Chapter 33 The monster
"I do not accept hugs from humans," she rolled her eyes, but in her stomach, there were butterflies.
Amelia was taking Esperanza to the exit door, and Esperanza was watching women looking ravishing and dressing voluptuously.
"This place seems a little ostentatious," Esperanza said.
"Not little it's more," Amelia replied with a smirk.
"What do you do here?" Esperanza asked.
"It's good to not ask," Amelia said and Esperanza nodded her head.
Esperanza was experiencing a new turn in her life, she started her adventurous life as a dragon.
On the other hand, Orion was searching for Esperanza like a madman.
What just happened last night he could not even sniff her fragrance that he usually could.
He thought she never wanted to see Ezra's face ever, so no one would abandon her from the kingdom, but where else could she go?
He searched in Caspian's house as well, by any chance Esperanza could be there, but did not find any clue about her.
He opened the door with a thud. Felix was sleeping, and suddenly he opened his eyes.
"Felix.....," he looks frustrated.
"Hey, what happened?" He let out with squinting eyes, and Orion gasped. He sat with him; his brain was cleared out, and he could not think of anything but Esperanza.
You killed her parents, and now I've lost her. Orion furiously stood and started throwing things.
You need to calm down, she will be roaming around the forest or somewhere else. Felix tried to console, but his justification was useless.
"I cannot, I thought I had cleared my way," Orion growled, and Felix saw his eyes turn black, his soul leave his body.
"Why did you do that to her........?" He growled and his voice was heavier and monstrous.
"O.... Orion you.... You are losing control," Felix was staring into his eyes with extreme horror.
His size started to increase and his ferocious body started shedding scales.
"No, Ezra.....," Felix tried to control him but he was never going to come out of his rage.
Suddenly, he regained control over his outcome and came to his normal size.
Felix stood here standing stunned.
He covered his body with sheets and walked out of the room.
His eyes were wide open, and his heart was telling him the truth that he had grown a monster under his shelter.
Raymond was sitting with Ezra going through some maps.
"Why are we looking at all these?" Raymond ask.
"Maybe I want to go somewhere, a hidden place," Ezra said, while looking at the maps.
"With her," Raymond said and Ezra peeked at him.
"You need to see her, she has something for you," Raymond said and Ezra frowned.
"I do not understand?" Ezra squints his eyes.
"You will come to know," Raymond smirked.
" I do not want her to do anything to make me happy, I want to make her Happy, and if you help me, then I really can, and only seeing her happy can make me happy," Ezra said.
" So you are not frantic about this morning," Raymond asked.
"Why would I? I am not. She is so innocent, and this makes me fall for her." Ezra vanished in her thoughts.
Raymond snapped, and he came out of the past.
" You seem to be in deep love," Raymond said.
"Maybe I am, I do not mind whatever she says, whatever she thinks about me, the only thing I care about is the meaning, she is trying to find," Ezra said.
" I am so glad that you found your choice," Raymond said and Ezra nodded.
"Did she want to go to that place? Maybe her parents are there", Raymond pulled his one brow and gave a suspicious look to Ezra.
"What..... How come you think about that?" Ezra was faking a frown, but Raymond knew, every move of his
"That is so obvious, my king, you do not like traveling, or going out of the kingdom, then why suddenly you want to go to some 'strange unknown place," Raymond said sarcastically.
"This is something about finding the fire.......," he said and stopped.
" What fire?" Raymond asked.
"The fire of the golden dragon, I want to know the way to the Arctic flaming descend," he said, and Raymond's breath stopped, his eyes popped out, and his body started trembling.
" Are you out of your mind? Why do you want to go to that place?" He asked while his eyes were fully open.
"Hey, what happened?" Ezra was shocked to see his come out.
" I mean, it's clear, you cannot go to that place, you are not going to find that place, that place is a curse, and before getting to this place, you will be no more," Raymond said, and Ezra was not getting anything.
" If I tell you that there is a human who has been to that place and came back without getting hurt then?" Ezra asked and Raymond laughed.
"That's not possible, the most powerful dragon cannot survive the first ordeal," he chuckled, and Ezra rolled his eyes.
"There was one who did that," Ezra said with assurance under pressure on him.
"No way, that place is a curse," Raymond said.
