Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Draven.

This time, Morpheus called him by name.

Draven looked up, startled by Morpheus sudden shift. Calling him by his name reminded him of the old days.

Evanthe is the only female I acknowledge, Morpheus said and Draven simply listened, trying to guess what hes implying.

Morpheus continued, And this human female is the second one. Do you understand what I mean now?

The anger that was buried by the mention of Evanthes name once again rose in Dravens eyes. She is not Evanthe.

That is why I wont mind playing with her. Make your decision for tomorrow because this time I wont be sparing anything that will hurt you. Let her go and you will see her as my mate, Morpheus warned, his tone calm but his intentions dangerous.

She wont come with you, Draven snapped, surprising himself how he was so sure of his words. He didnt even know what he thought when he said it.

That is up for her to decide. From what I understand, she summons you when she is in danger, but this time she didnt as I was there to protect her. That means she doesnt need you. Moreover His lips curled wickedly. I can see she likes me while she hates you.

She must have not seen you in your disgusting beast form, Draven commented.

Better than that your beast form, Morpheus countered. I am sure she would rather hold an eagle instead of a scary monster. And I dont mean just the devil form, but your true formthe black dragon. Try it and I am sure she wont even dare look at your shadow.

With Morpheus words, the thing that was always buried at the back of his mind now surfaced clearly to remind him of his true identity. Humans, they always hated him for his true form more.

At first, they feared him, but that fear converted into hatred. That human who betrayed his trust, his last words were of disgust and ridicule, hating him for his true form. This human girl probably wouldnt be any different. She already looked at him as if he would kill her. He never did anything to harm her yet the fear in her eyes continued to grow each time he saw her.

Those green familiar eyes.what was he even expecting?

All humans are the same.

Draven let go of his clenched fists and calmed down. Do whatever you want to do with her.

It surprised Morpheus, but even before he could say a word, Draven disappeared from the mountain and Morpheus had no chance of stopping him.

We are not done talking! Seeing him gone, Morpheus wanted to curse. ThatThat coward left just like that. Where did he go? Morpheus wondered and transformed into an eagle. He headed towards the palace but Draven was nowhere to be found, neither in his chamber nor his study.

Not here? Morpheus mumbled while flying around the palace in his beast form. Thenthat humans home?

Morpheus flapped his wings towards Ronan. When he reached there and checked for Dravens presence around. His sharp gaze could not miss anything even in the dark, but Draven could not still be found.

Morpheus landed on one of the tree branches near Embers tree.

Perhaps he has gone there? He sighed. Seems like this is enough for today. Lets leave him alone. This much I can do for the sake of our old friendship. Morpheus flew away. I will have more chances to get back at him.

Roughly an hour after Draven and Morpheus left the Kings chamber, Erlos entered, thinking that the annoying eagle must be gone.

I am sure Sires nasty mood will be worse tonight.

Erlos wanted to be particularly careful in attending his duties for the King, not wanting to be punished unjustly. As such, he made careful arrangements for the Kings evening meal, but when he entered the Kings chamber, he found it empty.

Sire? What the

To say the chamber was a mess was an understatement. It was as if a whirlwind wreaked havoc inside. The smaller items were scattered here and there, the table and chairs were flipped, and worse, there was a crack on one of the walls. It was easy to guess what the King did based on the shape of the crack.

It was infinitely worse than the eagles previous visit.

Not like I can complain. He sighed. The young elf looked around the chamber but no one was there. Where has Sire gone? He looked out of the window, but there was no one in the garden below. Did they go out for their duel?

His long, pointy ears twitched, trying to listen for any sounds of fighting.

But why is everything quiet? Are they having a silent match or what? Or did they leave the palace? He immediately threw away the thought of them merely talking. Morpheus was a frequent nuisance to the palace, and each and every one of them ended with the two fighting. Oh spirits, I pity the clan whose territory theyre destroying at this moment.

Erlos continued to make his own assumptions, muttering under his breath at how dedicated Morpheus was in hating the King, but he didnt simply idly wait. He was sure his master would return soon so he got back to work.

He cleaned the entire chamber at the highest speed possible, using his powers to fix the crack on the wall, and thought to wait for the King to return. Meanwhile, he informed the other servants to keep the meal heated just in case.

However, hours passed by but Draven didnt return. Erlos kept waiting for him outside his door.

What is taking Sire so long? he complained. I know I dont need to worry about himhe is the most powerful being in the kingdom and that eagle is an easy prey for himbut I dont know if I should ask the kitchen to cook a new meal or if I should prepare the bath. Ugh, he should have at least told me when hes coming back

Erlos continued to stand by the door, looking out a nearby window, staring at the night sky and the mountain ranges whose peaks were visible like giant shadows against the dark curtain of the sky.
