#4 of Role Plays

I am back with another Role Play that I have been doing with Killjoyrule. https://killjoyrule.sofurry.com. This one is about my main character Colby Daniels who finds a lone dragoness, the last in the world as he trains to fight the evil that is quickly emerging. It soon turns out that they are meant for each other, and although tears are shed and words are said, they remain faithful to each other. In the first part we see them meet at a waterfall and the next day the dragoness enters heat. Something odd happens to Colby as a result, and even though he does not fully understand it, he welcomes it without complaint and the two become mates. While they are having a good time, evil never waits as two minions try and find the location of the new Protector and any other information that might be useful.

This starts off around the time I left off in my main stories. It allows me to go through my character and work with him, developing what he is like and how he reacts to different situations. I also have another story for Colby and Calin coming soon, but with college homework, that might be a while away although I do have part of it which I might post until I can finish it.

Enjoy!

StarLight Nova:

** ** _Focus...Concentrate. Predict his moves, counter and..._Oomph!

"Ow... Damn it." I mutter from the ground, an earth like clone of a human standing a few feet from me, right arm out, left arm in with its controller behind it.

"You have got to make yourself a small target Colby," A raspy voice says. "Enemies won't hesitate to deliver the killing blow after that." He explained.

"Good thing it's only training," I huff, groaning as I sit up, legs crossed as I rub my left shoulder, the point of impact. "And do you really have to hit that hard? I am going to have bruises for months!" Wincing, I stand up and brush off my robes, still gray and plain with my staff off to the side of the training area.

"Training takes discipline and hard work. If you do not want to get hurt or injured, then maybe being a Protector is not for you." The old man said.

I freeze, eyes wide looking at the ground, right arm halfway down my chest to swipe some dirt off. I clench my teeth and shake my head, cursing again when my shoulder erupts in brief pain. "Ok, I do want to train. I just did not expect you to go so hard on me." I reply, walking a couple steps forward before getting into my fighting stance again; left leg and arm out, right arm tucked in.

The old man nods once before widening his smile, the earthen combat warrior changing his stance...once again. With his legs the same as mine, he puts he left arm out with his hand in a fist as if to place it on his chest, raising his right arm with its fingers loosely open. Once it gets in position I start to inch forward, inch by inch with the sparing dummy remaining still. It happens so fast I could barely avoid it; the warrior leans forward and down, placing his left hand on the ground, pivoting before slamming his right heel into my chin.

"Never let your guard down Colby." The old man says. I sail through the air and come down hard, rolling onto my left side while holding my chin.

"Ngh! That was not called for Quin Shun! You could have broken my chin open! Again!" I shout, gingerly touching it to see if there is any blood. Thankfully, somehow, there isn't and I slowly get up again and dust off my robes...again.

"I guess it is time to take a break now. You mood will not get you anywhere in your training right now. Go to the waterfall and heal up, we will continue later on." Quin Shun says dressed in crimson red robes with a flaming mossy staff by his side.

I was wierded out the first time I saw his staff, covered with moss but alight in flames at the same time; a combination of serenity and fiery passion. Putting my hands by my sides, I watch as Quin Shun lets the earth warrior fall apart, crumbling down to the ground in a heap of loose dirt. Sighing, I rub my chin once more before turning to retrieve my staff as Quin Shun goes off to, wherever he usually goes when he is not training me.

Grabbing my staff, I twirl it around a few times before placing it on my back, secured by a very small amount of magic. I run my right hand through my yellow hair, blinking my eyes a few times and looking up at the sky, shielded by the trees all around me. The waterfall is not that far by running or jogging, but I am too tired to do either of them right now, so I begin walking through the trees, passing my cabin made a long time ago when I was younger, and head towards the waterfall.

If you ask me, it is both exciting and terrifying that I am a Protector, tasked with fighting anything evil to guard the world against. I do not have many powers, as I am just an apprentice, but Quin Shun told me I was special. Right when my powers manifested in the hospital room I was in, I knew that my long time dream had come true, although jumping out of the building and flying to the bank to stop the robbers was unreal, I have come to accept that I can now do things I normally could not do. I can fly, turn invisible, and probably many other things, but it will have to wait.

As I near the waterfall, I can hear the roar of the water, the muted call of the surrounding birds and call of the wildlife. Having built my cabin within Harold Parker State Forest, I enjoy listening to sounds and noises at night, feeling the breeze blow through me. Quin Shun said this was a good spot to train, and no one ever ventured as far as I had made my cabin. Still, even after confessing my feelings about how I felt about my parents dying in the car crash only about three months ago and my sister running away a year before that, heroes certainly have a hard life.

Arriving at the waterfall, I place my staff next to a nearby rock and undress, taking off my robes, pants, shoes and socks. Without having built a shower in my cabin...yet, it is nice to bath at the waterfall, the cool temperature allowing me to relax and drift off, to sometimes forget what is troubling me.

Killjoyrule:

** ** Meanwhile in a small secluded cave behind the water rested a very rare sight for the world. A dragoness lay there, her light blue scales covered in a thin mist of water droplets giving a shine to them as small light rays made it into the cave; her body rising slowly as she smelled a strange scent that startled her slightly from her slumber. She was a small one compared to other dragons, very young and still curious in her ways much like a hatchling sensing something new to explore as she made her way to the entrance of the cave. The scent reminded her of the lingering smell that was in her nest yet she never knew where it came from, only ever seeing her mother.

Soon she ended up seeing you resting in the waterfall, making her tilt her head. Sure she had occasionally seen humans outside, always making her nervous remembering how her mother scattered every time one had ended up near the nest, hiding her in a corner but this one smelled so strangely like a dragon that it left her brimming with excitement to meet this creature.

After all she thought it might be a friend, someone she could play with! She was always lonely since her mother fell asleep and never woke up again, looking in weird places for someone to be with but everything was too scared of her to let her close. Leaning against a rock as she watched you bath, she accidently upset the decent sized boulder as it rolled down into the water with a large splash, her confidence fading as she hid back in the cave hoping she didn't anger you.

Starlight Nova:

** ** I close my eyes and plunge my head into the water, swimming forward a few feet before resurfacing and shaking my head. My body is well toned and agile from the many weeks of training that Quin Shun has been giving me. I am not overly strong or rip, but I do have the beginnings of a six pack. As the wind rustles the leaves above and I murmur a few words to dull the pain in my left shoulder, a loud splash erupts behind me.

I twist, just catching the boulder sinking to the bottom of the lake. I blink my eyes, emerald green eyes shimmering from the mist brought forth from the splash. I raise my head marginally to spot a glimmer of something behind the waterfall, retreating as if not wanting to be seen. I place my feet firmly on the lake floor near the shore and tilt my head.

"What the? What was that?" I mumble to myself, water dripping down my chest as the water comes up to the middle of my chest. "I swore I thought I saw a flash of blue." I question, looking around to see if anyone was nearby.

Something must have disturbed that rock to send it into the river, something strong enough to move it. I strain my eyes to see if I can spot anything else, but my normal vision is not good enough, the mist acts like a thousand reflections, hiding anything behind the waterfall enough so that I would have to be right next to it to see something. Releasing a few calm breaths, I close my eyes and draw a small ribbon of energy to the surface, my arms resting by my sides in the water.

The same pressure wells up behind my eyes, forcing me to open them less I want something bad to happen to my eyesight. My normal round irises change, becoming narrow like a dragon's, allowing me to see far better than a human could. I scan the waterfall again, searching for anything that might have caused the boulder to fall into the lake. I blink a few times, rising to my full height to try and get a better view.

"Now, where are you?" I ask to no one in particular until a light blue glint catches my eye, the color almost white in the mist.

My eyes widen in disbelief, my mind not comprehending what I am seeing. It appears even though most of the waterfall obscures the shape of the figure, that it is a dragon. "No way...Th-this is not possible." I mumble before shaking my head and turning to rise out of the water.

I head to my clothes, using my energy to slowly dry myself by relaxing and muttering a phrase in ancient Latin. The water dries up soon enough and I proceed to put my socks, pants, robes, and shoes back on. Leaving my staff where it is, I walk slowly around the lake to the waterfall, staying as quiet as I can, hoping to not scare off whatever is behind it.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I notice you grab your clothes and start dressing, hearing several things that just leave me confused but I hide myself as best as I can in the corner of the cave, shivering from nervousness and fear as you slowly make your way towards me, my tail hugging itself close to me for comfort as I sort of hug it.

I have just enough curiosity though to stop myself from bolting immediately when I notice how nonthreatening the way you walked as if you were afraid to even crush a leaf the wrong way. My wings hug themselves against my back, trying to appear as small as I could in hopes that you wouldn't attack me.

I had always been so skittish around others if they noticed me first ever since I had met a wolf pack after getting caught playing with one of their cubs, they attacked me, leaving me bruised and scared.

I was very hungry at the same time, having scavenged for my meals, my mother not having stayed long enough to teach me how to hunt. I understandably was rather skinny but still had a nice set of healthy scales despite my lack of food, but I knew I was not in much of a condition to fight anything, feeling more than just the normal energy of life around you, something I felt everyday in my body just never knowing what to do with it but knowing it was a very dangerous thing my mom warned me never to play with the energy. I waited for you to reach me, too afraid to exit the comfort of the cave.

StarLight Nova:

** ** The mist from the waterfall begins to reach me, getting my robe wet and slightly heavy. "Maybe this was not such a good idea to put my clothes back on, idiot." I berate myself, stopping every so often to try and see if I could find an opening to what seemed like a cave behind the waterfall.

I look to the right near the forest and spot a shallow opening leading behind the waterfall. I walk forward again, turning my head occasionally to see if my eyes do not deceive me. By the time I reach the entrance, I am right next to the waterfall, the mist soaking my robes and pants. Letting out a soft curse, I reach for my energy again and place a waterproof spell on my clothes while drying myself out...again.

I shake my head briefly before continuing, looking into the cave to see the small form of a dragon. That must be what knocked that boulder into the lake. I have never seen a dragon before, and I really don't know what to do. By the looks of it, it must be scared, as I cannot spot its mother, I think to myself, crouching down and placing my right hand on the slippery wall, looking around to get a better sense as to how big the cave is.

I walk forward carefully, stopping every so often to readjust my gaze on the dragon to see if it is still there. Even after walking into the cave behind the waterfall, it must be true that what I am seeing is a dragon. I can clearly see that it is shaking, and so I slow down, kneeling on my right knee to calmly talk to it.

"Hi there, little one," I say. I can't tell if it is a male or female by how it is lying down and it is surely small. I would have thought it should be bigger, or else this one is just a hatchling. "Don't worry; I am not going to hurt you." I say, holding my left hand out with my palm facing the dragon.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I look at you as you make your way in, sticking my nose out a bit to sniff towards you, catching that same smoky scent. I back up further into the wall, avoiding you until I hear how calm you sounded, not having attacked me quite yet as my curiosity overrides my fear so that when you reach your hand out I lick it, shaking my head at the taste of it, looking confused. Slowly I uncurl myself as it becomes obvious that I'm female, my tail having moved away. I finally decide you seemed nice enough and nuzzle your hand.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I laugh when the dragon licks my hand, smiling wide and waiting for it to become comfortable around me. When it stretches out and nuzzles my hand, I rub its snout, feeling the soft scales and subtle heat it carries. I catch a glimpse of its left flank and see how malnourished it is, wondering if it has been all alone its life.

"You sure do have beautiful scales," I tell it, pulling my hand away to sit down on the floor. "And you must be hungry by how you look. I can see your ribs against your scales."

I sit there, just staring at the dragon with my legs crossed, looking at its wings and how there is not as much muscle as I would have imagined. Its fore and hind legs look skinny too. I lower my head and breathe out slowly, releasing the energy in my eyes, changing them back to normal. When I look up, I accidentally look down at its tail and see a line going through the scales leading to a smaller hole near the base of the tail.

I lean back, spreading my arms out to balance me as my eyes go wide in embarrassment. I stutter, trying to say something, to apologize but I am struck speechless as I know what that is, but do not know whether the dragon in front of me is male or female. I look down and away to the left, lowering my eyelids while trying to erase that image from my mind. I breathe out slowly, not realizing I had held my breath and turn towards the dragon again.

"Ehh, sorry, about that. I did not mean to peek. It was rude of me." I say, looking down between my legs to stare at the ground with my arms resting on my legs.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I purr as I feel your skin rub along my snout causing a pleasureful sensation along it. I begin to nuzzle more until you pull your hand away making me tilt my head in confusion when you suddenly get very nervous sounding and it throws me off guard wanting to keep you happy as you seemed to be to see me.

In reaction to you I nuzzle your chest and lick, trying to cheer you back up, afraid I had somehow upset you. I felt suddenly afraid of you leaving me alone again as you already had shown you were very kind so I lay my head in your lap, looking up at your eyes and giving a very sad sounding croon.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I close my eyes for a while when the dragon bumps its muzzle against my chest and licks me, obviously trying to cheer me up. I then feel a weight on my legs and I open my eyes, surprised as I see the dragon resting its head on my lap. A small smile is brought to my face while I look into its eyes, a light blue just like its scales, sparkling from the mist created by the waterfall and generally concerned that I will leave it.

"You want me to stay?" I ask, extending my right arm to lightly touch its neck so as not to scare it. I gradually move my hand up and down the dragon's neck, soothing it as I look over its form, looking at its horns, the spikes and its tail, making sure to avoid the spot at the base. Behind the waterfall, where sound is dimmed by the roar of it, I have no doubt that the dragon can hear me. "Sure, but I need to get back to Quin Shun sometime. I can stay for a few hours, but not forever." I explain, bringing my left hand up to gently and slowly touch the side of the dragon's muzzle, feeling its small scales on its face.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I give a happy purr as I notice you seem to feel better and wiggle excitedly, feeling your hand across the side of my face and I give a gentle lick along your cheek, returning the favor before relaxing and shifting to a more comfortable position of me lying on my belly, my tail swaying as I enjoy the rubs. Soon my stomach gives a hungry rumble, ruining the peaceful moment as it was my turn to act embarrassed making a sound that could only be described as a draconic laugh of sorts as I stand up and give a questioning look at you before walking to the waterfall and waiting to see if you would follow.

