What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

Liana opened her eyes with the loud ringing of her phone.

” Hello! Yes! Yes Mystic Joe… right now? At your place? ”

She looked out of the window. It was still dark outside. Draco was sitting like a statue at the side of her feet.

“Oh My Gosh Draco! You scared me! ”

Liana almost yelled, ” Oh No, Mr. Joe! Not you! I was talking to Draco!

Yeah! He is right here! You want to talk? … Okay. Okay. I understand… Really? He is here? Okay, Okay we will be right there! ”

Liana did not notice how cozily tucked she was in the bed. It seemed she had completely forgotten about what had happened.

” Draco! Good news! That guy Joe got that Master or whatever of his who actually talks with Dragons. He sometimes gets possessed by one or something like that! Anyways, they are at Joe’s place and we need to get there. Come on. Hurry up! ”

Liana grabbed Draco’s hands which were folded in front of his chest. He was lost in his own thoughts and gave Liana a strange look at soon as she touched his skin.

” What did you say? Possessed by a Dragon? ” His voice was fierce with unbelief.

” Do you think we are ghosts? ”

” Ahhhh! Don’t take it personally. I might have misunderstood what he said. Let’s hurry up and go see what this teacher of his has to offer? Or are you not eager to go back to your kingdom? May be you got to used to my world! ”

Liana tried teasing him but instead he pulled her and she fell on his lap.

Draco bit his lips.

” Never dare to say that again! I am the Dragon Lord. This world is too small and… ”

It seemed like he was uncomfortable uttering the next word.

” Go ahead! Say it! Pathetic, worthless, blah! blah! I know! ” Liana stood up and straightened herself.

” I know all of that my Lord. That’s why we should hurry up so you could get back. Now, may we? ”

Within a few moments they were headed towards Mystic’s Joe’s Place but did not speak another word on the road.

” Come in. Come in. Sorry, I called you so late in the night.

We just came home and he said he could feel the presence of a great Dragon. He asked me to call you right away! ”

Joe opened the door before Liana could press the door bell.

He showed them inside and then bolted all the locks.

Draco eyed him once but then they went inside the room where Joe’s teacher was.

The man was behind a translucent curtain.

” My Lord! Is that you! ”

He stood up and fell in prostration at Draco’s feet as soon as saw them.

Mystic Joe and Liana watched the scene unfold, amazed.

” What are you? ” Draco asked the man still flattened in prostration at his feet.

” My Lord. My Lord! I would not dare! This is just a mere human. He traded his soul with me for a Dragon Eye! I cannot help but enter his consciousness from time to time. Please my Lord. Please don’t hold it against me.

I live in the outskirts. It’s difficult there making a living! ”

” You FOOL! ”

Draco literally kicked him hard as he went back on his all fours!

” How could you deal with the humans outside the Royal Court! Do you not know that it is illegal! ”

Mystic Joe watched with his hands shaking. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets with the amount of awe he withheld there.

” So he really is a Dragon! Not any dragon! The Dragon Lord! ”

Joe grabbed Liana’s hand in his excitement.

” Get off me! Psst! ”

” Thank you! ” Joe was crying.

” What the …! Are you crying? ”

” Thank you so much Liana! You helped me fulfill my life’s mission. You helped me find the meaning I was looking for all these while. ”

The man was still cowering in fear as Draco walked towards him.

” Tell me, do you know anything about the Ivory Blade! ”

The man finally looked up.

It made Liana and Joe step back. Scared.

They had every reason to.

He had a normal human face but his eyes were huge and reptilian. The man always used to be in isolation whenever he experienced these pangs of ‘ possessions’. But seeing Draco in front of him was too much. He had lost his senses.

” Ivory Blade my Lord? Yes! Yes! I heard about that! ”

” Good! Then get me all the possible remedies to recover from its attack. Get them to me quick. But make sure to keep it shush! Not a single soul should know about it. If you can do that, I might as well pardon you when I get back! ”

” Hail to the Dragon Lord! Long live the Dragon Lord! I will! I will do that immediately. And not even my left hand will know about it! ”

The man sat , looking straight up.

His mouth opened, eyes rolled back. He arched back like his soul was being ripped from his chest.

Then then next moment he was back.

This time with a human eyes on his human face.

” So, I was correct in gauging your presence. You indeed are a great Dragon. My greeting, to the Dragon Lord! ”

The man stood up and bowed.

Draco did not respond this time. He looked annoyed

” My Lord, if I may, it seems like you are the one suffering from the effects of the Ivory Blade. Why not return to your own kingdom my Lord, in this state. Why ask a lowly dragon like my partner for help? ”

” None of your business human! ”

Draco turned towards Liana and said, ” Let’s go back! ”

” My Lord, wait! I did come across this mythical blade a couple of times all these years during my research. Not a single survivor or survival possibility was suggested.

but, I did come across an engraved riddle. ”

This made Draco stop. Then turn.

The man smiled at his achievement.

” The riddle went like- ‘blood of the one who willingly sacrificed herself’… I have been trying to understand what it meant but… ”

Before he could finish what he was saying , he was attacked.

He was held up by his collar.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

It was not Draco. It was Liana this time.

” Where did you read that? Answer me! ”

She was holding the bulky man up in the air. Her grip was so strong, he was dangling and gasping for air!
