RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension Chapter 84
On the day the burial was to take place, Saint could not bring himself to attend. That morning had been the weakest he had ever been. Getting out of bed was a struggle for him. When he had awaken, he laid in bed with his eyes fixated on the ceiling for more than half a hour—his body limp. Despite the persistent knocking on the door, he didn't move from the initial position. And even when Lord Magnus' beckoning from the other end of the door clouded his thoughts for a moment, it didn't cause him to move. "Saint. I know that you can hear me, you might probably not be listening to me but I know that you can hear my voice from out here." Lord Magnus' voice resounded from the other end of the door. "We have been able to bury all the bodies, Saint. I'm sorry that things had to turn out this way.."There hadn't been any response. Lord Magnus, fully in the consciousness that the chances of Saint recovering from this and the things going back to his they been were very slim. "I'm truly so

A long silence ensued, and Saint's body went limp, his bulged eyes almost popping out of its sockets. But there wasn't a look of shock on his face and instead, his disbelief metamorphosed into anger. Obviously, he had not believed what Gerald had just said as it was obvious that he was saying all of this to act as a distraction for him. He couldn't believe the guts Gerald had to spew such nonsense from his mouth. "I don't care if this a joke to you or not..." Saint began, after he had found his words, "take your words back!" He ordered him, his whole body trembling with rage as if he had been set on fire. "I'm sorry, your majesty, but I cannot take back my words. It's true and I can prove that she's the one behind the killings." Gerald said, his gaze falling back onto the floor, his body shivering from all over. "You...." Saint bellowed and raised his curled his fist into the air. He stopped himself quickly before he landed the hit. "You dirty hater, take that back now!" Saint y

The air around Saint's mouth and nostrils grew hotter as he marched all the way on foot to the Zlate's villa, not caring about the distance he had to cover. Drake kept yelling at him to stop but Saint didn't listen and kept on marching further, making Drake to regret why he ever went after him. It was a bad idea because Drake could not keep up with Saint's pace. "Saint, please hold on now!" Drake let out in a raspy breath, hoping that Saint would slow down any time soon, but it was far from that. "Victoria!!" Saint kept yelling as he neared the Zlate villa, "Victoria get out here!" He yelled again. Drake could not help but wonder if Saint was losing his sanity as he drew closer to the villa, how was it possible that Victoria—if she was in, would hear him all the way from out here. Saint barged into the villa, not caring if he was welcomed or not. "Oh good heavens. Saint, thanks goodness that you're here." Lady Erica cried out as soon as she set her eyes on Saint. "Please come t

"Stay away from that woman, Saint. That's not Victoria!!" Drake warned him but Saint's thoughts had been clouded, preventing him from hearing anything asides Victoria's voice. He tried pulling her away from him but he felt weak. This woman didn't look a bit or sounded like Victoria but she smelt like her and felt like her when Saint's palm grazed her skin. "Saint, listen to me and step away from that woman, she isn't Victoria." Drake continued to warn him. Victoria let out a genuine smile without looking at Drake and instead, she pulled Saint closer to herself and kissed him on the cheek. "I know that you missed me, didn't you, hun?" She said and smacked her lips seductively at him Before moving on to caress his beard slightly. Saint was too stunned to speak and just kept on staring at her. He forced himself back to reality and peeled Victoria's arm off him even though what he wanted to do was to circle his hands around her waist and bridge the gap between them. "Victoria, I nee

His knees grew so weak under him that they could barely hold up his weight. He struggled to stand and even when his knees started to wobbel, he held onto the wall for support but knew that he would not be able to stay for that long. Victoria was not done talking, she was still yapping away with a rush of excitement at how she managed to fool everyone and make them think that they were still being tormented by another enemy when all along, it had been her who was responsible. Before Drake could sense what was happening, Saint had already collapsed to his knees. "Why?" He kept on crying as his head fell onto the floor, "why did it have to be you, Victoria? Why not someone else?" He cried out. "And what the fuck is that supposed to mean? You think I'm not a worthy opponent, don't you, Saint? Well why don't you get up and let me show you what exactly I'm capable of doing!" She said angrily as she rushed towards him and pulled him by the collar and was about to drag him up to his feet

"Where the hell are you, you dirty bitch. Stop being a coward and come out and fight me!!" Drake yelled, his eyes darting across the room, looking for any signs of her. He had managed to wrestle one of Victoria's daggers from her. He got himself badly injured in the process but he was able to get her to release one of the daggers. Victoria, seeing this, immediately went into hiding. "Come out here, you pig!" Stage screamed again. Victoria's laughter filled the room, causing Drake's stomach to tighten. He tried to follow the sound of the laughter but it seemed to be coming from all around the room. "Come out here, so I can slit your throat in half and feed your head to the vultures." Stage threatened but instead, Victoria's laughter doubled. "I'd love for you to do that, Drake." Victoria said and finally appeared from the shadows, holding her last dagger in hand. "Let's make this quick, shall we?" She intoned and made bone cracking noises with her neck. She had no interest in pr

