Dragon Riders: Valiance and Serene
Valiance rested her chin on her knee as she looked out the stain glass window to see the mountain city of Nerfferant spread out before her in splendor. The glorious kingdom was situated deep in the mountains where no army could march to. Rather it was on the backs of dragons that the people came and went in Nerfferant. The young elf watched a far off beast rise with flaps of its powerful wings and soar to the other side of the endless city in mere moments, where walking would have taken most of the day. Natural springs kept them comfortable with a steady water supply, vast gardens and fields provided fruits and vegetables while the dragon riders hunted in the not far mountain forests for game daily.
Valiance had lived here since she was six years old, brought by accident when her home was attacked and fell. A dragon had grabbed a war prize for himself and the female had been holding Valiance, bringing her along for the ride when the dragon abducted them.
The dragon riders she had come to learn made their wealth by fighting battles not of their own making. When wars erupt and either side tried to hire the riders, Nerfferant send out their spies to gain information. They would learn about the conflict and if the cause was justified they agreed to aid. A group of specific riders would fly out to meet the leaders and take the payment; it was always the same elder riders who did so to keep secrecy. When the battle began they would fly in and attack the decided enemies. However their opponent was who they deem more cruel and evil, not always fighting for the side who hired them. To call on Nerfferant was a dangerously perilous gamble since they could betray if they considered you corrupt. But any army with the great flying beasts on their side always came out the victor.
There where two mysterious factors of the riders that no one outside the city could figure out. Songs and legends had various outlandish ideas of possible methods but so very few came even close to the truth she thought with a small smirk to herself in the quiet room.
How they coaxed the great beasts to allow them to mount and ride on their backs was the main mystery, for all other attempts to get near dragons always ended in brutal death. And secondly where did the riders find the rare wild creatures that hid so well. Seldom had one or two lived in the highest of mountains and a dragon babe had only been described in myths, never by sight.
The truth behind these mysteries still made Valiance shake her head in amused awe. It was the fact that the riders where all female and they went to lengths to hide this factor since it was key to their power over the creatures. When a dragon reached its maturity it went out to a field called Mirrana Clearing where their first rider would be waiting to be claimed in a ceremony called Nanairea. During Nanairea young women would wait for the dragons and while the elder riders looked on the fledgling dragons selected their first riders by having sex with them.
Mating with dragons, thought the female as she looked out over her home with wry smile once more. The idea had startled her but in her childhood innocence the girl had not understood what sex was fully. So under the teachings of riders she came to accept the idea of it and eventually viewed it as normal. But Valiance knew older females taken from raids as war trophies where disgusted and revolted by the idea. Many would kick, scream, and fight every inch of the way when they first arrived. Some took years upon years to finally accept the dragons that obtained them as their mate. Some females never did as well, forever chained in the lairs of the beast to remain prisoners to their own narrow minds and pride.
Valiance never understood completely why they fought so hard against the dragons. The animals viewed the females as their mates and took great care in preening and were considerate for their little elves. They worried when they fell sick and hunted extra food if they look a little underweight.
The dragons also took vigorous pride in their female's pregnancies and would openly enjoy showing off the round bellies that signified that they where proficient males with strong broods. Valiance had never heard of a female hatching from the single egg that the elf would give birth too. Most riders supposed that the ever rare female dragon could only produce female eggs. From what the young elf understood the females where seldom seen and they never came near Nerfferant as the scent of so many males scared them off. During the Blood ages dragons had been hunted quite viciously and the females where the main targets. A species with no females to reproduce was a doomed one after all. In that manner she supposed that both the rider and the dragon benefited from their union. The riders where given a safe life to live out and the dragons kept their species going through the elves magical ability to breed any species. There was a science to it that many people in Nerfferant argued over but Valiance herself had no skill in the sciences and so she understood little of it. What she did know was a male dragon loved its female and the riders were always fond of their mounts. They would have young and raise families together as any elf female would with a male elf. The dragons could not talk but they had the same intelligence as any elf. They displayed courage and fear like any brave or terrified elf could. Valiance had been raised to believe in this equality but she could see it plainly with her own eyes more so.
"Shouldn't you be writing?" A soft voice asked behind her and the young woman jumped and fell from her seat to the stone floor with a yelp. Blinking, she saw first worn rider boots and leather leggings leading up to a dusty green jerkin. Dark smooth skin and laughing hazel eyes looked down at her from their frame of black silky hair.
"Mica." She grumbled in a tone of disapproval as she was laughed at even as the older woman helped her stand up.
"Tona wanted me to check in on you." The notorious rider explained with a lopsided smile. Tona was Valiance's mother figure in Nerfferant. The elf had been the one who had Valiance in her arms when she was taken by the dragon, Methon as a war trophy during the battle that leveled their original home. Although they had moved her into the area meant for young girls training to be riders right away she had still visited Tona numerously and came to know her well. They where from the same land and had come to this dragon's world together and Valiance felt kinship because of that.
Mica was Methon's second female, the dragon had three in all: Regent his first rider, Mica, and then Tona herself. They lived in a harmonious lifestyle with their young sons running about their legs.
Just as the thought of hatchlings crossed Valiance's mind, the small head of a dragon babe poked out from behind his mother's back where he sat in a sling. Wide adorable eyes peered at Valiance, recognized her, and gave a chirping sound in greeting.
"Hullo, Nethran." the young elf hailed back with a smile as Mica rubbed her child's head soothingly. Regent had given birth to the rare twins, Vinsion and Morackith while Tona had a son named Kathnak.
Her teachings told Valiance that dragons with more then one female would breed all of them at the same time or close as possible to one another. There was some detailed reason for it but the impatient elf had never sat down and read it through before.
"So are you done your writings and why are you lettering anyway?" Mica interrupted her thoughts with a smirk as she picked up the half written parchment.
"I dunno, something about paying attention and listening better." Valiance replied with a shrug, she rarely knew why she was being punished these days.
"Haha, you'll have to behave soon you know, they might not let you become a rider and participate in Nanairea." The dark skinned elf warned lightly as she stroked her infant's pebbled hide gently.
"Nah, I'm not very attention giving but I've made it though all my classes well enough, I'm not stupid just easily bored." The youth replied with a cheeky grin.
"That could be reason enough." Mica combated and the young elf snorted at her.
"Please, they let you be a rider and you barely pay attention when things are on fire!" She laughed and accepted the light cuff on her shoulder from the warrior.
"True enough I suppose but still, behave!" Mica scolded as she turned and walked from the empty teaching room, one hand raised in a wave as she left. Methon was a legendary dragon and his riders where all well celebrated, Valiance considered herself lucky to know them.
Turning back to her parchment she wrote the rest of the pages out with sloppy stokes of her pen and thought more on her those she knew in the city. Various people mostly, teachers she liked and a few friends among the girls she was raised with. A normal and seemingly balanced female everyone told her but Valiance knew it was not correct. The soon to be rider should have her head in the clouds and dreams of flying on her head. But she could not, as her life was coming to one of the greatest moments she would ever know, the elf wondered about her parents.
Valiance could not recall them very well but she did remember them, a solider for a father and a sweet lady for a mother. She had her father's eyes and skin tone but also her mother's soft hair and slender figure. Had they died in the rage of the battle that claimed Valiance or had they lived on? Often she would imagine them looking for her, still struggling to find their daughter whose body was not among the dead.
"Together, though good and bad." The elf whispered to herself in the bare room. Those words she could recall her father always saying, telling her before she laid down to rest every night. Holding her chin in her palm the young female turned her focus onto her writing and pushed the heart ache away. It would never cease completely but she could make it dull down sometimes at least.
