PART 5

(And so we enter the battle-scene...Apologies in advance but a few things might get a little fucked up, battle tends to give hazy memory because you're focusing on so many things at once. If I can remember it without messing up...well, good i guess.)

There we were, a silver-and-multicolor flood along the face of the mountain, surprisingly barely making a sound as we crawled to our destination. Flora had edged her way to my side; it wasn't uncommon, a lot of dragons moved among the ranks, but we tried to keep things as even as possible. My heart was racing, but I couldn't tell if it was fear or anxiety or excitement...or the fact that Flora was right next to me and kept rubbing her tail against mine and making me have to really focus on not unsheathing myself. Next thing I knew, we had stopped, right behind a small arete, and Dorchar and Murdon were looking over the top of the thin ridge into the valley below. (note: I just realized, i haven't explained what "ferals" are. They're a breed of dragon that went wild and over the generations has become more animal. They still have some of our mental facilities, but for the most part they mainly operate on instinct. It's a blight on our species but by all technicalities they are still considered dragons.) Beside me, Flora sighed, her breath shaking a bit.

"Gale...I'm scared..."

"Why? You're an awesome fighter, what's there to be scared of?"

Before Flora could reply, Dorchar gave the silent signal. My memory is a fuzz in regards to what exactly happened, but it went something this. We quietly crept down the arete as quickly as possible. The enemy was preparing for their assault, but when the alarm began sounding, it was complete chaos in the camp...the field was prime for harvesting. In fact, our job was made easier; in their mad rushing our foes injured each other trying to ready themselves. A few Ochres and some feral dragons were already geared up, but they didn't dare try to rush at us, that was suicide. It didn't matter, within two minutes chaos was echoing across the mountains as we fell on our enemies. Left and right I was tearing Ocres and ferals apart as they came at me to die. Thing is, I don't feel bad about it; it was in all truth a kill-or-be-killed situation and these things were bent on murder. I snapped an Ocre's neck, threw him to the side and tripped up a feral about to de-spine one of my comrades, and whipped another feral in the back with my tail, throwing him off-balance enough for another ally to end him. Suddenly I was ganged-up on by at least fifteen feral dragons, all eyeing me hungrily, but their bloodlust turned to fear when I froze half of them and proceeded to claw them to pieces. One of them tried to jump over my back but a quick flick of my wing dissuaded him. Another used the distraction and the next thing I knew there was a set of teeth piercing the scales on my unguarded arm. I snapped his neck with my jaws but had to quickly pry his teeth out of myself...good flamebreath it hurt like hell!

Flora saw what happened and froze, and shrieked as an Ocre hit her neck and knocked her over. I froze...something inside me heated up past boiling, but I somehow suppressed it and rushed to her aid, tackling the Ocre onto the spikes of a fallen feral's armor. Flora whimpered and slowly got back up, lashing another Ocre as it backed up towards her.

"You okay?"

"I think so...least I'm still standing..." Something caught her eyes and I ducked, and she blasted a feral flying towards us with her electric breath. The creature screamed and fell to the ground.

"I think we're winning...Look out!" I shoved her to the side and turned my back, catching the brunt of a fireball with the armor on my side. The feral that had fired at us flew overhead, but shrieked in fear when I caught its tail and dug in with my claws. My side throbbed badly as Flora took over for me, lashing at the feral and giving me clearance to recover from the blow. Four Ocres were teaming up on Dorchar, and there was a clear shot between us...next thing he knew two of them were frozen solid.

The battle went on for a good two hours, but finally we stood victorious. We were very lucky, too; no casualties but quite a few near-lethal injuries. I had some nasty bruising along my side and I limped around the battlefield with Flora and Glairn after wrapping my bitten leg. Glairn went off to join the younger group of our army, and Flora nuzzled against me.

"We won..."

I smiled and licked her cheek. "I know...bleah! Victory tastes like blood and dirt..." I spat on the ground and she giggled.

"Thanks for saving me..." She leaned against me and I folded my wing over her back. Her helm was fractured and she sensed my worry and sat back. "Something wrong?"

I removed her helmet and she gasped in shock as blood suddenly poured down her face. There was a cut between her fins where the metal had dug through her hide, and apparently her helmet was so snug on her the blood had created a small vaccuum and contained itself against her. "Sh...you're okay, Flora," I said as I felt her starting to panic. "It's not bad, just a hide-puncture."

She sat back on her haunches and I watched in surprise as water bubbled around her head and mixed with the blood. The water then flew off her onto the ground and more began running off her scales, cleaning her off. She shook herself off and saw me staring at her. "What?"

"What...where'd the water come from?"

She shrugged. "I dunno, I've always been able to do that."

"Ahem," someone coughed irratibly behind us, and I jumped and looked back. Dorchar was glaring at us. "If you two lovebirds are finished, may we please join everyone else?"

