Chapter 50 - Dominate
Homura was sleeping soundly in my arms. His little tongue was sticking out and so was his legs. He
looked like a ran over animal sleeping in my arms.
Demarcus breathing was unstable, and he was flying slower then before. He hadn't stopped flying
since last night. The sun was already rising from the east, lighting up the world again.
"Demarcus let's rest, you need it" I patted him. He let out a grunt and then dived down where a small
rocky hill was. With my spare hand I grasped Demarcus spine while tightly holding Homura.
"AHHHHHHH!" I was startled by Homura's sudden shrieking. Demarcus huffed in annoyance, flapping
his wings wildly as he slowly landed on the rocky ground of the cliff. Homura was frightened and he
was breathing quickly in my ear. "I think I feel my heart in the wrong place"
I gave him a questioned look. "I think it's near my tail" he peeked his head to look at his tail.
"My heart has moved down" he mumbled, sounding like a drunk guy. I rolled my eyes at his stupid
remarks.
Demarcus suddenly collapsed, his wings spreading out and he was slumped down, with a every inhale
he took me and Homura rose up and down.
Stroking his scaly spine, I praised him. "You did well now rest. I'll get you something to eat"
I got up and walked towards his wings before sliding down like a slide and landing silently on the rocky
surface.
"What is the diet of a dragon?" I asked. "I prefer deer" he said under the breathless tone of his. I
nodded my head.
Demarcus green eyes were heavy, and he was trying to keep them open enough to talk to me.
"Artemis" he said getting my full attention. "That power of yours. You mustn't reveal it to anyone, no one
must know you possess great magic".
"Not even the king of Drakon must know of it" there was a hint of hatred in his voice as he bared his
sharp teeth.
I nodded my head. "Only God would know what he will try to do to you" is what he said lastly and then
to turn his head to the forest ahead of us and closing his eyes.
"Oh, and Artemis"
"Hmm"
"Be careful in the forest. Dangerous creatures lurk these parts of the woods" he hummed. I nodded my
head in response. 'Such a thoughtful dragon' I couldn't help but smile.
"Since you can control dragons, can you make him jump of a cliff" Homura whispered to me. I looked
down at him and he was staring at me with an innocent grin across his snout. "I'm only kidding, please
don't skin me alive"
I sighed with a shake of my head. "You will never change"
"what's wrong with my personality?" Homura was baffled, looking at me with his amber eyes insulted by
my comment on him. "Your wrapped up in oneself, a dramatic diva and arrogant little fox" I started to
walk towards Demarcus, pointing at all Homura's personal flaws.
He gasped with his paw on his chest.
"You take that back" he poked my chin, narrowing his eyes at me. "Nope. They are for you to reflect on
yourself and change" I said stopping beside Demarcus long lizard like neck. "Well then if we are going
to reflect on our personality, then here is some for 'you'" he growled, poking my chin again.
"Your nothing but a short tempered, stupid, useless, clueless, sadistic and rather selfish human I have
ever met" he poked at me with every insult he said, and it felt like arrows were piercing my heart. A
vein throb appeared on my temples. "I don't need you to describe my faults and I'm the first human you
ever met" I said with a twitching smile.
With his non injured paw he shoved my face away from his. "Move your ugly flat face away from mine.
It's clogging my majestic beauty from the world"
The dragon let out a grumble of annoyance startling us. "You're lucky the dragon is asleep, or I would
have made you his breakfast" I whispered angrily. Homura stared at me before grinning ear to ear.
"haven't the big yellow lizard told you that he doesn't eat foxes" he said with a smug attitude.
"Getting cocky are we here" I rose an eyebrow with slight smirk. "It seems to me you have forgotten the
ability I possess"
"Don't abuse your power against me, human." He whispered angrily, afraid if he raised his voice, he
would awaken the sleeping dragon.
"I can and I will" I lowered my head an inch away from his. Quickly he shoved my face away again.
"How many times do I have to tell you to keep that annoying flat face away from me" he hissed.
"I'm a homo sapien, of course I have a flat face" I snapped back at him making Homura stare at me in
questioned look. "A what?"
"I'm a type of mammal" I explained. "You're a mammal" he eyed me up and down in a disgusted
manner. I glared at him. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, it's just I thought humans were nothing but furless parasites with long sticks covered in just
skin poking out their paws with dumb looking flat faces"
"It bothers me that out of all the places you decided to bicker, you chose to do it near my ear while I'm
sleeping" Demarcus spoke in irritation. Me and Homura flinched from surprise. "hahaha~ sorry
Demarcus" I laughed awkwardly.
"The loud human started it" Homura pointed at me, I was caught off guard for a second.