************
Walking down the halls while rubbing and rolling her sore wrist the elf made her way to the shared lairs of the fledgling dragons. Normally the place was relatively quiet but with Nanairea fast approaching them, the would-be riders where all doing their best to create bonds with dragons in order to be chosen.
Two girls were talking to one another as they cleaned out Mathrea's cave and Valiance rolled her eyes at them. Strolling by, she stopped to allow the dragon to rub his head against her affectionately and moved on to fetch the beast some freshly killed rabbits to snack on. Walking back she offered the meal up to the beast who gratefully accepted.
"Evening Val, I thought you were being punished again?" A blond named Nikka asked in good nature and Valiance shrugged in reply.
"Got it done." She said as she easily climbed on Mathrea's back, the beast allowing her to walk on his shoulders as she crouched low to flick out pieces of mud from his hide.
"Geez, you sure manage to get messy." She grumbled to the animal as he watched her.
Nikka went back to cleaning up the cave caked in mud with a short dark haired girl named Monna or something close to it; Valiance did not know either elf very well. The two had made a point to spend time with Mathrea when she was not around though and the underhanded act annoyed her. Plenty of people had already congratulated her on their bond, no one questioned that they would be rider and mount. While Valiance was very affectionate of the dragon she was also aware their friendship was just that, friendship. The young elf had always imagined there would be more to it between a rider and their dragon. Not that she expected roses and candlelight but just something....more. Rubbing the pebbled hide of the male she also noticed how laid back he was, Mathrea never got very upset or riled up. His smooth nature was ease to live with but it was also just a tad dull. Most dragon worked hard to gain the interests of their riders, not simply sitting around waiting for the rider to come to them. Some dragons waited longer then others to take mates and while everyone expected them to become united, Valiance could see him not taking a mate this season. Was it a good sign or a bad one that she would not be heart broken if he did not?
A soft hush fell over the noisy caverns and Valiance stuck her head out over Mathrea's own to see what was about. A woman with soft light hair like her own was walking through the open halls. She moved with grace and tranquility while behind her a dragon walked with equal splendor. Serene and Asmadaimas where out and about it seemed.
Valiance frowned at them, the dragon more so then the elf for she knew the beast better then anyone could guess. Asmadaimas was the son of the high rider and dragon, Eyl and Manthrais, the leaders of Nerfferant and was seen as a high noble among the people. But when she was still young and new to the kingdom Valiance had played childhood games with the dragon in a hidden garden for a few years. Once training started and Serene met the young dragon, Valiance had been left behind. Asmadaimas had no interest in playing with her or even sitting with her to watch the night sky like they had once.
Shaking her head the elf went back to cleaning Mathrea's back with calm strokes. When she had been abandoned by the regal male, the dragon under her feet had shyly befriended her. Now six years later they were great companions and would become dear mates soon enough she told herself. If Mathrea was not ready to mate this season then she would wait for him until he was. Her finger traced the curves in the beasts hide and the dragon turned its neck to peer at her with knowing eyes.
"I'm fine." She smiled with honesty and poked his nose gently, laughing when he lifted his head to let out a sneeze that caused whirlwinds to gust forward. The wind element dragon was better suited to her anyway, his calm nature would influence her own wilder ways.
************
Rolling in her cot the elf stared up at the ceiling and gave a soft huff of breath as she looked around the dead quiet room. Six bunk beds where held in the long chamber and dressers for belongings along the far wall. Valiance knew her fellow room mates well and got on fine with each one more or less. They forced them to change rooms ever year to mix and match the girls to let them know one another. In the farthest cot from her own was a soft sleeping figure that made her frown a bit. Her long hair was clean and looked perfect as it fell along her pale milky skin. Valiance knew when the girl's eyes where open; bright green would peer at her with an inner calm that rivaled freaking elders.
White hair was rare and since Valiance had it also she was often compared to Serene. Night and day, people called them as the beautiful and perfect elf would receive the adoration of those around her for being so good in her studies and obedient to her elders, while Valiance barely stayed awake though class and she felt respect was to be earned before she gave it out. More so Valiance could never keep her hair clean and it seemed more of a light faded brown shade to Serene's immaculate white. Most days Valiance would run amuck in the gardens to nap in the sun and her skin was a tanned brown shade. Common dull brown eyes gave her the gift of sight and she was grateful for them regardless of her coloration. The elf had to struggle with herself not to be annoyed with Serene, for the small soft girl had never been rude and never openly agreed with the constant comparison of the two. She would just smile tenderly and nod as she went along with whatever anyone wanted while Valiance would bite and hiss her way as she was dragged every step of the way.
Sighing, she turned from the sleeping face and stared at her ceiling once more, raising a hand she traced the drawings she had carved into the roof from sleepless nights. Valiance had been well punished for the habit but she had still managed to mark nearly every room in the training house.
Her room in her old house had been colorful with paintings her mother had done along the walls for her. The smirk of smugness on her face faded as she traced out the faint pattern of a dancing animal, like the one beside her old bedside. Her father had helped her name each animal and he would tell her their stories for bedtime tales. Staring forlorn at the old memories the female turned her head abruptly and jumped from her bunk, landing with a soft sound. Staying still for a moment to allow anyone woken to drift back to sleep, she quietly gathered her jerkin, boots and cloak before slipping out of the room. Dressing as she walked along the dead silent halls she ducked down the passage ways to the dragons' lairs. Mathrea was used to the night time visits and Valiance looked forward to the day when she could finally curl up and sleep with him every night as his mate, she liked privacy.
Moving on soft feet the female froze at a faint sound and her ears strained to find it. A few lairs down she heard it again and became curious. Bypassing the opening that would lead down to Mathrea she moved over to peer down a long twisted cave of some dragon. The beast could probably hear her but if he ignored her then she could see what was going on. Carefully she made her way down in dead silence pausing a few times when she heard the animal shift. Coming to the final turn she very carefully leaned to look into the lair of the dragon. The beast had his head bent low but Valiance could not see what it was doing until the dragon moved once more and its bulk no longer obscured her view.
Red faced, she pulled her face back and flushed hotly as another muffled female moan echoed in the cavern. Peering again Valiance took in the sight of a female elf on her back; her naked thighs held open for the beast. The dragon dipped his head and a long tongue lapped at the female making her shiver as she humped at the slimy tongue in lust. Valiance watched with wide eyes until a glimmer of something wet caught her attention. The dragon shifted once more and the dim light of a single torch reflected from the liquid dripping from its excited shaft. The phallus dangled from between his hind legs and smears of seed oozed from the tip. Her own pants felt uncomfortable and she could feel moisture coming from her slit as Valiance peered once more at the two.
Rules forbid them to do such things and if caught the girl be forbidden to attend Nanairea.
At the beginning of the year though they had watched a rider submit herself to her dragon's tongue and then take his shaft into her. Afterwards they had observed a dragon with four females, he had used each one for hours on end.
Part of their teaching to prepare them for a dragon as their mate. Each girl had been given tools to break their hymen and begin to stretch their bodies in preparation. If they wished they could take elf lovers but had to be painstakingly careful not to get with child. It was not common though since most dragons did not like females with the scents of males already on them. Valiance had followed the rules and done so taking potions like many others to help with the pain of the first time. The elf had masturbated often with the polished wood rod and considered herself adequately ready. Glancing back once more she watched the girl arch her hips to the mouth of the animal and muffle her moans with her hand. Turning back and pressing her back to the stone she hid behind, Valiance bit her lip. With a thrill of risk she undid her jerkin and lifted it out of the way. Ever so softly she began to rub herself through her leggings, tracing her nether lips as she listened to smothered cries and wet slurping sounds. Delicate fingers danced over herself as she began to place more pressure and roll her hips into the strokes of her fingers. Biting the jerkin she held in her teeth she finally slid a hand under her leggings. Looking over the rock she watched her girl grind her hips on the dragon's tongue while sticky spurts of seed left the animal's shaft. Valiance could see the swollen organ pulsing ever so softly and she shivered. Pinching her clit she moved lower and plunged three fingers into her well spread hole, fingering herself as her palm brushed her sensitive clit over and over. Gripping the stone behind her in her free hand she listened again to the vulgar sounds and peeked every now and then. Studying the show with rapt fascination until her hips began to jerk forward. Riding her hand, she clutched at the rock more firmly and felt an orgasm begin to soar from her wet thighs.
