While the concept of dragonriders had existed long before the formation of the Legion, the idea had never actually been perfected. In the beginning it had seemed to be ideal, the power of a dragon under the restrained hand of a mortal would have been a weapon of great power. And when it came to this power, no kingdom could afford to hold back when the idea was proposed. If not them, then their neighbors would make the move, and no king would allow his realm to fall behind in the grand game of power.

The main flaw in the concept became readily apparent when the dragons were discovered to be intelligent. In all of the plans, all of the plots that were thought up, nobody had even considered such a thing. They were beasts in the minds of the scholars, so beasts they must have been, to be cajoled and punished like dogs and horses until they did as they were told. But despite their ravenous appetite for status and wealth, not a single dragon met the description. In fact, those that went to capture them found themselves outsmarted as much as the dragons were.

In response to this new information, the leaders struck a hastily made accord with the dragons. In exchange for a number of dragon eggs per decade, the kingdoms that could afford it would send tributes to the dragons. Those that sent more tribute would acquire more eggs, and those that sent less would have less. Warriors within the kingdoms would be trained and sent out to fight wars on dragonback, and thus the Legion was born.

It was a difficult process to bring dragon and mortal together. A rider must overcome the thought of treating his mount as nothing more than an animal, something that is deadly if the dragon figures it out. A dragon must overcome the need to be completely superior and direct the fight itself, to understand and allow the rider's orders to guide it. However, even at the highest success rates, roughly half of all riders fail while another quarter die in their first three fights. The pairs seemingly just unable to work together well enough to survive.

Though the process was flawed, the Dragonrider Legions swiftly became the measure of power in the land. The kingdom of Kessos in particular, perhaps the wealthiest of the many lands, nearly bankrupted itself with tribute to the dragons. In contrast, some of the other kingdoms like Remman and Woster, were scarcely able to afford a dozen dragons per decade. As a result they had to form alliances with other nations to strengthen their own, weaker core in fear of invasion. Those that could not afford dragons swiftly made further alliances with those that did, promising anything that they could bring to bear in order to have a guarantee of protection.

However, one kingdom may have found a way to perfect their Legion. In the land of Arcove, the higher ups devised and were secretly implementing a new idea on their trainees. The initial tests revealed a massive improvement in the rider/dragon cooperation, and the other nations were struggling to find out their secret. None of their methods had borne fruit though. What is known is that the Dragonrider Legion of Arcove has suddenly become the most unified set of fighters in the land, and the balance of power was shifting.

"Urgh, why do we have to go through all this paperwork just to get ourselves some mounts?"

The cheetah growled irritably as he spoke, slamming a fist against the wall he was leaning on for emphasis, a clearly frustrated look on his muzzle. It was something Zed always found amusing, judging from the half-smile that spread across his human features as he stood next to him.

"Calm down Justin, it's always like this. The process is so long and difficult because they want to match us with the dragon that best matches our personality and combat style. And you really shouldn't keep calling them mounts, they are no less sentient than the two of us. If you continue you're only asking to get whacked upside that spotted head of yours."

He put his own emphasis on the word dragon to get his point across about the subject, and not wanting the feline to get into any actually trouble from his attitude, least not any more than he already does. His speech however cause the cheetah to frown as he looked over to him, shrugging his shoulder in mild indifference before he leaned back onto the wall behind him, parts of his armor clanking against stone as he did so.

"Whatever, I just want this to be done and over with. It's already been three hours and all we've done is test after test."

"That's true, but we're already done with our part. The advisors are looking through the dragons' files to find the ones that would work best with us. You just gotta be a little more patient."

This time Zed was trying to calm his friend down some, knowing full well how hot-headed the slender male could be at times. The two had started out as rivals on the training fields, competing in every area of combat since they were both kids. But as the years went on, they had started to become more than just rivals, the two had found a close friend within one another as well.

"Yeah I know, it's just that waiting is a total bore and not my strong suit."