Starlight Nova:

** ** I back off as a strange sound emits from the dragons stomach, but I remind myself that it must have to fend for itself and does not get to eat a lot. I open my mouth when the dragon creates another noise, one that sounds somewhat like laughter as I see it get up and pad towards the waterfall, giving me a pleading look in which I tilt my head. "You...want me to follow you?" I ask, standing up slowly and walking towards the dragon. "I guess you want something to eat huh?"

Killjoyrule:

** ** I wiggle excitedly, noticing you were next to me. I jump into the water with a loud splash as water flies everywhere, slowly making my way to the shore, taking time to enjoy the water rolling around a bit but another grumble of my stomach reminds me of why I was outside the cave so I look around for anything that might be a suitable meal, sniffing the trees nearby and occasionally looking to see if you were still there but not having much luck at sniffing out any prey or food.

StarLight Nova:

** **"Hey!" I shout when the dragon jumps into the lake and splashes water all around, momentarily forgetting that I had put on a water resistance spell on my clothes. I lower my arms and watch as the dragon paddles in the water, looking at me every now and again while sniffing for food.

I look back from where I entered the cave and look at the other end, seeing if there is another exit on that side as well. I walk over, the dim light broken up by the mist making it hard to see by but I do spot another entrance and walk out, the mist sliding off my clothes so I do not get wet. I stroll around the lake towards the dragon and away from the waterfall, looking around and breathing in calmly as I wonder how I, out of everyone on this planet that could have seen it first, touched it.

I look over at the dragon as she cannot seem to find anything to eat, so I figure the overwhelming scent and noise of the waterfall is drowning out even her superior senses. I turn to face her, watching as she swims about. "Having trouble finding anything?" I ask, looking out to the forest where I know there is an abundance of wildlife, this small dragon probably does not know how to hunt.

"I can catch something for you if you want." I say without turning around.

I walk a few feet away from the waterfall, slowing my breathing down and kneel on one knee while placing my right hand on the ground. Closing my eyes, I reach for my energy and pull it forth, gathering it up around my arm, feeling the tension of it as I hold it there. From the training Quin Shun has given me, I should be able to locate something within a few miles if not a little further. As the seconds tick by my arm starts to throb and then I release it, not all at once but in small bursts, guiding it down my arm and out my hand and into the earth.

The pulses act like sonar, or radar, the energy flowing rapidly over ground and locating anything that moves or is large enough for what I am thinking. Small animals pop up at first, then bigger animals like big predator cats and bears. I squeeze my eyes tighter and send slightly bigger pulses, the energy gathered in my arm dissipating quickly. At last, a large animal is located by my energy, the pulse telling in what direction and how far it is away; a healthy buck, North-West of where we are and a little more than a quarter mile out.

I stand up, panting a little at the toll of energy required to do the task, a few beads of sweat rolling down my face. I cancel the water resistance spell so I can have some energy to kill or help kill the buck. "Dragon! I found something for you!" I yell, turning to wave my right arm in the air to get its attention. Once I make sure I have it facing me, I turn marginally to the right and point ten degrees from where I stand before starting to walk that way. Halfway to the woods, I turn around to see if the dragon followed me, just like how it wanted me to follow it.

Killjoyrule:

** ** After a bit of searching I notice you wander past the waterfall. I feel that feeling as I did the last time you use the energy you had in your body. It made me cringe from how familiar it was to what my mother had in her body and I knew I had in mine. It reminded me of the energy a dragon's soul carries, the very same type that my mother had used to heal me as I was sick.

Snapping myself from my thoughts I wait for you, curiosity brimming in my eyes. I wondered why you were releasing energy for no visible reason. Soon I realize you actually wanted me to follow you, awkwardly stumbling after you, still not completely concentrated on the path.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I feel the dragon following me as I head into the forest, glancing back occasionally to look at it. Every so often I stop and release a short burst of energy while placing my hand on a tree to make sure I am going the right way. After half an hour of walking I suddenly stop, raising a hand and looking back at the dragon to make sure it stopped as well. I continue to walk forward, crouching down to peer past the bushes to spot the buck grazing on some grass in a small meadow up ahead.

I slow my breathing, pulling back to stand up and think about what to do. I have not much in my arsenal of attacks, but I have learned from the heroes in many comic books and movies that you use what you can around you. That gives me an idea as I walk over to a tree carefully to try and not spook the buck and use a sliver of my energy to muffle the sound of a snapping branch.

I lower myself down to the ground and mutter a few words, breaking the leaves off and forming it into a crude arrow. I look back up at the dragon before standing up and holding my left hand out straight as if holding a bow while gripping the substitute arrow in my right hand. I close my eyes and picture a bow, whispering the words of materialization taught to me by Quin Shun. "Virtutem animus affero, wood bow." I say, opening my eyes to watch a bow materialize in my hands.

I grasp it once it appears, releasing a withheld breathe as I bring the substitute arrow up and notch it, pulling back on the string and steady my aim. I adjust my stance and narrow my eyes to the target, watching the buck raise its head at a small noise and turn around. I hold patiently as it walks around to show its chest. Before it can see me, I let go of the arrow, putting some energy in it to let it fly straight.

The buck struggles for a few seconds after it is hit, the wood splintering inside of its chest, puncturing its heart as it bleeds out. It stumbles and thrashes before falling to the ground. I lower the bow and mutter "Dispareo" for it to vanish. Looking back at the dragon, I raise my right arm and say, "enjoy."

Killjoyrule:

** ** When we finally do stop I smell the prey, feeling my mouth water at the scent, barely stopping myself from rushing after it in a frenzy. I did not do so because of how you were acting, it seemed as if you wanted to kill it so I sat down as quietly as I could, stopping my tail. As soon as I see the bow form my eyes opened wide wondering how you did that.

Before I know it you had the buck on the ground dying. I rush out as fast I can to it, ripping into the flesh hungrily with my teeth full of a ravenous hunger that had built up over weeks. Suddenly I stop, realizing how rude I was being since it was your kill; you should have had the first helping. Ripping off a decent sized chunk of meat I bring it over to you, looking up at you before dropping the meat at your feet. I wait for you before continuing like my mother taught me how I should in another dragons company. Although I was sure you didn't look like a dragon you smelled like one and that was enough for me.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I watch as the small dragon dashes forward to devour the buck in hunger. It must be really hungry if it went after it like that, I think to myself, breathing in and out calmly, my robes flowing in the wind. When the dragon comes to me with a chunk of meat in its mouth, I back up a step or two but stop so it does not think I am leaving it. "Ah....That is...kind of you dragon. I...do not eat meat raw like you but thank you for it. I will have to build a fire first before I can eat it." I explain, looking around for a sturdy branch.

To my left a ways up the tree is a decently sized branch that narrows into a fine point. I walk over, turning to look at the dragon and placing both hands with palms out as if to say enough or stop, or stay. I raise my head to look at the high branch and place my hands on my hips, then change position with my right hand on my chin and my left arm below it, thinking. My eyes widen and I snap my fingers as I come up with another solution. I hold my hand put, pointing at the branch with my palm out, muttering another word as I gather some of my energy. "Scindo." Or cut.

The branch falls and I catch it with my outstretched hand, turning around to crouch down, stabbing the chunk of meat with the branch like spear. I stand up and walk past the bushes to where the buck is lying; mutilated from the short time the dragon had been eating it ferociously. Remind me not to get on its bad side, I comment to myself. I look back to see if the dragon follows, setting the stick down to collect a few pieces of wood.

If everything Quin Shun has trained me in is true, then the words are in Latin for the most part. Holding onto one piece of wood in my hands, I mutter one word, "Effingo" and the wood multiplies. Smiling, I place the pieces of wood in a triangle and gather my energy one last time. "Brisingr," and the wood sparks with a flame. I let it grow respectively before picking up the branch with the chunk of meat the dragon gave to me and hold it over the flame while sitting on a nearby stump.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I watch curiously, wondering why you were not eating the meat. It soon becomes obvious why though as I watch you start the fire, suddenly realizing you might not have an internal flame to cook it like me and kill the bacteria. Running back to my meal I work on ripping off chunks of meat to greedily swallow. After a decent amount of meat I fell to the ground lying there to watch you, giving a sleight groan at how full I am most of the buck gone.

Curiosity soon made me rise again and make my way over to you, nosing along your body as I explore you much like you did me. One of the things that baffled me the most though is your lack of a tail, never having seen an animal without one. I nose along your back wondering if you were hurt there.

** StarLight Nova:**

I look up from staring at the flames, occasionally turning the meat so as not to burn it to see the dragon resting on the ground, having devoured most of the buck. I smile, turning my attention back to the fire, watching in fascination of the small flecks of flames drifting up. I freeze when I feel the dragon's snout travel along my body and to my back, having not sensed its presence nearing. I twist around, trying to think of what you could be doing.

"What, what do you want?" I ask, involuntarily lowering the meat into the fire. As its snout reaches my butt I stand up, abruptly turning around while bringing the branch with the chunk of meat next to my pants, on fire. "I don't know what you are trying to do, but I like my personal sp-" I stop mid sentence, feeling a hot sensation creeping up my right leg. When I look down I shout, hopping on my left leg and throwing the burnt meat away. I flail my arms, eventually losing my balance and falling onto my butt.

"Ow! Hot Hot Hot!!" I say over and over, frantically trying to quell the flames. I desperately reach for my energy, squirming, rolling and patting the fire in a panic. As I lift my right leg up high I shout one word. "AQUA!" I extend my right hand above the flames and a blast of soothing cold water erupts from my palm, quenching the fire and my fear while soaking my pants.

I lower my leg, looking at the seared skin and missing fabric on my pants. I reach gingerly for it only to wince and pull away in pain. "The things I do to help." I mutter, trying not to move my leg and looking up at the dragon accusingly. "This would not have happened if you would have kept your space from my backside." I dejectedly shake my head, bending my left leg in and holding my right leg with both hands, the red and irritated skin being around my calf, not having travelled up past my knee yet. "I hope this is not a serious burn, it hurts like hell, Ngh!"

Killjoyrule:

I stop my curious nosing when I notice the flames. I make a startled sound trying to find some way to help franticly. I take a deep breath when I realize you had stopped the fire in relief. My relief was short lived though when I realized you were not fireproof as I thought, looking sadly at the burn, my tail drooping in shame the second I hear you scold me.

After looking at the wound for a bit I feel that energy in my mom had told me was dangerous to play with. I felt so bad for you that I felt like I had to try and help. Before you could try and stop me I looked down on the wound and took a deep breath before releasing it, the gas now tinged with a golden hue of energy. As the energy touched your skin it healed it slowly, removing the wound but it had a very nasty side effect on me. I was still very young and not at all strong yet, the healing sapping my strength rapidly, unable to control how much power I outputted with how little discipline I knew. Soon I passed out cold on the ground with a loud thump and a whimper drifting into blackness.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I stiffen when the dragon comes near me, prepared to tell it to leave me be, but stop when it breathes a golden gas onto my wound. It does not sting and has a cool breeze to it as it heals my wound before passing out with a whimper. I look at where the burn used to be, only seeing pink skin. I gingerly touch it, not feeling any pain or discomfort. I then carefully move my leg, raising it up and down, bending it with no pain still.

I lower my leg and look at the sleeping dragon, a few tears coming to my eyes as I smile. "Stupid dragon; you surely must be a hatchling then if you passed out from using energy. At least that says you have energy. And I should teach you how to control it, even though Quin Shun is teaching me how just the same." I sigh; looking over to spot the meat I had thrown a few feet away. I turn to watch the dragon sleep, the sun slowly setting as the day winds down. "Thank you...dragon." I say, moving to stand up, gently stomping my right leg on the ground to make sure it is ok.

I look around, arms crossed at my chest, wondering what to do. Quin Shun might know what to do, but the dragon would probably be scared when it sees him. I...I could provide it with more food, but that would mean I would have to leave it while it is unconscious, I think, walking slowly towards the dragon to kneel beside it. I stroke the scales on its flank, moving its right wing to rest on its back more comfortable, definitely feeling how malnourished it is.

I stand back up, walking away a few feet before looking back. "Be safe." I mutter, saying a few words of protection, defense wards that Quin Shun taught me. Minor, but able to allow me to escape if I meet someone or something that means me harm. I place them around the dragon before running off, stopping at a tree to locate some more food for my new friend. It takes me forty five minutes to gather another buck, an Elk, and an antelope. The trip back while carrying the animals to where the dragon is exhausts my energy. Sweat roles down my faces as I sit down on the stump in front of the fire and breathe heavily.

Through the weeks of training Quin Shun has trained me in endurance, increasing my energy so I can do more tasks. My hair is matted as I wait for the dragon to wake up, placing my kills near the dragon. Giving a small smirk, I think to myself how Quin Shun will react when or if I tell him I found a dragon.

Killjoyruel:

** ** After a long wait I finally wake up. I whimper out as a massive headache affects me and I feel generally weak all over from what happened. I look up to notice you sitting on a stump near the fire you made. I lift my head and crawl slowly over to you, giving a little purr licking even amongst my pained state. The wind shifts to me, bringing the scent of the kills to my nose, making my tail wag ever so slightly as I get up and make my way there nearly falling over a few times. I work on the antelope with quite the appetite even taking time to crunch the bones for the nutrients in it as I eat. Soon I finish what I can and make my way back to you, resting my head in your lap and purring deeply, feeling a bit better after eating.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I try to calm my breathing, focusing my thoughts and using the techniques that Quin Shun taught me. I barely feel the lick the dragon gives me, only concerned with recovering my breath right now. When it comes back and rests its head on my lap, I open my eyes and look down at the dragon, keeping my mouth open to slow my breathing. I do nothing for a while, just staring at the blue scales, the horns, the detail and weak state it is in.

