Festival of Love
Twin World Revolution
Chapter 8: Festival of Love
***
(Sunset)
The months quickly passed. Summer ended and fall began. School began for us on earth, while Fall was in full swing on Amorphis.
"Wake up love."
Lacyus licked me and waited.
"I know you're awake. I can sense it."
I half opened my eyes. "Come on Lacyus." I murmured, a lazy smile on my face. "Can't you see a girl needs her sleep?"
Lacyus smiled back and reached out telepathically, gently caressing my heart. I purred as I felt Lacyus' being trying to bond and become as close as he could to me.
"You know what day it is today, right Sunset?"
I nodded. "Ky'ram. The Festival of Love."
Ky'ram was probably one of, if not my absolute favorite days of the year. It was the kind of day where only Lacyus and I and the love between us was the only thing that mattered. In the past, before Lacyus had dissapeared, we would have to be escorted around by one of Lacyus' parents. Whenever his dad was with us, Lacyus was not allowed to show any affection to me, even though everyone knew we were in love. Now, it was just us. We could do whatever we wanted with each other.
I sighed. As usual, I felt the urge to have a shower. Lacyus must have sensed it.
He kissed me on the tip of my muzzle. "How about we take a bath together?"
"We've never done that before, have we?"
"No."
Still half asleep, I swung my legs out of bed. "I'll get a couple of towels."
The two of us stumbled into the hallway of Mira's incredbly huge house. Mira and Skyve were still on Earth, finishing some work before they would crossover to Amorphis. After gathering a pair of towels, I trudged to the kitchen to get some special items before I headed up to the bathroom.
Lacyus was filling the tub up. He looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Is this warm enough?"
I went over and tested the water. "Mmmm, yeah. Just perfect." I took some of my scented oils and put a couple of drips in. I then took out the candles that I got from the kitchen and set them around the tub.
Lacyus raised an amused eyebrow. "You're going all out, aren't you?"
I smiled. "It just us today. I want it to be just us like this whenever we do something like this."
Lacyus turned off the tap and climbed in. I climbed in, after lighting the candles and turning out the lights, and cuddled up in his lap. We washed each other, planting kisses everywhere on each other's body. However, Lacyus decided to take it a bit further.
"Ohhhh..... Oh Lacyus.... Mmmmm....."
Lacyus licked my clit again, sending a jolt of pleasure up my spine. I moaned, arching my back. My hands drifted to my breasts, squeezing and massaging them. Lacyus gently pulled my pussy open, allowing cool air to float in, making my inner walls spasm. He took a breath, then gently blew fire into my feminine depths.
Instantly, I cried out, moaning out Lacyus' name. The fire had set off an incredible climax, making me writhe and twitch. I slumped to the bottom of the tub, a gentle warmth spreading from my nether regions to all over my body. Lacyus kissed me and hugged me, letting me recover.
"Oh Lacyus..." I whispered. "That was incredible."
He smiled. "Glad you liked it."
Lacyus gently pushed me back, taking the lead. We kissed deeply and passionately, moaning as Lacyus pushed his member slowly into my depths. I felt the usual streching, then suddenly I felt bumps sliding into me. I looked down to see a series of ridges on Lacyus' cock that I never noticed before.
"Mmmmm, oh, where did-" I moaned as another ridge slipped into me. "-did those mmmmmmmmmoooohhhhhhhh-" Another ridge. " come from?" I moaned again as the final ridges slid in.
Lacyus started panting as he thrust into me. "I dunno."
For what seemed like hours, Lacyus and I made love in the bath, panting and moaning. Every time Lacyus thrust, his ridges seemed a bit thicker and more bulbous. I looked down, eyes half lidded.
"L...Lacyus, you, ahhhnnn, have a knot."
He grunted and thrust hard, making his knot brutaly mash against my clitoris. "I, uhhhn, do?"