Justin slide down along the wall as he spoke softly, somewhat musingly, until he was sitting down on the floor. The feline looked up to his friend as his thin tail flicked about as he attempted to relax a little, unsure what else he could really do. Zed just smiled back as he remained in his standing position against the wall, turning his head to look back at the other riders and dragons that wondered about around them. The human always enjoyed watching how different rider-dragon pairs got along with each other, some of them walking side-by-side while other riders rode on the backs of their dragons. One such rider was someone he recognized slightly, she had been a former neighbor of his until she was assigned her own dragon. Zed watched as she rode by on her large purple-scaled partner, both of them talking amicably with each other.

Hmm, so she was matched with a poison dragon. That's not too surprising with how much she cared for that little garden of plants she used to have, he thought to himself, remembering how the weasel used to always be tending to the little plants she had in different spots throughout her apartment. Seeing her with his partner also cause Zed to think of something else, something he hadn't yet considered to ask about.

"Now that I think about it, I wonder what element our partners will have. You have any sort of preference Justin?"

"Hmm," the cheetah uttered as he looked back up to the human, finding Zed looking down at him questioningly. "well, not really. Although, considering I prefer to use my arrows at a distance, hopefully I don't get one with a fire or lightning attribute."

"Cause they'll end up destroying your attacks with their own right?"

"Heh, yeah. That'd just leave me with my sai which aren't too helpful in the air. And how about you Zed?"

Justin chuckled lightly as he spoke, smirking back up to his friendly rival, now wondering if he had a preference for one type of dragon or not. The human returned his smirk, giving a short laugh before he spoke.

"I think I could actually work with any of them really, just so long as they ain't hotheaded like a certain feline I know."

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, Zed quickly jumped to his right as the cheetah next to him suddenly tried to stab him with one of his sai, another irritated expression on his face.

"Shut it you. Maybe we need to have another match to show who's really better than who here. Then we'll be 33-32 in my favor."

Justin was growling now as he jumped back up and pulled out his other sai, twirling it around his paw before pointing both of the long blades at the aggravating human. However, Zed mere chuckled at his rival, and decided he wanted to rile up the younger male even more as they waited, and he knew the childhood nickname he had given the feline would do just the trick.

"This only serves to confirm my remark you know, kitten."

"That's it Zed! Come 'ere you-"

"Enough of this foolishness Mr. Alvaker."

The sudden gruff bark made both of the teens wince slightly before turning to see a large Tibetan mastiff, also dressed in armor, walking towards them with two dragons in tow. Zed turned and smirked to himself, looking over the three of them as they approached. The canine was wearing a different model of armor than the ones that he and Justin wore, one that was more defense-oriented in comparison to his own that favored strength or the cheetah's who specialized in agility. He also towered over both of the teens, and just one look at him made Zed think he probably weighed the same as both of them combined with how much his muscles were bulging out against the armor, thick black and brown fur doing little to hide the great physique. I would hate to get into a fight with that guy.

And the dragons that followed behind him were also an interesting sight for the new riders to see, both of them a different color, with the one on the left having emerald green scales while the one on the right had fiery red scales. Hmm, so they selected a fire and wind dragon to be our partners. Guess we'll just have to see who goes with whom now, and hope Justin doesn't have the fire dragon. Zed though with a soft chuckle as the cheetah in question sheathed his sai, before the both of them stood up a little straighter in front of the superior rider and dragons, out of respect and protocol.

"Alvaker? Well, guess that means I'm the lucky dragon who gets to be partnered with the feisty cheetah," the green dragon muttered off-handedly as the trio stopped before the teens, both of the dragons choosing to sit back on their haunches as the canine began to speak, looking down at the smaller males in front of him.

"That is correct Verdin. Now, I will let you all introduce yourselves to each other, but first I would like to introduce myself to you two boys. My name Damion Fredorn and I hope that you two won't be embarrassing the name of Dragonriders by continuing to act like that."

It was plain to see that Damion was particularly staring down Justin more than Zed, who he probably accurately viewed as the instigator to the brief skirmish. And so while the feline was busy squirming under the larger rider's gaze, Zed took it upon himself to begin the introductions, walking over to stand in front of the dragons. He smiled politely as he looked at the pair, bowing slightly before extending his right hand towards the red-scaled reptile in greeting, though he did glance over both dragons as he spoke.