I close my eyes and smile, lifting my left hand to gently place it on the dragon's neck. The wind blows through the forest, rustling the trees and my hair, drying the sweat off my face. "Now, if only you had a name I could call you by instead of dragon." I whisper to myself, opening my eyes to look up into the sky as the sky gradually darkens, the bright blues turning into navy blue and light pinks and oranges. "Such a pretty sunset."

_If Quin Shun were here, he would have made me do some training again, and I have no idea how he will handle this. He is reasonable, extremely patient with me when I mess up and a very good combat instructor. I probably might be able to handle that black hooded girl if I see her again, but I would not count on it._I look down again at the dragon, moving my left hand up and down to stroke its soft and warm scales, contemplating various things on how my life has changed even further. "And I still do not know whether or not you're a male or female."

Killjoyrule:

** ** I look deeply into your eyes and purr, enjoying the wind on my scales. My tail smacks the ground when I feel you rub along my scales making my eyes close in bliss. I wished so very much that somehow I could just talk to you, yet nothing got through to you. And I didn't understand you back. It was just kind of unfair but I accepted it, at least now I had a friend. And that mattered a lot to me so much more then he could know.

For once someone actually cared about me besides my mom had and I wanted to follow you everywhere I could. Not that there was much you could do to stop me from following, I had my own streak of stubbornness.

StarLight Nova:

** ** All I do is watch the dragon purr and swish its tail in content, occasionally looking around to just take in the view of the forest around us. Now would be a good time where I could meditate, but the dragon might want to know what I am doing. _Sigh, it's hard to communicate between two different species. It would be so much easier if I could just find out by..._I stop everything I am doing. I still my hand, open my eyes wide and look into the darkening sky. "Could...Could I possibly do that?" Why not? Dragons are naturally telepathic, conveying images, sounds, and colors to say what they want if they cannot speak.

I look back down at the dragon, watching it look back at me as it feels me stop stroking it. Mind as well give it a shot, I think. Taking a deep breath and nervous gulp, I open my mind from the defenses that Quin Shun has taught me over the weeks for shielding my mind, concentrating to extend it to touch the dragons. I have no idea what it will feel like, but I will know it when I find it since it is the only other living thing in close proximity to me.

I send my consciousness in the direction of the dragon's mind, focusing my thoughts and sending the simplest questions I can think of. "What is your name?" I say telepathically, displaying me with my name above it, then picturing you and showing a blank line. "My name is Colby Daniels; it is nice to meet you."

Killjoyrule:

** ** I am busy just relaxing until I felt a sharp stab of pain hit me as my minds defenses were attacked. Soon I dropped the defenses, the pain too great just in time to hear what you say. "Wha... what? You can speak like me!" I say in the same way, stunned with my whole body going rigid. "I...uhh never had a name...My mother fell asleep and never woke up... I'm so glad that you can speak like this though, I didn't understand a thing you said before, just that you were really nice to me." I lick, purring happily.

StarLight Nova:

I smile at the dragon, but frown when it says that its mother never woke up. I did not know if it was going to be able to reply, but at least we can communicate in some way now. "I am truly sorry about your mother young one. I will do what I can to care for you, but you must know I am in training to become a Protector. I must return to Quin Shun before night time or he will wonder where I have been." I reply, the thought beginning to dawn on me of what the voice sounded like.

It sounded like, a female. So, that slit I saw was..._I shiver slightly, returning my attention to the dragoness in question, burying those thought at the back of my mind. _She seems nice enough, small, underweight, yet caring and lovely just the same, I ponder, smiling as I continue to stroke her neck scales caringly. "I can give you a name if you want." I say telepathically, a little concerned that the name I choose will determine how she acts, but I dismiss it when I know that even though dragons take pride in names, sometimes not, that she will be who she is now and won't change.

Killjoyrule:

"That would be great! And about my mom, that was a few years ago. I feel a bit better now. It feels so good when you do that though." I purr loudly, nuzzling into you as you stroke my scales. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I was just wondering why you had no tail." I give an apologetic whimper remembering what had happened. "Also thanks. I have never had a friend before you. Can I come with you; I don't want to be alone again?"

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile when she purrs, pushing against me in affection. She then explains why she was prodding me in the back, and it amuses me to think she would think I am a dragon, even though that would be cool. "I don't have a tail because I am not a dragon. I am a human." I reply, increasing the length of my stroking to cover more than half her neck. "I do not hold you responsible for that. Quin Shun would have set me on fire or made me douse something with water sooner or later in training." I say, chuckling as she reminds me I have to get back to him sooner or later.

I nod slightly when she says I am her friend, but stop stroking her neck and lower my head, contemplating what to do. If she does come with me, then I would have to explain to Quin Shun where I found her. I do not know if he would make her leave or let her stay and continue my training. I sigh in defeat, shaking my head before responding. Looking into her eyes, I place my left hand beside her muzzle and my right hand on her snout, rubbing it back and forth a little. "Yes you can come with me, but I must ask you to stay within the forest so I can talk with Quin Shun. Depending on what happens, you may have to wait until dark and I will come to you, or he will allow you to stay with me. I am not making any promises, I am just saying." I explain, looking up into the sky again to see night approaching fast. On the way to my cabin, I could think of a name for her then, I think to myself.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I wiggle in delight at all the affection you were giving me with the rubs. Soon I hear everything you have to say, my mind curious about Quin Shun. "Is he nice? He doesn't sound that nice." I say a little worried if he would get mad at you for telling him about me. "I don't want you in trouble because of me..." I nuzzle your hand after I finish and lick it.

StarLight Nova:

** ** "Don't worry," I say, smiling again when she licks my hand. "Quin Shun is my teacher, he is a very nice person, I just don't know what he will say when I tell him I found a dragon. Either way, I will have to tell him about you sometime. Mind as well do it now." I reply, preparing to get up by setting my hands on the stump, waiting for her to stand up. "Besides, if he is willing to let you stay, and I have no doubt he will because he would not turn you away, then he can teach you how to control your energy."

Killjoyrule:

** ** I stand up and shake myself free of any dirt before looking at you. "Ok I really hope your right. And my mother told me that I shouldn't use my energy unless it's a dire situation. She said it's more potent than most creatures and if overused can very likely kill me then help me." I say a little worried. "I'll try to learn it though! I don't want to pass out like last time again if I need to use it." I purr waiting for you to be ready.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I nod my head happily, standing up to walk a few steps towards the three kills I brought for her. "You need not worry about it; I have been using my energy for a long time," I respond, looking straight ahead into the forest with my arms by my sides as the shadows lengthened and the sun dipped down behind the trees. "Quin Shun has taught me how to control it; focus and concentration are the most important when using it," I say, turning my head to look at her before starting to walk in the direction of the dead animals.

I kneel down, placing my right hand on the ground and breathe out slowly, muttering a preservation and warding spell to keep them from decaying and fending off unwanted scavengers when we leave. Standing back up I turn to look at her again, pivoting my whole body this time. "For me it is inevitable I have to use it. There is evil in this world and that is what I am here for, to fight and defeat it," I pause, raising my left hand to clench it into a fist and close my eyes. I wait a few seconds before lowering my arm and opening my eyes.

"Patience is also another virtue that Quin Shun has taught me early in my training. As 'my' energy probably won't kill me but cause me to be unconscious, the length depending on how much I overused it." I explain, turning away to walk into the forest and to my cabin, more than sure that the dragoness is following behind me. I wait awhile before speaking again, thinking about some future issues and troubles but more concerned as to what to do with the dragoness behind me right now. "Quin Shun also has energy; he is a master of it if I had to say since I have no one else to compare myself to. He will not let either of us come to harm from using it, that, I swear to you." I say, walking past the numerous trees while listening to the distant calls of the birds and nighttime predators.

Killjoyrule:

"Ok then. I do hope he likes me. I'm not too good with others." I follow quietly after you, looking into the night sky and wondering if there were any other dragons left. It was sad to think I might very well be the last one. And even if there was other dragons what's to say if any of them would ever like me enough to fall in love. It was a constant worry in my mind every day, feeling the need to keep my species alive but knowing there was next to no hope of that happening. Once I heard about you having an evil to fight it made me shiver a bit, remembering one of the last things I heard my mom say. Something about an evil being nearby... my pace quickened after that from my nervousness.

StarLight Nova:

I nod but do not respond, content to listen to the sounds of the forest as I think of a name for the dragoness behind me as well as what is going to happen in the coming months. I have not seen Anea since I left the hospital, and I have a sneaking suspicion that that female in the black cape is up to something. My training with Quin Shun is most definitely going to come into great use when I have to face her or her minions again. Now with a dragon by my side, things are becoming complicated. I know Quin Shun will accept her and most likely train her with me, but what will happen if I need to go away to fight evil? All I hope is Quin Shun will Protect her while I am gone.

The time goes by fast with the sky darkening quickly, the distance to my cabin lessening with every step, and I still have not thought of a name for her. It has to be something she will like, something prideful. I don't know many dragon names, only having heard the ones from Eragon. Tessiean? No. Zara? Maybe not. Salewen? Definitely not. Caelestis? Rykhel? Raesa? I sigh in frustration, slapping myself in the forehead just as I walk into a tree, falling back onto my butt again. "Damn it!" I shout out loud, pounding both my fists into the ground, keeping my head down. I shake it, trying to clear the pain away as I look up at the tree and curse.

I sit there for a few seconds thinking of nothing before I get up, setting my right hand on my forehead and mutter a few words to dull the pain. As I can think once more, a thought jumps to my mind and my eyes widen, and I know that she will love it. I turn to her, troubles and fears forgotten in the instant as I know what her name will be with my hands at my sides and a big smile on my face. "How about... Rheria?" I question, ready to tell her the other names I came up with if she does not like this one.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I follow you quietly before noticing you smacking right into a tree and fall, causing me to let a sharp eeping sound before I rush up to you, licking and nuzzling. I stop when you get back up and lay still thinking before smiling back. "I love it! Such a pretty name. Now don't be silly and get yourself hurt, that's the last thing we need." I nuzzle your chest purring before getting back up ready to go.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile happily, glad that she took to the name. "Rheria it is then." I reply before continuing to walk back to my cabin, nervousness building inside of me. The wind eases me but my movement is stiff, my face straight with my hands calmly by my side. _What 'if' Quin Shun does not allow Rheria to follow me or stay? What will I do then? Would I consider leaving to be with her? I couldn't, I already committed myself to Protecting Earth and anyone on it while fighting evil. I just...I just hope he allows it,_I struggle with myself, shaking my head to clear away the bad thoughts.

I stop suddenly, a large open field in view with my cabin a ways off to the left and Quin Shun meditating on the ground to the right the same distance away. I breathe in steadily, looking at Quin Shun and his staff lying by his side. I turn my body around to address the newly named dragoness on what is going to happen. "Rheria, I want you to stay here and I will go and talk with my teacher. I will tell him that I found a dragon and about you. If we go inside my cabin, the wooden structure to the left, I do not want you to follow me. I will come get you soon. Be calm, and don't be scared." I explain, holding my left hand with palm out for a few seconds before turning and walking past the last trees and bushes to go towards Quin Shun, head held high and arms calmly beside me.

Killjoyrule:

I nod before waiting quietly in a corner hidden from view. I wish for him to accept me so I can stay here with you not knowing what I would do without the friendliness I was receiving from you, being generally scared for myself. This was basically my last ditch attempt at a good life.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I walk confidently towards Quin Shun, seeing his hands on his knees and eyes closed in focus or concentration. When I reach him I stop momentarily, hesitant on what to do, but continue to walk forward and sit down in front of him, waiting. I do not know how long it takes until he talks or what time it is, but when he does he surprises me like he always does. "How are you feeling now young Protector?" Quin Shun asks, casually opening his eyes and resting his posture.

I open my mouth and lean back slightly before responding, composing myself neatly. "I am well master. A bath at the waterfall did me good as well as a stroll." I reply, nodding my head respectfully.

"Good good, then we can get back to your training tomorrow morning." Quin Shun says, grabbing his flaming staff before standing up.

I follow, rising up as we both walk to my cabin with Quin Shun leading the way. I look over to my left at the spot where Rheria is hiding until the time I call her. I turn my head back to look past Quin Shun to my cabin, now more fully equipped for long duration living quarters. Once he had taught me how to materialize objects, training me with a pendent until I could do it with me own energy, my cabin had just two beds, a bathroom with no plumbing and a missing T.V. not yet built. Of course I had a storage of food downstairs; one half various candies, the other a variety of canned food. Since then I had materialized the plumbing and shaped my bed into something comfier with Quin Shun's help.

Quin Shun stops at the front door to my cabin, placing his staff down firmly in the ground on his right side. I almost crash into him, wondering about what he will say when I tell him about Rheria, but he beats me to it. I back up a few steps to look quizzically at him, waiting for him to say something or continue inside.

"When will you invite your friend inside Colby?" He says, surprising me again, causing me to stumble back and nearly fall down again.

"H-how did yo-you know?" I ask shakily, watching as Quin Shun turns around to look at me. If I did not know better, I would have guessed he had sensed her the moment I came back, maybe even before that. Besides, he is a master at using energy and sensing it as well.

"I sensed a surge of energy inside the forest that felt unique besides your own. I could only figure out what it could be since I have a companion like her of my own." Quin Shun says, smiling.

"A-a companion of your own...like her?" I stutter, straightening out and turning to look in the direction Rheria is hiding. Quin Shun never said he had a companion, or that it was a dragon.

"Yes," He replies. "All Guardians have a companion or partner of varying species. They grow with us, learn and bond. And I would very much accept it if you could call her over here. It will be good to show you how to bond with another with energy." Quin Shun explains, also looking over to where Rheria is hiding.

I lower my head, thinking for a while about what he said. Companions working together, bonding and growing. Wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. Besides, she won't leave me anyway. I just don't want to drag her into this whole...mess, I ponder to myself, looking up to see Quin Shun watching me. I nod my head before closing my eyes and open my mind to send it in the direction where Rheria is.

