The alarm bell rang, Waking both Sasha and Alenia up. Two werewolf guards stood at Sasha's cave entrance.

“All halflings must make their way to keep. Alenia is wounded, she must come with us", lichen, elf, dwarf and dragon alike", one werewolf said.

“Go with Aunt Alenia, children. They'll keep you safe. You get to go play with her offspring for the day", Sasha said to Gael and Solas Na Geali.

Sasha regurgitated James.

Half asleep, James moaned, “What's the rush".

“Get your armor on James, whatever it is, we are either under attack, or going to be under attack. Offspring are on their way to the keep, Alenia is with them", Sasha said.

James slowly got to his feet, and moved for his clothes and armor. “Always something", James mumbled.

“Just like the good times, James. This time, don't get shot", Sasha said.

“Yah, don't get shot... Dodging suppersonic bullets is so easy", James sarcastically said as he finished putting on his armor.

“Get on, James", Sasha bade.

James climbed on. Sasha noticed James wasn't completely woken up as he was still groggy from sleep. Sasha launched in the air with all her might and speed. James gripped her neck as hard as he could, he felt the wind blowing against him with incredible speed.

Sasha slowed down and leveled out.

“What was that about?" James asked.

“Nothing will wake you like a good dose of adrenalin. Do not forget, you're on the back of the fastest dragon in the clan", Sasha said.

James and Sasha made way to the city entrance. James and Sasha's eyes widened.

Tens of thousands of elves surrounded the entire city.

“Fffuuuuuccckkk... We can fight this and win", James said.

“No, we cannot. This army dwarfs the drow army we fought", Sasha admitted.

A guardsman approaches Sasha. “Alenia's wounds from the tavern haven't healed completely she is in the keep. Sasha, you're in charge. What is your orders?" The guardsman asked.

“Bring anyone capable of wielding weapons. Start a draft, any elf or dwarf at puberty age too. If they are not crippled or wounded, they fight if we are attacked", Sasha said.

The guardsman bowed and left to do as Sasha commanded.

“Anyone at puberty age? Sasha, they're not even adults", James replied.

“Drastic times, drastic measures", she said as she sighed.

A very tall, burley elf approached the front of the city.

“I can level your city, and your clan if it where my intensions! Will someone come down and hear my terms? Or will you fight? Clan leaders! One of you approach me!", The elf said.

“Should of known, it's Mannan Mac Lir", Sasha said.

“Let's go down and hear his terms then. Maybe it's a good way to avoid a fight like this", James said.

“We really should let Alestir handle it", Sasha said.

A few moments passed.

“Now is a good time or I lay siege to your city!" Mannan Mac Lir said.

“Break rank now, jail later. At least the clan won't kill us for it", James said.

“Good point", Sasha replied.

“Watch yourself, James. Make sure no one is trying to trick us. Keep your rifle ready", Sasha said.

Sasha then flew and landed in front of Mannan Mac Lir. The king of the Sidhe.

Mannan Mac Lir drew his sword, notoriously called Answer. “I said only one!" He screamed as he looked at James.

James had his rifle trained on Mac Lir for drawing his sword.

“You have your steward with you. It's only fair I have a partner with me, is it not?" Sasha asked.

“Fair enough, lower your weapon human. I won't give terms if you keep it pointed at me", Mac Lir answered.

James lowered his rifle, then looked around for any solders that may be around them.

“I am Pash Eh An, the last of the Draig Tiene. I am one of the Clan leaders.

We've done nothing to warrant this. What is your intent here?" Sasha asked.

“The last of the Draig Tiene, and a pure blooded one at that. You are indeed a very impressive breed Pash Eh An", Mac Lir said.

“If you attack, I cannot promise To take all at once on. But I can promise you'll be my first target", Sasha said.

James's heart dropped at Sasha's words that could escilate the situation. He quickly recalled his last encounter with Mac Lir.

And remembered Mac Lir still had a request for passing his banquet trick.

“Hey! Asshole", James screamed.

“James! Get on my back!" Sasha said as James leaped off and stood between Sasha and the King of Sidhe.