"If the green one says he is Justin's partner, then I assume that you are mine. My name is Zedrick Duranhal, but my friends call me Zed for short. And what may I call you two big guys?"

"My name is Verdin, as you heard Damion say, although it is Verdin Degalea if you wish to be exact. And this big lug is Ryalon" the green dragon, Verdin, started as he leaned over to nudge his shoulder against his fellow dragon.

"For the last time, I told you to call me Ry."

The red dragon growled slightly as he spoke to male next to him, not liking to be called by his full name whenever he could get away with it, and for some reason Verdin seemed to enjoy messing with him about it. However, he turned his attention back to the human in front of him, his new partner and rider apparently, reaching forward with his right paw to accept the human's handshake, or at least trying to give as close to a handshake as a dragon could.

"My full name is Ryalon Wesalver, by I prefer to be called Ry just like how you go by Zed. Hopefully you can appreciate that more than this guy here."

"Heh, I can understand that, although judging by the smile Verdin has, he's only doing it to tease you. But hopefully you're not as hot-hea-"

"ZERIC! I'm coming for you!"

Before Zed could even finish speaking, another loud shot echoed through the hanger, though this time it was from Ryalon himself, and it nearly deafened the human because of how close he was. He watched as his new partner turned and ran off after his target, a large yellow-scaled dragon who seemed to be simply passing through the hanger by himself. The buff male flinched at hearing his name being shouted, and shifting his head to see the other dragon rushing at him, before smirking and turning to face the sudden challenger.

"-ded as my friend..."

The young rider muttered the rest of his sentence, trailing off as he watched the dragon go. He turned his head back to look at Verdin with a confused expression on his face, before stating the obvious out loud.

"Well that was odd. Is he always like that?"

"From what I know of yes, though I can't be too sure because our stalls weren't exactly that close together. If I am correct, he likes to try and prove himself. And Zeric used to be his biggest rival before he was paired up three months ago."

"Guess he is still hot-headed and reckless, just like Justin."

The green dragon chuckled as he watched Ryalon attempt the attack the older and large dragon, each one just as reckless as the last. While Verdin watched the sudden fight, Zed turned his attention back to his friend and see how he was doing. The cheetah was still fidgeting under Damion's gaze, his normally cocky demeanor completely replaced in the face of the stern superior. The Tibetan mastiff was smirking somewhat maniacally as he continued to lecture the feline in front of him, and while the human was entertained by the spectacle, both he and the other cool-headed dragon figured the feline had suffered long enough.

"Mr. Fredorn, I think Justin has suffered enough for today, don't you?"

The large dog blinked in surprised when he felt the human place a hand on one of his massive biceps after walking up from behind him, turning to look at the other two, before nodding slowly and standing up a little straighter. Once Damion had settled back down and adjusted himself in his armor again, he noticed that someone was missing.

"And where did Ryalon get off to?"

The canine merely received a finger and talon pointing off as a response, which lead him towards the scuffle going on in the distance. He sighed and shook his head, looking back at the three still next him before muttering for them to go on ahead.

"I'll go and fetch him. Why don't you three go ahead and make your way to the cafeteria for some lunch? Take the opportunity to get to know one another better while I get the last one before he's roasted alive."

The mastiff watched as the two riders and dragon made their way, a stern look on his face as he considered his options for the new dragonrider pairs, the three disappearing down a hallway. As he was thinking, another dragon, his blue scales almost shimmering with how their polished surface shone in the light, strode over to stand next to him. The reptile leaned in and licked along the canine's neck, whispering softly as he nuzzled up against his own rider.

"So those were the new pairs huh? Have you decided on how they are gonna be indoctrinated?"

"Heh, I believe I have Greador. They will each be given opposite trials, just hope they can last long enough see their own graduations into being official pairings."

The canine could help a soft murr escape his lips as he spoke, feeling his draconic partner nuzzle into him, and that soft, sensual voice always managing to rile him up no matter where they were.

"Oh? That will be interesting. I don't believe you've set any pairs up with opposite endings before. Now why don't we rescue that fire dragon so we can find a more secluded place and I can give my puppy his daily dose of dragon milk to drink?"