"You can come out now, he knows you are there. He has a companion just like you and wants me to be with you. I can assure you he is nice, and most likely can talk to you too, but probably won't without mine or your permission." I say, opening my eyes again before telling Quin Shun she will be coming shortly. "I have to warn you though; she has no parents and is shy around strangers. She is also malnourished, her mother most likely not having taught her to hunt before passing on. I have three kills for her out in the woods where I protected with my energy." I explain, turning to look in the direction of Rheria to watch her cautiously emerge from the woods.

Quin Shun smiles, nodding his head in understanding. "Have no fear that she will be comfortable around me. It is good you took to feeding her. And if I had to guess, she passed out from using her energy from whatever she did?"

"...Yes," I answer after some time. "She thought I was a dragon, wandering why I had no tail. I was cooking some meet she offered me from the first kill I made from a buck. It caught fire and I burned my right calf and that is when she healed me with a golden mist. And her scales, a bright blue the same as her eyes." I ramble on, watching as she gets closer, the cabin about 50-75 yards away from the forest.

I do not see Quin Shuns eyes widen, his fluffy white eyebrows shifting from his facial expression. His long beard that reaches the ground, tied in numerous amounts of ribbon swings back and forth as he thinks to himself. _Although the dragoness thought him to be a dragon, I believe that is exactly what he is, as the white aura that is around him when he flies is in the shape of a dragon,_Quin Shun smiles, welcoming the small dragoness forward.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I slowly make my way over still very cautious. But soon I reach a nearby tree before I peak my head around curiously to see a strange man that very much interests me. He looked unlike anyone I had ever met so odd yet ... not. It was as if he had been made from the earth itself fitting so well into the surrounding world. I rush over to you after a bit of gathering my confidence, nuzzling and licking you while speaking in your head "I was soo scared you would have to leave me! I would have not known what to do... Maybe even died." I continue my over eager assault on you, licking every inch I can reach in relief.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile when Rheria approaches, looking at Quin Shun carefully. I stumble back again when she starts nuzzling and licking me, telling me how scared she was. I open my mouth in an unsure grin, moving my arms to hold her while calming her. "It's ok Rheria, I would never leave you. And I don't think dying would have been necessary." I reply, patting her with my right hand behind her head, scratching roughly until she calms down and backs off long enough so I can regain my composure.

I breathe a sigh of relief, lifting my right arm to scratch the back of my own head as Quin Shun introduces himself. "Hello there dragoness. It is nice to meet you. I can assure you that I mean you no harm." He says, swinging his staff in front of his chest to take a small bow of respect. "You are welcomed to stay here as long as you want, but seeing as how you are attached to my apprentice Colby here, I kindly ask you let him train with me when he needs to so he can become stronger. I can also train you so you can learn how to use your energy more efficiently, Hmm?" Quin Shun asks, resuming his straight posture while speaking.

Meanwhile I kneel down next to Rheria, putting my left arm carefully around her back and over her wings to calm her while Quin Shun speaks with her. I place my right hand on her chest, moving it around gently as I wait for her to respond.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I smile back, holding myself close and purring to every bit of affection I receive. "I'm so glad you are here for me..." I say quietly, my tail wrapping around yours before I stare at Quin Shun. "Thanks for letting me stay. I don't know what I would do without your apprentice. He's everything to me now." smiling widely I nuzzle Quin Shun and purr. "And I would like to learn how to use my energy so I can help Colby. I want to help him with whatever he has to do."

StarLight Nova:

** ** Quin Shun chuckles when the dragoness nuzzles me, spreading his arms wide as he looks at me for clarity. I smile and say that she said she thanked him for letting her stay and would like to learn how to use her energy to help me with whatever I have to do. "Why of course little one, it is my pleasure to help you learn. Although it will take some time before you can assist Colby in his job as a Protector, but I will see to training you properly on how to use it." Quin Shun says, turning to open the door to my Cabin.

I rub Rheria's chest a few more times before standing up to follow him, looking back and beckoning you to follow me. Inside my cabin, Quin Shun walks towards the wall with the T.V and sits down facing the opposite wall with his staff on the floor to his right, still in flames. I come in and stand next to the wall of my bedroom near Quin Shun. When you enter, Quin Shun addresses you. "Now, young dragoness, sit in front of me, and I will tell you how we will go about your training.

Killjoyrukle:

** ** She does follow smiling to herself at how well this all went, her tail swinging in delight. Soon they reach inside the very well made cabin and she looks around in obvious delight at the new surroundings. I sit down in front of Quin Shun and listens intently. "How can I understand him? I don't understand a word he's saying yet... I do somehow from you."

StarLight Nova:

** ** Hearing Rheria question on how she can hear Quin Shun, I frown, telling him in hopes of finding out how it is possible. "Ah, yes, that is something special," Quin Shun says, looking at me then at Rheria. "I have a companion who is a dragon like you, although he is not here right now. His name is Ailadan. As for how you are able to understand me, I bet you, Colby, have formed a bond with her, although it may be weak right now. And through that bond, you are able to understand me through Colby." Quin Shun explained.

"I guess that makes sense in a way. Since I know what you are saying, Rheria knows what you say." I reply, leaning against the bedroom wall.

"So her name is Rheria? That is a nice name for her, very befitting," Quin Shun says. "Now, for your training, I will have you first start off with meditation. You must have a clear mind and know what your goal is before you can use your energy." Quin Shun says.

Killjoyrule:

** "** Ohh ok. How many dragons are there left, there seems to be so little in the world I thought I might of been the last one. And I would like to learn how to meditate. Colby was the one who named me; my mom wasn't there to name me. She fell asleep and wouldn't awake at all." I said repeating the story of what happened to my mom.

StarLight Nova:

** ** Quin Shun falls silent and I lower my head, neither quite wanting to sadden the young dragoness. Quin Shun then looks at me and I catch the movement of his head and sigh. "There are no dragons on Earth Rheria. There myth, fantasy. Until now, everyone thinks of them as stories." Colby says sadly out loud and mentally to Rheria.

Quin Shun nods, adding something about his dragon. "And Aidalan is not on this planet. I am a Guardian, and so I and nine others reside somewhere else in the universe with our companions. I have lived long enough to where I can feel his emotions all the way from here, but not communicate. I...am sorry young one." Quin Shun says, watching to see her reaction.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I sit there a bit stunned and blinking a few times before tears form in my eyes. "But... I can't be the last one... my mom had to have had a mate, what about my father? I..." I break down right there crying wishing I was not so alone... at least I had you.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I jerk my head up when you start crying, rushing over to calm you. I kneel in front, wrapping my arms firmly around you and whispering soothing words. "It is ok Rheria, I did not mean to upset you. I am sure your father is still out there somewhere. I...I am sure Quin Shun will help look for him." I say, looking back over my shoulder to watch Quin Shun think.

Meanwhile I lean my body tighter against you while laying my head against your neck, rubbing my left hand up and down the base of your neck with my right hand holding you against me. Quin Shun closes his eyes for a while, listening to me calm you mentally and to your sad tears before he speaks. "No training tomorrow. Take some time to settle down. I will leave to try and find your father, 'if' he is still alive. I set no guarantee though. There are many a men on this world that would want to capture and study a dragon. Colby, since she is attached to you, calm her down as much as you can. Take her back to the waterfall and heat up the water as some training while I am gone." Quin Shun explains, reaching to take his staff before standing up.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I just lay in your grasp, hugging myself tightly to you as a means of comfort. Over time my tears lessen but never really stop, my sides aching from sobbing. Soon though I just relax into the grip feeling sad that my race was likely doomed to die out with me, but your words do help to comfort me as I realize that maybe, just maybe everything would be all right as long as I had you with me.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I look up and nod as Quin Shun opens the door and walks out, going back to comforting Rheria as she cries. I sooth her for what seems like a long time before she calms down, relaxing in my grip. "Let's get you to bed." I whisper, positioning myself on your right side to pick you up.

I bring my left hand down near your tail base and my right hand around your neck. I gather my energy, remembering how I just exhausted myself not too long ago. "Rheria, stand up a bit would you please on your hind legs?" I ask kindly, showing a mental picture of what I am planning to do.

When she moves, I clutch her neck against my shoulder, bringing her head over my back while holding her rear against my body. My knees buckle as I struggle to maintain enough energy to strengthen my limps to hold you. I breathe in and out calmly a few times and lift up, carrying you over my shoulder. I then begin to make my way towards my bedroom, luckily the door is open as I do not have any need to close it, and enter.

Once inside, I lean forward, gently letting go while making sure to keep your wings and tail out of the way as I set you down on your back. After I let go, I rub my forehead and breathe heavily, walking over to the left side to sit down on the bed beside you. "It will be all right Rheria, you always have me. I will never leave you." I whisper, leaning down to scratch her neck.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I do move my legs a bit for you feeling myself being lifted off the ground and into your warm embrace. I watch as you walk us to the bed and set me down before sitting down next to me. I stop crying after a bit of your scratching. Looking up at you I give a little yawn wrapping my tail around you. "I love you..." I say quietly as I drift off into sleep.

StarLight Nova:

** ** My eyelids droop lower once I settle next to you, not hearing what you said. My mind is fuzzy from the use of energy over the day, especially carrying a dragon to bed, how bizarre. I flop onto the mattress with my head on the pillow next to yours, wrapping my right arm around you, careful of your wings. I gradually drift off into sleep, my dreams vivid and alive as if I was floating in the sky. Quin Shun walks through the forest on his own, stopping at a tree to converse with his companion. The pair exchanges sights, sounds and colors, each knowing what they mean. Quin Shun then nods his head and walks off, midnight fast approaching.

Day soon emerges, the sky bright and the birds singing. In the middle of a forest in a cabin sleeps two figures, one a human and one a dragoness. As the world continuous, oblivious to what is happening in Russia; they sleep peaceful in each other's embrace. I am the first to wake up, blinking my eyes tiredly while yawning. Quin Shun usually wakes me up early to start training, so why is he not today?

My question is soon answered as I open his eyes to see a light blue dragoness sleeping in my bed beside me. Memories come rushing back of yesterday of how I met her and that she might as well be the last of her kind. I squeeze my right arm lightly around her before carefully getting up without waking her. I walk out of the room and into the kitchen, feeling that something is missing.

While I scratch my head, I open the refrigerator and look blankly inside, trying to remember what is could be. A brief image flashes in my mind of me getting undressed near the waterfall, and how I put my staff next to a rock. I promptly close the door quietly and bang my head once against it. "Stupid." I mutter before walking out the door with my gray robes on, having slept with them on through the night.

As I walk outside, I look up at the sky to see a beautiful day shining. I then start running towards the direction of the lake to retrieve my staff. Once I grab my staff, I jog over to where I put the ward around the three kills I had made for Rheria, thinking she might be hungry again. Probably having gone a few weeks with minimum food, I should feed her as best I can so she can still grow strong and develop the muscle she lost.

When I reach the spot, I see that the buck, Elk, and the antelope are still in good condition, preserved with my spell. I look over too see the stick with meat on it is missing, some scavenger having come and taken that away but not able to penetrate my ward. I kneel down and reach out my hand near the Elk and say, "Virtutem animus affero, Steel knife." It soon materializes in my hand and I cut off generous slabs off meat on the Elk to lie beside me, doing the same for the Buck and antelope.

Sitting back, I look at my bloodied hands and leave the strips of meat inside the protective ward and go to the waterfall again to wash my hands, coming back to use magic to transport them back to the cabin. Carrying about thirty good sized slabs of meat, I come back to the cabin and stick twenty of them inside my mostly empty refrigerator, putting a spell on them to make sure they don't get everything bloody.

I turn back to the counter and pull out three pans to place the ten slabs of meat on, setting the rest aside for now. I turn on the heat and let them warm up, switching places with the others until they are all ready. I then turn off the stove and place the meat on the ground near the table. Finally sitting in a chair with my staff on top of the table, I sit back and relax for now, everything having taken about an hour and thirty one minutes. The sun is still barely up, probably six or seven o'clock right now so I just lean back and think.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I slowly wake up to the scent of fresh meat and a warm comfortable bed underneath me. I remember all that happened and just who's place I was in but one thing feels distinctly different..... I felt off... my scent smelled sweeter overnight and I felt a very uncomfortable sensation between my legs, that urge for something. And I really had no clue what as I stood up, looking underneath me and the bed to see a stain on it that smelled very sweet and potent. Shaking my head and just assuming it was my body being strange as I walked out to where the chair was to see you relaxing. Not wanting to disturb you with the new strange problem I quietly make my way to the meat and start eating from it, being quite hungry as was predicted and eager for the warm food to wake me up.

StarLight Nova:

** ** When I hear Rheria walk out of the bedroom I open my eyes to watch her begin eating. I smile, breathing in slowly as she quickly gulfs down the meat. I straighten myself, placing my hands on the table and look at my staff, contemplating what to do for today with Quin Shun gone. I remember him suggesting I take Rheria to the lake to give her a bath, and I thought that might not be a bad idea.

As I was about to get up to tell Rheria the same thing, I catch a whiff of something strange. I sit still and try to figure out what it could be but come up with nothing. The scent seems familiar to something I smelled when dreaming last night. I shake my head, dispelling the thoughts for now and stand up as Rheria eventually finishes her meal. "Why don't we go to the lake so I can give you a bath? It will be good to wash your scales and it will be relaxing too." I say to Rheria telepathically, picking my staff up to head towards the door. I look back at Rheria before proceeding outside and walk in the direction of the waterfall with my staff on my back.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I lick my lips before noticing what you said and replied. _"That's a good idea. I feel off today, maybe getting clean will help. How was your sleep? I had a decent night's sleep."_I follow behind you, very worried about the feeling between my legs and just how... wet it felt down there.

StarLight Nova:

"It was good, thank you for asking." I reply to her question, smiling as we walk through the trees, the wind blowing gently past us. I turn to look at her before asking a question of my own. "And what exactly feels off? Are you sick? Is something hurting?" I ask, looking back up to weave through the trees. "I want to know so I can help you get back to being a strong dragoness as you should be, tall and proud."

Killjoyrule:

** ** I thought for a bit how to describe it before replying. "It feels weird between my legs. As if I have an uncontrollable heat there and a need for something. I smell different too." I say continuing towards the water, giggling at how you asked.

