#16 of How A Dragon Trains You

If you're seeing this and think "hey, this has popped up in my feed before!", then that is because it already had once. The older version was in urgent need of editing, which I couldn't get to right away at the time I had been notified (Thank you Cetacea for telling me!) so I decided to take it down and re-upload it once I fixed it. In case you're wondering, that was because of duplicate paragraphs in the chapter. That happened because Fahren had sent me his part piece by piece and each time he did that he couldn't remember what he had already sent me and what not, so he made sure and always sent a bit more. I thought I had edited out all duplicates, buuut apparently I somehow missed some. Whoops!

If you should find more duplicates, please tell me!

(Description of the older version:)

A little disclaimer up front: this chapter is some sort of a shortened version of the 16th chapter we had originally planned to publish. The missing content will be added onto the beginning of chapter 17 (or maybe will be published as 16.2. Gotta see). In case you're wondering why that is and what is going, me and Fahren have been both pretty damn busy and probably will be for a bunch of time. The production is also currently a bit... all over the place. Chapter 17 is almost done in fact, however cannot be published yet as some of the parts which Fahren would write himself are still missing and I cannot skip progress of the story by publishing chapter 17 already.

Second little disclaimer, what you are about to read in this chapter was written ENTIRELY by Fahren, who also created that thumbnail which I think I can stop mentioning now since it's been said the sixteenth time. So all credit goes to him! I didn't write a word in that. Well, except the headline. But still! I didn't even edit a word, because Fahren wouldn't let me... Trust me, I've tried.

Also, no marker for the pornz stuff because YOU'RE GONNA READ THE WHOLE THING AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT!11!1

Quick little summary: The mind-link went haywire! And now Mervyn's consciousness is in the wrong body... or is it all perhaps another dream?


How a dragon trains you

Part 16

Dragon for a day

Twitch-

I woke slowly and didn't even bother moving for a little while. I could tell it was morning because of the very dim red-shifted light that made it through my eyelids. Eventually, a yawn came over me, forcing me to finally move. I swung my head back a little and bumped against- the dragon.. oh yeah. Heh. I always love it when the dragon holds me all night long. Even though it should be less comfortable than a bed, I swear it just isn't. After a little more lazy waiting, I got another urge to yawn, which I happily went along with, but this time, I stretched out, too, and I again bumped my head against the-.. the, um.. dragon? I opened my eyes to find myself against a wall; he wooden slats of the barn's walls. Where was the dragon? And what is this thing I'm-

I looked down, feeling something in my arms. My breathing stopped all on its own. I might've suffocated if I didn't think about saying aloud the word "what?!" So many things happened at once. I saw a tiny human in my arms.. my black, scaly arms? I immediately traced up my arms to my chest, then my gaze darted down to my hind legs. Short, thick, scaly, and black. Tipped with claws. And a tail?! An effortless swish, and I brought my tail curling up around in front of me. My eyes were now as wide as they could possibly be. Woah woah WOAH! Whaaaat is this?! I'm a dragon? I'm THE dragon?! And I was holding a human. I'm.. in the barn.. with a human- is that ME? WO-KAY. This is- a-a dream. This- there's no way it could be anything else. Okay. Huh. I've been self aware in dreams before, but those usually feel sort of.. different. Almost like I don't care about the weird stuff that happens. But this? It feels so real! I can feel the temperature of the air, I can see dust particles floating slowly all around me, the colors aren't as vibrant, and WOAH my vision is fast! I can focus on anything instantaneously no matter how close or how far they are! This is COOL! Kind of unsettling, but COOL! Okay, wait. I've always been so curious what it would be like to be the dragon. There's a LOT to discover here! What else is there.. I gasped so sharply, I choked and coughed. Ghk-! WINGS! I jerked into motion, slowing down momentarily to not hurt the human.. er, me. Was this one of those shared dreams, maybe? I called out. "Draaaagon!" .. "Dragon?"

...

Alone. Huh.