The dragon's voice lowed from its amused chuckled at the choice into a low, seductive whisper as he spoke into his rider's ear, licking his scaly lips in anticipation. And just the mere mention of his little pet name, and a promise for some frisky fun in public, made the strong dog blush lightly under his fur, his sheath twitching even more in excitement under his clothes and armor.

"You know I can't say no to something like that..."

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

The hanger bay's cafeteria was a truly massive space, bustling almost constantly with activity from dozens of different species, and one of the few places that dragons were actually able to eat alongside their riders. Most of the other dining areas throughout Arcove were simply too small for their large size, whereas the hanger's cafeteria was designed especially to allow the pairs to enjoy themselves together, along with other groups scattered about the room. The two new riders and one of their partners decided to wait patiently at the entrance for their last member, the fiery red dragon in question making his way slowly behind the trio.

His scales were slightly duller and scorched from his brief scuffle with the lightning dragon, and his mood no better off if his crestfallen expression was any indication. The other three choose not to comment on it and instead headed right into the large dining area, which was filled with a variety of table of different shapes and lengths, and chairs spaced intermediately along their sides. It was already filled with many other people, and even more were making their way in just as others were leaving.

"Looks like this place is almost always active. Bet that means the food is good though."

Justin smirked as he spoke, a bit more enthusiast about things than he had been before back in the hanger, getting stared at by a giant canine who probably could've snapped him in two with one paw. A soft purr escaped his short muzzle as he made his way towards the food, his stomach reacting to thoughts of food by growling, an action Verdin's stomach soon mimicked as well as he strolled on after his eager new rider.

"Heh, I hope so. I'm pretty hungry myself."

Zed could only shake his head in amusement as he went along too, making sure that Ryalon joined them despite his current mood. The human smiled to himself as he watched his partner slowly starting to cheer up again, the dragon's nostrils flaring as he sniffed the air, full of wonderful scents that just seemed to billow non-stop from the back. The four of them slowly made their way through the lines, waiting and watching wave after wave of people and dragons walk out with trays filled with delectable-looking food, before they were finally able to reach the inner kitchens themselves and select their food.

"Ah, you two must be the new team I heard about from Damion."

Justin and Zed both looked up past the counter to see a homely tigress looking at them with a smile. She looked at each of them, giving a curt nod before going about preparing more food for them and others, even as Zed spoke up as he slid down the line to stand in front of her.

"How'd you guess that?"

"Because he told me what you four looked like. A human, cheetah, and two dragons isn't exactly a common group even here."

Her chuckle was soft and sweet, one that comes from someone who enjoyed there line of work. The tigress looked back up from the food to the new partners, even as her knife continued to chop up some vegetables on the counter.

"This is obviously your first time here, so I'll tell you how things work in here compared to the other places around Arcove. When you enter here you have to tell one of the cooks your name before you get your food, and it should make sense if you think about why it would help."

"To speed things along by writing down a person's usual order, am I right?"

"Correct wind dragon. With so many people coming and going all day long, we had to find a few ways to help speed up the process or we would also be backed up, and getting your food would take forever. And I'm sure that'd be too much of a hassle for many of you starters or the veteran members."

The process that she continued to explain to the group made sense, to both increase productivity and reduce the waiting time as much as possible. Zed was honestly impressed by how dedicated the kitchen crew was to producing the best quality food as fast as they could for their patrons _and_keeping them from waiting too long for it. And it was only after nearly ten minutes of further explaining that the tigress, who introduced herself as Sarah, finally finished and asked what each of them wanted along with their names for the orders.

All of them were surprised when the feline and another worker showed up not too long after that, and even the cool-headed Verdin couldn't help commenting on how the explanation took longer to finish than the actual cooking process. But as surprised as the four males were, they still accepted the food graciously and paid for the meals, before leaving to find themselves a table and eat. However, as the new teammates walked off carrying the trays, with their dragons following closely behind them, the second worker leaned in to whisper in Sarah's ear.

"You think they have any idea what they're about to experience once the chemicals enter their system Sarah?"

