The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

18. Embracing

"Do not move, do not do anything anymore. Got it?"

"Fine."

"Never again..."

Dan Heng crossed his arms and sighed at Blade's words as the swordman was looking around with the little pet dragon flying around him

"We're both alive, I don't understand what troubles your mind" the immortal asked as he was looking at the big stone gate in front of them.

"At first I thought you were about to use your body to muffle the fall, that was my duty, not yours if that was going to happen" Blade tried to slash the stone door using all his strenght he had, but it looked like it wasn't even getting attacked.

"I am a God, we were in danger, and Yichen is always happy to help" he explained as he was pointing at the big dragon, who was happily laying on the ground with the immortal almost sleeping on him.

Blade turned to the two, to then look at the little pet dragon floating next to him. His red eyes glowed and the pet dragon did a twirl to then fly next to Dan Heng, feeling like he was about to be used as boiling water.

Blade couldn't get exactly what happened during the fall, because his head was just sending him the sensations of the immortal's fingers through his hair and his gentle but tight hug. Around them there were waterdrops that slowly shined and formed a big dragon that flew around them in order to create a big bubble that would make them float to the ground.

He couldn't help but focus on the frame of Dan Heng falling, but smiling warmly at him once their hands were holding. He couldn't understand. A lot of things around the immortal were just confusing, such as his feelings.

"I thought it was essential... Did you think I would have let you use yourself to muffle the fall?" Dan Heng asked and Blade tilted his head

"Yes?" he said with an obvious stare, making the immortal laying the fingers on his temples.

"Stubborn" he whispered to then leave a side-eye to the swordman "I wouldn't have let you do it."

"I can't die" Blade smiled evilly and Dan Heng gnashed his teeth

"You regenerate fast, but this doesn't mean you're invincible and... Even so... You do still feel pain."

"It's the only thing that makes me believe I am somewhat human and alive" the swordman sighed to then look at the stone gate "Actually... Could you explain why we ended up here? Did your..." he almost laughed "Best friend Lum play a game with you?"

Dan Heng looked at Blade and moved a little his arms nervously "Stop mocking her! She was hurt okay? I don't know as well why she took us here"

"Oh right, next time since she's hurt, our lady will make you be eaten by wolves or something else, who knows?" he asked and Dan Heng sighed

"She was hurt, but if you do not consider the fall, she actually didn't do anything bad"

"If you do not consider.." Blade tried to repeat his words, but he laid the hand on his own face "If you do not consider the fall? It was the MAIN REASON WHY" he tried to calm himself "We were in danger."

"I am sure she was still trying to recover from all the awful mana with me... She would be more hurt than us anyway" Blade tilted his head with a puzzled stare as Dan Heng was literally cuddling the earth of the place whispering "It's okay, I am back"

"So cute, I think she likes you to death" he smiled evilly and the immortal crossed his arms with a puzzled stare. He laughed a little to then kick the gate and sigh "Do you have any brilliant idea?"