I tiptoed over the sleeping.. me.. scooting him all the way against the wall to give him at least something to lean on still. I then looked over the edge of the railing at the ground down below. I took a look at the ladder to get down and figured I'd at least give it a try. I looked at my paws, turned them around every which way in front of me, inspecting them, admiring the intricate scales. I opened and closed the paws multiple times to watch how the black hide warped and stretched.. and the whole thing was surprisingly hand-like. It didn't have all the separately segmented digits but it could still kind of close, and I could angle the claws like if they were fingertips, though the claws themselves were obviously solid and unbendable. I turned around, rump-first, and placed a hind paw on the first rung of the ladder. It too was able to wrap around the wooden spar with surprising dexterity, and in the case of the hind paws, MORE so than a human foot. It was almost like two other hands! I gripped the first rung tighter with the paw and then leaned down to place the second hind paw lower than the first, but the moment I put any actual weight on it, the wooden spar snapped right out from under me! My hind paws both latched tightly onto the next two rungs in the line, but the effort to stop myself resulted in me putting way more weight on them, causing them to snap EVEN FASTER! Like a zipper, the rest of the rungs split in two at an ever faster rate until I found myself hanging onto the edge with both front paws. I held on for dear life.. until.. I felt the ground. It was.. right there. My hind paws couldn't reach, but my tail was already laid halfway onto the floor. Oh. Uh.. wow. I'm.. VERY tall. Haha. Okay! I let myself drop down onto my hind paws and I chuckled to myself as I looked at the ground to find the nearly entire ladder's worth of rungs all in a pile on the ground, save for the very bottom two. I never really thought about it, but I guess the dragon must weigh about a ton or two! This is an absolutely MASSIVE body! I felt weird standing up vertically. So much top heavy weight. I stepped back away from the ladder and into the wide middle room. I breathed a rather delayed sigh of relief, and stretched out, my arms reaching for the heavens and.. my wings doing the same, but straight out behind me. Woah! That felt weird! I swung them forward to get a good look at them, but in my haste, and not at all expecting the amount of force they would produce against the air, I sent myself backwards, toppling straight over onto the floor. Luckily, the thick, almost uniform coating of hay on the floor cushioned my back and I landed with a muted "ploof!" I took just a moment to shake my head and regain my senses, of which there were MANY. Many more than I was used to. First off, my head felt a little dizzied. It wasn't THAT hard of a bump, though.. I feel extra sensitive to that. My eyes hurt a little, too. (The larger an animal is, the less resilient to blunt force trauma. More mass means the tissues are put under greater strain when large accelerations or decelerations are applied. Especially the eyes. Night furies have absolutely massive eyes.) My ears feel weird now. Kind of like there's a strange pressure outside them. The same pressure you feel when descending down a mountainside from top to bottom. I yawned on purpose and the pressure went away immediately. Wait. But where did that come from? I only fell to the ground from standing up, not from a thousand feet high. I leaned up and sprung back up into a vertical standing position. My scaly brow furrowed. Now they feel the same way, but opposite, like, expanded a little. I bobbed my whole body up and down, up and down. Standing up to laying on the ground. Whaaat? I can feel the difference in air pressure? By just a few inches? But why? I grabbed my long, pod-shaped ears and squeezed them, which is something I immediately stopped doing upon getting a little shooting pain in my eardrums. Ow! What the-! Ow! So sensitive? What the hell?

