It's been three days since Lisa found Dian, and he has been in her care ever since. He didn't talk much, very mysterious, and only said he would repay her.
"So, what's a witch like you doing alone in the middle of nowhere?" Dian asked as he stood up from the bed and gazed at Lisa, who was now reading a book.
"I ran away from the coven to be on my own for a while," Lisa said, not removing her eyes from the page.
"But aren't witches stronger in groups? What if there's danger?" Dian had a sincerely worried expression on his face.
"They want to be the coven leader against my will because I'm a direct descendant. I just want so alone ti," Lisa said and closed the book she was reading.
"So, what about you? What's happened on your side?" she asked, and Dian looked sideways.
"The dragons are fighting to choose the next supre ruler," he said and then looked up. "As the brother of the current king of the dragons, I have to participate in the fight," he said with a sigh and sat down.
"Well... why don't you travel with ? They probably think you're dead..." Lisa said with a shrug and then looked back at Dian, who was in deep thought.
He listened to the quiet forest all around them. All plants and animals acted in harmony; the gentle sounds of birds with the soft rustling of leaves made him feel at peace, and he rembered what the war front was like.
Thousands of people attacking each other, fire flying around, the battlefield in flas, and the dragons shouting loudly.
"The battlefield isn't really a pleasant place. If I am called, I would have no choice but to go back," he said, and he then wore his torn shirt.
With that, they began their journey in the world, eting different kinds of supernatural creatures and doing all sorts of things.
Dian had a love for the military from the movies he watched on Earth, and then he went for military training to serve Arica. Lisa rooted for him the whole way, and they got very close to each other.
Soon they developed feelings for each other and decided to get married after a while.
"You're okay with it?" Dian asked with surprise in his tone, and then Lisa smiled.
"You said you have no feelings for her and she was only your chosen mate."
Dian nodded to her statent, and she smiled.
It wasn't up to two months later that they got married the human way and lived together.
One day, Lisa woke up to see that Dian was no longer by her side, and what was left was a circular crystal ball.
"A ssage?" she said in confusion as she picked it up.
"Lisa, I know it's a bit sudden and also weird to leave a ssage like this. It's been a year since we t, and I have never felt the way I feel about you before. It seems like the war is still going on, and I've been called back. I don't know how the king found out about , but his authority over dragons is absolute. I'll be back once the war is over.
Until then, goodbye." The ssage finished playing, and Lisa stared at the orb in her hand.
For so reason, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. She stood up and walked out of the hotel she was at and gazed down on the lively city from the high room floor.
Having nothing to do for now, she decided to go back to her coven. She wandered deep into the forest where her coven was located.
The animals all around her seed to just walk past or go about their normal lives, both dostic and wild.
She soon arrived at a cave that led her to an alternate space. She entered to see children, won, and n going around.
It was a whole different vibe than the interior of a cave.
The walls were painted in a wine color with books lining up shelves reaching 10 ters tall, and even separate sections leading to all kinds of rooms.
Lisa's presence alerted everyone in the coven, and then the elders began to walk towards her.
"Welco back, mistress," one of the older ladies said, and Lisa smiled at her.
"I need to see my mom," she said as she looked around and didn't see a glimpse of her.
The elders looked shaken and had reluctant looks on their faces, as if they didn't want to take Lisa to her mom.
"Is sothing wrong? Did she say no to my return?" Lisa asked worriedly.
"No, no, no, mistress. It's nothing like that."
"I'm sorry to say this, but your mom passed away a while ago," the elderly woman said and looked down. Lisa was shaken up, but she looked at the elders in front of her and grabbed one of their shoulders.
"What happened to my mom?" she asked, not smiling at any of the elders, and they all reluctantly spoke.
"Your mom was killed by the warlock of curses, who is now starting a war between the humans," another man among them said, and then Lisa's hands trembled.
"Take to her," she said in a low voice, and the elders led her deep into the caves to a brighter place.
The place was beautiful. There were white flowers that emitted a glow all around the walls and even the ceiling. There was a glass box placed in the middle of the room, and tears began to flow out of Lisa's eyes as she saw her mom in it... lifeless.
She couldn't feel her mom's magic anymore, and she fell on her knees and began to let out tears as her body trembled.
The elders left her there for a while, and soon she ca out of the room and saw the elders waiting for her.
"Who is this warlock of curses? He will pay for what he has done today." Lisa's eyes flashed with flas as she stepped past them.
And that was how she beca the coven leader after her mother.
