Wandering Hearts

It is said that one can never defy fate. This notion proves its authenticity as Delaney finds herself caught up in the whims of her decided fate. Robbed of control over her own life, Delaney finds herself torm between feuds between mythical beings, creatures that have little or no regards to her emotions. As an abused child, Delaney grew up mostly detached from the world around her and when she decides to take control of her life, she chooses to be a bounty hunter to make a living and makes her own rules, living her life away from anything that causes her distress. But her world turns upside down as she becomes burdened by a murder accusation which almost causes her her life. At the day of her execution, she's saved by a dragon, to everyone's dismay, and is forced to live her life like a captive as she's yet again robbed of her own life. **** Broken hearts, misplaced souls and twisted minds. Even though our pasts may not predict our future, it will always be part of our future and present. Past mistakes, past heartbreaks, past miseries. They ruin us in a way that we are so scared of endings, that we always end up not beginning. And maybe all we need is a little sunshine. A little flower, and most of all... to forgive ourselves for things that we could and couldn't control.

Demons love to explore.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. – Oscar Wilde

Xander and Emily shared a look, before their eyes darted to Keir who was looking at Delaney with an unreadable expression. Keir didn't allow his eyes to wander like their previous encounters but that didn't mean he didn't want to. He was curious to see her without her usual clothes but he managed to restrain himself.

His eyes subtly narrowed, before drifting to the butler who was watching from the sidelines. "Get the lady another plate." He ordered almly then turned his focus back to his plate.

The butler bowed lightly before taking Delaney's plate and replacing it with another one. This time she was served potatoes, meat that was well cooked, unlike the others, and a peeled and sliced apple. Her face didn't show any reaction but she picked up her cutleries and started eating quietly like the rest.