I wanted to reach for them again, but this time I felt a little reflexive twinge happen at the very base of my ears in preparation. I gently grabbed them again, but this time, I felt no pain. I gently squeezed them again and heard a little puff of air. My ear flappy things are.. sealed.. but vented? I willed away the little twinge, feeling the bases tighten up again. With this next squeeze, it felt uncomfortable again. Woah. And hold on a second, what are all these other little ones down the sides of my head.. and even on the top! Each one I touched made.. noise, too. Wait, they are ALL EARS? ALL OF THEM?! I gave each one a little flick with a claw. It just.. sounded like.. whatever flicking your ear would sound like. But I had.. EIGHT OF THEM? The big main ones, the top-of-the-head-ones, and all of the ones going down the backsides of my jawline. Each one sounded ever-so-slightly different, though. The big main ones were the boomiest, and each one according to their size was less and less bassy, turning more kind of crispy sounding. I pinched each of them with two claws and gave them all a little wiggle, but then I flexed my ears kind of on accident. I didn't even know I could DO that! The move made them suddenly flare out at almost exactly ninety degrees from their swept-back resting position. W-WOAH! HOLY-! My surprise caused them to flatten back down and clamp hard against my neck. Woah, these are SUPER movable! I got pretty excited and started flaring and flattening all of my ears simultaneously. This is COOL! Hahah! They feel so funny! They're all so wiggly! Wiggle wiggle wiggle! Hahaha! I grabbed one on each side with each paw randomly and stroked them. This is so coo-ooooh~ Whaat was that? A little flutter shot through my chest. M-murrr~!! I suddenly slapped my lips shut with both paws. Did I just make that noise? Uh. H-heh.. that was.. kinda automatic. M-maybe that's something I should look into later, but for now, I was feeling a little hungry. I lifted my nose and sniffed at the air.

Woah. That was a familiar smell.. but it was so much stronger this time.. that's definitely the musky smell of.. oh my. My ears heated up and kind of throbbed lightly, it felt exactly like a blush, but.. in the wrong place. It was instead in all of my ears. They got all tingly and sensitive. I gently rubbed one of the left ones, then I also did it to the right side. W-wow.. I got another twinge in my chest AND in my loins this time. Mmmm, whaat is thiiis? Oh my gods, dragon ears are so amazing! Just then, my exploration was interrupted by a soft noise from outside the barn. One of the smaller ears flicked in reponse, and my head turned automatically toward the sound as if pulled by some invisible rope. My eyes locked onto where the noise came from and in between a few small gaps between the wooden slats, I could see it was some sort of small animal. Raccoon? Fox? My nose started immediately sniffing and I lowered down to the ground, finally resting all four paws on the ground like I was supposed to be. I sneaked closer to the wall and sniffed at it. Definitely some dirt-like smell, musky in an almost sour way. Interesting. My curiosity led me to back away slowly and head for the main entrance. I stuffed my nose into the crack in between the two large wooden doors and pried it open with a twist of my large, flat head. I was greeted with early morning sunlight but was surprised to find that it was earlier than I had expected. The sun had yet to rise. Funny, it already looked like daylight to me. But how? I know what it looks like before the sun rises, it is certainly not this bright! I took a look around me. First thing I noticed was a house directly ahead. Between me and it was an empty bit of tilled earth. It continued off to the right, expanding in size into a small field. This was an entire farm! But from the looks of things, it was either temporarily unoccupied or outright abandoned. One of the second story windows was swung wide open and left that way. And the farm was definitely not being kept up. Weeds grew everywhere, overtaking the land meant for crops, especially at the edges, large grasses rose up to create almost a natural barrier of their own. The air was perfectly still and cool, almost nippy. It wafted over my hide as I stepped out completely from the barn. The sky was dark blue, but it was bright? What an odd sensation. How is this-.. Wait, is this night vision?! The sun's not up yet and it looks like daytime! My jaw dropped as I looked around. I could see my breath billowing up from in front of me. I looked up at the sky, expecting to see stars, but indeed, it seemed like sunrise was just around the corner as the stars weren't quite as visible as they should've been. But the view was incredible nonetheless. Scanning below the treeline, where it should've still been pitch black, I could see everything! Every tree trunk, every branch on every bush, close or far. Darkness doesn't exist! I mean, I can TELL it's darker, but there's no indiscernible blackness anywhere. I can see everything! It just looks like slightly less vibrant daytime! I wanted a better vantage point, I wanted to see the whole view! This vision is incredible! I looked behind me at the barn, then at my surroundings, then at the house. I found a nice spot on the roof of the house and fixated on it. I hunkered down and-.. lost my concentration when I realized I had ABSOLUTELY no idea how to fly. Uhhh.. wings, first off. I flared them out wide. Woah.. this is SO cool! I gave them a gentle flap and then noticed something. I spread out the "fingers" of the wings a little bit more. They each had three segments. They were.. hands?! They were hands! Kinda! Sorta.. not really. But the operated exactly the same! I wiggled them randomly and they responded just the same. Each little segmented bit moving and curling. They're just kinda.. backwards facing hands! I actually knew EXACTLY how to move them! But first off, I didn't even know dragons HAD such dexterity in their wings! I could damn near scoop something up off the ground if I wanted! Er..