The army was already headed back and the three of us flew off after them. It was a fairly quiet flight back to the caves, but once we landed, it was chaos as everyone either broke down or started chatting about the battle. Several of us, including Flora, were taken to the medical caverns to have their wounds addressed; those who had been seriously injured were already down there, having been brought here ahead of everyone by the fastest flyers. Nargalath found me watching everyone else talk.

"Froststar?"

"Gale, sir, if you don't mind."

"Gale. Why aren't you with everyone else?"

I honestly didn't know, and I shrugged. "I don't know. I don't really feel like talking."

"You've been alone for most of your life, I can see that already. You're worried about Flora too."

"Kind of...I know she's fine though."

"I noticed you were distracted during the pre-training stretches."

Oh...shit... I coughed and could tell he was smirking. "I...uhh..."

"You don't need to tell me, but I would suggest not letting it happen again."

I nodded and we both fell silent, watching the group. Some dragons got into a fight and I stood up to go remediate, but Nargalath's claw against my hip made me sit back down. After a while I excused myself from Nargalath and went into the caves to see if I could find Flora. She was in the medical ward, lying on a bed with a cloth wrapped around her head. She had her eyes closed, but grinned as I approached the bed.

"You okay?"

"Yeah...just really tired..." She rolled over and looked at me through lidded eyes. "Good thing you caught that...the weapon that Ocre used was poisoned. Had my blood stayed there and held the poison against my wound I could've been permanently hurt."

I stood up a bit and ran my paw over her face, eliciting her angelic purring. "I'm sorry about the way I acted this morning..."

"You're fine..." She yawned and smiled at me sleepily. "They haven't finished our quarters so we're outside again."

Inside I groaned but I didn't let her know it bothered me. "Okay. You gonna be in here all night?"

"Nope. I'm coming outside whether they like it or not. I like it better outside, caves are bleh when you've been in them most of your life."

"Let's not have a repeat of last night."

She nodded, but looked a little disappointed. "Okay." She brightened up a bit. "Why not find a more flowery area to sleep in out there?"

"Flowery?"

"Yeah, I like flowers..." She yawned and closed her eyes. "Dammit, that medicine's hitting me again..."

"You get some rest...guess I'll see you tonight."

That night I waited in the garden, trying not to smile. I'd found an area so laden with flowers...I couldn't wait to see her reaction. The moon began rising and I yawned...what was taking her so long?

"Flora...hope you're okay..." The thought crossed my mind...could she possibly have been knocked out cold by the antidotes? If so I was on my own out here... I'll wait here as long as I need to...

Next thing I knew, someone was touching my face. "Flora..."

"Wake up, Froststar."

I snapped awake to see five burly dragons towering over me. Oh shit...this can't be good. "What do you want?"

"Oh, nothing much..." I suddenly went rolling and my whole neck hurt like hell. "JUST THAT!!"

"What the hell?"

"We'll kill you now and get rid of Aznor before you take any chances," one of them said, and rushed at me. The next five minutes it was a five-on-one battle, but they hadn't anticipated my speed and reflexes as an ice dragon.

"What're you doing out here in the open?" one of them taunted. "Waitin' for your lover?"

"As a matter of fact...YES!!" I slammed him right into one of his buddies, knocking them both out cold. Now I was down to three with a bad scratch along my arm and a bruised hind leg. I didn't dare use my ice-breath...that was forbidden here. Apparently, though, these bastards didn't care, and one of them, a huge earth dragon, blasted me with an energy breath, making the ground under me explode and sending me flying. I straightened my wings and flapped madly, bringing myself to a hovering stop just above the ground. They'd initiated it...next thing they knew they were coated in thick layers of ice, unable to move. I landed, and heard myself yell in pain as my legs gave out...apparently the explosion had hit me harder than I'd thought.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!" Dorchar's deep voice rumbled loudly over us like thunder. He rushed in and looked from me to the frozen and knocked out dragons, and saw the blasted earth. "Gale? You okay?"

I slowly stood up and nodded. My legs were throbbing but at least I could move. "Yeah...they came out and started attacking me."

"I was afraid of this..." He whipped around and punched the frozen dragons, shattering the ice and sending them backwards. "GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES INSIDE THIS MINUTE!!" he roared, and they ran off without question. The two unconscious ones he roughly tossed to the side with frightening strength, then he turned to me. "I'm sorry for this."

"They said something about Aznor..."

"I know. I was hoping no one would attack you because of it, but there's a deep fear in the army concerning you and the power housed in you. If you're not careful there could be a war against you."

I looked at the ground... "Is...is Flora okay?"

"I came out here looking for her...did they say anything about her?"

"They only asked me if I was 'waiting for my lover'...which I was until they hit me."

He growled, looking towards the cave. "Something is at work here..."

