The air slowly turns cold as we ascend the rolling slopes before us. The cliff face that served as our guide has long scattered into a rippling of rocks, echoing outwards into the plains as we make our way northeast. Zerius leads the way, for lack of anyone more suited to the job. Zu has been pensive since the events in the shrine, as if his mind is elsewhere. That may just be the case, as far as I know.

My understanding is that Zu houses a small shard of divine essence, while Shen had absorbed a much larger amount. It appears to corrupt from within, asserting control while at the same time potentially granting the power to rival a demigod. Zu speaks little of it, and I can tell the idea of it unsettles him. The thought of him losing himself to this malevolent force is hard to bear. I feel powerless to help him overcome it. I sigh, forcing the unpleasant thoughts from my mind.

Zerius trots ahead of us, glancing back occasionally as if he fears Zu and I will run off together. Something about him keeps me on edge. I do not trust him. He turned his blade on his emperor so easily, and I wonder how long was he planning such a thing? Still, it appears he had planned to destroy Shen'zuka only after he was corrupted. I wonder what would have happened if Shen had kept control of himself? And what would come of the emperor's death? Zerius can't possibly have been trying to usurp him... could he? Does he harbor that kind of ambition?

The sun begins to set, the golden disc lazily hovering over the horizon, sinking slowly into the ground as the light gives way to darkness. Zerius finds a secluded spot between two long rocks, a sort of miniature valley, and we decide to stop for the night. The view of the plains is obscured by the elevated ground around us, the rock formations on either side providing some privacy and comfort. Conjuring a ball of fire and tossing it into a makeshift fire pit, Zerius ignites the piled grass and twigs into a blazing fire that provides some warmth against the encroaching cold.

"The farther north we go, the colder it will get." Zerius says, "We are ill-prepared for snowy weather, so we will have to cover a lot of ground quickly."

"Why not press further east, then?" I suggest, feeling a small tingle of annoyance at Zerius's commanding tone.

"We would have to move straight through the mountains, which would take us more time and be more dangerous. Holding north and circumnavigating the western mountain range is the best course of action." The matter-of-factness in his voice is abrasive to my ears, but I hold my tongue.

I hear shuffling behind me, turning to see Zu rising to his feet. His face fades in and out of a wince, as if he is battling with a lingering pain.

"I have a headache. I am going to go for a walk." His voice is quieter than normal.

"Is everything okay, Zu?" I say, worried that he is battling the divinity in his mind as we speak.

"I'm fine, Rel." He manages a smile, a glimmer of teeth visible at the corners of his snout. "I will return shortly."

Zerius and I sit in silence for some time. We exchange glances every so often, as if subtlety sizing each other up. Something definitely stirs within me when I think of him. I cannot quite put my finger on it. After a while my eyes settle onto the crackling fire, my mind wandering aimlessly. The silence is broken by Zerius as he startles me out of my trance.

"Rel'zeo, of the Zeo lineage. It is a shame what happened to your father." He sounds almost condescending. Before I can stop myself, I spit out a retort.

"What would you know of my father? You assume you have the right to speak of him." My face flushes red in anger, and shortly after, shame for losing my cool so easily.

Zerius exhales with derision. "Touchy. I get the feeling you don't like me, Rel'zeo."

I rise to my feet. "I do not trust you. You have done nothing to earn it."

He stands as well, his voice rising in intensity. "Do you think I am here for my sake?" He hesitates before letting out a derisive chuckle. "Oh, I think I see. It is because I am an Ebon dragonkin, is it not? How predictable."

I take two strides towards him, my face inches from his. "The color of your scales is no excuse for your personality." Our faces are so close, I feel his warm breath on my snout. I note with incredulity that my loins are stirring. Our eyes lock, expressions of irritation prevalent on our features. The rage of my anger mingles with a latent desire making itself known. Zerius bears his teeth in a hostile grin, noting the slight tent to my lower clothing.

"Am I exciting you?" He says through his grin. "Do you desire me?"

"No. I... ugh." I take a step back, trying to cool off. Staring at Zerius, my mind flashes with images of his figure underneath his clothes. A simmering arousal burns in my nethers, and I struggle to combat my urges. "I do not want this."

Zerius confidently steps towards me, placing his hands on my chest. His touch sends shivers down my spine, but before I can react, he pushes me roughly into the dirt. Pinning me to the ground, his hands race across my scales, touching and groping. The sensation causes me to groan with lust, but I still attempt to struggle against his weight.

"If we're doing this, we do it my way." He begins unfastening my clothes as I struggle underneath him, fighting a constant, ongoing battle between the common sense of my mind and the longings of my body. I chastise myself for my filthy perversion, but my inhibitions slowly give way, peeling away along with every article of my clothing. Thoughts of Zu are expelled from my mind, hidden due to shame and guilt.

Leaning down over me as I lie on my back, the now-naked Zerius guides his dark red meat to my bare rear. Raising my legs slightly, he eases himself to a comfortable position, the head of his dragon-hood pressing against my entrance. Lubing up with a handful of saliva, he wastes no time with foreplay, hastily pressing the tip inside me. My face twists into a grimace at the not-so-gentle invasion of my rear, my arousal surging and filling me with hot, lustful desire.

"Mmm, ha ha ha." Zerius chuckles, his tongue lolling out of his mouth as he pumps himself in and out of me. I grit my teeth, ignominy flaring through me at being mounted so shamelessly and vigorously. My body tenses up as an idea rolls through my mind. Zerius places a hand on my own cock, gripping it firmly, using it as leverage in tandem with his thrusting.

