The Daughter of Qye

Chapter 27 - The Night (3)

“Sister, you need to stop,” Fabin stands in front of Elleryn trying to stop her, his eyes in search of any recent or current changes within her aura, but the minute he catches Elleryn’s eyes he flinches, Fabin was about to step away when he saw Ladon sends him a glare, Fabin could only sighs and keeps his stance, desperately trying to look unwavering.

“Move,” Elleryn whispered, voice cutting through the air sharp like a knife, her eyes that once had a hint of blue has now turned all white, veins bulging around her eyes with sharp sound screeching dangerously, Fabin could feel a powerful aura coming from her sister, he trembles in fear of his own sister.

Invisible forces had shoved aside Fabin and pushed him against the wall, his body turned paralyzed, but it’s not harmful to him. She sends a glare towards Ladon and Kyzen before her eyes fall upon Rydan, she turns tense upon finding Rydan gaze, but she immediately turns around and rushes her step once again.

“I’m okay, paralyzed but okay,” Fabin informed, hopeless etched on his faze. Kyzen rolled his eyes and uttered a spell, freeing him at once. Rydan was about to run after Elleryn, but Ladon stopped him, gripping Rydan’s arm tightly.

“She is unstable at the moment, you will get hurt standing too close to her,” Ladon instructed. Rydan wants to shout he doesn’t care, all he wants to do is to stand by her side and calm her, but he complies anyway.

“We can’t let her,” Kyzen uttered, confusing Rydan.

Kyzen let out deep sigh, before he explained further “she will call them, Genieve’s parents, the sky dragon of Yurrilia,” Kyzen stated, his steps rushing after his sister, followed by the rest of them.

“What happens if she did that?” Rydan asked Ladon, Ladon took a deep breath before looking at Rydan’s eyes.

“There are many possibilities, but one of them would be avenged towards Suttern. As the one who held this celebration, there’s a chance they would blame Suttern for lack of securities, this could lead to war,” Ladon simply explained.

Even though the matter wasn't simple at all.

Elleryn rushes her step towards the forest, she can’t teleport if she wants to summon Genieve’s parents at the moment.

Her head was filled with words, the utterance from her dragon, Qeera.

'Kill.'

'He didn’t listen.'

'So kill, kill the King.'

'And show to the world what you are capable of.'

'Show them.'

Qeera and Elleryn have different personalities, Qeera was quick with a decision while Elleryn always chooses to think it over. Her dragon is always blunt and intimidating while Elleryn is always caring and soft, that's why it's possible for Qeera to utter and send those words to her mind, for she is always like this. But now that she happens to witness her sister’s very own dragon had taken her last breath in front of her, she is now considering all those words Qeera said.

Perhaps it’s possible.

To show everyone what she is actually capable of.

Elleryn walks towards the middle of the forest, she takes a deep breath then looking at the sky with a hand outstretched towards it, she begins to whisper in dragon language.

'I call you, for there is something I need to say'

She keeps saying those sentences three times before a swirl of black clouds begins to hover above her and comes down two majestic dragons from the sky.

Genieve’s mother, a dragon called Vierna, white with a line of blue around her body, and Genieve’s father, Qries, an all-black dragon.

Both are looking sorrowful.

For both of them could feel it, the death of their daughter.

And Qeera’s word ringing in her head,

'Kill.'

Dragons origins are divided into four, earth, sky, sea and fire. Each has a different power and personality, the Sea Dragon of Soryen Sea is known to have mind-controlling power and much more straightforward than the rest of them.

Sky Dragons of Yurillia are known for their power to control the skies and their calm demeanor. Earth Dragons of Griken are well-known for their abilities to shake the ground and control animals on land and known for their soft and calculating mind.

Fire Dragons of Vyxel are the kind of dragons that creatures want to stay out of, for they are the cruelest and the scariest out of them, having the abilities to control the spirit into doing anything they want and are known to be really short-tempered when pushed. They all live on their land, unless they choose to live with another creature.

When chosen by dragons, the life of the chosen one and its dragon are changed afterward.

They will share one mutual goal, and if one of them doesn't want it, the other will never do it.

Perhaps why deep down Elleryn could not blame Genieve for saving her, because it was permitted by Ezana, If Ezana’s has the slightest hesitation on her mind, Genieve wouldn’t be able to move and she is only able to move because she wants to. Not because Ezana has forced her to jump and risk her life in front of Elleryn.

To die and save her.

Unlike Ezana’s, Elleryn’s dragon is a sea dragon. She can’t live inside Suttern because it’s surrounded by forest, that is the sole reason why Qeera couldn’t stand by her side and protect her from harm, though Elleryn’s wouldn’t allow Qeera to dash in front of her to save her.

The only way for Elleryn to contact her dragon is through her mind, sending messages and uttering words, perhaps seeing through her eyes, just like how Qeera can see through Elleryn eyes.

They are separate entities, but not entirely.

She can’t, even in a million years to imagine the time when Qeera takes her last breath.

She just can’t.

Because being chosen by a dragon takes way more than just accepting them, your life will intertwine, bound together by invincible lines, if one is hurt, the other would feel it. If one dies, the other would turn disabled.

It's a lot different than a werewolf.

And Elleryn doesn’t want to imagine what will become of Ezana now.

'Kill.'

'You need to kill.'

'Protect Ezana, and avenged Genieve.'

'Kill.'

Qeera keeps muttering those words, even when Vierna and Qries have stood in front of her, with sad eyes on their faces. With trembling fingers, Elleryn touch Vierna with her right hand and Qries with her left sending them what happened just now, what lead to their daughter death.

“I…I’m sorry,” Elleryn stuttered, she could feel tears stinging her eyes and her body trembles from everything, everything that unfolded itself.

'It’s not your fault.'

Vierna whispers, forcing a smile towards her, but Elleryn shakes her head, still feeling guilty.

“I should’ve convinced the King, I should’ve done something, I-” Elleryn begins to sob and her heart clenched at the way Vierna looked at her. As if she already let it all go, everything that's done is already done.

'You know a dragon can’t move without its chosen consent. It was approved by Ezana, and Genieve did it willingly.'

Qries is the one who talks this time, his face looks somber, but Elleryn knows that he is trying hard not to shows his sadness. After all, minutes just now, his daughter had taken its last breath.

And there’s a feeling forming inside Elleryn’s heart,

Guilt had consumed her heart entirely.
