What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

It didn’t take long for the dragon troops to assemble where we were. But it neither bothered Lucian nor did Draco care.

” I returned with the bloom of the Crystal Petal!”

I tried to answer their curious looks but it further muffled them.

” Crystal Petal? Are you saying it bloomed after million years? ”

Lucian asked.

” It blooms in a million years only if it seems the ruler fit to grant him his deepest desire… ” It was Master who came forward with the answer this time.

” My deepest desire? ”

Draco turned towards him, looking rather co fused.

It made Lucian smile. No, it was a scoff.

” Yeah, right! Kiara could never be the one you desired. You were dying for your human fling. Seems like the heavens made a great mistake. Or are you not the ruler in it’s eye. ”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Everybody gasped at what just left Lucian’s lips.

” Silence! Lucian , are you saying you had nothing to do with Draco’s human fling? ”

” You know about Liana? ” He asked me back, and it was clear how impossible he thought about that reality.

Right at that moment, Damian came running at me from nowhere.

” Mamma… Mamma… ” He literally crash landed upon me, ” Where did you go again without telling me? I was so scared. ”

He burried himself on my blossom as I smiled and patted him gently.

It was Draco who came to me with silent steps this time.

” Kiara… ” He said, his hand over my head, gently strocking my hair down, ” I am glad Damian finally found some solace. He was devastated after Liana was gone. Since you already know about her, I guess I do not need to tell you much about what we had. It is true that I loved her. It is true that she made me realise what it meant to care for someone being completely selfless. And honestly Kiara, she made me think of you. She made me realise, how ungrateful of a husband I was. How irresponsible of a father I had become to my only son.

I am and will be forever in debted to you for what you have done. I am sorry, I could never love you the away I loved Liana or the way you deserved but you always stood by me whenever I never your assistance. You were always a good friend… Perhaps in another world, another reality, we could have had a second chance at our love… But I have given Liana my all. Even though she is gone, I am unable to turn selfishly towards you and profess my undying love… My love is dead with her gone from this world… ”

Everybody heard what Draco said.

Everybody knew what he meant.

But only I knew what it actually meant for me and him. Our future.

” Mamma is not going anywhere Damian. I am right here. I will just finish something important here and then go with you and play. Alright? ”

I could see Draco watch me as I talked. I could see he was having that deja vu.

” Is there any problem? ” I teased him as he kept on watching, even after Damian was gone.

” No, nothing… It’s… It’s just that… ”

” It’s just the fact that how could I have the same bond with him as your dead mate… Right? ” It was another level of pleasure teasing Draco and watch him being helpless.

” No, it’s not what I meant… ”

He tried to protest but he realised that he just confessed with that.

” Well, there is a reason why Damian went straight to Liana after he vanished from the Dragon realm. Did none of you ever give it a thought? ”

There was a stir in the ranks of the dragons lined up in front. Everyone had that look of bewilderment and confusion, including Draco and Lucian.

” He went to Liana because his core drew him to her… The core that I had gifted him… The core of his mother… ”

They still looked at me with eyes wide open. None of them were able to fathom, what was really happening in my narration.

” Let me put this in simple words. Children are able to sense presence… They are able to recognise love and affection… My Damian was able to follow the trail of his mother. ”

It seemed like they all turned into statues when I said that . It was when Lucian finally stood up and walked upto me, that Draco stepped forward as well.

” You do not mean that you are… You and Liana… ”

He was having a hard time processing what he was saying.

” That is exactly what I mean Lucian… I was Liana… Liana was I. ”

It was as if they were engulfed by an unknown grip. Their jaws dropped open and they stumbled on their feet.

” I lost my core that night but the heavens saved the

last remnants of my soul. I got another miraculous chance at life. However I never knew who I was back then untill I was born again in this realm. ”

I walked towards Lucian, whose eyes were moist at this point. I could sense the stream of remorse, coursing through his vein.

” I must admit something Lucian. ” I said,

” No matter what you did, I choose to forgive you Lucian. Had it not been for your misdeeds, I would have never been able to experience what I did.

I would have never known what it felt like to be loved by the one you loved with all your heart had it not been for you Lucian. ”

Lucian seemed like I had pierced his heart with an iron bar. He flinched away from my grip in pain.

” No… ” he shoke his head with one fierce swing, ” No… No… ” he went again repeating the same thing till he turned away, stumbling and falling. He fell and he ran, he ran as if he was being chased by some invisible hands. He kept shoving the wind away around his body till he broke into a leap and transformed into his dragon.

The dragons turned to pursue his trail when Draco stopped them, raising his hands,

” Abort the mission! We do not need to hold him accountable anymore. Your Dragon Queen has forgiven him and the realisation that he just received is more of a lifetime of torture than any capital punishment that I could give. “
