Chapter 36 The Snow Spark( Alba)
"You.... You look mesmerizing, completely exquisite. I think today the pride of the moon has faded, because you have been seen here," He was running out of words; he had never seen anything that fascinating.
"I appreciate your kind words," she said, looking under her long, lustrous lashes.
Ezra's heart skips a beat; he forgets everything, losing his ability to act rationally.
"I thought you were going to like it, and you really did," Esperanza said.
"I.... I do not even like it, I adore it," He said and scoffed with a gaze of love, and Raymond suddenly cleared his thoughts to get attention.
"Maybe I am standing here too," Raymond said, and Ezra lost track here.
"I... I know Raymond," he said and Esperanza chuckled.
"Thank goodness you smiled." Ezra was eagerly waiting to see her smile; every passing day was a burden on her, and that was pushing her into intense pressure.
"What were you doing here?" Esperanza asked.
"We were discussing something ancient, and I prefer not to go there if there is no need to relinquish your life," Raymond sarcastically said.
"What do you mean?" Esperanza frowned.
" Raymond.... No, she does not know anything," Ezra said to protect her, but Raymond was conspicuous in her reality.
"But she needs to know," Raymond said and Esperanza eagerly nodded. And Ezra glared at her.
" Let him say, I just want to listen," Esperanza said innocently after predicting his portentous anger.
"Can I stay here, my King?" she let out with a bend of her waist and back. Ezra never felt that thing, he kind of disliked it.
"Hey... Do... Do not do this," he clutched her both arms and made her stand straight.
"I do not appreciate that," He said, and she gasped. She was observing an unconditional love in his sneaking gaze.
"I want to always stand straight in front of me. I cannot see you bending over for anything or begging for anything. You are precious, and I want to treat you like one," he said and pulled her hair back to her ear. Her eyes were stuck in his eyes.
"I do not know who you are to me, but I know that I am yours," Ezra said in his heart, and he could not stop looking profoundly into her eyes, but he was oblivious that she could hear this all; her eyes were getting wide, and the tears started to well up in her eyes.
His feelings, and actions were genuine.
" Why are you feeling that way?" Esperanza asked and Ezra was buzzed away with her melodious voice.
"I always felt that way, you can hear me," he asked and she nodded politely and astonishingly.
"Do you not feel something too?" He asked and she wanted to let it out.
"I... I was nothing, before meeting you, but after meeting you, I observed a life from very near. I think that the cherish and liveliness you endeavor has enlightened me as well." Esperanza let out this, and Raymond was standing there feeling the tremendous encounter of emotions between the two most powerful creatures in this world.
Ezra was not even moving his eyes; he never felt that kind of attraction ever in his life, and Esperanza was experiencing the hurricane of emotions flooding from Ezra's heart.
" I think I have to leave," Raymond said and tried to move but Ezra stopped him and took control over his emotions.
He let go of her arms and Esperanza stopped stumbling in his thoughts.
" Please, can you continue?" Ezra said and kept sneaking his gaze from Esperanza.
"Maybe we can do this after some time," Raymond said.
"No, right now," Ezra said, and Raymond nodded.
"Now we are having Cyrus," He let out, and Esperanza's heart pounded in her chest.
"Cyrus....," she whispered in confusion and Ezra caressed her shoulder with his hand.
" What happened to you?" He asked, and the emotion she felt her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she flinched.
She saw his eyes stuck on her lips.
"Are you okay?" He asked and tried to get close but she stepped back.
"I... I think I know this name before," She said and gasped. Raymond knew the confusion behind it; he was capturing her every move, every emotion connected to it. He was coming to the conclusion, and that conclusion would change everyone's life forever.
" Maybe... Maybe someone from that human valley had this name," Ezra tried to cover it, but this went in vain.
"No..... There......," Esperanza wanted to say but he placed his finger on her lips.
Esperanza predicted the fear and nodded by saying, "Yes, right one of my friends had this name, what a coincidence," Esperanza said.
"Yes, what a coincidence," Raymond let out in suspicion.
"So before thinking through, you need to think about the fire demon Cyrus, it's also called a Crimson Dragon, but Cyrus defines the reality of its magnificent aura." He was saying and predicting the need to acknowledge the illumination in her eyes.
" His powers are enormous; he can control fire, shaping fire into any form, and he can shower fire from his mouth and nose," Raymond said.
"You need to be careful while standing out there," Raymond said, and Ezra was stunned to see that dragon.
A long reptilian body dragon, with large and hefty bat-like wings, had long and viperous legs with talons, hos neck was long with horned head and scaled face his mouth was long as well and the sharp arrangements of teeth were visible, he looks viperous, the back was ornamented by the scales snd the spikes that are deadliest, the whole dragon was red, brown with shimmering scales and spikes.
He looks hazardous, Ezra said and Esperanza's breath skipped.
"If you get scared of his picture, then what happens when you get to that place?" Raymond smirked.
" What do you mean?" Ezra asked.
'That place is called a living hell, because everywhere you roam your eyes, you will see volcanoes and the rivers of fire, everything is burning, and no one can stay there for a second," Raymond said.
"So what you are saying is that we cannot stand there?" Ezra asked.
"Who said that you cannot? You can because you are the king, and there is a fire inside you as well, and that fire belongs to the golden fire of the golden dragon," Raymond said.
"And no one else can stand there only if it belongs to the golden dragon," Raymond let out with a playful smirk.
"But Golden Dragon is no more, not here in this era," Ezra tries to cover.
"But let me tell you one thing, that the golden dragon is not dead, if he were dead, those most powerful dragons would never be protecting that sacred place," Raymond said.
"He plays mind games, and it's more impossible to get through them," Raymond said, and Ezra nodded.
" In the end, we have 'The Snow Spark Alba,' Raymond said, and again Esperanza's head started flustering, a throbbing pain started in her head, but she was determined to get everything about her vitality.
"But in this situation, you do not need to tell, you do not need to prove, the only thing you need to do is to get through there, that moment you enter that place she will recognize you,"
" She knows about everyone, she can see through one's mind," Raymond said, and everything turned so polite, even with her name.