StarLight Nova:

** ** "Oh?" I reply, tilting my head but not saying anything else as we continue walking. I think about what she said in the meantime, about how her scent changed and having a strong heat between her...legs. My eyes go wide but I keep walking, doing my best to not let my surprise show as I blink my eyes a few times.

I do not want to think about it right now, which could only mean that she has gone into heat, from what I have read on websites and fantasy books of the...erotic kind. Can't say I am at fault, I find dragons fascinating. Yet, would I go that far? I shake my head, the same scent getting into my nose again. After some time we arrive at the waterfall and the noise drowns out any scents. I walk over to the same rock I had deposited my robes before and start undressing, again.

First I place my staff in front of the rock, making sure I do not forget it this time. I then take off my robe, setting it atop the rock before taking my shoes and socks off. From behind, Rheria could most likely see my back and the muscles that flex as I bend over. I straighten out to take off my pants and underwear, setting them next to the rock too. I lean from side to side on the balls of my feat, feeling the soft grass below while rubbing my hands together in preparation. With nothing on, I step back a feet or two then take off running into the lake, jumping up high as I enter the shore and splash down into the water.

I resurface away from the shore, shaking my head to clear my eyes of water while dragging a hand through my yellow hair. I then turn to face Rheria, unashamed of my nudity...for now. I raise my right arm and wave. "Come on, the waters fine." I call over both verbally and mentally, leaning back to dive under the water and roll, continuing towards the center of the lake before resurfacing again.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I watch you undress a little too eagerly, everything I see making that heat ever so much more noticeable. When you go into the water I soon follow jumping in with a splash before swimming up to the surface next to you. I smell your scent making me purr. I realize just how... handsome you looked, making me blush under my scales and I subconsciously get closer to you, our bodies touching. "The water feels so good on my scales." I say quietly.

StarLight Nova:

** ** "Yes, it does." I reply, feeling Rheria's scales against my body. I do not make any move to swim away as I do not mind, placing my right hand on her neck to start rubbing her scales, cleaning them at the same time. I place my left hand on your right shoulder, messaging the muscle there, feeling your soft scales while keeping afloat.

It takes awhile but that same scent comes back, and I realize it is coming from you. Before I can react, my body goes still, my hands still moving across your scales, but my eyes glaze over. Something within my mind rumbles, wanting to come out and take the dragoness in front of me. My blood rushes to my member, causing it to become erect underwater. I can feel my energy flowing all around me automatically, tension growing all over my body.

My left hand begins to travel down, listening to the whispering voice in my head but a branch cracks somewhere in the forest, loud and clear. I blink my eyes a few times and shake my head; stopping my hands and swimming back a few feet. My breathing had increased and now I try to calm myself, looking at Rheria in front of me, watching me quizzically. I can feel my member under the water, and so I smile, grinning from ear to ear. _"How about a game Rheria? Try to catch me."_I ask telepathically, diving underwater and swimming towards the waterfall just as I finish speaking.

The water flows seamlessly over my body, the cool temperature causing my member to shrink by the time I arrive at the waterfall. I surface and look back, seeing if Rheria is chasing me. I smile again and dive back under, going down further to the lake floor, skimming the bottom while using a sliver of my energy to swim faster. The beast within my mind, whatever it is, recedes back, waiting for another time to emerge.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I feel you start to rub me making me release little purrs as I relax in the water next to you but soon feel you stiffen and back off, making me look at you curiously, your scent rather enticing to me. As soon as you mention a chase though I jump at the opportunity for fun, racing after you, my tail propelling me at a rather fast pace and my heart rate rising as I get excited. Soon I'm near you but you where just a bit faster to my frustration.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I laugh as I see Rheria at the waterfall after I pop up near the center of the lake again. The cool water calms my thoughts as I wave over to her. "Rheria! Over here! You got to try better than that to catch me!" I say telepathically, turning around to swim casually back to the shore. The presence in my mind tries to come forth again and makes me stop. I place my right hand on my forehead and briefly close my eyes, a wave of nausea passing over me. Before I know it vanishes and I look around, shrugging before continuing on to the shore.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I yip out excitedly, chasing you as fast as I could swim. When you stop it gives me plenty of time to rush forward and grab onto you, giggling in your head. I rapidly lick you and nuzzle. "Got you!" I purr holding onto your back.

StarLight Nova:

** ** When I have gone no more than a few strokes forward, I feel a heavy weight on my back. I hear you giggle in my head, claiming you caught me as I start to sink. I extend my arms in their limited range with you hanging on to me, trying to keep myself afloat before laughing back. "Ok, you got me, now, can you let go please or you might drown me."_I request, feeling her scaled chest rub up against my back and cause my member to twitch faintly. _"Not that I don't mind, but I do not have your tough scales and you would rub my skin raw after a while even though we are in water."

Killjoyrule:

** ** I giggle some more before releasing you. I start swimming around you excitedly, my whole body wiggling in excitement. "Your fun to play with, any other games we can do? Its helping keep my mind off all the odd feelings I'm having."

StarLight Nova:

** ** I turn around a few times as Rheria circles around me, suggesting another game and that it keeps her mind occupied. "Well, I do not have much in mind, but...how about we see how long we can hold our breathes. The one who does so the longest wins." I reply, treading water instead of trying to keep an eye on Rheria. I wait for her to stop in front of me so we can begin. "Ready? One...two...three...Hold!" As soon as I finish, I take a deep breath and dive under the water, minimizing the movement of my hands so I can concentrate on holding my breath.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I watch as you go down under the water and follow, holding my breath and sitting as still as possible to minimize oxygen use. Floating in front of you I slowly flap my wings to keep me level and stare at you curiously wondering if you would outlast me.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I close my eyes to calm my mind, feeling the water being pushed past me as Rheria uses her wings to keep stable. My time meditating has allowed me to focus and get past all the distractions that could enter my mind, though I doubt I am experienced enough to stay under longer than a dragon. My mistake is when I open my eyes, starting from that slit on the base of her tail to her muzzle. I look right and left to get my mind off of it before staring back at Rheria after I have calmed down. Looking into her light blue eyes relaxes me as I continue to hold my breath.

The next mistake was not mine at all, as somehow that scent I smelled countless times earlier is noticed by me 'through' the water. I inevitably glance down to see how her slit is slightly puffy from obvious need and want from being in heat. My initial response is to breath but I know I can't or I will lose the game. In a few seconds, that presence comes back to the forefront of my mind while I continue to gaze, snatching my senses and causing Rheria's scent to be much more intense.

My eyes widen and I bend forward as if I was punched in the gut underwater. I open my mouth but immediately close it, instead breathing through my nose but getting the same result. I quickly bring both my hands up to my face and cough violently underwater, air escaping my lungs as bubbles scurry upwards. That presence strengthens and I am able to feel a natural raw instinct to do something...to...breed. I twist and turn, shaking my head as I am frozen in place, trying to push the feral presence back while I should be swimming up for air.

To Rheria, my unknown draconic scent would have increased substantially than the trickle it was when I was unaware of it before this. As my struggle continues, a faint white luminescent aura can be seen around me shaped like a dragon, following the same motions I make. It flickers off and on erratically, being refracted by my thrashing and the light coming through the lake. My member hardens instantaneously, throbbing painfully while leaking pre-cum.

I open my eyes that I did not know I closed and look around frantically as the air in my lungs runs out. I back peddle underwater and then turn around, swimming up towards the surface and shore. I grab for my energy and increase my motions, reaching the shore in no time while surfacing and breathing in a large breath of fresh air. My feet hit the floor and I propel myself forward, stumbling onto the grass before kneeling and coughing up water.

As I hack and shake, trying to get air into my lungs at the same time, the feral presence fades but does not vanish. My member loses its steam and goes to being semi-erect while I am dripping with water. Having awkwardly stumbled out of the water, the small rocks and sediment leave my knees and shins cut up but the pain is insignificant to the confusion I am feeling.

A few minutes pass as I finally get my breath back, slowing my breathing and opening my eyes once again. I stare at the grass, reaching around in my mind to try and find that feral presence that interrupted me. By now, the flashing aura of the dragon has stopped since I resurfaced out of the water. I cannot find the presence as it evades my search, so I give up for now and just rest.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I watch you quietly resisting the urge to purr out. Floating there I start thinking about how... good you smelled to me making me all excited inside. The only downside in my mind was just how much you made my crotch feel like it was so very hot.

I start to worry as I see you react very strangely. The worry turns to panic when you breathe in water making me rush over to try and help, swimming right next to you with fast strokes. When you start back peddling I follow but the scent of your pre makes me wild with need rushing to the surface to breath. I then follow you to the shore, my whole body needing to breed and barely stop myself from jumping you right then and there. I manage to suppress my instincts long enough to ask "Are you ok? You're hurt!" I rush over to nuzzle and lick you desperately trying to ignore my own sexual needs.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I can hear Rheria voice her concerns but it feels like my mind is hazy and she is far away. When she licks me I come back to myself somewhat, shaking my head and leaning back on my legs still kneeling. The pain is ignored as I try to rationalize what is happening, from the first time she said she felt off, to the scents I have smelled to the presence in my mind. None of it made sense but, now it does. I always felt like I was a dragon somehow, and I know I might not be one but I can feel how it might be like when a female is in heat.

The scent I have been detecting must belong to Rheria as there are no other dragons around, so that means she must be less than just a hatchling and more of an adult. Her size confuses me, but that only makes her compatible with me to do, what I think I want to do with her. The presence in my mind grows stronger, coming forward as it feels I am accepting what is happening. The white aura of a dragon briefly flickers around me once, sitting on its hind legs and staring at the ground, mimicking what I do.

It is only for a second, and my draconic scent increases even more as I smile. Since I have dreamed of being a dragon, possibly even mating with a dragon, it is a wonder come true. Even though I did not quite hear what Rheria said, her words echo in my mind. Are you ok? You're hurt! It sounds exactly like her. The presence in my mind rumbles, agreeing with me, moving forward to increase my senses again, enhancing my hearing, vision, my touch, taste, and smell.

The aura of a dragon flickers again, and my member grows hard once more, throbbing to the beat of my heart as I address Rheria. "Yes Rheria, I am fine. These scratches don't hurt. They will heal soon enough. I think..." I pause, still staring at the ground but having straightened my back with my hands resting on my bare thighs. The cuts on my knees and shins heal without me having to do anything, my affinity for nature automatically healing them. "I think I can help you with your problem, if you want." I reply, turning to look at her concerned figure, raising my right arm to gently brush the side of her muzzle.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I stare in wonder at your form as the dragon outline shows. "How.... how do you have... a dragon like form around you?" I get closer to look at you and sniff around your scent making my sex all that much needier. When you say you are ok I hug myself to you and purr. "I'm so glad you're ok. You were drowning... and I want help with it, anything to make it stop." I purr deeply rubbing my cheek along your hand as you rub.

StarLight Nova:

** **"A dragon?" I question out loud when Rheria moves forward. Somehow, I can understand her when she is talking normally, but the presence in my mind tells me how I can. The confusion with the form around me dissipates as my own need grows and I lean to the right, moving my right hand to the back of her neck and bringing my left arm to hug her around her neck. I let go a few seconds later and stand up, looking around before walking a few steps forward to the rock where I placed my clothes and turn to face Rheria.

"Come here." I say, displaying my rock hard erection with pride, all eight inches of it throbbing in the wind while drops of pre-cum leak from it. I clench my feet under the grass, shivering slightly whenever a breeze blows by but the intense sensations I feel cloud my mind with lust, a want to take this dragoness in front of me like a mate should. I have no doubt she is a virgin, and I know we will both love it.

Killjoyrule:

** **"Yes, a dragon." I purr deeply, my wings wrapping tightly around into the hug. I lick you before following to where you were sitting curious. Making my way to you again I rub alongside you purring at your scent, my sex wet with my need. "Now help me..."

StarLight Nova:

** ** I chuckle at your display of affection, breathing in deeply to get another whiff of your enticing scent. My eyes do not glaze over this time and the presence in my mind rumbles again in eagerness. I raise my left hand and place it on your snout, telling you to stay right here standing up. I then move forward, circling around to walk behind you to see your hind legs and engorged sex. I do not move for a while, my eyes widening as my dream comes true.

Smiling, I walk forward and kneel down in front of your dripping sex, raising my arms to place them gently on your hind legs. I can feel your scales are warmer than before, practically smoking at the rise in temperature. The detail of your scales is wonderful; I can feel every bump and line in them. I then gradually move my hands inward while rotating them in small circles to tease you, eventually getting to the outside of your sex.

I bring my right hand closer, kneading the virtually indefinable scales around your sex, watching in fascination as your slit moves, opening marginally so I can peak inside. Knowing this kind of stimulation is not close to enough for you, I bring both of my hands so that my thumbs are touching over your slit and press down, steadily applying pressure while pulling them apart. I can feel you shaking in pleasure, your muscles twitching in need as I spread them as far as I can, looking deep into the depths of your sex, seeing the red cavern of undulating walls with strong and versatile muscle.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I stand still, wondering what you would do but very soon realize. Feeling the soft skin across my smooth scales makes me purr in delight. I notice the rubbing getting closer and closer to my slit causing shivers of need to run along my body, my slit leaking now and my body warming up as it prepares itself. When you pull apart my slit I gasp out loudly shaking more and more fluids leaking more freely now, my sweet scent reaching my nose, but along with that scent I smell yours, moaning out to both the stimulation and the scent. All of this causes me to release small moans and pants. My tail moves around to where it can rub along your back as you do this.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile as I hear you pant under my administrations, keeping your sex spread open wide but not digging in to touch your sensitive walls. I feel your tail curl around my back, allowing me better access to your sex as I leave it stretched open, watching as it leaks copious amounts of liquid. I continue to breathe in deeply, reveling in your sweet lust filled scent as the presence in my mind rumbles in agreement. My member throbs, wanting to enter your no doubt hot vent, to thrust inside and release my seed, but I know that waiting will make it all the more worth it.

