Comments and such welcome


I woke up with the sun. The light outside slowly crept in like a cat to quietly stalk the motes of dust that hung in the shafts it created. The same rays that filled my eyes, urging me to wake.

Laying as I was on Arh's belly, the slow pulsing where Arh and I were joined from the magic, I looked up to the sleeping dragon I laid against.

I wanted to look at him. To study the way his head lolled against the edge of the nest as the occasional snore peppering his breathing rumbled out of his maw, and the way his lips would curl into a snarl whenever a snore caught in his throat, to be cleared with a rumbling sigh.

I leaned my head close to hear his heart-beat. With every thump, his cock twitched. Every pulse sending small jets of his fluid inside me to render my body more suitable for the transformation, and the magic it was infused with slowly re-shaping my body bit by bit.

With every breath he took, I was lifted. Feeling myself locked to his body through force of magic, to prevent separation, and breaking of the spell.

Even his scent, which had the beginnings of a potent musk around the edge from few days since we last bathed. It was familiar to me. Warm, but raw, didn't offend. His scent drew me in in a way that I hadn't felt would be as alluring as it was, and it aroused me in a way I hadn't felt in a long time. Every sense was flooded with his presence and for the first time in my life I felt like I could let my guard down and relax.

I must have still been tired because I fell asleep without realizing. One moment I was looking at him, and the next thing I felt his hands on my back, stroking me gently and holding me close.

He coaxed me the rest of the way back to wakefulness and when I turned my half-lidded eyes to meet his gaze, I was brought the rest of the way out of sleep's grasp with a groan, a stretch, and a yawn that crashed out of me like a wave on the beach.

“Good morning, keo'vah." He said, his head propped against the edge of the nest.

“Morning." I said, running my hands along a belly as supple as ever.

“Did you sleep well?" he asked, continuing to stroke my back.

“I think so. I haven't felt like this in a while." I lazily traced a finger along the side of his belly, eliciting a shiver and twitch.

“I am glad to hear. You had me worried for a start."

“Oh?"

“Yes. You were talking in your sleep."

“I hope I didn't wake you."

He reached over and took a draft of my scent. “Do not be worried. I was already well rested by that time." He smiled as he brushed my cheek with his. “Well, now that you are awake, how do you feel on your first day of becoming a dragon?" He said, shifting his bulk in the nest, carrying me with him.

“I don't feel much different." I said, trying to bring my focus to my body. “Should I?"

“I do not believe I can answer that. We know very little about the nuances of how the ancient magics work." He paused, licked his lips, and grinned. “But unless my eyes are fooling me, you do appear to be larger now than you were when we first joined bodies."

My eyes lit up. I hadn't paid much attention to it but he did appear a slight bit smaller than I remembered. He still dwarfed me, but marginally less now.

I propped myself up so I could get a better angle. I wanted to see some of the changes to my body. And from what I could see, not much was different. But though I didn't see much, I did notice that whenever I moved, there was a very slight feeling of stiffness that erupted, and quickly faded.

It wasn't until I moved my hand along my body that I noticed some changes. Most of my skin above my hips was the same. But the area around my rear was certainly feeling different. Running my fingers along the precursors of scales underneath the skin reminded me of the first time I felt Braille, though the bumps weren't nearly as defined, or ordered.

Though exploring just above where Arh's cock was locked inside of me, I was glad I was lying against him because I felt my strength wane and my breath caught in my throat.

There was a lump. The skin felt slightly taut, and I could feel a slight heat radiating from it, but something new was there.

I was going to have a tail.

Arh's face when he saw the revelation cross mine was almost like the face of a proud father. His little one was truly on his way to becoming a dragon. And as I let that moment dwell in my mind, contemplating what my tail would look like and how it would move, the nub responded accordingly. Very slightly, and likely not because of any conscious effort on my part, but it moved.

“You appear pleased!" Arh said with a chuckle. “Are you that surprised you would be growing a tail?"

“Honestly? A little bit." His brow raised when I said that.

“I have never known a dragon that wasn't hatched without a tail. And a tail is certainly a valuable asset to have." He said with a grin as he brought his tail up to gently swat my rump. I shivered, and he seemed to get a bit more erect. As much as the magic held us together, knowing his body was reacting like it ought to caused my imagination to bubble over with thoughts of what I would like to try with him.

