CHAPTER 45: THE FIRST KISS

At DWYER's command, the chain is released and PALADIA's body is pierced by the peak of rock, its blood is being spilled and slowly dropped into the lava, which reacts, filling it with light.

DWYER exclaims that he will finally have a power against dragons.

At the end of the lava light.

Slaves start pulling lava out of the volcano.

And with the pulley system, a large container with lava is located above DWYER.

Which commands you to drop the lava on him.

The container is emptied over DWYER, that diabolical man lets out cries of pain, which soon turn into laughter.

Unicorn blood is so pure that it has covered the body of its magic.

Like fire-proof armor from dragons.

RYU, has arrived outside the council room, where he is greeted by the guards, who walk away to take a break.

Now RYU will take care of the human child.

PANDORA watches as his guards leave the room, sees them cross the threshold from one side to the other, worried, gets out of his seat.

She rushes to the exit, thinks she'll be left, her crazy journey is slowed down when she watches RYU walk into the living room.

PANDORA looks at him blushing, his eyes wide open, looking RYU in the eye (dragon appearance).

His surprise is pleasant, RYU smiles for PANDORA.

Slow-moving RYU approaches her.

Whoever receives it with his trembling hands, with tears of gratitude, to finally have him close.

RYU, with one of his hands, takes PANDORA's hands, with the other wipes away his tears.

PANDORA receives that show of affection as a caress, squinting. He's just trying to tell her she looks beautiful.

She smiles for him.

PANDORA, raise your hand, touching his face.

They look each other in the eye, RYU, hugs her and lifts her up so she can reach her face well.

Ryu's form becomes human.

The touch is soft in PANDORA's hand, although, as she passed her hand, the part she touches lets her dragon skin see, PANDORA caresses her face, looks him in the eye and smiles at him.

RYU, you kiss her hands, confess how much she misses her, how much she's missed her these years...

PANDORA blushed, apologizes to RYU.

She just hopes that now if they can be together.

As they speak, their faces are approaching.

RYU lets her know that now that she's king, she'll have some favors from the council, so she can stay by her side... she looks at him pleased.

She thinks of the word "king" doesn't want to think what that means now, she just put that worry aside.

He's got RYU in front of her, that's all he cares about right now, he gets carried away.

PANDORA caresses the hair of RYU, who poses his hand on PANDORA's cheek.

Their hearts beat very hard, they both feel that the atmosphere has become very warm, their cheeks look reddish and their eyes concentrated on each other's lips.

With a hectic heart and thousands of confused ideas invading his mind.

They end up closing their eyes and joining their faces sensing each other's scent, with their faces rubbing, even touching their lips, kiss after kiss, passionately hugging and sliding their hands down each other's backs, as if wanting to wrap each other, while the stars shine in the firmament.

After a while, the cravings calm down, so, silently, with PANDORA's face reloaded in RYU's.

It is PANDORA who confesses to RYU that he loves him.

RYU replies that since he met her, he didn't know it, but he already loved her.

They're still hugging for a while longer.

And it is RYU who carrys it in his arms, lets him know that, it is too late and they must rest, RYU, they have already warned him that they will wake him up early.

As RYU leaves the council room with PANDORA in his arms, there is silence.

Inside these cameras, there are smaller rooms.

The council conditioned a room for PANDORA.

RYU, he's taking her over there.

Arriving at the door, RYU lets PANDORA down, asks him not to leave that area without a guard, his safety depends on it.

RYU kisses her forehead, tells her that she will ask her guard to guard her door.

PANDORA, somewhat dubious, timidly attached to RYU's clothes, asks him to stay with her that night.

RYU, blushs, asks PANDORA if she's sure he sleeps next to her?

PANDORA, smiling, says yes.

If this is a dream, she won't let him go.

The guards who were already coming back, come to RYU, enter PANDORA's room, stay for a while wondering if they stay or leave.

After a few minutes, they decide to leave.

In the room.

PANDORA, settles into the large straw lined with a sheet.

It's a comfortable bed.

She tells RYU, she can take whatever form she wants.

RYU, smiling, replies that he has never set out to sleep all night transformed, this would be a good day to start.

Maybe he'll get used to it.

RYU jumps into bed and cheerfully asks PANDORA to lie next to her, she blushs, lies very close to him, turning his back on her to hug her.

She, embarrassed and happy, lays her head on her arm.

RYU, brings her face closer to her neck.

You can breathe the scent of your hair, feel the warmth of your body.

He's happy.

PANDORA speaks short: RYU?

RYU: yes?

PANDORA: Promise you'll never let me go...

RYU hugs her tightly that she softens, stealing a laugh from PANDORA.

RYU, in a nostalgic voice, replies no.

He'll never let him go.

PANDORA kisses RYU's hand that hugs her.

RYU, he says they should rest.

PANDORA is right... their first night together.
