The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Konn was free to hangout two days later and we decided to meet up in the kingdom I was staying in. We went to a local cafe. “Did you fly all the way here?” I asked after sitting down at a small table.

Konn sat down across from me. “Yeah, it probably wasn’t as far a flight as you think. Plus, it’s nice to visit the neighboring kingdoms.”

I was so nervous. “Being here is a dream come true for a human witch. My mentor Betty would tell me all about this place. We planned this trip a year ago, but we’ve talked about it for years. Is it weird that I went looking for you even after ten years?” I blushed.

Konn chuckled. “I guess it was unexpected, you weren’t exactly a witch when we met.”

“Yeah, I didn’t start learning spells or anything about magic until I was fifteen… If you knew our chances of meeting again were slim because I’m human, why did you say you’d come back?” I asked. I waited for him for so long.

“I did go back to the outside world, a few times actually. Whenever I mentioned you, my father would say it wasn’t wise to closely befriend a human who lives in the human world. He reminded me that we were in the world for business not for a play date. He was right, I shouldn’t have promised something I couldn’t keep. After we finally retrieved what we came for we didn’t go back.” He looked at the menu. When the waitress came to take our order, we already knew what we wanted. “What made you finally believe me?” Konn asked when she left.

I smiled. “That you were a dragon shifter? I saw one of you fly off.”

Konn nodded. “It was my grandfather; I was hoping you’d see that at the time actually. I didn’t think it was very likely.”

Using his abilities so much shortened his life.” So, he was the holder that Gram told me about. “He would have been happy to know you came to visit me on your trip. He actually told me we’d meet again. His prophetic dreams were getting less accurate the older he got so I didn’t believe him.”
