What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

I wore my black hoodie. My favorite one.

But I didn’t wear it because it was my favorite. I wore it along with a black cap, black face mask and black sunglasses. It was to make sure that I was totally unidentifiable.

Had this been just a few months ago, I would have rolled over laughing over my deeds.

I was walking on tip toes, in the middle of the night, with a dagger in my hand. But this was not the weirdest part.

I was headed to a much weirder place. I was headed to the one famous psychic in our town. Widely known as Mystic Joe.

No need to judge me. Who in their right senses, goes to those fraudsters for a solution. That had been my attitude too. But I needed to save a dying Dragon, so I was not left with much options.

The stairs that lead me to the room were lit with tiny neon lights. It made me cringe more.

” Come in! ”

a voice called just before I was about to knock.

I pushed the door. The inside of the room was filled with scented smoke.

I closed my eyes and immediately took a step back. The smoke was burning my eyes.

” Oh! sorry about that. Please come inside. It was my mistake. ”

The room was crystal clear the next moment I opened my eyes after hearing his apology.

Magic! Duh!

Probably some cheap trick. But he was at present my only hope in this human world. I was atleast hoping for some answers to proceed or build on.

” Please sit down Lady Liana! ”

the way he addressed me was weird as well.

” Do you know what this is! ”

I went straight to the point. I dumped the Dagger on his table.

If he was able to identify it he would be of help. Otherwise I was out of the place.

He stared at it. Then looked back at me.

” How did you get your hands on it? It had been sealed away a very long, long time ago. It is highly toxic. Not for us. We are the only creatures able to handle it. ”

I was holding my breath. Anticipating. Then finally heaved a sigh of relief.

His words did imply he was knowledgeable. And I could rely on him for advise. He was not a total quack.

” How can somebody who has been stabbed by this be treated? ”

another to the point enquiry.

His eyes shot up at my question.

” There is someone hurt by this? Where? ”

He literally stood up and started looking. Here and there. As if I had brought the patient along but he was hiding.

” Ummm, he isn’t here. He is locked up… Umm, at the police station! ”

” WHAT! Since when did they start arresting Dragons! ”

He knew about them. Fantastic. And his facial expressions implied he was in awe with them.

” It’s a bit complicated. My mother got him arrested because she has a grudge against me. And he could not fight them off because his powers have weakened after being stabbed by this dagger! ”

I hoped I was not giving away too much information.

Draco would kill me the moment he got out, if that was to be the case.

” Really! ”

he shook me with sparkling, excited, puppy eyes.

” Are you telling me the truth. There is a Dragon locked up in my town?

I had been telling them always. But nobody believed me. I told them about their world beyond ours. They called me a fraudster.

But never mind. Where is this Dragon. I must see him. ”

” Umm, I can arrange that. But he really has a bad temper. If I go back again without being able to arrange a bail process… ”

” What did they lock him for? I mean his charges? ”

” Umm, there are a few but they wouldn’t let him go because of his identity crisis. He naturally has no documentation and that is what he are pinning him with. ”

He nodded.

“That can be fixed. But it’s a little expensive. ”

” Money is not a problem here. Tell me the solution. ”

” In that case, do you have his photograph? ”

I unlocked the gallery and started scrolling through it fast.

Luck was on my side.

” Here! will this do? ”

” Ummm, ” he stared hard at the angle.

” It’s difficult but I will make it happen. You wait here. I will need to make some phone calls. ”

I sat, dangling my feet on one of the high chairs that were stacked at the corner.

He was probably gone for more than three hours.

I had fallen asleep in the desk. Woken up. Drank the left over juice on his table and then went back to sleep again.

” Lady Liana! ”

his happy, excited voice startled me up from my dream.

” yeah! ”

I stretched and yawned.

” Here! How does it look?”

He showed me an identity card.

Draco’s face was photo shopped into it.

He looked like a Greek God. Flawless.

The name read Drake Drakon.

What the heck.

“Why did you change his name? His name is Draco! ”

He looked at me with surprise.

” Dragons have names as well? ”

then he looked me up and down.

” What is your relationship with this creature anyway? Are you a pet? A slave? And he is your master? ”

I felt like slapping across his face. But gulped the ange down.

” Relax… Liana relax. He might know about the antidote for Draco’s pain. There is no point in killing him. Not yet!”

I literally vowed to wack his tongue out of it’s socket and push it inside his pocket.

But I smiled.

” Something like that. Or may be something different.

Now let me first clarify, we would not get into trouble for forging this. Right? ”

I indicated the identity card.

” No chance at all. It’s done from the best in this trade.

Let’s go save a dragon girl.

My life is complete today .

I would not mind if the earth swallows me after that Or the sky drinks me up! ”

I cringed again and stepped out.