“It was twenty five surface world years ago. Time being so different in the otherworld, who knows how long ago it really was. Do you remember the young boy who passed your little banquet test? He only asked for normal parents, a normal childhood, and to be happy?" James asked.

The question confused Mannan Mac Lir. He thought for a moment.

“I do", he said as he recalled.

“I am him, it was an impossible request for passing. You could not do it. But, that boy found his happiness. Pash Eh An took me to the otherworld. We are mates, and we have offspring.

And you're the one threatening to burn it all down! My request unfulfilled, yet Pash Eh An found me, took me under her wing, mates with me, bore offspring, giving me an absolute unconditional love! She completed me. Her and our offspring are my happiness! And if you threaten to take it away, you'll be going against your own ways! Give me a reason not to put an iron bullet right in your throat. It'll be my pleasure to watch you drown in your own blood!", James screamed in anger.

Mannan Mac Lir sheathed his sword. A look of shame and guilt came over his face.

“Come here, James. It's not you or your family we want. It's the human who slain my only dragon friend", Mac Lir Said.

“Slain? No, I did not slay him! He came here, got drunk and hostile! He nearly killed both me and my friend, Alenia! If you saw how drunk and insane the liquor made him? You'd know there was no other way! I specifically called in Alenia for backup! I specifically had her deal with him to take him in and book him, alive! He had his jaws around Alenia's neck! She couldn't breathe! She was dying!" James screamed at Mannan Mac Lir.

“So it was you who killed him. This makes it a problem, human. I cannot leave empty handed. However, I have a proposition for you. You keep your family and your life this way. Your mate as well actually. A dragon for a dragon. It's fair... What say you? You, your family, and your mate shall join me. Pash Eh An will make an excellent addition in my service. I assure all of you will live comfortable lives", Mac Lir Said.

“That's not my request, Mannan Mac Lir! You asked if I wished anything of you for passing your trick. You could not grant it. This means you still owe me! And you can grant this request! Turn around, leave! Do not come back! The clan and the city, is to be completely untouched, no one is to come with you!" James screamed as his blood began to boil in rage.

Mannan Mac Lir realized he must grant the request. James turned the tides of what fairness is against Mac Lir.

Mannan Mac Lir looked at his steward.

“We take our leave, consider your request fulfilled", Mannan Mac Lir said.

Sasha had a look of shock.

“You did it!" She screamed.

James wrapped his arms around Sasha's neck and held her tight.

“I thought we where all dead for sure", James said as he tried to hold back his tears.

“Ok, let's go home. You crying in front of the gods and everybody would be pretty embarrassing. And I must grant the hero a special treat", Sasha said.

“What are the Draig Tiene?" James asked.

“An extremely powerful breed of dragon. Some say our powers made us a threat to even a god", Sasha said.

“Can I rest in your throat. I feel like collapsing. I've never been this stressed", James said.

“Sasha, it's me supposed to speak to Mac Lir. Breaking rank is illegal" Alestir said as he approached James and Sasha.

“Sasha, why did you speak to Mac Lir?" Alestir said.

“I broke rank as well, Alestir. Mannan Mac Lir had an unsettled debt with me. He's leaving as we speak", James said.

“Give me a reason not to have you both arrested. One wrong word, one wrong move and we all would have been in grave danger", Alestir said.

“If it was you who spoke to him, we'd either be at war", James said.

“James, shut up", Sasha said.

“Do not disrespect the head of the leaders, Human", Alestir said.

“Do not scold the human that just saved every single life by stopping all out war from happening", James said.

“Guards seize them both", Alestir said.

“Oh that's it!", James screamed as he walked in a hostile manner towards Alestir.

“You, motherfucker strutting and throwing your weight around once the danger is over, I won't put up with that bitch ass behavior!

Put on your ring so we are equal size! We can fight fairly right here! Right now. I'm sick of your bitching because of policy or legal issues on operation!" James screamed as he took off his armored glove and threw it at Alestir's feet.

“That's unfair and untrue. I as always lead the crippled, the children, and the wounded to the keep in these situations!" Alestir said.

