RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension chapter 70
As soon as they got into the ancient Fortress, they found the strange man already seated at the far end of the chamber. Gerald pondered how he had gotten there so quickly in just a short period of time. "You haven't answered my question yet, mister. Who gave you that tattoo on your arm?" Saint Inquired from the strange man the moment he got into the fortress. "You two should have a seat first." The strange man said to them, gesturing toward the seats in front of him. "We have not come to jolly with you!" Saint said to the man rudely. He had been patient enough with the man and he wasn't going to take it anymore. "Where is Victoria and why do you have that tattoo on your arm?" Saint asked him again. "Why are you asking me so many questions at once. Which do you want me to answer first?" The strange man asked but Saint kept mute and continued staring at him with fury in his eyes. The strange man let out a loud sigh, while the corners of his lips curled up. "Alright, I'm going to

Chapter 72"I cannot believe that you did not mention anything about my brother to me!" Saint berated Gerald as they drove back home. "Tell me why you didn't mention that I had a brother when you knew that I had lost my memory!" Saint demanded, trying to keep his eyes on road as he drove. "The moment you healed me in that hospital and you took your rightful place as the leader of the dragon clan, I knew that you had regained all of your memories by some miracle." Gerald paused to catch his breath but Saint was not patient enough to wait for him pause mid sentence before speaking further. "That doesn't answer my question, Gerald. Why did you nor my uncle ever mention Drake to me?""Because we thought that you already knew. And how is it even possible that you regained all of your memories and didn't remember any of Drake's?""Well I guess I know!" Gerald answered his own question, "it was because the gods wanted it to be that way. They knew that Drake was a taboo and didn't want to

Practically all the members of the Zlate family—including her father had stormed out of the house and were now surrounding her, inspecting her for any wounds. "I'm fine. Just a few scratches but I'm fine." Victoria let out in agony as she struggled to peel herself away from her family's hugs and kisses, refusing to be babied anymore by them. "Where had you been all this while, Victoria. You had us all worried!" Lord Zlate exclaimed as he came forward. "I was kidnapped father, obviously you all didn't know that I had been kidnapped." Victoria said in a disappointed tone. "Victoria we did all we could to find you, we contacted the police, we sent out all our guards, but all our efforts were futile." Victoria's mother said, making attempt to hug Victoria but she stepped back. "I do not want to hear all of that. If Saint had not came to my rescue, who knows what would have happened to me?" Victoria said, almost breaking down into hot tears. "SAINT?!!!" Everyone chorused at the sam

The atmosphere was tense as they walked through the grand hall. Gerald and his uncle were already waiting for them, their expressions grim. Saint could feel the weight of their stares pressing against his shoulders."You cannot be serious, Saint," his uncle said at last, his voice was cold and unwavering as he spoke. "You brought him here? After all these years?"Saint clenched his fists. "He's my brother. My flesh and blood. And I will not abandon him."Gerald crossed his arms, his keen eyes never leaving Drake. "Do you even understand what you've done? You don’t just invite a discarded man back into the fold without consequence. There was a prophecy, Saint. Your father, your ancestors—they all agreed that he was dangerous.""A prophecy?" Saint scoffed. "You mean an old, baseless superstition?"His uncle’s face darkened. "You weren’t there when the Seer made the proclamation. You don’t know the weight of her words. She said that one of you would bring the clan to ruin, and the other

The following night, after dinner had just been served, and Drake had eaten to his fill. He informed Saint that he had something to say in front of everyone and it wasn't what Saint was expecting, he thought that Drake wanted to give a special thanks to everyone. He wanted to tell him that there was no need for him to be grateful for accepting him back and that's what any sane brother in his shoes would have done. "Alright then, you can go ahead." Saint nudged him on, scooping another spoon from his food. Drake bowed slightly before getting up from his chair. He took a step forward, his gaze unwavering as he spoke. “I pledge my allegiance to the Dragon Clan, to you, Saint. I will fight by your side, no matter the cost.”Saint watched him, measuring the weight of his words. He swallowed the food in his mouth and washed it down with a glass of wine before he finally spoke. “Why? After everything this clan has done to you, after everything they took from you, why would you stand wit

"Enter," Victoria called out to the maid. The door creaked open, and her personal maid, Liana, stepped in with a silver tray balanced in her hands. The aroma of roasted pheasant and freshly baked bread filled the air. Liana approached with the same quiet grace she always carried, setting the tray down on the small table beside Victoria."Your meal, my lady," Liana said, keeping her eyes lowered.Victoria barely spared a glance at the food. Instead, she watched as Liana turned to leave. "Wait."The maid froze, then turned back, her expression neutral. "Yes, my lady?"Victoria studied her for a moment, searching for an anchor in the sea of betrayals that surrounded her. She had no one to talk to, no one who truly understood what she had endured. Finally, she spoke. "Do you have a moment?"Liana hesitated. It was not common for a noblewoman to seek conversation with a servant, but she knew she could not refuse. "Of course, my lady."Victoria exhaled deeply and gestured for Liana to sit,

The whole night was completely silent—only the soft rustling of leaves in the gentle wind could be heard. Victoria took a deep breath as she stepped out of the house, the cool night air biting at her skin. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest, but she kept her steps light, glancing over her shoulder every few moments to ensure no one had followed her. The weight of her decision sat heavily in her chest, but she refused to falter. She had packed what she needed in a modest suitcase, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention. As much as she hated sneaking out like a thief in the night, she knew this was the only way.She reached her car, gripping the handle tightly as she prepared to open the door, but before she could, a familiar voice sliced through the night.“Going somewhere?”Her breath hitched, and she turned abruptly, her eyes widening in shock. Standing a few feet away was Saint with his arms crossed over his chest and his dark eyes locking onto hers with an unreadab

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
