Chapter 3 - FUGITIVES

Minutes passed by as both Draegon flew still holding the angel he had rescue earlier on. He couldn't help himself looking at her as she lay unconscious in his arms, putting her head on his chest. He could feel her breath tingle his chest.

After what felt like an hour, he came to an isolated forest, jerking her from her sleep he brought her to the ground

"Cover yourself and hide those wings of yours" he said as he gave her a cloth before adding "Wouldn't want to attract unwanted attention" taking the cloth from his hand reluctantly, she nodded while her wings seemed to have turned into sparks of light before disappearing

Hours later, Draegon and Alitia can be seen walking deeper into the forest, Alitia became to think whether asking the man in front her for help was the right option. She sighs while increasing her pace to catch up to him

"Where are we going to?" she asked as her pace began to slow down

"You will know when we get there" he retorted while tilting his head to take a look at her, he halted "If you're tired I can carry you" he spoke again, this time out of pity

Before long, they made a turn and stopped in front of a large boulder that seems to have been roughly cut. Putting his palm on it, he spoke a phase in a foreign tongue as the runes on his hand began to emitt a red glow and a tunnel began to emerge from the bouldee. Turning back to Alitia, who had a shocked expression written on her face

"We're here, he said before walking into the tunnel

..... Three years later.....

Alitia, smiled after recalling how they had met.'Who could have imagined that the legendary Draegon would fall in love and betrayed his people for someone loathed her own race' she thought as she smiled at how fortunate she was

Coming down from the boulder, he let's out a sigh as he recall the events of the past few months. How Alitia had conceived and had given birth to their son and how the two races had found out about their betrayal and had labeled their actions as treason

He didn't know whether to be happy at the birth of his son or to be sad at the fact that he's now a fugitive. He walks towards them and caress his son's cheek.

"We need to keep moving" he spoke before lifting Alitia and carrying her in his hands "Hold tight" he warned, not giving her time to respond before flying at a speed even considered abnormal even for the gods themselves. Alitia let's out a jerk as she tightens her grip around his arms

Draegon looks down at them as he let's out a sigh. These past few months hadn't been easy for them 'just hope we survive this mess'
