that and go out with you. So I looked inside these storages and found this dress. It looked elegant and neat. So I borrowed it. I did not mean any disrespect. ”

” Never mind. ” Draco looked away.

” The place I will be taking you to might be spiked with danger. But I need to make your presence known to those that might be there.

It’s just a hunch. But we need to be sure about that.

No matter what happens, make sure to never leave my sight. Got that? ”

” Why would I? Do I look to you as if I am very eager to die? ” I thought but did not answer him. I just nodded.

” Good. Let’s go. ”

” Draco… wait. ”

He turned towards me. His eyes questioning.

” Umm, we haven’t talked since we got here. Can you spare just a few minutes. We need to do some clearing. ”

I had to take my chance. It was best to be brave and tell him on his face.

” Ichiona explained the mating situation in your kingdom. Realm. But you see, the only reason I am here… ”

” I have no interest in having any kind of a physical relationship with you. ”

He straight away said.

” You don’t? ”

The way I uttered that, sounded more like I took offense.

” I mean, Oh! that’s great. But Ichiona… ”

” Ichiona doesn’t know any better Liana. She is just a maid. ”

Draco was getting impatient.

” Yeah. Just like I was just a human. ”

I guessed I already knew that.

Draco grabbed my waist without another word or delay. The landscape around me started fading at his speed.

He stopped when we reached a higher point. He put me down. It was strange land.

The night sky was covered with what looked like auroras of our poles but it was purple and pinkish. The plants glowed golden against the dark. The leaves were all shining. The vast stretch in front of me looked seperated . Starkly.

There was the place that we had left behind. Looked like a levitating city from somewhere in the future. It’s structures looked elegant and huge even from the distance that we were in. There seemed towers and domes. Scattered in orbits around a solar system. Except the fact that they were not in motion. And neither was there any sun. Each structure had a different design. A different look. A different shade of colour. Strangely there seemed no roads. May be it wasn’t because these creatures flew and leaped. There was no need for one.

The other stretch in front of me was a mix of barren lands and sparkling vegetations.

It was dark unlike the land behind us. So with my eyes I could not properly see the details in that light.

” We will be going in there. Keep your guards on. ”

he gave me a head start.

” But remember Liana. Outside your bedroom, you will be known in my kingdom as my human mate. Understood? ”

” No, I did not. ”

I wanted to say but I ended up only nodding my head.

“Draco… ”

I wanted to ask him something but my voice faded with the swift movement of his hands.

We took, what looked like the tallest bungee jump. Except there was no cable. We were free falling. I had to hold on for dear life. But Draco seemed to be enjoying.

Thud!

We stopped.

It was pitch black.

” Close your eyes. ”

I did. I could feel Draco’s hand slide over my eyes. It gave me a strange tingling.

“Now go. ”

He ordered.

” Go where? Did he not ask me not to leave his sight. Now he was asking me to go. Strange fellow. ”

The words got buried yet again inside my brain.

I followed command.

The darkness inside the place was gone. I had what seemed like a reptilian vision. Infrared. But it was better than being completely blind.

” Where am I supposed to go? ”

” Just keep walking. ”

We were slowly advancing towards some water source. I could clearly hear it’s burble. Soft. Soothing.

I paced my steps.

The sound was inviting. I was walking in that direction when I suddenly turned around.

Stopped.

Draco was missing.

Did he just abandon me. In a place like this.

Goodness.

How am I even supposed to find my way back.

I looked around. My dress swirled.

Then I saw something glow on one of the big boulders that was in front.

I ran.

It vanished.

Draco.

I heard myself mumbling.

” Draco! ”

my voice became louder as fear started sinking in.

LIANA……

I thought I heard a voice.

It came from the water’s side. Should I keep going?

It was tempting.

But I needed to get back. I needed to find Draco.

I could feel there were eyes watching me. But I dreaded the encounter.

LIANA…..

The voice called again.

This time, I could feel there were movements in the darkness, along with some prying eyes.

I closed my eyes and ran. Ran back towards the direction I had entered.

I don’t know how long I had been running.

I bumped and came to a halt.

I dared not but slowly opened my eyes.

It was Draco.

He was back

” DID I NOT ASK YOU NOT TO LEAVE MY SIGHT!? ”

he thundered with his annoying voice.

But I smiled.

And rammed him into a hug.
