BXBX NOVEL Chapter 352 - Unexpected Guest
Walking out of their bedroom, Ayra peered around to locate anyone nearby. Having no one around except the sound of crickets coming from the backyard, her curiousity was ignited again. She sharpened her ears, ready to follow the whispers that was coming out more like a hiss of snake.
She frowned paying close attention to the whispers that was coming out from a certain distance. Ayra picked her pace, trailed off the resource closely and after taking few steps, she understood that the whispers was coming from the backyard of Blavina's Royal Castle. Curious, chivalrous as usual, she didn't want to return in their room without checking out why was she hearing those noises.
She spun around to observe the surrounding sharply. Walking over to the torch hanging out from the wall, she pulled it out and held in her grip. She adjusted the blanket around her body to shield the shimmering cold that was whipping through her body with the cold breeze.
She started walking again towards the backyard without knowing the exact direction and followed the whispers blindly. The entire palace was seemingly sleeping at this hour. The sudden snowfall was also another reason for everyone to hide inside their rooms and hid themselves under those warm duvets. Thus when she walked through the path of backyard, no one noticed or heard her footsteps.
The torch in her grip threatened occasionally to lit off since the wind was heavy due to snowfall and she was heading for the open backyard of castle. After walking further away from the living rooms, she ended up reaching at the backyard and saw the snowfall from the doorway.
It wasn't clear in her vision since the moon wasn't up in the sky and only lights from chandelier highlighted few places of backyard from the upper floor. Those whispers died down when she reached the entrance but her couriosity was still on top notch and the beauty of snowfall ignited her curiousity more.
Taking her pace again, she started walking towards the backyard again. Coldness hit her expression when she paused few inches away from the open field of snowfall. A smile came on her lips as she touched the light snow flakes and enjoyed the coldness of it in her skin.
Too forgotten by the beauty of snows, she was momentarily distracted from the main reason behind her coming. To enjoy the feeling, she hung up the torch in the nearby wall and started walking into the snow slowly.
A low hiss came out from her lips as her feet touched the cold ground. Hairs covered in little snowflakes, she was looking like a complete mess. A soft giggle came out of her mouth when she jumped and thrashed against the flakes as if she was living the best day of her life. Dalastia had never seen snowfall since the weather was totally opposite of Balvina. First time enjoying inside the snowfall was really heavenly.
She started playing, jumped here to there to catch the falling snow and failed to notice that there was one big pair of red eyes watching over her from the rooftops of Blavina's castle.
She was immersed in playing untill she had the feeling of being watched by someone secretly. She paused between her childish play and whipped her head around to observe her surrounding. She started scanning the places until her eyes met those bloodshot eyes from the top of castle.
A gasp came out from her lips when she thought that those eyes were the same like her nightmares. She was naturally panicked and wanted to run inside but an animalistic snarl came out from that way. Pausing abruptly, she tried to inspect the thing above the rooftop since it was pitch-dark and nothing could be seen except those eyes.
Halting in her track, Ayra took her time to detect those eyes and she didn't need to wait much longer. Soon after, a pair of large wings spurted out from the rooftop and made his way towards Ayra following moment to land in front of her with a loud thud.
Ayra's expression turned horrified as she uttered a single word curiously,
" Debisa!! "
Cedric's mad dragon who flew away and didn't come back to Basarisk since morning. Ayra tried to stay clam though she could see the hatred in Debisa's eyes. She could detect his aggressive way towards her as if he couldn't wait to rip her face.
Ayra sutured keeping a safe distance from him and used a soft voice to tame the creature,
" Debisa..Why..why did you come here? You want to meet your master, isn't it? I am calling him. Don't go away."
She made up a casual conversation with him and attempted to walk away but Debisa extended his wing to block her departing root. Ayra froze before staring up at it and tried to detect the exact reason of his intention towards her.
As she parted her lips to talk again, the devilish faced dragon didn't give her the chance. He let out his sharp plaws and gave her one ruthless push. Ayra cried out in pain when his nails scratched her skin and she stumbled one step back before dropping on the cold snowfall.
She wailed in pain and looked up at Debisa who was opening his mouth to bite her angrily. Before Debisa could come closer, Ayra heard running footsteps and followed by Cedric's yelling tone,
" DEBISA!! How dare you! "
Debisa looked up at his master and snarled instinctively as if his response defined that he was doing the right thing by harming Ayra. Without caring about Cedric's arrival, Debisa attempted forward to complete his unfulfilled task.
This time, Cedric was surprised too when Debisa didn't obey his command and was still approaching Ayra to hurt him.
Cedric jumped on his path and growled at Debisa in a threatening voice,
" I am amazed to see your disobedience today. If you are thinking that she is weak and won't fight back, I will suggest you to not trigger her hybrid temper. If she decides to fight back, you will have the worst dead ever, Debisa. Go back to Basarisk!"
Debisa appeared impatient to harm Ayra. He even snarled at Cedric and let him knew that he wasn't going to listen to him this time.
He must finish the woman!