"Gale?! Gale!!" came Flora's voice, and Dorchar stepped to the side as Flora rushed up to me and almost threw herself on me. "Oh thank heaven you're okay!"

"Bit battered but still standing..." I looked at Dorchar. "What do I do about this?"

"Nothing for now. Act as though nothing happened tonight. I'll do what I can. Now, Flora, where were you?"

"I was coming outside to sleep out here but those bastards caught me and threw me in a room and locked the door...sorry about the door..."

"It's fine. Those five will have their payment, I will personally see to it." There was a vicious fire in his eyes and I almost felt sorry for my attackers...almost. "Keep a vigilant eye, Gale. This most likely will not be the first."

Flora and I saluted him and finally we were alone for the night as he roughly dragged and tossed the two out-cold dragons back to the cave. Flora stared at the caves and started when I nuzzled against her. "Flora? Something wrong?"

"No...now that you're here..."

"Close your eyes." She did and giggled as my tail brushed her mouth, and she held on lightly with her teeth as I led her through the garden.

"Ith thith uhnother womantik theen?" she asked. "Thtop a minit!" I stopped and she looked at me blindly. "Is this another romantic scene?"

"I'll let you be the judge," I replied, but she caught the humor in my voice and bit my tail again as I brushed it against her. I led her further back into the garden, ignoring the burning in my limbs from the cut and the bruising, though my neck kept jumping where the one dragon had kicked me. I heard Flora inhale through her nose and murr, and I smirked, wanting to see her reaction. When we got there, I hesitated...where would be the best place to have her sit?

"Gale?"

"Hang on...trying to find the perfect spot..." He led her to a small open area, and she sat down when he pressed gently on her hips. "Okay..."

Flora opened her eyes and Gale smiled as her jaw dropped. All around them was a sea of moonlit color and beautiful shapes as the flowers and leaves swayed in the slight breeze blowing through the valley. Flora took in a deep breath, smelling the colorful ocean around her. "Gale...this is just perfect..."

He wrapped himself around her and licked her cheek slowly, and she purred. "Perfect spot for the perfect dragoness."

Two days later, after a brutal round of training, Dorchar gave them and a few other "couples" permission to explore the nearby range after assigning Gale and Flora to a small pocket in the cliff not too far away from the cave entrance. Gale already knew the perfect spot...he'd seen it during their flight to assault the enemy. Flora followed him, and bit his tail when she felt water nearby.

"Is this another waterfall scene?"

"How'd you know?" They were close and he began descending, and Flora gasped as they broke through the cloud cover over a gorgeous green valley with at least eight waterfalls. In the waning daylight the shadows added to the spectacle, and Flora landed by Gale on a mossy shelf on the valley wall, her mouth still open as she looked around.

"Gale...how the hell do you manage to find such beautiful scenery?"

He shrugged with a grin. "Guess I'm just that good."

"I'll say..." She lay down next to him, and when he nuzzled against her cheek she rested her head on his shoulder. "You never fail to make me happy..." she whispered.

"I know something that'd make you even happier..."

"What is it?" She looked up at him and suddenly was lost in his eyes as he gazed at her.

"Mateship."

It took her a second to register, but when it did her eyes dilated. "Gale...what?"

He folded his wing over her and pressed his nose against hers. "Flora...will you be mine? Until death parts us, and even on after that?"

She stared at him, and a sly smile spread over her face. "Only if you'll be mine under those conditions." He smiled and kissed her, and they lay there in that valley together until nightfall, lost in their passion for each other.

The next morning, Gale woke up in the small cavern in the side of the cliff, and smiled as he felt Flora draped over him, peacefully sleeping. He felt her wake up, as if something inside him was becoming active, and she murred softly and nuzzled against him. He put his wing over her and she yawned and looked up at him with a sleepy smile.

"Get a good sleep?" he asked.

She pulled herself up and hugged him tightly. "Of course...how can I not when I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life?"

He smiled and she cuddled against him under his wing. "After everything we've gone through, I think we deserve a little happiness."

Flora sighed happily, closing her eyes. They just lay there with each other, watching the light slowly increase as the sun rose. Flora giggled and looked up to see Gale's eyebrow raised at her. "Y'know...now that we're mates...we can..."

His eyes widened and she laughed at the look on his face as he turned red. "Flora, we can't-"

She cut him off as she kissed him deeply. He was surprised, but the urge to pull away swiftly diminished and he slowly kissed her back, pushing his tongue into her mouth. She wrapped her tongue around his with a soft moan, then pushed it away and broke off from the kiss to look at him. "Awww...Gale, it felt soo good last time..." She pouted, opening her eyes as wide as she could and giving him an absolutely pathetic face that wrenched his insides with guilt. "Pleeease?" she whined, somehow resisting the laughter pulling at her as she looked at his expression.

