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.

Unexpected encounter

Delaney brought Merikh to some part of the forest where all they could see were trees and grassland. Their walk to the forest was quiet and the only sound was the rustling of dry leaves or branches on the ground.

This was where Malcolm had taught Delaney how to hunt and she always knew that there would always be an antelope or a wild rabbit somewhere.

Merikh was looking around the forest when he suddenly bumped into Delaney's back, almost knocking her down but quickly wrapped his hand around her waist to prevent her from falling.

"You can't even watch where you're going," Delaney quipped as she regained her balance and forcefully pushed his hand away.

She then prepared her bow and arrow, aiming at a clearing where she knew something would appear eventually.

"Do you—"

"Shhhh." She hissed, cutting him off before he could say anything.
