What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga

"Hello, brother! I thought you would be drowning in your tears of regret by now, but no. I find that you are in fact enjoying your time here. How romantic. A broken heart, reigniting your old passion. "

It was Lucian. He had just dropped in through the windows.

Draco looked up at him.

"I thought you would never show up. But finally you did."

Draco remarked, seemingly unbothered by his taunts and kept going with his carving works.

"What are you making?"

Lucian suddenly snacked the marble up in his hand. Draco knew Lucian was definitely in a mood to pick a fight but he wasn't feeling like giving that to him.

"Is this supposed to be your consolation prize Dragon Lord? A Liana made of stone? Are you satisfied with that?"

Draco leaned forward to take his unfinished work back from Lucian but he swished it out of his reach.

"You must be Draco. You must be... But I am not. "

Lucian came dangerously close to Draco's face," You know I loved her as well. Don't tell me you didn't know. You did the same with Kiara back then. And now Liana is also gone." Lucian never owned up to his feelings before in front of Draco but Draco was not naive to have not sensed that.

Draco remained silent. Then after a few moments where only the sound of their beating hearts were audible, Draco spoke.

"You know what she meant to me, Lucian. You know that I would do anything I could if it meant she would come back. Even if I kill that m*th** Nemesis, it would do Liana no good." He rammed both his hands on the table so hard and it cracked instantly.

"She is gone, Lucian. And we will have you find ways to live with that."

Lucian took a deep breath.

"You know I am not at all like you. I am not going to make the same mistake that I did with Kiara. I am not going to give up. I am not going to stop till I find a way to bring Liana back, even if it means that it's my life that I need to give up. With that Lucian stormed out of the same window that he had come in from.

Draco watched him go in silence.

Then he nodded to himself, " Even I would do the same for Lucian. I swear I would do the same, if only Liana could come back."

...

Lucian smiled as his sharp ears caught Draco's confessions.

He was waiting, just for that confirmation.

He went straight towards the cave where Nemesis was.

Nemesis was fast asleep when Lucian arrived. He stirred in his sleep as Lucian killed him, " You little... How dare you sleep while I do everything. Do you think I am your labor?"

Nemesis hurriedly sat up and cleaned his face. He looked up at Lucian, rubbing his eyes, "I am half dragon, Lucian, but I am also half human. I need to sleep. Besides, I didn't have anything to eat. My body is not perfectly functioning." Lucian threw something at him.

Nemesis lifted his head up to see an apple rolling over towards him. He picked it up and took a big bite. He was in the middle of chewing it when he suddenly stopped and looked at Lucian's face, who was smiling. "Did you... Did you poison this?"

He was almost choking on the fruit as he vigorously shook it at Lucian.

"Finish eating that you little coward. Why would I need to poison you when I can rip your throat off with one finger...

His claw was pointing right at Nemesis's jugular vein.

"Okay. Okay. I understand. Thank you for feeding me." He immediately lifted his hands up in a gesture of surrender. "So, where have you gone? Did you find a way out to persuade that Dragon Lord?"

Nemesis asked, chewing the apple.

Lucian rolled the Forbidden Pearl out from his pocket as it rolled towards Nemesis, just like the apple had done.