Gale groaned, shaking his head, and he laughed. "Damn it, I just can't get away with a 'no' with you can I?"

She shook her head, still pouting and staring at him, and when he looked at her again she couldn't control herself and burst out laughing. "I-I'm sorry," she laughed, "it was-was just so damn funny see-seeing your face!!!" Gale started laughing with her and they lost control, laughing hysterically for no reason at all. Somehow they ended up with Gale on top of Flora, and they slowly stopped laughing and stared into each others' eyes for the longest time, waking up in the middle of a deep kiss to find their hearts racing and their minds clouding over with love. Gale pulled away a bit and Flora gazed at him with half-closed eyes, their breath coming in heavy heaves of excitement.

"You sure you wanna do this?" he whispered, feeling that uncomfortable bulge between his legs begging for release.

She leaned up and licked his nose. "We're mates now, Gale," she whispered seductively, and he shivered as her warm, sweet breath washed over him and made that bulge press even harder. "You know you want it...nothing's stopping us..."

"But last time...I was..."

She shook her head. "No, Gale, you weren't raping me. We were both tired and not thinking straight...I wanted it as much as you did...and I want it again now and I know you do too..."

He looked her in the eyes again and lost control of himself, leaning in and kissing her. He relaxed his tailbase and sighed with relief and pleasure as his penis slid out and hardened right between them. Flora moaned into the kiss as she felt it push its way between their bellies almost all the way up to her chest. She pushed Gale up and looked down her underside at his length with a naughty grin, and he gasped as she reached under him and caressed his throbbing maleness.

"Oh my gosh...that feels...soooo good..." Gale moaned as she felt his cock. He felt something wet against the back of his sheath and smelled her arousal, and his apprehension fell away from him. He looked at her again with a sly grin and backed up a bit. She craned her neck up and watched as he stood over her tail, and sighed with pleasure as he pressed his nose against her inviting opening. He breathed in deep and then blew out swiftly and she jumped with a small whine as ecstasy shot through her. The smell of her desire was overpowering and he closed his eyes and stuck his tongue out, slowly drawing it over that perfect swollen slit. The taste...it was slightly salty, but it was so sweet and fiery he wanted more and slowly pushed his tongue inside.

"Gale...what're--oooohhh..." she started and moaned as he pressed his mouth against her, sucking on her lips as his tongue explored her depths. Like a bee at a flower he indulged in her sweet juices, and through his haze he faintly heard her gasping sharply with each breath as the pleasure flowed through her. His rock-solid dragonhood, forgotten in their pleasurable bliss, was throbbing and twitching with each heavy pulse of his heart, and pre-cum was dripping from it onto Flora's tail. Her juices started flowing more easily, and Gale remembered this from their first time together and pulled away before she could orgasm. She growled and shuddered, opening her eyes with a disappointed moan. She looked down her underside and saw his throbbing meat just inches away from her, and she looked up at him with a pleading grin. He had his eyes half-closed, his mouth open a bit and his tongue hanging out as he panted, and she reached up and pulled his head to hers in a passionate kiss. She twitched as his hot precum fell onto her pleading vagina and she broke away, begging him with her eyes. This wasn't their first time together, but as they looked at each other it sure felt like it.

"Here I come," he said teasingly, and kissed her again, pushing his tongue into her mouth as he slowly thrust forward.

"Oh yes...oooooooohhhhhhhh..." Flora moaned happily as he slowly pushed into her. They looked down and watched as she spread around his cock...it was oddly arousing, just the mere sight of him entering her. Gale moaned...she was tight; it felt so good... he stepped forward a bit, his forehead against hers as he brought his sheath all the way up to her slit...he was completely inside her. "Oh Gale that feels so gooood..." she whispered, her head leaning back in sheer pleasure. He bent down and nibbled on her exposed neck and she gasped, her muscles clenching around him and making him groan. Remembering what he'd done last time, and letting his body take over, he pulled out of her and then pushed back in. They both shouted as pleasure shot through their groins through their whole bodies. He slowly sped up, wanting more, and was encouraged as Flora moaned and gasped with each thrust he made. She was still close to her climax, and Gale felt her tense up around him and she yelled as she came, bathing his member in her warm fluids. Gale's head hung over her chest as he panted, feeling her juices flow down his penis to his sheath every time he pulled out. Flora was moaning incoherently in her afterglow as he kept going; the ecstasy was unbelievable! Their previous time hadn't felt anything near this good!