“Countless times! Countless times Alestir! I've calmed Sasha down, once she had an emotional breakdown because you had to go through so called protocol to ensure so wasn't a spy. I've always been patient with you, and humble. Now maybe I should take a second and stand to you, so you get the message! Enough is enough! You're the ambassador, the spokesman for the clan! You should have spoken to Mannan Mac Lir when he demanded a leader to speak to him. Your ass is chapped because it wasn't you who spoke to him according to policy am I right? I understand you have two jobs and can't do both at once! Since you where occupied, Sasha and I covered you. Now you want me and Sasha arrested because I broke a bullshit policy? Have you heard that it's sometime a good thing to let shit slide? But no... I see right through you. You honestly think we are doing this to somehow be a threat to you? Well now I am! That's it! Pick up the fucking glove, motherfucker!" James screamed in anger.

“James" Sasha said.

“Sasha, not now! I'm sick of this shit!" James screamed.

“James, are you challenging me for my position?" Alestir said.

“You're damn right I am! You're not leading! A good leader knows laws are sometimes meant to be broken when lives are in danger. Pick up the glove, you pussy!" James screamed.

“I'm a dragon, you're a human". Alestir said.

“I don't give a fuck! Pick up the fucking glove! Now!" James said.

“I don't want to fight, I don't want to hurt you", Alestir said.

“Well I really want to hurt you! Pick up the glove or loose your position among the leaders for turning down the challenge!" James screamed.

“So you intend to pull rank from me? This I won't allow. Especially coming from a human", Alestir said as be became agitated.

“You really are going this route, are you sure you want to pull rank on a leader? We are leaders for a reason, James", Sasha said.

“Yes I am! His power has gotten to his head!" James said.

“Another leader must be present to witness the duel", Alestir said.

“Sasha is right here! Stop trying to find a excuse to procrastinate!" James screamed.

Sasha sat there, seemingly amused by James calling Alestir out in front of the other guards. Alestir sighed and picked up the glove. He lifted the glove and then handed it to James. “I'll get my ring, that way we can have a fair fight. It's a member's right to duel a leader if they so choose", Alestir said.

“You've become quite hostile towards Alestir, have you?" Sasha said.

“No, I'm just done being patient with policy and rules, and the way shit is done. I am angry that he is actually going to arrest us for breaking our own rules to prevent war. However, I have no grudge against Alestir himself. It's his by the book mindset that pissed me off", James said.

“And now you feel my frustrations. Remember James, I've been trying to get that through his head for ages. However he is a very honorable individual. I still respect him. Sasha said.

“Well, him trying to arrest us is going too far", James said.

“I think you've picked a fight you won't win. Clan leaders get questioned and face off in a duel time to time. But it has always been dragon on dragon matches. Alestir has been in several duels", Sasha said.

“Time to give him a learning curve", James said.

Sasha had a look of skepticism...

“I think it's you who will learn a thing or two. Humans have no claws, no teeth comparable to ours, and no tail. Humans just aren't physically capable of fighting with the ferocity we are capable of. Even a dragon with a ring to shrink them to equal size may give you a slight chance, but the odds are severely stacked against you", Sasha said as she tried to reason with James.

Alestir came back, he was quite small. His head only stood as high as James's chest.

“I'm ready when you are, Human", Alestir said.

James figured by weight, him and Alestir are of equal match.

“Mind the tail, and mind his head. Don't let him whip you, don't let him bite you. Give me your guns, and your knife. Those weapons aren't legal to use, you must fight him unarmed", Sasha said.

James took out his revolver and placed it on the ground in front of Sasha. He then placed his rifle and knife on the ground as well.

“Get him, tiger", Sasha said and hgave James a loving lick on his cheek.

James walked up to Alestir.

“Sasha, speak for the duel", Alestir said.

“James, by all member rights, every member has the right to challenge a leader in a duel in attempt to pull rank from a leader. If a member wins, he takes the leader's position. Is this your intention?" Sasha asked.

“Yes, it is my intent", James said.

