Chapter117. Kiara’s POV- In front of them
I descended gracefully from the sky, my iridescent scales shimmering in the sunlight.
The air in the human world seemed exceptionally sweet as I breathed in a lot of it.
I could see them from a distance, tangled in a dead lock, each clawing the other as their blood dropped on the ground.
They had attracted a lot of human attention. I could see that from a distance. I knew Lucian never gave a f*ck about rules or consequences but Draco? He was supposed to be the Dragon king. How could he become so careless.
It was at this point that I saw them both freeze. They literally became statues , hovering in the air as their necks turned, in slow motion, towards my direction.
They sensed my presence, and confusion washed over their faces as they stared at me.
I could see the shock and disbelief etched upon their majestic features. Draco’s fiery eyes widened, while Lucian’s piercing gaze flickered with a mix of hope and uncertainty. Their bodies remained tense, locked in a position ready to claim each other’s lives, yet their focus shifted entirely upon me.
“Kiara? It can’t be… “.
It was Draco. I couldn’t believe how much of a relief it brought me to hear his again. His voice was my melody.
“This must be some kind of illusion, a trick of the mind. How can you stand before us . It’s your doing isn’t it? How can you stoop so low Draco? How can you use the image of your queen like this. ”
I had to roll my eyes as I heard these words tumble off Lucian’s lips. As expected of him. But Draco couldn’t be bothered by his accusations anymore. He shoved him away as he made his way towards me. One tiny step at a time as if afraid that I would vanish if he hastened his pace. Lucian understood that he had been talking nonsense.
I saw him stare at me. His eyes locked at my gaze. He didn’t had the courage to walk towards me. So I took that initiative.
My heart ached as I watched them, torn between happiness and sorrow. The conflicting emotions danced across their faces, like flickering flames caught in an unending battle.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
” Can you still not believe that it’s me? ”
I asked grabbing Draco’s hand and placing it on my cheeks.
Draco’s eyes glistened with a mixture of hope and disbelief, his voice wavering with emotions he struggled to comprehend.
“Kiara… I can’t believe my eyes. You’re here, alive. How is this possible? I can feel the warm blood running in your veins, this is no illusion. But, how? ”
Lucian came to the other side and took my other hand.
His gaze flickered between joy and pain, his voice laced with a bittersweet tremor.
” I thought I had mourned you enough. To see you standing before me… it stirs emotions I thought was long buried.”
His hands were unsteady against mine.
I saw the realisation of my return sink deeper into their consciousness, their emotions swinging like a pendulum, happiness giving way to sadness, only to be followed by a surge of hope once again. Confusion drawing lines upon their brows, as they struggled to process the tumultuous array of feelings pumping through their veins.
” Is this a temporary reunion? ”
It was Draco who finally asked.
” Shut your darkness out of this Draco before I break your jaw and fangs! ” Lucian didn’t seem to restrain, ” I will turn the world upside down than let Kiara go anywhere again. ” He grabbed my hand harder and tighter and then grabbed my face to turn towards him,
” You are here to stay. Is that clear. ” He ordered with such innocence that he made me chuckle. It reminded me of the days we spent at our training, together, with no bitterness.
But today was different.
I yanked my hand away from his grip.
” I am here to stay Lucian, do not worry about that. There is a lot that needs to be addressed but before everything, you both need to fix the mess that you created. ”
I pointed at the surging crowd of humans who were growing uncontrollably.
Their minds needed to be dealy with and so needed their device. They were all busy documenting what they were witnessing and that would be the end of dragons’ privacy.
I, of all dragons, knew very well how much the human race had advanced and what they were capable of. We couldn’t risk exposing ourselves like this.
” Lend me your strengths. Help me fix this before it gets out of hand. ”
I commanded as the boys came promptly beside me.
We landed gracefully on the charred earth, our immense forms dwarfing the humans who stood before us. The air crackled with residual energy, carrying remnants of the awe-inspiring spectacle they had witnessed. It was crucial to act swiftly and erase their memories, leaving no trace of our existence behind.
I watched, Draco’s eyes gleam as he addressed the humans. “Fear not, mortals. We shall remove the memory of this encounter from your minds, ensuring the secrets of our realm remain hidden.”
Lucian was shimmering, reflecting the light from the sky. “Indeed. Let us extend our magic to cleanse not only your memories but also any recordings you may have made.” He winked as mischievously as ever.
I stepped forward, my wings spreading wide as I addressed the group directly. “Close your eyes and clear your thoughts. Focus on a calm and tranquil place. We shall weave a spell of forgetfulness to protect the secrets you were never meant to discover. This is for your own safety.” I tried assuring them.
The humans complied easily, their expressions a mix of curiosity , fear and apprehension. They closed their eyes, placing their trust in our mystical powers even though we were creatures of the unknown. I wondered if some of them were cheating but it didn’t matter. Closing the eyes was part of the process, it was just a way to get them ready for the spell.
Draco, Lucian, and I extended our necks, allowing our mystic energies to intertwine in a mesmerizing display as one. Arcane light enveloped us, casting an ethereal glow upon the humans and their devices.
I channeled my inner magic, feeling its essence flow through me like a gentle breeze after ages. My voice resonated, infused with both determination and compassion. “Let the memories that burden your minds be lifted, like feathers carried away by the wind. Release your grasp on the visions you witnessed today.”
Draco’s voice joined mine, resonating with the power of his fiery spirit. “The recollections that burden your hearts shall dissolve, leaving only whispers of dreams and fantasies.”
Lucian’s words danced , his voice echoing through the realm. “As the tapestry of your memories unravels, let illusions weave themselves anew, erasing all traces of our existence from your thoughts.”
We extended our magic further, embracing the human devices that had captured glimpses of our true forms. We wove intricate spells, tendrils of energy seeping into the devices, purging their records with a flicker of ethereal light.
Time seemed to stand still as our enchantment took hold. A shimmering aura surrounded the humans and their devices, encapsulating them in a cocoon of magical energy. Whispers of incantations filled the air, blending with the faint hum of power.
The memories of the encounter began to fade, slipping away like elusive dreams. Fragments of images and sensations dissolved into the ether, leaving behind only vague impressions and a sense of wonder.
A serene calm settled upon the humans as the enchantment reached its climax. Their eyes fluttered open, confusion and bewilderment etched on their faces. They looked at one another, their brows furrowing as they tried to recall what had transpired, but the memories remained just beyond their reach.
With a final surge of energy, we completed the enchantment, severing their ties to the extraordinary event they had witnessed. The humans exchanged puzzled glances, their minds freed from the burden of knowing our world.
We regarded them, satisfied with our work, as they slowly dispersed, their attention redirected to the mundane tasks of their lives. Our secret was safe once more, veiled in the mists of forgetfulness.
As Draco, Lucian, and I faded into the shadows, our forms blending seamlessly with the realm, we left behind a world untouched by our existence.