Gale sped up until he was ramming himself into her, making her scream with the extreme pleasure until she grabbed his head with a yell and came again. She pulled him into a fierce kiss, and his tongue fought madly with hers in their mouths as her insides milked his cock. He couldn't take it anymore...something rose swiftly inside him, the pleasure increasing ten-fold until he roared and climaxed inside her. She gasped and had another small orgasm as his warm meat filled her with his hot, thick cum. Gale felt his member pulsing with each wave, sending tiny thrills of pleasure through him as he filled his mate with his first orgasm. He kept thrusting into Flora, getting and giving as much pleasure as he could until his member softened and retreated into his sheath, still connected to her with strands of his seed. Their tailbases were drenched with Flora's fluids, and as Gale fell onto her in exhaustion he felt a small pool between their tails. Hazy-headed and feeling pleasantly warm and content, they fell into a loving kiss as they recovered. As Gale pushed his tongue into her mouth and she did likewise, something weird but warm seemed to pass between them and they felt almost like they were trading places briefly, and then suddenly felt very warm and comfortable, feeling like they'd been combined. As suddenly as it had happened it ended, but they felt pleasantly different...almost similar, like one felt what the other did. At length Flora finally pulled away, love blazing in her lavendar eyes, and Gale just weakly smiled and ran his paw along her face.

"They're gonna kill us if we don't get out there," he whispered, but she could tell he had no inclination to move.

"Nah...I think Dorchar will understand..."

"We'll just tell him we're sick."

"But then how do you explain the smell here?"

Gale laughed and shrugged. "Not a clue."

Dorchar didn't come for them until midday, and found them doing their own self-training. "You two ready?"

"For what, sir?"

"Gale, I told you no 'sir' with me unless I'm shouting at you. AM I SHOUTING AT YOU?!"

"YOU ARE NOW SIR!!"

"Good. Now, I trust you two are ready for training?"

"Have we missed anything?"

"Nothing much, today was a relaxation day." He looked outside to see if anyone else was around, then came in closer and they drew in to hear what he had to say. "Gale, did you ever work for or hear of Ocardology, Inc.?"

Gale's eyes narrowed. "Yes...oh no..."

Dorchar nodded. "Their laboratories have been...'extended' in their usage. We're keeping an eye on things, but they're out to piss you off, Gale." His eyes fell on Flora. "I have a very bad feeling it'll be via you, Flora, you'd better be very careful. We only know about this for certain because one of the dragons here was in direct contact with Ocardology."

"Direct? How so?"

"Had an expensive mike and earphone implanted in the scales on the side of his head...he told us it was a battle-scar but it wasn't."

Well, the next two days were fairly uneventful, with the exception of several more dragons getting their asses kicked by yours truly when they tried to attack me. Dorchar came into our little hole in the wall to find us in a deep kiss.

"I'll come back later."

I broke off from Flora and she smiled at me with lidded eyes before I looked to Dorchar. "Something up?"

"I'm gonna need you two to leave. Not only to protect you, but we need someone to snoop around Ocardology's stations they're setting up at the base of the mountains. And Gale, you're the only one in our ranks we know of who has worked with them and won't return to their service."

I snorted in disgust. "Those bastards...what'll we be looking for?"

"They're supposedly looking for 'hotspots' for radioactivity, but I suspect they're looking for more than that. You'll need to edge your way down the mountain and then loop your way around to them to prevent giving them a trail to backtrack to us."

Flora sighed and leaned against me, snuggling against my side. "Guess we have no choice...but I get the feeling something's gonna happen..."

"Well, if anything does, we have spies and scouts stationed around the area, you'll be trailed but not necessarily protected. They're not keen on saving you...I've done all I can, but word is getting out about you, Gale. If you can, before nightfall would be preferable for your departure."

"What about Glairn?"

"We'll look after her, don't worry. She's got a lot of determination, strength, and skill...I can see her getting up in the ranks pretty quickly, so she doesn't have much to worry about."

"She may try to follow me if I leave."

"Yes, her stubbornness is an issue...we'll do what we can about her. She's making friends quickly here, though, so she might not miss you too much."

I couldn't help laughing. "So tonight?" I asked, looking at Flora, and she nodded against my neck.

We spent the next few hours getting ready, and as the sun set we crept out of the cave and made our way around the training grounds. By nightfall we had reached a decent area of the mountainside, but we were so worn out from climbing and holding our weight on rock walls that we sought out a protected area and sealed it off with rocks. OH DAMN...I'm an idiot...all this time I've forgotten to tell about our equipment. We weren't walking around completely bare anymore; we'd been given some rather comfy training/lounging leather armor our second day with the group, and in its pockets we now carried some lightstones that Flora could charge with her electrical breath. While Flora took our armor to the side I made sure the barrier to this cave was secure...I didn't want any of the spies or whoever to find us here. Flora lit a stone and put it atop our armor, and we traded smiles as she lay down and I curled up by her, covering her with my wing as she propped herself up against my side. Next thing I knew she fell asleep in the middle of a kiss, and I stretched and gently rolled over, grabbing her and draping her over my side. She murred in her sleep and snuggled against me as I slowly fell asleep.

