Give Anything (Ch.738)

~Aloria: The Fae Royal Forest

The low hum of the small stream flowing through the meadow was the only sound other than Lodenworth's pacing footsteps, the damp earth beneath his foot gave way underneath the hard soles of his boots, leaving behind the exact print, recreated over and over again for every time he retraced his steps.

For how long he had been pacing, Lodenworth was not certain. But that foreign emotion that was called anxiety, the one humans were more susceptible to, now churned through him in potent waves and it grew increasingly disturbing as the days passed.

"Lord Dragon..." A lilting voice called as a vaguely familiar woman approached Lodenworth from the thin path leading through the meadow. It was one of the many groomers Lodenworth had seen around a few times, tending to the flowers in the meadow. A dashingly beautiful woman, just as much as any fairy was.
