Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
|
? ? (The Dragon, Angus)
The Dragon was still.? Mikayla's words were stunning, and yet familiar.? They felt like something he'd heard before, long ago, but the exact memory eluded him.? He had once been loved though - he felt it in his bones.? The certainty of that welled up inside him, coalescing into a single at the corner of his reptilian eye. Without thinking, he closed his eyes and caused the tear to fall gently onto the sleeping girl's open lips.
A sudden weariness came over him and the Dragon's head slowly drooped until it lay protectively across Mikayla where she lay in the crook of his arm.? "I wish..." he murmured as sleep came to him unexpectedly a second time "...I wish I could give that love to you in return."?? - Mikayla -
Mikayla moaned at the weight of his head upon her body. It was warm and comforting. She snuggled closer to him. ?At his word she ?smiled ¡°that would be nice, but you are really the only thing that matter. You and Angus. Once you are free, my job will be done.¡± She whispered.
And as The Dragon settled off to sleep, so too did Mikayla. However a few hours later, as the?light of the noon day sun filtered into the tower, Mikayla¡¯s eyes fluttered open. With a yawn and stretch, she realized that she had slept for a while.
?Turning she smiled to see her smaller body tucked into The Dragon¡¯s larger one. He looked so peaceful, she decided she would simply slip out. And slowly she moved to extricate herself from him.
