" You are a coward and a looser!
That's all that you are! "
Lucian wasn't talking. He was there with an intention to fight.
He was roaring on top of his voice at the top of the tallest roof in town.
I watched around to make sure no human had seen us in such a state.
Lucian had dropped out of nowhere while I was walking back home with some groceries in my hand.
He held my throat and flew straight up from there as the grocery packets fell on the footpath.
He flew till we were on the tallest tower and on the tallest point.
He pushed me with both his hands and demanded once more,
" How dare you Draco? How did you so easily replace Kiara after her death?
You are busy being a husband to that human for so many days. Did you even try being Kaira's husband for even once? "
He pushed me this time with ferocity. With the strength of not his fist but his beast.
I never thought I would find myself in this situation. Lucian, was standing before me, anger and disappointment etched into every line of his face. And I couldn't say I blamed him this time.
For too long, I have been preoccupied with Liana. A mere human from the world outside of our own. I have been neglecting my duties as the dragon lord, leaving Lucian to handle everything on his own. It was never my intention to shirk my responsibilities, but I found myself drawn to Liana and the world she comes from.
I had forgotten when and how I had become so in tuned with her and her likes.
Now, as I faced Lucian , I realised how foolish I had been. Our kingdom was in dire need of leadership and guidance, and I had been failing my people. I could see the look of disgust in Lucian's eyes, and it cut me deeply. He had always been the responsible one, and I had always been the carefree one.
My power and pride came from my carefree self. I never cared about others. I did what my heart liked.
But my recklessness had gone too far this time.
As Lucian and I faced off, I could feel the heat building between us. Our scales were standing on ends, and our eyes were locked in a fierce gaze. I couldn't help but wonder how it came to this - how two brothers who were driven so far apart.
But even as I stood there, facing Lucian's wrath, I knew that I had to make things right. I had to take responsibility for my actions and do what needed to be done to protect our kingdom. I may have lost sight of my duties as the dragon lord, but I will not lose sight of my duty to my people. And if that meant facing the full force of Lucian's anger, then so be it.
I soar through the skies of the modern human world, searching for Lucian. But as I approached him, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in my chest.
We were brothers, born of the same plant and we had grown up together, exploring the world and learning our powers side by side.
But as we grew older, he both fell in love with the same dragoness who was the perfect wife material for myself. Her name was Kiara, and she was the most beautiful dragon we had ever seen.He might had known as well but we never talked about it before.
I knew he was madly in love with my wife.
At first, we tried to put our feelings aside and remain close as brothers. But as time went on, the tension between us grew until it finally boiled over into a fierce competition.Though I doubt if it was all for Kiara. Lucian ahd always been jealous if me. But I failed to understand for what twisted reason. What was it that I had but he didn't?
I knew that Lucian loved Kiara deeply, but nobody could help how Kiara felt. And when she chose me over him, I could see the hurt and betrayal in his eyes.
I could not bring myself to directly confront my brother about what had happened, but I could feel the resentment building between us as we fought.
Without warning, Lucian charged at me, his claws slashing through the air. I responded in kind, meeting his attack with a burst of flame from my jaws.
Our battle raged on, with each of us unleashing our most powerful attacks. But I could feel the guilt and shame weighing me down, sapping my strength and making it hard to focus.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Lucian fell to the ground, defeated. I landed beside him, exhausted and battered.
As I looked at my fallen brother, I felt a deep sadness wash over me. I knew that our rivalry had come between us, and that we may never be able to repair the damage that had been done.
I knew why he had come to the human world this time. I knew the state of our kingdom was not his only concern. He had come for Liana.
He wanted to take that away from me.
He hated knowing that I was moving on.
He hated seeing me smile after Kiara's death.
He had always blamed me for her death.
He almost accused me of her murder.
Perhaps he was there to make sure Liana did not suffer a similar fate.
But I also knew that I could not give up the love that Liana and I shared. It was a complicated and painful situation, but I hoped that someday, Lucian could find it in his heart to forgive me.
I was about to take his second chance at love as well. I could see how he watched Liana.
I could see how he longed for her.
Perhaps he found a glimpse of Kiara in her just like myself.
