Chapter 25 You are a miracle
"That was the time when we were praying for a child, this was about the tenth year of our wedding and there was no light in our lives, because we were infertile,"
"We did everything for a baby but never got the outcome, then one day I heard about that miraculous place,"
" But the place is difficult to reach, death surrounds it all over the place, "
"But I risked myself getting a child, the place was incredible, that bleak wind howled through my bones, every blow was jagged against my exposed skin, but on the other hand the sun was shining over my head, it had risen and fully flourished above in the sky, the place was an extreme example of life and death struggling to survive, "
"But that moment I reached there, I found my goal, I found the real meaning of me being there, but that day, a miracle took place, that was written, and was necessary to take place, I prayed for a child, and opened my eyes to a baby's cry,"
"I walked some distance and found you wrapped in golden light, innocent and amiable, I cannot resist after seeing the most beautiful child ever in my life,"
" I took you in my hands and acknowledged that my wish had been fulfilled," he let out, and her eyes flooded.
'I took you to our home, and when Miranda sees you she finds her everything in you,"
" We never tell anybody about you, everyone knows that you are our daughter." Emerson caressed her hair and whimpered.
"You are a miracle, you belong to us, you were there and that was not less than a miracle," Emerson said and hugged his daughter.
"Our wish was granted, and now you are going to be eighteen soon, and I cannot wait to celebrate it with my whole heart," Emerson said and she hugged him tighter.
" Thank you for being there for me, thank you for everything.....," Esperanza said and Miranda caressed her hair.
"We are fortunate to have you," Miranda let out and the reunion was completed.
"I want to tell you one thing, I think I am not a human," Esperanza said and they frowned.
"What? What do you mean?" Emerson asked with a curious face.
'Today I did something that made me ensure that I am not a human, Esperanza said.
What do you mean? Miranda held her hand and made her comfortable.
Say whatever it is? Emerson asked.
I .... I healed....., I healed a Dragon...., she let out and they got stunned.
What? Did you really? Emerson was startled by hearing this, his heart was filled with assumptions and questions.
"Yes, I did, this has been happening with me for a long time, I can heal injuries and wounds, but this time something was different,
" That dragon was about to die, and I made him live again," Esperanza let out, and they could not believe their ears.
"You are a miracle, Esperanza....., I have told you, the day I found you, and you were breathing in that truculent weather, you have something special," Emerson said.
"But these abilities are impossible to live in this era,"
" Those are the one aspect of the Golden Dragon," Emerson let out and their eyes went wide.
"That's not possible, I am not a dragon," Esperanza said.
"Surely you are not," Miranda said.
" You are a gift from the golden dragon," Emerson said and looked at Miranda.
"He gave us that gift because our hearts were pure," He said, and Miranda nodded.
"Are you not afraid of me?" She asked.
"Why would I? I would never, " Emerson said. " I adore you, and I trust you,"
" I cannot use them or feel them in normal situations, but when my sentinels are hurt, they get extreme pain that shows up," Esperanza said, and they nodded.
" You do not need to worry, Esperanza but do not, we are standing with you," Emerson was pleased to hear this.
" Father and there is another thing I want to tell you," and she hesitated this time.
" Father...., I... I want you to meet someone," Esperanza cuts the moment and lets out what was bothering her heart.
"Who is that person?" Emerson asked.
"There is a lot to tell, but I do not know why I found a connection with him," Esperanza said.
"Esperanza, please make this clear, we are flustered, sweetheart ....," Miranda said, and she gathered her strength.
"He.... He.....," her tongue was trembling.
"Who is he?" Miranda asked.
" He is a dragon," she let out abruptly.
"Another dragon?" Emerson furrowed his brow.
" No. This time a good one, he is not like others," she cleared them.
"But do you have any idea that you have made your life tough," Emerson said.
"The king knows that you are not our daughter, and he also knows about your reality, Emerson said.
