Dragon Loves Me

Meanwhile, in the Green Mountains, a cave is covered with creepers, tree branches, leaves and twigs. It is impossible to know that beneath that huge bush there is a cave and it is very deep. Somewhere in the cave, a large and well-built dragon is laying beside the small water pool. The colour of the dragon is unknown due to the darkness of the cave. If someone saw the dragon they thought it was some huge rock, if one looked carefully they thought the stone was breathing and it was stable.

Suddenly, the dragon slowly opened its clear dark green eyes, they seemed to glow in the dark cave. The eyes seem to scan the surroundings as it senses the familiar power but soon it closes eyes as it doesn't open the eyes in the first place.

At the same time in the palace, the King's body started sweating a lot. After their activity, both of them drifted into a deep slumber but Gabriel felt suffocated, his body temperature rose and soon it was covered with perspiration.

He jolted awake when he felt similar energy, as the Drackston he is well aware of this power, it is like again he is experiencing the blood awakening part. He was confused by his senses but suddenly he remembered someone and shouted.

"Who is there?" The King shouted, making the Queen wake up.

"What happened, YourMajesty" Veronica inquired with concern as she was trying to cover her body with the quilt.

Gabriel did not respond to her nor spare a look at her, the guard entered the room with his head bowed down. Their bed is covered with a curtain and nothing can be seen through it.

"Inform Calvin to meet me in a few minutes," Gabriel ordered and the guard left the room without making any noise.

Veronica is confused by his actions, she waited for him to reply but he got down from the bed and went towards the bathroom. After a few minutes, he came out and soon the servants came to help him.

By that time, Veronica also dressed properly and went towards him and signalled the servants to go out after they were done. "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong? Why are you calling the Minister at this time?"

Gabriel, who is in a good mood, replied "I think my son awakened Drackston blood."

"What?" Veronica gasped. She never thought that her son would be capable of awakening the Drackston blood. She felt happy and her position as Queen will never be threatened.

"Really, Your Majesty." Veronica still has not gotten over the fact.

"Of course, I sensed that power again. Due to our blood, I am able to sense it even if he is away from me. I am really happy about his efforts. It seems sending him away is a good decision." Gabriel laughed with happiness.

"Yes, Yes. Our son is truly capable. I am very happy." Veronica also chimed in but Gabriel did not acknowledge her words as 'our son' and strode out.

Meanwhile, in the cave, Gavon gained consciousness. He stood up with much difficulty and he felt all his body is gone through some tremendous torture. He never felt this kind of pain in his life but he soon remembered Ivy and became alerted.

He looked around and saw there was no trace of his enemy, he remembered the scene before he lost his consciousness and was still in dilemma. But he pushed all his thoughts back into his mind and went to look for Ivy.

Before he moved he felt the presence of people near the cave, his senses were more active than before. He walked towards the entrance and found the people coming towards the cave. He signalled them to come fast.

Once they arrived, Gavon looked at them seriously and informed them "Capture the people who are still breathing and leave the dead bodies to wild animals. Investigate the culprits."

"Search for Lyo in the cave and take him to the hospital immediately. I will go and search for my wife." Gavon ordered.

"And one more thing, be careful of traps. There might be few in the cave. Be on guard" Gavon warned them because he is not sure of the traps Achrel laid in the cave. The soldiers nodded their heads and left to implement the orders.

Without wasting time, Gavon rushed inside the cave in search of Ivy. It was already dark outside and he took the fire torch to look deep inside the cave. He awakened his senses to listen to the movement of other humans in the cave.

He came across a few rooms and finally found a room in the corner of the cave, he entered it and the room is ink dark as it is situated in the corner. Seeing the cave Gavon thought that Achrel is residing in this cave for a few months and he modified the cave according to his taste. It is like a house with several rooms.

But he felt ashamed for not noticing the enemy within his reach. Soon his thoughts drifted when his heart started beating loudly enough to hear it, he quickly walked inside the room and his eyes caught alight. In this whole room, he saw the small light flickering in the air.

He heard the muffled voice and it became stronger with each step he took. Soon he was near the person in the room and saw the person lying on the ground. He stood still and his heart stopped for a second and in the next second, it was beating violently with anxiety and desperation. He took a few steps towards the person, precisely a girl lying on the ground and she was tied with ropes and her mouth was covered with cloth.

Her face is covered by the hair and he instantly recognised those hair colours. The silver-coloured hair which belongs to his Ivy and immediately rushed towards her in a heartbeat.

"Ivy, Ivy" Gavon fell to the ground and patted her cheek lightly. He sensed that he saw this scene somewhere, it feels like a deja vu but he is sure that he remembered this place and Ivy in this situation. But at that time before he reached Ivy he was dragged back.

Gavon removed the hair which was covering her face and gently patted her cheek to wake her up. He removed the cloth covering her mouth and untied the ropes. His hands are trembling and his heart is in turmoil.

"Ivy, are you able to hear me? Please respond." Gavon pleaded and his voice was becoming hoarse.

Ivy felt a familiar scent and warmth, slowly she gained consciousness and opened her eyes slowly. She saw someone in front of her and the image was blurry, she panicked but sensing the familiar aura she became calm and blinked a few times to see the person's image until it was clear to her.

"Ga-Gavon" Ivy's voice came out weakly.

Gavon stiffened when he heard her voice and he felt glad to hear her voice again, he thanked all the gods he knew of.

"Ivy," Gavon hugged her tightly and sighed in relief.

Ivy regained her consciousness fully when she felt a strong hand grip her body "Gavon, is it really you? Sob… Lyo, he is … sob, I- I am scared. Sob" Ivy's voice is getting cracked with the words.

Gavon patted her back gently and coaxed her "Yes, It's me. I am sorry. You are fine now. Lyo is also fine. Let's get out." 

Ivy nodded her head in his embrace and Gavon separated her from his embrace and carried her in princess style. Ivy snuggled in his embrace and held him tightly with the energy she had.

Gavon went out the way he came and he didn't bother about the darkness, he rushed outside quickly and soon he reached the exit. He saw the fire torches lit the whole area and the search was going on.

The soldiers already cleared most of the area and rescued Lyo. He was sent to the hospital by the dragon. Gavon came outside and whistled to call Odin. Odin and Olaf who are recovered from the sudden attack heard the signal and immediately flew towards him.

"About" Gavon looked at the chief and want to inquire about Lyo but stopped seeing Ivy.
