Chapter 26 This is the deed of dragons
"No, I did not," she said, and he gasped in relaxation.
"Do not tell him anything about yourself, he is the only dragon left of the most dangerous kind," Emerson warned her.
"What are you saying, Father? Orion is nothing like this, he saved me, and he loves me," Esperanza said.
" I am not denying it, but I have no idea that you are playing with fire," Emerson said.
" No, father, you are not understanding what I am trying to say. He waited for me for ten years, he loves me, and I do not know what it is, but I think I can call it love," Esperanza said.
"He has lost everything, and you are making him lose me as well," she said and walked out of the home.
"She is not understanding, stop her," Emerson said and Miranda runs behind him.
"Esperanza, stop!" She let out and Esperanza turned back.
"Please do not go, listen to your father," her mother pleaded.
"Every time, mother, but not this time," she responded and left for the forest.
And ran to the same place where they met for the first time and found him at the same place.
"I know you are going to be here," Esperanza smiled and walked to him.
"Why did you come here? Did not your father try to save you?," He asked.
"To see you, he tried to save me, but I told him that I did not want to be saved," she replied, and Orion smiled, but he brushed it off immediately.
"You do not have to, this is not right for you," Orion said.
"What are you talking about?" She burns up.
"I mean that darkness does not deserve the light of your love, that heart that has never been loved, how would it return it back," Orion said, and she smiled.
" But you forget that, whenever the darkness hits the light, it becomes bright, and also that the heart that never got loved has the most passionate emotions towards love," Esperanza said.
"Maybe you are right, but sometimes I could hurt you, that fire of revenge in my heart is stronger than any feeling," Orion said
"This is not your personality, Orion. You are here to rule. Do not get weak. If anything is limiting you, the easiest way is to make that limit limitless," she said.
" But this time the matter is about you, your father is right, I could never live a normal life,"
" That day when my whole breed ended, I was kept alive to get them revenge, I am made for revenge,"
" When I was little, there was nothing that I could play with; they bestowed upon me a sword, to kill and to devour," Orion said.
"I have no emotions, my heart is dead, I could never get love or give it to someone, you are going to suffer with me," Orion said and she placed her hand over his shoulder.
"Look at me," she turns him to her side.
"You have, do not say that, if there are no emotions then how do you love me unconditionally, even after these years,"
"And no one is going to suffer, have you ever imagined what life would sound like when you cut this revenge from your heart?" She let out, and he clutched her hand tight, more ruthlessly.
"No! Esperanza..... My revenge is my everything, you have no idea how I lose my family my people,"
"At that time I was flourishing enough, but did you know some children were younger than me, they killed them all, everyone,"
" They said that we have no right to live, how could I forget everything?" Orion let out, and Esperanza's eyes filled with tears.
"You wanted revenge because you do not have anybody to live for, but can't you live for me?" Esperanza asked.
"I want to, I want to spend every hour with you, and this is crushing me harshly," He said and walked away.
"Our ways are not meant to be together. Maybe that king would treat you better." Orion was about to leave, and Esperanza's eyes were watching the floor. Suddenly, he stopped and looked towards the village.
Esperanza heard those voices as well.
"Mother.....," she let out with a frown.
Her eyes went wide, and she ran faster as her legs could carry her; there were the voices of her mother and father's screams.
Those screams were full of pain and mourning.
Orion ran with her, and in that moment, they got to their house, they saw something ferocious had happened here.
"Mother...... Father....," she screamed the door was torn in pieces, everything was dispersed on the floor, as some
A storm had hit their house.
The windows and doors were shattered, and household items and furniture were shredded.
"Mother..... Father, please say something." They were not replying, and that was causing her heart to race.
Orion held her hand, and they both moved in.
They went to the hall where her mother and father were sitting, and she saw her father lying, his whole body covered with wounds, deep and severe. His clothes were drenched in blood, and he was just about to take his last breath.
"Father.....," she shouted and ran towards him.
" Es..... Esp......," he wanted to let out, but before he could say something, his eyes stopped, and so did his breath.
"No.... No no...., I can make it," she looks at her hands and tries to focus.
She tried to do this but nothing came out.
"Father........, no no no....., no this cannot be......, no no no," she was looking like a mad woman.
"Open your eyes....., you cannot leave me, you cannot," she clutched her face and talked in front of his face.
The blood was all over her clothes, and her eyes were living in a living hell.
"Come on.... I can do this..... Come on......," Esperanza said and did not come out with her powers.
"Listen to me, Father.... I can do this...., let me," Esperanza cried but he was dead.
"Esperanza......," she heard Orion's shout.
She ran towards him and saw her mother on the floor, drenched in blood as well. She was already dead and nothing was working out.
" Please.... No..... Who could do that.......?" She screamed, and Orion held her.
"This is the deed of dragons," Orion said and she heard him while crying.
He hesitated to say but then let out a lie that was sure on his face. They are the royal dragons, Orion said, and heard her growl.
She was dying from that emotional pain, her body was trembling, and she had never seen this much blood in her life.
" Who did this to you ..... Who?" She screamed, and the people of the village started to gather.
Suddenly she fainted in Orion's arms.
He heard people coming, he wanted to take her with him, but it was not possible, he laid her on the floor and rushed towards the forest.
"I will be back....," he let out and left.
The crowd appeared and found their bodies.
"Who did this to them.....?" The crowd was whispering.
This is so ruthless, another person said.
"What happened......?" Caspian runs towards the house and finds Esperanza unconscious on the floor, but alive.
" Esperanza.....," His eyes were wide open, he took her into his arms, and shouted.
" You, senseless people, don't you see.......," Caspian growled, and everyone started to help them.
Orion was standing on the peak of the mountain with a furious expression.
He knows someone who did this; that very moment, he was deciding to get some change in himself, but in that moment, he told a lie to Esperanza.
"Why did you do that to her," Orion fisted and went somewhere he knew.
He went to the fight arena where Felix was practicing. He opened the door with a thud and rushed there like a storm.
"How dare you?" He asked, and Felix did not make eye contact with him.
" I asked you why?" He asked again and he kept training.
He let out his sword and pushed it against Felix's neck.
He dragged him behind and stood with the wall, pushing Felix's body against the wall.
"Why did you ruin her life?" He asked again and Felix smirked.
" I did this for you," Felix said, and he frowned. He pushed his sword harder and a whimper escaped his mouth.
" Is it hurting?" He asked and Felix nodded with a smirk.
"I want to give her pain, extreme pain.....," he let out while enduring the pain.
"Why........," Orion growled.
"So she could hate the King," Felix said and Orion frowned.
" You have ruined her whole world," Orion said.
"What? Aren't you her world?" He asked with a smirk.
"For me, she is but not for her," Orion replied.
" I want her to feel the pain and hate that King is in the higher," Felix was letting out toxins.
" Do you not want the same?" Felix asked.
"He refused you for her, no matter whether she endured pain with you or she had to go forlorn with you, she needed to be with you," Felix said and Orion's franticness was at its peak.
"I do not know why the hell you get this insane?" Orion was helpless, he did what he did.
"Why are you concerned with them, they are just human," Felix said.
"You played dirty with her," Orion was worried as well as dejected by his own friend.
"I never expected this from you, now there is no difference left between you and that King,"
"You did the same with her and now I cannot stand against him in the matter of slaughtering your troops," Orion said.
"You do not have to, that human will," Felix said.
" Never ever," she would never touch a sword with her innocent hand,
"She is born to spread and get love, not like you, a filthy animal," Orion was full of rage.
