00:07my sister and i found twin worms in the northern wastelands she took the black worm wesley
00:13gentle and caring i took the white worm kings cold as ice but i refused to give up i spent
00:1910 years feeding him my own magic blood but he never grew close to me just as i was about
00:25to
00:25quit he suddenly changed his mind let's bond i thought i'd finally melted his heart but the
00:31night before our bonding i learned the truth he only wanted to bond with me to stay close to my
00:36sister after he becomes a dragon and he'll kill me and marry eliza that's when i realized i was just
00:43a tool to him the twin worms we found dying had both fallen for my sister but that's fine now
00:49that
00:49i know the truth i have my own plan i dragged myself back home kailis came home late we bumped
00:55into each other he doesn't know i know everything don't touch me same reaction as when i first tried
01:02to touch his tail i thought he was just born cold but no he was disgusted by me i let
01:08out a bitter
01:08laugh my eyes burned tears fell drop by drop kailis turned and walked away annoyed didn't look at me
01:16once the only time he shows any warmth is when i give him my magic blood i thought about the
01:21winter
01:21hunt our house holds every year every time i brought double supplies hoping he'd come with me
01:30k-res will you come with me he didn't even look up no
01:37everyone brings their bonded beasts they'll laugh at me if you don't come he said coldly
01:42then bond a new one i don't care so for 10 years i went alone the hunt beasts are clever
01:47they attack anyone alone and i always came back covered in wounds one time i ran into eliza and
01:53wesley wesley has the same face as kailis but his smile was warm he held my sister's hand gently
02:01eliza your palms are raw let me do the hunting from now on she smiled and nodded she reached for
02:08his
02:08tail and he wrapped it around her waist letting her touch as much as she wanted how wonderful i
02:14envied my sister she had wesley's true heart for three days i didn't eat or drink i just sat in
02:20my
02:20room the only place i felt safe day turned to night then day again i was empty but not hungry
02:27my parents
02:28only saw eliza no one noticed i disappeared not even kailis who lived with me or maybe he just didn't
02:35care
02:36on the third morning kailis left i walked through every room and every corner held our memories
02:4210 whole years he was like an accident in my life i thought i could melt ice but he was
02:48a knot i couldn't
02:49undo my stomach twisted in pain i packed up everything i owned and decided to leave for 10 years my
02:58only goal
02:59was him bond with kailis grow together but that dream was dead now i remembered bringing him home
03:05he was so weak almost dead his worm blood was special normal herbs and magic stones did nothing
03:12for him i had no money no status so i fed him my own magic blood what's stronger than a
03:18karen's blood
03:18it hurt every time i don't know how i kept going but seeing his face turn healthy again gave me
03:24courage
03:24again and again i thought we'd grow old together even if he was cold he was still my little dragon
03:30i did so many things for him i never told him the cost i didn't want him to feel guilty
03:36but even that
03:37wasn't enough he still hated my kindness i decided to let go free him free myself i packed my bag
03:44and
03:44left i wandered with no direction i found myself at the valley where we used to watch the moon
03:50i love the moon so does kailis but he never watched it with me only when eliza and wesley
03:55came then he would join us that was the only time his cold face came alive
04:02he couldn't even hide his true form his tail trembled under his robe i thought it was because
04:07they were twin worms the signs were so obvious but i was too blind to see i took a deep
04:13breath and
04:14blinked back the tears just as i turned to leave i ran straight into a chest i knew that scent
04:20kailis his voice wasn't cold for once what are you doing here i remembered how he flinched the last
04:26time i touched him so i stepped back quickly nothing just walking his eyes lingered on my bag
04:32he smiled a warm smile i need to talk to you i looked at him confused he brushed the hair
04:41from my face
04:42so gentle like a different person
04:47he said softly let's bond my mind went blank i'd waited 10 years for these words i thought i'd given
04:55up on him but my heart still leaped i nodded before i could think forgetting the days i'd locked myself
05:00away maybe it was 10 years of hope maybe i could still warm him he took my hand and led
05:07me home
05:07the first time we'd touched in 10 years i held on tight and leaned into him he held my hand
05:13loosely
05:13like it would slip away the moment i let go
05:18back at the karen estate kailis smiled gently his eyes sparkled like shattered stars just like when
05:25we first met my heart soared from the depths i told my parents about the bond and then magic fireworks
05:32exploded outside i thought kailis had planned it so i ran out excited but eliza and wesley stood
05:38beneath the lights not for me i'd done it again disappointment washed over me i looked at kailis
05:44beside me he was still smiling but i could see the sadness 10 years together i knew his face he
05:51still
05:52loved my sister the joy i'd felt faded then kailis squeezed my hand so hard it made me cry news
05:59of the
