Aiden paused for a moment as he looked down at the empty plate before looking up at his parents with wide eyes. "What do you mean?" He asked nervously as he wiped his mouth with a napkin and cleared his throat."We've heard all about your adventures in a magical place so far and we'd love to hear more details if you don't mind sharing," Rydel said as he gave his son a warm smile.Aiden looked over at his mother who was watching him closely, her expression one of curiosity as she waited for his response.'They are slowly revealing their true intentions but I can't just fall into their trap yet. Not until I find out exactly what they plan to use me for.' Aiden thought as he tried to come up with an answer."Well... I guess that depends on how much you actually know about me..." Aiden muttered as he rubbed his chin with his fingers.Clarissa laughed softly as she patted her husband's shoulder. "I think Aiden is trying to tell us something here." She teased playfully as she looked up at h
After Aiden finished dressing, he went downstairs to join his mother and father in the kitchen."So how do you like my cooking?" Clarissa teased as she glanced over at her son from where she was standing next to the stove."It smells delicious," Aiden replied honestly as he sniffed the air."Well, I hope you like it because I made enough food for all our staff to take home!" Clarissa laughed lightly as she started preparing the ingredients for the meal."Is there anything I can help with?" Aiden offered as he watched his mother work."No, dear. You just sit back and relax while we take care of everything." Clarissa told him as she placed a plate full of steaming hot food on the table.Aiden sat down across from his parents as he dug into the dish of spaghetti with meatballs. The taste of the sauce reminded him of a certain someone's cooking.'This really does taste like mom's cooking!'"This is really good! It tastes exactly like I remembered." Aiden praised as he ate another forkful
After what felt like hours of focusing, he heard a knock on his door."Come in!" Aiden called out as he stood up from his meditation pose.He had been expecting the appearance of the name he had called while speaking to the inn owner.'He finally shows up, huh?' Aiden scoffed and chuckled at the thought.The door creaked open and revealed a girl standing in the doorway. She appeared to be around seventeen years old with long black hair that reached her lower back. Her eyes were large and blue with thick lashes that curled upwards slightly at the ends.She wore a white shirt and brown pants underneath a leather jacket that matched her boots."You finally showed up," she spoke with a sigh as she walked inside and shut the door behind herself.'Shadow King!' Aiden raged internally as he glared at the girl."Did you enjoy the little gift I had given you?" The girl smirked as she leaned against the wall next to the door."You're the one who sent those puppets after me," Aiden growled as he
Draed leaped down from above and landed right in front of the Shadow King. It opened its mouth wide and unleashed a massive blast of lightning at him."I told you not to underestimate me. This is my realm!" The Shadow King sneered as he raised his arms to block the attack.Draed's wings spread out and he shot upward into the sky. He circled and came back down to land on top of the Shadow King.Aiden watched from the sideline for a while before pulling out his weapon, thinking back on his parents' sacrifice, and the family that he intended to return to."There is no way I would abide by being trapped in this realm! Not even for an eternity!" Aiden growled as he charged forward with his sword held high."Just die!!! Then your dragon will be mine!" The Shadow King screamed as he ran at Aiden.The two clashed together in midair as they fought desperately to gain the upper hand. Aiden managed to push him away slightly, but he quickly recovered and slammed his fist into Aiden's stomach.He
Gregg and Risa turned around to see Aiden standing there with a smile on his face."Aiden..." Risa gasped as she stared at him with an unspoken longing, "Are... are you real?""Of course I am." Aiden laughed as he approached them.He placed his hand on Risa's cheek and ran his fingers through her hair, "I'm sorry that I've been gone for so long."Risa trembled under his touch, her heart felt tight in her chest. She didn't want to believe that it was really him until she saw it with her own two eyes."Gregg? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating or some sort of trick being played on us." Risa pleaded as she looked at Gregg with wide-open eyes.Gregg took a step forward and smacked Aiden with a notepad, "What the hell is wrong with you?! How did you even get in here?!""You're welcome." Aiden laughed as he rubbed his side where Gregg hit him, "I figured if I came in during one of your meetings, no one would notice me.""Yeah, because everyone thinks that you're dead." Gregg sighed as he
The next day, Aiden wakes up early in the morning. He stretches and yawns before sitting up on the bed. His eyes darted over to where Risa had been sleeping only moments ago. The blankets were neatly folded at the foot of the bed. There wasn't a trace of her presence left behind.He got dressed quickly and headed downstairs to make them some breakfast."Morning, sleepyhead." Risa greeted as she placed a plate full of pancakes in front of Aiden."Good morning," Aiden replied as he took a sip from his cup of coffee, "How long have you been up?""All through the night," Risa replied as she sat down across from Aiden.Aiden's eyes doubled in size as he stared at Risa while he chewed on a piece of pancake. She still looked beautiful as when he saw her last. Her hair was tied back in a loose and messy ponytail, and she wore a large shirt that he recognized as his own."You're wearing my shirt," Aiden muttered as he pointed to Risa's chest."It's a little big for me, but it makes comfortable
[R-18]That night, Aiden sat on the edge of the bed while Risa brushed her hair out in front of the mirror. He could hear her humming softly as she did so."How do I look?" Risa asked as she spun around and faced him."Beautiful," Aiden replied with a wide grin, "You always look beautiful."Risa let out a soft giggle before she looked back at her reflection. She ran her hand across her forehead and down to her jawline as she studied how she looked."Do you think this is okay?" Risa asked as she grabbed hold of the neckline of her shirt and lifted it slightly.Aiden's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Risa's exposed chest. Her breasts were round and firm, and they jiggled slightly every time she moved. Aiden swallowed hard as he felt his mouth go dry."I think it's perfect." Aiden managed to reply as he cleared his throat, "It looks really good on you."Risa giggled again before she pulled off the shirt and tossed it onto the floor. She reached behind her back and unfastened the cla
As Aiden left the cozy confines of their temporary residence, he was greeted by the morning breeze sweeping down the streets of Draenor. With one last glance at the quaint house he had spent countless nights in, he began the journey toward his inevitable confrontation with Mr. Smith.–––––––––––'This should be the address.' Aiden thought to himself as he looked up at the building in front of him. He found himself standing in front of Mr. Smith's home, a grand and opulent structure that bristled with a sense of elegance and prestige. It stood out from the neighboring buildings, its beige stone facade carved with elaborate designs. Columns flanked the entrance, the intricate patterns on their bases glowing in the morning light. The front porch, wide and welcoming, held an ornate swing, cushioned seats, and pots of vibrant, exotic flowers. The house was eerily reminiscent of his home back in Collow; the same grandeur, the same sense of peaceful solitude, and the same memories etched
