477 The Long Lost Tale Part XXIII (1/2)

Abigail could see the determination and will in Alex's eyes and she believed in him. She believed that he would fulfil his promise again. But there was something in her chest that didn't want to let him go.

She tried her best to cast it aside and to put all her hope, trust and faith in him but the feeling was persistent and she couldn't help but feel scared. She thought about why she was feeling this unease but she couldn't quite figure out the reason.

Before Alex left that day, they both climbed up the hill to watch the sunrise together. A new day dawned and they felt like this sunrise symbolized the start of a whole new life for them both. They had confessed their love for each other and they had given each other everything the night before; their minds, hearts and souls.

As Alex watched the sunrise, his eyes blazed as intensely as the sun, looking even more determined to finish what he had started with his father so that he could finally get back to her and start the rest of their lives together.

They both made their way inside the mountain to where Lexus was resting.

When Lexus noticed their presence, he immediately rose up from the mist without Abigail calling him which surprised both Abigail and Alex, as if sensing that something was in the air.

Alex touched Lexus and didn't say anything but that one touch was filled with many emotions. It was almost as if Alex was wordlessly communicating with Lexus through that touch.

When it was time for him to go, Abi did her best not to cry. She smiled bravely at him instead and they kissed one last time before he finally disappeared from her sight.

…

Weeks passed by.

Alex had finally conquered the 5th kingdom. His army had become even bigger because of the number of soldiers he had taken from this 5th kingdom. But the strong human soldiers weren't the only prize he gained from this kingdom. He also found a woman named Dinah.

Dinah was about to be sold but she begged and pleaded and said that the blood of the dragon keepers ran through her veins. She claimed that she could be the next dragon keeper.
