In the Siren Kingdom
"Leave us. Stay nearby in case I need you." the Queen instructed her messenger, Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was a lone siren, his family was killed when he was still young, he didn't have anyone to go to nor did he have a colony. Until the Queen found him, raised him like her own son. When he became of age, he wanted to join the siren troops but the Queen declined the idea. With the reason that she couldn't lose anyone else she cared for.
"As you wish my Queen." Zhang Wei said leaving the two siblings in privacy.
"Nice to see you again Ju Zhai" The Queen said with a plastered smile on her face that showed her sharp teeth. You'd think for someone who hadn't seen her sister in a century. She'd atleast put on a genuine smile.
"Spare me the pleasant greetings Ju Fen. Why did you want to see me?" Ju Zhai said irritated by her sister's kind gestures.
"Still your crappy self I see. Well then let's cut to the chase. First of all, I want to know why you never sent me any information about my children. Second of all, Why doesn't Quang Ho live with you? When I left my children with you, I told you that they always had to be together. Like a family should. Thirdly and the most important of all, Why did you try to separate GangZhi from his mate?"
"To answer your first question, I was alittle bit occupied with the responsibility of taking care of your children, I didn't really get time to pay you a visit and Quang Ho doesn't live with us because Gang Zhi wants to rip him apart. Those two can't be in the same room for more than 10minutes."Ju Zhai explained trying to justify her decisions. If there was one thing Ju Zhai feared, it was her sister's wrath.
"You separated my children!!!!!" Ju Fen growled.
"I did what I had to do to protect them." Ju Zhai growled back her silver eyes glaring straight into her sister's silver purple ones
"And trying to kill Gang Zhi's mate. Were you protecting him then?" Ju Fen asked
"Yes,I can't let that kid become the Quadbrid's mate. Gang Zhi needs someone who can give him an heir to the throne. That kid had to be killed."
"That kid is the Dragon Queen's son and MY son's mate. The only person that can make Gang Zhi happy."
"Your OK with your son's mate being a man. A man. That man won't give Gang Zhi a child, a successor. Gang Zhi doesn't need love, he needs an heir. You think that kid who isn't even half Gang Zhi's age, will change him. That kid doesn't even know his power. Gang Zhi will always remain a monster, he tried to kill me and his brother twice. Your son is a beast, a monster that can't be tam......" Ju Zhai sput before a strong arm tightened around her neck.
"That's it. I'm tired of your irritating voice. I'm going back to land. I rid you of all responsibilities you had. I'm taking back my children." Ju Fen growled "Zhang Wei!!!!" she called out. "Lock her up. Away from my Kingdom and away from land. I don't want her anywhere near my children." she ordered throwing Ju Zhai in Zhang Wei's grasp.
"You can't lock me up. Your children won't be happy to see you. You abondoned them for your kingdom. They're going to hate you." Ju Zhai yelled trying to free herself.
"And what do you think Gang Zhi will do to you when he finds out you tried to kill his mate before and after he was born? You tried to kill an innocent child that didn't choose his own destiny. Whether my children hate me or not, That's my problem not yours. I don't even know what I was thinking leaving my children with you. You only care about power. A person who doesn't value family, shouldn't belong in one." Ju Fen said already agitated with her sister's remarks. "Lock her up. Make sure she doesn't free herself before I come back. While am gone your incharge. Tell my people I'll be back as soon as possible." she added.
"My Queen. If your going to land, you'll need someone to guide you. The world of man has changed alot. You might get lost."
"I appreciate your concern Zhang Wei but I've already informed the Shung Yi wolf pack. I'll meet the alpha at shore. I want five guards on standby , two guarding Ju Zhi 24/7 and three beside you at all time. Protect my people." Ju Fen said swimming away.
*************
"I can't do this anymore. I'm tired. I've tried everything to connect with my dragon but I can't. I'm a failure." Hao Tieng cried out feeling exhausted. He had been trying to connect with his Dragon for the past three days but it never showed up.
"You just have to try a little bit more." Mrs Xiu encouraged her son.
"All I've done is try,try and try some more. I've done everything you've told me. Bribing didn't work, I tried talking to it. Thinking of the happy memories I had. Happiness, love, joy. Nothing worked. What else do you want me to do?"
"There's one thing you haven't tried."Mrs. Xiu said after some good minutes of talking to her Dragon. "Fear" she added.
"You want to scare me. Ohh Hell no. You know I get scared easily." Hao Tieng protested.
"I didn't mean scaring you, you fool. I want you to think of a moment when you felt the most fear. When you're scared of losing something or someone. Or maybe you're watching a horror and you jumped out of your seat. I want you to replay that moment in your head. Now sit back down and listen to my voice." Mrs. Xiu commanded. Hao Tieng sat back down on the wet grass and closed his eyes.
'When he avoided me. I was scared of not being able to see him again. Fuckkkkk If I ever said this aloud, I would sound so cheesy.' he mused.
