Dragons Heart - Chapter 19

“This is how Dragonkin greet, with fists in each other’s face?!”, Kamilah said jokingly. She then proceeded to throw them both to opposite directions. Jasper landed on his feet then demanded, “stay out of this, girl, this is between me and him!!”. Then a bolt of lightning struck him, knocking him away. “Now, where’s your manners? ‘Girl’?, I have a name, if you’d bother to ask about” Kamilah said with lightning swirling around her. She then looked at Takeo with a mischievous smile and said, “well, the prince here can tell you that, we go to the same school after all”.

That was her way of telling Takeo to tell Jasper her name. “Her name is Kamilah Hussein, she came from Egypt to our school, but something tells me there’s more to that”, Takeo said finally. Kamilah was described by every guy at school as “the perfect girl”, “beauty incarnate”, “a man’s dream girl”, etc. She had light brown skin and black hair with hints of gold that shine clearly when any light shines on them. She was extraordinarily beautiful and even those who might not like her, if there was, would easily admit that she was beautiful. She was very busty and had a amazingly natural hourglass figure while being very fit and athletic. She was valedictorian-level smart and was super kind. But that kindness was just a front. The Kamilah that Takeo was facing down now didn’t emit any form of kindness.

She smirked, “Sharp, are ya?”, she said, “Well, I’d expect no less from the prince of a dying race of lizards”. Takeo, taking offense to that, replied, “Lizards? Now, that’s not nice, calling us that”. Kamilah, giggling, said, “oh, I’m sorry, overgrown snakes works better”. Takeo, starting to get annoyed, lost the once prominent smile on his face, meaning he was getting angry. “Don’t call us snakes!!”, he snapped. Kamilah broke out in a laugh, “Oh, now I got you pissed. Good, good, show me a Dragon’s tantrum”, she mocked. Takeo, without really realizing it, blasted off towards. He then kicked her with a Blazing Dragon Talon. “Bout time you threw a punch, or a kick to be more specific”, Kamilah said blocking Takeo’s kick with her hand. Takeo eyes widen, “she stopped my kick completely with her bare hand without being burned by the flames emitted”, he thought to himself. “But…”, Kamilah then said, “you gotta do better than that”, she threw him into the sky. Takeo righted himself in the air and shouted, “Blazing Dragon Blasting-“. He stopped because he noticed she was not there on the ground. Then a flash of lightning flew up by him, too fast for him to follow. Kamilah, with a palm strike to his back, shot him back down to the ground.

Takeo, groaning in pain, gets up. “What the hell are you?!”, he shouted. Kamilah looked surprised for a sec then asked, “you seriously don’t know what I am? Man, are you that dense?”. “Surely, you can sense it and figure it out”, she continued. Takeo grew silent before responding, “I can sense you’re not human nor Dragonkin, but that’s all I can tell”. Kamilah let out a huge laugh. After her outburst, Kamilah looked at Takeo with a kinda serious look and said, ” I’ll say one word, this word is what I am”. “Felidae”, Kamilah said. Takeo’s eyes widen, but not in shock or surprise. This uncontrollable anger swelled up from inside him when she uttered the word Felidae. Felidae are a race of cat and big cat like people. Similar to the Dragonkin, they can turn parts of their body into cat parts and have superhuman speed and strength. They utilize lightning, wind, and Earth elemental powers. Felidae are the natural enemies to Dragonkin. Both would get this surge of rage and attack the person who says the other race’s names. “Now, do you know what I am?”, she said, arrogantly. Takeo went silent then said, “I… don’t know what that is”.
