I Am Part Ice And Light

14. Their Demise

Keona aggressively pulled Seena by his white collared shirt through her doorway. Seena widened his eyes in shock. Usually the Keona he knew was very modest and civilized when it came to such explicit acts. But Seena guessed tonight would prove him all wrong. Keona roughly pulled Seena by his neck and ruffling her fingers into his soft black hair and over his tanned carmel skin she loved touching so much. As she smashed her lips animal-like into Seena's. Seena groaned a little bit but soon returned the same passion she had for him. He grasped her by her back and wrapped his arms around her like the day of them in the first that seemed so long ago. They roughly fiddled their clothes off step by step as they made their way through the night becoming one in the moonlight.

-With Charlie-
Charlie winced at the sound of drunk partiers walking up and down the stairs of the dungeons. The dragons were getting relentless too. A few of them actually gently blew some fire at some of the by-passers, obviously when Charlie or Pacifica weren't looking otherwise they would get scolded.

Most of the town folk would find it odd for dragons to be seemingly pushed around by such unqualified people that were so small compared to their gigantic size. But it wasn't who they were status wise or how big they were. For the dragons it's was about having someone bring there to protect them and take care of them. Yes, many of the mature dragons could fend for themselves in the wild and take on a few prison guards but people outside of Bulifica could and would kill dragons all the time.

Those Snatchers would torment and kill dragons for powers they believe would be given to them if they killed enough it got something like hold from them. But they were all wrong. There weren't many Snatchers in Bulifica if there were any at all. The Queen set out a manhunt for them in the kingdom because she knew what destruction they could bring if not extinct in her kingdom. But outside of Bulifica were many of them and it wasn't just the Queen who had a few experiences with the Snatchers but mostly the dragons.

Most of the dragons in the dungeons were recused from Snatchers. Mainly known, Albert, he was found by Celestria when she was a child that's why he had such a odd and childish name. She found him at the border of the forest that would be Seena's home for 15 years, but her finding Albert would be over 25 years ago. He was a small little thing that almost didn't make it based off malnutrition and him being all alone in the forest. Ironically that would be the same day she met Charlie in the market.

The day she escaped out of the castle for the day and the maids to the knights weren't crazy looking for her. With little Albert in her bag unnoticed, as she almost attacked by those local jerks. Then as the years went by and Albert became the size of her room, her love for him never faltered. Celestria loves Albert so much, even when her and Charlie were fighting he would always be there for her. Always. Thus, after Pacifica was born Albert became like a self proclaimed Godfather to Charlie and Celly's daughter.

Which also meant, with Celly's absence, Albert was heartbroken just as Charlie and Pacifica. After Charlie had heard enough of the drunks he headed down the big old grey stoned stair case as she studied the piece of armory on his arm that was clear he could see his reflection. Yet, sadly enough he believed is he looked close enough into his eyes through the metal he could almost see his Celly's own eyes through his.

As he finally made it down the staircase he fought sight of his daughter casually talking and laying next to Albert, talking about her day and how much she learned today about herself and her powers. Charlie always made Pacifica work on her powers because that's what made her mother so dangerous was that she didn't know how to use them until he met Charlie who would secretly have her use her powers to control them to prevent possible accidents and to protect herself if something happened to him.

He looked back at the floor and pushed some of his black hair to the side and out of his face as he pulled out an old, ugly, green and broken looking chair and sat on it, carelessly. He tugged the big tin of weapons in the corner of his room as well as a big round and even stone that he held in his right hand.

He leaned the tin over barely his left thigh and pulls out a big light blue bow and as well as silver tipped arrows. He started with slowly sharpening the arrows for a few minutes as he always does after he placed the bow carefully on his bed, knowing they're not for him or  Pacifica.

He made that bow a long time ago for Celestria when he found out she was pregnant to protect her self if she couldn't use her powers and if he wasn't there.  He painted it blue because he really believed they were going to have a boy but later added the little angel in the middle when Pacifica was born. He remembered when Celestria had to hide her baby bump throughout the year and he was grateful to God that she was her biggest during December in the winter to cover he up in coats.

He remembered being worried about what would happen to them, he knew he would most likely be executed if he was even caught with Celly, let alone with a baby, his baby. But he was worried about what would happy to their child and Celly.

He knew how powerful she was in her status but she seemed to forget that all the time and push her social boundaries with the status quo. But that's was made him fall in love with her even more. He remembers fighting off his feeling for her for so many years because he though it would be for the best, but he knew once Celestria was on board with their relationship being a secret there would be no stopping then.

He missed Celestria everyday and even though there's some painful regrets of them not being together especially since they were split more than ever now. He wouldn't trade what they had for the world and every time he began to doubt that love he would simply look at their daughter. He got to seen part of Celly everyday through her. She had her father's tall and slimming figure as well as the long thick and semi curly black hair with her mother's fair skin and deep chocolate brown eyes. But mostly her mother's heart and her father's mind.

Charlie then switched to his traditional sword that was wide at the bottom and slowly got sharper with a curve at the top. He started to sharp that one more aggressively the more he thought about Celestria, first his sorrow then anger filled his arms and clouded a part of his mind.

Why hadn't she come back if she was still alive? Did she really even care about their family? He had been with no other woman besides her, why had she not come back!? Is she even alive?

Then a deep worry hit him in the heart. As his hand on the blade softened as he held back the stressed out tears that tried to leave his eyes. Pacifica sensed his distraught and was about to walk over to her father. Then Charlie stood still in his mind as well as his body, almost statue like.

Where was she? Where would he be if she was buried or alive right now? Where was s-? Then suddenly Albert started to roar deeply and as the other dragons almost like a riot in the ceiling because they starting breathing fire and lighting up all the ceiling candles. Yet their seemingly helpful fire breathing soon turned into a frenzy and Charlie called Pacifica and the dog into his room that had a door that was fire proof. Charlie held the door closed and heard the way the dragons screamed in a warning and panic type of way and realized.

It was the exact same way then they felt Celestria come with that way 15 years ago. Then he felt his heart stop for half a second. Celestria's back.

She's in the castle.