Night slowly dredged on...and it brought pain...again, I was stuck in a seemingly endless tunnel of angering heat, but I felt insanely angry at something. My whole body was decked out in sharp spikes and horns and I could feel and see the air shimmer before my face with every breath. Memories I didn't know I had kept running through my head...my parents dying...my brother using himself as a shield to protect me and sacrificing himself in doing so...but that was when I was a tiny dragonling! Why was I remembering this now of all times? It felt like something was sifting through my memories...had I not been so consumed with anger I probably would've been drowning in tears...Daran's suicide, Flora's sorrow...it all hurt so badly but I felt that uncontrollable anger just constantly reaching new levels. And then...I saw something else...someone else's memories? I was seeing through someone's eyes, at any rate...I was kneeling before a huge, tornado-gray dragon seated on a gigantic stone throne, glistening with blood-red jewels and decor set in black stone chains all over his body. His eyes glowed with a vicious green light, and he looked me over humorously, saying something, but all I could do was see and not hear. The memory changed to...a young Flora? She was adorable!!! But her happy face suddenly changed to pure hatred and sorrow as she and my viewer looked over the body of an older female dragon...Suddenly everything switched again and I was back in that throneroom, fighting that huge dragon. He was slow, but insanely powerful, and suddenly flung me aside with dark magic, crushing the air out of my lungs. This time I could feel it and see it, but still not hear. Once more, my view changed, but I suddenly felt incredibly old, and everything around me looked like it was from ancient times. I don't remember enough of it make sense of what I saw...

The next morning, Flora woke up next to Gale, her head resting on his side. She sleepily smiled to herself and nuzzled against him, loving the feel of his scales against hers. Something touched her chest and she looked down to see his erection fully extended from his sheath. He was still fast asleep though, and Flora giggled naughtily.

"Gale...what'm I gonna do with you?" she whispered, shaking her head. Rolling slightly onto her side so she was facing his back end she absently played with his stiff dragonhood, amusing herself as it twitched every time she touched or flicked it. She heard him groan and he stretched on his side, pulling his hips away from her a bit but not too much. She giggled and took his member between her paws and began slowly rubbing it. Gale groaned again, but this time he had a different tone, and he started lightly thrusting into her paws. She laughed, and feeling aroused herself she put her mouth over his length. It surprised her, he was touching the back of her mouth yet she didn't even have half his length...moving her tongue around his cock she slowly began sucking on it, her paws rubbing the part she couldn't fit in her mouth. Gale was obviously really sensitive when asleep---it was only a short time later when Flora heard him groan loudly and his muscles tensed under her. She gasped and swallowed as her mouth was flooded, and she pulled off and let his throbbing member gush its load all over her, loving the heat of it on her scales. Gale's wing moved against her and she heard him weakly laugh.

"What's the big idea?"

She rolled over on him, grinning happily. "Finally got you to wake up..."

He just smirked at her, her upper body dripping with his seed. "For a female you sure like to get messy, don't you?"

She looked at him naughtily. "You bet...hope you don't mind but I was feeling a little...y'know..."

He leaned over and kissed her on the nose. "Nah...I love you, why would I mind?" He knew what she was thinking. "Go ahead, do it again if you want."

With a wide grin she kissed him, and when she pulled away strings of his cum connected her mouth to his. He licked his lips and she giggled. "Didn't know you tasted so good, did you?"

Gale suddenly grabbed her and dragged her back end towards him and she gasped in surprise. Before she could think to object he planted his muzzle on her moist sex, savoring her juices from her arousal. Flora lay against him with a pleasured moan, gladly letting him have his way with her. He could feel her slowly drawing near her climax, but even through the pleasurable miasma from him sucking and licking her, she forced herself to pull away from him. Gale growled as she jumped away, but Flora shot him a very lustful look over her shoulder as she bent down, lifting her tail and shaking her hips as she gave him a full, inviting view of her dripping undertail. Gale got the message and stood up, his rock-hard erection bobbing with each pulse of his heart, and Flora, without moving her body, flicked and rubbed her long tail against him, arousing him even more. She craned her neck and watched him slowly walk up behind her, teasing her with anticipation, and she slapped him with her tail.

"What?"

"You know what! I want you inside me!" she growled, growing very impatient.

He licked her slit again and she twitched and groaned. "Oh, I'm getting there..." he said, intentionally breathing on her tailbase. She shivered and moaned as pleasure wracked her.