I gently raised my hips up wanting to see how far I could get without separating. When the cool air rushed between us I relaxed and let my body slip down and was rewarded with the pressure as his organ pushed into the sweet-spots inside me and the sense of fullness from our bodies being joined as they were.

My attentions weren't missed.

“Oh, I am glad to be able to share bodies with you in my true form." His words were soft, but filled with lustful urgence. “I enjoy the prospect of being able to sheathe myself in you fully, and without my senses dulled from my body-magic."

“You didn't seem to mind it the other day." I teased him with another raising, then lowering of my hips. His lips curled up and he showed me his pleasure with a glimpse of his teeth. “If it was so dulled, then why was I able to make you cum? Is my ass really that good?" I joked to the dragon whose grin widened and eyes narrowed.

“Mmmh, my senses were not removed. Just slightly muted." He sighed as I slipped up again, this time more insistently. “Gods above and below, you feel so good…"

I stopped for a brief moment with heated cheeks. I'd not grown used to hearing that kind of compliment. But I soon sank back down on him, feeling my guts pressed further than before.

“Go easy, little one. The process takes time." He said when he felt the tension deep inside of me. “There is no need to rush things. I am certain you will be able to accept all of what I have in due time."

“I guess. Still, you feel really nice."

Now it was his turn to blush.

Rather than tease him more, coaxing him to full mast, I laid down against his belly and sighed. I wanted to take him completely, but I was still quite small and his cock would probably go right up to my throat if I tried.

Placing his hands on my back, he held me against his belly. “To answer how I was able to reach my zenith in that form, you took all of me inside you when I locked with you."

“Why would that matter?" I asked, clearly ignorant of the differences.

“Instinct." He replied.

I still didn't understand. At least not completely. And when he noticed my confused expression, he smiled and continued.

“When a dragon locks, when their bulb is secure inside their mate, their body takes over… in a sense."

“So, when you locked with me, that orgasm was—"

“Yes, little one. That orgasm was more instinct than pleasure." I looked at him, an eye-brow cocked like a gun. He sputtered and he rushed his words to defend himself. “But I still enjoyed it… and you."

Smiling, I ran my hands along his belly to give him some comfort. “Do you think I'll be able to feel that?"

“Most likely. However… hmm. Lean up for a moment."

I obeyed, and he brought his hand down to my dick.

“Yes, I believe you may soon be able to experience something similar." His eyes looked back to me with a devilish grin. “And I may help you with that… when you are more developed."

I saw what he meant. My cock was starting to plump out at the base, and the skin was starting to look a little slicker. There were also some ridges growing around where my dick joined my body, and the flesh appeared raw and swollen like something was growing underneath it.

“I guess that's the start of my…" I said as I gazed at my phallus. “… what is it called again?"

“Your vent." He said more as a matter of fact. “When you have your true form it will keep your phallus protected and safe."

“All these changes are mind boggling." I relented. “Is this all from when you had to leave me with Aes and Eis the other day?"

“Oh? Ah, yes. When I left with Koh." He cleared his throat. “He was there to brief me on the preparations. After that I was bathed."

“I guess that's where you went when you left me." I recalled all of what went through my head at the palace during his absence.

“Yes. I was led down to a chamber in the heart of palace. It was so deep that the only light came from torches." He cleared his throat before continuing. “The chamber reeked of cleanliness. Sterile and astringent. Still, they bathed me diligently. Scrubbing me down while various members of the scholars guild chanted something. I wasn't sure what it meant, but they kept on as every speck of grime was removed from my body."

He winced at the memory.

“Truth be told, it was not the enjoyable kind of bath. But from there they brought me to the head apothecary, Roh'baghron. We did not have much time to reminisce, as this was not intended to be a social meeting."

“A friend?"

“A teacher." He corrected me, and stroked my head. “She was charged with the task of applying to my body the various unctions needed for the magic to flow into me, and the group that had been chanting during my cleaning were there to offer prayers to the gods above and below."

His expression started to slip as his eyes stared off.

“When they finished that, I was guided to a deep chamber. Black walls of stone that seemed to glimmer like starlight.

