Chapter 56 And that's how a villain is made
The bleed stopped but the wound was raw.
His hand was bleeding beyond repair.
His eyes were brimming with tears, and his body was racked with tremors.
He has fallen but still his love was incomprehensible to her.
As his heart had learned to endure the pain long ago, this pain was striking.
There is something dead, but he could not let the part of his body die that still loves her.
Loving after betrayal is quite destructive, but he was loving every inch of her fatally.
He cleaned his verge of tears and stood strong.
"I will save you, and then impose sanctions on you, I promise," with the hope that he stayed resolute, he choked and then took her into his arms, while his hand was still bleeding.
Felix was sitting under the moon, on the cliff near the ground.
The surroundings were quiet and composed.
Suddenly, a wave of memories covered his face, closed his eyes, and he felt the essence of the same day when the sky was gleaming and the day was lighter.
The air was friable, and the sun was warm, everything felt like harmony was singing, and sunlight was dancing in the rhythm.
There was a melodious voice coming from the stoned and meticulously framed home, which was small, but life was breathing in every brick of that home.
"Feli...... My love, the launch is ready," that melodious voice let out, and young Felix, who was standing near the pond, catching fish to surprise that little guy, standing beside him, and cheering him up to pull out all the fish from there.
Yes, Father, you can do this. A little cute button boy was standing there and pushing himself hard to pull those fish that were out of his territory.
His face was soft, curved, and had rosy hues; his cheeks were apple-round, and his eyes were dark like the falling night. His smile was glistening, and he was missing the front chiclet teeth. He had unruly black curls, and as he giggled, his cheeks went rosy, looking like they would blow up.
He has a tiny upturned nose, a full, chubby belly that makes his clothes a little snug, and a very high-pitched voice.
Felix extended his hand, and he placed his little dimpled hand in his hand.
Felix turned to him and smiled, gleaming, " Hey, you little bunny, "time to go, your mother is calling us," he furrowed his brows, and his son understood.
Felix took him on his shoulders and they stepped towards that soothing place, as the giggles were dispersing in the air.
That home was built with everything that earth has provided; the stones and bricks were deeply set, the trench was firm and protected, and the windows and doors were carefully built with the premium stones that were stacked and interlocked to build that immense structure.
The cruck frame was made up of the oak tree and the timber، and that has created the skeleton for that.
After that was covered with the heavy stone slate.
At the entrance, there was a small place for standing, and after walking forward, there came the hearth of the house, on the right side, there was a small place where they could cook and serve, while on the other side, there were rooms for sleeping.
The home was fully structured and life was giggling inside the hard walls of that heaven.
In the cooking place where the air was dense with the scent of garlic and herbs, there was a gorgeous woman; she was not just preparing food, she was spreading the feeling of composure and tranquility at every move she took.
Her plumped lips were wide in a smile while simmering the herbs, as she flickered her dark eyes because of the smoke spreading in the air, she sniffs the aroma with her tiny, sharp nose, and flickers her lustrous lashes as she feels the taste that was perfect.
She was of medium height, as her stature was tiny and slim, and she opened her black hair from the undone bun that was disturbing her beautiful features all the time.
They entered, and Felix let down his son, and stared at her with gleaming eyes as if she were a dream.
"Hey, little guy, you need to go out, quick," she let out with her straight teeth, those were smiling bright.
" Okay, mother, I am starving, " the boy said and jumped out. Felix saw him leaving, and he moved closer to that woman.
He hugged her from behind and sniffed that fragrance coming from her hair.
He kissed the side of her neck, and she flinched and turned.
" Feli, if he sees.....," he does not let her complete and places his lips softly on her lips.
He absorbed all her softness and was not letting it go.
Suddenly, the kid comes from behind.
"Father.....," he let out, and he abruptly let go of her lips, and tried to conceal the situation.
" There was something in your eyes, are you fine now?" He asked her and she nodded.
" Father, we left our fish outside," the child said, and Felix smiled as his mother chuckled.
"I will go play there," Felix said, and he ran away.
"Are you happy Adeline?" Felix asked, and suddenly her smile faded.
"Happy yes, but if they get to know where we are?" She asked and he smiled politely.
" They are never going to know this place is the safest, these people are said to be the most caring ones, and they will never find us here," Felix assured her of something that was making her body quiver.
" I am really scared for myself, but for you Caleb," she let out.
"A son of a human and a dragon, they would never let him live," she said and suddenly the smile faded off from Felix's lips
" We are safe here," He said, and she was assured.
' Father.....," his son chanted again.
"Go....., he is not forgetting it, but I am not going to touch it, that smells pungent," she let out with a mug, and he smiled.
'Do not worry, I will be doing everything, and it will be outside the home, so you would not experience the pungent smell," he said, and she smiled brightly.
" I love you and will always adore you," he said and looked lovingly into her eyes.
'And I love you too, and I will always be loyal to you, and always be yours," she said and he gorgeously cuddled her before leaving.
As he went to the pond to take the bucket of fish that they caught.
He heard a grimace and growl of unusual creatures, and he turned and saw that his home was under the attack of fire.
He saw a troop of dragons that set his home on fire with their fiery breath.
Nooooooo......., he growled in horror and ran faster than he could.
He tried to transform, but a sudden thrust had taken his energy; those giants knew where to attack, they did, and flew away.
He tried to jump into the fire but was resisted by the people around him.
' Noooo....., my wife, my son," he mourned and growled he was in great pain.
The people surrounded the home; they were wearing kesa.
"We are ready to go, " said Orion, and Felix suddenly woke up from the nightmare, he wiped his eyes and stood like nothing just happened.
And that's how a villain is made.