"Oh yes..." she whimpered as Gale licked her again, forcing her lips apart with his tongue. He reached his head under her and stuck his tongue out as far as he could, drawing it up along her belly and over her eager sex. She groaned and pushed back, forcing her vagina against his nose and giving him an overpowering smell of her need while she herself shuddered with the pleasure. That sent Gale over the edge and he mounted her, putting his forepaws on her hips and stepping forward. Flora craned her neck and watched him enter her, and she groaned happily as waves of satisfying pleasure flowed through her. Gale moaned as her tight warm depths spread around his hot member, gripping onto him. The way they were positioned, Flora's tail was up against his shoulder, and as Gale paused, agonizing her with desire, she snaked her tail blindly between his wings and started rubbing his scales. Taking that as his cue he thrust into her and they were both hurtled into a realm of pleasure as he slowly thrust in and out of her, her delightfully warm and wet depths squeezing his meat as it in turn stretched her from inside.

"Oooh yes..." He leaned forward and kissed her as she looked over her shoulder at him, and she murred and rubbed him with her wings. After ten pleasurable minutes, Gale got an idea and smirked. Flora groaned and growled as he pulled all the way out of her, and she looked over her shoulder at him again.

"Gale?"

He just grinned and thrust back. Flora gasped as his member went into her tailhole instead. It hurt a bit, but Gale went slow and easy and Flora quickly found it very pleasurable and started moaning again. Gale groaned...her tailhole was so tight around him! Moving his tail under himself he blindly felt her underbelly as he thrust in and out of her, until she suddenly gasped loudly and tightened around his cock. Knowing he'd found his mark he used his tail to caress her dripping sex, and Flora started pushing against him, begging for more. Gale smirked and drew his tail back, pressing it against her and spreading her lips around it, and then quickly thrust it in as he pulled his hips back, starting a non-stop flood of pleasure for his mate as he alternated his tail and his cock. She cried out as her muscles spasmed, sending a powerful wave through her as her love-juices poured from her around Gale's tail. Her tailhole clenched around his cock and Gale moaned loudly and unloaded himself into her. She shivered with another pleasured moan as he filled her rear with his warm cum. She lowered her back end, unable to hold herself up any more, and Gale fell onto her back, his dragonhood still inside her, still filling her with everything he had. She looked over her shoulder, panting but very thoroughly satisfied, and Gale leaned forward and they kissed. Again, they felt like something inside them was trading places with the other, and when they looked into each others' eyes they thought they were looking into a mirror. They just lay there, Gale atop Flora's back, indulging in a loving kiss until finally Gale's member retreated into his sheath. He felt his cum follow his penis out of her, and Flora moaned as she felt a little empty without him.

"You liked that?" he asked, and she nodded with a tired but warm smile.

"It was new and very pleasurable...Gale, had I become mates with anyone else other than you, I don't think I would have allowed that."

"And why am I the special one?" he asked with a teasing grin.

"You care so much about others...and even when we're having sex you still control yourself. I trust you even more than I trust myself..."

"Well...when we're done here you'll hafta trust me with the mountain."

"Oh yeah...you used to live in the mountains for a bit." They just lay there, purring to each other as they recovered. Eventually Flora grinned and nuzzled against him. "For the record...even though that felt good, let's not make a habit of it."

"I had a feeling you'd say that," he said, and slowly stood up. Flora washed herself off with water out of nowhere, like when I'd taken her helmet off, and she reached under me and I couldn't help but grin as she repeated that trick on my crotch (that word always cracks me up). She trailed her soft tongue along my side, and as she neared my head I caught her tongue in my mouth and we purred to each other as we kissed, rubbing against each other. She started running her tail all over mine and I gently pushed her away. "Hey hey, we just finished, can't you at least wait until tonight?"

She pouted at me and rubbed her head against my neck. "I can, very easily...I just like feeling your scales, that's all..."

"We should get going or Dorchar's not gonna be happy with us." I opened the cave entrance and we stepped out, blinking back the morning sun. It was a long trek still to the bottom of the mountain, and Flora slipped on some scree a few times before we finally decided to risk it and fly. Bad idea... huge vultures spotted us. Normally, vultures wouldn't even think of attacking dragons, since we're easily three times their height, but these things were the rare kind that can pose a threat to an unaware dragon. Luckily, though, there were only two, and while Flora grappled with one and fried its nerves into nonexistance with electricity, I grabbed the other in mid-dive right out of the air with my mouth, its body continuing its descent and hitting the ground while its head fell from my jaws. Gruesome, huh? But it was a good meal...shock-broiled vulture is an acquired taste, but after the initial tongue-twinging it's addicting, kinda like wild grapes. Flora had firebreath, true, but she preferred to use it when absolutely necessary since her electric breath also had the power to ignite things. It was afternoon by the time we noticed how far down we were, but we were once again having to foot it...we were being aerially hunted. By what, we couldn't tell, which made it all the more uneasy as we carefully scaled the rock face. By nightfall we were only a quarter of the way down from the camp...see how much faster flying is? We could scale this whole mountain in less than an hour in flight, but now it was two days and we were only maybe halfway between a quarter and a third down from the campsite. Mountains are dangerous by foot.