A rough nudge nearly pushed her into the opening as she stumbled and fell against the stone yanking her hand free while whirling to face whoever had caught her. Of all the beings that Valiance expected to find; a night guard, another female trainee, even Mathrea, this was the last one she thought of.
Asmadaimas peered at her with keen eyes, his nose sniffing at her aroma as he sat watching her. How the hell a dragon had snuck up on her bewildered Valiance but she felt her heart stop when the dragon that had been licking the female shifted and backed up to turn and growl at them. Another dragon in his lair was a good reason to be annoyed the elf thought as she stumbled into a run and quickly left the cave. Running as fast as she could with her belt in her hand and her leggings hanging lose, she hid around a corner and quickly did herself up properly. Looking around the edge she heard no sounds of dragons fighting and thanked the immortals above. With light footsteps she made her way hurriedly to Mathrea's lair.
Why had Asmadaimas been there? The dragon was situated far from the lair she had been spying at. Red faced she growled into her hands and entered the familiar home of Mathrea. The dragon woke easily enough and took some time to sniff her crotch. Valiance did not fight him at first but when he tried to lick at her she danced from his reach. That female might be willing to chance being a rider but Valiance was not. Mathrea followed her insistently and the elf began to see why visiting dragons after sexual practice was forbidden. Maybe she had made a mistake in assuming that the dragon would not take her. Right now he looked very interested in her groin, although few dragons would not take the time to lick and mark a female. After lapping her thighs clean the dragon would stand over her and thick spurts of sticky seed would be splattered over her body. It was a marking of dominance not the union of mates though.
Finally she left the cave but the dragon followed her. Deciding they should go for a walk where the open winds would make her scent less prominent, the female made her way to the gardens.
When she found Asmadaimas seated calmly on the cluster of rocks she liked to rest at and she frowned at the dragon furiously and was suddenly angry.
"What the hell was that about? Why where you there?" she asked the great animal with a hiss in her voice. Mathrea had been following the elf sniffing at her but now he hung back and watched the dominant male wearily. As if to mock him, Asmadaimas lowered his head to sniff at Valiance, poking her thigh with his muzzle. The elf felt no hesitation has she whapped the beast with a closed fist against the sensitive hide directly behind the horn he had on his nose. The creature jerked back in astonishment and she glared back at him.
"Leave my groin the hell alone you bastard." she growled at him with open menace.
"You made your choice a long time ago, you picked miss dainty over me back then and it stands now. You leave me alone and don't ever sniff at me again." Valiance told the dragon with a shaky voice her emotions where unwinding perplexedly and she felt out of control.
She moved to walk away but spun back to point a finger to the ground, "And this is my place." she added. "We may have sat here together as children but it's my place, I found it first and showed you. So get lost." she finished with a note on triumph even as she whirled away and stalked off, never seeing the small feet of an elf on the other side of the dragon she had yelled at.
Valiance paced back and forth at a furious rate as Mathrea watched her. The elf was near tears and then viciously angry in the next moment. Everything was not alright, why had Asmadaimas been there? Why had Mathrea not growled when the other dragon scented her? Was he not her future mate? Pausing she looked up at the dragon who watched her with calm eyes and then twisted to pace harder, her face crowded with emotions. Twisting she walked on, knowing where she was going and hoping she would not anger anyone with the late hour.
************
The female looked up to the closed doors and then whirled away from them only to turn back and stare at them some more. Whimpering in annoyance she fell into a squat and gripped her hair tightly as she hid her face in her hands. Part of her demanded she knock but everything else said she need to turn around and go back to her rooms. Mathrea had left her, going back to his home when she entered the much larger lair of a dominate elder dragon.
Groaning in frustration her mind bounced her options to flee or knock back and forth until the choice was taken from her. The door made a clicking sound and before she could run away the old wooden structure swung open. The elf with gold eyes stared at the girl on the ground with a dispassionate look. Her hair was rustled and she wore only a cotton shift over her smooth skin. Pushing a lock of messy dark hair from her face she jerked her thumb in a gesture for the girl at her doorstep to enter.
Valiance nodded her head reverently and entered quickly, pausing to pull of her boots as she tried to follow the other woman who did not pause as she walked away. Regent was the type of person you respected the second you met her. The younger elf was not sure why but she just was. All one had to do was stand in her presence and feel the calm secure air about her to experience the urge to obey the woman. When she spoke others shut up to listen to the composed assertive voice that seemed to make commands with every word. If Valiance ever wanted to be like someone it would be this natural born leader she figured.
"Tona." Regent spoke the word with such an absolute voice and it was all she needed to say for the other woman to understand the situation. They had entered the main resting chamber and the great dragon Methon was stretched out along the far wall, sleeping easily. The curve of his neck swung around by his front foot and the leg of a female who had to have been Mica was thrown carelessly over it. Valiance watched the small dragon babe sleeping on his mother would ever so slightly rise up and then sink down with her breathing. Two small babes where curled up against their father's hind leg and Regent made her way back to them, sitting down to reach for her sons and stroke them back into a fitful sleep. Tona had been resting along the ridge of her dragon's tail but she shifted and with a yawn stood up. Moving carefully with all the heavy blankets and cushions littering the floor that made up a giant bed she took her sleeping son and laid him on his father's head to sleep. The babe curled up and rested between the horns of its sire without waking. Methon opened one eye and looked at the elf as she walked away before letting his eyelid drop and close once more.
"Sorry to wake you so late." Valiance rushed out once they were in a study with the doors closed to not disturb the sleeping family.
"It's fine, what's wrong?" The older elf asked as she placed a pot over the fire to heat some water for tea.
"Nothing... everything... I'm not sure." The other replied as she lifted her legs to rest her chin on them as she perched in a worn chair.
"Start with the most important...?" Came the suggestion and Valiance had to think on what was the most significant.
"Or maybe what bothers you the most?" Was the second idea that made more sense to the confused girl.
"Asmadaimas is acting weird and Mathrea won't stand up to the great jerk and I'm scared about being a rider, what if I'm not good at it and I keep thinking about my parents lately, more so then usual and it's really bothering me. Why isn't this easy? Why do I keep thinking about them and not being a rider, what the hell? Seriously I need to focus but I can't and I don't want to fail and end up alone all my life..." the long winded rant started slowly but quickly exploded as the elf left her perch to pace around while Tona sat beside the fire and watched the water warm up.
"Is that all?" The mildly amused healer asked the trainee with a soft smile and received a glare as the younger female fell back into her seat and leaned forward, her hands running through her hair.
"I'm so lost right now Tona, and I don't know why!" She hissed out and struggled to keep her eyes from getting wet.
"Of course you are silly, your about to take a huge step in your life, you've chosen what you're going to do with your whole life and now you're about to do just that." The wiser elf explained as she lifted the pot and walked to the table to pour the steaming water into a tea pot.
"What if you're not good at it, you'll just learn until you are. If you don't like it then you'll find something else, you're still young yet Valiance." The words were so typically parental and so commonly spoken to every child and she knew that well enough. But Valiance needed to hear someone say them to her, for someone to give her that strange reassurance.