05:59bond spread fast your family is so lucky no true dragon since the dragon lord fell a thousand years
06:07ago works are the next best thing the kairis have two works dragon blood plus the karen's natural
06:16healing magic boundless potential other houses burned with envy but they only praised eliza the gifted
06:25one the first daughter i was an afterthought wesley will become a true dragon with the strongest heir
06:31of this generation too bad ks got stuck with the failure of the family when wesley is dragon lord
06:38eliza will be the most powerful woman on the continent she can let her failure sister share some
06:43of the glory i've heard words like these my whole life my sister is the moon in the sky
06:50i'm mud in a well even my own parents play favorites so how can i expect fairness from others
06:56i don't care about any of that the only one whose opinion matters to me is kailis does he think
07:02bonding
07:02with me wastes his bloodline the night before our bonding i asked him will you regret this
07:10no on the night before the ritual kailis and i weren't supposed to see each other we each had to
07:16purify ourselves in the magic spring but i remembered i hadn't given him his monthly magic
07:21blood yet i went somewhere private and extracted it carefully put it in a bottle and held it close
07:31following his scent i found him just as i was about to call his name i heard him scoff
07:37eliza you know i only agreed to bond with her so i could stay by your side
07:42she has no talent her magic blood is pitifully weak how could she compare to you my feet were
07:48frozen to the ground he was holding my sister's hand his eyes burning like i'd never seen before
07:54more words spilled from his mouth once i become a dragon the first thing i'll do is break my bond
08:00with her then i'll make you the dragon lord's wife my sister didn't respond i felt a little better
08:07at least she hadn't betrayed me growing up whenever people called me ugly or useless
08:12eliza was the one who spoke up for me my parents always favored her but i never envied her
08:19she was the only one in the family who never looked down on me
08:25eliza frowned i thought she was about to scold kailis i really hate that you but instead she said
08:33have to stay with a failure like lena how is her weak magic supposed to help you train
08:42i stepped back i couldn't believe those words came from my sister she even reached for kailis's
08:48tail and played with it in her hands if i accidentally touched kailis's tail he'd say it disgusted him
08:57but he let my sister touch it however she wanted kailis said calmly
09:01i have lena's magic blood once we bond the benefits will be even greater
09:07my sister smiled sweetly can a little bit of blood compare to my talent
09:14kailis's eyes flashed with cruelty i'd never seen before if it's not enough i'll take more
09:22she's obsessed with me anyway what's a little blood to her so kailis always knew
09:28he knew i'd been feeding him my blood at that moment i felt like my heart was being squeezed and
09:35stomped on i thought having kailis meant i'd never be alone again i thought he wanted to bond with me
09:42because he didn't want me to leave but it was all just a way for him to stay close to
09:47my sister
09:50only then did i finally admit to myself kailis never cared about me
09:56those twin worms we found dying in the northern wastelands
09:59their first love was always my sister
10:05i stumbled back to my room my hands trembling i packed up everything i'd just put away
10:10i was really leaving this time before i left i wrote a note kailis you're free i raised my hand
10:19to my eyes day after day of draining my magic blood had taken my vision first soon i wouldn't be
10:24able
10:25to see anything at all my chest felt heavy i finally let go of my white dragon let go of
10:33the
10:33me who threw myself into the fire i didn't tell anyone where i was going i couldn't breathe here
10:38i just wanted to run after leaving house karen i moved around a lot finally i settled in a border
10:44town where no one knew me simple people simple life lots of small untamed magical beasts slowly
10:51everyone learned i had healing powers for magical creatures word spread the local tamers guild found
10:57me they convinced me to join they promised not to reveal who i really was at house karen i was
11:03a
11:03but in this border town i was just good enough the people were kind especially the children they'd
11:09pick colorful magic stones from the wild and leave them on my windowsill to thank me for calming their
11:15restless beasts miss you're so amazing why don't you have your own magical beast i'm not amazing
11:22i'm not pretty either no beast would want to bond with me who said that you're the kindest prettiest
11:29tamer we've ever met i forced a smile and shrugged it off kids get distracted fast soon they ran off
11:36to play with their own beasts i suddenly thought of calus had he noticed i was gone yet i shook
11:42my head
11:43pushed those thoughts away house karen and calus had nothing to do with me anymore someone said my dad
11:49found a lame beast its face is covered in ugly scars i've never seen such an ugly beast no wonder
11:56its owner dumped it the kids chatter drew a crowd i saw it too with all those injuries it must
12:01have
12:01escaped from the underground arena everyone went quiet in this small town people didn't talk about
12:06places like that back at house karen i'd heard my father say only savage beasts get sent to the arena
