The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

28. My Last Embrace

"... and so our amazing expedition to take care of the deers of our Queen has been a success thanks to my unit who was of course guided by me"

"Woah" Dan Heng looked surprised at Evias deeds, who smiled proud to then look at Blade, who looked like he wasn't even listening.

"Very interesting, I am sure those deers became a good dinner"

Dan Heng looked at Blade, who commented without even looking at the two walking behind him. The swordman didn't know how to feel about the fact Dan Heng would somehow always get people around him and be that talktive or pleasant to be around.

Why were people always falling for that adorable God? Nuisances.

Evias didn't look evil but he still wasn't trusting him to be around Dan Heng, that's why he just wanted to rush away from the forest and bid a farewell. Not like he did hate Evias, because sometimes he would get a feeling of understanding. Maybe because the way he was talking about his comrades, made him unlock again the memories..

Back to when he was riding with his unit through the countries, fighting together, enjoy victory feasts, and share so many memories, a special oath that was doomed...

To then be the one who did put an end to something so beautiful.

"Oh c'mon! The Queen's Deers shall not be touched! They're sacred creatures, but our far lands sometimes get easily humans, who are into creating troubles" he sighed "Black marketers can't help but kidnapping elves to cut our precious ears or our creatures because they have special abilities"

"Oh my..." Dan Heng commented "Are there still many cases?"

Evias laughed and Blade almost gnashed his teeth when he saw the elf laying his hand between the two horns of the immortal "My little half dragon" he winked at him "I did manage to get in the dungeon many of those filthy merchants, I protect" Dan Heng opened his mouth as his eyes were looking like there were stars in it. Evias felt proud to then look hurt, staring at Blade "But sometimes... I do need protection myself, a man can't always be the one saving" he closed his eyes dramatically and Dan Heng looked at Blade, who totally ignored it

"Selling elf ears" Blade sighed "Just... why" he looked at his own hand, feeling always so unworthy for the immortal. Dragons, Elves, even Vampires were better than humans, yet the immortal was stuck with him. Blade, for how much honor as a swordman had, and also reputation, he couldn't help but feeling the weight of rapresenting a disgusting race.

"Humans can be weird with their obsession" Evias explained to then make a little flick, showing his pointy ears to a Blade lost in his thoughts "Apparently some humans can't resist. I think they add more charm to someone already beautiful"

Blade looked at Evias, to then move a little his stare and look at Dan Heng, who tilted his head next to the Elf, who was waiting so hard on the swordman's reaction.

"I guess..." Blade looked away feeling flustered, as he couldn't help but loving the pointy ears of the immortal that were mostly covered by those long silky hair he wanted to caress. He actually thought about the fact that night he hadn't time to kiss him there and he felt even more ashamed "Damn"

Evias felt another arrow straight to his heart "Did he just... confess I am beautiful?" the elf tried to show himself proud and determinate, while in his mind he was feeling hearts and butterflies "Ah, I knew it, love at first sight"

Dan Heng was confused by Blade's reply. Yichen flew around till making his earring ring and suddendly he couldn't help but smiling amused by the swordman indirect compliment.

Dan Heng was at ease with his heart, he knew Blade and he did belong to each others. Everything in his spirit was balanced, but for some reasons he would still blush a little whenever the man he loved was nearby, giving him compliments or showing affection.