Lacyus' knot expanded even more. Despite the initial surprise, I was getting more and more turned on at the feeling of Lacyus' knot bumping against me. I cried out,begging for Lacyus to finish me off. I begged to be tied and filled with Lacyus' cum. In one quick movement, Lacyus pulled back and thrust hard, sinking his knot into me. I threw my head back and howled, lights flashing before my eyes. I could barely feel the warmth of Lacyus' cum in my depths. As my climax went higher and higher, I began to feel light headed. Finally, darkness closed in and the last thing I could remeber was slumping forward and murring "I love you." to Lacyus.

The rain pattered down on my window, collecting in drips, then racing off in search of the source of gravity. I sighed and stared out it, my breath fogging it up. For what seemed like the millionth time since I woke up, I pulled the water out of my water bottle using my magic, formed it into a ball and began to toss it into the air.
I knew what day it was on Amorphis. Ky'ram. The day I was supposed to spend with Rykuu. But my parents thought I was getting too involved with Eric. Their voices still echoed in my head.
"He's a bad influence." Mom murmured with a tone of motherly authority. "I can just see he's hiding things."
Dad wasn't any better. "Maybe you should look at Mattheiu. Maybe you can charm him away from that Marissa girl."
That was what set my draconian temper on fire. "CHARM HIM!?! From Marissa!?!?! They've known each other since they were six. You think that just a cute little 'Hey Matt' here and there will make him forget her!?!? And I'd never steal a friend's boyfriend!"
I hated them for that. For everything. For keeping me from my mate. I was become more of a dragoness each day.
There was a click and the door opened. Mom and Dad walked in with some papers.
"Here Hannah. These are papers for an online dating service-"
That took the cake. "ONLINE!?!? What the hell?!?!?"
Dad got angry and siezed me by the collar of my shirt. In the past, my parents had been abusive, often beating me a bit when I went against them. "This has gone to far young lady! Now either you smarten up or we take this downstairs!"
My voice grew icy. "Let go of me."
Dad whispered intimadatingly. "What?"
"I said let go of me."
"What gives you the right to order me around?"
"This."
With that, I clapped my hands together and transformed into a dragoness. I was taller and had longer arms, so my hands immediately went for his neck, wrapping around it and choking him. He let go and his eyes opened wide with fear.
"I'm leaving." I growled angrilly. "Forever."
I tossed my former father against the wall like a rag doll. As I walked by my former mom, I brutally, shoved her into the wall. She crumpled into a heap. As I walked out the front door, a human again, I felt strangely liberated. Like I was free from some kind of prision I was held in. A new light was suddenly glowing in my mind. The dragoness. It was finally awakening totaly. Suddenly there was a bright flash. As a reflex, I dashed into the forest. Looking at my arms and hands, I found I was in dragoness form. But I had changed. I was now ice blue with red element marks. A voice echoed in my head.
*Greetings Nephilla. I am the God Of Souls. In reward for your show of moral strength and integrity, I have gifted you with powers beyond your imagination. Enjoy my gift of the mark of the Furydragon.*
Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation on my left breast. I looked down to see a patch of scales glowing in the shape of a serpent dragon in a spiral coil.

The portal collapsed, leaving Skyve and me in the great room of my house. Skyve's eyes went wide.
"This is your house!?!? It's so damn BIG!!!!!!!"
I giggled softly. "Bounty Hunting is very profitable. My room's upstairs."
Skyve gave a look of slight suprise. "Your room?"
"We're mates so we should sleep together."
"But don't you think we're rushing it? I mean, we just got back together three months ago."
I frowned. "Well yeah, but we were mates for years before that."
Skyve nodded. "Now that you put it that way, I have no problem.
I lead Skyve up to my room so he could drop his stuff off. Skyve was even more awestruck by my bed. It was a four post medieval style bed with red silk curtains. I had a light tan colored bedspread with a nice and warm duvet. My room was very unique. It had it's own master bathroom with a jacuzzi style tub and a 7 head shower. In my room, the walls were stone with tapestries hung on them. Each tapestry had different pictures of different events in Xenomorphic history.