"It would surprise me if they did. Every other rider and dragon makes sure to hide their actions in order to not influence any of the applicants. That way the bond is more genuine between rider and dragon," she replied, pausing briefly as she turned around, smiling warmly again as she rubbed her gloved paws together.

"Now... let's get back to work shall we?"

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

The four young males chose to sit around one of the smaller round tables, which turned out to be perfect because the table had only four chairs around it. Justin and Zed set all of the trays down before moving two of the chairs off to the side, freeing up space for their dragons to sit back on their haunches again and enjoy the meal alongside the riders properly.

"We couldn't have picked more similar meals even if we tried huh?"

Justin couldn't help asking the question as he set down and looked at everyone's trays, all of them covered with an assortment of meats in different sizes. Of course, the dragons had the biggest cuts out of the group, but still for all of them to request the same thing was pretty odd.

"Just means that we can eat all the faster here... And hey... do any of you think there is an odd aftertaste to these?"

The other three all looked over at Ryalon, his muzzle already stained by flicks of meat. Zed could only sigh at the sight, placing a hand against his head as he shook it, seems his partner was quick to act on top of being hot-headed.

"Great, hot-headed and quick. What a dragon they partnered me with. Of course we don't know Ry, no one else has started."

The fire dragon simply scuffed at the comment before going back to his meal, leaning in and tearing his cuts of meat apart with his sharp teeth. Zed just shrugged at the display, unable to stop it and not really wanting to try, before he, along with Verdin and Justin, dug into their own meals. While Verdin ate much the same as Ryalon did, although with a much less savage-like enthusiasm, both of the riders cut their own small cuts of meat apart with their utensils, savoring the mouth-watering flavors that exploded in their mouths as they chewed. And just as he commented, Zed did notice an odd aftertaste that spread over his tongue, though only barely and it didn't stay for very long.

"Hmm, even though you eat a bit too wild for my liking, I will admit that you may have been right about that aftertaste."

"I'll agree too, but you do have to admit that it doesn't seem to linger for very long. Plus it ain't that noticeable."

The human chuckled, surprised the cheetah actually agreed with him on something, it wasn't a very common occurrence between the two of them. He chose to keep the remark quiet for the moment, not wishing to start another argument while he ate. Zed always hated it when something interrupted him when food was involved. Luckily for the human though, it seemed that everyone else was also content to just enjoy their meal in quiet. And after only twenty minutes the four of them had finished, with Ryalon taking merely a few more minutes after he had spoken, and Verdin was not too far behind him.

"Now that we have eaten, I think we should go see where we all are going to be living now don't you Justin?"

"That would probably be the best idea Zed, and I'm interested to see our new rooms. They should have all the moving done by now."

"Wait... what's this about a move?"

Ryalon was the one to ask as he leaned in closer over his rider's shoulder, his head tilted sideways in confusion as he looked between the two riders. Verdin was similarly looking at the two, waiting on a response, seemingly also puzzled about the moving comment. The question and looks only made Zed shake his head, a little disappointed at that.

"Guess the dog back there didn't tell you guys. Honestly that's surprised, I thought that was part of his job or something. Anyways, before riders are paired they live in smaller dorms and you dragons in your big stalls. Once a dragon and rider are matched though, both have their belongings moved from their current residence into a new room in one of the larger dorms."

"They say it's to help strengthen our bond or something like that. But hey, I won't argue about getting a new room."

Justin had his usual smirk adorning his muzzle as he spoke, the group on their way out of the cafeteria and towards the center of the city, it was the perfect chance to catch a glimpse of some eye candy. The cheetah was always something of a lady's man, and with his lean and well-trained body, who could blame him? And being openly bi and similarly fit himself, Zed was almost in the same boat from both males and females alike. But despite all of the requests both of them received, the human had nowhere near as many lays as his feline counterpart. It was a fact that the cheetah enjoyed rubbing in, even when he knew it was Zed's own choice that limited his sexual encounters to those that suited his personal interests, rather than the free-for-all manner that Justin went along with.

