Eternal love of the red dragon - Chapter 244

“Lilith, I am coming, just hold on a little longer,” Cosmo said to herself as she turned around heading towards home while Lilith was bleeding and Claudia got hurt due to the thing using a black sword slashing her on the arm.

“Claudia, get out of here, i don’t want you to get hurt anymore, please leave,” Lilith said and Claudia frowned as she held onto her wound.

“You need to be treated, the wound is filled with dark magic, it will poison you eventually,” Lilith said as her eyes glowed while the thing looked at them and she placed her hand on Claudia’s arm.

“Wait, I don’t know if you understand what I am saying, but she didn’t do anything let her go,” Lilith said as the thing stared at her she shoved Claudia away and as the thing was about to attack her Claudia came in between and the sword went right through her stomach and Lilith screed then girl’s name as she fell onto the ground and Lilith grabbed onto her.

‘Claudia” she called out and Rex flew to them and dodged the things attack as he lifted Claudia up in his arm and Lilith frowned as she looked at the girl bleeding.

“Heal her as fast as you can, if you don’t she will be in serious trouble, you shouldn’t have come in here, it’s not going to let you leave, heal her and stay behind me,” Rex said as his eyes glowed as the thing started to free but then broke through his ice and Lilith pulled Rex’s sword.

‘You are strong Rex I know that but right now I need you to focus on Claudia, please” she said and he sighed as he placed the girl gently on the ground and his frost started covering her wounds.

“It will blister a little but you will be fine as long as I only focus on healing you which is currently hard when that one is in pain and could get herself killed,” he said and Claudia smiled.

“You really like her” Claudia said in pain and Rex smiled.

‘My feelings will pass but yours” he replied and she smiled.

‘I am fine” she said and he scoffed as the thing looked at Lilith and she frowned when her body started to feel weakened and she fell to the ground as it passed its sword through her hand fir she was not able to use her magic unless she pushed herself and if she does that she will make the phoenix rise up and that would be and since she won’t have it under her control.

“Lilith” Rex called out and she smiled as Cosmo flew by and her eyes widened when she saw the thing pull the sword out of Lilith and she transformed back to her normal human form and landed before Lilith.

‘Lilith” she called out and Rex smiled upon seeing his sister and Lilith looked at Cosmo then smiled as the girl grabbed onto her hugging her tightly.

“I am so sorry I was not here, I really am sorry Lilith,” she said with tears in her eyes and Lilith smiled.

‘For some reason, I can’t use my magic against it, but I think you can use your red mist, that is supposed t cleanse the darkness, it’s made out the king’s magic….” Lilith said and Cosmo frowned as she placed the girl gently on the grass and stood up with her eyes glowing bright red.

‘How dare you hurt her? I will kill you” Cosmo shouted as the wind started roaring and Lilith’s eyes wid=teembeld as she felt the earth rumble and she swallowed deeply.

‘Don’t destroy the woods, there are creatures living here…” Lilith said and Cosmo folded her cuffs in pure anger.

“Cosmo calm down handle this with care,” Rex said and she sighed as her body glowed red and the red mist started forming around her and the thing started screeching as Lilith screamed in pain and Claudia covered her ear.

‘Damn it…” Cosmo said as her eyes glowed brighter and a red sword appeared in her arm and she looked at the thing carefully as she saw a stone between the darkness where one’s heart was supposed to be and she smiled wickedly.

‘Got i” she said as she moved really fast when the thing lifted its black sword and was going to strike Cosmo but Cosmo’s sword passed through him striking the heart of it and it screeched as it fade away and Lilith gasped as her ears bled and the stone crumbled turning into ashes and Lilith sighed as Cosmo’s sword disappeared and Cosmo rushed to Lilith grabbed onto her.

‘Hey,” Cosmo said as he lifted the girl up in her arms and Lilith fell unconscious.

‘Bring her back to the castle, you will be able to heal her better there” Cosmo said and Rex lifted Claudia up in his arms and they flew off to the castle.

‘Put her gently beside Lilith” Cosmo said as they took the girl’s to Lilith room and placed them on the bed and Lilith looked at Cosmo as she grabbed onto her hand.

‘Where did you go?” Lilith asked and Cosmo frowned.

‘I am sorry Lilith, i should have been here” she responded and Lilith frowned as Val came to Lilith with hos body glowing and held onto  Lilith.

‘This will hurt, you will heal from both the inside and the outside, but not fully from within” he said as and she smiled as shi aura came onto her body and her wound started pulling back together and she screamed as she held onto Cosmo’s hands and Cosmo frowned.

“My ear, it hurts…” Lilith said as she fell unconscious and her father frowned as he went to her and kissed her on the forehead.

‘Be fine please” he said and her body started glowing as it changed color and Claudia smiled as Rex finished healing her but she still needed to rest for her wounds were deep.

“Is she going to be okay?” Cosmo asked and Val sighed.

‘Today was just the start Cosmo” Val responded and the girl frowned.

“I know, he is making his move, he wants to take Lilith from me,” Cosmo said as she folded her cuffs and Rex swallows as he looked at his angry sister.

‘You were not supposed to leave just like that, she waited for hours for you, where the hell were you, Cosmo?” Rex shouted and she frowned.

“I was just fulfilling my duties” she responded.

“You are not doing anything, that’s what I told you, leave your royal duties behind,” he said and she frowned.

‘I know, it was foolish of me to even leave without saying anything” she said as she looked at Lilith and frowned as the girl’s body glowed brighter and they heard a roar coming from her and their eyes widened.

‘What the hell was that?” Cosmo asked.

‘Her inner phoenix fighting to come out, I now know why she can’t hell too, she needs to be herself, that is the phoenix” Val responded.

‘She will not be the phoenix, she will be just Lilith, she will not become that” Cosmo said.

‘That’s not your choice to make, any of our choices, it’s hers to make and we have to right to take that from her, I am telling all of you this, if she chooses to be the phoenix, she has my support, I don’t care how monstrous she becomes, the king will die” Rex replied and Cosmo smiled.

‘I don’t care how monstrous she becomes either, I just don’t want her to lose the right path” Cosmo replied and Rex smiled in relief.

“Her body wounds are all healed she just needs to not push herself too much, same with you Claudia, you took a great risk pushing her out of the way and taking the hit, you were brave,” Val said and Claudia smiled then fell asleep.

‘Let’s leave them be” Rex said with a sigh then left the room as night was nearing.

After everyone left Cosmo sat by Lilith’s side and sighed.

“I don’t want to lose you, i am sorry,” Cosmo said as she laid beside Lilith and held onto her tightly and eventually she slept away holding onto Lilith.

Hours passed and it was night when Lilith opened her eyes and saw Cosmo by her side and she smiled then lifted her arm and she sighed for her body was in a lot of pain.

“You are awake,” Cosmo said with tears in her eyes and Lilith sat up and so did the girl.

‘Why are you crying? did they scold you?” she asked and Cosmo smiled.

“I don’t care about the scolding, I was not here for you, I am truly sorry Lilith,” Cosmo said and Lilith smiled then patted her on the head.

“I love you, Cosmo, I don’t want to see any tears, this is nothing, it’s fine, I will be fine, ah…” she said and Cosmo’s eyes widened.

‘I am a dragon, I have strength as one of my powers, want me to give you a bath?” Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled.

“A bath sounds, good, be gentle though, I am… never mind” she responded and Cosmo smiled as she got up.

‘I promise I will be gentle, sorry” she said as she lifted Lilith up in her arms and Lilith smiled.

‘I will take good care of you, I promise, I am not leaving again, duties can go to hell,” she said and Lilith smiled as the girl took her to take a bath.