Chapter 90"Come on now, let me help you to your feet." Saint spat out more blood into a corner and reached out a hand to help Drake. "Thanks!" Drake clasped his hand coated with blood into Saint's. "You look like you've lost a lot of blood, I'm so sorry that I could not help you out." Saint apologized genuinely. "It's fine, I completely understand you." Drake said, nodding his head slowly. "I never knew that she was strong, Saint, she doesn't even look it at all." Drake said as he stood to his feet but Saint didn't want to let go of him yet for fear that he might fall. "Yeah, I didn't know too. Thank you for delivering that final cut to her, I wished that I had been the one to do it myself." Saint said again, he couldn't bear the way his conscience was pricking at him for not wanting to fight Victoria even though he has sworn to himself that he would not show mercy on the one who had taken the lives of his people. Saint Watched as Drake took off his shirt to wipe the blood stai
RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension Chapter 91
It took both men the whole day to get to the dragon clan and not a single word had been exchanged between both men. Saint's guilt was eating him whole, while Drake was lost in his own thoughts. At intervals, Saint would wipe out an invisible sweat from his face and blow out some air or chew ok his fingers. He had apologized in his head to Gerald and his uncle time and time again over what he had said to them and how he had treated them. "Gosh, will they ever forgive me?!" Saint said to himself, his gaze falling onto the floor. "Who?" Drake asked him. "Hunh?" Saint asked, lifting his gaze slowly to meet his brother's. He didn't think that Drake had heard him talking to himself. "Who is never going to forgive you?" Drake clarified. "Oh, uhm..." Saint let out a loud sight before he would confess, "I had been too hard on them especially Gerald. I had been quick to declare punishment without even getting to listen to them. My own family—the people I call my own. I had casted them as

At the far end of the room, Vic stood with an amused smirk, her arms crossed. Her presence exuded power—dark and overwhelming. She tilted her head slightly as she observed Saint, her eyes gleaming with malice.“You finally came,” she said smoothly, stepping forward. “I was beginning to think you had abandoned them.”Saint ignored her taunt, his gaze locked onto Victoria. Her chest rose and fell faintly—she was alive, but barely. His fists clenched at his sides.“Let them go, Vic.” His voice was calm but laced with deadly intent. “This ends now.”Vic chuckled. “Oh, Saint. You always think you can swoop in like a hero and fix everything. But you don’t understand… I’ve already won.”"Drop the dagger, Vic...." Saint ordered again, ignoring what she had said, "don't make this any harder than it is." He added. "But it already is. Someone should offer him a chair already, the show is just about to start." She said and erupted into another round of laughter. Saint was about to launch himself

Saint cut through the thick branches with the sword Sayid had handed over to him. He was relieved that he was able to convince him to head back to the clan with the others. He had seen the disappointment in his face when he told him that he couldn't afford to take him any farther than they had already come, and it was far too dangerous for Sayid to continue the journey with him. It was getting darker by every passing minute and Saint knew that he had to get on with his journey quickly. For some reason unknown to the others, Saint could sense that Vic was close by and these creatures that he had just battled with had been a decoy to distract them from the actual mission they had embarked on. He continued cutting down more branches as he walked. The sensation around him grew, signalling to him that he was already closer to Vic than he thought. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and intensified the effort he used in cutting down more of the trees, clearing his path. The c

"I'm not moving an inch from here until I see Saint!" Gerald said stubbornly, adjusting his legs more comfortable on the ground but making sure that his legs didn't touch the creature. His eyes were still fixated on the creature. He had still not given up in trying to make out what it was and where they had come from. "Well then, suit yourself." Sayid said and started walking away. The stench that came from him was foul and immediately made the air unbearable to breathe. "Where are you going to, Sayid? We can't just leave Saint here all by himself!" Gerald said, his voice trembling with fear. "He's fine, you chicken heart, he just wants to set some things out for himself." Sayid said. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face both men. He had noticed that something wasn't right. "Where are all the soldiers?!" He asked. "Most of them are dead, I think the rest ran away!" Steward replied. "Including my men?!" Sayid asked angrily. "Every single one of them...""How pat

