What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga

Liana and Draco looked like a happy average couple with a bubbly toddler, Damian. They had settled into a comfortable routine of everyday activities, which although monotonous, brought them joy and happiness. Here's a peek into their everyday life:

At around 6:00 AM everyday,the day began early for Liana and Draco. They are almost always woken up by the sound of Damian, who is already up and raring to go. Not that Draco would be technically 'sleeping'. But he had to pretend to be his best.

They, without fail, begin their day by cuddling with Damian and playing with him for a few minutes.

At around 6:30 AM, after some playtime, Liana and Draco start preparing breakfast. Liana makes a pot of coffee while Draco cooks up some scrambled eggs and toast. Damian helps out by fetching ingredients and utensils from the cabinets. The tiny family of three, gather around the small dining table and enjoy their breakfast together, chatting about the day ahead. Damian always tries to join in the conversation by babbling away in his toddler language.

He loves making those nonsense human noises to make Liana smile. He knows that's the best he could do. He knew his mother would not be impressed at the moment with his superpower tricks.

After breakfast, Liana gets Damian dressed for daycare while Draco packs his diaper bag. They all hop into the car and drop Damian off at daycare.

Another beautiful drama, staged perfectly by Draco, Damian and their accomplished Mystic Joe.

He happens to be the so-called 'chauffeur' who accompanies Damian to his so-called ' daycare. '

Liana was not an easy person to fool. She always questioned something or the other but somehow this part of the entire show was believable. Atleast to her.

At about nine, Liana and Draco head to their respective workplaces. They spend the day working on their projects, attending meetings, and catching up with colleagues.

In Liana's case, that being her Alternative medicine internship. As for Draco, that's another story.

He used to go back to Mystic Joe and hang around, talking about the Ivory Blade, Hounds and other dragon related things. But gradually Draco found that things in the human world were not free. He hated asking Liana or Mystic Joe for things.

So he decided to start 'looking' for a job in the meantime.

And legend has it that he is still looking. He goes about driving in her car all day, finally returning with nothing but a smile.

The workday ends at around five in the evening for Liana and Draco always picks her up. They head back home, and Liana starts preparing dinner while Draco entertains Damian.

They praise each other in whispers as to how great they did. They pat each other for successfully spending another day, without any problem, in the mortal world In the meantime, they would hear Liana yell at them, even when they would be sitting right in front of her eyesight, " DINNER IS READY! Who is hungry? Who wants some food in their tummy? Where are my babies?"

Draco would have died off the notion of being called a baby under normal circumstances or he would definitely have killed the person many times. But this was Liana who was calling him that. The Liana he was putting so much effort into, for her betterment.

Besides he didn't think Damian would give him any other option but to smile at being babied by Liana.

When dinner is served, the family would sit down to eat.

Damian always got his favorite meal - spaghetti and meatballs, which he loved to slurp up messily.

And Draco got his hair shuffled for being a cute dad.

After dinner, Liana and Draco take turns giving Damian a bath. They sing nursery rhymes and make bubble beards in the bath.

When Damian is tucked into bed, Liana and Draco spend some time catching up on their day. They talk about work, their plans for the weekend, and sometimes even reminisce about old memories.

Which is mostly made up by Draco and fondled by Liana. He makes up stuff from the past.

Daya that he spent with Kiara. He smashed them with a human context and presented it to Liana on a golden platter. She closed her eyes, held his hands and tried to see the things that never were with the eyes of her imagination. It works. It works just fine like real magic.

The strings of image chain up one evening after another till they form a completely fake life in Liana's head.

A life that she never had. A life that she had no idea about, she was borrowing from Kiara, just like her husband and son.

Slowly but steadily, she was starting to even lose her own self as the images Draco was creating was making her feel more and more like Kiara, the Dragon Queen.

When the event turned to night, Liana and Draco retired to bed, exhausted but content after a long day. They cuddle up together and watch their favorite TV show or read a book before drifting off to sleep.

That is, Liana does and Draco stays beside her, staring.

He would often move the fallen eyelashes from her cheek or laugh, watching her drooling. He would wonder about what she was dreaming when she smiled or when she looked scared.

The doctors had specifically instructed them to stay out of any kind of intimate relationship for the time being, so the s*x part of their fake marriage was not yet a factor to consider.

This routine may seem monotonous, but Liana and Draco found joy in their everyday activities. They cherished the time they spent together as a family, and their love for each other and Damian only grew stronger with each passing day. And that was a problem.

That was definitely not how it was supposed to happen.

They were not any average family and they could not share their average luxury.