"Your parents are dear to you and of course you wonder about them, I think about my own family and sometimes even my husband as well, I often look out at the sky and I'm curious as to whether they survived and are living somewhere far off still." Tona admitted easily as she mixed sugar into the younger elves tea as she liked it and handed her the warm cup. The image of them was quite scenic and cozy and Tona suspected that was just what the scared child on the verge of adulthood before her needed right now.
"See I wonder that too, but how does one know, how would you ever find out? The attack was so long ago they must have moved away by now, to who knows where." Valiance asked and explained her own answer to herself.
"That's just it dear, we don't know and we can't find out. We all need to decide whether we want to dedicate the time to search leads and drag out every little rumor to try and find out. If it really bothers you Valiance you could look into it after you've become a rider." She offered and the other elf opened and closed her mouth once in utter surprise.
"I can...?" She asked with wide eyes and Tona smirked at the other.
"You really need to pay more attention to your studies. If you want to you can apply to seek out your family and if the city is ok with it, they'll give you access to the records of your city and all the area that took in refugees. You'd have to do some digging but you could probably track down what happened to most of the people in the area. I've never bothered to look myself but it seems like you would like to." Came the reply as Tona sipped her warm tea and Valiance nodded her head quickly astounded with this new knowledge. "Then after you've become a rider, apply. I don't see why they would deny you. As for the dragons, I wasn't aware you even knew Asmadaimas."
"Ah...it's not that...important..." The younger elf suddenly laughed with a nervous glint that made the older healer raise her brow. Sitting up Valiance quickly placed her untouched tea on the table and backed towards the door. "Don't worry about that I'll figure it out on my own and all. Thank you very much for the advice, you're really good at it." The jumpy female laughed out as she stumbled to the door and opened it carefully. "I'll let myself out." she said with a smile and made her move to slip away.
"Valiance?" Tona called and the female felt her shoulders go stiff and then drop as she stopped and turned to face the seated elf with a guilty expression.
"Yes?" She replied to the call, she had forgotten that no one knew that her and Asmadaimas had been friends once and the elf knew the riders paid close attention to the going on of the son of their leaders.
"Serene, she asks about you often, the girl seemed very curious about you for some reason." Was all Tona said as she stood and placed her finished tea down. The younger elf frowned at her with open confusion as she watched the healer approach and took her shoulder, turning her and leading her down the large hallways.
"About me?" came the slow query and Tona nodded her head as she gently pushed the girl out onto the door step.
"Good night Valiance, get some sleep dear." She offered as she closed the door curtly.
"Me?" Valiance asked the closed door with wide unblinking eyes.
Tona had made a point to tell her to rest but she doubted she could and so the young elf made her way to the dark gardens once more. It was always a quiet place that was out of the way and usually deserted. Walking with a lighter step then earlier she felt her shoulders were lifted of a great weight and was actually excited to hurry and become a rider and learn about her parents. Finally her questions could be sought out and maybe answered. Valiance knew it was unlikely she would ever see them and even if she could they might not be happy to discover her a dragon rider but just having the ability to know lifted such a weight off her heart.
Turning the corner she came to a halt and blinked at the dragon sitting calmly at the look out point still. His head was dropped in slumber and this time Valiance could see the out line of a sleeping elf beside him. Had she been their earlier? Valiance hoped not as she pondered her choices. Leaving seemed best and she began to backtrack to do so but the dragon shifted and his nostrils scented the air. Eyes slid open and he lifted his head. Serene had been leaning against him and she too awoke and turned to blink sleepily at the elf standing on the pathway.
".......evening?" Valiance finally said after a long awkward pause between the three of them.
"Evening." Serene replied with a quiet tone as she sat daintily, watching Valiance with curious eyes that compelled the other elf to explain why she was there.
"I was just walking and I was about to go." She pointed to the path to emphasize her point as she backed up a step. When she moved the dragon reacted and he stood up, shaking his joints as he moved towards the other elf with a seemingly determined stride. The loud and wild female frowned at him as he came towards her but she held her ground and let him come up to her.
"...did you want something?" The suspicious female asked in a curt voice as she crossed her arms defensively. The dragon replied by lowering his head and she narrowed her eyes, ready to give the beast a good smack if he tried to scent her. But he did not, the dragon simply bowed his head before her and it took Valiance a while to realize he was showing the signals of remorse to her.
"He's sorry, for acting improper earlier and for everything in general," Serene announced from her spot further away from the two and Valiance ducked her head, so she had been there before. "So am I. He really likes you, always curious when you walk by and ever frowning at Mathrea for being near you." The calm elf said as she kept her back to the other confused elf. Blinking at the strange confession she looked at the dragon and frowned, unsure if she wanted to accept the plea for her forgiveness. In the end though, she knew keeping grudges was bad for the soul and the elf patted the beast's head in acceptance as she walked by, moving closer to the elf looking away from her.
"Why would you be sorry? If you where here earlier then you know we knew each other; we used to play as children that's all, nothing great." Valiance reasoned as she stopped a few feet from the other pretty girl.
"But he always wanted to be near you, not me, just you." The other replied and her voice sounded strange, almost like she was weeping.
"That's not true he stays out with you twenty four-seven, everyone knows that." The curious trainee explained as she fell into a squat and moved a bit closer to the other elf. Serene was always smiling and looking so calm and wise that the other was thrown off by her strange voice and the fact she was not looking at Valiance while talking to her. Glancing back at Asmadaimas the dragon looked torn, wanting to clearly approach Serene but looking to Valiance and then hesitating to move. Staring at the dragon she looked back to the elf when a startlingly cold laugh came from her.
"He does now but before he barely even looked at me. Everyone wanted him to, though and the riders would put us together all the time, we'd sit there and stare at one another for hours. �A proper match we made,' everyone said." A soft sob announced that she was indeed crying and the other elf felt like she had been dropped into a very complex situation.
"I wanted to say we didn't but I never could, I just nodded my head and agreed, that's all I ever do, all I ever can do..." The last part held such self-detestation that Valiance moved a bit closer to the female, coming up behind her and frowning, unsure how to comfort the clearly distraught girl.
"That's not a bad thing..." She tried to say but the other shook her head to stop her from speaking.
"Don't say that �cause you know it is, you know better then anyone what it's like to say or do what you want and not be afraid to fail. Your so much stronger then I and you never have trouble with being who you want. You wouldn't understand being forced to be something else." The small elf sniffed as she wiped her runny nose, looking nothing like the lady she always seemed to portray. Valiance chuckled soft heartedly as she moved to sit beside the elf and looked out over the city.
"I'm that great huh? Never afraid to fail and strong? Sounds nice." She smirked as she glanced at the other elf.
"Please don't make fun of me. Just take Asmadaimas and leave me be." The teary eyed girl declared and looked away.
"Because he's so ready to leave." The amused female agreed looking back at the dragon who was glued to the spot, watching them both rather intensely. "Come on Serene, I'm not that great, I have fault, we all do, you shouldn't think so little of yourself, plenty of people here have more then enough high opinions of you." Valiance tried to cheer up the upset woman and craned her neck to smile up at her as Serene had her head tucked low.
"You don't understand." She whispered and the other elf smiled as she placed a warm around her shoulder like Tona would with her often.
"Then explain it to me." Came the quote of the healer whom served as her voice of reason. It was the first time Valiance had ever comforted another person and she was taking all her pointers from Tona's actions with her. But that mindset sprouted wings when the smaller elf turned in her arms and suddenly pushed her mouth against Valiance's. The very shocked and wide eyed elf stared at the other who kept her eyes tightly shut as she rested her warm mouth against the other's. Her cheeks were wet from her tears and the moisture made the other female's face more sensitive to the cool touch. Serene finally pulled back a bit and she dropped her head into the crook of Valiance's neck as she hugged the elf to her, trembling furiously. Sitting there with the young woman everyone adored curled in her lap; the stunned elf stared over at the dragon who was watching with a seemingly pleased expression. Her mouth opened to speak but Valiance could not think of anything to say just yet.
