Snake Demon Emperor's Dragon

●Chapter 21●

I sat on the green grass at the meadows as the stars and moon shines the sky so bright as I hold my beloved on my arms as I felt his life was slowly being taken away. I only noticed that Mirios' friends with Cero, Yaz-R and Khaldun were just sitting behind us meters away so they can leave us alone for a moment to spend time with Mirios again after I let him go off alone and get captured.
As I looked at his face, he's still beautiful like the first time I met him in the woods where I saved him from those humans. His scales were still gleaming because of the moonlight. His hair was flowing along the cold wind as the scent of blood flows along with the scent of RoseMary.

"Isn't the moon lovely tonight?" Mirios asked in his weak voice.
"Yes. Yes, it is." I said as I felt my voice being swallowed by rage and sadness.
I tried to hold my sadness and rage at the same time so that he won't noticed how I really felt after he saved me from Ambrose.
"What's the matter? Why are...you sad?" Mirios asked as he put his hand on my cheek
I held his hand as I try to hold back my tears. No. I can't cry in front of him yet.
"Miri. Remember the first time we met? The first time I see you, that was....the first time I got attracted to you because you're strong and independent. But,...." I couldn't say anything anymore as I felt warm tears roll on my cheeks as I just hold his hand.

"You never do this before. This is the first time I see you cry, Hebi." he said as I just realized I was already crying
"Mirios! Please, forgive me! This is all my fault that I couldn't save you!" I said while still holding him
"Don't cry for me, Hebi. Seeing you again is enough. Just keep smiling for me. Our love..is enough." he said, caressing my face.
I realized I couldn't hide what I really felt. I don't want to loose him. I just wanna be with him, hold him in my arms and seeing him smile
"Miri. I don't want to loose you. Please. Don't leave me." I said as I couldn't stop my tears while looking at his face and I noticed he's crying also.
"Hebi...Seeing you also makes me happy. You make me smile. You melt my cold heart because of your warm smile. That was enough for me." he said.

I couldn't stop crying. Seeing him dying makes me hurt than the other innocent ones I killed years ago. He was different from the other creatures. As I held him close, I can hear the others' conversation at the back
"I never seen Hebi cry like this before?" Akira said
"He's maybe cold, evil or kinky sometimes, but this is the first time I see him cry also." Yaz-R said
"An idiot like him can be softened by love and now he lost it." Cero said
They're right. I never cried in front of anyone, even in front of Kigiri. Now, I did show how I really felt when the one I loved was being taken away
"Don't waste your tears in me, my love. I've always wanted this to happen for so long." Mirios said
"No. Don't say that. Stay with me please. Don't leave me." I said, holding his hand.
"Hebi..."
I looked at him and...he smiled. I finally see him smile again.
"My love for you and our memories was enough." he said with a smile and tears on his eyes.
I lean closer and share our last kiss.

I can't believe he saved me and died for me. As I slowly pulls back, he went limp on my arms.
"Miri?" I said
"Mirios?"
I shook him gently and touch his wrist
