My dragon is gone.

Sylus... I curse your soul...

I curse your soul... To never fade away...

You'll always be tied to me. Forever.

This is my curse... Only I can... Grant you a true death.

. . .

What was that—?

Everything happened so fast, it dawns upon you so quickly like your head suddenly getting dropped by a ton of bricks. Everything hurts.

Your chest is heaving heavily as you snap your eyes open from your slumber, your eyes frantically looking around the familiar space. Your own apartment. Your soft hiccups—

Wait a minute, were you.. crying?

Your hands immediately went up to your already soaked cheeks, realizing that you, had cried in your sleep because of what you just witnessed in your dreams.

Everything, felt. Unusual.

You cursed Sylus? he is bounded to you, forever? Does this mean he, will not able to get what he wants without, you? Before you could process what happened, you heard a crow, right outside your window. It's piercing eyes, looks familiar enough to you.

It's Mephisto.

You slowly got out from your bed, unable to think properly but to.. run. Run to him.

You approached Mephisto, that's by the windowsill, looking back at you, breathing ragged, you reach your hand out. Only to stop half way as your head suddenly stings.

Everything flashes before your eyes, Sylus. The dragon. Your dragon. It all rained down on you, you fell down on your knees, looking up at Mephisto who's looking back at you confusedly, you can hear a faint buzz of your phone in the distance. But you seemed, distracted.

Without further a do, you rush out to get yourself a jacket, didn't even bother to get changed from your pajamas, you rode your reliable bike off the apartment areas, highspeed. Going to where Sylus is.

The N109 Zone.

Your mind is all hazy, all you could think of is him, the dragon you had lost a long time ago.

He is here.

By the time you arrived, Mephisto, the twins are the ones who greeted you, and the first thing you ask is where Sylus is. Noticing how rushed you seemed, they quickly replied he's in his room.

You quickly rushed to where he is, without even knocking you just barges in, kicking the door down and your eyes frantically looked around and landed on a figure, back facing yours as he seem to be cleaning up his bookshelves.

"Does knocking seem difficult to y—" You cut him off by wrapping your arms around him, "What's wrong?"

"you're here." It's the first thing you said, out of context. He grew quiet at your words, "You've returned to me." You added, he didn't say anything. He stood there in silence as he listened to your words.

"My dragon, is back."

You can feel how his body tensed up at your last words, everything seemed a blur as he heard your sentence, he slowly, hesitantly turned. To face you.

His eyes, seemed to be, conflicting. Also, confused. What do you mean by doing this, is this a prank? "Kitten if this is—" "Sylus, My dragon, I remember everything." You cut him off again.

"I remember, everything." You remain eye contact with him, his eyes looking down at your face, after a good while, his face distorted into something, uncharacteristic of him. "You... Remembered?" His voice seemed softer.

"You.." "Yes, Sylus, Yes. I remembered, I'm sorry that I took so long to remember." He didn't say anything else and now you're the one that' surprised because, Sylus.

The Leader of Onychinus, who everyone feared, no standing before you,

Crying.

"...You remembered me." His voice slightly shaky as he said so, his eyes flutter down at the sensation of your hands on his cheeks. "You remembered.." he repeated, again. And then he wrapped his arms around you, so tightly that you feel, warm, safe in his arms.

"I'm here, I've returned.

My beloved Dragon."
