What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga

She was just a pawn, another of my means to get to what I covet.

"The next time you decide to disregard my command, make sure to never come back. Because next time I will surely kill you with my own hands if you don't die." This was to strike a sense of fear. Submission. Obedience.

Yet she smiled back. Like a fool. It seemed like she was enjoying a scolding.

"I knew you would not abandon me like this. Anyway, What is this place?"

she asked as if I owed her any explanation.

Nevertheless I obliged. She had proven and was supposed to be more useful.

"It's the resting place of Scattered Souls. A dangerous but important station." "Ohhhhhhh!"

she nodded her head with a big, open mouth.

"But what is this place?" she repeated herself like an idiot.

"I just told you."

"I got that. What I am asking is what is its use. Like why are we here? What purpose is that serving?"

"Liana, Duck. "

I pulled her babbling mouth, by holding down her neck.

A series of Beast venom, missed us by a hair.

"Where... what!!!"

The human still kept on with her gibberish.

But I had no time for that. I got the thing I came here for. Now I needed to get us both back.

The venom was sprayed again. I covered her with my Dragon wings and rolled ourselves to the edge.

I could not transform here. Neither would it be possible to escape with my blades.

I looked here and there. There were a few boulders. We could use those as a step. Atleast to get a little higher. A place suitable for my transformation.

"Liana, quick. Help me stack these. Somewhat like stairs. "

She nodded. I found her reactions most mature whenever there was any problem or unrest. Normally she would have given me some foolish expression, I am sure. But right now, she sprang like a dart. Ready for action. "Here, Draco. "

she motioned as I followed her cue.

I kept throwing those at her from different angles, ducking and dodging the venom assault in the process.

" Nearly done."

she stood with her hands over her hips. Smiling and admiring her efforts. It was the last piece of boulder that was there. I was about to roll my way back so we could leap out of there.

Just at that moment the direction of the assault changed.

It was directed at the human now, who was standing in oblivion.

"LIANA, MOVE.!"

I yelled but the idiot turned towards me instead of moving away.

There was no other option left.

There was no way she could survive it even if a drop touched her dress.

I flared the beast in me.

I should not have. But I had to.

The blinding light tore through the darkness as the incredible power took over my soul. It roared and growled as it unearthed, shedding my skin and flesh for its magnificent talons and scales.

I could feel its discomfort though. And also feel its confinement. I felt it's grudge towards me for my stupidity. I had never let my beast suffer so before.

I was fuming inside for my recklessness for a mere human. Even more frustrating because I could not let her go. Not yet. Not at the moment.

"Draco... Draco... Dra..."

She had one hand covering her eyes and searched in front with the other. The light of my transformation was too much for even dragons. It would be amazing if she could at least regain her sight. Her hands stopped searching as soon as it touched the spines on my tail.

She immediately retracted. She must have thought I was the opponent.

But I had no time for any explanation. I had to get out of here.

I snatched her little structure in my hands, and leaped my way out. The stairs that she so meticulously had set up, crumbled like dominos on the ground.

Alas! Just as I had thought, my wings got stuck. It was even getting scratched.

The walls of this place had the potential to turn violent if something disturbed or threatened its residents.

My beast's presence had done just that. It was trying to melt the scales on my trapped wings. I had to let go of this human if I wanted to get out of the situation.

But if I did, she was sure to die. Had she been a dragon, I could have used my telepathy to communicate with her. But how could I explain a human to hold onto myself, while I was in my dragon state. "DRACO... HELP. "

Just then she yelled and grabbed tightly onto my under belly herself.

The place was reverberating. Shaking tremendously. Like in an earthquake.

Was I able to get to her? Could I communicate? My amusement was getting the better of me. Phew! But I had a better job at hand.

"Hold on.!"

I roared as I lowered my wings and crawled out of there on all fours.

Fifteen... fourteen.... thirteen...

... three, two and one. We are finally out and into the open.

I threw her over on the other side and changed quickly back to normal.

The intensity of the poison had crept into my flesh. I had blisters all over my body. It was clear I had used my body as her shield.

It was ridiculous. Totally absurd. I, the Mighty Dragon Lord, had just now jeopardized my own life, for a mere human. This could not possibly be known. It would inevitably make me into a laughing stock.

It was what I had to do. This human was more useful to me at the moment than my other dragon officials. This too couldn't be known.

"Draco? Draco...."

Her eyes were open. She was up. She was able to see properly. Yet another miracle achieved by this idiot.

"Draco?..."

She got up and ran towards me. I was still lying on the ground. Not exhausted. Simply pondering.

"Draco you are hurt."

The idiot sat beside me, her hands outstretched but she dared not to touch. She was bleeding. That leaking head of her's was again at work. What was wrong with this human? Could she not feel her own pain? Her own suffering?"
