Wasteland Survivor – Emergence - ch23
#24 of Wasteland Survivor
If you came to this as a regular reader, awesome, welcome to my 'month off work, writing madness', enjoy the tags and yes, they are correct.
If you came here, having not read any of the story, looking for a quick yiff scene, I would advise leaving now. If you want a good story of romance and love and guns and furs and and and.... go back to the start and begin reading, this chapter brings the story to ninety nine pages and just shy of fifty thousand words.
And now, enjoy a break from your regularly scheduled disaster.
We were flying, just soaring, Drath was using as little energy as he could, so we could maintain this for a long time. Which he did.
Hours past, eventually hunger struck too hard and I reached down to one of the saddlebags we had tied on to him. I pulled out a roll filled with meat, cheese and some chopped vegetables.
~"Thank you little sister, your hunger was starting to burn a hole in my gut as well."~ Drath commented. He almost needn't have though, I could feel what he felt so much now that our minds were just a smidgen from sharing at a more concious level.
We rode thermals for over two days, Drathnial was living off the large meal he had consumed before we left, I was surviving on the rations we had packed, but even those became light. Despite his size, there was only so much we could pack onto him without causing him problems in flight.
Suddenly, I raised my nose, and drew on that sense as hard as I could, there was a slight scent on the air, one that triggered something. It took a moment of my olfactory trying to analyse it to realise that it wasn't me processing it, it was Drath. And it smelled of female.
~"That what you have been searching for?"~ I asked him, knowing already it was exactly what he was looking for.
~"Mmmmm"~ Was his reply, tucking wings and gliding down, sacrificing altitude for speed at a rapid pace.
We broke down into lower air and the smell came to both of us at once, and without a doubt, it was a female dragon, and more, it was near its heat. My groin tightened sympathetically, adding to my, and the dragons, arousal.
We simply followed our noses to a mountain range, pocked by craters and scorched recently by forest fires, suddenly another form was in the air with us.
~"Who comes to my land without welcome?"~ A booming voice grew in my mind.
~"Drathnial! And I am here for you!"~ Both our minds shrieked at once, flinging the speech back at the slightly larger female. I should have shaken my head, tried to break free of the mind-to-mind link with the dragon, but it was not something I even cared to do at that time as we rode downwards with speed, swooping past the rising dragoness too fast to intercept.
~"What is this? A male? It has been so long..."~ The other replied, much softer, almost in relief. ~"But, you bring something else. You have a creature riding you! You are no dragon, but a beast of burden for this pest!"~
She swooped down on us, slashing the ropes binding me to Draths back, even as I fell our minds held. At once, I landed on the ground lightly, looking up, and I was also gliding, swinging around wide in the air, vision fixed on the female.
She swooped down at me, ~"Begone pest, I will free this wretched male from your bond-ship and have him as mine!"~
All of a sudden, wings, claws and teeth were my world. I swung my bare fists, brought my own small claws to bear, throwing my all into it. ~"Give in little one, you have shown great spirit, standing to fight me, but you have no chance to kill me."~
I was grinning, ~"I want no part in killing you, but for my brother, I would fight you and weaken you so that he can easier lay his claim!"~
I let a song fall over me, it wasn't battle rage, although it had a little of that, the source was from the 'other me' the one circling, it was a mating song. The female dragon staggered.
~"How can you sing this tune, how does one of your kind even hold up against ME?"~ She shrieked into my mind. She could, of course, have tried to rake my mind with hers, but her honour gave her no quarter in that, to defeat me in that manner would be to lessen herself.
I leapt, laying one last punch into her strong wing muscle on her right side, it wouldn't damage it, but it would cause it a light bruise, a slight weakening. I let the song flow through me completely and I was suddenly incapable of fighting, I dropped to my knees and looked up at the stunned and not the least, horny, dragoness. ~"Go, fight him for his right to mate. It has been too long for both of you!"~ The shout reverberated in her mind, I thrust it as hard as I could and all of a sudden her mind joined the song. I collapsed on my side, one hand dropping to my groin, the other groping wherever it could find purchase.

Fox was down, felled by the song, lost to our shared lust.
The dragoness was magnificent, she looked up to me and roared wordlessly into the world and our minds. The need in that voice drove Fox to further excess. Then the dragoness sprang to the air, leaving my little sister helpless and mewling on the ground, somehow though, she still sang along with her souls voice.
The dragoness' launch catapulted her in my direction and she barrelled up at me. What followed was the most amazing flying I have ever done, we passed back and forward at each other, she would try and rake me or punch me with her clawed legs, I was merely trying to grapple, neither of us managed our tasks.
