RECOMMENDED SONG: Blood In The Water By Grandson~????
_SALVITA MOUNTAIN_
Ester had a glorious smile on his face once he made his way back to Oscar who was observing the chaos inside ocean deeply. The dragon showed his reluctantance towards its forced master and tried to shove his off but Ester was too cruel to use his sharp nails to torment him without being notified.
When greed and overconfident flowed through his mind, he failed to notice that the dragon had started to fly away very closely towards the surface of ocean.
At that very moment, waves took an abrupt direction flowing up from its depth and started to stand up like a solid ground behind his back. Ester immediately felt a omnious feeling and turned his face back to object what was happening exactly.
Much to his surprise, his face turned pale sooner he noticed the white figure appearing out from the tower of water from the centre of the ocean. He called out between his gritted teeth,
" Ethan.. how could be he..alive.."
Ester couldn't believe his own eyes as he saw the white, unharmed figure. As he met with Ethan's ferocious eyes, he felt his heart skipping a bit. Using the last bit of his courage, Ester kicked on the dragon's back hurrying it to fly away immediately.
Dragon had a strong sense of humor who immediately felt the presence of Ethan behind them. It snarled painfully refusing to bear Ester and wanted to run back to Ethan's side.
Ethan's anger erupted as soon as he witnessed Ester's cruel torture over the poor dragon. The waterdrops on his face started to get fired up because of his anger as he shouted at Ester threateningly,
" Ester.....!!!!! "
Ester jumped nearly fell off from its back and trembled in terror. Just when he inteneded to run away leaving the dragon, Ethan flew up to them in a shot. Without delaying for a rare moment, he kicked out Ester from the dragon's back and gave a short order briefly,
" Hold him with one of your claw, friend."
The dragon had the ability to understand his language and it immediately complied what Ethan asked him to do. Its sharp claws grabbed Ester's body like a staff and kept him hanging in the air just a few inches above from the monstrous ocean.
Easter screamed out in terror when he looked down and saw the hungry waves as if they were eager to swallow him whole. Ethan climbed up on the dragon's back smoothly and run his fingers through its thick skin while apologising sincerely,
" I am sorry. You have been hurt because of me."
The dragon only let out a low snarl against his apologize as if he didn't mind for being a little heart. Ethan smiled at its friendly acceptance towards his approach and felt a little sad reminding that he had to leave the dragon after this battle. Ethan sighed before dropping his gaze on it's scar and felt another gush of anger scorching through his veins.
He furrowed his brows together dangerously and commanded in a cold voice,
" Keep draging the vicious man through the waves but don't leave him into the ocean. I want to deal with him personally."
The dragon snarled with understanding, dropped his body a little lower so that the waves could get touch with Ester's body. As soon as those colorful waves touched Ester's body, he shouted in pain. The waves started to burn his skin like a fire and left numerous scars on his body.
Before Ester could understand anything, Ethan ordered his dragon with a satisfied smirk,
" Now start to fly towards your king slowly. Don't drop him anywhere else except SALVITA."
The dragon immediately responded to his command with a joyful snarl and kept flattering its giant wings. Ester shouted hysterically to bring him up but both Ethan and Dragon heed no ears to his pleading.
His body was brushing and bouncing against the wild waves which burnt his skin like a sack of woods. Ester had no longer abilities to think straight because of the intolerable pain except enduring the pain.
He just didn't understand why was he getting burnt by this water and how come nothing happened to Ethan?
From the SALVITA MOUNTAIN, Oscar finally had a relieved smile forming on his lips. Indeed he didn't mistake to recognize the worthy king for Dalastia World. He watched everything proudly and suddenly felt that Ethan imposed his father referring to king Henry a lot who was missing for years.
The wind blew savagely blowing through their flying figures and hit the mountains on their opposite side. Ester could no longer make a sound of crying and kept whimpering in pain.
Moments later, he only felt that his body had been dropped down over a cold ground with thud that awakened his conscious a bit. Following up, the huge Dragon landed down swiftly carrying its master proudly. It crunched down for Ethan to help him in landing and glared back at Ester viciously.
Ethan got down from the dragon and immediately pulled out his sword. Charging forward Ester slowly, he emphasized each words furiously,
" How lame you can be for the throne, Ester? You have tricked me to fall down and used my dragon as your own pet? Who has taught you to use this lame tricks? I don't think that child of king Henry can have such such awful battle tricks. We have always fought with rules and never been so coward to deal with our opponents. Get up and fight with mr, Ester Chole. I don't wish to win the throne against a coward man. Morever you have used your dirty hands over an innocent animal. Get up and end this fight for throne."
Ester grunted in pain and continued laying on the ground. His eyes watched Ethan hatefully after being insulted and felt furious over the stupid dragon.
He grinded his teeth together and hauled up from the ground supporting on his arms. With a swift, he also pulled out the sword and declared with a cracking voice,
" Let's end this battle then, Ethan. After today, only one of us will stay alive in this world."
Ethan sneered and aimed his sword towards his chest from where blood was dripping the most. Ester immediately huddled in pain and suddenly blurted out to weaken Ethan's confident,
" How can you be so cruel to me, Ethan? Do you wish to see me death as older brother, Edward? Think about our mother! Wouldn't she become very sad after loosing me? You know that she loves me the most amongst all of you."
Ethan's face paled instantly as soon as Edward's name was mentioned and a part of his heart started to ache very fastly.
_CRIMOND HILL_
When things were getting complicated in different places, Ayra was spending time pacefully inside the safety barrier of Esme. Though she didn't know why did Anna and Ron behave with each others awkwardly, they didn't forget to treat her warmly.
During this days, Anna could read through the excitement in Ron's eyes who eagerly awaited for Esme's arrival. She could only sigh helplessly and endure this bitter feelings.
After all,who was she?
On that night, her nausea came back again. Without notifying anyone, she run outside of the villa and walked far away. After throwing up everything that she ate, she felt relaxed and suddenly heard a little voice behind her,
" Sister Anna, are you sick?"
Anna's expression paled as she turned around in shock and found only Ayra standing with a doll. She smiled with relief and replied to the girl with an awkward smile,
" No, baby..I..I was just having bad stomach..Why did you follow me? "
Ayra blinked innocently and replied while tugging on her doll's head,
" You started vomiting before I could call you. So I followed you quitely and thought that you might be sick. Sister Anna, when can I see Mommy again? I miss her."
Anna smiled adoringly and pulled the girl in her arms. She coaxed patting on her face,
" Only two or three days baby untill your uncle gets her back from that place. After that, we will all stay together. "
Ayra smiled widely and blinked with confusion,
" Really? Then.. uncle will become the king? Will he sit on the throne like that king from my book?"
Anna laughed happy that she had someone to bring smile on her face and nodded affirmatively. Running her fingers through Ayra's messy hairs, she hummed sweetly,
" Yes,baby..He will.."
Ayra clapped her tiny hands together almost instantly and chriped excitedly,
" Yeahhhhhh!!! Then I will also sit with him on that throne. "
Anna chuckled and responded to her childish questions casually,
" Why will my Ayra fight for a chair with her uncle? My Ayra will have her own throne and will become a queen one day."
Ayra widened her eyes in amusement and asked with curiousity,
" Really.. Really????"
Anna hummed softly and smiled praying that her words would turn out true one day,
" Really!! "
