?[0)??? Once Draven disappeared from his study, after so many decades, a Black Dragon could be seen flying under the dark starry sky covering Agartha. The restless divine beast continued to fly with speed away from the palace as his large wings moved in a rhythm, swirling the air around him with its strong flapping motions and making that strong sound that showed how powerful he was.
His furious red eyes aimed to go somewhere far from what had caused him distress. He didn’t want to smell that scent and wanted to get rid of all he was feeling at this moment.
After flying for so long, he stopped at the base of the far away mountain, covered in tall trees and thick snow and was surrounded by a huge river bed from all sides.
The black Dragon seemed restless as he was growling and was trying to vent out his frustration on anything that was around him. His long tail moved relentlessly in the air, causing the tall trees around him to fall down to the ground in a blink of an eye as if they weighed nothing. So many birds from those trees flew in the sky, leaving their destroyed nests like running to save their lives.
As if it was not enough, the next moment there was fire coming out of that black Dragon’s mouth and it burned so many trees around as if the wildfire broke out that scared the animals residing around and all of them ran away to save their lives.
‘That idiot Dragon.’
Someone flying high up in the sky was frowning at what this Black Dragon was doing.
——-
Morpheus, who hardly slept, was spending his time on the faraway tallest tree on the mountain peak from where he could see almost everything happening around. He had spent hours under the water to get rid of the effect he had after smelling the scent coming from Ember.
‘Her scent was surely so intoxicating. Almost made me lose my mind. If I had stayed there for a moment longer, I don’t know what would have I ended up doing with her?’ he shook his head to not let any of such thoughts to come in his mind.
‘I wonder what is in her that was so strong to affect me like this? I was never affected like this by the scent of any other female in heat. Is it because she is human and their scent can affect me more strongly than a beast female’s scent?’ he shook his head to discard this thought, ‘I have come across other human females as well in the past, but never felt like this.’
‘This human female is special and there is something unique and mysterious about her. I just can’t guess what it is.’
Just then he saw the shadow of a Black Dragon that was flying in the sky.
“Am I seeing something wrong?,” he smirked, “Seems like he is out of control due to her. I was wondering how he could be so calm even when he could smell his mate.”
Morpheus flew from the tree to follow him, only to see that Black Dragon stopping at the mountain base forest, venting out his frustration on the trees, not realizing how he was scaring and hurting the small creatures residing in that forest.
Morpheus could not help but curse this Dragon calling him an idiot.
‘I need to stop him or he will burn that entire mountain. But to stop him, I need to use my divine powers or I won’t be able to move him even an inch,’ a devilish smile appeared on his lips, ‘After so long, I finally got a chance to use my powers and that too on that brainless Dragon.’
Morpheus stopped abruptly high up mid-air as his large wings on his strong muscular back were spreading to their fullest. His eyes changed their colours from grey ones to that purest form of gold.
Not only his eyes but the shining waves of gold colour spark started to flow along his strong muscular body that reached his wings which turned into gold ones which looked more like metallic armour in gold colour.
Against the curtain of that dark starry sky, that divine eagle surrounded by the shield of his powers looked like a heavenly being himself appeared there.
His golden orbs darted in that particular direction as he was ready to fly towards the base of the mountain. With the speed he flew, it looked like a huge ball of fire was moving while cutting that strong wind coming in its way.
The next moment there was the sound of the collision of two strong powers and the vibrations emitting from it shook the entire mountain, causing all the small creatures and animals to feel scared.
The restless Black Dragon was not aware of what was coming towards him and unprepared he was pushed by the strong powers that continued to push him in the air till it was away from the ground and that forest and was in the air only to direct it towards the river bed.
The Dragon tried to get hold of himself and resist it but it was so sudden and fast for his distressed mind to get a grasp over. When finally got back to his senses, by then it was late and he was already under the water as that strong powerful being continued to push him towards the deepest part of that river.
The Dragon’s red and ferocious eyes stared at that bold eagle but the moment he touched that cold water surface he stopped struggling and let him push him under water. It was as if this was what he needed at this moment.
Once they reached the deepest part and touched the bottom of the river, Morpheus let him go and swam toward the surface of the water to get out from there. He needed to stop that fire in the forest which was caused by this reckless Dragon.
Lying at the bottom of the river, Draven continued to see Morpheus swimming back towards the surface as he could clearly see even in the night with his sharp night vision and even when he was under the water. The same was with Morpheus as he too could see in the night.
Draven, who was still in his Dragon form, closed his eyes and preferred to stay there.