I tried to make the motion, but they weren't able to curl in on themselves to that extent. Definitely couldn't get anywhere close to making a fist or picking something up. Ah well, that's not what they're for, after all. They're meant for THIS! I leapt up into the air and flapped down hard! I then upstroked to ready for the next downstroke, but I just flapped straight upward, keeping the wings straight, which paddled the other way and sent me SLAMMING into the ground! OW! Shit! Haha, uh.. so upstroke is different from downstroke. C'mon, I should've known that! I practiced on the ground with very light strokes this time. Extend fully for the down.. curl the fingertips in for the up. At least, I think that's right? Or do I tuck the wings in a little for the upstroke? Maybe a combination of the two? I kept flapping with every increasing strength, feeling the way my body would lose and gain weight against the ground with each flap. This feels right. Whether or not it IS, I'll find out in a second, but here goes nothing! I jumped up into the air again, flapping hard, quickly shooting up eight feet, then CURL THE WINGS, AND FLAP AGAIN! I fearfully shut my eyes for a second and felt myself lift up higher. My eyes fluttered open and I was double the height off the ground. I stopped and kept the wings fully opened, which acted like a parachute, slowing my fall, which was still rather fast, but at the last second, I flapped once to come to an astonishingly light and delicate touchdown on the ground. WOAH! This.. is actually kinda easy. I grinned wide with excitement, and then fixated on the point on the roof where I wanted to go. My eyes narrowed as my smile turned into a smirk. Let's do this.. One! I flared my wings. Two! I hunkered down, ready to spring up. THREE! I LEAPT up, flapped hard, then again! Then I was upside down! The ground was in front me! Now above me! OH GOD WHAT?! I smashed into the side of the house and slammed down onto the ground again. This time on my back. I was curled over myself, my tail draped around and laying on my face. Agh! Ow-owwww!!! I got up and stumbled. Okay, that really hurt. I thought dragons were sturdier than this! Ohh, my back. I shook myself off and whipped my head around to look back toward my body. What went wrong?! I had the perfect form! I sifted through what had just happened in my mind.. and then I remembered the tail resting on my face. I was flying, and then I whipped upside down. I.. curled into a ball in midair. How-..

I looked at my tail. I swung it around to be next to me. I grabbed the tail fins and spread them manually with my paws, realizing. oooooOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! I expanded the fins, flexing some muscle I'd never felt before. TAIL! Stability! DUH! I didn't even USE it! I spread the fins as WIDE as I could and kept them there. I got back into position and took off once more. I flapped and flapped, trying to focus on keeping the tail straight and widened as much as I could. I quickly gained height, and just as I stuck my arms out to land, I felt my tail kind of sliding below me again. Oh no, come on! I flapped hard in a panic to avoid hitting the house again, but that sent me WAY high! Overshooting the roof and sending me well above the height of all the trees around me. UH. WHOOPS. OKAY THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY BAD. I was WAY high now and going higher! I kinda desperately paddled at the air with my tail, which I still had very little idea how to use, but it seemed to actually work! I wasn't in danger of becoming a spinning, screaming ball. There's so much stuff to keep track of! Downstrokes, upstrokes, tail straight, my legs are dangling, what do I do with my legs? Every time they swung around, I could feel my weight drift dramatically from side to side. My arms and legs were heavy! They're like big counterweights! I brought them up into a pencil dive position and held them there tightly. It seemed to centralize my weight and I could immediately feel a little more in control. Oh my gods, the amount of things I had to keep straight in my head. Arms in, legs, up, wings wide, flap those wings! tail straight, and FINS OPEN! I got this, I got this! I think.. I took a look around and stopped flapping.. causing me to level off and begin a gentle glide. Uhhh, uhhh.. I- I did it? I looked at my wings straight out beside me, I looked underneath my belly to see my arms and all the way down at my tail.. I looked backforwards and scanned the-

Woah..

