CURSE OF THE DRAGON FLAMES

CHAPTER 4 - FORBIDDEN BONDS

HAZEL POV

One minute we were on the ground staring at the dragons in fear of what might be out fate and the next we were flying on air, on the back of the same dragons we feared and dreaded our nightmares, the dragon who had just burnt our sailor was at the front and we were flying on the other two dragons back we held on as we didn't want to fall down I had never been on somewhere high like this and it made me nauseous coupled with the fact that I hadn't eaten anything in the last three days and now my stomach was giving out loud and outrageous sounds, I wondered if the dragon who was carrying us could hear it which I hoped not. Soon we fully entered the dragon realm it was so beautiful like something out of this world, I would have said heaven but I had heard from my mother that heaven was for the good but then these creatures looked like the devil themselves but, I couldn't help but admire the beauty of this realm it was much more beautiful than our realm diffrent dragons flew around, the stars shone differently like Diamonds, I had never imagined that this was how the dragon realm would look like. Eldorado was something else, something that looked extremely beautiful and magical too and despite the fear in my chest I couldn't help but stare in wonder and fascination, because it was a feast for the eyes. Soon we reached a beautiful castle, from it magnificent and grand architecture, I immediately knew that it had to be the royal palace because among the beautiful houses we met in the way this was the most beautiful, it walls where designed with fine stones making it stand out, it looked like a tower with about five storeys, it was extremely tall and wide covering over five acres of land and then its fortresses where made up of thick, heavy walls making it stand out, I knew this castle was ancient but then it looked beautiful and outstanding much beautiful than the best houses in the human realm. Soon the dragons landed at the front of one of the hallways and then two guards walked towards us “get down girls” one of the guards said as the dragon who had carried us bent for us to get down. When we got down I could now see the guards properly they had pale skin and the colours of their eyes and features were something else, one had deep green eyes with long Raven black hair, and the other had monochromatic eyes one blue and the other green with long green hair, “where they also dragons” I thought as I stepped down from the dragons back, “welcome back your majesty”They said as they bowed before the dragon with thick scales who made me feel something I didn't understand I could feel his eyes on me the whole time but I couldn't bare to return a glance. Wait he was their King or maybe prince then I understood that the guards where also dragons, “wait that means these dragons could also transform into humans” I thought to myself “take them in an guard them well” the dragon with thick scales and golden eyes spoke up I didn't believe my eyes not my hears, the dragon had just spoken I grew up in my life believing that beast don't talk, and then my suspicions got cleared, if he could talk, he could also become human, after which I began to think of what he would look like if he was in his human form, I couldn't help but stare as the dragons eyes locked into mine my body reacted in ways I didn't understand, it was almost like I couldn't control it, giving me one last intense look he looked at the guards “take them in and tell the miads to bring them food, they look hungry ” he ordered as his eyes fell on me again like he was talking about me in particular as I quickly looked away the sound of food did really make my stomach rumble. The guards led us away as I could still feel his gaze on me as we walked deep into the corridors. Finally I was taken to my cell, at least this cell was better than the one back in the human realm, it had a small bed at the side or was this for the VIP’S, I thought they led me in, locked the gates, and left then my thoughts drifted to him, that dragon why did my heart miss a beat when our eyes met, he was supposed to be my enemy but I found myself attracted, I hadn't even seen him in human form and here I was already feeling like this, the way he looked at me, was something I didn't understand those mesmerizing killer eyes that somehow had a crazy effect on me one I didn't want to admit to, back in the human realm boys hardly looked at me not even for a micro second, but that dragon stared at me so intently, that I could feel my knees grow weak, my stomach growled again and I felt weak from both hunger and the long journey, and as if God heard prayers, a sweet aroma hit my nostrils, and then the gates swung open as two maids stepped in with two trays of food and desert, I couldn't believe my eyes was this for a prisoner or were they ed mistaking me for a guest or something. They dropped ge the food close to me on the bed, and then I was forced to ask “all this for me?” I asked just to be sure not to get into trouble “yes my lady” and then they turned to leave I breathed a sigh of relief and unleashed my hunger on the food, as I could hardly control myself and soon all the plates were empty at least, I would eat well before I get sacrificed, I had accepted my fate already, besides, there's no turning back I was already in the dragon realm, and worse of all in an heavily guarded cell, guarded by not just ordinary guards, but dragon shifters so I was doomed and condemned to die already, the earlier I accept it, the better for me. DRAVON POV; I Arrived at the balcony of my chambers and then shifted to my human form as I walked in I couldn't just take my mind off that girl, it wasn't just her innocent beauty that drew me to her, her scent and everything else drew me to her, my beast kept saying one word the word I dreaded the most “ mate” back at the entrance of the palace prison corridor I couldn't take my eyes if her it was just like a part of her was in me, I couldn't just get her out of my head, then I heard a knock on my door “come in” I said, even my voice showed my frustration right now and I didn't hide, the person outside did not step in but knocked again “I said come in don't you have ears” finally the door knob turned and a young guard well built with purple eyes, walked in “what do you want” I asked urgently and then he handed me a letter sealed in blood, I already knew what this meant, a letter from the priestess herself, I don't know why she likes sealing letters in blood but that was just her habit, maybe she just did it as a sign, to take her letters seriously I dismissed the guards as I opened the letter and then just as I expected, it read “ your highness, the prince get your acts together, and get yourself prepared for Tomorrow, as the rituals will be taken place by midnight at the tower of blood, remember you have a major role to play so sleep well and conserve your strength for tomorrow's event. From; The priestess. I tore the letter in shreds and threw it away, I loved the customs and traditions of Eleanor, but this was the part I hated I knew I had to throw every stupid feelings I had started developing towards that human girl and move on as this was best for both realms but then I her scent came hitting my nostrils again, it was like I could smell her scent from a distance. I walked to the balcony shifted and flew away from my room to get some fresh air and get her out of my head, i flew towards the mountains my place of solace, a place I could see the whole world from, as she came running back to my mind “ this girl she would be my doom I knew it and I could feel it.