"Asmadaimas always watched you and I started to as well. After a while I began to see why he was so fascinated with you and I couldn't help myself." Was the soft confession that left Serene and made Valiance glance down at the soft hair with unsure eyes.
"Uhmmm, I'm not sure what... I..." The words were jumbled and the elf tried to grab at them desperately to form an answer.
"It's fine, I understand, I just needed you to know I guess." Serene said in such an accepting tone that it seemed like she had been expecting such a reaction. The smaller girl pulled away and moved to stand but Valiance grasped her arm in a sudden movement that made both of them blink. They stared at each other with wide eyes that showed their youth and Valiance gave a hesitant smile to the other. Serene suddenly lurched forward to hug her once more and they both fell to the grass making Valiance wince, but her smile remained.
************
The next four weeks had flown by for the elf, everything coming together in an excited buzz of anticipation even she could not deny. Valiance had been rather shocked and uncertain with Serene's sudden affections but the more rambunctious elf was not unwilling to at least try.
Tona and Mica often embraced and kissed in public, it was not uncommon to see same gender couples either.
Having the attention of someone who looked to you as a possible lover was something she enjoyed she found. Serene was sweet and shy in her attentions but she gave them all the same, taking Valiances hand when she could and hugging herself close to her as they walked. They kept their new found relationship to themselves for a long while, never really going out of their way to express it. But Serene would sit by Valiance during their classes and the two would talk as good friends would. Teachers praised them wildly, encouraging Serene to help keep Valiance in line. While the softer elf was more attentive she was not prone to being distracted occasionally. She just had the cleverness in her to not be caught. Though she did listen more and would do her best to make Valiance do so as well. After a while when they walked down the halls talking Valiance would reach out and wrap an arm around the smaller female's shoulders. The action was a bit surprising but not outright unusual so it was accepted by others.
"People would think us odd." Serene had lamented one day when Valiance had taken her hand at dinner.
"Hardly, plenty of riders have sexual relationships with the other females of their dragons." was the more wilder females answer as the sat in the garden and watched the night sky, Asmadaimas curled up beside them.
"They live as a family and they know one another very well. A dragon is a wonderful mate but they can't speak to you, they can't hold you close as an elf can. I think most riders have more then one female simply because an elf would become lonely without that companionship. That and they're randy perverts." she laughed as the other elf flushed and the dragon beside them shifted in his light sleep, as if her knew she was insulting his kind.
"It would be wonderful if we both became Asmadaimas' riders." Serene sighed out with a smile as she looked out over the city. Valiance nodded her head with a shrug as she looked to the dark skies with a bit of a sigh. The elf was happy enough with her relationship with Serene but she was still unsure of the dragon. The beast had once turned away from her, even if he was heavily pushed to do so it had still hurt like hell. Pushing away the thought she looked at the other elf with her hair dancing around her face, the wind moving through it poetically. They had been acquaintances more then friends before but with some effort on both sides Valiance had come to know Serene better. Her parents where nobles and they had three daughters and two sons. Serene was the youngest and only one to become a rider. Her family had approved of her decision to serve the kingdom. The young elf herself admitted she had always adored dragons and did not share the occasional fear the people had of the great beasts. Becoming a rider just seemed right so she had turned her learning towards it and eventually became a trainee.
For the most part Serene was actually very insecure and worried her own opinions where silly or foolish. It took a good deal of prodding before Valiance could get anything beyond facts from the girl. She liked the gardens and was unbothered by the bugs in it but she confessed she was utterly horrified by raw meat, the smell and look of it made her stomach twist apparently. The sweet elf enjoyed reading and knew countless old legends and stories. Valiance had taken interest in that and the other had recounted stories for her. More often they not they would find a quiet place in the gardens or some abandoned training room. Serene really lost herself in her tales and it was clear she liked telling them. Valiance herself just found it amusing all round and each story was unique and enthralling, never repetitive or boring. Being a friend and near lover to the other elf was something she found herself willing and readily wanting to be. The two had shared a few soft kisses and warm embraces so far. Valiance did like to goose and grope the other girl when they where alone, but more for a reaction then sexual satisfaction. Beyond that they two where still standing on that line, both looking over the edge but neither ready to jump just yet.
Sighing again Valiance sat up and stretched her limbs out before standing. Serene looked up to her in question and the other girl ran a hand through her messy hair.
"I'm gonna visit Mathrea." was her explanation as she bid the other elf goodnight before walking to the familiar caves. Valiance had not forgotten the male and still spent time with him when she could. Truth be told she usually hid from Asmadaimas behind the other male, using him as a buffer of sorts. While she had always been fond of the regal male as a child it had truly hurt her deeply when he was no longer at her side. Life had gotten busy for both of then though. Training had started for Valiance and he had been taken to learn about being a mount for battle. It was unfair of her to keep avoiding him when the male clearly wanted her attention.
Throwing ideas between guilt and annoyance around in her head she walked down the wide cave of Mathrea's home and greeted him as the dragon lifted his head and sniffed her in return.
Settling cross legged on the floor she ran her hands through her hair once and looked up at the dragon. Studying his features she noted little quirks about him and smiled sadly. The truth of the matter was clear.
"We're not mates, not really." came her quiet statement and the dragon tilted his head, watching her in his usual interest. If Asmadaimas proved himself to her or not the truth was that her and Mathrea would never be right together. Companions undoubtedly but not a rider and mount, if they went down that path Valiance was sure she would be unhappy. While she adored the dragon he was just too laid back for her and if often frustrated her. The calm nature he gave off in waves was too dull for the fire cracker of an elf.
Mathrea extended his head and gently rubbed the flair of his nostril along her temple in a soft gesture. Reaching up she hugged the side of his face and smiled to him again with resolved regret.
"I wish we could have suited better." she told him honestly but knowing she had never really felt a spark of what she could often see between elder riders and their dragon mates.
The soft moment was broke with a low rumble and the female whirled to frown at the dragon carefully treading into the cavern. Each dragon was given his own cave, the large spaces where deep in tunnels and the pathways where like a maze at times. But each and every used cave was marked with claws along the ridge of the entrance and the heavy scent of it occupant. When another dragon dared to trespass nothing good happened. Mathrea despite his calm nature stood from his laying position and let out a snarl of warning. Asmadaimas was clearly unsure and knew he had no right to be there but the male scent the air and caught sight of her once more. Seeming to resolve himself he returned the snarl with his fangs bared, his breath suddenly icy cold. The winter element, Asmadaimas could create a blast of air that would freeze all it touched. Valiance was horrified to see Mathrea rise up, his aggravation of another in his home clear. The ideal of two fighting for her attention was a romanticized notion. Nothing but dread filled her at the fear of either dragon getting hurt or worst.
Jumping from the floor she sprang around the male at the entrance and ran to find a rider for help. But as she dashed down the wide stone floor she glanced back and found Asmadaimas backing out of Mathrea's cave. With a few hisses and snarls he turned and scent the air and seeing her he again followed. Mathrea did not leave his home and it was clear to the elf what had just occurred. The royal dragon had come looking for her and had tried to challenge Mathrea for her attentions. A dominant dragon in nature won the female and that instinct still remained. But with Valiance no longer there Asmadaimas had backed off to take chase of her, Mathrea had not. It stung a little but it was what the dragon had to do really, if he decided he wanted to fight for her then everything would turn terrible. Biting her lip she watched the soft blue dragon approached her easily, coming to stand beside her, waiting to follow her wherever she went.