12:12beasts that won't obey the arena doesn't treat them like living rooms they just make them fight each
12:17other endless i couldn't help asking where is he now the older man frowned lena you're not thinking
12:25of going to find him are you don't do it if he really escaped from the arena he's dangerous he
12:34could
12:34go crazy and hurt you i smiled and asked you've seen him today haven't you the man hesitated i saw
12:41him
12:41in that abandoned shack by the mountain you're not thinking of taking him in are you take in a new
12:45beast the scar on my chest ached i probably didn't have the courage to raise another beast 10 years
12:52with calus had nearly drained all my magic but i couldn't help feeling bitter why do only the
12:58pretty ones the talented ones get seen get treated well get loved we who long to be noticed and loved
13:04don't we count too looking at the worried faces around me i said even arena beasts can tell right from
13:11wrong just like people as long as he means no harm i don't think he'll attack anyone please don't judge
13:18him too harshly maybe he's just an ordinary beast who suffered a lot i followed the man's directions
13:24to the abandoned shack by the mountain it was dark inside two black stone-like things glowed in the
13:29darkness the beast's eyes i placed the food i'd brought in front of the shack this is for you to
13:35eat
13:35don't be afraid they're just ordinary things after a moment a voice came from inside who are you the
13:45voice was rough i smiled and answered softly i'm like you someone with no home maybe he could tell
13:51i meant no harm there was a rustling sound from inside the beast moved to the doorway he carefully
13:58picked up the food only then could i see him clearly his true form was a wyvern nothing like
14:04the man had said he didn't seem fierce at all just lifeless like ash the scars on his face were
14:11deep
14:11his hair was matted into knots he ate while watching me nervously like he was afraid i'd take the food
14:17away what's your name he swallowed the food with difficulty caspin my name is caspin caspian that's a
14:27lovely name even through the scars he was beautiful when he finished eating i got ready to leave i told
14:33him caspian the people here are kind no one will hurt you caspian nodded hesitantly such a gentle beast
14:40why would anyone send him to the arena why treat him so cruelly i sighed and turned to leave but
14:46caspian grabbed my sleeve i looked back into his eyes wet begging could you could you take me in
14:53i'm not a bad person
14:56i was stunned afraid i'd say no he rushed out words i know my leg is hurt but i can
15:02still work
15:02build fires cook soup clean the house mend clothes i can do all of it anything you need just tell
15:08me
15:08looking at caspian i saw my younger self i did everything to get my parents to notice me copied
15:13spells for them cleaned their magic circles organized my sister's spell books polished her magic tools just
15:20to seem useful like if i did less i didn't deserve their love but my sister did nothing
15:24she just stood there and she was always their favorite i carried that feeling of not being good
15:30enough my whole life i always wished someone would tell me you don't have to earn our love
15:34my heart ached are you sure you want to follow a contract master like me who isn't good look and
15:40have such low talent caspian let go of my sleeve my heart sank of course looks and power were all
15:47that
15:48matter lena you are very beautiful more beautiful than anyone caspian has ever seen
15:52i want to follow you no one had ever said that to me before caspian's eyes were clean no disgust
16:00no judgment looking into his honest eyes i reached out my hand without thinking afraid i'd change my
16:07mind he grabbed it quickly and just like that i took caspian in caspian was nothing like calus
16:13with caspian around i didn't have to lift a finger
16:18he kept the house perfectly always found ways to cook things that made me smile he knew what i liked
16:24there was always hot soup waiting on the stove i told him he didn't have to do all this to
16:29stay
16:29with me i said i didn't want to trap him with gratitude but really i was scared scared that
16:34one day he'd turn cold like calus and i wouldn't know how to handle it even the old man who
16:38warned me
16:39about him had changed his tune good things come to good people he said caspian is so capable you're
16:45lucky the neighbors were jealous too they compared caspian to their own beasts i just smiled and said
16:51nothing i thought caspian would be gentle but i never expected him to be this good being with him
16:57taught me something it's not about being human or beast it's about whether someone wants to care
17:02time passed quickly with caspian by my side i thought about the past less often but sometimes
17:07i still had nightmares i dreamed about the fourth year with calus we were ambushed by our family's
17:12rivals fireballs exploded swords clashed wesley protected eliza i pulled calus trying to escape
17:19they chased us to the edge of a cliff i was so focused on protecting calus i didn't watch my
17:24step
17:24i fell as i fell i hated myself for being useless i was still worried about calus
17:35but in the dream i saw things more clearly right before i fell someone tried to attack my sister
17:40calus pushed me aside he and wesley both shielded eliza it wasn't an accident i was just in the way
