Leon looked at Evie. For some reason, the look in Leon's eyes made Evie smile to herself. It was obvious to her that Leon wanted her to just let Zanya join them without the need to show off her skills. And Evie knew it was not due to Leon being afraid. It was just that he was extremely reluctant, and Evie found him quite adorable at the moment. Even though his expression did not show anything at all, Evie could tell from the extra stiff set of his shoulders and how he was standing so still where he…-

As the group was finishing their dinner, Evie spoke up. "Tomorrow," she started as she looked at everyone, "after I call for the seventh dragon, I think we can prepare to leave this place." The men fell silent for a moment but eventually they all nodded. They were all ready to leave now as well. "Your wish is our command, Princess. We will abide with whatever your decision may be." Samuel said and Evie smiled slightly. "Thank you." Evie felt relieved. Before dinner, while she was taking her bath,…

Evie was biting her lower lip in frustration as she and Zanya landed on the bridge. Another fail! All could see that her eyes were red rimmed, and she was trying to control her tears from spilling over. "What am I doing wrong?" she said, looking on the ground. "Why are they not listening to me? Was it because they think I am not worthy? Crimson listened to me, but why are all these male ones not doing the same?" she complained, trying not to burst out in frustration. She had realized now that the…

A dawn of a new day saw Evie heading out from the dark castle with renewed determination on her clear and beautiful face. Clad in a faerie's dress that Zanya had brought over the night before for her to change into, Evie did not look quite so human anymore. It was a silken white gauzy material that hugged her figure beautifully from her chest to her hips before flaring out in a stunning twirl, as though she were walking amidst the frothy sea waves instead of just the flat ground. The sleeves were of the…

Once again, Evie had another hard time in controlling Titian. This dragon was just as wild as Fir, if not even more so. Though Evie had to smile as she thought of how Titian's temper was as similar as his colour. As Evie reflected on her experiences so far, even though the dragons responded to her call and allowed her to touch them and even let her ride on their backs, they seemed to be refusing her orders no matter how much she tried to concentrate on giving the instructions and attempt to control them…

"What's wrong?" Levy replied. "I am simply going to teach them how to treat a lady nicely – as how they deserved to be treated." "You're going to teach them how to flirt and become a creep like you." Zolan quickly replied with a snort. "Geez, sir Zolan… here we go again, didn't I tell you many times before? We handsome men should not be called creeps. We should be called seductive –" "You're the only one thinking that way. Now shut up and go call Samuel to come over. It's time for dinner."…

Zanya stopped talking and started collecting the fruits and Leon crouched down as he too, started piling the fruits in his arms to help her carry them all back to the castle. Zanya then really looked at him properly for the first time and she realized that his brows were thick and dark, his hair were even darker than his brows as it was wet. As if he noticed her eyes scrutinizing him closely, Leon spoke without averting his gaze away from the fruits he was picking. "Apologies for what I did earlier,"…

Evie woke up from that dream and she immediately buried her face into her palms. She stayed sitting in that position for a long while as she breathed in and out many times and tried to calm herself. These dreams again! Every time she had them, it always threw her heart into havoc and her plans would waver as she would be so very tempted to drop everything and go chasing after him. However, she knew better than to do that. Thus, after calming herself down, she would be able to reorientate her mind and…

Slowly, Leon loosened his grip on her wrist and finally he let her go. He cleared his throat as he apologetically averted his gaze away. His angry expression softened. "Forgive me, I thought you were trying to run away." His voice was gentle and apologetic as well. Zanya loosened up after hearing his apology and she stepped a few steps away. "It's alright, I guessed I'm to blame too for not letting anyone know where I'm going." Leon watched her flew up and then she started picking fruits. The vampire…

Zanya's eyes grew wide as the vampire that she remembered who was named Leon suddenly seized her by the arms and pinned her against the tree trunk behind her. In his rush, Leon's action of pinning Zanya down as he pushed her against the tree was a little rougher than he had intended, thus she winced as she was held down. She had early on noticed his presence since she crossed the castle's bridge, but she had ignored it since she understood that the vampires might have decided to send this one as a scout…
