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.

Questions need to be answered

At the sudden question, Merikh's whole body stiffened and although not clearly, Delaney could see his face harden and the muscles at the back of his jaw twitch.

She felt bad for bringing up the topic when they were having a moment of peace, but she just had to ask because she was still disturbed by the entire story and Merikh's past.

After a long silence, Merikh's shoulders fell and his eyes lowered. He sighed, then looked back at Delaney, a part of him hoping she would back down, but Delaney was determined to get her answers and her eyes clearly showed it.

"I know you have a lot of questions but, do we need to talk about this now?" He asked resignedly and Delaney almost didn't blink as she stared into his pleading his eyes through the burning fire.

"I don't see any need to delay the inevitable," she answered plainly. "I do have a lot of questions and I need clarity moving forward," she added, and Merikh's eyes flickered for a moment.
