Alleiraki POV
Her eyes slowly snapped open blearily and she glanced around weakly to find herself laid on top of bone other than Logan. With a start, she sat up but it must have roused him because he sat up straight, his eyes sharpening as it settled on her and she sighed immediately.
"Thank you" she appreciated cooly before going to stand, her energy was returning albeit slowly and she could feel that the ancient power in her was resting after being used that much and Cerberus seemed to be soaring the skies with Sage and the other dragons.
"Is that it? Just a thank you?" He barked out with a strained voice and she glanced at him with a tad bit of confusion.
"What else?" She questioned dumbly and he glared at her, his expression now more guarded than ever and she felt her heart prick at how suspicious his facial expression was when he was looking at her at this moment.
"You might be able to fool them but not me" he spat out with something akin to annoyance in his tone and she sighed weakly.
"Fool them? Oh please, I'm not fooling anybody" she responded with a bored tone and he grabbed her shoulders tightly to the point that it began to hurt.
"What sort of magic did you use today?" He questioned with suspicion.
"My magic, what's it to you?" She asked and he growled low in his throat.
"You think this is a joke? You are hiding secrets from us and you will te-"
"Don't even finish that sentence, I will choose to tell anyone of you what I want to tell you. I owe you nothing at all, I'm hiding secrets? Well, aren't you a pot calling the kettle black" she hissed in his face before she slammed his hands off of her shoulders and stormed out of the cave.
She met the two returning with somethings on my way out but she pushed past them and stepped into the forest. She needed air to clear my head and If she stayed one more minute with that lunatic then she just might loose it.
"Stupid King" she cursed as she walked deeper into the forest. She didn't know for how long she trudged down that path but she was soon hearing words from the nearby trees and it didn't sound like the Zena or Zedner or even Logan.
Furrowing her brows with curiosity, she slowly took miniscule steps towards a tree and looked around from it to spot two people, a man and a woman.
She looked pregnant and there was one dragon behind them.
"The wild dragons are still patrolling the air, we cannot leave now" he gently said as he held her arms but she shook it off.
"But the baby will be born soon and I don't want the first thing they see to be bloodshed" she argued and he sighed in defeat.
"Alright, I'll see what I can do" she gave them a once over and probed at their minds with her magic and found no intent to cause harm there before she stepped out of her hiding place.
Their eyes widened and the woman let out a sharp shrill that had her eyes widening before she lunged forward and slapped her hand onto the woman's lips.
"Shut up before you get us all killed" she ordered with her searing gaze on the male, daring him to make a single move and the woman nodded quickly before she let her go and took steps backwards.
"Who are you?" The woman asked and she sighed, she didn't do all this just for them to start asking questions and even if she told them who she was, they wouldn't even recognize her or her name because she just arrived at this realm a week back and without any other words to tag it as... She was Lost.
"None of your business, I will help you out of this situation. But your dragon will have to fly faster than ever before. Do you understand?" She asked and received no response for a bit before they both nodded.
"Cerberus" she called out into her mind and he sent her warm feelings before tracing her location and soon, he was landing and gasps filled her ears from behind her.
"M-"
"Finish that word and I will kill you myself" she warned and the woman shut her mouth quickly with eyes blazing with fear.
"Come on, we don't have much time before they return" she said as she let Cerberus pick her up and put her on his back then they got into position.
The couple did as she said and we were soon on air, she flanked them as they flew for the city and soon she began to fall behind as they left the forests for good and she returned back to the caves.
"Where have you been?" Zena questioned with concern etched into her facial expression and she felt a warm feeling rouse in her heart.
"You were worried?" She found herself asking, her voice low with emotion, a warm one that she had lost long ago.
"Of course we were worried, Logan went to meet with Sage to go search for you" Zedner explained and she scrunched her face up.
"Let him suffer for a while" she mumbled and they laughed with amusement.
"I'll go tell Feral to inform Sage that you're back" Zedner walked off with a chuckle.
Soon, Logan stomped into the caves and his eyes landed on hers almost immediately before he stalked up to her and pulled her to her feet.
"You have a problem" he spat out and she smirked as she leaned into his face, voice dropping an octave lower.
"You have an issue with that?" She questioned and he pushed her away and she was shocked to see a trail of red by his throat. He was embarrassed..?. That was quite confusing and new.
"Don't go running off like that again" he said to her and she gave a nod of affirmation to him.
"I just wanted to clear my head" she responded and he nodded before going to sit down far from her person.
Soon, Zena passed around some huge dried rabbits and she ate to her full and finally fell asleep only to wake up and puke her guts out.
Cerberus and her had joined minds during the night and of course it had to be when he was devouring raw deer meat with Sage.. Eew, disgusting
