A few minutes have passed and the conversation broke down, Vaestro pulled out his old pocketwatch that he had during his childhood, which functions perfectly even now, it was midnight.
"Guess we need to sleep here." Said Vaestro as he looked outside one of the windows of the study, the storm was still raging on, multiple loud booming sounds of thunders kept breaking the silence of the room, Vaestro yawned, "I'll go to sleep, Anija you coming?" asked Vaestro, barely able to keep his eyes open, "I'll stay awake a little more, i don't really feel tired." said Anija, with her graceful voice, after hearing this Vaestro nodded as he started to walk to the guest bedchamber, "Sweet dreams." said Vaestro as he left the room.
"I guess i'll go also, today was a busy day for me." Said Karyu as he walked with an evident sign of fatigue to the bedchambers, "Good night your highness." said Karyu politely as he left the study, Hadad and Elisa looked at eachother, "You should go to the nursery, no doubt your mate and children need your comfort in those conditions." said Elisa as she looked outside of the window, hearing the powerful drops of water hitting the glass, Hadad quickly nodded, his rider was right, he hasn't seen his mate and offsprings for a while, he quickly wished his rider a good night as he made his way towards the nursery.
Eventually Elisa and Anija remained in the study, Elisa yawned, "Anija i'm so sorry, but i'm too tired." said Elisa, by just hearing this Anija felt heartbroken, "B-But, tommorow i will probably have to go! We won't see eachother again!" protested Anija, with a sad voice, "Don't worry, my workers started building ships for my brother, in just a few days, i will probably reach the kingdom of my brother and we will see eachother again, i promise." said Elisa with a smile, this made Anija cheer up a little, they both left the study, Elisa walking slowly due to her exhaustion, meanwhile Anija was moving through the air just like a fish in the waters, "Good night Anija." said Elisa, "Good night Elisa." said Anija as Elisa made her way towards the bedchambers.
Anija now was alone, wandering the long halls of the castle of Aquaria, little did she know that Vrack was also awake, wandering the same hallways as her, eventually they bumped against eachother accidently, "Oh gosh, i'm so sorry!" apologized Anija with a quiet voice, "Ow... Don't worry, it's alright." replied Vrack quickly as he shook his head a little, "I didn't know you were still awake." said Vrack, attempting to hide his emberassment behind his voice, "I-I didn't know you were also awake." replied Anija with a stutter in her voice, unlike Vrack, it was harder for her to hide her emberassment, she could feel her heart racing, meanwhile she attempted to hide her blush under her celestine scales.
The two dragons stood there in an awkward silence, "What should i do... Should i confess to him?" thought Anija, this was probably the best opening she had, at first she was hesitant, thinking of the consequences if she did, "W-What if he rejects and tells my rider in person, oh gosh, what do i do?!" thought Anija again, meanwhile Vrack was also in a brainstorm, "If i don't confess now, the chances of finding another opening like this will almost be impossible!" thought Vrack.
Eventually Anija made a decision, "U-Uhm, Vrack?" asked Anija all of a sudden, this caught Vrack in suprise, "What is it Anija?" asked Vrack quickly, "There was something i wanted to tell you, but never had the courage to do it..." started Anija, as she looked down in embarrassment, "What is it Anija? We know eachother for a long time, you can tell me anything." said Vrack, with an interested voice, "Ever since we met eachother, we've been good friends, you were there when i needed you and i was there when you needed me." started Anija, "And by just being beside you in all of those wars,explorations and travelings, i've discovered something i never completly felt." continued Anija, "I felt like i've fallen for you." said Anija, as she looked at Vrack with her beautiful eyes, "Vrack... I love you." finished Anija.
Vrack stood there in silence, his draconic visage didn't even flinch, Anija looked down, as if she already knew Vrack's response, Vrack only smiled by seeing this as he went towards her, he gently lifted her snout and pressed his scaly lips with hers, in a warm draconic kiss.