"You little shit, where are you pointing at" I bonged his head with my fist. "You're the one who opened
your stinky snout!" I shouted.
"STINKY MOUTH!" he screamed. "You should smell your breath. It's revolting. My fur is rotting away ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
because of it" Homura patted his white belly.
This time, three vein throbs popped out my temples. "I'm going to drop kick-"
"If I hear another word out of the both of you, I will swat you the both of you with my tail" Demarcus
green eyes glared at both of us, his nostrils flared in anger making Homura tremble and me silent.
"That's what I thought" his tone was a little terrifying before he turned his head and rested them back
on his hands. "Mummy" Homura mumbled with terror.
"I will drop kick you one day. You'll see" I whispered, looking down at him with an icy cold glare.
Homura stuck his tongue at me.
"I will wait patiently for that day" he whispered back, squinting his eyes at me. Lightning cackled
between our eyes as we both glared at each other in competition.
Homura wrinkled his nose and averted his eyes away from mine. "Stinky human. Flat faced ugly
human" he mumbled.
I didn't want to start another fight with this snobby princess fox and anger Demarcus again, so I ignored
his insults and bent down, placing Homura on the hard rocky surface.
"Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?" he said.
"I can't take you with me when I'm hunting. You will be just a handful" I explained turning away.
"No. No. You can't do this to me" I heard him tremble. "goodbye" I waved my hand to him "Don't leave
me with this dragon"
Stopping in my tracks, I cocked my head back and smirked. "I thought you said Demarcus doesn't eat
foxes"
He went speechless, narrowing his eyes at me and mumbled something I couldn't hear.
"That's what I thought" I grinned. Turning my head back to the forest ahead of me, I spoke to Homura
one last time "Now be a good little fox until I come back with our breakfast" I waved to him.
~5 minutes before Demarcus snatched Artemis~
~Aureum Palace and Ventus Palace~
"What are you calling the priests for?" Edmond titled his head and gave him a questioned look.
"Something you said gave me a theory" Damon said tracing his fingers through his black hair.
"Huh?" a question mark hovered above his head. "And that was?"
"The Diana we encountered this morning is not the real Diana" Damon's golden eyes gazed upon
Edmonds confused forest like eyes. Edmond scratched his chin with his index finger, still not
understanding what his best friend is trying to say to him.
"I don't get it"
Damon sighed in frustration, rubbing his eyes.
Suddenly the faint sound of dragons roaring angrily was heard, getting the attention of both the princes
in the office room.
"What was that?" Edmond turned his head to the direction of the arch window behind Damon.
"I don't know but the sounded like the dragon's coming from the barracks in the east" Damon said
squinting his eyes and glancing over the city not from the Palace of Aureum.
The dragons growls was immediately taken over by sudden roars of more dragons, yet this time it was
louder, and it sounded like it came from the palace dragon stables then the dragon barracks in the
dragon market.
"That doesn't sound good" Edmond gulped a mouthful of salvia.
"No it doesn't" Damon agreed. Instantly the thought of his dragon came rushing in.
'Dargan' immediately he jumped over his desk startling Edmond and ran towards the door.
"Damon what's wrong?" he called out. "Our dragons" Damon answered.
"Oh shit"
Now both rushing out the door and bolting through the hallway when they suddenly met the dragon
tamer, Eric. A middle-aged man, with slick brown hair styled back with the grand light armour of the
knights on him, rushing towards them, puffed out.
"Your highnesses, it's the dragons" he said under breathless voice.
"What happened? Is Dargan ok? How is Alyvia" both the princes said in a panic, regarding their titles of
princes.
Eric could only gaze at them in horror, sweat forming on his brow unable to speak.
"Speak Eric" Damon rose his voice already furious with the silent tamer. Eric flinched, opening his voice
with a tremble, and fiddling with his hands he answered "Y-your h-highness the dragons. They won't
respond"
A man sitting by his window with his back against the wall and his left leg arched and his feet against
brick wall, was a handsome red-haired man staring into the starry night sky as he twirled the silver
dagger around his fingers.
He enjoyed the peacefulness of the Kingdom of Ventus. His flaming red eyes glanced at every star in
the sky, admiring how beautiful they shone like diamonds in the dark ceiling of a cave.
His peaceful atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a swift spark in his heart making as if lightning
bolt struck his heart for a second. He jolted his head up in surprise and stopped the dagger in his
hands.
It was sort of the same spark when he commanded the dragons to do his bidding but this one felt
forced and dominating then the sparks he felt.
Lykos was in the state of wonder, with dozens of thoughts running through his head.
'Could that bastard father of mine done something?'