While Skyve unpacked, I went down to check on Ruuk. I had taken an early liking to Ruuk. Despite the early learning curve on how it was bad to shred the newspaper before anyone had read it, he was very friendly. He was like a dog, but ten times smarter. And with wings. We had allowed him to sleep in any room he wanted, but he prefered the closet under the stairs, probably because it felt like a cave to him. In there, we provided him with old quilts and old blankets and he made himself a little nest.
I opened the door to the stairs closet. Ruuk, as usual, was curled up, fast asleep. In his 'lap' slept little Uura and Thaad. The two loved Ruuk and often wanted to have a sleepover with the pet dragon. Ruuk treated them like they were his own pups, playing with them, feeding them when he had extra table scraps left, and constantly looking out for their safety.
Ruuk stirred at the light that streamed in from the door. He made a semi-groaning noise and opened his eyes. Uura and Thaad stirred as well, rubbing their eyes and yawning. Ruuk stood up and gently lifted the two out of his nest by the scruffs of their neck. I leaned down and scooped them up and walked out, Ruuk following. As soon as he was in the great room, he shook briskly, yawned and stretching. He then promptly proceeded to the kitchen and sat in front of his food dish, waiting patiently to be fed. I set Uura and Thaad down on the table and went to the fridge. Scanning the shelves, I found a small package of pre-sliced, uncooked beef dragon chow. I opened it and put one half of the package into Ruuk's bowl, which he promptly emptied. I smiled and patted him on the head.
"Have a good sleep buddy?"
Ruuk gave a draconian bark and wagged his tail.
I knelt down and began scratching under his chin. "You can have the newspaper today. I don't want to read it."
With that, Ruuk rushed out, jabbering in glee. He came back in with the newspaper clutched in his mouth and began to flail his head back and forth, sending bits and pieces flying in all directions.

I gently held Sunset in our bed as she regained consiousness.
"Wha....." She blinked sleepily. "What... Happened....."
I grinned. "You passed out."
She looked up at me, her eyes half closed. "That's right. Your knot."
"I did some research online. Some dragons develop knots and ridges for some reason."
Sunset closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest. "Well, that was incredble. I've never climaxed like that."
"I'm glad you liked it."
We sat silently for some time, me just simply stroking Sunset's muzzle and Sunset thrumming happily in response.
"I can hear your hearbeat Lac."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Sunset smiled. "It's very calming..."

(Rykuu)
Nephilla was grounded by her parents, so unfortunately we had to spend Ky'ram apart. I had prepared myself for this eventuality so it didn't phase me much. It still, however, was a source of disappointment for me. I had hoped that Neph would be with me today. I got her a gift and everything. I even went through the trouble of making reservations for dinner. I knew Lacyus and Sunset were going for sure. To take my mind off of her, I was renewing my freehunter's license for the Bounty Hunter's Guild. I was in the middle of a written test. It was mostly about regulations and recognizing illegal weapons and hunting techniques.
I came up to the final question. "What is the governing treaty that controls the jursitiction on Bounty Hunting and when will it take effect in the field?"It was a partial trick question. I started writing my answer.
"The governing treaty is the Aquilae Treaty of 1985. There is no set time it comes into effect; it is always actively participating in operations since its signing."
I raised my hand. "Excuse me proctor?"
One of the exam proctors, a leopard got up and came over. "Is there something wrong?"
"Nah, I just finished."
"Alright, if you'll just follow me."
She took me over to the grading machine and ran my paper through it. It clicked and whirred as the belts pushed my paper through. Finaly the machine beeped and the small display lit up. The proctor nodded.
"Good. 91%. Highest score of the day so far." He turned to me. "You need to take this-" he handed me a slip of paper the grading machine printed. "-and go to records. They'll get your paperwork done for a new license."
I took the slip and started the walk through the field of the BHG headquarters. November on Amorphis was ususally very chilly. I had a rather thick jacket and a scarf on. The scarf was a gift from Nephilla. She had made it in her home economics class on Earth. It was my favorite bit of winterwear.
On base, there was no dragon to be found without a partener. No matter how you put it, it was easy to see the love between any two dragons. It made me even more disappointed.
I stepped into the records department. At the front desk, there was a pair of dragons, a blue and orange male and a beige and green female. They were kissing and nuzzling over the counter. I politely tapped the bell. The male murmured something to his mate and came over.
