Minutes passed by as both Draegon flew still holding the angel he had rescue earlier on. He couldn't help himself looking at her as she lay unconscious in his arms, putting her head on his chest. He could feel her breath tingle his chest.
After what felt like an hour, he came to an isolated forest, jerking her from her sleep he brought her to the ground
"Cover yourself and hide those wings of yours" he said as he gave her a cloth before adding "Wouldn't want to attract unwanted attention" taking the cloth from his hand reluctantly, she nodded while her wings seemed to have turned into sparks of light before disappearing
Hours later, Draegon and Alitia can be seen walking deeper into the forest, Alitia became to think whether asking the man in front her for help was the right option. She sighs while increasing her pace to catch up to him
"Where are we going to?" she asked as her pace began to slow down
"You will know when we get there" he retorted while tilting his head to take a look at her, he halted "If you're tired I can carry you" he spoke again, this time out of pity
Before long, they made a turn and stopped in front of a large boulder that seems to have been roughly cut. Putting his palm on it, he spoke a phase in a foreign tongue as the runes on his hand began to emitt a red glow and a tunnel began to emerge from the bouldee. Turning back to Alitia, who had a shocked expression written on her face
"We're here, he said before walking into the tunnel
..... Three years later.....
Alitia, smiled after recalling how they had met.'Who could have imagined that the legendary Draegon would fall in love and betrayed his people for someone loathed her own race' she thought as she smiled at how fortunate she was
Coming down from the boulder, he let's out a sigh as he recall the events of the past few months. How Alitia had conceived and had given birth to their son and how the two races had found out about their betrayal and had labeled their actions as treason
He didn't know whether to be happy at the birth of his son or to be sad at the fact that he's now a fugitive. He walks towards them and caress his son's cheek.
"We need to keep moving" he spoke before lifting Alitia and carrying her in his hands "Hold tight" he warned, not giving her time to respond before flying at a speed even considered abnormal even for the gods themselves. Alitia let's out a jerk as she tightens her grip around his arms
Draegon looks down at them as he let's out a sigh. These past few months hadn't been easy for them 'just hope we survive this mess'
Hours later, Draegon landed near a waterfall protruding from a rock, after confirming that no one had followed them, he floats towards the waterfall with Alitia in his arms. Passing through the waterfall, they came to a cave hidden by the waterfall. The cave was empty except for teleportation gate that emitted a faint blue glow. But before he could breath a sigh of relief, he heard footsteps behind them as his body became tense, from the oppressive aura that pressed both him and Alitia to the ground
Turning to see who could've exerted that amount of pressure, his eyes widened in shock as he saw the divine dragon god walking towards them, "Off all the people to betray the empire, I didn't expect it from you" his voice cold while his gaze shifted from Draegon who was now rooted to the ground, casting his gaze now at Alitia and her baby ; flash-stepping to where. Draegon was standing, he puts his hand on his shakey shoulder "Tell me, was it worth it?" he whispered into Draegon's ear
Leaping away from him, Draegon said, refusing to remove his gaze from him "Carry on without me, I'll try to stall for time"
"Do you really think I stand here and allow you to do that" the divine dragon said before blitzing passed Draegon, towards the portal but before he could destroy Draegon appeared by his side, landing a powerful kick to his side that sent him flying. "Now" Draegon screamed before going after him
Alitia, having recovered from the Shockwave caused by their impact, ran towards the portal, pouring all of her essence into the portal which now shone brightly with golden light, trying to recover her strength, she reached for where she had kept her baby. After picking up her son, she ran towards the portal, looking back, she noticed that half of the cave and the forest had been destroyed by the Shockwave of the battle. Hoping that Draegon would be ok, she ran towards the portal, jumping through it when all of a sudden a figured appeared in front of her destroying the portal
Draegon, now battered holding his broken right arm, looked back to see how Alitia was faring, when a figure blitz passed him
Wasting a split second to orient himself before chasing after the figure, he felt a shape pain at his ribs as he was sent to the mouth of the cave by the punch. Raising his head, he saw the divine dragon god destroy the portal,
"No!" he screamed, his body going unconscious. The last thing he saw was dark flames enveloping the entire cave