..

The VIEW!! Look at the horizon! Divided right in two in a perfect line! The treetops stretching out for hundreds of miles! I saw Dummerston out in the distance, mountains to the west and behind me, capped in snow, several holes in the unending forest where lakes poked through. There were some early birds out, too, flying below me closer to the treetops. I was able to actually breathe for a second, even despite the still VERY present panic of me knowing I have no way of landing.. or the fact that if I stop doing any number of critical things with my body right now, I'm GOING TO DIE. But.. the scenery! The smells, the rushing air! I was above EVERYTHING! I could see the whole world! Look at me! I'm.. FLYING! I'M FLYING! Speaking of which, how do I, uh.. turn. I looked backwards at the barn, and the simple motion of doing so put my body into a natural arc in that direction. Seemed so automatic. My wings banked over and I kept a positive angle of my wings to make sure I wouldn't start diving. I felt myself descending, and flapped just once, regaining my altitude. I was so sensitive to altitude. I could feel it in my ears.. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO SENSITIVE! HAHAAAA! It's SO OBVIOUS! So I know exactly when I start losing height! It's an un-intrusive pressure that tells you how high you are! I did a quick yawn motion, and the ears vented, resetting the pressure inside so that now this height was the new "normal". This is absolutely genius! I had just finished the very slow turn and evened out. Already, I was loosening up a bit, feeling more comfortable, right up until the point when I decided to get back to the house. As my eyes again focused on the part of the roof I wanted to land on, I found myself diving.. w-whaa! Really fast, actually! I pulled up again just before I hit some of the treetops and tried to circle around again. Oh gods.. this is so hard. I don't think I'm gonna be able to slow down. How do you slow down?! I leveled off again and flapped a few times, gaining altitude rapidly. Ugh, it's so easy to go up, but it's so hard to go down!

I scanned the whole forest again and my gaze fell upon the largest of the lakes, due south. I did the slooowwww turn toward it and gennnntttllyyy pitched down. Immediately, I could feel the increase in speed, but the destination was so much further away this time that I felt okay with it. It was.. actually quite exhilirating! My heart raced, and I focused on the dark round patch. The sun still wasn't above the horizon, but it was getting closer. It turned out to be a lot further away than I was expecting. I took the time to soak in what was happening right now. I was even able to close my eyes. I could so accurately feel how high up I was, I could almost totally rely on that sense alone to keep me aloft.