17:46the cliff wasn't that high and i survived but all my limbs were broken i was bedridden for six months
17:51my parents visited once they were too busy eliza had scratches they couldn't let her have scars
17:57they searched everywhere for healing potions calus came once too when eliza came to check on me a voice
18:03screamed in my head lena karen you're a waste of air no one will ever love you i shook my
18:08head
18:08trying to push it out even the beast you raised abandoned you you're worthless always have been
18:13the voice grew sharper sometimes my father's voice sometimes my mother's sometimes my sister's
18:19then it became calus's voice don't touch me you make me sick i backed away begging i'm sorry
18:25i'm sorry the new walls i'd built crumbled i almost drowned in self-pity again then i felt warmth on
18:31my
18:31forehead the voices disappeared like someone tore open the darkness i ran toward the light it grew
18:37brighter and brighter when i opened my eyes caspian was kneeling by my bed his hand was on my forehead
18:45when he saw i was awake he let out a breath of relief lena did you have a nightmare his
18:49voice was
18:49soft and gentle it made me feel safe caspian didn't know how to comfort me so he just held
18:54me awkwardly his arms were gentle he patted my back don't be sad lena caspin is here if i cried
18:59in front
19:00of calus he'd just tell me coldly to leave but with caspian i didn't have to pretend to be strong
19:04my lips trembled i said something without thinking can i touch your tail caspian's breath caught he let
19:10his tail appear and placed it in my hand i touched it gently the green scales shimmered with dark light
19:15beneath the scales golden veins glowed were all wyvern tails this beautiful i'd seen my sister
19:21touch wesley's tail worms are the closest things to dragons but even wesley's tail wasn't as beautiful
19:26as caspian's my hand trembled as i touched it something i'd wanted since i was young my fingers
19:31moved along his snake tail suddenly he grabbed my hand his voice was rough lena do you know what it
19:36means to touch a tail what does it mean to touch a tail ever since i could remember i'd seen
19:43my sister
19:44touch beasts tails my sister said beasts only let powerful tamers touch their tails so i never
19:51dared to try i only touched calus because i loved him so much seeing that i didn't understand caspian
19:58blushed he turned his head away and whispered a tail is the most sensitive part of a beast touching
20:04it means you want to mate my face burned so that's what it meant my sister lied to me no
20:10one had ever
20:11taught me this i thought it was just a casual sign of affection i'd been a tamer all these years
20:16for
20:17nothing did that mean i'd been perverted when i watched my sister touch wesley's tail and my sister
20:22touched so many beasts tails did her magic get stronger every time i thought it was just talent
20:27i quickly let go of caspian's tail my face was hot
20:33don't misunderstand lena i want you to it just feels intense i looked away
20:42he took my hand again guiding my fingers along his tail everywhere i touched golden light glowed
20:50i was born in the wastelands i was taken to the arena when i was small they wanted me to
20:57fight
20:57i refused i barely escaped i thought i'd live in the shadows forever then i met you lena my heart
21:04ached caspian had suffered so much if i'd met him instead of calus back then would everything be
21:09different he kept talking i want to bond with you be with you forever if you don't mind that i'm
21:14ugly
21:14of course not i blurted out i meant i didn't mind but caspian was overjoyed he let go of me
21:21and
21:21held me tight lena is that a yes i thought about saying no yes but when i opened my mouth
21:26i said
21:27yes looking ahead a life with caspian didn't seem so bad caspian took care of me i took care of
21:32his
21:32leg slowly we both got better every evening we walked through the hills the breeze in our faces
21:37neither of us had happy memories to look back on but walking hand in hand we always had things to
21:43talk about the wind is strong today lots of berries fell from the mountain then i heard someone call my
21:47name from behind lena my heart stopped why was he here
21:52i froze i used to have hope for this man my father lena your father has passed away i hoped
21:59he'd remember his younger daughter even if he didn't love me at least don't act like i don't
22:03exist he bought magic candy and dolls for my sister he'd barely even smiled at me my whole life still
22:09hearing he was dying made me sad as a daughter i should be there at the end even if he
22:13didn't care
22:13whether i came or not caspian looked at me with worry i said to him caspin let me heal your
22:19face
22:19caspian looked down lena are you going back to that house
22:25don't overthink it i just don't want anyone to look down on you
22:30caspian nodded gently i trust you it's in a beast's nature to be cautious but after everything
22:36caspian had been through he could still trust someone that made his trust precious i couldn't
22:41help touching his face the skin without scars was smoother than any woman's suddenly caspian
22:46revealed his true form his tail wrapped around my waist i touched his golden scales gently
22:53did you touch his tail too i knew who he meant i smiled bitterly he hated when i touched him
