Seeing them celebrate together makes my heart jump in joy. This is what I've always wanted to happen. I glanced at my stepbrother, Draco. He's playing with my daughter who likes his wings very much.
"Will I get wings with claws too?" Miracle asked curiously to her uncle.
"It depends on how tough you are, kid. Do you want to see the fire I make?" he replied playfully to my daughter. I nodded when he glanced at me. I can still remember how he genuinely gave me his apology.
—FLASHBACK—
"What do you want?" I asked in a flat voice. He turned his head at me while still playing his nervous hands. This is the first time I'm talking to him after what happened on the Batailen. They tried to kill us.
"You really came." He smirked. I remained silent.
Draco sent me a message to meet him in the borders. It's already scheduled for removal.
"You didn't make me come here to waste my time, right?" I scoffed and sit on the nearby log. He chuckled sarcastically and looked directly into my eyes. I didn't break eye contact with Draco and stare at his soul. "Tell me what you want before I leave the hell out of you. This might be the last time I'll waste my time to see someone like you."
I can see the pain crossing his eyes which made me feel foreign inside. He never showed me that side of him. I didn't even know that he has that emotion.
"Power blinded me so much that I forgot you're my brother." He smiled. "I'm not going to act innocent by blaming everything to father. I'm old enough to know what I was doing already, but I didn't stop. I'm at fault too and I want to genuinely ask for forgiveness," he added. My brows furrowed.
Draco Felono is asking for my forgiveness?
He chuckled softly. "You must be so surprised right now. You can't even speak. Yes, brother. Your asshole stepbrother is asking for your forgiveness. I don't want to keep this fight between the two of us longer. Let's end this," he said.
I can't believe I'm hearing the word settle from his words.
"Pretending to be you was never fun and easy. I was nothing, but a disappointment. Father wanted me to replace you, so I can have your chance of being the next God of Dragonia. I never wanted that. What I wanted is to he recognized for who I am. But being a flame dragon is not easy. Not to mention that I pretended to be a pure dragon."
"I'm sorry, brother."
—END OF FLASHBACK—
Draco became an ivaw for months just like his father. He lost his memory, but it all came back when he finally got out from his punishment. That helped him so much in reflecting all his bad deeds.
"Hey?" a sweet voice of a woman called. I turned my head to look at my beautiful wife. She's wearing her chosen dress that's catching a lot of attention.
Fucking assholes.
Almost everyone in here came to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Why are they looking at my beautiful wife?
"You look astonishing, but I don't really like how they're all looking at you. It's not okay." I frowned at her. She chuckled softly and gave me her sweetest smile.
"Oh, shut up. Is it my fault that I'm pretty?" she replied. I smiled. I'm happy that she's becoming more confident in wearing good clothes. She was always so worried about the things she's wearing.
My lips curved into a smile when Crystal showed up with a princess crown on a cute pillow.
"This is personally made by God Dragunus. It's a rare diamond you'll get from a light dragon's tears. He was so happy to know that you made your mission successfully that he cried tears of joy." Her face wrinkled when she smiled. I stared at the cute crown. It looks perfect.
"I believe that's for my daughter?" I said. Mother turned her head to me and nodded.
"Indeed." She smiled.
The three of us went to my daughter. She's still talking to Draco and I can already tell that they're going to be good friends. Selda is fixing her hair and everything.
"Nanna!" she chirped after seeing her grandmother.
The two corners of my lips lifted when she run to her. "Careful, my darling. Look what I have for you. Isn't it pretty?" she asked and showed the crown to her.
Miracle stared at it with big eyes.
"Wow!" she said cheerfully. Crystal put the crown on top of her head. Voughn and his parsen came to celebrate with us too. It has been a long since we met and I'm genuinely happy to see his ugly face again.
"Fuck you!" he greeted jokingly.
"Fuck you more."
"Hahahah!"
"Woah. It's nice to see you again, asshole. Looks like you're getting so much attention now than before. How is it like to be a vortan celebrity? Must be fun, eh?" he joked. His gaze diverted to my wife. I unconsciously block myself in front of Golden. "Hahaha! Feels like the first time. You're still freaking possessive than ever. You see this woman?" He rests his arm to the girl standing beside him. "This is my woman."
"Shut up," she replied making me laugh so hard.
"Hahahah! Looks like he she hates you."
"Hahahaha!"
*****
My life is like a book. It's full of mixed sadness and surprises. I thought I would forever be trapped into this abyss that has no end. I thought life will always be the one to torture me as a vortan.
But everything changed when Golden came into my life. They tried to tear us apart, but I swore to never leave her side. I have nobody before. But now I have a beautiful wife and a pretty daughter. I was a nobody before. But now I'm Vortaxia's last pure dragon. I am invincible.
I am Damon Aragon and this is the end of my story.