I could so accurately feel how high up I was, I could almost totally rely on that sense alone to keep me aloft. Despite my better judgement, I did just that. I calmed myself, breathed slowly, held my wings out and trusted my senses completely, staying aloft with ease and relaxing with each passing second. Man, what a dream this was.. I could feel the flow of air over every square inch of my wings. I could even feel differences in temperature in some momentary patches of air. I opened my eyes back up and sighed happily, now almost on top of the lake. I remembered my task at hand, but I was much more calm about it now. It all felt so clear to me. I know exactly how to land! I don't need to splash down! I pitched further down and again felt even MORE speed come on. Man, this is wicked fast! And REALLY fun! I felt a strange sensation come over me as my heart rate picked up. The air felt thick and my hearing almost felt a little muted. I didn't think much of it as I came down right to the surface of the lake and reached out with a paw, having it skip ever so lightly over the surface. I looked back to see the twin little rooster tails of water as my claw carved through the surface. I could see the little droplets separate and fly up into the air. I dug my whole paw in to make a bigger trail and suddenly I felt myself pitch downward from the drag. Being only inches away from the water, this SHOULD have caused me to dive and splash down unexpectedly, but somehow the world felt a lot slower. I had plenty of time to arch my back and pitch my wings up, saving myself from a premature watery landing. I pulled up and away from the surface and zoomed upward with the residual speed I had. I looked around. My head and eyes darted with a speed I'd never experienced before. What is going on? Everything about me feels lightning fast! I lifted my head and my wings followed suit, carving an extra hard backwards loop which immediately sent me into a dive. My heart raced as the water rushed up toward me, I narrowed my eyes as if to challenge the earth to a game of chicken. My teeth bared and my ears flattened hard against my neck. I waited and waited, daring myself to hold out longer and longer until finally, I arched my body hard and YANKED my wings flat to pull up! My hind paws and tail slapped the water, but I SOARED up and out, shouting out into the sky a victorious roar! YYYYYYEEEAHOOOO!!! I turned upside down again, but then just rolled back upright into a stable glide. Finally, I decided to land and take a breather. With all the confidence in the world, I curled my hands-.. wings to brake in the air, literally making a grasping motion to catch the air in a big pocket to slow me down. Once I felt myself beginning to fall, I flapped my wings, remembering to flare them fully on the down stroke and curl them on the up stroke, slowly descending with ease onto the gravely shore below. I landed with a crunchy thud. Pant. Pant. Pant. I felt my huge lungs take in monumental gulps of air, only to exhale it all hard enough to actually blow a small crater into the gravel with repeat huffs. Now THIS.. is COOL! I stood rather still for a minute or two just catching my breath. Flying is a lot of work! I finally laid on my side and curled back toward the lake, looking out over the pristine surface, smiling to myself, even chuckling as I noticed the delayed waves from my paw stroking through the water finally reaching the shore, but by now, it was so dissipated, I was only able to tell the tiny change in the surface reflection with these incredibly sensitive eyes. The wave barely even made it to the shore.

I rested there and just listened for a while. The sun was so very nearly up that it began to slowly light up the sparse, patchy clouds in the sky. I decided to wait for a little while longer to just soak it in. It was going to rise from behind me, so I wouldn't get to see the sun directly as it arrived, but that's okay. The forest is so thick, I'd never be able to see it properly anyway, unless I fly, but I still felt a little tuckered out by the intense burst of exercise, so I was just going to enjoy it from wherever.

...

As I waited, I laid my head down, which was a curious sensation all on its own. My head naturally pointed forward while I was laying on my stomach, which felt really odd. Normally, my face would be buried in the gravel were I to do this in my human body. But this felt perfectly natural. No straining. And my giant, paddle-shaped head, with it's flat chin, rested oh-so-comfortably against the ground. Feels almost like when you climb in bed and find that perfect position with your head on your pillow as you curl up the rest of your body after a long day and tiredly exhale, except deep down, even though you're not outwardly smiling, you couldn't be any happier. Man, dragons seem pretty scaly and rough on the outside, but it's damn comfortable in here. I could definitely get used to this. And I'm laying on damp gravel! Outside! In the cold air! How is this at all comfortable? I resorted to stop questioning it and focused on the first ray of sunshine as it finally poked through the top most bits of the trees. Birds began to wake up and chirp off in the distance. One flew far overhead, now lit up by the sun. The single ray from before was now being joined by others, and all together they started to dip toward the lake, finally making contact with it about five minutes later, causing the first bit of glimmer. I got up and brushed a few small stones from my arms and down the side of my body that I was laying on. I made a point to go join the rays at the far side of the lake to finally see the sunrise for myself. I took to a nice trot along the right side, moving even closer to the water than before just to feel the cool ground beneath my paws as the air slowly heated up. My destination on the far side was also more grassy, and there was somewhat of a clearing in between the trees as well where a patch of yellow flowers lifted their petals to greet the sunlight. I could actually see that.. from this far away, too. It was a little less than a quarter of a mile's walk to get there and somehow I could see that in perfect clarity. Come to think of it.. holy gods, how far away CAN I see? This was on the short side of the lake. But the lake seemed to be about a mile long off to the left. I focused on the tip of a tree at the furthest point and I narrowed my eyes just a touch as I focused hard on trying to see what I could see. And there was a lot. I could still almost tell each individual leaf, the roughness of the bark below it and even that there were red berries on a small bush off to the right of it. My eyes flicked over to a hawk that took off and flew out over the water. I stopped walking and stared at it as it glided slowly, only to stop and dive suddenly, going for a fish presumably. It pulled up hard at the last second just as I had before, but with a splash, it lifted up away from the water carrying a decent sized fish, for the size of the bird anyway. I smirked to myself, whispering "nice job" under my breath. I continued to walk.