22:59because i wasn't the one he wanted don't touch him anymore i don't like the way he looks at you
23:04that night caspian didn't sleep in his room i knew kylas's sudden appearance had made him anxious
23:10when he got emotional he'd shift into his true form i hadn't paid attention before but now i
23:15noticed a horn on his forehead wyverns don't have horns i stopped caspian from moving against me
23:20what are you
23:25caspian's eyes were red he could barely stay conscious whatever you say i am i am that
23:31he didn't know what he really was the golden light on his tail the horn on his head hard as
23:36a blade
23:37they looked like the symbols on the dragon carvings my sister and i saw in the ruins
23:42could caspian be i didn't dare finish the thought caspian didn't give me time to think
23:47his true form was incredibly strong he wrapped around me nothing like the gentle caspian i knew
23:53i held him back wrapped in layers of his body i felt completely safe i forgot about house karen
24:00forgot about kalis forgot 20 years of pain and struggle the next day i found an excuse to send
24:06caspian away i held a blade to my eye the skin under the blade throbbed you never learn do you
24:11i laughed bitterly but going back to house karen this was the fastest way to heal caspian
24:17i bit down and pressed the blade in the familiar pain hit me then a clink the blade fell to
24:22the
24:22ground didn't i send caspian away how was he back his eyes were wide are you going to self-harm
24:27seeing his panic i explained quickly no no i was just getting some magic blood i know i have weak
24:33magic but my blood is good for you drink it the scars on your face and your leg will heal
24:38caspian stepped forward he backed me into the corner it was the first time i'd seen him so
24:43angry no one is worth hurting yourself like this not even me his words exploded in my ears but in
24:50my memory kalis's voice echoed too if it's not enough take more she's obsessed with me anyway
24:56looking at caspian's angry face my heart felt soft instead just once extracting some essence blood once
25:04will heal most of your injuries but caspian ignored me he touched the scar on my chest instead
25:10caspian is almost jealous of him then he let go of me he reached into his own chest and pulled
25:16sweat poured down his forehead veins bulged i grabbed him trying to steady him his body heat burned my palm
25:23then a flash of gold a dark green scale appeared in his palm he pressed it over my eye i
25:29stared at
25:30caspian in shock what are you doing do you want to get yourself killed
25:38he'd torn out his own heart scale my heart scrape nothing can pierce it now you can't hurt yourself
25:45anymore the scale had already merged with me a pure powerful magic gathered there and the scar i'd had
25:52for years was gone i finally understood why caspian had been sent to the arena his power was terrifying
25:58so much stronger than my clumsy magic he had this incredible healing power but he never used it on
26:03himself he let me fumble and make things worse so many times why why didn't you heal yourself
26:10because if i healed my wounds you would have sent me away so he kept his wounds on purpose
26:15tears filled my eyes again caspian panicked and tried to wipe them away but the more he wiped the more
26:22they fell he used his magic desperately your wounds are healed now don't cry through the blur of tears
26:30i looked at caspian the scars on his face were gone his skin was pale underneath but beneath the scars
26:35he was breathtakingly beautiful eyes like black gems set in long narrow sockets a straight perfect nose
26:43lips as red as cherry blossoms skin as smooth as jade every angle perfect this beautiful man was
26:50caspian the better he was that the more worthless i felt the old self-doubt came rushing back
26:59lena do you not like how i look i can change back caspian saw my face change he reached for
27:05scissors
27:06i stopped him i pushed down my rising self-hatred and and forced a smile caspid you're beautiful
27:13everyone in town came to stare at caspian lena you really found a treasure caspian is so
27:20capable and so handsome the neighbors all praised him i've never seen such a handsome beast in my
27:27whole life caspian blushed at all the attention i looked up at him the sun gilded him in gold
27:34yes caspian was wonderful i didn't deserve someone so wonderful when i brought caspian back to house
27:39caron everyone praised his looks too even eliza caron came up to him you're too beautiful to be stuck
27:45with lena word had spread that i'd abandoned kailas did she force you i chose her she wants nothing from
27:53me
27:56come with me instead eliza wouldn't give up i already have a bonded beast but i'm the strongest in
28:02house caron i can help you train she didn't care at all about wesley behind her or caylus hiding in
28:09the
28:09shadows caspian stepped behind me she is my tamer only her i don't care how strong you are and
28:17besides who's the strongest is still up for debate i liked the first half the second half confused me
28:23for the first time in 20 years eliza had been rejected by a beast eliza was furious and there
28:29were consequences the entire house caron stopped praising caspian's looks and started gossiping about
28:36his past instead sure caspian's good looking but he's just a low-level sky serpent he'll never be
28:45a real dragon honestly he and lena that failure deserve each other our family's got isa that's