" As far as I know, he has seen me healing that dragon," Esperanza said.
"You are in an immense situation, the king's face was ferocious," Emerson said.
" I know, he killed those people because they gave me a chance to escape," Esperanza said.
"Can we see that dragon? Is he big?" Miranda asked and Esperanza chuckled.
"No, he looks so good," she said and walked outside to call Orion.
They were standing in the doorway because they were still scared of dragons.
"Now you're used to it," Esperanza said, smiling.
"Orion," she let out his name, and he stood, seeing her standing outside.
" Hey, why?" He was confused.
"Please, you can show up They are my parents. You do not need to be scared," Esperanza said, and Orion was flabbergasted and came down.
They were stunned and Emerson felt something off about that man. His face was similar to someone in the past.
" Come, Orion, my parents want to meet you." Esperanza held his hand and walked towards them.
Orion stands in front of them, with an expressionless face.
Esperanza saw they were silent, and that looked like silence before the chaos.
She shoved her shoulder against his and gave him a sign to greet them.
" Glad to meet you," Orion let out with a forced tight smile.
"Glad to meet you," Emerson said.
"You are so handsome ....," Miranda said with a subtle smile.
"Father, mother, this is Orion," Esperanza let out.
"Come inside....," Emerson invites him, while he is suspicious of him.
He moved in with them, Emerson invited him to sit, and he sat with them.
"So your name is Orion?" Emerson asked, and he nodded.
" Who gave you this name?" Emerson asked and he predicted his attention.
" My grandfather gave me this name," he responded with a little cold tone.
" Oh, that's great, what's your grandfather's name?" He asked.
"Why are you so inclined to know that?" Orion asked with a smirk.
"Do I look like someone, someone you are afraid of?" Orion said it straight and Emerson was now extremely predictable.
He got goosebumps while looking into his eyes.
"Who are you?" Emerson asked.
"Maybe you have predicted me," Orion replied.
" But let's make a deal, you are not going to tell anybody, and I will let you live happily," Orion said, and Emerson nodded.
" How did you manage to escape?" Emerson asked.
" My life was written, and I was born to devour, not to get devoured," he said, and Emerson was engulfed in judging him.
"I love your daughter," He said and Emerson chuckled.
" The dragon of a Psychic demon fell in love, huh......! That cannot be," Emerson said.
"But this happened, and you do not need to be worried, if you let out anything unnecessary to her, then keep in mind I can play with your mind very well,"
"And can make you die from your own hands," He smirked and Emerson gulped his fears.
" She is innocent, do not drag her into your dark world," Emerson said with concern.
"You know better than me, do not destroy her please....," Emerson pleaded.
" I have thought about that, I tried to repel her thoughts, but I could not make it, I do not think I could live without her," He said and he frowned.
"Your heart is not made for love, how could you?" Emerson was getting ferociously helpless.
"Why? Why do I not deserve love?" He asked with an ambitious gaze.
"Because you are a demon, you are built to do betrayal; if you betray her, she will be broken forevermore," Emerson said.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing pain runs through his body after hearing this.
He cannot even think about hurting her, to abandon her, but that was the truth that Emerson was spitting out.
He stood and walked to the door, he opened it, and fled away like a thunderstorm.
Esperanza came with Miranda while having a wide smile on her lips.
Suddenly her smile faded away and she looked here and there.
"Where is Orion?" She asked and her father was sitting silent there.
" Father, what happened?" She asked and Emerson did not reply.
"Father would you tell me please?" She asked, and he turned his fierce gaze on her.
"Do you know who he is? He asked and she nodded.
"He is not a human, I told you," she said innocently.
"Not just a dragon, he is the most dangerous kind of them, the most ferocious and ruthless one; their power is incredible that the Golden Dragon was afraid of," Emerson said, and she frowned over his words.
"He is the most rejected kind of dragons yet most powerful, you need to stay away from him, did you tell him about that healing incident?" Emerson asked abruptly.
