Bloody Eyes
|Bab 47|

Luana was almost out of breath when she saw that it was Mahasiah — the dragon — who in her confession released a gust of hot air that could burn the forest. Lua had no time to notice anything else when Max jumped into her arms and hugged her. Paisley, whom Luana remembers is actually Layton, walked over. The dragon continued to lie on the ground, its wings folded close to its huge body.

- We've been worried about you mom! - the little one said let go of Luana but remained in her lap. “We heard wolves howling, they came.

— We know the little guy, we ended up taking longer than desired — Luana explained herself. "Why is it still in Paisley's form?" - He questioned Layton looking at him from top to bottom.

“One, because I don't want to be seen, and two…

— Because it will look very cute wearing Paisley clothes — Daniela interrupts Layton giggles, making Max laugh too.

The witch flicked the little one's nose, talking with her hands on her hips:

- Hi! Don't laugh bad boy!

The boy's laughter intensified and Luana smilingly placed him on the ground.

"It's funny to see Aunt Paisley scold curiously!" the boy exclaimed and the dragon let out a voice that could have been laughter.

"That's not funny Mahasiah!" - Layton reprimands turning to animals with his hands on his hips.

— Better stop bumbling Aunt Paisley, you're making things worse — said Daniela ironically and Luana biting her lips to hold back a laugh.

— If I really do not look silly in the form of my real clothes — the now serious voice of the prince sounded with a certain anger — I will return to my beautiful body long ago to avoid ridicule with this face.

Daniela giggled again and pointed at Mahasiah.

"Ready to fly, buddy?" the tan approached and the dragon's huge tail moved in response. "Perfect, because we have to go now."

Layton Paisley clumsily carried the small Max and, along with Luana, walked towards the large female, slightly darker than tilapia. Daniela helps the desired Luana to climb up the dragon's back, then climbs up and grabs Max, so that Layton can do the same. It was a bit uncomfortable sitting on top of the animal. Skin that looks more like scales seems to be slipping. Luana frowned at the neck of the beast as she was in front of everyone. Dani was behind him, followed by the boy and the prince. Before the queen can say anything, Layton reassures everyone:

— Don't worry Luana, Mahasiah agrees and everyone is safe with invisible restraints.

As if answering the queen felt something around her waist, thighs and calves.

"Whenever you want, Mahasiah!" — Luana said as she stroked the neck of the female, a large, shining armoured wing then opened, making her lose her breath.

And slowly, carefully not to crash into the trees, the huge dragon rose to his feet, flapping its wings, claws, and deadly sharp teeth glittering. One second they glide low over the trees, then they are thousands of feet above the ground. The large, shady trees are nothing more than acorns, green or black - because of the night - below. And from up there, camouflaged in the clouds, the air felt cold and sharp. The queen later regretted not carrying the coat anywhere because she felt naked on the thin cloth.

"How can you, ladies, be comfortable with these dresses?" Layton grumbled in the back. — I feel like I'm naked from the cold!

Luana wasn't the only one, so she thought with a laugh. Daniela also snorted laughing behind her.

— It is recommended that His Majesty crouch beside Mahasiah's back so that we can do the same — the princess whispered and Lua obeyed her without protest.

He then felt Dani also leaning on his back and felt more movement behind him. Max and Layton did the same. In fact, the prince squatted over the little one, protecting him en masse from the biting wind. The colors of the dragons fused with the night sky as they flew. The huge wings were flapping violently, it seemed like the beast did not even need it to stay in the air. Although they were thousands of meters above the ground, with their unnatural hearing, everyone could hear the second howl, closer than the last.

- Luana sits down now - orders Daniela, get off her.

Lua didn't care if she was a queen or a princess or a human, she complied. Because he was a bit confused and because he knew what his friend was going to do.

"Layton controls Max." The little one still could not control his blood thirst. Not enough - And now.

"OK," he agreed, his words carried away in the wind.

It was still fresh, but a little more viscous, blood gleaming on Luana's skin under the partially eclipsed light. So without delay, Daniela fouled her finger with her own blood and behind the queen and her friend, she perfectly made that lost symbol. And from that last symbol—the last word of the spell—the white light spread throughout Lua's body, until her entire body shone. But at some point the area in your heart shines brighter and all the light goes out, as if it had never existed before. When the queen was about to crouch down again, she stood up straight, feeling. The wolf must have thought that the daughter of the Gods was in the forest and when Daniela activated her spell, she would disappear from the map - her scent would disappear - as if she was no longer there.

Luana felt something flying nearby and looked around and down, but there were only clouds and more clouds. But then he heard a call from a familiar and sweet voice. Again. When he finally realized who was calling him, he was no longer on the dragon's back, but was standing in front of the Mahasiah himself. He then realized through the black fog around him that this was the meeting point between his mind and the soft-faced twins.

Are you calling me Mahasiah?

The fog disappeared slightly around the two and the queen felt the dragon beneath her again.

Seems like.

He replied looking a little surprised.

Saying. Are you all right?

My majesty. I'll be quick.

Please, no formalities.

Melahel sent me a thought message telling me to take you out into the open a few more minutes. He and Paisley are waiting for us.

Shouldn't we meet at the castle?

Yes, but when the supreme calls one of his dragons, we must obey him.

You are his sister.

But my animal is his subordinate even though I am his right hand. Order with us be Luana order…

One minute of silence. That's so weird! Luana had to learn more about other species.

Go Mahasia. Maybe something went wrong and Zoey couldn't tell us.

I'll do as you please, Your Majesty.

And with a bow, the mist and Mahasiah disappear and Luana finds herself once again riding on her newest friend's dragon. The arrow cuts to the opposite side of the road that should have been taken to the castle.

- What happened? - Daniela asked.

“Melahel has requested Mahasiah's presence out in the open a few minutes from here. I allowed her to leave - Luana responded with a bow and the princess did the same.

“You allowed it because the dragon could not ignore the request of its leader,” stressed Dani.

"Yes," Lua agreed. ’ But Melahel said nothing more.

"I just hope your plan isn't wrong, Daniela," Layton said.

"What if everything goes wrong?" Max asked in a frightened tone. “What will happen to my mother, Uncle Layton?

"I don't know Max. We don't know— the prince said desperately and Luana sighed in the same state, putting her forehead on the warm skin of Mahasiah.

He dared to swear he felt a deep connection between the two at that very instant.
