I’m not an enemy
Jace’s POV
I watched how yielding Nana was as she lead the way, telling us to come after her. I followed after her eventhough Dain was sceptical about her.
“Don’t tell me you’re scared of her!” I teased, my gaze lurched at my front.
Dain halted in his steps, flashing his gaze at me. I know he was pained, he wanted to say something but he swallowed a lump.
“Yes, I’m scared.” He said, walking after us. “I’m scared I’ll rip her neck apart.”
Nana turned to glared murderously at Dain. Dain twitched at her glare, and darted his gaze towards me.
“I told you there’s something absurd about this girl!” Dain moved.
I nodded my head, my gaze rolling at Nana as she walked away from us.
“You’re worrying too much. If she pull some stunt, I’ll teach get some lessons. I’m her master!”
Dain snorted at my words, remaining quiet for the rest of the trip. It was approaching a nightfall when i suggested we camp, and sleep till the next day.
I and Dain walked deeper into forests to hunt for meat and food while I Instructed Nana to stay back.
We arrived later to ignite the stone which creates fire, the meat was roasted with each of us taking a chump out of the roasted meat.

The next day, Nana gestured with her hand she wants water. I urged Dain to stay behind and guide her while I look for water.
I search deeper inside the thick canopy of bushes for water but there was none in my sight. After searching futility for water, I intended to return back to them when I caught hold of two horses.
One which belonged to me, and the other to one of the followers of Jayden. What happens to him? Why was his horse here while he should be with Jayden?
Is he dead?
I could not stop myself from pondering.
I
arrived at their previous location, him in-between the two horses.
“What kind of magic is this?” Dain chuckled, finding his sight unbelievable.
“It’s not magic! I found them while I was looking for water.” I answered.
” Sorry Nana. I’ll esure they will allow you pass into the palace. You’ll be my bodyguards! I promised.
She gasped, her gaze lowering to her toes.

The next day, Dain was on his horseback while I and Nana shared one horse. We begin to ride through the path down to the great Nirvana mountain where the dragon reside.
While on the ride, I tried to formulate plans which help us to defeat the dragon and get the eggs.
We arrived there at noon, seeing the great mountain some feet away from our current spot. It was such a great sight to behold from afar.
“The sight is ugly and creepy. I feel like throwing up!” Dain said besides me, stretching his body.
“Do you think Jayden would not attack us?” Dain said in a slur, dragging the horse whips tightly.
The horse groaned at that, and he smirked.
I was quiet.
“What should we do if he dares to shoot an arrow at us?”
“You can’t harm the crown prince!” I said to silence him.
At that moment the winds begin to speak in my ears again. “I had chosen you because I knew you’re not that heartless! I want you to save the egg of the dragon from the wicked hands.”
“Thousand of years ago, there lived a dragon whose identity was hidden from the world because of its magical powers. Several of the world species had tried to capture the dragon, but all their efforts were in a waste as the spell formation had shielded the whereabouts of the dragon.”
“The effects of the spell would be neutralize the moment the dragon laid his eggs.”
“So why are everyone so concerned about the eggs? Is it dangerous?” I asked.
There was a sudden rush of air behind me, sending spikes down my spine.
“Because, the egg of the dragon would give them the power to conquer the world! And the blood of the dragon would make anyone who drink out of it to be an immortal. So, I’m imploring you to help save the dragon while you took the eggs to your Uncle.”
I was dumbfounded for a while, finding the new revelation so hard to digest.
“Why are you so concern about the dragon? You said the egg would give whoever possess it the power to rule the world, and you still need me to take the eggs to my uncle?” I inquired in a disbelief tone and the winds dies down.
Then, the winds resurged in the air again. “I don’t want to kill you or anyone. I want peace to reign but your uncle is seeking for his doom.”
“My weakness was of a werewolf species which had come into this world through my last channel of magic.”
“Your uncle killed me forty-five years ago and channeling my power into his veins to be able to rule the world. Why did you think he’s undefeatable?”
“Because he shares my ability to sense danger and sees through one weakness.”
The winds blew roughly into my ears, and I almost staggered.
“So what’s my weakness?” I asked.
He just said he could stare through someone weaknesses. “Compassion?” I added.
There was silence.
“First save the eggs cause I knew anyway your uncle would come after bezieda.”
“Who is bezieda? ” I asked.
“My mate.” The winds whispered into my ears.
“How do I save the eggs when my uncle had instructed us to bring the eggs back to him? The person who successfully delivered the eggs and killed the dragon would be appointed as the new viscount of Red mond Pack!”
“You don’t need the position!” The winds blew roughly against my ears.
My eyes widened in shock, and I almost gloated at the winds words.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
I don’t need it? Who doesn’t need to be powerful?
“You don’t need to be a viscount to become a great ruler!” The winds whispered crossly behind my ears.
I shuddered and turned towards the direction of the winds, realisation sauntering into my head.
What if this winds was an enemy of my uncle who was also trying to grab the eggs? Does this means I’ve betrayed and sold my uncle to an enemy?
“I’m not an enemy! And I’m not decieving you!”
My face scrunched up in a squint. “You’ve been reading my mind?” I quarreled.
“I didn’t mean to, but I need you to give me the eggs, you may kill my wife if you wish to.”
