What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga
Chapter 101 - Lucian's Quest

Lucian was on his way towards the Dark Lands. It was a place underneath the Dragon Realm. It was a parallel place that could be accessed from where Draco had taken Liana, to retrieve the poison used in killing Kiara. Lucian had been to that place a few times. But it was not easy for a Dragon to be there. Not for a long time at least. It was a place where a Dragon was stripped of his dragon essence. He was basically reduced to being a human. Lucian was over ambitious.

He was there to take what was called the Forbidden Pearl.

It was not really a Pearl but more like a stone. Nobody really knew if it really existed or if it was in the Dark Lands at all. But Lucian was determined because it was a widespread rumor in the dragon world that the Forbidden Pearl could actually bring back dead ones.

There was no authentication but it was a fable that was well known. Lucian planned to use it on Draco. Play with his emotions and trick him into doing what they wanted him to do.

As Lucian set off on his quest for the Forbidden Pearl, he felt a strange thrill coursing through his veins. He was already thinking about the things he would do when he would have Liana back. It was an unexplainable parody. He was planning to murder his brother to have his wife. The sun was beating down on him, the heat intensifying with every step he took, but he knew he couldn't let that deter him.

Lucian's mind was racing with excitement as he talked to himself, "This Forbidden Pearl will be enough to persuade my thick headed brother. I must replace it and I should do it fast."

As he walked through the dense forest, he saw a clearing up ahead. The area seemed to be surrounded by ancient ruins, with large stone pillars and crumbling temples. Lucian's heart raced with excitement as he realized that he had stumbled upon the entrance to the Forbidden Pearl's secret hiding place. He was exactly in the center of the Dark Lands.

He carefully approached the entrance, his eyes darting around for any traps or obstacles. As he stepped inside, the air was thick with the scent of ancient magic, and the sound of whispers filled his ears.

Lucian whispered to himself, "This place seems like it is alive with magic, and danger lurks at every turn. But I will not be deterred. I will replace the Forbidden Pearl, no matter what.I don't know if it really can bring back the dead, but I will bring you back Liana. I will bring you back at all costs."

As he made his way deeper into the ruins, he came across a large chamber with a pedestal in the center. Resting on top of the pedestal was the Forbidden Pearl, glowing with an otherworldly light.

Lucian's eyes widened in amazement as he reached out to touch the pearl. But just as his fingers brushed against it, the ground began to shake, and the chamber started to crumble around him. Lucian yelled to himself, "I must get out of here! This place is collapsing!"

With the Forbidden Pearl in hand, Lucian made a run for it, dodging falling debris and dodging traps as he dashed through the ruins. And finally, he emerged from the crumbling entrance. Lucian grinned to himself, "I did it!"

And he kissed the Pearl. He could feel the tremendous energy that the Pearl held, even when he was not back in his dragon form.

"The myths and tales might not be in vain. Let's get her back home brother."

Lucian exclaimed with another devilish grin.
