Am really a Dragon!

Vows on The Patio #1

His eyes had no look of compassion, not empathy, only a playful look, and a curved-up smile indicating he was enjoying all of this.

"Wow!!! Such a domineering spirit is hard to find, You bit your tongue to commit suicide? Amazing, thumbs up for you little girl. Now, I truly want to see how much you can have that look of disgust and hatred in your eyes. I truly want..."

Without any warning, he flicked his index finger on my head, A sparking ' Dtah ' Sound rang off to show how much force he used, though it seemed he did not put a bit of strength behind it,

'It seems I overlooked something' I try to sense my state of deposition and pales in acquiescence, my tongue was back as new, he had used a sort of healing power when he finger-flicked my head.

'I can't even die when I want to again? Am doomed!' With this thought, I resigned to my fate and spoke in a soft voice, "I-I want you to swear to hide me in whatever house you have until I die! I don't want to be seen by anyone, I don't want my Mom to be distressed. Promise me!"

"Sure, sure... I think you've missed something,"

"Wait," If he didn't let me finish, he would probably just add a death verdict to my plight. If I wasn't going to kill the warrior, I should at least deal him a hard blow. "You have to take a Vow. If we link our souls, I would gladly follow you. If not, I'll burn myself with the last energy I might have when you release me, I'll find a way, somehow to pass your information to my mother, and believe me, she will hunt you."

"Don't try to put on a front with me, it's too late for threats — wait!!! Oh, by the gods! You ARE the Queen, so of course, you would know some inner details. Woman, lady luck is truly smiling on me today. Quick! —"

"Don't even think about it! Until you truly swear by your Life Power, to sign the contract with me, I rather die than tell you anything."

I fixate my eyes on him to see his next reaction. If he accepts the contract, it would be in my favor, I had made some loopholes when speaking just now, if I use them, it wouldn't be unlikely to make him pay a thousand times for this humiliation. But if he doesn't... only the gods would help me, I really don't want to die.

"What say you!? Do you want to chicken out because of this! A fool! If you think I would just give up and bare my nakedness to you, then it seems you think like a pig!" Words that I've never said flew out freely. I need to anger him enough to contemplate the words I spoke before if he finds the flaw, then an afraid...

"You're noisy you know?" He finally commented, his eyes flashed with a wise look as he stared out to the distance. He did not answer after that word but took some steps away from me, his eyes still tightened on a vacant space.

"Oho? I understand now, Ha! What luck. Girl! I'll swear only after you make yours with the quotes, my mother's lifespan, and my ancestors' graves." He spoke with a sudden smirk.
