The Secret Bl

Updates @ 11:00 and 11:05 (+8) What can be considered a treasure? Brandon was the largest dragon there was. His old scales alone could buy an entire country. But he did not have a treasure to speak of. Just gold, glistering gems, and a homey cottage where he hid when the goings got tough. One day, as he was collecting wild herbs, he found his treasure. Beaten, with a slavery rune on him, barely alive. Pan was not much, but to Brandon, he was a treasure. A treasure fit for a dragon.

PROLOGUE I stood in the shadows, watching her. She was a vision of loveliness, her long blonde hair cascading down her back like a river of gold. Her bright blue eyes sparkled as she laughed, her full lips curving upwards in a radiant smile. But I wasn't here to admire her beauty. I was here to protect her. As a former CIA agent, I had seen my fair share of danger. But nothing could have prepared me for the assignment that lay ahead. Ava Morales, the beautiful woman standing before me, was the daughter of a wealthy and influential businessman. And she was in grave danger. A stalker had been threatening her for weeks, sending her creepy messages and gifts. The police were stumped, and Ava's father had hired me to keep her safe. I had been watching her for days, studying her routine and her habits. I knew her favorite coffee shop, her favorite restaurant, and her favorite park. I knew the way she walked, the way she talked, and the way she laughed. But despite all my knowledge, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing something. That there was something more to Ava's story, something that I hadn't yet uncovered. As I watched her, a shiver ran down my spine. I had a feeling that this assignment was going to be a lot more complicated than I had anticipated. And I was right.

“Evil God of the Universe, You are in every space and time. Present in every dimension of reality and govern the darkness of our world. Oh, almighty Atticus! Hear our plea and grant us your presence tonight, awaken my Lord!” The rain had completely stopped and the strong gale had subsided into the fading raindrops. The night had turned eerily silent and only the sizzling and cackling of the fire entered their ears. Suddenly, they all felt like floating from their feet despite setting foot on the watery, hard ground, as if they were traversing into space. The darkness of the night gradually turned darker, enveloping them, morphing into everyone, like a void eating them slowly. Sequentially, their breathing turned oddly slower. Despite exaggeratedly inhaling air to breathe, it was to no avail, as if a higher entity was limiting them from breathing. Nolan felt his throat and tried to open his mouth to gasp more air but failed. Everyone but him was in a state of indignation and panic as they struggled to breathe to fill their lungs with air. Nolan tried to calm his heart. He closed his eyes and stopped inhaling air in pure panic, instead, he put his heartbeat and breathing into a rhythm. It was hard at first, but after a minute, he found his breathing gradually went stable. His whole being was in pure anticipation of what was going to happen next. After a couple more minutes, the storm completely subsided, the night turned to normal. Nolan remained standing, taking in his surroundings with his eyes closed. Everything turned silent. The eerie atmosphere and the crackling of the fire from the hay figure didn’t even enter his ears. Nolan waited for a couple more minutes, his breathing turning normal. He was reluctant to open his eyes, afraid he might ruin their ritual. “It’s alright now, Young Master. You can open your eyes now.” Nolan’s breathing hitched. He jolted on his feet as he fluttered his eyes open. “Atticus? W-why are you here?” The butler, standing in front of him, a raincoat hung on his arm, smiled. “I am everywhere, Young Master, in order to best serve you.” **** Atticus, a demi-god from the underworld, was cast out of his parents' realm and banished to the human world. The reason? He had yet to give them any grandchildren. Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction and is purely the product of my imagination.
