The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

16. Forbidden Bite

Dan Heng was enjoying a lot the food that was served. He was smiling and eating happily the food in his usual elegant way. Fenir was looking at him with an innocent smile as Teo was getting even more curious; his eyes were attracted by the jade horns of the dragon, who felt his stare and looked at him.

On the other side of the table, Blade was getting headache from all that "light" that Dan Heng was sending out with simply his presence there.

"So.." Blade turned to Fenir "I'd like to hear what's so important to tell to a mere swordman" he marked as he was already trying to tell him he didn't want to deal with anything.

Fenir smirked as Ayrin was looking at the two of them and eating in silence to then check sometimes on Teo and encouraging him to eat his food.

"Someone is on your trace"

Dan Heng flinched and opened up his eyes "How..."

Fenir sighed "Apparently the other mage guilds are awaken. Umi has sent his spies and thunderbirds to check on the area... It seems they want you Blade, or maybe you Dan Heng, but I wouldn't know why"

Blade felt awkard towards Fenir's tone as it was obvious he was acting.

Dan Heng looked at Blade to then sigh "I have... an unfinished business with them" he explained to then tilt his head as the swordman looked neutral as always.

"So what?"

Fenir looked at Blade and smiled "I know you're fearless, but Blade... We both know that they're not going to stop... I fear they might actually talk about him to the current Emperor to get reinforcements"

Dan Heng looked at Fenir "You know..." he looked at Blade "He knows?"

Blade almost killed him on spot with his stare "Dan Heng" he called him out and his eyes looked at Fenir, who crossed his arms.

With just one look at the Lord of the house, Ayrin took Teo away from the room and soon the butler and the maids left the room.

Dan Heng didn't know how to feel, he was confused, and Fenir could feel it just by the look of his eyes locked on something not specific.

"I guess you deserve to know something more about my relation with Blade" he smiled as he pointed at Blade, who looked a little worried about the next words of Fenir

"He doesn't need to know"

"Enough" Dan Heng looked at Blade with a serious stare "Please, you may continue"

Blade looked at Fenir, who smirked to then smile innocently "Well, you know vampires are long life creatures, of course I was... a big friend of Blade" he laughed a little innocently "You have to understand something... All the creatures who have lived during the previous Emperor, will always remember and fear about anything related to his Era to return... Blade is the example... We do remember, and we do not forget" his smile was a little evil "We do not forgive as you probably do not know... Treasure, but while you were in comfort in the Palace... The Emperor managed to gather so much power that he wanted to wipe all the creatures... Vampires, half dragons, sirens..."

Dan Heng looked at Blade and kept himself quiet as he understood why the swordman wanted him to stay silent.

Fenir knew indeed, but he didn't know he was the Imbibitor Lunae, literally a God.

And apparently even Umi covered him up on that.

Honestly he didn't know if he had to tell him at that point, not like he could have done anything since Blade was there and he was sure he wouldn't have let anyone get him anymore.