28:53all we need now that the twin hue dragons have chosen her as their master lena's always going to
28:59be trampled under isa's feet caspian covered my ears i shook my head and pulled his hands down
29:04i said caspian i grew up hearing this kind of talk i'm used to it caspian gently touched my face
29:11his
29:11eyes full of pity i took him to the valley to look at the moon that's where we ran into
29:18caius lena
29:19this is our place how could you bring him here
29:25he forgot how annoyed he used to get when i begged him to watch the moon with me caius the
29:31moon in the sky doesn't belong to anyone and by the way we doesn't really work for you and me
29:37anymore
29:38that set him off he stormed over to grab my shoulder but caspian threw his hand up and blasted
29:44him back with pure force caius stared at his own hand in disbelief then looked at caspian no way
29:50he muttered aren't you just a sky serpent if you lay a hand on her again i'll make you disappear
29:56from this world caspian replied coldly i looked at caspian it felt so good to be defended like that
30:05caius pulled himself together
30:09the head of the family wants to see you before she passes tonight might be your last chance
30:14hue dragons have an incredibly accurate sense of life and death their premonitions are almost never wrong
30:20still i was confused if she's dying and wants to see someone shouldn't it be isa
30:25don't worry i'll be back soon but the second i turned away i missed the dark hateful look in caius's
30:33eyes
30:34the moment i stepped into the main courtyard i knew something was wrong it was filled with restrictions
30:40my magic was almost completely suppressed i looked back at caius he wasn't affected at all was this my
30:47intuition warning me i tried to leave but then isa and wesley stepped out from the shadows lena my dear
30:56little sister it's been a few years you've gotten sharper caius come here she waved at caius his body
31:06went stiff he couldn't look me in the eye head down he walked over to isa i asked what are
31:13you planning to do
31:16isa chuckled softly lena don't be scared i just need a little favor from you i almost laughed she's
31:22never wanted my help with anything because heaven forbid anyone say she had to turn to a failure like
31:27me when i didn't answer isa stepped closer and traced little circles over my heart with her
31:32fingertip caius told me your magical essence is perfect for cultivation so i thought i'd borrow
31:38some from you i turned to caius in shock so the news about my father dying luring me here it
31:45was all
31:45to help isa and wesley take my essence the boy i'd treasured for ten years he felt like a complete
31:51stranger now caius looked away i closed my eyes and let out a long heavy breath caius isa and i
31:59are
31:59sisters we share the same blood so why does it have to be mine isa leaned softly against wesley's chest
32:07but her fingers kept playing with caius's dark hair she said it like it was the most natural
32:11thing in the world because i hate pain and caius can't stand seeing me hurt isn't that right under
32:20her gaze caius nodded seeing that i finally burst out laughing then i looked him dead in the eye and
32:27said word for word caius you make me sick i threw his own words right back at him his lips
32:34pressed into
32:35a tight line he finally lifted his head to look at me whatever was in his eyes struggle guilt hesitation
32:42it didn't matter to me anymore lena my dear little sister wesley and caius are about to awaken and
32:52become true dragons just give them your magical essence and we'll make it up to you later she still
32:59thought i was that little girl she used to mess with two way dragons awakening at once draining every
33:04last drop of my magical essence wouldn't even be enough the whole continent can't have two dragons
33:09between caius and wesley one of them is doomed to fall and for that maybe that one in a million
33:14chance the boy i once cared about most and the sister i groveled to please were ready to sacrifice
33:20me my hands and feet trembled my whole body went cold the only warmth i felt came from the scales
33:25over my heart i touched them and thought caspian is a true dragon caius and wesley wanting to become
33:31dragons it's laughable they've been flattered for so long they've forgotten their own blood and place
33:36not that that's surprising isa saw the sneer on my face and lost it she ordered caius to tie me
33:41up he
33:42hesitated for just a second then he walked toward me every step crushed whatever little feeling i had
33:47left for him caius said lena don't fight it it won't hurt as much i let out a bitter laugh
33:53how thoughtful
33:54how gentle caius you're going to regret this lena once i awakens and become a dragon i'll let you go
34:02just help me one more time i won't let anything happen to you trust me back then even saying my
34:08name annoyed him now he kept saying it over and over and it just made me sick caius the boy
34:13i used
34:13to treasure he'd become someone i didn't recognize anymore caius dragged me over to isa she took a
34:20sword and stabbed me right in the chest but there wasn't a single mark on me her eyes went wide
34:25in
34:25disbelief stab after stab nothing worked no way no way lena what kind of dark magic did you use isa
34:33you can't hurt me she handed the sword to caius here you try caius tested it with one stab same
34:39result try somewhere else caius there's no way we're not getting any essence out of her his hand