************
Nanairea was a festival of sorts, various shops closed, street vendors set up and decorations were placed up. More then a ritual of sex for new riders it was a step into the world of adults for them. The ceremony focused on the union for the riders but for the city any youths stepping from the classroom and into the work force were given special attentions. A light hearted atmosphere surrounded the streets and people laughed and parents proudly displayed their children made adult to friend and families. Down the long winding halls of the Riders main keep there was barely a soul. If they were not out enjoying the festivities they where down in the clearing of Mirrana. The long grass had been the very place the first rider had taken her dragon and so it was a strong tradition for all of the new riders to take their first times there. Rows of elder dragons sat along the cliffs in a uniform line as they looked over the wide field scattered with elves and dragons. Walking among the youth, elder riders moved about in lazy strides, making sure none of the over eager participants started the unions before the right time. Along the edges of the cliffs various riders sat with open cheer, looking forward to the lusty show about to be put on. Many were teachers or had sons among the young sitting in the field. Curious eyes speculated on the pairings and conversations circled who would claim who. The buzz was all though out the area and no one was above the light hearted guessing.
"One day you'll be down there, and you'll have your pick of the finest females." Mica told her son who sat perched on his mother's shoulder. The babe was more interested in eating Mica's hair then the proceedings but she laughed and cuddled her son lightly.
"It'll be years yet." Tona reminded her as she curled Kathnak under her arm securely, keeping her son close as she looked out over the field.
"So Mathrea nails Valiance and we all celebrate and then we go?" Came the lazily question form the elf seated at Tona's feet.
"Something like that Mica." The healer agreed as she smirked at Nethran's attempts to eat his mother's braid.
"It's Mathrea then?" Regent asked with a calm frown, eyeing the various dragons milling about the naked females in the field.
"I think so, maybe Asmadaimas." Came the reply that everyone with in hearing blinked at.
"Whaaa?" Mica drawled out and looked up at Tona, who shrugged in reply.
"Just a feeling." She assured them and looked back to the fields as the elder rider began to speak.
************
"Nervous?" Valiance asked the female who sat a few feet from her with her back to her in modesty.
"A little." Serene replied honestly as she looked out at all of the riders gathered to watch with apprehension.
"About the sex or seeing me naked?" The cheeky elf asked and grinned at the back of the other elf. Pulling some grass out she threw it at the pale smooth shoulders. When they had met on the field earlier the smaller elf had turned bright red and faced away from Valiance, refusing to look at her nude body until the ceremony started.
"Stop it." Serene hissed with that same red face, not daring to look behind her at the other girl but clearly picturing her lopsided grin.
Soft brushes of grass ran down her bangs and then female blinked up to see the hand dropping it over her before she felt the nude form of the girl she had secretly adored for years pressed into her.
"Valiance!" The mortified elf squeaked as she was pulled down, the tall grass hiding them easily.
"What? No ones looking." Valiance assured her as she mock looked around, winking at a few dragons who where high enough to have a clear view of the two entwined females.
"It feels strange without clothing." Came the meek explanation that made the other elf grin, shifting she turned them so they where facing on another, Serene under her.
"I kinda like it." She replied and nuzzled the side of her face against the other elfs cheek.
"And so do you." Valiance whispered into the pale ear before gently nipping the flesh, the female under her squirmed at the touch. The bolder elf pressed kisses along her neck as she nipped and sucked the smooth skin with ease. This was not the first time she had fondled Serene nor the last as she had discovered a liking for making her squirm about. During the last week before the ceremony the two had finally taken to necking and some nice heavy petting that Valiance delighted in.
"Stop it, they're starting." Came the plea from the elf under her and Valiance grinned as she ran her hands down the bared flesh of Serene's side, trailing her fingers over her hip as she pressed her own weight to the female under her.
"You pay attention and I'll just get you ready." She whispered to the other elf as she licked her neck and felt the female shiver under her and whimper in a sweet voice that the other elf did enjoy. Digging her hands under the hips of the girl she held on to Serene as she rolled them and left the shy female sitting on her hips. Wide green eyes gazed down at her, a red face flushing deeply as she drank in the sight of the nude female below her. Biting her lip she looked away and tried to pay attention to the speaker. Smiling smugly the elf under her ran her hands up and down her sides and moved her hands to cup the weight of her breasts, making the other elf grasp and try to pull them away. Dropping her hands at the other's insistence she rested one on Serene's hip while the other she put behind herself to hold herself up so she could crane her head to catch a nipple in her mouth. The pale elf above her gave a short gasp and tangled her hands in her hair as she tried to pull the other elf away. But the dark skinned female tightened her teeth around the warm flesh and the other girl could not force her free. When she stopped pulling Valiance went back to sucking the hard bud. Serene's slit was pressed against the others thigh and she could distinctly feel the moisture of the other girl.
"Valiance, please." Came the low whimper as the other held her close and then let the nipple go with a wet smack as she leaned up to kiss the other elf. Serene accepted the gesture and held Valiance's face in her hands as they exchanged a warm kiss, the meeker female jerking when the other thrust her tongue into her mouth. But Serene melted into the sensation after a moment and responded to the sexual play of Valiance's tongue against her own.
Tightening her grip on the smaller elf, Valiance lowered her into the grass and took the time to properly kiss Serene senseless before pulling back. A tiny string of saliva connected their lips as the two eyed each other with open passion. Wordlessly Valiance dropped her head to lick and nip the pale collar bone and the elf under her lifted herself into the warm breath on her skin. Shivering, she ran her hands over the tanned back of the other female. Valiance sucked at the warm skin, licking at it while watching as Serene stared at her with shy eyes. Smirking at her she winked once and slid downward, licking a nipple in passing and then kissing the pale trembling stomach before pressing a kiss on her thigh. Serene stared at her and then looked up suddenly as a shadow fell over them.
Asmadaimas stood over the two with what Valiance thought was the most smug male look she had ever seen on any face before. He sat beside the two rather politely as if to say �don't mind me, please continue'. The tanned elf grinned as she slithered back up to kiss Serene deeply on the mouth before rolling off her and looking up the dragon before them. The beast watched them for a time and when it was apparent they were not going to keep giving the male a show he lowered his head to scent them. The nose of the great animal brushed her knee and Valiance spread her thighs wide for the male to breath in her excitement. Asmadaimas exhaled and the female shivered as the hot breath rolled down her thighs and rushed over her hungry body. Pleased with her aroma the dragon dipped his head between Serene's own thighs. Still lying on her back she flushed red but allowed the dragon to breathe her in as well.
Valiance grinned as the soft pale elf beside her whimpered at the attentions of the beast but her eyes blinked when he lifted his head and turned to her once more. Asmadaimas stood up and moved closer as he dropped his head between her own spread thighs. The jaws of the creature parted and the young elf watched with wide eyes as the wet tongue slide from his mouth and brushed her thigh. Jumping at the touch, she breathed in sharply as the hot sticky saliva of the beast now marked her leg. Unable to look away she watched as the wet limb wiggled about and move towards her center. The fat slimy thing pushed against her slit as he slurped her in a long lick; making Valiance gasp out loud. Jerking under the touch she shivered as the warm drool coated her and the tongue moved over her, slithering against her body as she tried to simply breathe.
A warm hand moved over her shoulder and Valiance turned to hide her face in Serene's shoulder as the elf moved behind her, her breasts pressed into the other's back. Gripping her hand, Valiance moaned out and arched her hips in to the touch of the dragon, its tongue had a pebbled texture and it ran over her slit and sensitive clit making her gasp and shiver. Asmadaimas seemed to understand he was pleasuring the female and he move closer, his tongue pushing harder to try and force itself into the tiny hole. Valiance dug her feet in the dirt of the field and lifted her hips higher for the dragon to have access to her.