“I was not sure what I was supposed to do here as they did not say much other than to cleanse my spirit. So, I sat there for what felt like hours in the pitch black of the room. So, I simply sat there and waited. After a while I began to lose the sense of my body.

“It was strange at first. The utter silence and complete darkness had my mind wandering everywhere. I began to feel panic rise up in me. I have felt isolated and alone before, but not to this degree. And after a while, well, this is where it begins to truly veer into strange territory. I had lost the sense of knowing where my body began and ended." He idly stroked my back while recounting it. “I kept mulling over why I hadn't been told how precisely I would need to purify my spirit."

“You didn't think to ask?"

“No, little one. My mind was preoccupied at the prospect of joining with you. But after a time, a span that felt like hours, those thoughts receded and I was alone in this menacing silence."

I don't know if I would have had the courage to do what he did. I knew all too well what thoughts can brew in darkness.

“I felt trapped and in that moment I felt fear. My mind conjured up images of the ritual failing, or you running from me like I was a monster. But those feelings eventually passed and after-wards overwhelming peace descended over me."

His eyes, still on some distant horizon, started to grow softer, more tender.

“It was as if time itself had stopped. And with my mind no longer rebelling, I was able to think clearer, and more precisely, than I had ever experienced before.

“And then…" He stopped, his breathing measured. “Then? I still find it difficult to put to words because it is almost like there are no words that adequately describe what I felt. There was a quality to every moment. Every heart-beat that boomed out from my chest carried me forward. It almost felt like I had become dislodged from time itself, and the only thing keeping me from losing what little sanity I had left was this stillness that suffused every fiber of my body."

I watched as his face slowly drifted into an awestruck gape.

“Then I started to feel as if my body was drifting down like a flake of snow. Falling so slowly and gently that for a moment I believed I had given up my spirit and I was sinking down through the very ground itself, into the heart of the world.

“I had lost the ability to know how much time had passed but eventually I came to a stop."

He stopped with wide eyes.

“I felt them." He droned. “I felt the gods watching me. There was no judgment, nor malice, or even joy… I felt like an insect before them."

“Did they speak?" I asked.

“No. There were no words. I do not think there was even any communication. I could not see them like you could spy a tree. They were waiting for something, but what that was I could not say."

“This carried on for an eternity. This odd sort of… communion? No, that's not quite it. Resonance? Yes, I think that would be the most appropriate word." He sighed deeply and shivered. “I was there, in the eyes of the gods."

He took a deep breath to still his body.

“That is when things changed. I felt a pulsation all around me. Like my body was being pressed on all sides. The pressure grew, peaked, then receded to begin again." I wasn't sure if he was in distress recalling this, so I stroked and kissed his belly to assure him. He looked at me and smiled wide. “Then, I opened my eyes. Or, at least that's what it felt like… The pressure that grew in my head was like a vortex of energy just behind my eyes."

“It all ended when I felt something touch my brow. It was probably Koh or one of the scholars, though they denied it when I asked them about it. But this pressure spread out to the rest of my body."

“Then I started to see something off in the distance. A light, soft and golden." He paused, looking up to ferret more from his recollection. “No, it was not by sight. It was more like a feeling." He paused again, his muzzle scrunching up slightly. “Bah, this is difficult to put to words. I do not think I know of a language that would properly describe how I felt this light.

“Still, while I was… feeling this light, I knew the gods were waiting for something, so I focused on why I was here. That thought led me to you. And when I recalled your face, the light grew. It was almost like it recognized what I had thought and it replied in kind." He sat in silence for a few moments more. “Then you came to me."

“Me?"

“Yes, you came to me. Though I did not see you as you are now… That light off in the distance was you. I can not explain how I knew, but I knew you were there.

“I wanted to reach out. To bring you to my chest and hold you close… But the moment I recognized you in that light, something washed over, and into me.

“And just like that, the door to the chamber was flung open, filling it with the glaring light from outside. I was then guided up to the main hall where the feast was well underway."

He stroked my back and looked deep into my eyes. His golden irises glimmering with the light from outside.

“Anyway, keo'vah, that's enough of that." He said as he hunched up into me slightly, his phallus sinking deeper into my flesh. “There is a fire in my loins that is begging me to sate it with you."

“Don't go too hard." I grinned..
