What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

PERVERTED DRAGONS.

Were all dragons like that? Even though I did find myself crushing over Lucian, his advances were a huge turn off.

But what was all the commotion outside?

This noise. Did it sound familiar? Or was it a mistake?

I was all alone. Sitting on the soft bedding over the wooden plank. Ichiona and Lucian were outside, along with a few other dragons.

I sat swinging my feet. When suddenly I felt a tap on my back.

DRACO!

I smiled as I stood up. Was I glad to have seen him?

” Is this all your doing? ”

He abruptly asked.

“Me? What? I don’t even know what you are accusing me of? ”

I should have gotten used to being treated in this way by him. But I clearly wasn’t.

” The spirit charmers ringing. ”

He pointed at the sounds that echoed outside.

” Do you mean I have a super power of any kind? ”

I lifted up my hands and twirled around trying to see if I too was growing some wings. Did I really develop any super power in these lands? Like they did in vampire flicks when they turned vampire. Was I turning into a dragon in the dragon lands? I was feeling so excited.

” See. Now listen! ”

Draco pointed with his hands cupped behind his ears.

He was asking me to listen.

The rhythm of the spirit charmers had changed all of a sudden.

” It’s you. For sure. Now make it stop. ”

His eyes glowed.

The spiralling reptile inside those pupils crawled.

Was this another command.

” You are asking me to do something I don’t even know what it is… ”

” MAKE IT STOP LIANA!

It’s causing unnecessary speculations outside. ”

I could see white fumes building around him.

I panicked.

And so did the sound outside. It became more chaotic.

Ah! DAMN IT.

Was it really me? How was I supposed to stop a ringing bell when I didn’t even know how I got it started.

” STOP IT LIANA! OR I WILL. ”

His step towards me made me gulp. Was he going to kill me this time?

I closed my eyes as he grabbed me by my hair.

And then his lips were over mine.

My eyes shoot open.

A kiss.

My first kiss.

Stolen by this filthy dragon.

My entire body wanted to push him away. But something inside me just couldn’t.

I closed my eyes again as I felt him pull my head closer with both his hands.

In the background, the sound slowly diminished.

And so did the different musics in my head. There was peace and tranquility.

Total silence, as can be rightly coined.

” Nicely done. ”

He pulled my head back. Examining me with his eyes as if I was a freshly picked up chicken.

” Don’t you dare cause anymore chaos. ”

He warned me and was about to leave.

I followed him to protest about something but when he instantly turned around, my being just froze. Froze exactly in the position I was advancing.

Right hand and leg advancing but paused mid air.

He looked at me head to toe.

It wasn’t like he did something new.

But his eyes were sparkling. Was he amused?

” Did you want to say anything? ”

He asked?

” Umm… me? No. Nothing. ”

Truth be told, I had already forgotten why I followed.

” Anyways. I will come to fetch you in the evening. Ask Ichiona to help you make yourself presentable. ”

he advanced at me again.

My heart was beating at my throat.

Was he going to do it again?

He brought his lips close to my face but went left to reach my ears.

” By the way, don’t tell anybody else that I was here. Don’t even tell them that it was you who was ringing the spirit chamer bells. Not yet. Alright? ”

I nodded immediately like an obedient dog.

He grabbed my hip to steady my wobbling self.

I put both my foot and hand finally down, as if out from his spell.

He vanished right after but his smirk lingered in my mind.

” Was anybody here my lady? ”

Ichiona came in and asked.

I vigorously shook my head as if to even convince myself.

” Then are you not feeling well? Why do you look so flushed? ”

Was I?

” Umm, Ichiona is the chaos over outside? ”

” Yeah! Seems like it temporarily. ”

she looked uncomfortable answering the question.

” Umm, then could you help me get ready? Like you were saying. I should look presentable for tonight. ”

I don’t know why I smiled like an idiot when I said that.

” Yes, my lady. ”

Ichiona bowed and headed inside.

Somehow she looked dejected since the bells rang for the second time.

Her attitude towards me also looked changed.

” This way, ” she called me. We went inside a dragon’s Hamaam.

It was a huge bath. The water covered with scented mists.

” I diffused the elements to suit human skins. You can soak yourself without any hesitation. ”

Ichiona locked the door behind me.

” Let me know my lady when you are done. ”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I took a deep breath.

Let the silk slip from my flesh and stepped one foot at a time in the welcoming liquid.

Every drop that touched, sent a satisfying chill.

Was it because I was getting in the water after so long or was the water in this world also different?

It didn’t bother me anymore as it almost pulled my tired body in it, enveloping me from all sides.

It did not choke. Nor did it sink. Neither did it feel like it had any weight.

I let myself loose in its tempered waves.

The mist and the scents circulated in places around my body where it ached.

” Ahhhhhhhhh! It feels so good. ”

A contentment left involuntarily from my mouth.

I spread myself further like a distorted ‘X’, and let my senses relax.
