Chapter96. Draco’s POV: In my dream
As I lay in my slumber, I felt myself slipping away into a realm of wonder and enchantment. My body felt weightless, as if I were soaring through the sky, and the world around me was awash with colors that I had never seen before.
I saw her then, my Liana, standing before me with a grace that only a human could possess. Her hair was as dark as the night sky, and her eyes glowed with a fire that could rival the stars. I felt my heart leap with joy at the sight of her, and I rushed to her side.
She smiled at me, a smile that was both familiar and foreign all at once. “Draco,” she said, her voice echoing through the dreamlike landscape. “It’s been so long.”
I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. “Liana,” I whispered. “I missed you so much.”
But instead of reciprocating she said something that sliced my heart up further.
“I have to go,” she said, her voice soft and gentle. “But know that I will always be with you.”
I was not ready to listen to anything. Not with her right in front of me once more.
I pulled her into a tight hug. My force might have crushed her bones had we been in the real world. But since this was a dream, I was free to do whatever I could.
As we embraced, tears streamed down my face, and I held her tightly, never wanting to let her go. “I have missed you so much,” I whispered again, my voice choked with emotion.
“I know,” she replied, holding me just as tightly. “But you have to let me go, Draco. You have to let me go.”
I pulled away from her then, looking into her eyes. “No, I can’t,” I said, my voice shaking. “I can’t let you go again.”
She stroked my cheek gently, a look of deep love in her eyes. “You have to, my love,” she said softly. “You have to find a way to move on. You have so much to live for, so much to give to the world.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“But I don’t want to,” I said, my voice rising with desperation. “I don’t want to live in a world without you.”
“You won’t be alone,” she replied, wiping away my tears. “You have Damian. You have your people, your dragons. You have so much to be grateful for.”
“But none of it matters without you,” I said, my voice breaking. In the real world, I wouldn’t believe what I had just said. But since this was a dream, I was free to be honest. “I need you, Liana. I need you more than anything.”
She hugged me again, and we stayed like that for a long time, crying and holding onto each other with all our strength. “I love you, Draco,” she whispered in my ear. “I will always love you. I always have. ”
And then the turmoil began, the dreamworld crumbling around us. As we embraced, the dream shifted, and the surroundings became more mystical and magical. The sky turned dark, and a sudden wind started to blow, as if the elements themselves were responding to our reunion.
Liana’s eyes widened with fear, and she stepped back from me. “Draco, something is wrong,” she said, her voice trembling.
I looked around, trying to see what was causing her fear, but I could find nothing out of the ordinary. “What is it?” I asked, my own voice starting to shake.
“I don’t know,” she replied, looking around frantically. “It’s like the dream is falling apart.”
As she spoke, the world around us started to dissolve into mist, and I felt a sense of panic rising within me. “Liana, we have to get out of here,” I shouted.
But before I could reach out to her, she was suddenly engulfed by a blinding light, and a piercing scream echoed through the dreamworld. I tried to run to her, to save her from whatever was happening, but she was gone before I could reach her.
I stood there, alone in the mist, and tears streamed down my face. “Liana!” I shouted, my voice breaking. “Come back to me!”
But there was no response, no sign that she had ever been there at all. And I knew then that this dream, this reunion, was not meant to be. She was gone, and I was alone once more.
