Chapter 10

I woke up to see Adsila staring at me. I was back in Amazon rainforest. This was my old room till I was taken away. I remember hiding when Drake arrived with William. How Drake was punished. But all of that was paused when I saw Adsila. She had burns all over her body. I flicked my hand and my nails turned into claws. I used one of my claws to cut my hand and immediately she drank a mouthful of it. I didn't need to tell her what to do. William came forth and poured my blood into a crystal goblet. When the goblet was full I pulled my hand away and I licked the cut and it healed instantly. He gave me a sweet smile as he gave the goblet to Tiamat. I saw people stare in amazement as Adsila healed quickly. Vampire blood is a known instant cure. But mine was another level. On the other hand Vampyr as the dark ones called themselves can't heal anyone. Since they feast on innocent souls. More innocent blood they consume the more poisonous their blood becomes. The blood of innocents give them a boost but they need to feed regularly. So while Vampire blood can heal someone. Vampyr blood can absolutely destroy someone. It enhances the injuries tenfold. That was what happened to Poseidon.

Speaking of feeding I rubbed my throat as my stomach growled. William gave me a bag and Drakov snatched wanting to know what was going on. I told him that it is a blood bag filled with the blood guilty person. As long as I don't feed on innocent I have the ability to heal anyone even a dragon. So Drakov allowed me to drink from the bag and he grabbed the goblet to drink the last bit of my blood. Sure enough when he finished it's contents his injuries vanished without a trace. He smiled, "We dragons protect things that are precious for a reason. Not just because it made of gold or silver or because they are made of precious stones but because they are capable of many wonderful things. You have earned your place in my home. That means even if I die. You are a permanent resident of my home." They was an uproar. A few people protested. But the rest kept quiet.

William reminded him that he is supposed to return me when he dies. To which he retorted, "That was before I knew why the mermaids were insisting on protecting her. Had I known this earlier she wouldn't be risking her life here. She would be safe on the beach or on the perch." Merida the replacement leader for Maeve came forth with a chubby old blind lady. She whispered something into the dradon's ear. He laughed and waved it off saying that it was rescinded the moment my blood healed him. The woman said that I can't go back with him since I have stuff to do. Drakov gave the woman an angry look and smirked, "Listen I am grateful that you told me about Rose's wedding so I can take her with me. But the moment she set foot my property she is no longer viable to any nonsense you see. Half of what you said have been either incorrect or you purposefully left things out so excuse me if I don't believe you." I was so angry at the old woman that I couldn't stop myself from slapping her. Drakov cheerfully said that I should have hit her harder. So I slapped her again and stormed off.

Drakov grew bored of the company that he was surrounded by so he blew a ring of black smoke from his nose. Next to him was Drozdov. He is Drakov's baby brother. He was born three generations later. He is extremely loyal to Drakov. He waved his hands and the smoke began to swirl around till it touched the ground. The moment it did a fierce vortex opened up. I took a step back remembered what happened with Drake. The other dragons gave me a kind smile before they jumped into the vortex. Drakov asked me to step forward then he saw my fear. He gently picked me up with one hand pressed me against his chest and jumped in. I held on to him for dear life. I kept my eyes shut till I felt him walking. The other dragons roared with laughter at the sight of my fear. They wanted to see why I was so scared. They said that I was fighting things that everyone else was afraid of. But I was afraid of a portal. I stuck my hand out to show them the amateur that put me inside the storm of the century. When they saw the memory they brushed it off saying that it was done by an amateur so fear was a natural response. I said that I will try and face my fear. This made them smile even more.

The little ones wanted to see what adventures I had. So as always each finger was held on to by a baby dragon. The sight of their cheerful faces was so adorable. I showed everything that happened. They were cheering as they saw Drakov heal. When the memory was done they took me to the forbidden zone. Some of the ribs had fallen and form a sort of tent or a cave. I was escorted in and I saw the floor was covered with soot. There was a short corridor and a raise area. I saw the spot where the heart resides. I saw four cauldron shaped chambers brimming with multicolored eggs. There was green and red flames that were enveloping the eggs. Some of the eggs were emerald green. While some of the other eggs were pitch black. There were eggs that were blue and gray as well. I was nudged to move forward as Zvezda (Drakov's older brother) dragged witches to burn them alive. As their screams ceased I heard a loud cracking sound. I heard a few dozen babies crying. I was warned not to turn around so I kept my eyes towards the direction that Drozdov was taking me.

We walked into a small room where the two of us could barely fit in. He pulled out a blade from the wall. He asked me to raise my hand. I did and he swiftly cut my arm. He said a few words in a language that I didn't understand. A few blinks later the wound healed. He grinned as he explained that I am now bound to the dragons. If anyone tried to take me away their penalty is death. I thanked him and walked out of the room with my eyes shut since I had no death wish. Arroyo (The oldest dragon in the entire island) helped me get out of the forbidden zone. The moment I felt the warmth of the sun I flew into the air for a little bit of fresh air. The next thing I knew I flew towards the skull and slipped into his ears. I laid down on my make shift bed and I fell asleep within minutes.
