Chapter 33 - Draco's POV
Had I not taken my precaution, this would have been the sure end of myself.
Darn it!
I was so close to getting to the bottom of this.
Ivory Dagger.
I wasn't expecting it. That was what took me off guard.
It was only because of her presence that I was still moving.
Liana. A Selected One in my possession. I was able to disappear in spite of being stabbed by the Ivory Dagger, only because of her presence. She was the only one I could think of at the moment.
It took all my strengths to appear right inside my harem.
" Draco! "
I heard her gasping. Her footsteps made it evident that she ran towards me. Her hands grabbed my body, before it fell, with full force over her.
I could feel her delicate frame get crushed under my weight. But she didn't make a single sound.
She pulled her hand out from my weight and brought it in front of her face.
"Blood! "
The single syllabus from her mouth made the word seem as heavy as a mountain.
Then she jerked me back.
"Draco! You are bleeding.
Draco! Draco!"
I could feel my eyes giving away. I was on the brink of losing my consciousness. It was a dangerous situation. "Liana! "
I barely managed to whisper her name.
"Yes. Yes. I am right here. Right here. Tell me."
She eagerly gave me her arms for support and her ears.
"Where is Damian? "
my whisper was at that moment, barely audible.
"Damian? He is sleeping. I tucked him in his bed myself.
Why? Why do you ask? Shouldn't I call someone to help take you to the Royal Infirmary?"
She answered and then asked.
"No. No.
Nobody should know about this.
Run and bring Damian here. We will leave straight for your world. "
I grabbed the nearest pillar. I wasn't sure if I could survive after all.
"My world? Draco, you are hurt. I think your world has the best of medicines. They are each almost a miracle. Let's get you treated first. We can go after that. Alright?"
"JUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD! "
I didn't know I had the strength to bark. But I did. If anything was to happen to me, it was not going to happen in such humiliation.
I was going to make sure they didn't get what they were waiting for.
I saw her run at that command. It didn't take her long to return with Damian in her arms.
I stood up with my remaining strength. Then stood up. Grabbed her hands.
The moment my feet stepped on the cold hard floor of her house, I felt the colors in front of my eyes completely darken. I had completely blacked out. "Draco... Draco....
"
I could hear the ring of her voice. It slowly faded into oblivion.
The darkness around me intensified. I found myself in the middle of nowhere. Neither air nor ground. Neither the land nor the ocean. It was literally nowhere. "Hey...."
My voice echoed through the nothingness.

"Hey... Hey..."
I tried searching for something. I didn't know what. Maybe a light. A landmark. Something.
But all I got was my echo, mocking me in my loneliness.
I ventured to step a foot forward. It dipped. It dipped in something. Liquid?
No. Liquid didn't bounce back. I retracted my step.
This was the first time ever in my life that I was feeling so worthless. Helpless. And that feeling was killing me more from the inside.
" Draco...."
Suddenly a voice tore through the darkness. I turned my head swiftly in that direction.
"Draco.......

It came again. This time from a different side.
I flipped my whole body with so much force that I almost swung.
"Draco..... Draco.... Can you hear me? Draco?
This time I spied a faint opening in that dark, god forsaken site. A little glimmer of white light.
"Draco.... "
I was now sure the voice came from that direction.
"Draco... Try to open your eyes if you can hear me."
It was Liana. Calling me back to my senses.
As soon as I realized, my eyes shot open.
I found that I was lying on her bed. In her house. In her room.
The dagger wound on my chest was cleaned and bandaged.
I looked over at myself. I was in the clothes the humans wore. I looked around. Liana was bent over my face.
"Thank goodness you came around.
If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! You almost scared me Draco!"
Then without giving me any more room to react, she hugged me in her tight embrace.
"Thank goodness Draco. I was so scared. You had been out for three days.
I thought I was going to lose you. Today your vitals started dropping at an alarming pace. I was so lost. I didn't know what to expect. "
Her lips planted a quick kiss on my forehead.
"Three days..."
I wondered aloud. Calculating its equivalent in our Dragon Realm.
But she wasn't listening.
"Damian... Damian... " she was yelling on top of her voice. I was about to roll my eyes when I suddenly saw a tiny face, floating in our direction. "Isn't it cool!" Liana chirped like a proud hen.
"Damian learnt to fly. All by himself over just the last three days. I had been so worried for you. But he didn't fail to cheer me up. She turned towards Damian.
"Come on Damian. Look how Dada has woken up now!Come on. Come on my good boy"
She was calling him like a little puppy. I watched her with disgust, then turned towards Damian to see how his wings had flared.

That boy. He had some real temper issues. He was frowning at me. When I frowned back, he had the audacity to make a face at me, turn his back and run away. "Damian... "
Liana stood up. Shocked. She apparently had not seen what had happened between the two of us. "Damian. Wait. Come back.
Damian..."
She looked apologetically at me. Then ran after my little devil.
"Damian, come back here. That's so rude Damian. How can you be like that in front of your father?"