Leaning down and pressing his belly to mine, he continues to thrust inside me, spreading my hole and grinding into my bowels with every rough motion. Pounding deeply into me, Zerius freezes for a moment, resisting an early finish. I take advantage of this pause, launching myself upwards. The fast, aggressive motion pushes Zerius onto his back and I straddle him, my hands holding him down, his cock still embedded inside my rump. He looks up at me with startled disbelief.

"Now we do things MY way." I say with a smug grin, raising myself upwards and slamming down abruptly, driving his cock deep inside me. His disbelief turns to desperation as he battles his oncoming orgasm. Elation floods me at turning the tables on him, and I take my own cock into my hand, stroking the length slowly to build up my own climax. He struggles underneath me, but it is obvious that he's enjoying this as much as I am. I grind into his groin in back and forth motions, watching his reaction as I edge him closer.

"Aah, ahh! I can't! Aaaagh!" Zerius moans, arching his hips upwards in a panicked attempt to push through his orgasm. I pull myself up, denying him immediate release, and he whines and moans, squirming in an agony of pleasure. "Nnngah, you b...bastard!" He says breathlessly.

"We can't... have you finishing so soon." I pant, my stroking having pushed me to the edge of my climax sooner than I anticipated. I groan, feeling my seed build up within my nethers, the tension begging for release. Edging myself as I hover over Zerius, the tip of his cock still titillating my rear, I teeter, falling headlong into the bliss of my orgasm. Rapidly stroking my cock in reckless pleasure, I grit my teeth and groan as feel my seed surge through my shaft, pearly white strings splashing onto Zerius's wincing face before dripping onto his heaving chest. The last drops of semen dribble down my shaft as I milk myself, slickening my fingers with sticky residue.

Driving myself downwards suddenly, Zerius gasps in surprise as I rise and fall with reckless abandon, his cock slippery with copious amounts of pre-cum. Zerius cries out in esctacy, having been granted the release he craved. He thrusts his hips upwards in time with my motions, his face a grimace of overwhelming pleasure. I feel his semen fountain up inside me, the sticky warmth coating my insides and leaking down the length of his shaft with every pull of my body.

Our desires sated, I slide away, Zerius' member slipping out from inside me.

We say nothing to each other for some time, both of us panting and bathing in the afterglow as we lie in the dirt. My heart skips a beat as I hear footsteps close by. I spin around in time to see Zu at the edge of the firelight, a look of heartbroken dejection in his face.

"Zu! This isn't... I... I'm sorry." I stammer, mustering out only a few flimsy words, flush with shame and embarrassment.

"Why, Rel?" Zu says, his voice cracking as he fights back tears.

I open my mouth to speak, but Zerius interrupts me, stepping quickly towards Zu. He shies away, but Zerius gently leans his head forward and whispers something into his ear. I anxiously strain my hearing to decipher what is being said, but to no avail. After a short, whispered conversation, Zerius steps back, cleaning himself up and donning a few pieces of clothing. Rage and indignation course through me, fearing that Zerius has poisoned my lover against me. Zu stares at me long and hard, his sad eyes seeming to peer into my very soul. Any comforting or assuaging words are lost to the panicked whirlwind of my mind, and I sit there in silence.

Zu glances at Zerius, who nods in response, inclining his head towards me with a serious look on his face before rising to his feet and walking out of sight. After a few long moments, Zu steps forward, taking a seat next to me. His eyes continue their piercing stare.

Zu speaks, haltingly and carefully. "I know that our bond is stronger than this." He pauses. "But it hurts me... when you lay with others for pleasure. Am I not good enough for that? If I can't keep you happy that way... I... what good am I?" He trails off, eyes glistening.

I extend my arms out and hold him close. I fear that the embrace feels empty to him; he does not return it. I gaze directly into his eyes, trying to mentally force my thoughts and regret into his head. "Please, forgive me, Zu. I did not mean to hurt you. I... cannot give excuses... I am sorry. "

I struggle with further words, trying to find better things to say. My mind refuses to comply, and so I speak from my heart. "You are the only one for me, the only one that I want to spend my life with. The only one I want to have next to me, watching the sunrise and sunset, wrapped in each others arms. I love you more than anything in the world. I was a fool to surrender to my urges so, for it meant that I harmed the one thing I want to protect."

Tears begin to stream from my eyes as Zu refuses to respond to my heartfelt honesty, his face a stony neutrality. He continues to stare at me, his eyes focused on mine. Panicked, I am nearly pleading at this point. "Please Zu, I don't want to lose you."

Finally, he turns his snout up into a small smile, wrapping his arms around me.

"I forgive you, Rel. You didn't need to pour your heart out like that."

I sniff, looking at Zu with disbelief. "Why would you scare me like that? I thought I had lost your trust for good."

"Sorry! It's just... we've been so occupied lately. It leaves little time for us to be really... together. I want to hear those things all the time."

A silence ensues as I ponder his words. We glance nervously at one another for a few minutes, when he attempts to break the awkward tension.

"Heh, you must have been pretty pent up to take it out on him, of all people." He points to Zerius.

"Hey! I resent that." Zerius says with a mischievous tone. "Maybe I could give you a demonstration one day, little moonie. After all, you owe Rel'zeo some payback."

Zu chuckles, loosening up as we make light of the situation. "Maybe so." He turns to me. "But in the end, I'll always be his and his only. I love you, my fasra."

Our muzzles meet in a slow, passionate kiss. Zerius groans from across the campfire.

Zerius groans. "Can't you do that in private?"
