Prologue
The wind was ruffling my fur but I didn't slow down. My pass padded across the surface faster than my heartbeat. The sunlight was starting to filter through the dense forest giving it a look of some horror story. But I was used to it.
In my human naked form,I sat near the pond which was hidden from everyone in this dense forest and the only place which can provide me solace. After a long tiring day of work at my own house like a maid was tiring and this place made me feel like home.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps and my body stiffened in alert.I walked towards the footsteps cautiously sniffing the air for a clue what it was but to no avail. I couldn't pinpoint it's species. My wolf was also getting restless inside me head.What I found shocked me to core.
A naked man having black wings was sagged near a Banyan tree. I knew that moment , this man was a Dragon. But what caught my attention was his bleeding chest. A pungent smell was radiating from it telling me that he was poisoned. A cough snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Wh..o.... are.. you?"he asked me with a coughing fit. I was quite wary about this man but my wolf was slightly in ease.
"I am Sapphire Knight and who you are if I may so boldly ask." I asked politely because I knew dragons are exceptionally strong and I can die here in his hands if he tried.
"Well I am the Dragon king but I don't think I will be, for a long time."he said with a hint of sadness in his tone, now a bit sobered from his coughing fit.
To say I was surprised would have been an understatement. I mean not only did I met a Dragon but also their infamous king. He was known to be cold hearted and vicious. He didn't like to make allies with other kingdoms. It is heard that he trusts his kingdom too much.
"Come on Mr. King , let's take you to the doctor"still aware of our nudity I wasn't quite comfortable being nude in front of a complete stranger but I didn't have time for these things.
"We both know, there is no hope for me this is my end tume"he laughed mirthlessly. And I knew by the looks of it no doctor can save him his eyes were dropping now his heartbeat was also beginning to slow down. But something told me to him and I always trust my instincts so I moved forward and kneeled beside him.
"Can, I try to heal you" I asked him softly.
He looked amused"how will you heal me little wolf "he said amused. I rolled my eyes at his remark, life is draining inside him and he is still joking.
"Well, I have some witch blood inside me which gives me healing powers though I don't use it"i told him"but you have to promise me that you will not leak my abilities to other peaope and will never bring any harm upon me directly or indirectly ".I didn't know why I trusted him too much but I did that I told him the secret that nobody knows my mom knew but she was now six feet under the ground. But, despite my instincts I needed his promise.
His amused expression change into disbelief. He thought I was lying. But still he decided to humor me.
"I promise" he vowed.
I sliced my left palm using my right hand claws. Blood started pouring out of the wound.
"Drinks" I commanded him softly.
" Little girl, I am not a vampire that I would drink your Blood" his voice lowBut disgusted he sounded like at any moment he would die.
"Goddamit, you don't have anything to lose, nothing will happen if you drink few drops of my Blood" I yelled exasperated. I am actually a calm person, I didn't remember the last time I raised my voice at someone but desperate time calls for desperate measures.
I thought he would again give me some of his witty remark but he silently drank my Blood. I pressed my left palm on his wounded area and started to chant the hymns for healing. I concentrated to make his small intestine digest the poison.
I slowly concentrated on closing his wound. I could feel my consciousness was slowly drifting away from me. I looked at him to see him looking at me wide eyes still sucking of my Blood. I couldn't help but gave him a smug smile.
As soon as I felt his wound closed completely, I welcomed the darkness willingly.
