A Princess's Dragoness (Work in Progress)
Story by EonaRider on SoFurry
This is a start and I'm hoping for positive feedback to help me with some errors or ideas. Also if you think you can draw Rose in her dragoness or human form do let me know!
A young girl was running around in a garden in the center of a small Castle, barely half a kilometer squared. She was laughing as she looked around for her favorite servant in her family's Castle and she found her tending to the roses, but these weren't regular ones that grow in red, yellow, white, and others. No these roses are one of her family's most treasured items. These roses glowed a soft blue light during all times. Legends say that these flowers are only able to grow where extremely powerful beast's have died or resided and if anyone tried to touch them with their bare skin suffered from a deadly poison that kills the victim in under 10 seconds. Soon after they started to appear it was discovered that very few beings could touch them without heavy protection. These people then seemed to be protective of the flowers and there have been rumor's that some actually let some of the flowers grow inside their bodies becoming a druid.
“Rose! There you are, you promised that I can help you with the Dragon Roses!” The princess said and hugged Rose from behind. Rose was about 4 years older than the princess who was 16 as of today. Rose also had red hair that reaches her rear while it cascades down her back, but currently she has it in a single ponytail behind her head. Her hair also has 3 Dragon Roses in her hair like it was growing from her head. She looked back to her princess with crimson red eyes which are quite a shock compared to her extremely pale skin, even though she spends almost all her time in the sun she never seems to darken her skin into a tan. Rose then giggled and poked the princess's nose before pulling her into her lap.
“I actually just got to them Princess Alexis, I was waiting for you to come by and learn a few tricks.” Rose said and stuck her tongue out since she was also the princess's best and only friend. Alexis giggled and then tried reaching out with her mind towards her friend's like the red haired woman showed her last time and with Joy she connected to her mind as the woman chuckled in her head.
“Not bad Princess, but you should be careful of doing this too often while you're unused to the mental communication's strain.” Rose said into her head before releasing the connection and the princess gasped for breath as she only just started yesterday and it was quite taxing to her stamina. Yet the princess smiled and quickly looked around to realize that they were alone before quickly kissing her servant in a deep kiss. The red haired woman smiled and kissed back as this was one of the few times they could express themselves.
“Careful my Princess. We don't want to get caught do we?” Rose said with a small smirk on her face. The princess nodded and then reached out towards one of the flowers in the ground and she didn't notice that all the flowers nearby leaned slightly towards her, but Rose did and smiled even more. She never told her princess and watched as a flower closed it's petals around her finger when it neared it. Alexis gasped and pulled back, but the flower actually released it's hold in the ground to go with her. It then let go and the momentum of the princess pulling her hand back shot the plant to her head where it wrapped itself around her right ear and made itself become a earring with the petals being open and tucked behind her ear. She gently reached up and rubbed it and then smiled as she realized it was wanting to come with her, which wasn't an uncommon occurrence in her world as some plants were actually “alive” and wanted to explore the world by jumping to the nearest being that had free movement to be carried around. The flowers in Rose's hair were also like that, but it was rare to get one Dragon Rose to travel, but three was impossible and yet Rose seemed to be trying to have them go to someone else... which fails every time.
“Aww, it likes you princess.” Rose giggled and kiss her cheek before several guards came running over to them, but the women realized it wasn't their men as they had AK-74u submachine guns and the princess's guards usually had M27 assault rifles. Also they had a the symbol of a rose burning in black flames on their shoulders and the side of the guns. They surrounded the two women and leveled their guns at them. Alexis hugged Rose tightly as she was scared, but Rose seemed like she was angry... very angry.
“Yield to us or we will kill you.” One of the men said and stepped closer to them with a evil grin on his face. Rose then smirked as she read his thoughts easily and stood up as he got within arm's reach of her.