Flora located a cave while I monitored the area for potential enemies. Something inside me felt red with anger, but I didn't have one damn clue why. I was alone with the best mate in the world, what did I have to be angry about other than the splinter in my tail from sliding into a bush? Maybe that was it...whatever, point being, we found a cave and promptly got comfortable after sealing it with moss and some ice. Flora glanced at me oddly. "Gale, something wrong?"

"No...just wishing it were an easier trek."

"Need some relief?" she asked seductively, brushing up against me. I smirked and licked her tail as she passed me, and she grinned lustfully and ducked under me, licking my sheath. The feeling of her warm tongue forcing its way into my sheath was paradise, and I let her have her way and dropped myself. I couldn't see her reaction but I heard it and felt it as she purred and ran her tongue over my penis. I started a bit when she forced her tongue into my sheath, licking the underside of my dragonhood as far back as she could reach. I'd never been touched there before and damn, did it feel good...Flora giggled as I almost instantly stiffened, and her licking me so far back made me drop my testicles from my sheath as well. She giggled again and ran her tongue around my balls, and she slowly trailed her tongue along my length and then up my chest along my neck as I stepped back over her neck. She looked at me with a half-eyed grin, her mouth open and her tongue hanging out a bit from licking me, and I grinned back and kissed her. As she pressed her mouth against mine with a moan I could feel myself purring along with her, and presently she pulled away and lay down on her back, spreading her hind legs and giving me quite a view of herself.

"You're wantin' some fun, huh?" I asked with a laugh, and started stepping over her, but I stopped as I felt her tail wrap itself around my cock. I was standing over her tail, with her vagina right under my nose, and she grinned naughtily. She got a moan from me as she rotated her tail around my penis, using the tip of her tail to play with my exposed balls.

"I'm not the only one who's gonna have fun," she said, arching her back slightly. I got the message and bent down, licking her left leg as my head drew closer to her groin. She squealed as I circled my tongue around her swollen lips, and started slowly pumping my erection. I slowly spread her clit with my tongue and looked up at her.

"Someone's really needy," I said with a grin, and pushed my tongue into her.

"Aaahhn....ahhhh...oh yes..." she moaned as I lapped at her warm sex-tunnel, and she squeezed my tongue inside her as her lust grew and she started jacking me off more rapidly.

"Nnnnnn...tighter, squeeze tighter," I moaned into her, my voice making her lips vibrate and causing her to shiver and moan happily. She squeezed her tail around my dragonhood...oh damn, it felt so good... She whimpered, arching her back and forcing her vagina against my muzzle, and I got the message and started rapidly flicking my tongue around and pressing it as hard as I could against her delicious heat. She squealed and squirmed on the floor in bliss, forgetting about my member, but she kept a tight grip on it and I started thrusting with my hips. She kept her tail still, albeit inadvertently as she enjoyed my tongue...moments later her whole body shook.

"OOOHHH YES!!" she cried out, and I put my mouth against her clit just in time and got a mouthful of her heavenly nectar. I couldn't get enough, it was so sweet and fiery, and I dug my tongue as far into her as I could to get as much of her juice as I could...the next thing I knew she was pumping me rapidly with a lustful grin, and it was too late for me to hold back. I was thrown into a realm of bliss as I ejaculated all over her, and she kept caressing my penis with her tail as I orgasmed, milking me as dry as she could get. Finally I came down from whatever heights I'd been flung to, and collapsed on her and hugged her tight, getting another happy purr. She was all wet with my semen but I didn't care...we lay there in our afterglow, just happily cuddling. If there was a law against the level of happiness one could have, we'd be incarcerated for life...and then some. At length we fell asleep with each other after Flora cleaned us off...her happy purring was the perfect lullaby for me.

If only it had lulled my dreams...again, I felt mutated, transformed, angry...vicious. But this time, there was a shadow hovering around me, feeling like it was part of me, fueling my unusual hatred and fury and giving me limitless power. What scared me the most, like all my other dreams...I liked this. I liked feeling hateful, I enjoyed brimming with anger...I loved feeling powerful. At the same time that I lavished in this, I was scared to death of myself, as if I was trapped inside another body that I had no control over yet was responsible for. It felt like my mind was at war with itself, like two sides of me were fighting with each other...and then suddenly a third power joined in, separating me from my anger, shoving the evil away. It felt familiar somehow, even though I'd never known it before,and I was suddenly engulfed in a soothing light which faded away as I realized I was staring at the cave ceiling, with Flora draped over me, still faintly purring by my ear as she dreamed. Still scared from the dream I hugged her tight and burried my face in her neck, taking comfort in her blissful ignorance called deep sleep. I had to tell her about this...but how? She couldn't do anything about it...after all, it was in my head of all places, in my mind, untouchable by anyone else...or was it? I don't know...what I did know was that I had Flora, I had life...I had love...and that was all I needed.
