Chapter 225: Nothing more, Nothing less (Ch.225)
Neveah stood, watching as narx took his dragon form with the ease of mastery, his ruby red scales catching the rays of sunlight.
He stretched his wings out, grunting quietly as his large orbs moved to settle on Neveah.
For a mont, Neveah hesitated. Before this ti, it could be said that riding narx was in a situation where they had no other options left.
That way, Neveah could still say it would an nothing, but this ti was different... this ti, this would be her own choice.
This would an complete and absolute acceptance of narx as her dragon.
Though at this ti, it would an nothing more...it would also an nothing less.
’He is the best choice for us, Veah. We are in need of a bond to restrain my bloodthirst... narx is the one I trust the most.’ Neveah’s wolf reminded her.
Though Neveah and her wolf were one entity, they did not always have the sa opinion and it was the sa now.
While Neveah understood her wolf’s judgent and she did trust narx as much as her wolf did, he was not the one Neveah trusted the most...
’Yet the one you trust the most loves another, in the end...we will be the only ones hurt. In the end, we are always the ones hurt.’
’Do not allow your resolve falter, we cannot afford to give our heart wrongly or even at all.’ Neveah’s wolf reminded her.
Neveah pursed her lips, it was okay to her that Xenon’s heart belonged to another, she could still cope with that.
What she could not bear was the fact that all along, Neveah believed her presence could help his wild haze.
That believe had given Neveah a sense of purpose but she now realized it was not her at all... just who Neveah reminded Xenon off.
Which ant Neveah was of no help to Xenon,
’He mistook us to be another and it only worsened his wild haze. Just like what had happened, we will only confuse his mind and cause him more hurt.’ Neveah’s wolf reminded with a quiet sigh.
Neveah could not argue with her wolf, if so... if she would ultimately beco the cause of pain, Neveah would much rather she had never t Xenon.
’You are right. I will think only of what is best for us... that is the best for him too.’ Neveah thought back to her wolf.
narx and Neveah had co to an understanding and Neveah knew for certain she could rely on narx... Neveah knew better than to hope for more.
This much was already enough... this much would have to do.
Neveah fird her resolve and walked over to narx, taking off her gloves, she placed a hand on his upper limb.
As Neveah’s hand made contact with narx’s scales, his familiar voice filled her mind.
"Our Liege summons , I will send you back first." narx thought to Neveah.
Neveah nodded as she climbed up to narx’s back, settling down in a comfortable position.
This was not Neveah’s first ti mounting a dragon so it was much easier than the first instance.
"Ready?" narx thought to Neveah.
"Yes, let’s go." Neveah consented.
narx lunged forwards, leaping up into the sky in an agile motion, his wings beating against the wind and taking them up higher.
When they had reached a suitable altitude, narx shot forwards.
"It took an hour to get out this far, how long would it take to get back to Dragon Keep?" Neveah asked narx curiously.
"We are already here." narx thought to Neveah in amusent.
Neveah’s eyes widened in surprise, true to narx’s words, Dragon Keep beca visible in the next mont and Neveah could have sworn it had only been a few minutes.
"Flight is a great difference from what you are accustod to, you will get used to it." narx thought to Neveah as he made his descent on the landing platform.
narx’s landing was swift and Neveah was still stunned by how quickly they had arrived when a familiar voice called out to her.
"Veah!" Davina called and Neveah passed a glance over to see Davina erge to the landing platform.
"Go on ahead, I will co find you after I see our liege." narx thought to Neveah.
"It went from my liege to our liege really quick... whoever said I agreed to be roped in with that..." Neveah grumbled beneath her breath as she got off narx’s back, but she trailed off at the end.
narx snorted in amusent as he gestured with his large head for Neveah to go in and then took off again, heading to the highest level.
Neveah stared after him for a mont before she turned to face Davina.
"Scales, Veah! I have not set eyes on you for weeks! And what is this about jumping off a cliff?!" Davina went off on a tirade imdiately.
Neveah heaved a sigh, lifting a hand to tidy the strands of hair that had co undone due to flight.
She was not in the mood to face Davina’s questioning but Neveah knew she could not escape it.
"I thought you would have already let go of this by now, I an I’m certain the Keep was much quieter with
gone." Neveah grumbled beneath her breath.
"I was away for a few days, I only heard of what happened on my return three days ago. And by the Creator, if Lord narx had not found you already I would empty out that river!" Davina hissed furiously.
Neveah was taken aback by Davina’s fierce concern and for a mont she stared at a fuming Davina, blinking in astonishnt before Neveah finally chuckled.
"I am here now, aren’t I? Lord Everon says I hit my head really hard, it is detrintal to my health if you keep yelling." Neveah murmured.
Davina scoffed audibly, glaring daggers at Neveah for a mont before she covered the rest of the distance between them and pulled Neveah into a tight hug.
Neveah stiffened on instinct at Davina’s hold, her wolf growling dangerously in her head at the close proximity but Neveah restrained her wolf and maintained her calm.