“Sorry human, but you've made my lover scared...so you must die.” Rose said calmly and the roses in her hair grew so fast that Alexis could just barely make out what happened before her world went black. The roses grew till their centers were larger than a horse and the center of the flower became a large mouth with thousands upon thousands of needle sharp teeth. One of the flowers turned to the princess and shot towards her with it's mouth wide open, but it's teeth were retracted. It scooped her into it's mouth and closed her inside as it produced a powerful sleep sedative gas that knocked her out quickly. The last though that she heard was Rose's in her head.
“I love you...my princess…and I'll always be here to protect you…”
Alexis awoke with a scream of fear as she woke up inside a cocoon of vines, but couldn't remember how she got there. She did remember the plant eating her and then the vines in front of her face opened slowly as sunlight started to pour into the cocoon and she realized that the vines we're actually the stems from thousands of Dragon Roses… but they weren't from the garden. The main reason she knew that was because she was in a massive forest and hanging from a tree dozens of feet above the ground. She gulped nervously before the vines unwrapped from her and slowly lowered her to the ground. She looked at it in shock before she heard a giggle coming from beyond a few trees.
“Wow! You actually kissed princess Alexis? That's so cool! What was it like?” A woman's voice asked, but she couldn't recognize it.
“Calm down Ivy or you'll wake up the princess...and...and I'm not sure she's ready to know the real me…” Another voice said and Alexis knew that voice anywhere, but she was confused as to what that voice meant by 'the real me’ and yet she thought felt scared. Suddenly a large set of bright yellow arms grabbed her while covering her scream. She struggled to escape it, but the owner of them chuckled and held onto her tighter, making her ribs feel like they were going to break.
“Oh yummy. A human has wandered into the forest of monsters all alone. Well now, never waste a free meal!” The thing hissed in her ear and she recognized the monster holding her as a serpentine man. She closed her eyes and waited for it to kill her, but... nothing… it just held her before going limp and getting pulled away from her as she fell forward onto something soft and very warm. She was still terrified and it only got worse as the thing she was laying on lifted her into the air and then started to walk away. She started to cry and something touched her shoulder, which caused her to flinch away. Someone sighed below her and she stiffened as she realized she was on top of something else.
“I'm sorry princess... I shouldn't have brought you here…” Rose's voice said softly below her and the thing she was on started to rock gently from side to side with Rose humming a lullaby. The lullaby was working on her, but she was still scared as she whispered four words before sleep claimed her again.
“Rose...where are you?”
Alexis opened her eyes and saw that she was inside a small room. She looked down at herself and saw several dozen Dragon Roses with their stems wrapped around her softly like a blanket. A door opened to her right and she saw several elves come through it carrying large blades. She gulped nervously and saw them swinging at the Rose's stems in an attempt to cut them, but the blades just bounced off them leaving no damage to them whatsoever. One of the elves swung there blade at her head and one of the flowers shot over to catch the blade before snapping it like a twig. The elf blinked in surprise before the flower spat the blade into the elves eye, killing it instantly. Alexis started to cry and the flowers squeezed gently as if they were sorry for making her cry and she looked at the elves who were furious that one of them was killed.
“Please...get me out of here.” Alexis begged and the flowers started to move, weaving themselves into something else as their stems became red and her face was hidden in darkness. She then felt the plants moving with her inside. She felt the beginning of a asthma attack coming on, but she knew that she won't be able to take her medication since she left it in her room before going to find Rose. She felt her lungs tightening up and then she saw a Dragon Rose come from the woven vines in front of her face completely open before it latched onto her mouth and she felt something get sprayed into her mouth then into her lungs. It tasted bitter, but she recognized that bitterness as her medication! She then felt the meds kick in and her lungs returned to their full functionality as the rose pulled away from her mouth to reveal her medication as the pollen of the rose.
“Rose...you... made my... medicine from... Dragon Roses?” Alexis asked herself aloud and to her complete bewilderment the rose that just saved her nodded it's flower softly. She looked at it again as she still felt movement outside her cocoon and thought the rose only moved from the motions outside.