Recalling the night she had watched the trainee letting her mount do this to her secretly, she understood now why she had chanced so much for the pleasure. All of the games Valiance had played during her own self pleasure seemed like nothing to the pleasure of his touch. Arching her back, her mouth hung open as Asmadaimas' tongue finally found her slit and immediately slithered into her. Crying out, she bit her lip as the dragon moved his tongue about in trying to force more into the tight hole. Drool was running down her thighs and dripping off her backside but she could not care less.
"Immortals... ah..." she tried to speak but her words refused to form and Serene merely pressed warm kisses on her shoulder, cupping Valiance's breasts and massaging them. Turning her head the tanned elf raised an arm to hold Serene's hair as she struggled to find the other's mouth. Chuckling softly the other elf pulled back and pushed her hair out of her face and moved to kiss the other female. Their tongues danced and Valiance whimpered as Serene watched her squirm about, lost in the strange pleasure of Asmadaimas' tongue. The beast watched the two kiss, their tongues spearing into one another mouth as salvia dripped between their moist lips. Pulling his head back he moved in and lapped at the two, smearing the warm spit on their faces, the dragon clearly wanting to get in on the making out. Valiance allowed him to push his tongue into her mouth and she sucked on the texture as Serene pressed kisses in the sensitive places along the male's face, rubbing his scales soothingly. The dragon pulled back and long stands of saliva hung from Valiance mouth as she stared at the beast with half lidded eyes, her body humming with pleasure as she felt the warm slippery liquid coat her body. Serene wasted no time in kissing the other elf again and she eagerly licked and lapped at the spit of their male. The shy female from before seeming to vanish in the act of their first mating.
Asmadaimas shifted and moved about suddenly and the two looked up to him. Serene took in a breath was she saw the long shaft of the dragon dangling under him, white gobs of pre seed hanging from it has he moved about, sniffing at Valiance with obvious desire.
"He wants to mount you." Serene whispered and the other elf shivered as she stared at the cock of the dragon. The skin was smooth but thin and she could see the veins under it pulsing with blood. Along the top ridge was a series of bumps and the base had what looked like a thick knot. Every dragon was different from the next and their shafts were also unique. Valiance bit her lip as she realized Asmadaimas had every intention of shoving that thing right into her. It was at least three inches wide and four inches longer then the practice rods she masturbated with.
"I'm not sure I can take that." She whispered and Serene hugged her shoulder.
"Of course you can, we both will." The elf assured her and she glanced at the green eyes of the softer elf as she smiled.
"You should be his first." Valiance said, trying to lead the other female closer but she remained. The first rider was considered the highest honor and the dragons most prized female. Serene however shook her head as she sat beside her.
"You knew him long before I and he's made his choice, don't fight that." she implored with another warm smile, not the slightest hint of disappointment in her features.
Asmadaimas nuzzled at Valiance's side wanting her to roll over for him. Gulping once she obeyed and rolled on to her hands and knees as the dragon shifted about beside her. The beast reached back and took Serene's arm gently in its jaw, leading her away. The small elf followed the creatures lead and she gave a soft cry of surprise when he let go and nudged her once hard. Falling back, her rump hit the dirt and the dragon's head pushed her thighs apart. Understanding what he wanted, she spread herself for the male to have access to her slit. Pleased with her arrangement he shuffled about and moved to make sure Valiance played her part as well.
"Seems like he's got it all planned out." The tanned elf laughed weakly as she was nudged and positioned on her hands and knees with her rump held high for the dragon. Asmadaimas sniffed her rump, his tongue licked her once in along swipe that made her gasp out before he moved above her. Gripping the earth tightly she looked up at Serene, who smiled encouragingly and the elf flushed when the cock of the dragon poked her backside. The thick meat of the beast rubbed against her skin and she shivered at how hot it was. The tip was drooling out pre seed and she could feel the very warm liquid running down her thigh. It was hot and she knew it would make her jump when he spurted her body full of it. But despite the scalding sensations, the seed would not actually hurt her in anyway; her insides where simply more sensitive to the heat of the beast.
Asmadaimas moved over her again and the dragon's hind legs lowered as he squatted and began to hump at her, seeking that wet hole. His cock slapped the inside of her leg as he slid too low and the dick bobbed between her spread limbs, brushing her thighs at is spurted warm spunk on the ground below her. Dropping her head, she gazed along her own form and watched the wide head of the shaft bounce about while trying to find her channel. The elf felt a sort of empowering sensation as she realized he would not be able to gain access to her without some help. Reaching back a hand she rubbed the underside of the shaft and the dragon panted above her, shifting closer and thrusting more wildly as he felt her palm run along the underside of his cock. Warm seed shot from the tip and it had enough force to reach her face, hitting her cheek as she blinked. The spunk spattered on her skin and ran down along her lips as she tasted it warily. The mixture was strange and salty sweet, not a bad taste but nothing she could place. The elf would have time to taste him better later she decided as she gently pushed the jutting rod up against her wet snatch. Asmadaimas again moved with more vigor as he felt her warm skin along the top of his member as well. The smooth skin of the animal's shaft rubbed against her own warm slit and Valiance gasped out as it caused a sweet friction over her clit. Digging her fingers into the earth she kept the male there, letting him hump at her as his cock stimulated her and her own hips quivered and rolled against the hot meat.
"You're teasing him." Serene called as she watched the two with wide, fascinated eyes.
"I am." The kneeling elf agreed as she gasped out with pleasure, raising her face to look at the other elf as warm semen trailed down her cheek.
"Don't be so mean, let him have you." The pale elf requested of the other and Valiance smirked, even, as she looked back to the shaft thrusting against her. Letting it go she leaned forward so the head of the cock would be near her slit and she reached back to lift the fat thing to her opening. Clutching the dirt under her she tried to relax herself as she let the tip push at her parted nether lips and the dragon above her went still. The thick meat of the beast rested at her hole for a few endless seconds and then he shifted dropping his hips low and spearing her in one hard long thrust. Valiance screamed out and tried to crawl away from the intrusion but Asmadaimas pushed a front arm back and his claws rested on her shoulder as he struggled to shove her back on the too hot prick spreading her wide.
Whimpering she trembled as the dragon held her in place, letting the thick phallus in her twitch and throb as pre seed kept spurting from the head. The elf twitched every time it splashed into her insides and she struggled to breathe as her body adjusted to being so utterly filled. The tools she had used had not been too much smaller and it was not so much pain as much as discomfort running through her. Asmadaimas moved and dropped his front leg down as he swung above her. Carefully he slid back a few inches and then slid back home, testing the sweet hole and watching as Valiance moaned out, her body arching as her back and shoulders rubbed his scaled under belly. When he was sure the little elf under him was not in pain, the beast began to shove at her. With rough movements he pushed her to the earth and rutted her small hole with his shaft. The cock in her was so much hotter then her own body temperature and she felt every inch of it, shivering as seed kept coming from the tip and filling her.
Valiance slumped as she rested her torso on the dirt but kept her ass held high for her mate's pleasure. Looking past the forearms of the beast she saw Serene on the ground, her body trembling as the head of the dragon pounding her rested between her thighs.
Valiance grit her teeth as the animal above her continued to fuck its new rider harshly. Her body was sweating as she struggled to do anything more then just lay there. Pushing herself to her hands once more she began to shove back at the beast and was rewarded with even harder slams into her body. The feral animal hammered into her and he used his bulk to push her back down in a dominating gesture. The male was mounting her, not the other way around. Claws dug into the ground to give him more leverage as he began to use his weight to lunge into the hot snatch of the little elf under him. The dragon was repaid for his efforts with the loud cries of the female under him, her body over taking her as she felt every shove.
