Epoch - 46

Tania’s anger was sadness in fight mode. And in her anger, she momentarily became blind to all other emotions.

And seeing Egan sneering at her from ear to ear, all of her frustrations and disappointments over the past few days just burst forth, as though a trigger had been suddenly flicked and she dysfunctioned.

She refused to look at the guy, for she feared she would end up punching him in the face if she kept seeing his smirking face.

“Hmm? Am I supposed to remember you?” Egan, becoming more and more interested in the topic, asked in an amused tone, “…. Could it be that we have met somewhere before that day by the rejuvenation lake?”

Titania was fuming speechlessly. Her anger was swallowed one too many times when it was just a fire-seed and so it grew in her belly as time passed her by and fury had unconsciously become the nourishment for its growth, until it finally came out as hot as any dragon has ever flamed.