"Sorry about that. How can I help you?"
I gave him the slip of paper. "I need this checked out."
He nodded. "Alright. Can I have your old ID? I need to destroy it for security reasons."
I took out my wallet and handed him my ID card. As he went off to the shredder, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see Ennica standing there.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked.
Ennica pulled out a file from her bag. "The Order needs some stuff cleared up. It's been slow going ever since Lord Akival ordered the Order to stand down all active operations for the holidays."
I sighed. "There's no contracts during the winter and Nephilla's been grounded so yeah. I hope it's going better for you."
The dragon returned with some papers. "These are just temporary. Your new card is coming in the mail."
"Thanks." I turned to Ennica. "See ya."
I left the base looking down at the papers to check if everything was in order. Suddenly, someone ran into me and a yelped and fell backwards.
"Jeez, are you okay?" I asked, rubbing my head.
A ice blue and red dragoness sat in the same condition. "I'm fine. I just-" Her eyes went wide when she saw me.
"What? What's wrong?"
"It's me Rykuu. Nephilla."
I was taken aback. "Nephilla? But?"
"I dunno what happened. One minute I'm a Waterdragon, the next I'm a Furydragon."
"What happened?"
"Like I said, I dunno."
"How'd you get here?"
She lowered her head a bit. "I disowned my parents."
I stared in disbelief. "You what?!?"
A strained look played across her face. "I couldn't take it! I wanted to be a dragoness again! It's who I am, and what I am! My human parents couldn't accept that. So now, my only parents are my draconian mother and father."
I nodded in understanding. "I see." Then I noticed that Nephilla was starting to shiver. I realized she was only in a T-shirt and PJ pants. "Aren't you cold?"
Nephilla got up. "No, I'm fine." Her teeth were starting to chatter though.
"No you aren't. Here." I took off my jacket and draped it over Nephila's shoulders. "I don't care how much you hate it, you need to stay warm, even if it means giving up my jacket."

(Lacyus)
Sunset and I sat on a cliff, our fishing rods extending over it with their lines in the water below. Ever since I introduced Sunset to crab fishing, we started considering fishing as a special activity between the two of us.
Sunset leaned more into me, and I wrapped my arm around her. In her hands was her fishing rod, held over the edge. Our lines ran down the meager 8 foot drop into the water below. It was chilly, so I wore a green hoodie with black denim pants. Sunset wore a very soft purple wool turtleneck sweater that hugged her curves and green pants that did the same.
"I told you you'd look good in those kind of clothes. It makes you look better in general." I said, wrapping my arm around her shoulder.
"I still feel like a slut." Sunset replied, giggling. "Although it does feel nice getting extra attention from those single dragons."
I kissed her. "You're so beautiful, you just don't like to show it. It makes me happy when you look good."
"It should." She growled playfuly. "You can see more of these." Sunset lifted one of her breasts.
"Do you want something?" I asked, grinning slyly.
"Maybe..." Sunset reeled in her line and began to slip her sweater off, leaving just her turquoise lace bra on. "Or I could just torture you..."
I reeled in my line as well and immediately pounced on her kissing her deeply. We closed our eyes and explored each other's mouth. Our tounges and tails met and intertwined as we moaned into the kiss. I felt the familiar taste of Sunset's saliva. Never in my life had I felt this connected to Sunset. She was the angel in my life and I absolutely loved her for it.

(Ten years earlier, Sunset as a 6 year old)
"Mira! In! NOW!!!"
Lacyus' mother's voice carried sharply over the field in front of Lacyus' house. Mira sighed.
"Fuck. She has it in for me now." Mira got up and sighed. "Good luck with Lacyus though."
And with that, Mira took off, running for the front door of the house. My heart pounded in my chest. My hand shook uncontrolably. I wanted Lacyus to know how felt about him. That what I felt went way beyond friendship.
Lacyus slept peacefully beside me on the grass. I took a nervous swallow and gently shook him.
"Lacyus... Lacyus, please get up."
