#Chapter 88 The Dragon’s Curse

Anila’s POV By the time we reached the dorm castle, it was beyond crowded. Professors and advisors were ordering people down the stairs and into the basement. I looked up at Harley, confused as to why we were being forced into a basement. “It’s a safe haven; they had it built in case of dragon attacks,” Harley explained. I stepped closer to him, feeling much calmer with his presence nearby. Though, it did nothing to calm my tremoring heart. “Harley, what if it’s my dragon?” I asked in a hushed whisper. “First of all, it’s not your dragon, Anila. The dragon belongs to the dragon masters and dragon king. Secondly, dragons are dangerous, and we need to stay clear of them,” he told me, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me close to him. I shook my head. “I can’t just sit here and do nothing if it is my dragon,” I said, tears filling my eyes. “I need to protect her.” “You need to protect yourself,” Harley said firmly. “I’m not letting you put yourself in danger like that.”