I can see your wings flutter at the edge of my vision but I am distracted as I see your clitoris emerge from its hiding. I move so that I keep your sex open with my forefinger and thumb of my left hand as I move my right hand up to fondle your clitoris, pressing down slightly while wiggling it back and forth to watch your reaction. I continuously increase or decrease the pressure on your clit, seeing what actions bring the most noise out of you as I slowly move my left hand left and right to stimulate your slit as well.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I wiggle in delight feeling your hands move around my sex more, causing my moans to rise louder and louder in volume. When you touch my clitoris though it causes me to move my head back in a longer more sustained moan my claws digging into the ground below me. It felt so pleasurable... I never had felt something more ... perfect. This just felt right to be with you and not just with anyone...no; you were the one I had come to love in multiple ways. My tail rubs more and more as you please me and a deep purr joins the moaning.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I enjoy watching your reactions to what I do to your body, but I know I should not keep you waiting forever. I pull back, leaving your clit and letting your slit close again. I don't take but a second to lean forward, placing both my hands outside your moistening sex again and drag my tongue laboriously slow across your slit from bottom to top. I can taste your tantalizing flavor, lapping up your delicious fluids as I repeat the action slowly, drawing up to nibble lightly on your clitoris, hearing you moan and shake from the pleasure.

I continue for a few minutes, licking from your sex and nibble on your clitoris, smelling your ravishing scent and feeling your smooth scales. The presence in my mind grows impatient and the aura of the white dragon flashes around me again, sitting in the same position I am with his muzzle licking your slit. My scent vastly increases again, my member continuously leaking pre-cum and throbbing painfully. This time though, a very faint outline of the white dragon remains as the rumbling grows louder in my mind which only I can hear.

I stop nibbling on your clit but continue to lavish your sex with deliberately slow strokes of my tongue, bringing my right hand up to push my thumb on your clitoris again. With my left hand I move it to just outside of your vent, not yet having penetrated it with either my hands or tongue. Now I start to put pressure behind my strokes, parting your sex while pushing two of my left fingers into it as well to keep it open. I can definitely feel the heat coming from you now as I continue to lap up your juices as my tongue probes deeper into your vent while I increase the pressure on your clit.

After all this stimulation, I can begin to feel your vent pulse weakly in the beginnings of a climax. I smile as best I can in this situation and press down on your clit harder, igniting constant jolts of pleasure while leaning further against you, my face pressing against your sex. I stick out my tongue as far as I can, twisting and turning it rapidly to smother your vent as much as I can, bringing you great pleasure.

Killjoyrule:

** ** My moans continue as I feel your tongue doing such amazing things to my slit, forcing me to shake in deep bliss. My juices drench your face as I leak and your scent only makes it worse. Every time I feel you nibble on my clit I gasp and shudder at the feeling. I feel the start of my first ever orgasm, enjoying the penetration of your tongue into me, my warm wet walls clamping down onto it tightly instinctively. I feel so close to orgasm soon before roaring out as I do so, my walls clenching down as my fluids gush all over your face violently, shaking every second to the intense feelings.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I pause my actions as your first climax erupts, your vent squirting copious amounts of liquid onto my face. I slurp up everything I can, but some of it dribbles down my chin to my chest. I continue to aggressively put pressure on your clitoris to prolong your ecstasy, seeing your tail hole clenching rhythmically at the same time. A few minutes pass by and I wait until you stop shaking, proceeding to breath heavily out of experience of your first orgasm. I then pull out my tongue, causing some shivers from you as I move my hands away, letting your slit close with fluids plastered all over your hind legs.

I wait a few seconds before patting your scaly rump with my left hand. "Ready to continue?" I ask, smiling happily as the presence in my mind causes another image of a dragon to flicker and disappear, the white aura growing stronger. My lust grows as my member seems to strain outwards, extending a few inches in length and girth. It is my turn to shake in pleasure as my balls churn with volatile seed, waiting to be injected into the dragoness in front of me.

After I receive an answer, I do not stand up, but place my hands near your sex and slick scales. I spread them open again, inhaling deeply to appease my lust and the presence in my mind. I turn my left hand up so that the palm of my hand is on your sensitive clitoris as I hold your slit open. I bring my right hand next to your open vent and push one finger inside, wiggling it around to arouse you further. I can feel your velvety walls, the way they pulse and contract occasionally as well as the heat you give off. I plunge in deeper up to my knuckles, adding a second finger and then a third, curling them and dragging them slowly against your walls.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I shake in the afterglow, panting from the intense orgasm I just had with my tongue hanging out. I feel the wetness on my scales, my slit still feeling needy for seed. "I'm... ready for more." I say after a bit feeling my breathing regulate. I gasp when I feel my clit being pushed on. I let out a tiny squeal when your hand reaches up to the knuckles in me, the stretching a little surprising but my body was build for large objects, so it does not hurt much. I continue moaning every time you drag your fingers along my walls clamping down in them.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I steadily increase my pace, pushing more of my hand further into your vent, adding one last finger so everything except my thumb is inside your wet vent. I remove my left hand, watching your clitoris shake as the presence in my mind grows stronger with every passing second. The lust in my mind makes all my senses hypersensitive, causing my member to squirt pre-cum while growing bigger and wider. I then decide to lean forward, placing my mouth directly on top of your clit before sucking on it.

I eagerly watch you writhe in place, shaking in ecstasy as I give you as much stimulation as I can, placing my left hand firmly on your tail to push it back further so I can have better access to your sex. The presence in my mind makes the image of the white dragon flicker and disappear again, only this time it happens every minute or so, the white aura building up as my desire to take you rises exponentially. My member always seems to strain forward, growing inch by inch as my balls grow in size too, filling with virile sperm to impregnate you with. Every time the dragon flashes, my senses seem to heighten, my tongue lengthens and my member throbs harder than before, soaking the grass in my pre and some of your vaginal juices.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I moan and roar out as I feel your hand in me touching every sensitive nerve my sex has to offer. Shaking when you remove your hand I give a sleight whine when I feel you lift your hand off my clitoris but soon it's replaced with more moans as you suckle. My sex leaks juices all over, my scent rising impossibly stronger in strength and my panting starting up again. I smell the pre clogging my senses as I feel such bliss it nearly makes me pass out.

StarLight Nova:

** ** By now the aura of the white dragon can be faintly seen at all times, the presence in my mind rumbling louder as it persists I stop and take you. I push back since accepting my feelings for you, arguing that it will happen soon enough. In the meantime, it continues to lengthen and enlarge my member, bringing me to the edge so I almost climax then and there, the pressure on my shaft becoming too much.

I decide to give you one more release before I take you properly, plunging my four fingers in and out of your pulsing vent as fast as I can. On occasion, I brush up against your hymen but do not push past it, increasing the suction around your clitoris, firmly nibbling on it while bending your tail back even more. I push my tongue out to press against your clit at the same time, enjoying the flavor of your fluids immensely. I can feel your vent start to spasm and contract rhythmically in another orgasm. As well as thrusting frantically in and out, I curl my fingers to scrap the top of your vent, searching for your g-spot while shaking my hand back and forth to further increase stimulation.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I groan, feeling your fingers every little movement sparking another bit of bliss. Every time you nibble on my clit it causes another gasp to exit me. I soon feel another orgasm sneaking up on me, my sex clenching on and off in anticipation. I don't have to wait long before with another loud roar I release my fluids again this time more than the last climax. The grass below us gets wet and drips pre and fluids from me.

StarLight Nova:

** ** When your climax comes I can barely move my hand so I just continue to wiggle it around while sucking hard on your clitoris. I can feel your muscles contracting uncontrollably around my fingers, squirting rivers of vaginal fluids past my hand and onto the grass. I pull back after a few seconds; raising my hands to see them covered in your fluids before licking them off, almost purring as I enjoy the taste. The aura of the white dragon around me stops turning more tangible, my member reaching 11'5" with a girth of nearly 5 inches.

After I have licked off my hands I look up to see your hind legs covered in your juices. I do not bother to clean you off as well as we will only be getting messier. I stand up, feeling the added weight of my ball sac weighing me down, having grown to the size just below a baseball. I walk around, taking time to observe you as you breathe in and out, flanks rising and falling while your tail falls down after a wonderful orgasm. The aura of the white dragon follows my movements, walking on four legs instead of two while towering a few feet higher than you. Once I come to stand in front of you I kneel down, taking your head in both of my sticky hands and gaze into your light blue eyes.

The presence in my mind rumbles happily, the aura of the white dragon swishes its tail and it feels almost as if I had a tail, the feeling like a phantom limp. After a minute or two I lean forward, opening my mouth to kiss directly on your muzzle. My heart thumps loudly in my chest as my energy invigorates me, the aura of the white dragon starting to turn silver while my skin hardens to that of dragon scales. When I pull back I look deep into your eyes and into your soul, feeling strong emotions coming from within me. It builds up until I can't stand it, the tension and compulsion causing my energy to raise dramatically, my scent taking on more of that to a dragon's than a human's. "I love you too." I whisper, smiling before pulling you back to kiss you on your muzzle again, pushing my tongue out this time to press against your lips.

Killjoyrule:

I moan as I feel your hand pull out, liquids spilling out from the lack of an obstruction. When you walk around my eyes widen as I watch the aura of the dragon, a loud purr escaping me. "I love you.... so much. You're beautiful." I nuzzle into your kiss, purring deeply at the scent, my maw opening for your tongue as mine explores your mouth.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I move my hands to touch your neck, rubbing up and down lovingly as our tongues curl around each other, exchanging saliva. The aura of the silver/white dragon raises its front paws to do the same, spreading its wings wide as the kiss lengthens while balancing on its hind legs. The presence revels in the contact, gradually merging into my mind so that I can no longer feel it, but know that it is instead me. With the ability to partially control the aura around me, I pull back, looking into your eyes one last time before standing up and smiling.

"Are you ready?" I ask, walking around to face your swollen and engorged sex once more. While I walk past you, the aura of the silver/white dragon brushes up against you, the feeling not exactly physical, more of a warm breeze. When I arrive at your swollen sex, I can feel the last bit of the presence in my mind increasing my scent substantially before vanishing, melding entirely into me. I walk up to you, reaching out to hold onto your tail and bend it over your back, my shaft constantly dripping pre-cum and throbbing in anticipation as the wind blows by, making me shiver.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I look deeply into your eyes and smile widely. "I am ready...my mate." I shiver at the strange feeling of the aura and pull my tail back with you. The cold wind passing by me hits my sex, making me shiver feeling the need again to be filled with your loving body. "I'm the most ready for anything then I have been in my life love."

StarLight Nova:

** ** I nod my head, the aura of the silver/white dragon copying the move. I take a few steps forward, reaching down with my right hand to grasp my member, grunting at the immediate pleasure that runs up my spine. It feels hypersensitive as I lean forward, prodding your engorged sex a few times with my member, coating the tip of it in your fluids while holding your tail back. I press it up against your clit, pushing forward while trailing down, partially spreading your sex with the tip of my cock.

I then let go of your tail and move my left hand down to push it into your swollen sex with three fingers, pulling out to smear your vaginal fluids onto my shaft. I continue until I can't stand it any longer, leaning back while raising my left hand to hold your tail again. I widen my stance, gripping my member and pushing forward to slowly part your sex, taking everything I have to not just thrust right into you. The pleasure that rushes into me excites the aura of the silver/white dragon as it thrashes its tail back in forth in eagerness.

As I push forward, your sex begins to widen until the head of my shaft pops in, just the tip stretching you similar to when I had all three fingers inside your vent. I stop, breathing deeply to keep my composure steady before pushing forward again. As more of my member enters your vent, it widens as well, sending enormous jolts of pleasure into me. My balls churn with sperm, multiplying as they wait. By the time the tip of my member touches the fleshy barrier of your hymen, I stop, barely 1/3 of my shaft having penetrated into your sex. I look up, breathing long, deep breathes to keep myself from thrusting all the way in as I wait for you to confirm you're ready to continue.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I wiggle a bit, feeling the member prod at my sex but soon stop. Feeling it begin rub in my juices I moan out at the friction of the thick member rubbing along my smooth sex. The thickness surprises me at first when you start penetrating me, gasping and giving a sleight whimper at the size but the pain dies out after a bit when you reach a third way in. I take the second to get use to the cock in me. "I'm ready... breed me."

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile lustfully, leaning forward to indent your hymen before pulling back, preparing to thrust into you. I shuffle my feet, feeling my shaft throb hungrily to be plunged inside your wanting vent, waiting to accept my sperm. The silver/white aura of the dragon around me rumbles inside my mind, holding your tail with its left paw as well. The anticipation of the wait gets too much and I thrust forward suddenly, hunching over your body, bending your tail as the rush of sensations that run up my body temporarily stun me.

I plunge in until my hips and balls meet your haunches with a slap, shaking your frame, my cock tip abruptly breaking your fleshy barrier and continuing until I spread your cervix to enter your egg chamber. All 11'5" of my shaft is now buried into your warm and pulsing vent with your cervix straining pleasurably around my member as it throbs, shooting pre-cum into your egg chamber. I crack open my eyes as I bring both my arms to rest against the crook of your hind legs, my fingers with unusual strength digging into your scales, looking to see how you were fairing. The pleasure that is being sent into my brain makes it so I cannot move right now but I eventually recover, straightening out with about 9" of my shaft inside your egg chamber.

I can't stop shaking, the silver/white aura of the dragon around me baring its teeth, its own hips right up against yours with its arms hooked in the same position as mine against your hind legs. Its tail thrashes wildly behind me, unconsciously controlling it as I wait for both of us to calm down. Streams of blood ease past my shaft in rivulets and run down your hind legs. I extend my mind, wrapping it around yours so I can share the love I have for you. I had been barely able to wrap my thumb and index finger around my shaft at the tip, now all of it is inside your vent, stretching your sex wide while my stomach presses up against your clitoris.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I shake as you prepare to thrust into me. The second you do I let out a loud roar in pain my whole body going rigid. I feel the blood leaking from my sex as I whimper, my whole lower body feeling as if it's on fire from the penetration. When you wrap your mind around mine though it helps a bit to calm my frantic shaking, feeling just how much you love me helps reassure me that it will be all right and the pain had started to die down a bit some of the pleasure noticeable again.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I reposition my arms so that my hands hold onto your flanks while I shift. I send soothing emotions across our strengthening link as I get ready to thrust into you. The silver/white aura of the dragon opens its eyes, pulling back in the same motion I do until something stops us. My cock tip hits your cervix again, a strong jolt of pleasure racing through my shaft as I tug harder, the muscular barrier refusing to yield. I then widen my stance, innately drawing on some of my draconic power and pull back again, the pressure on my cock tip rising as it pops out, causing me to squirt more pre-cum into your vent to loosen your passage.

