Aeon helped her rode a black dragon that's smaller compared to the other dragons in the stable. As he held her waist to assist her, Briar felt his warm touch. It was comforting. It eased her fear.
When she was finally on the dragon, Aeon rode behind her. She felt his body's warmth. It was really comforting. She felt her cheeks flushed red and her heart flutter endlessly. She was glad that the Lord couldn't see her or she'll be embarrassed.
"What's the dragon's name?" Briar asked as she felt the dragon's scales. It was smooth even though it looked rough.
"You can name it," the Lord said as he led the dragon to move. His breath fanned Briar's nape. It brought Briar a tingling sensation.
"What's your name?" Briar asked. "I never got your name."
Briar couldn't see it but the Lord smiled.
"Aeon," he answered. "Aeon Sancerre. But you can call me yours." Briar rolled her eyes.
"Where are we heading to?" She asked.
"To view my Realm," Aeon said then the dragon flew up high. Briar was surprised, she thought she would fell so she screamed. As she screamed, the Lord would laugh. When they were finally flying steady in the sky, Briar nudged him with her elbow.
"Damn you!" She screamed. Then she was captivated by the view. Her mouth opened in astonishment. Fireborn Realm was beautiful. The volcanoes were calm and the houses were aligned neatly, forming a spiral. The scene was breathtaking because each of it compliments everything. The volcanoes, houses, etc. The color red, brown and gold. Then she noticed that the castle was at the middle of everything.
"This is the Fireborn Realm," Aeon whispered. "People protect each other and each of them protects the Realm itself."
"It's beautiful," Briar honestly said.
"The beauty in front of you will be yours tonight," Aeon said. Briar's eyes widen.
"We're getting married tonight?" She exclaimed. She began to feel nervous. She still doesn't want to marry him. She wants to marry Carlos.
"Tonight is the night you'll be the Fireborn Realm's Lady," Aeon said.
That night, when Leila went to the bride's room. She was surprised to see it empty. She immediately ran to inform the Lord.
The Fireborn people were all shocked when they saw a black dragon soaring in the air. It couldn't be the Lord. Why would he flee on his wedding night when he invited all of his people?
Another dragon flew in the air,bigger than the black one. It was colored red with gold at the hinges. They knew the only person who can ride that dragon. It's their Lord, but who was riding the black dragon?
"Briar Kinsella!" Aeon screamed her name as he followed her.
"I don't want to marry you!" Briar screamed as she held tightly on her dragon.
