sarri
As the sanctuary disappeared beneath us I could not help but be afraid of what was to come. Not only for what we intended to do or where we were intending to go but I was afraid of what would happen in the time in-between reaching our destinations. As the wall surrounding the sanctuary sank away I looked forward instead of down. I did not want to see the faces of those that stared, wondered if we would succeed, for I did not think we would. Even if Drake knew about those on the borders or even if he had meet them why would they have reason to help? It is not their battle therefore they have no reason to join us in this fight. I snuck a glance at Drake he was looking straight ahead to any human his face would not change with emotions but I noticed with the slight way his fang showed a little more and the way his ears were pulled back further then usual. I sighed to myself as I turned away to again stare before me. I did not know what tomorrow would bring or what the outcome for this battle would be but what I did know was that I had to do everything I could to keep Drake at arm's length and to save Dralic from Alicia and her evil.
Epilogue Drake
The sanctuary lay behind us, we were headed towards the unknown and all I could think about was her. When I looked into her face saw it I was overcome by anger. Even though in human form our race sometimes function like the dragons we are, in saying this I felt the primal urge to protect my mate. Questions surrounded me, why did anyone want to hurt her? Who was it that would strike her hard enough to split her lip? The dragon in me vowed to find out and whoever it was would pay for what they had done. I knew she would not tell me who had done it therefore I also vowed to make her stop fighting what I knew was inside her heart. I had to make her see that despite what might happen it is better to have what time we do have together in happiness. This time alone with her was my best chance to prove that to her, to prove that our love can overcome all obstacles. To prove that we were destined (even by those that preceded us) that we were meant for each other. I had to make her see that I would never hurt her and that I would protect her from the being that would dare touch her with such malice. I felt her eyes on me and knew that she would see that, in that moment I knew she would surcome to our love. In that moment I knew that it would all be worth it. My mind made up I spread my wings further and push faster into the inevitable future, a future that we would face together side by side as was destined to be and together we would save Dralic.
