Chapter114. Kiara- The dragon Queen
Kiara’s eyes flickered open.
She took a deep breath, feeling the cool air of the dragon realm fill her lungs for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. Her senses slowly started to awaken, and she became aware of the world around her, slowly but steadily.
At first, she felt disorientated, not quite sure where she was or how long she had been gone. She blinked her eyes, trying to clear her vision, and took a few deep breaths, trying to steady herself. Slowly but surely, her memories started to return, and she remembered her fiery end and her eyes popped open with a jolt.
At that realisation, she lets out a low, guttural growl, her anger building as she remembered the betrayal that led to her death. Her scales, once a vibrant shade of emerald green, started glinting with an intense red hue, a reflection of her simmering rage.
As she slowly roses to her feet, her powerful muscles flexing, she stretched out her wings, feeling the weight of what seemed like, centuries of sleep falling away. She tests each limb carefully, feeling the power coursing through her veins once more, and the feeling was invigorating.
As the Petals dropped off, one after the other, she softly stepped out on the ground. As the stalk, clothed her, she let out a deafening roar, the sound echoing across the landscape, announcing her return and her intention to reign once more.
Her roar, made everyone around, take a back foot. Even Master looked a little worried at the outburst of her immense power.
She was a dragon, reborn. A feat that was as unheard of as the sun rising with the moon.
There was no telling if she was the same person or she just shared the same face with the former Dragon Queen.
Just then, as if nullifying all their fears, Damian came flying from the palace with his care takers, closely following behind. Kiara’s heart soared as she saw her son Damian rushing towards her. She swooped down, her wings wrapping around him, pulling him in close. She nuzzled her snout against his, feeling the warmth of his breath, and tears started to trickle down her face.
“Mommy, is that really you?” Damian asked, his voice trembling with emotion.
“Yes, my dear boy,” Kiara replied, her voice choked with tears. “I have returned to you.”
Damian threw his arms around her neck, squeezing her tightly. “I missed you so much, Mommy. I thought I’d never see you again,” he sobbed as everyone watched, mesmerised.
The lad was seperated from his biological mother from the moment he was born, or so they thought.
Kiara rubbed her snout against his cheek, trying to soothe him. “Shh, my little one. I’m here now. And I will never leave you again.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Damian pulled back, his eyes locking onto hers. “But how? How did you come back to life? And why does your face look different?” he asked, confusion etched on his face.
The crowd fell silent at that question. Kiara’s face was just like what it used to be before. Was the little Damian mistaking his biological mother for his foster one?
Kiara’s eyes softened, and she took a deep breath, preparing to tell him something.
” I will tell you everything Damian. I promise. But I will need our time and place to do that. ”
She pointed towards the on looking crowd.
Damian looks up at her and then threw himself into her embrace once more. “I don’t care how it happened. I’m just so happy to have you back,” he said, his voice muffled against her chest.
Kiara held him tightly, never wanting to let him go. “I love you so much, Damian. I promise I will always be with you, no matter what,” she said, her voice full of conviction.
Damian pulled back again, looking up at her with teary eyes. “I love you too, Mommy,” he said, before wrapping his arms around her neck once more.
The two of them stay like that for what seemed like hours, holding each other close, tears streaming down their faces. The joy of their reunion was overwhelming.
But then suddenly Kiara looked up at Master and asked,
” Where is my husband? Where is your Dragon Lord? Where is my Draco? “