The grassy patch approached, and already the light had begun to touch me. But as I finally reached my destination, I was fully bathed in it. I looked back and squinted as the morning sun beamed ferociously at me, until it didn't all of a sudden. Woah. These eyes are really good! The sun's brightness seemed to dim substantially, and out of curiosity, I ran over to the water's edge to look at my reflection. I looked at my eyes, but the pupils were already widening again. I shot a glance directly at the sun and then darted my eyes back down. WOAH! They were downright razor thin slits! It was almost kinda freaky, but very quickly, they began to expand again as I wasn't directly looking into the sun anymore.

Man, I can't get enough of this! I looked into the water and just stared at myself again.. feeling up my brows and ears and chin, opening my maw to see all the pearly white teeth, sticking out my tongue and being amazed by the size of it. The damn thing is like a foot long! And that's just the part I can stick out of my mouth! And what was that smell? I flipped around, tail swishing fast enough to make some of the grass wave for a moment. I padded over to the small field parting the forest in two to catch a glimpse of a type of wildflower I knew I liked the smell of very much. If I'm not mistaken, that's the smell of.. I walked to the edge right where the trees began, but then turned backtoward the water, following my nose. Back closer to the shore just underneath two trees was a- Yes! A Star Jasmine! A whole bush of em! The small white flowers were so numerous that they seemed to outnumber the leaves themselves! Look at all of em! I bounded over and stuffed my nose right into the bush, inhaling deeply and feeling my lungs fill up nice and big. Then, I held my breath and exhaled through my nose, blowing a few of the already dying flowers off with the force of the air. Uh, sorry little plant, you didn't really need those anymore anyway, hehe. I stopped short, feeling a little tingle in my nose. My head shot up and I looked toward the water. Uh. Uh oh. My face contorted into a grimace as I felt a big sneeze coming on. Oh boy. Nn-nrraa! Gh! ACH--FF!

.. WOAH! I opened my eyes just quickly enough to see a streak of blue fire sail away from me and impact the water. The moment it hit, it created an enormous explosion and subsequent blast that lifted a considerable amount of water into the air. UHHH, did I just launch a fireball? Do dragons launch fireballs by sneezing? There's.. no way that's right. And WOW that is dangerous! I gotta keep that under control, I could easily light this ENTIRE forest on fire! But how did I even do that? I try breathing out really fast. Then gagging on purpose, which gave me an awful taste in my mouth. Then I just tried squeezing the back of my throat with my mouth open, which resulted in a stream of deep green liquid to come shooting out and splash on the grass in front of me. EW WHAT THE FUCK?! Is that fuel?! I watched it curiously for a moment, then reached a paw in my mouth and scraped some off my tongue. It was pretty runny stuff and it smelled and tasted pretty terrible. Ew. Okay, never mind. I don't wanna learn how to do this, I'm gonna burn the whole forest by accident. I shyly stroke over the top of my head, passing my right paw over my right ear.

The stroke felt pretty good. Then I remembered back to earlier how sensitive they were to touch. I did want to explore that in greater detail..