I start off slow, thrusting forward and then back, setting up a nice rhythm that both of us can get used too. Your tight walls around my shaft send spikes of pleasure up my spine while my tip presses up against your cervix every time. They message and ripple around my shaft, pulsing as the aura of the silver/white dragon grows stronger once more, my skin hardening so that your scales don't rub it raw when I slap against your wet haunches every time. My mind is in bliss with every inch I move, the dragon rumbling contently as our connection strengthens as time goes on, our emotions, thoughts, and feelings passing between each other seamlessly.

After some time I begin to pick up the pace, feeling that we both want more, the need rising in both of us to climax. Every time my hips meet your haunches, my stomach compresses your clitoris while I hear your moans and grunts become louder. It seems to me my shaft grows again, lengthening so that 10" of it is always outside of your vent as my cock tip bumps up against your cervix. The aura of the silver/white dragon begins to shine; radiating raw power around me as my changes speed up the closer I come to my climax.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I whimper a bit longer but soon the pain dies down, leaving me in bliss again only a small part of pain worming its way in my mind. I take comfort in the love I feel from you and as you start rutting me properly I pant and moan. My sex tightens and clenches at every opportunity each second I feel my climax getting closer and closer. My body yearns for release as I hold my climax back as hard as I can to do it at the same time you do. Through our connection I feel your bliss it compounding with mine to provide a very unique experience.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I close my eyes and clench my teeth, the aura of the white dragon doing the same but now it seems to shrink in size. I increase my pace, thrusting vigorously into your warm vent while my skin hardens, forming patterns to that of dragon scales. My member seems to grow even more, hardening as well while expanding, my balls regressing inside but do not disappear as my scales travel up my body. Our bond quickly strengthens as the aura of the silver/white dragon shrinks, appearing to regress back inside of me. Cracks can now be heard, not even painful as the world of pleasure coming from my changing shaft widens your sex further while poking at your cervix more insistently.

My feet shift, losing the pink skin and glowing bright silver as the scales come through, eventually crawling up my legs and thighs. They morph into digitigrade paws with my big toe moving up my foot as the aura of the silver/white dragon vanishes into me, raw energy starting to flow around me as my changes pick up. My spine lengthens while joints pop as my neck reconfigures and my face pushes out. Next my arms and hands change, turning into paws while new muscle grows, making my biceps bulge and thighs stretch under my new scales as well as my chest and abdomen. As this happens, I speed up, thrusting further into your vent, pushing past your cervix as my shaft changes as well. It loses the pink color of the rest of my skin, turning a crimson red while my cock tip changes.

My climax swiftly approaches as my member becomes really sensitive as your vent contracts and pulses around it. An intense pressure both at the end of my butt and on the top of my head grows as something erupts from both sites. The raw energy that surrounds me increases as a tail grows from my butt, silver and scaly like the rest of my body. I now have to bend my legs slightly to keep thrusting into you at a reasonable pace, my tail swishing back and forth to keep my balance as a pair of horns shoot out of my now draconic skull while my pupils shift into draconic slits. My member continues to change next, a lump forming at the base of it while very sensitive ridges grow along the bottom, my mind immediately getting assaulted by a fresh new wave of pleasure.

It seems I will never get my release as my stamina improves, your vent gushing vaginal fluids as it starts pulsing and contracting rhythmically. As my new member finishes changing, my orgasm arrives but it feels like I can't ejaculate. Two new pressure points start out on my back near my shoulder blades and they soon turn into wings, stretching out and flapping a few times. Now that all of my body is covered in silver scales, my wings, horns, muzzle, tail, feet, hands and member now changed, my pleasure rises further than I thought possible. Our bond merges our mind so it feels like we are one as we are able to feel what the other feels. The raw draconic energy around me continues to increase, enveloping us both as my new shaft continuously squirts pre-cum into your vent while it widens your sex and loosens your cervix.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I roar out, feeling my sex being pounded fiercely, my body shaking like crazy in delight. I feel the cock in me change, the ridges rubbing along my walls and a new scaly feel to your touch. I can't see the changes but can feel them through your mind, amazed at what was happening. My handsome human was becoming an even handsomer dragon. I moan loudly, no longer able to hold it back as I climax all onto your thick cock.

StarLight Nova:

** ** When your vent spasms in another orgasm, I grunt, leaning forward while bringing my arms up so that my hands wrap around your flanks more firmly. The pressure on my new shaft becomes unbearable as my knot quickly swells, making it harder to thrust into you. I instinctively flap my wings to cool us down, the muscles still sore from the recent change as my tail lashes from side to side. My claws start to dig into your scales as I lean back and thrust in forcefully, my cock tip penetrating your cervix once again while engorging, acting as a second wall to keep my sperm inside of you. Even with my tip inside your egg chamber and my knot quickly inflating to lock me with you, I have more than enough length to retain most of my speed.

I begin trading long thrusts for short and intense, my sensitive ridges growing more prominent as my climax reemerges. I rock your frame every time my hips connect with yours, more pre-cum leaking into your egg chamber as my internal balls start to tense up. I bare my teeth, small flickers of flame shooting out of my nostrils and into the air. The raw energy around us increases again, growing with the intense lust and feelings. Soon after your vent stops contracting, I thrust into you one more time before stilling my movements.

My knot finishes swelling, stretching your vent and sex wide to keep any sperm from escaping. My ridges stand erect, digging into your velvety walls as my shaft throbs painfully while my internal balls rise up before the first shot of semen erupts into your egg chamber. I lift my head and roar, small lines of blood trailing down your flanks as my tail flags insistently, slapping on the ground while my wings quiver, semi-spread. The raw energy around us swirls into me, causing my pleasure to rise substantially, bouncing across our link so that you can feel it too.

After my roar dies I tilt my head down, moaning and panting heavily while still ejaculating into your egg chamber, your abdomen swelling as my sperm is trapped inside because of my cock tip. My ridges continue to stimulate both of us, my veins bulging out as my pelvic muscles contract rhythmically to push more semen out. My climax seems to last forever before it stops after eight minutes. My wings fall limp as my tail stops moving, my member pulsing weakly as a steady stream of sperm is still forced into your egg chamber.

I open my muzzle to breathe heavily and partially open my eyes, my whole body feeling numb as my knot deflates rapidly. The power I felt while mating with you disperses, causing the changes to quickly vanish. My wings, tail and horns regress into my body while my scales flake off, revealing my normal pink skin once more. My grip on your flanks loosens as I begin to fall back, totally exhausted from the surge in raw energy. My hands and feet change back to normal, my member shrinking down to its normal 6.4 inches while some of the sperm in your egg chamber seeps out onto your hind legs. My balls emerge from within my body, back to their original size as well.

I can't stop myself as I fall, mind going blank as my body refuses to move. All I can see is your tail before my head hits the grass with a few glimpses of the clouds above. My body is spread eagle as my eyes close and I continue to breathe heavily out of my mouth, unconscious for now. The only sound I can here is the loud rumble of the waterfall close by, all sensations leaving my body as I feel like I am in a void. Our connection is severed temporarily, weak but not destroyed. My heart still beats and the only thing I need is a lot of rest.

Killjoyrule:

** ** After I feel the knot start to form in me I pant out loudly, the thrusting driving me crazy. Soon it all becomes too much as I start climaxing, barely able to feel the pain of the claws digging into my own scales. When you push past my cervix it hurts a lot but the shared pleasure through the link allows me to forget the pain. I start feeling your cock throb before my egg chamber gets really really warm, the semen rushing into it making me moan loudly. After eight minutes of being tied to my partner I feel the tide start to lower, my chamber already feeling so heavy. When you fall I weakly manage to turn around to look at you, the grass getting drenched by the amount of cum leaking from my abused sex. Lying down next to you I hear your heartbeat, making me purr in relief, wrapping my wings around your once again human body to keep you warm before falling asleep myself.

StarLight Nova:

** ** Four pairs of eyes watch from the rafters of a secret government building, a crowd of spectators in rows of seats waiting for the president to address them. Two bulky men sit atop the rafters; two minions sent to obverse and relay any important information they found to their boss. One of them snickers, the one with white hair reaching over to smack the other in the back of the head, causing him to lean forward dangerously but he holds on with supernatural strength.

"Quit it Larry!" The man says, resettling himself for an optimal advantage point.

"Not before you stop goofing around Garry." Larry replies, glaring at his twin. Everything about them looks the same, black sweater, tan jacket brown pants, facial features and body structure, except for their hair.

"Ok ok! When is he coming, this position is not really comfortable you know." Garry responds, trying to maneuver into a better position but failing.

"We will stay as long as we need to!" Larry shouts, the spectators down below somehow aren't able to hear them or see them. "The boss said we need to find out what they are doing and possibly where that human is that she fought before he came to us. You know what will happen if we don't..."

Before Larry could finish his sentence, everyone stood up, the crowd mostly consisting of military personal and government officials. Three seconds later, a voice said 'welcome, the president of the United States.' A door to the left then opened, revealing a white man with white hair, black clothing and a red and blue necktie. He walks regally to the podium, followed by a dark tanned man and a tan girl that looked no older than twenty nine. The dark colored man was dressed in elaborate ash gray robes with small saber tooth tiger skulls on his shoulders. Elegant embroidery was woven around his robes as he came to stand beside the President, face a calm mask.

The girl was dressed similarly but in different colors. Deep blues and light greens flashed all over her robes, a multifaceted star adorning her chest that looked to sparkle a distant green; she two, proceeded to join the man who was her companion next to the president. The two minions on the rafters spoke no more, leaning forward to listen in on what was to be spoken, deciding what to do on what they heard. The President then cleared and thanked the people for coming.

"I welcome you all here, loyal citizens of the U.S." He started, a deep commanding and respected voice. "I will get right to it. This nation is under imminent attack by forces that would only be dreamt up in stories. In the last year, we have found a liquid that has extreme regeneration qualities, and is currently being tested deep in Alaska." The President explained, unknowingly giving away the information to the two flies above.

"The results are unknown right now, but it is theorized to possibly revive dinosaurs back from the grave since our enemy is using it." He paused, taking a moment to look at the gathered faces, not one of them showing surprise as they had obviously heard this before. "Now what you may be wanting to know is who are these two beside me. Well, this man and women are Protectors of Earth. They have informed me it is high time we get our act together and get ready to defend ourselves from a possible invasion from resurrected dinosaurs." He said, gasps and whispers flying through the crowd as they conversed with themselves on what to do.

"However," He continued, the crowd falling silent immediate. "These two say there are one more of them in training right now. Although he is out there, we are to go to the front lines to either eradicate this menace before it can begin, or defend what we can." The President concluded, raising a hand and stepping to his left to allow the man with the hood to speak. The crowd clapped lightly and stopped as the next speaker began.

"Thank you President Davion." The man said in a Russian accent as he took the spot at the podium, all listeners silent in anticipation. "This apprentice is currently in training," He said, Larry and Garry tense up, apparent they will get the location of the one who whooped their asses. "He was recently housed at the Boston hospital because of a fatal car crash that killed both his parents. He has been exposed to this regenerative liquid and has made a full recovery." He said, a round of clapping ensured and stopped shortly after.

"I, Paul Veraguard and my daughter, Anea," Paul said, motioning to his right. "Have monitored him since he came in. We are sure he is on his way to becoming a Protector, one of us. For that to happen, we must not let him die. For that, I am requesting that President Davion Goff send some men up to Harold Parker State Forest and secure the area," Paul explained, in which Larry and Garry looked up and gave each other high fives, pleased at the information. "Do not go into the forest, a higher ranking warrior is training Colby. While we help fight against the dinosaurs, please protect him, he may be our hope of defeating this villain. Thank you." Paul said, nodding his head before walking out with his daughter in front of him.

Larry and Garry quickly exit the building in the same means they came in with no one noticing, not even being caught on a video feed as the President concluded the meeting. "Thank you Paul, you have this countries help as you have helped us. Men, get ready, head out as soon as you can. We must make our plans while the enemy is preparing themselves." President Davion said before he left with two of his bodyguards.

Meanwhile, Larry and Garry were already far away from the building where the meeting had taken place and were ecstatic at the information they got. "Now we can get back that liquid the boss needs while taking out that kid at the same time." Larry said, both of them running on rooftops to a secret location.

"Yes," Garry replied. "It is wonderful. We will certainly be tasked with taking him out while the boss handles those two Protectors." Garry said, laughing after with Larry joining in.

Deep within Harold Parker State Forest however, one man and one dragon laid together on the shore near a waterfall well within the forest. The man, Colby had just come to terms and mated with the dragoness he had found near the very same waterfall that he had named Rheria. Her mother was dead and Quin Shun was searching for her father. Colby was not in fact resting, but unconscious after having brought forth some feral instinct deep within his mind that had changed him into an anthro dragon during the height of their mating.

The energy use was far too great for him, and now he lay void of any feelings but was healthy and spent on the ground with Rheria beside him, watching over him protectively. He felt like he was spinning in a big black space with no light. His body was ok, exhausted and need of some rest, but otherwise unhurt. Unknown to him, that partial transformation had awoken something buried in his blood. His scent is permanently changed to that of a dragons as well as his mind being rewired so he could think faster and make quicker decisions. His eyes were now draconic slits, giving him the sight of a dragon.