The normally cheeky and bold elf could do little more then whimper and gasp for air as the dragon rode her roughly, dominating her as he took her body. Asmadaimas was showing her in that very moment that while the elves would ride and direct the dragons in battle; it did not make them the owners of the beasts. Crying out she shivered and felt the hot jabs of the animal's cock leaving burning semen in its wake. Every time he pulled back hot gobs of the spunk came out and ran down her body. Her backside and thighs where coated in it and she could feel it beginning to run down her back as well.
Wet vulgar sounds filled the air as the cries of various females rose around her. The ceremony was in full swing now and all around her other elves where being pounded just a hard, forcefully dominated and claimed by the beast they would live with until their deaths.
Serene gasped out loudly and Valiance looked up to see the tongue that had lapped her was buried deeply in the small hole of the other pale haired elf. Above her the dragon shifted and he pushed down on Valiance suddenly and the elf struggled to breathe as he pushed her body into the dirt with her thighs spread out wide. Gasping, she screamed out when the dragon unleashed a flood of cum in her womb. Fully sheathed he yanked his head back and roared out once while her body jerked as she climaxed amidst the endless semen jetting into her with brutal force. It was far too searing and she cried out as it kept coming, pumping into her as the fat bulb at the base of its shaft kept the liquid from seeping out. Valiance laid beneath the beast as it let up a little, giving her room to breathe as she felt her stomach budging slightly from the sheer amount of dragon semen in her. The two seemed dazed as their high slowly began to slip and elf and dragon worked to drag air into their lungs amiss the harsh panting.
Asmadaimas seemed done with her finally and she felt him lift up high, her body going with him. Gripping at the dirt once more, her thighs trembled as he lifted himself higher and her backside dragged up until he lifted her knees from the ground. Finally though, his knot came free with a slurping sound and the elf felt hot spunk splash out her as she fell to the ground dazed. Laying there she still gasped for air as her body felt so deliriously tired and utterly used.
Serene stumbled as the dragon pushed at her with its snout, she crawled to where the other elf laid looking barely conscious. The tanned female was covered in saliva and steaming seed as bits of dirt and grass clung to her sweat soaked skin.
"Valiance....?" the meek female asked with wide eyes she moved closer to her. Asmadaimas carefully moved the marked elf, pushing her onto her back with gentle ease. Valiance let the claws shift her and watched as the dragon nudged Serene to kneel over her on her hands and knees. The pale elf looked at her with scared eyes as the dragon moved over her, eager to mate its second rider.
"Are you ok...?" Serene asked and Valiance managed to nod weakly. The small elf whimpered as the wet shaft of the dragon began to nudge at her thigh, seeking her tight hole.
"Does it hurt terribly?" Came the frightened question and the overcome elf managed a weak smirk and shook her head in negative. Reaching up she pushed her mouth against the others and the elf above her responded to the kiss desperately. Clinging to the other female to mask her fears as the male above humped at her, wanting to spear her just as he had the other elf.
Still kissing the small scared female Valiance reached between them and found the thrusting prick that had just abused her so roughly. With her other hand she rubbed Serene's wet snatch and parted her lips. The elf responded by breaking the kiss and hiding her face in Valiance's shoulder, caking herself in the seed and saliva that was smeared all over the tanned elf.
"It'll be fine... here it comes." She whispered to the trembling female above her as she led Asmadaimas' still throbbing meat to the drooling hole of the sweet elf. "Hold on to me." She offered and the female's fingers bit into her arm as she nodded her head.
Asmadaimas shifted and moved above them until the tip of his cock was pushed against Serene's opening. The dragon growled as he moved forward even more, pushing into the warm cavern eagerly. Serene tried to crawl forward when the shaft began to sink into her but Valiance held her in place as the animal above them slid home with a more gentle thrust then his first mounting. He sheathed himself in a single movement still but took more time to stretch the fragile elf out.
"Oh... immortals..." Serene hissed in Valiance's ear as her nails dug into the other's arms as the beast finally finished hilting the snug hole completely. Again the dragon waited for a time, slithering its long neck to watch the two elves, looking for the signs of pain from Serene before he pulled back a bit and pushed back into her with more force. Serene whimpered as he began to move above her with more ease then he showed Valiance but less care then his previous thrusts. Rather then losing his mind to the feral lusts the male was showing a unique restraint as he carefully worked her walls, allowing Serene a bit of time to adjust herself to the sensations before he began to truly mate with her.
But the beast was soon beginning to feel the urges of his basic instincts and the thrusts grew in power and speed. The elf above Valiance was jerked back and forth as Asmadaimas began to ride her now with the same careless strokes he had used on Valiance. The meeker elf looked no better then she had either, her mouth hung open as she simply struggled to breathe while being viciously claimed. Lying under her, Valiance watched as Serene was plowed by that thick shaft, her body lunging every time he thrust deep and then yanked back as he pulled back only to slam forward again.
Asmadaimas rode her as she whimpered and cried out, her eyes staring at Valiance as she was fucked. The two watched one another in that moment as they shared a sweet second before reality came back as Serene screamed out, the dragon pushing her down to the earth, forcing her body snugly against Valiance as the dragon grinded into her. Wrapping her arms around the other female the two help on tightly as Serene kept gasping and spasming.
The dragon above her took physical pleasure when the small hole went tighter even, constricting on his shaft as he pushed at her. But when he had a hard time sinking deep; he simply put more force into it, making Serene gasp out. When the fat dick was deep enough that the bulbous end of his cock rubbed her nether lips he squatted lower and sank it into her with a second roar of dominance.
Serene pulled back from Valiance's shoulder and kissed the other elf, her lips parted so her tongue could snake deep. The two sharing spit as her womb was suddenly being filled by the too hot spunk. Breaking the kiss she shut her eyes and bit her lip as the burning sensations ripped through her, so very close to pain.
Valiance could feel the other's belly growing warmer and then budging even as Asmadaimas marked his second female. The small elf seemed to lose her will as she slumped against Valiance lifelessly and dragged air into her lungs.
"Is it hot?" Valiance asked and the elf on top of her shivered.
"Terribly." Came the gasp in reply with a shudder to accompany it.
"Feels good though, right?" She countered and smirked into Serene's neck as the other female found her hand and entwined their fingers without answering. Asmadaimas shifted once more but he did not try to pull free from Serene and so the three stayed like that.
After a long time of lying in the dirt with a naked slimy elf on her, Valiance actually began to doze lightly. Serene gave a sudden gasp and her body jerked, waking Valiance. Before she could question the other a hot splash of seed hit her hips and thighs signaling Asmadaimas had pulled free. The dragon stepped away and turned to inspect them, sniffing at the two covered in his warm thick semen. Serene slid off the other female and laid beside her, the two curled up as the animal nudged at their legs and inspected the two carefully.
"Yes, yes, good job now stop it." Valiance grumbled as she kicked tiredly at the male shuffling around them.
The male stood above them, lifting his great head to observe the open fields as if to make sure other knew of what he had just done, whom he had just claimed. Finally after a few more long looks around him the male sat and then moved to lie down easily beside them and rest his head, pleased with his catch and sure no one was going to try and steal them.
Curled up covered in sticky fluids with a beautiful elf and a well respected dragon watching over them was not how Valiance had imagined she would end up on the day of the ceremony. For years she expected a simple union with Methrea and maybe a new friendship with any second female he chose.
Throwing her leg over Serene suddenly, she chuckled as they cuddled close and the world seemed so much more interesting and less looming.