34:44trembled slightly as he stabbed more left arm this time magical essence began to seep out seeing that
34:50isa's mood lifted she was so desperate for the position of family head and the power of being
34:55dragon lord's wife that she'd completely lost herself caius kept stabbing me over and over the
35:01essence pouring out of me made both caius and wesley lose control and shift into their true
35:05fingers i thought to myself it hurts so much i wish i could hug caspian right now his arms are
35:11so warm
35:11he'd gently pat my back the way my mother used to when she put isa to sleep i knew caspian
35:16would keep
35:17waiting for me in that little town he'd always been so gentle i just hoped that after i died he'd
35:22find a good master someone who wouldn't put him through more pain as more and more of my essence
35:26was drained my body grew weaker and weaker then suddenly a deafening roar echoed from above everyone
35:33stopped they all looked up and rushed toward the sound they saw what isa was doing to me every single
35:38one of them but no one stopped her they were more focused on that cry in the sky than on
35:43the fact that i
35:43was dying even the elders who barely ever showed their faces came running tears streamed down their
35:48wrinkled bark-like faces that's a dragon's roar the dragon lord has come
35:56hearing this everyone in the karen family turned to look at caius and wesley who were standing beside
36:02isa the karens were the only family on the entire continent that had hui dragons the creatures closest to
36:08true dragons but neither caius nor wesley had awakened yet so where did that roar come from
36:14isa looked stunned elder are you sure our family's hui dragons haven't awakened how can there be a real
36:21dragon on the continent the elder sighed deeply sadly it seems our family was never worthy of that honor
36:26a true dragon has appeared the hui dragons have lost their chance to awaken isa shouted no way my beast
36:32has to
36:33become dragon lord all we need is enough magical essence that's it magical essence her face twisted
36:38with rage she snatched the sword from caius and raised it to stab me i knew i'd reached my limit
36:43i
36:43probably couldn't survive another hit from her so i just closed my eyes isa's sword came flying at me
36:49and then hit the ground with a heavy thud i opened my eyes i could feel my magic coming back
36:54my wounds
36:55began to heal slowly the restraints that had been suppressing me disappeared roar after roar echoed from
37:02above a crushing pressure descended from the sky forcing every beast companion in the family to bow
37:08to the ground caius and wesley struggled a little longer than the others but eventually they dropped
37:13to their knees too i looked up a massive dragon was weaving through the clouds the red scales on its
37:19tail shimmered with dark light and beneath them faint gold flickered it was caspian
37:28a deep ancient voice echoed as if rising from the very heart of the continent caius wesley do you know
37:37your mistake you know exactly what you've done the two of them knelt low their eyes bleeding crimson tears
37:44from the sheer pressure of the true dragon i looked over and saw the fierce unwillingness in their eyes but
37:50in the face of absolute power all they could do was bow their heads in respect great dragon lord
37:56we know we were wrong the rest of the karen family had no idea why the true dragon had appeared
38:02just to
38:02punish their beasts but isa had a guess she glared at me with pure hatred lena i know this is
38:10you
38:11what kind of deal did you make with that evil dragon the family's faces went pale magic household or
38:19not there was nothing they could do against a dragon lord isa's disrespect terrified them she
38:25grabbed the sword off the ground and lunged at me again caspian shifted into human form and landed in
38:30front of me he crushed the sword between two fingers then with a flick of his energy pinned isa to
38:36a
38:36pillar not far away ice pierced through her hands and feet tearing the tendons wide open broken ribs
38:42jutted out from her side the pain she felt was a hundred times worse than what i had just endured
38:48caspian lowered his gaze to the wounds on my body his eyes were filled with pain
38:56i'm sorry he said softly i came too late i shook my head no you came right on time
39:06seeing the family's prodigy tortured like that one of the karen elders stepped forward great dragon lord
39:13lord you may be the ruler of this continent but you can't just attack a beast taker like that isa
39:18is our
39:19family's most gifted member and the next head of the household please spare her
39:25caspian pulled me protectively into his arms anger burned in his eyes he swept his gaze across the karen
39:31family and let out a cold laugh i don't care it's but i do kill those who refuse to see
39:37the truth
39:37who can't tell right from wrong great dragon lord what did you see in the vision take a closer look
39:47who really is the most gifted one in the karen family summoning his courage the elder stepped forward
39:54and examined my energy then his face went pale with shock how is this possible when lena was born her
40:03magic was barely there she grew up average at best but now her power is so rich she rivals me
40:09i was
40:10just as shocked i looked up at caspian he lowered his gaze to me and explained patiently lena there was