His parents are unknown and will remain unknown for quite a long time. Since he has accepted the responsibilities of becoming a Protector, his mind has been set on becoming as strong as he can to protect those he cares about. For the dragoness right beside him, he had created a unique link between them the first time he touched her snout. As the hours go by, the sun rising higher into the sky, Colby still sleeps, the birds still chirp, and Quin Shun still looks on. Hundreds of miles away, two minions reported their findings to their boss, and indeed, were tasked with dispatching him after some rest.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I sleep on for several hours, my body spent from our mating. My rest was not to last though as I wake up and shake my head looking around, confused. Suddenly it hit me, I remembered all that happened. I was now permanently mated to the one under my wings. Lifting a wing I smiled fondly at the unconscious boy. It was obvious to me you would be fine. Carefully moving away I make my way to the water, covered in the result of our mating to softly lay in the water, purring as it cleaned me off.

StarLight Nova:

** ** Time eludes me as I drift around in a black void, no sensations being picked up by my body while all I hear is the loud rumble of the waterfall. Memories flash by my mind, ancient and lost as I have no idea what they mean. My mind is a haze while the sun rises into the sky. After some time I can feel warmth spread all over my body like sitting next to a fire. It feels, nice and soothing, calming me in this desolate place, fighting off the cold. I continue to drift around for eternity until something washes away the fog around my mind; it feels...serene and smells of, nature.

My eyes flicker open as I try to wake up but the suppression is still there. The presence comes closer; sweeping away the weight that blocks my senses, clearing away the darkness to reveal light. I can think clearly once more and I open my eyes to look around, everywhere I see just as unending as the inky blackness before. A reassuring emotion moves into my mind, steadying my fear as I wonder why I can't move. I can feel a vast power radiating from far away, something primitive, no; old that stirs to make itself known to me. I push back tentatively in a question. Who are you?

There is no response for some time as sensations gradually come back to my body. I can feel I am laying down on something soft, the noise dimming in the background like waking up from a deep dream. Before my mind can wonder, it responds with another emotion and a picture of the vastness of space and unending life. I twist my head from side to side; trying to find where the presence is coming from but stop when I find it is useless so I stare up. I think for a while to find out what it could mean; going back to the ancient memories that zoomed past while I was in the darkness.

Happiness now emits from the presence, communication turning into a guessing game and in return it laughs, well, not laughs but, you get what I am trying to say. Next it pictures a dragon, tall and with strong silver scales on four legs while emitting a show of pride and strength in my mind. I frown, both physically and mentally as I am confused to what it means. The picture and emotions vanish to be replaced by two figures, clouded and masked. One appears to be a human while the other is a dragon.

I shake my head, not getting where whatever it is communicating with means. The presence slows down, seeming sad, lonely before perking up. Before I can console it, saying I am sorry, a bright flash of light appears directly above my head over my chest. I shut my eyes and scrunch my face as it dims and I peek out again. Once I know I won't be blinded, I stare at what seems to be a blue orb or flames contained in a sphere that moves like water. I tilt my head in confusion and the sphere of flames seems to shimmer, changing to bright silver before flaring down to blue. It then changes to white and then blue again. I shrug mentally, not getting what it wants.

Its emotions burst to make me cringe, my whole body tensing up as if something is attacking me. It only lasts for a second before a wave of soothing emotions comes into my mind again. Somehow, I can feel like it wants to give me something but I don't know what. I hesitantly accept and the blue orb changes colors again, fading to silver, then white, then to back to blue before changing to bright red while it falls to my chest. I do not squirm or even try to as it descend, feeling swaths of great energy emitting from the flaming sphere. It gradually sinks into my chest and I suddenly feel invigorated again, full of life and energy that is my own. The presence fades while I rejoice, my mind going blank as I fall into sleep again to soon wake up.

Killjoyrule:

** ** After I wash myself up I make my way to you quietly, nuzzling and licking your chest lovingly. I wondered how long it would take for you to wake up, your breathing giving away that your sleep seemed normal now. I hug onto you, my purrs loud and my body warming you to a very pleasant temperature. My egg chamber felt heavier and full, as if something formed in it whilst I slept.

StarLight Nova:

** ** My mind eventually comes to again, the sensation of rays of light shining down onto me while I lay on what feels like grass. I start to move, hands twitching as I try to open my eyes. Another mind reemerges into my consciousness and it feels familiar while I sense a large presence around me, giving off a lot of warmth. Memories start to come back to me as I remember where I am and why that mind feels familiar. My eyes snap open immediately and I try to move but a scaly body stops my actions. I pause to look around, staring at the clouds as the noise of the waterfall comes back to me.

I take in a deep breath and look to my right to see a scaly light blue head. "Rheria!" I shout, eyes widening while moving my arms and legs more insistently until I am sitting up in the exact place I fell even if I do not remember that part. My breathing comes fast but calm as I examine myself, seeing that I am naked with my member limp between my legs and dried cum on my thighs, memories coming to me of what I had done. I touch my chest to feel it slick and wet, turning to Rheria again in relief. "What happened?" I ask, feeling a cool breeze flow past, making me shiver slightly, causing me to wonder how long I was out.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I feel you moving to try and escape my grip so I oblige, moving my wings from around you. "You're awake! And you don't remember? You mated me and passed out shortly after."_I nuzzle wildly, licking and purring happily to be with you. My lower body was quite obviously bigger due to the aftermath of our mating. _"You scared me, I was worried." I lay my head next to you purring loudly, my tail thumping the ground excitedly.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I move my hand to try and deter your licking but give up soon after and rest my hand on your neck when you lay down, purring next to me. "No, well, I do remember mating with you, but I don't remember anything that happened after I climaxed," I reply, looking over to the lake and waterfall, images flashing in my mind of the games we played. The bond we share grows back stronger than before but not to where we can feel each other's emotions or sensations automatically. "I am sorry I worried you," I say, turning back to look into your eyes, feeling the love we now have for one another take root in my mind. "But I must ask, did you find it pleasing?" I question, moving my right hand up and down your warm scaly neck.

Killjoyrule:

** ** "I remember it feeling so goood. It hurt at points but when the pain ended it was the best thing I had ever felt in my whole life. It helped so much it doesn't burn down there. Although... there is a strange weight down there now, it's as if what we did left something in me." I purr deeply to the rubs nuzzling before relaxing on the ground upside down hoping for some scratches along my belly.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I smile as you say you liked it, rubbing harder as brief moments come up of when we were mating. When you pause and say there is something in your egg chamber that might have been left after we mated, I frown. Humans can't impregnate dragons; it is impossible for me to have made her gravid; I contemplate to myself, feeling her roll onto her back. I look back, turning my whole body so that I am facing her, watching her face plead me to rub her stomach.

I...this is not possible. She, she was in heat, and she is a magical creature, so...maybe they are unfertile_?_ I think to myself, shaking my head and inching forward while on my knees to place my hands on your stomach. I begin moving them around, looking down between your hind legs to indeed see a small bulge there. "I...I think your gravid with eggs Rheria," I finally respond, turning to look at her face, wings spread out and tail wagging in delight. "I am not quite sure, but it is a possibility since we are both magical in some way and you were in heat when I had sex with you." I state, pushing harder against your scales while feeling their detail under the palm of my hands.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I give a contented growl as you rub my belly purring. I giggle out when you rub across a very sensitive position, tickling me and making me swing my tail around. "Eggs? Are they.... really eggs? Maybe they will hatch." I perk my ears up in excitement sniffing along where your hand is.

StarLight Nova:

** **"I do not know for sure if they will hatch," I answer truthfully, looking back between your hind legs as I stop moving my hands, feeling you sniff one of them. "They...They might be unfertile since we are incompatible. I-it just does not seem right that two different species can produce eggs, one a reptile and the other a mammal even if they are both magical," I say, feeling guilty about dashing your hopes of being a parent. "I do want to have kids...hatchlings with you Rheria, I just don't think it is possible. It might just be that because you were in heat, your body produced eggs although they would be unfertile." I explain, turning to stand up and look around.

I spot my clothes where I last left them with my staff in front of the rock nearby. I look at your face one more time before walking to the shore. "I am sorry Rheria...I...I need to wash off. I think I may have lain in that position for too long." I mumble, raising my right arm to rub my neck, feeling my joints creak and wince on how sore they are, my guess is because of our mating. I wade into the water, soon diving down to swim forward a few feet before resurfacing. I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to leave. I feel so bad for saying otherwise, I think to myself. _Man am I a bad mate, if that is what we are now. Hmmmm...A dragon and a human...mates;_I scoff, but nevertheless embrace it as my love for her shows true. I relish the nice cool water on my body, washing away all the dirt and grime from lying on the ground for so long. I dip and turn, scratching all over my body to get the spots that don't wash off automatically.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I felt crushed hearing all of this, slinking off to a tree and laying down still shocked. After a bit the initial shock wears of as I start to cry to myself curled up in a tight ball. I had just ruined any sliver of a chance my species had. I mated with an incompatible love and bonded to him for life. My species mated for life soo... even if there was another male dragon it was over. But... I still loved my sweet one to death. I had to be there for him no matter how much I wish I could just curl up and die in my despair. Plus.... just maybe he was wrong... maybe they can be fertile. I continued to sob to myself just trying to let out all that emotion I was feeling and trying to hide it from you so you wouldn't feel bad, although it was pretty obvious.

StarLight Nova:

** ** I turn around once I am in the middle of the lake to watch you walk slowly to a tree. With our bond I can feel that you are hurting because of what I said, not daring to probe as it might make it worse. For now, I let you have some time alone as I have to think about what is happening myself. I dive under the water, kicking my legs to splash the surface as I swim towards the bottom, leveling out and twisting to head towards the waterfall. The sound is multiplied underwater and it sooths me, Quin Shun having brought me here to meditate for my training.

I surface right next to the waterfall, the drops that hit me sting but I block out the pain, swimming forwards to locate the smooth rock that I sometimes meditate on in front of the cave. I bring my hands up to pull myself up, my mind unfeeling like I was in that black void of nothingness. My face is passive as I lift my right leg up, yellow hair getting matted down by the torrent of water above me. My left hand slips, not paying any attention to where I place my hands as I fall, scrapping my right knee and plunging back into the water. The pain is immense as blood trickles out of the gash and into the lake.

"Fucking Shit!" I yell, closing my eyes and slamming both my fists down onto the surface of the water in frustration and anger. Unbeknownst to me, instead of small plumes of water being displaced by my fists, the whole lake rises up momentarily before dropping down.

I breathe heavily, trying to stay calm and regain my thoughts while fighting the pain. If Quin Shun wants me to endure pain, then here is that pain, I say shakily in my mind, not angry at him but at my mistake. My whole body shakes as it heals itself, the regenerative liquid eventually stopping the flow of blood and putting new skin over the area. After a few tense minutes I unclench my fists and wrap my arms around me. "So stupid." I whisper to myself.

I open my eyes and look at the rock, seeing the red bloodstain washing away quickly from where I bashed my knee. I swallow, uncrossing my arms and swim forwards again, placing my hands in a more secure spot and heave myself up again, turning to sit crossed legged facing out to the forest. I can see in the corner of my eye where Rheria is, but I let her be for now. I bring my hands together in the dip between my legs, touching fingertip to fingertip as I close my eyes and begin to breathe deeply, calming myself as much as I can.

Killjoyrule:

** ** I feel your pain through our bond after you hurt yourself, looking to see the lake rise and fall. I lay there still thinking of how sad it all was but I knew everything would work out. The second I had met you I felt like we were just meant to be together no matter what. I just never knew it would be like this.

StarLight Nova:

** ** My body stops shivering after I have slowed my breathing for about half an hour. All the events that have happened so far just make me either more confused or cause me pain. Finding Rheria, was like seeing myself as I was the only Protector I know of. Watching her try to hide in the cave behind me, I would never hurt her. Once her heat came, I admit it took some time to think through, but I am glad I made the decision to become her mate, even if I had to tell her the eggs she carries might be unfertile. I know I must give her time alone, I still can't quite remember what happened after I supposedly passed out when I climaxed. When I woke up though, I felt full of energy, like the entire sun was inside of me.

The waterfall pours down on me relentlessly as I meditate for a few hours. The sun starts to fall, the sky slowly darkening. Sometime later I open my eyes, feeling the water rush over my body. I carefully stand up before jumping back into the lake, swimming forward to resurface. I shake my head and clear my eyes, looking over to where you rest near a tree. My face falls as I tentatively reach out with my mind to connect with yours, pulling back as I make my way towards the shore while thinking of ways to saying sorry. Once my feet touch the ground I wade out of the water, drying myself off only a little and not even caring to put my clothes back on.

I walk straight towards you, shivering slightly as the wind picks up, the grass beneath my feet giving no comfort to me. When I am within a few feet, I crouch down, looking at your light blue scales, the detail they hold, your wings, tail, neck and head. I tilt my head down in shame and stand up, going the last few feet to sit down and gently lift your left wing and hung you tightly around the neck. My member still hangs limp, my hair wet and spiky in the afternoon sun.

"I am sorry," I whisper, holding you closer to me. "I am so sorry about what I said. I should not have made you sad. I am your mate, and you are mine," I continue, voice muffled as I press my face against your scales, the warmth gradually seeping into me. "I should be glad that you are gravid, not discourage you that they may not hatch. I am happy I impregnated you. I just could not believe it was possible. I love you so much Rheria." Tears begin streaming down my eyes, the occasional sniffle escaping me.

Killjoyrule:

** ** When you hug onto me I give a small purr in appreciation, soon I get really worried though when I notice you sounding so sad. "I love you my pretty one. Don't be so sad, I'll be all right.... I don't like seeing you upset." I give a little whimper at your crying. "Its ok sweetie, you are just being realistic... you're probably right too, I'll live on still though. I don't want you to feel guilty. I love you so very much to."

StarLight Nova:

** **"I don't like seeing you sad either." I reply, joining our minds together so that I can tell you how much you mean to me while tightening my grip. The thought that I even made you gravid excites me even if we may not be able to sire hatchlings. After a few seconds I calm down and release you, trailing my hands up your neck as I pull away to place them on either side of your muzzle. I stare into your eyes while I show you all my feelings I have for you before leaning forward and opening my mouth to kiss you.
