Chapter 540 - 542

"Hisham, what do we do?" Scarlett asked, her voice tinged with desperation.

Hisham's gaze remained fixed on Amin, his determination unwavering despite the odds stacked against them. "We'll find a way," he replied, his voice tinged with resolve.

Together, they devised a plan, a risky gambit born of necessity and desperation. With their hearts pounding in unison, Scarlett and Hisham prepared to confront the slumbering dragon and retrieve Amin from its formidable grasp.

But as they stood on the threshold of uncertainty, the weight of their perilous endeavor bore down upon them. The dragon's presence loomed large, its sleeping form a testament to the danger that lay ahead.

Hisham's hands trembled slightly as he faced the daunting reality of their situation. "Scarlett, I'm scared," he admitted, his voice barely a whisper.

Hisham's eyes met Scarlett's, his own fears mirrored in her gaze. "We'll get through this," she reassured him, her voice filled with conviction.

But deep down, Scarlett couldn't shake the gnawing sense of dread that gripped her heart. The dragon was a formidable adversary, and the fate of Amin hung in the balance.

As they steeled themselves for the perilous task ahead, Scarlett and Hisham exchanged a final glance, a silent pledge of solidarity in the face of insurmountable odds. The dragon slumbered on, oblivious to the brewing storm of determination and fear that swirled around it.

And so, Scarlett and Hisham stood on the precipice of uncertainty, their hearts heavy with the weight of their quest. The dragon's presence cast a long shadow over their hopes, its ominous stillness a reminder of the peril that awaited them in the heart of the grand hall.

Hisham was so scared his body shivered like he's on an ice cube. She told him to stay at the doorway. Hisham stood frozen at the doorway, his entire being gripped by fear as Scarlett instructed him to stay back for safety.

He nodded silently, his body trembling uncontrollably like a leaf caught in a wintry gust. The enormity of their situation weighed heavily upon him, the slumbering dragon a formidable obstacle in their quest to reach Amin.

Scarlett moved cautiously towards Amin, her every movement deliberate and calculated to avoid arousing the dragon's attention. She tiptoed across the stone floor, her senses heightened to the slightest sound that might betray her presence.

As Scarlett approached Amin's unconscious form, she felt a surge of determination mingled with apprehension. She stole a glance back at Hisham, whose wide-eyed gaze conveyed a mix of concern and trepidation.

"Stay here, Hisham," Scarlett whispered, her voice barely audible. "I'll bring Amin back safely."

Hisham nodded silently, his heart racing with a cocktail of fear and hope. He watched intently as Scarlett closed the distance between herself and Amin, her movements graceful yet cautious.

Scarlett knelt beside Amin, her eyes scanning his still figure for any signs of injury. He lay motionless, his features serene in the dim light cast by the dragon's slumbering form.

Scarlett reached out hesitantly, gently shaking Amin's shoulder. "Amin," she whispered urgently, her voice barely above a breath.

Amin stirred slightly, his eyelids fluttering as consciousness began to return. Scarlett's heart skipped a beat as she waited for him to awaken, her focus solely on ensuring his safety.

Slowly, Amin's eyes fluttered open, confusion clouding his gaze. "Wh-where am I?" he mumbled groggily.

Scarlett offered him a reassuring smile, her voice calm and soothing. "You're safe, Amin. We're here to take you back."

Amin's brow furrowed in confusion, his gaze shifting from Scarlett to the slumbering dragon nearby. Realization dawned upon him, and fear flickered in his eyes.

"The dragon..." Amin whispered, his voice tinged with apprehension.

Scarlett nodded solemnly, her eyes fixed on Amin's. "We need to be quiet and careful. Can you stand?"

Amin nodded slowly, his movements sluggish from disorientation. Scarlett helped him to his feet, her every gesture deliberate and gentle.

Hisham watched anxiously from the doorway, his heart pounding with a mixture of dread and relief. He longed to rush to Amin's side but knew that caution was paramount in their precarious situation.

Scarlett glanced back at Hisham, her eyes conveying reassurance amidst the tension that hung heavy in the air. She motioned for him to stay put, her focus returning to guiding Amin towards safety.

Together, Scarlett and Amin moved stealthily towards the exit, their progress slow and deliberate. Scarlett kept a watchful eye on the dragon, her senses attuned to the slightest movement.

As they neared the doorway, Scarlett's heart leapt with a mixture of anticipation and fear. They were almost within reach of safety, but the looming presence of the dragon remained a constant threat.

Hisham's eyes remained fixed on Scarlett and Amin, his silent vigil a testament to his unwavering determination to see them through this ordeal.

Scarlett took a deep breath, steeling herself for the final stretch. With Amin by her side, she edged closer to the exit, her movements careful and deliberate.

But just as they were about to reach safety, a faint noise echoed through the hall, a low rumble that reverberated through the air.

Scarlett froze, her heart skipping a beat as she realized the dragon was stirring from its slumber. She cast a quick glance towards Hisham, who watched with wide eyes from the doorway.

"Hisham, stay back!" Scarlett called out urgently, her voice a whisper of warning.

Hisham's eyes widened in alarm, his body tensing with apprehension. He watched helplessly as Scarlett and Amin stood frozen in the dragon's lair, the threat of danger looming closer with each passing moment.

Scarlett's mind raced with options as she assessed their predicament. They were so close to safety, yet the dragon's awakening threatened to dash their hopes.

With steely resolve, Scarlett took Amin's hand and made a split-second decision. She led him towards a nearby alcove, their only refuge from the impending danger.

As they sought shelter, Scarlett's heart pounded in her chest, her thoughts consumed by the urgency of their escape. She cast a desperate glance towards Hisham, silently willing him to stay safe.