I gently stroked over both sides, grabbing both of the biggest ears on each side. Ohhhhh.. r-rraaah! I squeezed them very softly and rubbed them with my thumb claws. My ears heated up. Strange.. it was like a blush, but in the wrong place. My face wasn't warm like it usually gets. The feeling was relocated to my eight ears. I rubbed them again until I felt a twinge in my nethers. I looked down, lifted a paw, then paused. I wonder what dragon bits look like from up close... My gaze was frozen on the thin little line that held my dragon penis captive within. I felt my heart beat a little harder.. I gently rolled to my side, looking over my shoulder to check my surroundings. Nobody. No animals besides a few birds in the trees above. I lifted a wing to give myself a little bit of cover. I literally had my own privacy blanket. That's kinda cool. I reached down and rubbed the slit with two claws. Ohhhh.. heavens.. I poked a claw inside, but it was quickly pushed out by my emerging member. It was more pink than a human penis and a little redder, too. It glistened in the light as more and more emerged, surprising me overr and over again with every inch more that slid out. W-woah.. oh my, this is.. huge! Finally, it slowed to a stop, bobbing in the air which felt cold against it. It was really tiny at the tip. It tapered smoothly to a thick mid-shaft that only got even thicker as it finally reached the base which had intricate folds that I couldn't help but prod at for a moment. I ran one claw around the loose rolled edges all around the base of it. But it didn't take long at all for me to work my paw up to the base where I immediately flinched. It was sensitive. It was REALLY sensitive! And all over, not just at the tip! Agh! This paw is too rough. I looked at it, then baack at the shaft, then back at the paw. I gave it a single big lick. The saliva was thick and clingy. I touched it to the shaft and it felt MUCH better. I gave it a slow rub. It glided smoothly up the shaft, but it was still rough enough that my hing paws curled into fists of their own. Agh! Gods.. how are you supposed to do this?! I touched the tip with my claws and gennnttllly stroked down with just the very lightestt touch from the tips of my claws. That worked to not overstimulate the flesh, but now my touch was so light, it was next to useless. I growled. I looked at my paw for a second and then remembered.. wait.. Long head, long neck.. can I? Before I even finished the thought, my tongue was making contact with the tip. My hips bucked without my consent. This tongue.. is.. AMAZING! OH MY GODS! I closed my eyes and immediately hilted my maw with my own cock. MY OWN COCK! I eagerly lapped at the middle and base of the now happily throbbing breeding tool. MM! MMFF! G-HAA! I pulled away and watched the bright, glistening skin pulse with each heartbeat. Twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. gh! Oh man, this tongue is intoxicatingly good! This whole MOUTH! Man, why do animals get all the good perks?! I wanted to continue, but I also wanted to make this a little more official. I got up, member swinging beneath me, and found the nearest tree trunk to lean up against. But I wasn't just gonna sit! I'm gonna have fun! I instead flipped over onto my back, taking note to sit a little off center because the vertical scales sticking up off my back made it a little uncomfortable to lay directly on them. I used my wings to stabilize myself as I plopped my rump against the tree, scooting up a bit, hanging it and my tail and basically my whole lower body above my head. Arms and wings spread out on the ground for stability as I let gravity drag my lower half down into my face. My maw opened just in time, immediately beginning to suckle on my length again. I got an adrenaline shot that sparked a hefty grunt to emit from my flaring nose as I felt a deep tension build up in my chest. My eyelids squinted as my eyes themselves partially rolled back from the pleasure. Oh gods.. Ohhhhh!! I shuddered and squeaked, bobbing my head now.

I swear it took no more than thirty seconds before I felt that familiar welling up sensation in my groin. Gh- What? Climax so soon? Really? I stopped and slowly slid my maw off just as I felt a twitch shoot through my dragonhood. The edge came faster than I was expecting, and the pressure inside was already rising. Postponing the climax resulted in an unexpected throbbing soreness in my balls that borderlined on downright pain. It made me yelp! AGH! Ow! What did I do wrong? Does denial really hurt dragons that much? Gh. Maybe I was more into it than I thought. I gave in and immediately wrapped my now angrily throbbing spike back up in my lips. I resumed bobbing, which made the wave of tension come back. My nose flared with every deep, fast breath. I watched my whole lower half as it all twitched and flexed hard, making me curl in on myself tighter and tighter. I realized after a second or two that I was pushing VERY far into my throat! No gag reflex? How can this b- GH! The welling up began again and increased rapidly. Oh gods! H-here it comes! I scrun
