章 54: The Web of Shadows

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. I woke up feeling the warmth of Seraphina beside me, her presence a comforting reminder of the bond we had forged. She stirred, her golden eyes slowly opening to meet mine. 

"Good morning," she murmured, a soft smile playing on her lips.

"Good morning," I replied, feeling a rush of affection for her. "Did you sleep well?"

"Very well," she said, stretching lazily. "But I must return to the Dragon Realm today. Duty calls."

I felt a pang of sadness but nodded in understanding. "I know. But I'm glad we had this time together."

Seraphina leaned in, her lips brushing against mine in a tender kiss. "I'll come back soon," she promised. "Take care, Emily."

"You too," I replied, watching as she transformed back into her dragon form. With a powerful beat of her wings, she took to the sky, disappearing into the morning light.