He groaned and sat up. "What's wrong?"
I avoided his eyes. "I want to...." My voice faded.
"Want to what?"
".....to tell you something. To ask....." I trailed off.
Lacyus leaned down and tried to look me in the eye, but I turned my head. "Yes?"
"What if I was...... I felt wr....... wrong in calling you a friend....... What if I didn't feel you were a friend?"
"I'm not a friend anymore?"
"No, that's not it..... What if it was different?"
Lacyus frowned. "From what?"
"Different, I.... I ..... I..... I dunno..... From how we are now...... What if it's a little more than what it is now?"
"What are you getting at Sunset?"
"I.... I..... I....." I swallowed again. "I..... Lo....."
"You what?" Lacyus' frown deepened. "What's wrong?"
"I.... I.... I love.... you...."
And in that instant I turned my entire body away, covering my face, ashamed of what I just did to our friendship. I had ruined something the two of us had carefully nursed over the years. We knew everything about eachother and I just ruined it.
"You.... Love me?" Lacyus mumbled, completely awestruck.
There was complete silence except for the wind whispering through the blades of grass. I waited for Lacyus to start yelling at me and telling me to get lost.
Suddenly, I felt someone kissing me on the cheek. My mind ran through every possibility before it settled on the impossible: Lacyus was kissing me. It was no more than a peck on the cheek, but it seemed to make my heart freeze and melt at the same time. Soon after, Lacyus wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"I've been kinda feeling a bit wierd about you Sunset, but you kinda told me what I feel. I love you too."
I was shocked and slackjawed for a moment. Then, my heart completely melted and I closed my eyes and leaned against Lacyus. In my head, I swear I could see the future. In one vision, I was kneeling in the forest, crying for Lacyus to return, when I knew he wasn't coming back. In another, I was in bed, incredibly weak but being lovingly nursed back to strength by Lacyus. Another, Lacyus was on his knee, asking me to marry him. In another, I was so angry, I forgot about our love. Another, I was crying because Lacyus left me. The visions became faster. Me standing in a wedding gown, holding Lacyus' hand. Next, Lacyus sat beside me, my belly swolen and pregnant with our egg. Finally, me nursing my daughter, while being held by Lacyus.
And in that moment, I knew Lacyus and I would be together for the rest of our lives.
***
(Present day, Lacyus)
I carried Sunset through the door, her eyes closed and fast asleep. She had passed out while I mated her again. Ruuk came up to us and gave a concerned whimper.
"She's fine. She's just asleep." I whispered.
Sunset groaned and opened her eyes, giving me an affectionate smile. "That was amazing Lac."
I bent my head down and kissed her. "What did you dream about?" I knew it was a stupid question, but at the same time Sunset loved these little shows of affection and attention.
"The day we fell in love."
I gently set Sunset on her feet and she took her entire weight, though a bit wobbly at first. She made her way to a couch in front of Mira's fireplace. I lit a fire with a couple of logs and a stream of fire from my muzzle.
I rearranged the logs and turned to Sunset. "You want anything?"
She nodded and smiled, her voice low. "Maybe some hot chocolate."
I gave her a kiss and went to the kitchen, coming back with a pair of steaming mugs. I handed one to Sunset and sat down. She moved to sit in my lap and carefully sipped at the hot chocolate.
"I love you Lacyus."
I licked her and rested my head on her shoulder. "You've said that a hundred times now."
"And I always meant it."
I set my mug down on the end table next to the couch and eached into my pocket, pulling out a small jewlery box. "This is for you Sunset."
Sunset took it and opened it. I could see tears form in her eyes as she saw it. A heart formed by a gold band seemingly twisted into a Mobieus strip. Inlaid in it were two colors of precious stones. One side was white gold with golden yellow diamonds. The other was red gold with rare black obsidian diamonds. The pendant glittered in the light, a gold chain attached to it.
"Oh Lacyus... It's beautiful."
I smiled and kissed her. "Not as beautful as you are."
Sunset reached into her pocket. "Hold out your hand."
I did and she deposited a piece of rose quartz in my hand. There were words engraved in it.