While the new teammates walked through the streets, Ryalon began to feel an unusual tingling spark within his gut and spread out. It started off as something small, barely worth noticing, but as the feeling began to spread, he began to feel a little warmer than usual. Being a fire dragon, he was used to having a higher body temp and never really had trouble handling any heating problems, and this new warmth was no different at the moment. There was only a slight change in his temperature and the tingling felt pretty good, so he decided to ignore it until they reached their new 'home'.

However, the building heat and tingling sensations didn't subside, and as he had to start focusing on ignoring them, the red-scaled dragon didn't seem to notice the other abnormalities that began to occur. His pace slowed, ever so slightly, as he subconsciously pressed his hindlegs closer together, the heat and tingling causing a stir in his loins. Ryalon panted softly at the new feeling, his tongue sliding out a little as he tried to suppress a slight moan. He succeeded, if only barely, and attempted to distract himself as much as possible with the sights of the town.

And at the same time, his partner Zed continued to walk beside him, oblivious to the reptile's rising discomfort. The human was looking just like the other two, his head swaying from side-to-side as the group past others on the streets. He smiled and waved to people when they took notice of the young males, getting similar gestures in return as they passed by. The action was a casual, friendly one, something that Zed was well-known for with his friendly demeanor, which made him even more popular when compared to Justin and his usual cocky attitude. It was during one of these friendly exchanges that a glint caught the human's eye, drawing his attention back to his side, where his draconic partner stood alongside him. The glint was caused by the sun, Ryalon's red scales almost shining as the sunlight beamed off of him, cloaking him in a sort of fiery glow that almost stocked Zed.

Wow, I hadn't noticed how well maintained his scales were. They're almost glowing under the sun despite the dullness they had earlier from his fight, it's almost beautiful. he thought to himself, his staring lasting a little longer than usual.

"Hey look, I think that's the building there!"

The sudden outburst brought Zed out of his daydreaming, and almost as soon as he shouted it, Justin was off like a bolt of lightning, displaying his species' trademark speed. There were certainly few that could claim to equal or best the cheetah when it came to feline agility and swiftness, the teen just seemed to excel in the area even more so than most other felines.

"Heh, looks like my rider is better than I thought."

"Yeah, he was always top of our class when it came to sheer speed."

The green-scaled dragon nodded as the trio followed after the frenzied feline. By the time Zed, Verdin, and Ryalon managed to reach the front of the dorm building and walked in, Justin was already waving off a female squirrel who had handed him a set of keys, before he turned to greet them.

"Took ya'll long enough. That squirrel there was supposed to greet us and show us our room, but I said it was fine. I mean now that we're more official we can do it ourselves right hehe?"

"Suppose you are right Justin, so where are our new rooms?"

"Surprisingly, it's actually just a room so to speak, a shared room for the four of us is what she said. It has two bedrooms, one for each pair, and a shared commons."

"Well that is interesting. Guess we will just have to see what this place is like."

Verdin chuckled as he made the remark, neither dragon having a problem with sharing rooms since that was nothing new to them back in their stalls. And with nothing but a nod in response, the cheetah turned around and started walking towards a set of stairs off to the right side. The other three followed after him, each of them talking amiably amongst themselves about what they thought the new rooms would be like. They ascended the stairs quickly enough and headed down one of the second floor hallways.

"Hmm, 234... 234... Ah, here it is, Room 234."

Once Justin had found the correct room, it only took him a few moments to unlock it with the key he was given and open the large white door. As the four entered one after the other, each of them were surprised by how decorative their new... suite actually was. The shared commons area was an impressively large room furnished by several couches and floor cushions laid about, with a large, already-lit fireplace on the opposite wall acting as the focal point for the room.

The entrance was situated perfectly in the middle of the room, and from it the boys could see both of the bedroom doors which were left slightly ajar, likely from when their stuff had been moved some time prior. And although they couldn't be seen, the new occupants were almost certain they would be just as big as the commons area too.

"Well, this takes the saying 'living large' to a new level."

The human's comment was met with a round of laughter from the others as they looked around with him, admiring their new living space. Verdin shook his head in bewilderment, before leaning in to nudge Justin's side to get his attention.

"As much as this one room is marvelous. What do you say we split up to check our new living quarters and make sure you both have all of the stuff from your odd rooms."

