Prologue – The Forgotten Premonitions

In the silent meadow, a blond king named Jude Heartfilia was resting. Sure he was restless running the kingdom and making rules that would make their nation stronger than the creatures, surely he needed some rest for he know that the Dragon King shall be upon their battlefield. There was peace on the field that he stayed in, the sky was pure black but the flower field was glowing in a vibrancy of yellow that made each strand of flowers glow in gold, which was evident that there was magic all around. He knew that it was only a dream yet fantasies are his only happiness left without his dead wife and his heart-breaking daughter. He rested his head with his hands at the back of his head and he lied down the soft meadow where he could only hum a tune that Layla, his wife used to sang him and their daughter, but pain only aggravated his heart which made him seem lonely, but he must forget the fact that he was in a dream where he can only show his true happiness, sadness, weakness and anger. The meadow was softer than his king-sized bed and he wondered if there was something similar to this in reality.

The cold gush of the wind blew the dandelions from the gold ground and the sudden chill made the king more relaxed. This memory was of like the same when he and Layla were only mere friends and not crowned as royalties. They were just average teenagers back then, they were not forced to rule the land.

"Wouldn't you feel happy if we would have our own kingdom in this beautiful meadow?" He smirked at the blonde teen who had a cape wrapped around her long arms.

"It would be nice to live here forever, especially when my best friend's here.." she winked at Jude who was blushing. "But the fact that we are to crush these beautiful lands… it makes my heart ache." She held her chest and she was slightly cringing. He knew what she was imagining and he sat beside her, gripping her shoulder.

"It will always be alright. I understand you, you love nature and more… but sometimes force and war is to be used to balance the world. It wasn't our fault that the dragons hated us…" he said which made her think of what he said.

"The creatures are just friends who doesn't want their business to be bothered, they are like humans who are just completely different with their physical features. Trust me, they are afraid of us." Layla said softly, which earned a scoff from Jude.

"It is right for them to fear us, mages! We're strong! We don't need terrifying physical features to boast our powers!" He smirked which made Layla sigh.

"I can't believe we're best friends when we're completely opposite!" she laughed.

"Me too.." he laughed back.

Then he remembered something. This was just a dream, a dream that was a reiterate of before! He thought out loud which made him groan and touch the ground, he felt that the grass withered, their existence faded away, and slowly it was all gone. He stood from the solid ground and he wondered where he was. Fear built in himself and he heard a horrible scream, he flinched and turned back to see a faint light. He started running and there entered a vision he remembered 20 years ago…

"I love you, Lucinda with all my heart; I want to give you everything." He kissed her tenderly and she was saddened that they were on the battle ground and everyone saw it, as if they saw a maniacal man who raped a woman in a corner. Disgust and Confusion was plastered on their faces. Some gave a snicker, others were of harsh whispers which made Lucinda tensed.

Lucinda blushed after that long kiss. She rested her forehead to his shoulder and he hugged her back. A tear fell from her right eye. Finally, they've showed to the world their intimate secret and they wished that people wouldn't hate them for what they've chose.

The man's smile wilted just as if a flower. He slowly reached for his dagger, Prius. The dagger that absorbs the blood of it's victim that contains their source of magic. He was hesitating and flinching because he knew that it would be bad and treacherousness would only be triggered. A sudden screech was heard but Lucinda didn't matter. He slowly adjusted it to her stomach that would soon make it bleed. Then within seconds, he pierced it through her and the loud scream made everyone look at them. He dug his dagger more to reach the core of her magic which made her whine. Please stop it! Nacio, don't do this! With that, he swiftly took the dagger out, he let the blood soak through his body and with this, he became a dragon and the creatures have cheered for him.

"Our new dragon king has brought us to victory! Victory we have achieved! Here he is! King Nacio or as we know i-"

Before he had continued, tears fell from his eyes. His lover has now perished and tears were evident from them.

"You…. Promised!" she said, it was official, they were rivals who are in need of despise. A Black aura has been depicted from herself which made Nacio flinch.

"Promises are meant to be broken. Yes you've mended my egotistical self, but you can never change my goal… and it is to bathe at your blood." He said bitterly.

"And I thought you'd be as rare as a diamond! Someone who's worth my time! I should've killed you…." Anger arose from her, it was clearly seen from her death glare.

"Please just understand me….." He said. It was still clear, that he still loves her.

"NO!" She said.

With Lucinda's last words, Jude woke up from his slumber. Clearly it was still dark outside but he was panting really hard. Anger fumed inside him and these premonitions made him more determined to make more tactical plans to defeat the dragons or the creatures.

"No, I will defeat him." His words consisted of his voice and Lucinda's voice. His eyes gleamed in the dark with the mixture of purple and evil was arousing in him. And thing's are starting to get clear now…..

That he holds the dark history of the star-crossed lovers…..
