By Magic and Blood

Description

Bound together by the dying spell of the sorceress who raised him, a dragon and his would-be-slayer must learn to live with each other as they search for a way to break the curse.

Decades later and no closer to finding a solution, the pair are unwittingly pulled into the war between two neighboring kingdoms when they save a crown princess searching for a powerful magical artifact that will bring an end to the fighting.

Foreword

A Kingdom at war.

A curse joining dragon and slayer.

A magical artifact with the power to bring peace to the land.

A love that cannot be.

 

It was all because the sorceress had named him the 'slayer who doesn't slay'.  Jiyong really didn't think that was fair but it wasn't like he could argue the point now.  She herself was dead, he was stuck with the dragon he now couldn't kill, and the only thing he had to go on was the last weird thing she'd told him in that vacant-eyed trance she had claimed was a message.

 

‘Firestone’s power will fail above the fireball’s crater.

Teeth will tear and claws will rend the flesh of what once were men.

The tears of the sun will give the sky strength and the blood of the moon will save the heart of the dragon.

A leader will rise to capture the falling star and weather the ire of the blind one.’

 

What the hell was that supposed to mean...?

Chapter 3: Lol oh my I did not expect the comedy! Their interactions were unexpectedly lighthearted with one another. It certainly makes me.wonder what the rest of the story will read as but of course, I'm excited to see.
There was a bit of useful information in this chapter too. I like that Changmin has a human mark instead of a dragon one, that makes it fit really well. And I love that my question about her magic last chapter was answered here. But most of all, the clue! *flails* I need to go reread the prophecy, I think. ;)

Chapter 2: Okay firstly that is an awesome image. Thanks for providing the visual of it!
The serene beginning of this chapter really had me fooled, and by the end I was feeling deflated and sad. It's a real shame about Michelle, she reminded me a lot of Morgana actually and I would have loved to know her more but it had to be. It was not in the way expected though! And not her death but the fight, I mean. I fully expected her to use her magic to battle them and so was definitely surprised when it was with hands and dagger. Then again, I can picture her so well doing it and it was honestly a very badass moment *sad*.
I'm certainly interested in the men who attacked them, where they were any from and who they report to, and especially the fact that one was left alive. And how in the world Jibing is supposed to move about the world with a dragon now tailing him haha.

Chapter 1: Oh this was quite the intro! The way that you set the scene and introduced us to the main hero was interesting for sure. It feels similar to the writing of Stephen R Lawhead: very old and set in our world in the past when magic was abundant. It's a different feel from you to be sure but it's nice!
The ease with which Michelle speaks says that she believes the prophecies fully. As soon as he questioned it I wanted to smack him because duh, we just saw his mark on his wrist! But great foreshadowing with that because it sets the readers up to know he is going to become very important.
I'm definitely intrigued by the dragon. For some reason I expected him to have a humanoid Form but from the way that she speaks to and of him, it sounds like he does not. So this should be incredibly interesting as we move forward!

Chapter 1: Wow, this was very interesting so far. i can't wait to see how this progresses. One thing i really like about your story is the detail and variation of the sentences you wrote, from describing the actions to the way the characters talked. Overall, its a great introduction to what i think is a really good story lmao. You should update soon; I'm looking forward to the storyline and its characters developing. (the length is also vvvv good, a nice chapter that isn't too short or too overwhelmingly long lol)
