63 Truth and Lies

Drake followed Agatha inside the manor. His heart ached when he saw Hope's gaze. He wanted to run to her, hug her, kill that man who was standing so close to her. 

But first, he had to figure out what were Agatha's intentions, and if she would help Hope. He hadn't seen her in six years. Although a lot had changed in the meantime, one thing had remained the same. Drake had never known what she really wanted from him.

Twelve years ago, when the Draconians exiled him, Drake got in return the Springwood Castle and other estates befitting a lord. His mind was driven wild by the voice of the Fire Dragon, so he no longer could stay that way. He looked for solutions to his problem. Drake traveled far and wide all over Sundac for several years before he heard about the story of a closed community in the Forest of the Damned.
