chapter 15

The air was lighter than usual but it was easy for them to breathe. Enara walked ahead of Ludiciel but he kept pace as well.

"that dragon has to die no matter what. My aim is to hand her to Lucifer and your job is to stop that but we all know that neither of us can do that with him in the way. He is a fork in the road and he needs to be uprooted with no hesitation"

" it is only a necessity for you. " Ludiciel answered within him. "with the dragon by my side I can eliminate you and we could both keep her safe and it means I would have less to worry about constantly. So whatever happens, I am not killing that dragon " he concluded in his mind.

The sun was rising gently lighting the path for them as they threaded carefully in order to prevent alerting the dragon.

After a while, they arrived at the only shelter in the forest.

" this must be where they are. Be quiet about it. He has a very keen sense "

They were both asleep. His masculine arms around her neck as she slept peacefully with a smile on her face. She ached nearer to him making him open his eyes. His thick lashes fluttered as he stared at her.He brushed aside the stray hair that covered her face patting her hair gently feeling it's silky smooth texture.

" I love you and will always do that for the rest of our immortal lives "

" I love you too" she replied back.

His eyes widened in surprise but he regained his face responding back with a smile.

" I thought you were asleep "

" I woke up long before you did lazy dragon "

" Am not lazy. Just enjoying your presence. I miss you and you have no idea how painful it was all those centuries locked in a book without you"

She averted his gaze but he caught the look of guilt in her eyes.

" sorry for saying that. Didn't mean to make you feel that way. It wasn't your fault at all". He held her chin up

" I let that happen to you"She argued " I brought you in a fight you had nothing to do with. Am sorry. It was my fault you lost favor with my father.Am the reason you were locked in that book all those years. Wish I could make amends. "

"If you are hell bent on making amends, then fine. You will never leave my side no matter what happens. You will keep your... " His voice trailed away when he looked at her hair.

The color of her hair was reverting back to black. Her eyes went back to normal and even her aura dropped. She was back to being the weak Blu.

She closed her eyes and opened them fiercely.Her eyes moved straight to his hand holding her chin. She was about to flare up when she noticed the position they were in. Her cheeks burned and she bent her head low. She didn't even stand up but rather grab the blanket curling up inside of it.

" What happened to your hair" he asked

" I should be the one asking questions. I don't remember anything that happened right after I took my bath. Did you drug me or did you cast a spell on me " Her eyes begging calmly for answers

" I do not understand.A couple moments ago you were her.My Blu! You remembered everything and I..... we.. "

" we what?? " her heart racing against her chest

He bent his head low.

Her eyes widened in shock of what he meant.She rushed out of the room but went back in to grab a gown.

Her heart was pounding and her breath was hoarse.

She ran out wearing the gown as she went.

He didn't follow her. He was confused just as she was.

He stood up brushing his hair with his fingers before letting out a sigh.

"Samuel" he called out to the rabbit

The mist appeared and the rabbit hopped out of it.

"Am hungry"

"Would you like freshly squeezed oranges with roast beef as well as... " the rabbit blabbered on as usual jumping around as he listed out what was available for breakfast. "...or would you like kelp. I think that's too bland for you. Don't you think... "

He finally turned around and caught a whiff of Samhel's aura.