_To Lacyus Akival
My savior
My best friend
My lover
My fiancee
My angel
Love, Sunset Tzura._
"I found this in a creek near my home before the hunters came." Sunset murmured. "It's been my only possesion from my old home. I think you deserve to know how much I love and trust you."
I gently pushed into Sunset's mind and felt how attached she was with the stone. It was no mere feat for her to part with it. I kissed her. "Thank you."
I held Sunset near the fire, the two of us just simply cuddling in silence, never having to talk. Finaly, the front door opened and Mira and Skyve came in. They were hand in hand. Mira was nuzzling Skyve affectionately. They headed upstairs to their room.
"We should get ready for dinner." Sunset murmured.

(Rykuu)
I was in a semi-dressy suit, waiting for Nephilla to finish putting on her dress.
"Not meaning to bug you," I said, warning her. "But we gotta get going pretty quick."
With that, Nephilla emerged from my bedroom in my apartment. My jaw dropped. She was wearing a purple form fitting dress with a couple of white flowers on one of the straps.
Nephilla smiled warmly. "I take it you like this?"
We went to dinner, talking and joking with Lacyus, Sunset, Mira and Skyve. We shared a piece of chocolate cheese cake between the two of us for desert. And just before the music started for the dance, something happened.
"So anyways, are we going to dance?" Mira asked, looking at Skyve.
"Not yet." Skyve got up. "I want to ask you something." And then, he suddenly walked over to Mira and knelt in front of her.
"Mira... I know we've just gotten back together, but at the same time, We've never really stopped loving each other." Skyve's eyes never left Mira's. She was starting to cry, realizing what was going on. "I know it was my mistake that I left you and I hope to never make that kind of mistake again. This is to make sure I never make that mistake...." I reached into his pocked and pulled out an engagement ring. "Mira... Will you marry me?"
Tears streamed down Mira's face and her voice was cracked and hoarse but full of joy. "Y-y-yes, I will...."
Skyve slid the ring onto her finger and cheers went up from the restauraunt. The two embraced and kissed for the first time as fiancees.

(Sunset)
"That was so sweet of Skyve." I murmured to Lacyus.
"It was." Lacyus replied.
The two of us were snuggled up to each other in bed. We had danced till we couldn't dance anymore. Halfway through the night we began trading partners. I danced with Rykuu and Skyve at least once each. Lacyus managed to score with Mira and Nephilla. Finally we went home and crawled into bed.
"Mmmmm.... This is so nice." I murmured, snuggling up to Lacyus.
"It is." He gently rubbed the back of my neck.
We laid in silence for some time before I broke it.
"I know this might be jumping the gun a little bit, but what do you think of children Lac?"
Lacyus chuckled. "Getting ambitious are we now?"
I, giggled and nudged him playfully. "Shut up you idiot. What do you really think?"
He thought for a moment. "A pup of our own? Hm..... Maybe not now, but sometime in the future. You'd make a great mother."
The lights were out and I could barely see Lacyus in the darkness. I could, however, feel his warmth and the dragoness in me instinctually seeked it out. I buried my muzzle in the crook of Lacyus' neck, closing my eyes. I felt Lacyus wrap his wings around me, locking me in a little cage created by his spine wings, and pulled the blankets up to our necks. I wrapped my wings around Lacyus, returning the gesture and wrapping him in a warm cocoon. I immediately felt myself slipping away, sleep overtaking me.
"I love you Lacyus." I murmured quietly, talking more over our link than verbaly.
*I love you too Sunset.* Lacyus voice flowed through my mind, setting off a domino effect and eventually I drifted off completely to sleep, dreaming of Lacyus and me together.

Author's note: Okay two pieces of news. First one bad. Sunset's kinda pissed at me because I gibbled the computer again. She's only letting me near her labtop once a week to submit my stories to YS, so yeah. On a lighter note, I was accepted into my courses at Simon Fraiser University, BC. I'm now studying Mechatronics Systems Engineering so I won't post as often. Sunset decided to take up some of the work for me and started editing and checking my stories regularly. Until next time, see ya.
