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.

Unearthly beauty.

Delaney's eyebrows rose in surprise as she watched Merikh's frozen state. His hands hang in the air akwardly as the woman embraced him in a tight hug. Gabriel was standing by the side, watching with a blank expression.

When the woman stepped away, her eyes were watery and she had a gentle smile on her face. Her smile however, froze in place when she saw the displeasure in Merikh's eyes. 

"I'm sorry, I —" 

"It's fine," Merikh interrupted, making the woman smile in relief. Her smile deepened and she kept looking at Merikh longingly, as if holding back from hugging him again. Merikh's face twitched in discomfort but his face still turned a little gentle. Delaney felt like laughing at the situation and she just stood there watching in amusement. It was as if the woman could not see anything or anyone else in the room and her eyes were just glued onto Merikh.