“Rose? Are you...are you actually a druid?” She asked and watched the flower as it's nodded and then shook its head. She gulped nervously and felt confused about what was happening, but before she got a chance to ask her question. A very familiar mind touched hers and her eyes widened in shock as she knew it was Rose.
“I am so sorry princess, but I don't know if you are going to be mad at me or not...since I'm not a human.” Rose said into her mind and Alexis could feel the sadness in her, but attempted to send loving feelings though the connection. Rose sighed and then Alexis felt the cocoon open below her before she was deposited onto a large and flat Rock. She knew it was a rock because her clothes were a little close fitting as she hated the big and poofy dresses she was forced to wear usually. Brilliant sunlight caused her to close her eyes as her cocoon released it's hold on her, releasing her to do anything she wanted.
“Rose? Where are we?” Alexis asked as she sat up and slowly opened her eyes. Her mouth then dropped open as she was mesmerized by the beautiful sight before her. She was on a rock that was on a beach of a lake that was clear as a sunny day. A waterfall was cascading over a small cliff and into one end of the lake, the spray of the waterfall was reaching out to about halfway across the lake like a soft mist. A dense forest was surrounding the whole lake and she saw also saw a pure white horse with a silver horn coming from it's forehead. The horse was gently drinking from the lake before several smaller ones came over to join it.
“Rose... this... this is beautiful…” Alexis whispered and then a gust of warm air blew past her as something large breathed out from behind her. She gulped nervously and slowly looked back over her shoulder and choked on a scream for behind her was a large red dragon The dragon was laying down behind her as it's crimson red eyes looked down at her. Alexis then saw her reflection in its pupils as she slowly moved into a sitting position. She had pure black hair that reached to her shoulders and was wavy like a ocean. Her deep blue eyes were wide open in fear as suddenly her reflection started to blur and the dragon blinked, causing tears to fall from it's eyes as Alexis just realized that it's eyes we're filled with sadness.
“I'm sorry Alexis... I didn't want you to know what I really am.” Rose's voice said in her head as the dragon looked down at the ground. The princess then noticed more details about the great beast in front of her. The dragon had rose red scales from nose to tail as its length was over 50 meters long. (164 feet.) It also had a large amount of red hair running down it's spine from the back of it's head, all the way to the tip of it's tail with Dragon Roses coming out at different intervals...like…
“Rose…” Alexis whispered and the dragon nodded as more tears fell from it's eyes and where the tears landed, dozens of red roses sprung up. The princess just stared in shock as she realized that she was in love with a dragoness...no...a Good class Dragoness! Alexis slowly stood up and realized that Rose's scales were rose petals as was her wing membrane. Her scales shifted and Alexis noticed that Rose's muscle strands were made of thousands upon thousands of vines woven together and were the same shade of red as her scales.
“Please... forgive me Alexis.” Rose begged and lowered her head until it touched the rock as tears continued to stream down her muzzle. Alexis then started to cry as well before she hugged Rose's head. Rose then sent out a pair of vines to wrap Alexis up in a gentle hug as both of them continued to cry. The princess rubbed her face on Rose's soft and warm scales as she wanted to know if this was a nightmare or a dream come true. She then felt Rose starting to transform as her body unweaved itself, before weaving back together into something smaller and very familiar. Rose soon became her human self and her “skin” actually became human as she finished transforming and had her arms around Alexis in a loving embrace.
“Please... please don't leave me... I can't lose you...Rose!” Alexis cried into Rose's chest since the redhead was a full head and a half taller than the princess in her arms. Rose lifted the Princess's chin with a vine from her hair before kissing her deeply. They held the kiss for several moments till Rose decided to let her love breath.
“Never in a million years...my lovely princess.” Rose said softly and hugged Alexis into her body again. Alexis smiled into the embrace as she now knew this was a dream come true...