“Alestir, you're the leader defending your position. As witness to this duel, I will fairly judge the fight. In accordance to law, James is not to cause lethal injury to you, you are not to cause lethal injury to him.

Ready? Fight!" Sasha said.

Alestir snarled and leaped on top of James. James got his foot under Alestir's stomach and kicked Alestir off of him. James covered a scratch on his side and winced in pain.

James got up and Alestir whipped his tail at James.

James dodged the blow from the tail. Alestir leaped for James again.

James stepped to the side and grabbed Alestir's horns. James took Alestir to the ground by turning Alestir's head so Alestir was off center, causing Alestir to fall on his side.

James kept his hold on Alestir's horns and wrapped his legs around Alestir's neck. Alestir began to use his wings. He began beating James's head with his wings. The bones of his wings felt like someone pounding on his head. James fought through the pain and kept his focus on the fight.

“Dragons aren't used to wrestling. Control of the head is in turn, control of the body", James thought.

“No, most dragons aren't used to that, you have his head, which means you control his body now. Keep him there!" Sasha thought back to James.

The werewolf guards began howling, and routing for James's rebellion.

James shifted his legs from Alestir's neck and James managed to get his legs under Alestir's wings and his feet on Alestir's back.

Alestir paused, thinking of his next move. James pulled his wings sideways with his legs, causing his wings to shift in an unnatural position. Alestir hissed in the discomfort and began to thrash around.

James forced his wings in the unnatural position harder and he dislocated Alestir's wings.

Alestir roared and he rolled violently with James on top of him. James hung on to Alestir with all his might. But a feral creature fights with a ferocity that humans are incapable of. The intense rolling caused James to slip sideways.

Seizing the opportunity, Alestir bit James's shoulder. James screamed in agony. James was stunned from the crippling pain he felt.

Alestir got up with James's shoulder still in his jaws. Alestir violently thrashed James around. James screamed in pain.

James managed to shift his legs to get his legs around Alestir's neck again. James gripped Alestir's face and pressed his thumbs in Alestir's eyes.

Alestir released James from his jaws due to James trying to rip his eyes out.

James gripped Alestir's horns once again to regain control of Alestir's head.

James wrapped one leg around Alestir's neck and began kicking Alestir's wing joint with the other. This caused intense pain to Alestir. Alestir roared in agony.

James quickly grabbed Alestir's left wing with both hands and wrapped his legs around Alistir's wing joint, bringing all his focus where he's injured. James pulled on the dislocated wing relentlessly, trying to tear his tendons and ligaments.

Alestir bit James's lower leg in attempt to pull James off of his wounded wing.

James pulled harder as he screamed in pain from Alister bitting his leg. James continued pulling muscles, tendons and ligaments in Alestir's wing, hoping this would cause pain compliance from Alestir.

Alestir landed on his side and curled his body. He tried to bite James's arm to force James on his wing.

James shifted himself over the other side of Alestir, still hanging on to his fragile wing. And avoiding another bite.

“I yield! I yield!" Alestir screamed as he realized James continued to maintain an offensive advantage by focusing on his wounded wing.

James released Alestir's wing.

The werewolf guards howled repetitively and cheered for James's victory.

James laid there, covering his bloodied shoulder and chest with one hand, and gripped his leg, moaning in pain.

“You're now the head leader of the clan, James". Sasha said as she picked James up on his feet.

“Fuck" James said as he stumbled and felt his world spin, the bloodied human lost consciousness from the blood loss caused by the deep cuts from Alestir's teeth and claws. Sasha caught him, breaking his fall.

The werewolves stopped howling. Their cheers silenced, all had a look of concern.

Sasha drew a circle, and drew markings as if she's casting a spell.

“Don't fret everybody. He'll be fine", Sasha assured the guards.

It was dawn, James woke up in Sasha's throat.

“Goddamn it, I loose consciousness from injury and wake up in her throat again.

I hope she's not mad. Well I'll enjoy it before I'm in the doghouse", James thought.

“James's thoughts woke Sasha. Sasha smirked, and she decided to toy with him.

She regurgitated James. James saw Sasha with a scolding gaze on her face.