40:15a seal placed inside you it could only be broken by bonding with a magical beast your sister isa knew
40:21this secret all along that's why she broke through the seal before you did isa had known from the very
40:27beginning no wonder she'd always told me never to touch a beast's tail when we were kids she said
40:32a low-level tamer like me would get killed by them all those years she stood by and watched me
40:36get
40:36mocked ignored left to struggle and scrape by in the karen family i'd bowed and scraped before her like a
40:43servant pouring out all the warmth i never got from our parents and throwing it at her feet instead
40:48and she'd been planning to keep me down from the very start lena you worthless failure you'll never
40:57be better than me our parents love the karen family's honor the beast's loyalty it's all mine
41:05caspian flicked his hand and isa's teeth scattered all over the ground then he pulled out a mirror from
41:10somewhere and held it up in front of me i stared at the stunning beauty in the reflection for a
41:15moment
41:16i couldn't believe my own eyes caspian said softly lena i told you before you're beautiful
41:24the most beautiful person i've ever seen the sudden change my looks my overwhelming magic
41:30caught me completely off guard no wonder he'd insisted on sleeping beside me every single
41:37night before we came back to the karen family while he was forming his dragon body my magic had been
41:43growing fast too this wasn't the innocent gentle little sky serpent i'd found back then this dragon
41:49had been playing the long game all along with isa's magic shattered and my own natural talent now
41:55undeniable the elder finally shut his mouth then my mother came running out of the house sobbing and
42:01told us my father was gone without missing a beat the elder raised my hand and announced to the entire
42:07karen family lena is the next head of the karen family all those who'd once mocked me now had sour
42:14looks on their faces my mother rushed to the pillar where isa was pinned crying out her name in anguish
42:20then she turned to glare at me with pure hatred she wanted to strike me but caspian's presence scared
42:27her off i should have felt satisfied but all i felt was a hollow sadness
42:34i don't care about being the head of the karen family i want to be the dragon lord's wife caspian
42:39looked at me with nothing but pure affection in his eyes everyone else was shocked speechless
42:47caspian nodded sweetheart i was thinking the exact same thing out of nowhere he pulled out a
42:53magic ring and slipped it onto my finger it was one i'd loved a long time ago the one i
42:58could never bring
42:59myself to buy the moment the ring settled at the base of my finger a voice came from the ground
43:07it was caius lena loves me i have a ring too see the one you begged me to make you
43:15back then
43:17in his hand caius held up a silver ring all those years ago i'd fallen in love with those magic
43:23silver
43:23rings i begged caius for so long to make one for me he finally agreed every day i waited hoping
43:31he'd
43:31finish it and give it to me but when it was done it just disappeared days later i saw the
43:36exact same
43:37ring on isa's finger i told myself it was a coincidence those magic silver rings all looked
43:42alike unless caius actually said he'd given it to her it wasn't true that's what i told myself and
43:49just like that i fooled myself one more time i stepped out of caspian's arms and walked over
43:54to caius he held up the silver ring pushing it toward me desperate for me to see it the way
44:00i'd spent
44:00ten years being desperate for him to see me i didn't take it caius some things once they're missed
44:09they can't be fixed people too
44:17no lena give me a chance to make it right i really want to bond with you it wasn't until
44:24after you left
44:24that i realized i never loved isa it was always you the way i felt about her that was just
44:30instinct
44:31i just didn't want to be weaker than wesley i said flatly do you remember that time i accidentally
44:37touched your tail and you said it was disgusting do you remember and they're bonded toward do you
44:42remember when i was covered in wounds from a beast attack and you kicked me out of the house because
44:47you didn't want to smell the blood and do you remember pushing me off a cliff just to protect isa
44:53he had no answer to any of it then he shifted letting his tail form and placing it in front
44:59of me
44:59lena i was wrong do whatever you want to me i only tricked you into coming here because i wanted
45:06to
45:07become a dragon as fast as i could so i could protect you i want to be with you forever
45:12i love you
45:14back then i used to think caius's tail was beautiful now i felt nothing i said quietly it's too late
45:22for all
45:22that caius but i do have to thank you because of you i met caspian caius stayed kneeling where he
45:29was
45:29his fingernails dug deep into the ground carving long grooves he looked up at me the corners of his
45:35eyes burning red lena you already knew didn't you i knew what he was asking about caspian's true identity
45:45or about his own ugly intentions maybe both i didn't answer i just turned my gaze into the distance
45:53caspian's arm tightened around my waist his voice rang out loud and clear for everyone to hear
46:00do you all really not remember why the true dragons vanished from this continent and why they've returned