Flying higher and higher we rose, passing back at each other one last time I heard her gasp as her right wing faltered in a beat and she slowed slightly, it was all I needed and I made my grab.
Pulling her body tight to mine, wrapping my tail around hers, our sex aligned perfectly. I entered her, pushing in deeply. Working her, tumbling down from the sky, the world was on fire with need. The normal duet of our song was still being supported by a third voice.
The ground came at us closer and closer, then the crescendo hit us. All three shrieked out the ultimate release of power from both our soul-voices and our bodies.
Pulling apart, we glided lazily back down, collapsing on either side of Fox, our minds quietly purring at our fulfilled need, as oblivion overtook us.
-
I woke, warmer and feeling better than I had in quite a while. It was then the reasons for both of these hit me at once. I had two dragons bracketing me, stray thoughts and repeats of the pleasure that had been released in their mating flight still purring off their minds, I relaxed back into that happiness, letting it pour over me and subsequently flow fourth back from me to them.
It was a few hours later that one of the minds reached a higher level of wakefulness.
~"Brathnian. My names is Brathnian."~ The dragoness sleepily said, I felt satisfaction pouring through her very being.
~"This fine male here is Drathnial, as you know. I am simply known as Fox. Its a... pleasure to have met you, Brathnian."~ I couldn't help breathing the ache I had into her name, not too long ago I had mated with her, maybe not physically, but at a much deeper level. I couldn't help feeling suddenly defensive of her, she was my mate, she would need protecting.
The last thought, I realised was Drath's, he to was slowly coming around. I had discussed this with Crystal before we left, she had been the one demanding I go with Drath, insisting that no matter what, he find a mate and bring her back to the camp. I had blushed deeply at the mention of 'no matter what' and she had confessed, 'yes, even that'. She knew we were linked deeply, and Drathnial had later confirmed that she had spoken to him about it, and told him to take me.
I sighed, it seems I really did have the best girlfriend in the world, even if she was the toughest of task masters.
~"I am not going to bother asking how, or why. You are his, he is yours, now you are both mine and me yours."~ She said, radiating her feelings. ~"I can feel you have another, a lover more suited to your size, this matters not. If she is your love and, apparently, the pack leader of Drathnial, I am sure she is worthy for me to know."~
I looked up at her, not her eyes, I couldn't see those from my position, but just looked at HER. Fuck, I was in love, for the first time, all over again. Irrational I know, but its the only way to describe it.
The journey back was more sedate, Brathnian was still a little sore from where I had connected with her wing muscle, a wound she said she would carry with pride. We had to stop to hunt, my food was all gone and both dragons needed energy after their mating flight.
At last though, we saw the camp and lazily circled them.
~"These are your pack? They are all small... Ok ok, I understand, with Fox as an example, I can't take size as an indication of strength. Is your mate down here Fox?"~ Brathnian asked.
~"She is, it has not been too long and she will have been alerted to our return."~ I replied.
~"Alerted? Oh yes, you said she was the pack leader, fitting for a female of strength, and your mate."~ She added. She had peeled the fact of Crystals femininity from us quickly, connected as we had become. While she didn't disapprove, she was a little puzzled at how two females could be bonded.
We landed and Crystal was there to welcome us. I dismounted and before I could go to her Brathnian roared, ~"Is this your mate!"~ gesturing with a wing tip to Crystal. At my feeling of ascent, she dove at the wolf, claws and fangs flying.
Only to be stopped, held back and eventually, held down.
"Yes. Brathnian meet Crystal, Crystal, this is Brathnian, dragoness and uh, Drath's and my mate." I finished looking a little red, not that unusual but Crystal picked up on it, walking past the helpless dragoness to reach for and embrace me.
"Its ok babe, I figured this might happen. I also knew I shouldn't stop it. She is a damn fine looking dragoness, even if I do say so. Could do with some lessons on manners, but I think Drath will help with that, right brother?" She looked at the smaller of the two dragons, standing proudly beside his, now, mate and his pack leader, embracing each other.
~"I think she will learn respect the same way I did, as a fast lesson but a deep one."~ He rumbled, suppressing laughter.
All of a sudden, the dragoness rose to her feet, freed. ~"I see now why you follow her"~ she gestured to Drath, ~"And why you are bonded to her."~ She gestured to me this time.
~"Pack leader, my alpha, can I remain in your lands?"~ She asked, directing her thoughts to Crystal.
"Stand beside us and make the enemy bleed more than we do. Support each other as though they were your own child. Enjoy freedom and understand everyone else has the same right. And of course you can stay Brathnian, mate of Drathnial and Fox." She replied.
A cheer rose in the camp, I could feel it already, a hangover was peeking its head over the horizon, leering in my direction.
It would be a long night.
