7 Messing with destiny

The day had come to a start and the exhausted dragon could not help but fall asleep. He had a long night and wanted to get some rest before he faced the harsh truth of his life. Inside the cave a secret door opened and there women dressed in long black robes with hoods came out. They stared at the two men sleeping in their home.

"We should have mercy on them. Fate has been cruel to them," said the one in the middle. The other two nodded in agreement.

"But messing with destiny is dangerous," said the cautious one to the right.

"That is why we will not change there destiny just fast track it," replied the third woman.

The woman in the middle walked up to Francis and placed her hand on his heart. Her other hand she kept on Alexander.

"By the power of all the stars above,I cast a spell for Alexander to Francis's love," she said and thunder hit the sky to indicate that her spell has worked.

"You have done that but his soul will still be out to kill Alexander," said her sister.

"Roses and Rainbows Oh dear, remove the soul which we all fear," she said and Francis's body began to shake tremendously. His soul separated from his body in form of a butterfly and entered inside of Alexander.

"Now he won't be able to kill him unless he unlocks his powers as the Eno nesohc. Forgive me my Lord but I have done this to protect you. It is only for your well being, your destiny is cruel so I have done this to help you make a better life for yourself," she said with regret knowing death awaited her when her Lord awakened.

Eno nesohc was the greatest wizard to ever live and the best dragon tamer to ever live. He has lived for many years and each time reincarnating in a time where a dragon is written to be born. He's destiny being worse each time he is born, his disciples are cursed to follow him in each life time to protect him and guide him but for the first time they disobeyed destiny. They went against what was written and tried to make things easier for him.

They teleported Francis back to bed in his home and healed his wounds with magic. The witch that placed a curse on Francis went into Mary, Francis's mother's room and hexed her to get sick. She made up a sickness that didn't exist and gave her. She cursed to fall I'll and only start getting better once Francis and Alexander we're united. She left the room and she went back to her sisters. "Do you think that we have done the right thing?" she asked them and they shook their heads.

"We can only know that when everything plays out," replied the second witch.

"One of us has to stay with them at all times to help their love story become stronger. Alexander can only be saved if Francis's love for him is true and pure. But if he doesn't fall in love with Alexander then he will kill him and be doomed himself. Their lives depend on each other," she said and the other sisters agreed.

"I will stay for the first watch," she volunteered. "I will inform you if something new comes up," she said and the other sisters disappeared.

She went next to Francis's bed and sat down on his bed. She brushed his hair to the back and gave him a peck on his cheek. "I have loved you for as long as I can remember and I am tired of seeing you go down the same path over and over again. This time I will protect you, if I am not destined to be with you then I will do my best to make sure you live happily with your destined love. Seeing you happy from the shadows will be good enough for me," she said and gave a kiss on his lips.

She didn't leave immediately, she stayed by her love and told him stories of their journeys together even though he could not hear a single word. She felt at peace being so close to him and being able to protect him brought him joy. She was going to make sure he knows what it is like to be loved in return this time.

True loves kiss was the key to breaking both of their curses. Her Lord will be free from his curse and die and rest peacefully after being with the one he loved, he won't have to live a lonely and cold life in her watch. The spell she put on him will not make him fall in love with him but it will create an attraction for Alexander in his heart. It will make him yearn for the prince, the rest will work out on his own.

She was confident in her plan and was sure that she will not fail in bringing the two love birds together. She whistled the day away while holding Francis in her hands but the minute the sunset she did appeared and blended with the she blended with the night.

Francis woke up feeling very tired and somehow wired. He felt his back and yawned. He wiped sleep from his eyes and got out of bed, he got ready and after taking a bath he got dressed and wore a shawl to cover the dragon mark on his neck. He had a weird feeling in his heart and he kept seeing images of the boy from his shop. He suddenly wanted to get to know him and do a lot more things with him.

He shook his head to try and get such thoughts out of his head but it was no use. He still saw the images, he brushed the mark on his neck and recalled the kiss the man had given to her and felt hungry for more. His own thoughts surprised him and he went to say goodbye to his mother before leaving for the forest.

He entered her room and found her sister crying next to their mother's bed. "What happened Willow?" he asked her.

"It's mother, I woke and came to see her and found her like this," she said pointing to her mother's condition.

Francis looked at his mother with shock written all over his face. He was rendered speechless and helpless on what to do and dropped to the ground.