“That's the second time I saved you from death. This time both of us from it", Sasha said. James looked at his wounds.

“No scales covered the wounds. She obviously did something different. So that's a good thing", James thought.

“Thank you... Again..." James said as he cringed.

“You don't know when to yield do you?" Sasha growled.

“Uuuuuummmmm... No... I don't yield to someone acting like an asshole", James said, referring to Alestir.

“Human, you are a true pain in my ass", Sasha said.

“How much trouble am I in?" James asked nervously.

“You put my life at risk for power. Power corrupts humans. You're in a real world of shit now", Sasha said.

“No! I didn't do it for"

Sasha laughed uncontrollably, interrupting James.

“You should have seen the look on your face", Sasha said.

“You're not angry?" James screamed in surprise.

“Simply put? No... I'm not... Your condition was quite an easy fix with a little magic. If I thought your life was truly at steak, I would have called the duel to Alestir's favor before it gets that severe. I was just toying with you", Sasha said.

“How is Alestir? Will he be ok?" James said.

“He's grounded for a while, he can't fly until his wings heal. It's why he yielded actually. A dragon's worst fear is permanently loosing ability to fly. We fear that more than death", Sasha said.

“Well, I didn't know that", James said.

“That's what makes it fascinating. It seems more like fate than coincidence. And for you to fight through the pain you must have felt?

When he bit your shoulder and thrashed you around like a rag... That's actually when I thought you would yield", Sasha said.

“Yield? I like to fight", James said.

“You seriously didn't have fun did you?" Sasha said.

“Hell no! That wasn't fun at all. That was way too intense. Never had a fight like that, nor do I want another", James said.

“Good, I began to think you're mad.

Alestir has dueled five other dragons and won. We all duel when our authority is challenge and all of us get challenged. Except for me. Most quickly learned not to duel me. But hey, I guess you enjoy a bloody fight", Sasha said.

James had a look of fear as his face went pale at the thought of going through another duel with another dragon.

“That's right... Those with power who wish to keep power must fight. It's our ways. Have you done something you regret now?" Sasha said.

James nodded in the affirmative.

“My rebellious nature really got the best of me this time", James admitted.

Sasha nodded her head in agreement with James.

“Can we have a duel of our own Just for fun? No wing breaking or blood drawing, James said as he smiled.

“I'll get my ring... However, I can't promise you won't bleed. Your blood is tasty truth be told", Sasha said as she gave a toothy grin.

Sasha put her ring on. “Ready when you are", She said as she swayed her tail in anticipation.

James leaped on Sasha, and grabbed her head. He turned her head sideways and in a blink of an eye, took her to the ground. James straddled her neck, then locked her forelegs in the crook of his knees.

“Wait... You let me do this", James said alarmingly as he found taking the best fighter in the clan to the ground was way too easy.

“Oh you definitely have some skill, human. You're good", Sasha said as she realized she could not move her forelegs She noticed James kept her head turned sideways to keep her off center.

Sasha threw her head backwards, hitting James in the forehead with her skull. James was stunned from the blow. Sasha leaped in the air, throwing James off of her. Quickly, Sasha leaped on James. She then cliched James in her forelegs, and held him tight against her chest. She then cliched him with her hind legs and wrapped her tail around James's legs within only a second. Finally, she folded her wings around James.

“But, not quite good enough to beat me. I even gave you the advantage of giving you the first move", Sasha said.

James struggled as he tried to break free. However, Sasha had his arms pinned to his sides, and her tail wrapped around his legs. Her wings wrapped around James for good measure... There was no escape.

“Do you yield?" Sasha teased.

James squirmed, trying to free himself. Out of desperation, James headbutted Sasha.

James winced in pain after he headbutted her.

“Ouch, that wasn't smart", James said.

Sasha chuckled at James's pathetic attempt.

“My skull is allot thicker than yours... Please... You're just hurting yourself", Sasha said.

“Ok, you're much faster than Alestir" I didn't even have time to react", James said.

“I've been challenged thirty times, and never had injuries more severe than a couple scratches. For you, I wasn't even trying. Imagine if it was me you where dueling for real? I tend to leave my opponents laying in their cave for months", Sasha said.

