Chapter51. Draco’s POV ( Feels good to be back)
That rush was real.
I felt it well.
That influx of high volt electric pulses in all my veins. They pumped up changing the very composition of my body.
It felt great to be back to my own element.
If I would have ever prayed, it would have been at that moment. To save my son. And also the person sitting beside.
The first step, was to stop time. I did that the moment I opened my eyes.
I bent over to pick her up. I thought she was frozen like everything around as well.
But she squirmed.
” Ouch, Draco! I get up by myself. You are pressing the glass shards further inside my body! ”
I was literally too stunned to speak. A human was defying my control, my ability.
” Let’s go. Hurry! ”
She looked like a porcupine with glass pieces sticking out from everywhere. But she grabbed my hand. The world frozen around her did matter to her as well.
” Draco, Damian… ”
Right.
I held her and we went straight to her mother’s place.
It was pitch black.
Even my eyes fought and strained.
This was no ordinary darkness.
It was brought here from my kingdom.
And inevitably the one behind this was the culprit from my realm.
” Liana, where was Damian when your mother was speaking? ”
” In my old bedroom… ”
I needed to hear no more. I could already smell the scent. There was a Dragon inside the premises. But the scent was muddled with something. Potion perhaps. I could not however smell Damian.
Just then a window cracked somewhere upstairs.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I leaped behind it, bursting my Dragon wings open.
Smack!
A blow midair sent the traitor reeling on the ground.
That was when his hood fell behind him and I saw his face.
” Marcus? ”
Treachery always came from the most unexpected places.
” It was you? ”
Liana came rushing out in the lawn as well.
Marcus started laughing.
” Where is my son? ”
I landed right over his testicles.
He coughed in pain.
Then started laughing hysterically again.
” Marcus, I know you are the good guy. I don’t know what’s forcing you to do this, but please Marcus, don’t drag Damian into all this. He is just a child. Tell me where he is? ”
Liana loved attracting danger. She had no hesitation walking right upto that killer and cupping his face.
” Get your dirty hands off me b*tch! ”
” Liana, move! ”
He was about to throw his fire at her. But I managed to drag her nosey ass out.
“You stay out of this Liana. This one is too dangerous. Go look for Damian around your place! ”
It was a trick. Just to get her out of his range.
” Do you think that will help? You will never find your precious trophy Draco. That trophy your wife saved with her dying breath. ”
He was asking for it. My knuckles smashed against his skull. His body made a dent in the ground.
That bastard had the audacity to growl. He started turning into his Dragon form.
Things just got more exciting down here. I waited to let him turn. It would be a pleasure ripping his scales one by one. Then pulling his tongue out and tie it up in a knot.
But then there was Liana. She had to still linger around .
” Liana, Noooo! Turn around. Don’t watch! ”
that stupid girl was staring into his dragon core as it burst into the Dragon Flame transforming himself.
Marcus took good advantage of my distraction. He tried attacking me with his Scale Arrows.
That moroon was taking my leniency too wrong.
I pushed Liana out of the way and grabbed him by his tail.
It was time to grace the earth with my devine Dragon presence.
I burst into my Dragon beast and pierced through his scales with my teeth. The wound was directly beside it core. It made him wither in pain but it wasn’t going to kill him.
I grabbed him by his right wing and ripped it off.
The sky grumbled and roared.
His yell was shaking the feeble planet.
I did not hesitate to splinter his other wing with my Dragon Roar as well.
He fell on the ground with a gigantic thud that sent a tsunami of dust and rubble flying all over the ground. It looked like the place was hit by a meteorite. The earth shook with the intensity of a dragon being smashed to the ground.
” Tell me where Damian is. May be I will spare your sorry life if you are quick. I swear you will be begging me to kill you if my son gets even a scratch. ”
My feet was grinding his chest.
Yet he smiled.
” You will not get your ways all the time you know! ”
I spied a smirk.
Before I understood what he was trying to do, he drew his last Fire Breath and shot it straight at Liana’s direction.
” You will lose all you have even if it means I will not be living to witness your demise. ”
With that he clawed himself at his chest.
His Dragon Core dropped . Tumbling over and over again till it disappeared in the air.
” No…! ”
I tried desperate grabbing it before it faded. But Marcus laughed against, for the last time, looking at me, as his body froze solid.
” No!!! ”
I kicked it hard as it scattered into a thousand pieces.
I felt like I was about to cry in dejection. What a stupid and horrible feeling.
” Draco, what do we do? How will we find Damian? ”
Liana came running to my side. Apparently she had been able to dodge the Fire Breath effectively.
I had no answer. Marcus sure had help. He was not the only one behind all these games. The root ran deep. Deeper tha one could think.
The only person he had devoted his life to was my Master.
I could not bring myself to believe, in fact I refused to belive that my one and only guide, philosopher, my teacher could be the Mastermind.
