Ch 6: Confession
Imported from SF2 with no description.
The clouds had finally decided to disperse as the sun sank entirely out of view, the night sky clear, showed a beauty unlike that I'd ever seen before. Amidst a sea of stars, two purple moons shone down and lit up the clearing. An occasional blue comet streaked across the canvas of the dark Byzantium sky. We dragons do have a sort of darkvision, granted it's not as extensive as some species of the realms but enough to see vague shapes and oncoming dangers within fifty feet or so. However with the light of the two moons we could see the relative secluded scenery just fine. I settle down to sleep when I realise Calamity has yet to return, probably still upset with me. Inferno kept fidgeting from side to side, like she was displaying herself. Wait! Was she mate calling me with a display? Surely not... Only one way to find out.
“What are you doing?" I ask boldly.
“Is it not obvious my Tyrant, I am trying to woo you into breeding with me" She flutters at me with a charming cute smile while I stare at her completely gobsmacked. I knew it. Before I could react to Inferno's words I realized that Calamity had positioned himself behind me, with the intent to pounce on me while I was distracted no doubt, which meant he had forgiven me at least. I'd never considered he could actually be so stealthy, the shiny stars above and Inferno had almost managed to keep me distracted long enough for him to sneak up on me, I figure. Whipping my head around, I turn to face the green oaf.
“Nice try but my keen senses saw you coming a mile away" A slight lie to try and discourage him from future attempts. Calamity had that all too familiar mischievous grin across his face. Clearly his desires mirrored Infernos as well, we were alone, it was our first night away from the Dragon Realm. O_f course he only has breeding on his mind._ “Have both of you seriously lost your minds!?" I fume “My Sire bestowed a extraction for us to carry out."
“Best chance we shall get my Tyrant" Inferno retorts, leaning forwards and pushing herself up before slowly approaching me, her head held low and swaying slightly with each step in a seductive manner. I was trapped between two horny underlings and I was at a loss with how to deal with this situation. My emotions were all over the place as they both trod closer, I gained a whiff of their scents causing my heart to pump a little harder, sending a few firm pulses down towards my nethers. I need a distraction, perhaps informing Inferno about the distaste the Dragon Realm has on different classes breeding together, no that would sound stupid.
“My Dominion is constantly thinking of our Sovereign's desires instead of simply enjoying the moment, he'll let this extraction consume his waking thoughts." Calamity suggested, interrupting my train of thought. He speaks truth, I will give him that. “You know Inferno, my Dominion constantly avoids breeding with me, what chance do you think you have?" he chuckles at the irony.
“Perhaps we should breed instead, while our Tyrant broods, maybe he will get jealous?" Inferno retorts. Calamity now beside me stops chuckling, apparently caught a little off guard by the offer made.
“I have been saving myself for my Dominion" He retorted with great confidence, like it was certainly going to happen eventually. Chances were high enough, I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested, if only I could escape my Sire's domain.
“Perhaps my Tyrant has no interest in you?" Inferno asks with a gentle voice in hopes of avoiding tension or upset, the entire time their advance had closed the gap, before I realized it all three of our snouts were almost touching. During my personal mental panic of the situation I saw something clear as day; a tear, rolling down from the corner of Calamity's eye, his charmed face turning to one of despair.
“Maybe you're right, maybe my Dominion doesn't find me attractive, perhaps I have been foolish in chasing him this long, I may have swayed him away from me with my constant persistence." Calamity voice was full of sorrow, he was disheartened and a throbbing pain ached across my heart. The green oaf was turning away to conceal his feelings from us and I snapped, I could no longer stand to hide my feelings from him.
“You bumbling idiot, I DO find you attractive, very attractive! If not for the situation with my Sire's domain I would have mated with you long ago!" I state with full pride. I no longer wanted to see him suffer this way, I no longer cared about my Sires restrictions, they were nonsense after all. Calamity turned back to face me, a glee shone in his beautiful dampened yellow eyes, his head lifted in hope.
“You really mean that my Dominion?" Calamity asks with uncertainty.
“Absolutely" I state affirmatively and firmly.
“I believe that's the sweetest thing you have ever said to me my Dominion" Calamity says with joy, tears truly beginning to roll from his eyes, though I knew they were tears of joy. The weight of denial of our true feelings finally lifted.
“What part of Sovereign's domain prevents you two from mating?" Inferno inquires. Surely she should have been taught this, then again after having to explain earlier to her about our differences in scales and breath attacks, she had proven to be naive in such matters.
“Oh right. Sovereign won't allow my Dominion to mate lesser classes or males due to wanting an heir. Nor are dragons allowed to mate with other coloured dragons, in order to keep the colour lines pure" Calamity remarks, shaking away his tears as he spoke with a distaste in his maw.
“How preposterous, my Tyrant! Do you condone such actions?" Inferno retorts, clearly unaware of the Dragon Realms principles. Naivety at its best!
“Of course I don't. What kind of dragon do you take me for? I am trapped in chains of expectancy of his rule. I seek freedom and our fellow idiotic dragons who follow my Sire so blindly to flourish beyond prosperity" I say proudly.
“If it means anything my Tyrant, I have a difficult sire too, Incinerate is ashamed of me. Although I will never allow him to dictate who I can mate with." Her words are sharp then turn sympathetic “Yet after meeting your sire, I can understand your predicament. Not even I dare disobey Sovereign." An awkward silence follows momentarily. “So how about it, are we still breeding or not?" Inferno asks. So we are back to the subject of breeding, although who was I kidding, I desired to show Calamity how much he means to me.