“I noticed... You let me put you in that hold", James said.

Sasha opened her jaws and lightly gripped James's neck with her jaws and began to caress his neck with her tongue as she sucked on him.

“Hhhmmmmm... Being your prey feels so good", James said.

Sasha released James from her jaws.

“Fun has just begun", Sasha said as she began moving her hips back and forth against James.

“I like this position. It's very intimate", James admitted.

“Yes this is how I like my prey... Helpless"... Sasha stated as she kissed James and the two made love to eachother.

It was latter in the morning.

“James, you can't miss your first time as a clan leader! We must go!" Sasha said.

James carried Solas Na Gaeli and Gale.

What about them?" James asked.

“We'll take them to the nursery till we are done. The other leaders will be... Well shocked to see you sit among them", Sasha said.

James's heart leaped in his throat at Sasha's statement.

“Are you nervous, human?" Sasha said.

“Hell yah I'm nervous!" James said.

“Well, a little humility goes a long way with us leaders. Stay humble and you'll be accepted by the others. I'm sure of it", Sasha said.

“Yah, also with Sasha by my side I think I'll be fine", James reasoned with himself.

James and Sasha entered the leader's cave.

“James dueled Alestir. It was a fair fight, Alestir had his ring on. James won the duel. He's here to take Alestir's place. I was the witness to it", Sasha said.

The other four leaders looked at James.

They laughed at James and Sasha.

“That's a good joke Sasha", the purple dragon said.

James held his head down. The purple Dragon noticed James's actions.

“It's no joke", He said in amazement.

“James, may I ask why you dueled Alestir? Why would a human do such an insane thing? Dueling a dragon would be a very painful, unpleasant experience", The green dragon Said.

“Mannan Mac Lir demanded to see a clan leader. Alestir was leading clan members to the keep. Alestir was occupied, Mac Lir threatened to level our city with his army.

Sasha and I broke rank, we where the ones who spoke to him. I made a request he owed me years ago, and he complied.

Alestir tried having us arrested for breaking rank when he found out we spoke to Mac Lir. That's when I challenged him to a duel. I felt he was using his authority in an inappropriate way", James said.

“Sasha, is this true?" The green dragon asked, seemingly unable to believe her own ears.

“It is the truth", Sasha said.

Alestir walked into the cave.

Sasha folded her wing protectively over James.

“We fought fairly, James did indeed win the fight", Alestir said. The clan leaders saw Alestir's wing wrapped and splinted.

“James, you're free to take your seat", The green dragon said.

“I'm sorry James. I should have weighed your actions justly, not lawfully. This was my mistake", Alestir said.

“You now have my old position as a guardsman. You'll soon have to learn to do that on a daily basis to make the members both love and respect you", James said.

Alestir thought about what James said.

“You'll also be safer that way, truth be told. I never had any grudge or animosity against you. But I wasn't willing to stand idly and allow Sasha get arrested. You're a good guy, Alestir. You even came after what I did. Remember, start thinking of rules more as guidelines when it's appropriate to do so", James said.

“I suppose if I where you, I'd think the same way", Alestir replied. James and Sasha took their seat, Alestir left the cave.

James sat next to Sasha. The green dragon got up and handed James a pile of papers.

James pulled a sheet of paper, the words where written in Gaelic.

“Sasha, I can't read Gaelic", James said.

“It's tradition for the one in your seat to read them to the rest of us", Sasha said.

“This is embarrassing", James said.

“James, you have no idea how embarrassing it really is", Sasha said as she placed a palm on her forehead.

“New rule, everything must be written in English so I can read it. Do I have a vote?" James asked.

“Speaking it in Gaelic is also tradition... my vote is Nay"

The other four simultaneously said Nay.

“Goddamn it", James said.

“James" Sasha said.

“Yes Sasha?", James replied.

“I'm challenging you to a duel", Sasha said.

“I yield!" James screamed.

James and Sasha traded spaces.

“Sasha... Thanks for saving me... Again". James said.

Sasha and the other four dragons laughed.
