What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

I, Nemesis, half-dragon, half-human was, at the moment slouching low. Very very low. My bloodline was cursed, a source of shame for my mother and me. But my guilt weighed heavier than any curse. I killed the Dragon Lord’s mate, by mistake. She was human, and taking human life is forbidden for me by the Divine law.

I have taken refuge in a place that lies between the human and dragon world. It is a desolate land, where nothing grows, and the only sound is that of my breath. I am scared, not of Draco, but of the Divine law that will hunt me down, no matter where I hide.

“Why did I do it?” I asked myself, knowing the answer but still seeking some solace. “It was an accident. I didn’t mean to hurt her.” But my excuses ring hollow, even in my own ears. The fact remained that I took a life that was not mine to take. My target had been the Dragon Lord. It was my vengeance. For my mother. Against all Dragon race. But why did the human have to interfere? Besides, was it possible for the Ivory Blade to even strike a human?

It wasn’t supposed to but it did. She definitely was dead.

The weight of my guilt was crushing. I felt as though a heavy stone had lodged itself in my chest, making it hard to breathe.

“What will happen to me?” I wondered, my voice hoarse with fear. “Will I be banished from both worlds? Will I be imprisoned? Or will I be executed?” The thought of being put to death sent shivers down my spine, but I knew that it was a possibility.

As I sat there, surrounded by the desolation of the place, I felt the weight of my destiny bearing down upon me. I knew that I couldn’t escape my fate, but I couldn’t bring myself to face it either. I couldn’t just die without bringing justice to my dead mother. I couldn’t die without seeing her dream of revenge through.

I still needed to live, atleast long enough to see that Draco suffering. Not that he wasn’t, but I needed to get rid of him completely.

I fell on my knees and down on the ground in prostration towards the heavens.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

” Please, oh! Please! Give me respite. Let me live long enough to witness that Draco’s demise. Grant me this one wish to lead him towards his end. ”

I didn’t know if my prayers were heard or answered but I got up from that posit with a fresh lease of determination.

” The Divine Law, has loopholes as well, unlike any Constitutional Law.” I smiled as I remembered. I began going through the lines of the Divine Law in my head, again and again.

And then I found it.

If I can make the one that was the initial target, voluntarily give their own life up, in exchange of the life that was taken, the wrong doing would be nullified.

So basically, I had to go talk to Draco and convince him to give his life up so Liana could come back and in this way, the accident that I caused, would no longer be. And I would be free of the curse.

Wohoo!

But, this was as absurd as a fairytale was.

I knew Draco was distraught at Liana’s death. He might even do what I ask of him to get her back to the world of the living. But he wouldn’t do it before killing me.

I had to think of another way to manipulate him into thinking that I was regretful and could actually help him get his lover back.

The only one, that I could think of at the moment was Lucian. But I was also aware of the feeling he had towards that dead human.

There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t kill me at first sight for killing his love interest.

But I badly needed his help if I were to get going with this new plan because most of my accomplishes were dead.

Then , as if heavens had listened to my prayers, a blue streak of light appeared from nowhere. The familiar streak of blue light that was accompanied with the advent of Lucian.

I was so excited to finally see him that I had forgotten the liability.

” Lucian, my cousin. ”

I leaped forward to embrace him but he positined his feet right at my chest and kicked me so hard that I banged my head against the walls of that cave.

” How dare you little rat! How dare you kill my Liana? How dare you breathe after taking her life with those hands! ”

Just as I had thought. He was more dangerous for me at the moment than even Draco.
