Chained Dragons Evermore

Betrayal

Saphira's POV.

As we hugged Riven helped me get dressed. I was trying to think of any possible way to save us. I knew there was nothing that could save us. "Do you think we made it in another universe?" Asked Riven. I hugged him tightly. "We couldn't even make it in this one," I said. I cried as the copper knife weakened me again.

"It has to go through your heart or it won't leave and everyone dies" I said. I spoke with so much pain that it hurt me to listen to it. Riven's eyes only hurt me more. He knew what had to be done. I just couldn't go through with it. "It will be okay," said Riven. I shook my head no as more tears came down my face.

He grabbed my hand that held the blade in my hands. He pressed it over his heart. I cried even harder as he gave me a smile. "I hope we get our revenge against the Druids," said Riven. I never felt such rage in my life. I wanted to kill every Druid I saw. No one could know such pain as mine. I had to do this for what good.

This isn't for my happiness, health, or heart. This wasn't for Rivne's sake. This wasn't for anyone I cared about. This is only for a species, a race that I'm not even fond of for what they did to me and treated me as. Why is my mate on the line for them? We did nothing wrong to deserve this. I kept crying here.

Unable to fathom what I was going to do. Riven's hands were holding mine to keep the copper blade over his heart. "This is yours. I'm sorry for what I said before" he said. I shook my head knowing it was my mistake. I have the worst communication skills. "I'm sorry" I said as tears kept falling from my eyes.

"I know you will live without me but please be happy" he said, begging me. I shook my head again, unable to see that happening. "Make our dream come true," he said. I knew the one he was talking about. He has only ever wanted peace from the dragons. I promise to keep his dream alive forever. That was the only thing I knew about him. I didn't have time to get to know him.

"My heart is yours" said Riven as I pushed the sword into his chest as we kissed. My lips didn't leave his until he was lifeless. I let go of the sword and helped his body. The pain from the mark made me scream. The sword disappeared and dragons came rushing towards us. I cried even louder as I held him.

Everyone went to the volcano to celebrate as I took Riven's body to our sanctuary. A few dragons followed me to help. They were believers of mates and now I was the only one left unable to see a future for fated dragon mates. The dragon made a fireplace as female dragons made a gold necklace. We burned Riven since I had no idea how he brought me back to life.

His secret died with him. We put his ashes in the necklace and left it for the lord of this land. Riven didn't want rulers but he did want leaders for each section of flights. Deep down I knew he liked this idea better. Me and the dragons that wanted this future took off to the Volcano and removed Lisette from her order.

"I hate you dragon mates" she said in anger. "Don't worry friend you will need us again" I said, snapping at her. My will for anything was at a low chance. "Well you did it, the Druids left the continent by your treaty" said Lisette. "Good, I hope everyone doesn't remember what happened here" I said. She nodded her head and I never looked back. From talking behind her throne that was being torched by dragon flames.

I disappeared to the forest overlooking the flights that now separated the dragon territory. Red Rock Flight, Eclipse Flight, Black Sun Flight , Meadow Wind Flight, Glacier Point Flight, Water Locke Flight, Soaring Mountain Flight, and lastly Demon Flight. In all memory for Riven. Nobody would remember this came from him.

I didn't mind people forgetting what had happened. People believed I died before the Druids left. I watched them all leave after Claude. I needed to make sure nobody ever came back. He was the monster who did this. My branding has not been erased and hurts whenever I breathe. I should be dead but I survive in the woods. I just wait until they come back.

I will be more prepared and I would rather waste my life waiting for the Druids to return so I can take my revenge on what they have done to me. If there is peace I have nothing to gain. I won't take my revenge without a reason and I won't start a war. Riven wanted peace and I will give him that as his ashes stayed in the necklace of a lord's family. Passed down through different generations.

He can see his dream working for all generations. Lords will have their dragoness and they will have kids which I believe Riven would have wanted. I mean I wouldn't know I never even had the chance to ask him. I think if scenarios of conversations I would have liked to talk about with him. Riven may have known that I was coming soon since Druids weren't the only people existing in this world anymore.

Dragon hunters started coming along but I had no interest in being a part of another fight. They weren't Druids but I had to make sure. They were just plain humans who killed dragons throughout the years. I was wasting my life away in the forest not helping. I didn't want to help. Everyone took too much from me.

I was glad nobody said Lisette's name anymore. She kept her name as dragon god. I heard after I called her friend it was a sign to know her name. Things have changed throughout the years. Of course dragons couldn't keep any peace. They started fighting each other. Another day, another war. I was killed by hunters soon after taking all my secrets with me. Join Riven in death, waiting for revenge.
