Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

"I'm not going anywhere with you.." Donovan said. 

"You may want to reconsider your decision?" Drystan said and then signalled him to look at Silja

Donovan then turned towards Silja to look at her but suddenly he froze. 

His eyes narrowed on her neck and a cold wave passed through his body.

"Just one signal from me and you won't be able to save her," the little man said and then turned around and signalled his man to bring them together to their tent.

"What's wrong, Donovan," Silja saw a change in his face colour and asked worriedly.

"Bast**d," Donovan yelled in the direction of Drystan.

"Don't move," Donovan then looked at Silja and held her hand down.

Donovan held Silja's hand and then extended his hand towards her neck.

At that time Silja felt something crawling on her neck and she instinctively raised her hand to feel what was there.

"Don't," Donovan held her hand down and held her face so she wouldn't move.

"What is that?" Silja asked worriedly

"A snare. " Donovan replied.

Around Silja's neck, a pale white colour snare was uncirculated. It was a long reptile insect that was especially found in the forest of Dragon creek. 

It has shiny skin with small black dots on it. 

"Remove it," Silja said. Her voice quivering.

"We shouldn't. If you touch it, it will shrink around your neck. It is poisonous. If it bites you, we won't be able to find any cure," Donovan warned.

"Nothing will work, just do as I say and I will tell you how to remove it," Drystan said from behind.

"Shut up," Donovan barked.

On the other hand, Olivia has also regained consciousness. She groaned in pain and looked around. 

"Prince Donovan…" she looked up and her eyes fell on Donovan.

She called out and tried to stand up but there was an arrow on her leg. An arrow made from the dwarf bone. Which has diminished her powers and ability to turn in Dragon form.

She tried to run towards Donovan as a ray of hope enlightened in her heart.

When she was the heart and caught by the rouge, she has thought she might be killed but they didn't and hurt her but kept her alive.

"Don...van.." She tried to call him but Donovan has his whole concentration on Silja so he paid no heed to her 

Drystan was standing far away from them, waiting for Donovan and Silja to follow him.

Donovan turned towards Silja and looked into her eyes.

"Listen to me. You have the power of control over living beings. Remember the time the horse has turned rouge just by mere touch from you. Just like that, you can control these insects too," Donovan explained to Silja in a low voice. Making sure that no one else couldn't understand.

"Power over living beings?" Silja furrowed her brows.

"Yes. You are connected to nature and everything around us is part of nature and so does this leach here. Just concentrate on it and you may be able to remove it from your body," Donovan kept explaining. Even though he knew what her powers were, he didn't know how to use them. He wasn't a witch and he had no idea how to cultivate them or use them in a practical way.

"Are you insane? How can I control nature?" Silja refuted. The reptile was crawling on her skin, making her more and more disgusted.

Not to forget what Donovan was saying. Even though she refuted him in anger, deep down her heart was feeling afraid as she believed what he said.

"Clear your mind. Close your eyes and think about removing this creature from your body," Donovan said in a firm voice.

"I can't…" 

"Shhh. Do as I said," Donovan said in a firm tone. And Silja has no other choice than to tell what he said.

She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. But the anxiety in her heart was so much that she could keep her head calm.

Time passed and the second turned into minutes. Donovan was looking at her with an anxiety-filled face.

Far away from them, Drystan was also looking at them, his brows furrowed and eyes squinted. Donovan was speaking in a low voice so Drystan couldn't hear anything. Plus unlike dragon's dwarves possess no special power of hearing or vision.

"Nothing is happening," Silja opened her eyes in frustration. The 

"You are not trying enough," Donovan said in a small voice. He didn't want to scare her. The leach was moving around Silja's neck. 

Silja closed her eyes and tried again, nothing happened.

"What game are you guys playing?" Drystan who was curious at the start also started to feel bored.

"Don't listen to him, concentrate," Donovan repeated. Trying hard not to let her move even an inch from her place.

Drystan has also started to walk in their direction.

"One snap of my fingers and I can make that animal puke out poison. Don't test my patience and start to walk with me.

"Concentrate. Kill it. Kill it." Donovan repeated.

Silja opened her eyes.

"Killed it. Kill them all, otherwise, they will kill you," Donovan said looking at her eyes.

Some unexplainable surge of emotions started to gather at the pit of her stomach.

"He will kill both of us if we go with him. There is no way he will let us leave this forest," Donovan kept saying. "But you can stop him. You can free us," 

Silja was feeling angry with every passing second. The voice going on around them was ringing in her ears. Donovan's voice, Drystan's threat, and Olivia's cries all started to make her go crazy.

Her body started to tremble as she closed her eyes.

Sensing the tension around them the leach started to dig in Silja skin.

"Calm down Silja. Calm down. It will bite you," the body of the leech has started to turn brown in colour. It will soon release the poison on Silja's skin.

"Shut up," Silja yelled in anger.

At the same time, the leach turned brown and bit down on Siljas skin.

"Nooo..." Donovan yelled.
