Ch.45

"Ragnol must be desperate for power if he tried to poison you then attempt to kill you within a day of your return from the Dusk Mountains," Darshan says this gravely, his eyebrows furrowed as he shoves his fork in his mouth while eating a late lunch on an armchair in Layla's bedroom.

"No offence Madeline," Layla explains, "but you've become a weakness to the Horde. If you die, that has the consequential potential to overthrow the power of Hael and ... well his brother doesn't like to be associated as a part of the Horde," Layla rolls her eyes at the last part, reclining on her bed with her hands behind her head.

I go quiet as I sit next to her on her bed, looking between Layla and Darshan, trying to work out how far their relationship has progressed. It was pretty obvious to me as soon as I walked in to say hello, they were flustered and anxious to keep the topic off themselves.

"Lochness is his own entity, that's for sure... so how's things going with the rest of the slaves, you both...?"

"What?" both Layla and Darshan respond in unison and very quickly.

There is an awkward silence as Darshan looks flustered and Layla locks eyes with me, connecting her mind to my own. She speaks to me personally.

I managed to make Darshan my personal slave by going through Hael's council... but now the whole Horde knows and they all think I'm a laughing stock for choosing a blind companion, Layla explains for me and a small amount of tears build up in her eyes.

"If you're referring to Layla and I," Darshan speaks up, about the same time Layla is also communicating with me, however he talks more nervously, "before you were kidnapped yesterday, she...well... she claimed me as a personal slave. I'm not sure whether to feel offended or privileged. I feel both," Darshan swiftly gets out the last part, going red in the face.

Madeline, he makes me happy, no one else makes me laugh so much or makes me feel safe. I'm so upset that my Horde has come to laugh about my choice. It's my choice, why do they care? Darshan is mine –

"Um," I'm bombarded as they talk to me almost at the same time, but my eyes widen at the choice of Layla's last statement. Darshan is mine. Well, shit, I guess female Dragon's also became possessive of their slaves – I mean friend – or wait, did they have a relationship? I didn't know. Oh my gosh, what if they were mates?

"She's talking to you, blocking me out of her mind link," Darshan says dryly, 'looking' at me by facing me, "I know because you're not saying anything. Honestly Layla, just tell me, you regret it. You're being looked down on, your Horde has lost respect for you because you chose me. What a stupid choice. To them, I can't even walk without someone holding my hand."

"Oh shush," I bud in and talk to Darshan, "We all know you can navigate these walls just fine. You've got a mental map in your head. Layla doesn't think low of you. She just wants others to accept you."

"So she did block me out of your mind-to-mind conversation?" Darshan grumbles, chewing fast now in frustration.

Layla sits up fast, tears roll down her cheeks as she glares at him; with love.
