Wizards and a Dragon
#6 of The Anteronian Ball (Tik Tik Collab 2019)
Every year, I do a collab project with my friends and viewers. The ideas is that the more people contribute, the more I shall also contribute. We have writers, artists, and even commissioners coming in to make a large series of interconnecting stories that will be a lot of fun to create. The last successful one was our "Tik Tik Christmas Special" Which you can read here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25927767/
This project will be ongoing throughout 2019, and at least once a month, I will post a chapter from it here on my SoFurry. Throughout November and December, the entirety of the piece will be uploaded, including the great works of many other writers and artists.

The golden-scaled dragon makes his way through the masquerade. The magic of his mask allows him to be hidden from any prying eyes, particularly of a particular stalker of his. If she had caught wind that he was here looking for someone to help her, it could put both himself and any allies he has in danger.
Of course, his training as a Knight of Love leaves him itching to spread some of it to the revelers here. There are so many who are falling into debauchery with no meaning, but even a one night stand could be made into something meaningful. Fighting his inner desire and seeking out any experts, he heads on over towards the warp to the beach. After all, some people had said there was a wizard's duel there. If he can't find anyone based on their names or appearances, he can surely find the ones who flaunted their magical skill.
He stops on his way to the portal, standing in the hall with a slacked jaw. There before him is the sight of two women, a gnome and a mouse, laying against the wall. They giggle, hands brushing over each other's bodies as they place drunken, yet tiny, kisses upon each other's faces. The dragon coughs, alerting the two women to his presence.
The gnome blearily turns her head, only to whistle at the sight of his form. She hops up, pushing the mouse off from her. "Oh, my, hello there, sir! How are you!"
The mouse squeaks and rubs her butt, pushing herself back to a standing position. "What was that about? Is that any way to treat your teach...." She tilts her head when she sees the dragon. "A dragon? You look familiar... have we met before?"
The dragon looks over his shoulder. There doesn't appear to be anyone following him. "Follow me you two. We have much to discuss."
"Oh, so you're gonna waltz up here and give me orders, huh?" says the gnome, who folds her arms over her ample chest. "Think you got what it takes to boss me around? Well, I'll have you know that I am a powerful wizard, and you are-"
"Oh, I'd love to speak in private!" says the mouse. "My name is Squeaks, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister."
He taps the mask. "It's a masquerade, miss Squeaks. But who knows, maybe we have met before, and maybe I'm disguising myself well enough?"
The gnome narrows her eyes a moment, only to snicker. "An illusion spell. This is probably some guy pretending to be a dragon. But, if he sprung for such an expensive getup, I gotta say that's commitment."
"I really could use the services of some wizards."
"Well, you know, my services don't come cheap," the gnome says, adjusting her mask. "If you want it, you're going to have to give me a little... or big, something in return."
Squeaks giggles. "Oh, yes, and I'm an alchemist. I'm sure I could help you out, as well!
"Well, I certainly hope so..." he says, ushering them out of the hall into another nearby room.
