Azura-Watching more time pass by, I saw that it wasn’t long after that I met Cyran for the first time. He was warm and inviting. After the attack, my former self had been fragile. Every little sound spooked her and Cyran would comfort her as if she had been in real danger.It was sweet that he had taken her trauma seriously, but I wonder if that might have been the reason, we were so different. I had been attacked the first day I met Cyran in this lifetime and yes, I had a fear of the dark, but not like this. Anymore the dark doesn’t bother me as it once did.True to Trenton’s words though, I watched as my former self found a dungeon where Trenton and the others had been caged. It looked as if they had been left for dead. I didn’t need Trenton to slow things down, because even without hearing what was being said, I understood what was going on.Trenton and the others had been afraid at first, but my former self showed the first ounce of bravery that I have seen of her as of yet. She
Azura-“Arion, are you sure you want to do this?” Arion and the members from the council, except for Charles, were sitting together in the living room of the house Cyran and I lived in. I didn’t see my former self, so I thought we were looking at the present. Trenton tapped on my shoulder before extending his arm to point toward the back door. Standing on the other side of the glass double doors was me, or rather me from some time before I had died. Seeing that we were in the house that Cyran built, I knew that this event was leading up to my death. She was standing with her back toward us as she painted the scenery of the backyard. She had headphones in, so I wasn’t sure how this was from my memories. Just as the thought occurred, Trenton let out a small chuckle. This mind remind-reading was a little annoying, yet useful especially now.“I told you, as long as you were present, I can travel to the time. While technically you couldn’t hear anything inside, that doesn’t change anyth
Asura-The scene didn't slow down again until the day of my death. I knew it was the day of my death because I remember the outfit I had been wearing from the last time I had witnessed my death. Instead of being inside the cave, I was sitting down at the table with Arric, eating lunch together with a board game in the center if the table.“Checkmate!” Arric yelled out as he moved his play piece to corner my King on the chess board.“Must you yell?” Past Azura winced as she covered her ears, but in a playful manor. “I think everyone in town heard you.”“Oh come on! This is the first time I have beat you in this game. I am ready to go to the top of the mountain to let the whole world know that for the first time in thousands of year's I, Arric Chasm, have over powered the Dragon Queen.”I snorted at that comment. This was the first time I was referenced as a Queen. While it was technically true, the idea of being Queen sounded weird. I was anything but regal. I didn’t even know how to
Cyran-Something was wrong. I could feel it deep down in my core. They have been gone a long time. I knew that there was a lot of time to cover, but for the last few hours, it felt as if something was seriously wrong. Pacing back and forth, I wondered if anyone would know how to get them back. I have met a lot of Dragons in my time, but none of them have had any talent like Trenton's. Thankfully I didn't need to wait longer or try to figure it out. Just as I turned around to walk across the room again, Trenton and Azura returned. Trenton looked as if he had taken a dip in a pool, soaked from head to toe. He was holding onto Azura but the moment I stepped forward he released her and took two steps back.“She nearly killed us!” He yelled.Moving toward Azura who looked as if she had gone through hell, I wondered what had happened to them. Azura looked terrible, but Trenton looked worse. I was about to ask what happened but just as I reached my mate, her legs came out from under her an
Azura-My head felt as if it were pounding. Every molecule in my body felt heavy as if I had been drinking heavily the night before. Pressing my hands to my head, I heard myself groan. I didn’t open my eyes, but when I felt a soft touch against my forehead, I sighed contently.“How are you feeling?” The sound of Cyran’s voice jarred me and I quickly opened my eyes and sat up.“Fine.” I blurted, although I was far from fine.He moved toward me, with one arm sliding across the back of the couch. Scooting away, I pulled my feet onto the couch, while wrapping my arms around my legs. I still remembered what happened, so I believed that Cyran was better off not having me around.Not that I was going to kill myself or anything, but I needed to think of a way to keep myself safe while staying as far away from him as possible. Kellan scoffed and I immediately knew he was invading my thoughts. Glaring at him he held up his hands in defense.“We made a promise, yes, but I had to at least make su
Cyran- “Are you ready for this?” Trenton asked the moment he walked in the door. Looking over at Azura who was snuggled next to me on the couch, I could tell she didn’t want me to go. We already discussed it this morning. She was worried about something going wrong. Tightening my hold on her, I pressed my lips against her forehead. “It will be okay.” I assured her, although I didn’t believe it myself. She nodded her head after a few moments of hesitation. Giving her a smile, I pressed my lips against hers, before releasing her and standing up. Azura stood up beside me and threw her arms around me, faster than I had ever seen her move. “Please be safe and no matter what happens, remember I am here waiting for you, and we will get through it.” She spoke into my ear and clung to me. “I promise.” I wrapped my arms around her and almost had to pry her from me, although I wished I didn’t have to leave her. The words she spoke were similar to the words I had whispered to her after she
Cyran-“Let’s track down any potential Dragon Stone Keeper that was born around the time of Cyran. Cyran was born. Most Keepers are around the same age as their Guardians. Once all of them have been captured, we will expand our search to capture others.” My father said while getting agreeable nods from the others.I wasn’t sure how to feel right now. There were too many feelings rushing through me. There was anger, confusion, disbelief, shock and so much more.“What will happen after we capture them, and you die? How can we ensure that they will be killed?”“Let me worry about that.” My father had a smirk on his face like he already knew what he needed to do.I waited for them to talk more, but shortly after they began to leave, and Trenton sped time along. When we stopped, we were now standing in the backyard, where my father had us kids trained. I didn’t see him or Arion, but Arric and I were training with one of my father’s warriors.A few minutes passed and I wondered why we stopp
Cyran-“That is part of it, but I don’t know the rest of it. I can’t find anything in your memories about it, so I think it was something that happened before your time.” Trenton answered without looking at me.Since there was nothing, I could do about it now, I turned back to watch. We still needed to figure out how to stop the council, but so far all I was seeing was that my father hadn’t been the King I thought he was. Nor had he been the father I had admired.“Why don’t you stop this? As the council, aren’t you supposed to ensure that rules are followed? Isn’t this against the rules?” Little Cyran asked the council member who stepped forward to observe the younger version of Trenton who was being beaten with a whip.“Little boy, your father holds all the power. The council is here to enforce his rule and we all agree with him. It is because your father chose us as his council that we are able to do what we can to control things. Since you won’t remember this, I have no problem tel