He tried to get a glimpse of his life flashing before him as his eyes were shut tight. He swallowed the bile in his throat for the umpteenth time and breathing heavily—the smell of death hissing past his nostrils. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his time had finally come, he could feel the power from the creature growing stronger by every passing minute and the hot drool from its mouth descending on him. "Spare my life, I beg of you!" Gerald clasped his palms in a form of a plea and raised it above his head. He hoped in his heart that the creature understood what he was saying. "Spare my life and I'd do anything that you want me to!" He said again and his hands fell weakly onto the floor, grabbing the soil in front of him. His whole body shivered from the cold that was seeping through his veins, never had he been faced with such situation. "I never should have left the car," he repeated. A loud shriek from the creature shook the leaves on the trees causing Gerald to c

Max wiped the perspiration off his forehead with his sleeve and dusted his hands. He was satisfied with how deep the hole was even though a pretty large part of it had not been his effort. "Come on, we need to bury him quickly before someone comes." Max said aloud. They had carried Max's lifeless body to an area where nobody would find it, not even Vic herself, except by some means of magic, but even if she would have, they would have all been long gone. "Certainly." The second guard replied and started breaking the rocks nearby that they were going to use in burying Drake. The plan was to level the spot they would bury Drake as much as possible and fill the place up with rocks. If anyone has plans of digging the place up, they would get a second thought—who buried people with rocks in than age. "It's all done." The second hairs let out, panting heavily. Max made sure to take a good look at Drake oneast time to make sure that he was actually dead. 'what if he wasn't?!' his thoug

It was at that point that Saint realised where they were. Why hadn't he sensed that something was wrong on time, it seemed as though a cloak had been removed from his eyes. "No one should step down from the car!" Saint ordered when the car had been brought to a halt. "Oh you don't need to tell me that twice. I already know what's going on....if you had just listened to me earlier..." Gerald grumbled and folded his hands. Despite the eerie environment that they were in, he felt no single iota of fear and instead disappointment toward Saint for not believing him earlier on. "I'm going to go check it out." Saint said and without giving them any chance to process their thoughts, he was already out of the car. Gerald's lips parted slightly in bewilderment. He wanted to say something but then hesitated and kept silent. "Aren't you coming, Gerald, I'm going with him." Sayid said, cutting through Gerald's line of thoughts. "Are you out of your damn mind?!" Gerald exclaimed. Sayid chuck

Not a single sound was heard from the warriors as they journeyed on, with Saint leading them on. Lord Magnus had offered to accompany them on the journey, but Saint had insisted that he stayed back so he wouldn't risk getting killed. Lord Magnus had tried to convince Saint that his conscience wouldn't let him stay back and he had to be by Saint's side, but Saint still insisted that he had to stay back with the clan. "Are you sure of where we heading to, Saint?" Gerald asked with confused brows as he noticed that they had been turning around in circles and it seemed like the fifth time they had passed through this particular route. Saint who had been struggling to keep back his confusion finally let out, "this has to be the route, it has to be here. Unless, it's either of two things; Vic is leading us into a trap or this isn't the route that leads to where she has asked that I come to get Drake and Victoria." "We have to turn back around, Saint. We can't continue embarking on a jou

They shook him fervently to make sure that he had been knocked out before they carried his body off of the floor and flung him into his cell. The first guard hurriedly locked the cell and watched Drake's body for a while. His brows creased as worry settled beneath his stomach when he noticed that something was deeply wrong. Drake's body wasn't moving and the regular rise and fall of his chest to induce that he was still breathing was absent. "Did you kill him?!" The first guard's voice trembled as he spoke, "i said did you kill him?!" He asked against in a loud tone but made sure it wasn't loud enough to be heard by Vic. "What do you mean by that, of course we did not!" Another guard replied this time. "Then why is he not breathing?!" The first guard's heart began to pound vigorously in his chest, "Move aside let's see." The other guards shoved him to the side as they made their way forward to see for themselves. They all stared with grave intensity, waiting for Drake's body to

"Make sure that he doesn't disturb me while I'm asleep!" Had been Vic's instructions to the guard before she left. Drake's screams continued to torment Victoria from where she sat in her cell, but she didn't let out a word of complaint, instead, she gritted her teeth and shifted her gaze for the first time on hours onto the floor, enduring the pain his loud screams brought to her ears. She wished that she could do something to make him quiet, he wasn't the only one going through the excruciating pain from the fluid. "Drake, please be quiet...." She tried to form the words, but she couple find the strength to do that, so she sat put and hoped in her heart that he would tire out soon, but that was far from the impossible, because this had been going on for days without any pause. "You just wait and see, Vic. The moment I get out of here, I'm going to slit your throat in half and burn this whole place down.!" Drake threatened still, while shaking the iron bars of the cell with all of