"That's right! I wanna check out the room too and see how it will fit the both of us. Let's go!"

The feline's muzzle was spread into a broad smile as he tore off to the left, even though he didn't know if the left bedroom would actually be his or not. He weaved around some of the other furniture and disappeared quickly enough into the room, leaving the others to stare after him. After waiting a few seconds and not seeing Justin come back out, Zed figured it was his room and the right was for him and Ry.

"Hmm, guess you two have the left side. Good luck with him Verdin, me and Ry here will check on our room too I suppose."

The human waved the wind dragon off as he and his red-scaled partner turned to head for their own room, both of them interested by how the room would be laid out to house the two of them too. And Zed's earlier belief was confirmed about its size as they opened the door and stepped through the doorway, the bedroom was equally as large in comparison to a regular room as the shared commons was for the living room in any of the houses around them. There was a modest full-sized bed nestled in the corner of the room opposite the doorway, covered by simple gray sheets that bore the symbol of Arcove's Legion division. Next to it was a large stand where he could rest his armor plating, and a dresser with its drawers still half-open, letting Zed see that all of his clothes were moved into it as he walked over to make sure.

"Well they certainly did move everything I owned in here."

He muttered the remark quietly as he spoke, opening the bottom drawer and seeing that even his more private belongings had been placed in there. It's a good thing I was already openly bi or else them moving my toys would have been more embarrassing than just the lube and condoms.

"Hey look, they even modelled part of the floor to be like the stables! Awesome!"

The random outburst, along with the sudden rushing beast past him, caused Zed to look over to his left at the other half of the large room, and he watched with surprise as his draconic partner jumped slightly towards another corner opposite his bed and furthest from the door. In the corner that was on the same side as the door they entered through was another door that was, again, slightly ajar, and Zed could only conclude that it was the bathroom. But that wasn't what interested the human, instead it was the giant reptile moving around in the last corner of the room.

There was a rather large portion of the room's floor that was sectioned off, for what appeared to be the dragon's resting area, or at least that was what Zed had thought it was at first. But as he continued to watch, he quickly figured out it was more than just a simple bed for his partner. The large grey blob that covered that corner of the room sunk down under the reptile's size and weight as he quickly staggered onto it, turning around with a wide grin spread across his muzzle.

Ryalon dropped his hindlegs and slowly started to grind his hips against the odd bedding, growling and moaning softly as he did so, not even seeming to care that Zed was watching him now. And from his vantage point, the human got to see a lot more of his partner than he thought he would ever see. Because the dragon was almost completely sideways as he ground himself against the new bed, his new rider was given an almost unobstructed view of the fiery reptiles' genital slit as it split open, and the hidden phallus inside begin to emerge.

The human was completely surprised by the sudden erotic scene before him, he had never heard of a dragon acting like this, or ever though he would see such a sight in his life. But... he just couldn't look away, eyes glued to his dragon's scaly hindquarters as an equally sudden ripple of arousal spread through his body. Zed watched with a growing fascination as Ryalon grew more and more erect, that large shaft grinding itself between his belly and bedding, lewd squelching noises echoing in his ears over and over again in the process.

"Ungh... oh gods, I needed this!"

Ryalon groaned, his hips slowly starting to buck his swelling member harder against the cushy bed under him, the long shaft quickly reaching its full two foot length and dripping in a growing mixture of slit fluids and pre. The dragon could feel the warmth spreading through him, a heat unnatural even to a fire dragon like himself was flowing in his veins and clouding his thoughts, his lust growing more and more. Ryalon didn't know what was happening to his body, and as the heat continued to spread and his mind cloud further in lust, he found that he was caring less and less, the feelings just too good.

While the dragon was slowly drowning in new levels of lust that he had never felt before, even back in the stables with all the toys and sexy scents around, Zed was completely enraptured by the display of shameless pleasuring before him. Just like with his partner, the human could feel the tingling beginnings of lustful warmth spreading through him, making his clothes feel tighter and uncomfortable to remain in. Gods, I don't know what the heck got into him, but I can't stay in this armor and clothes at this rate.

His hands moved with practiced ease to remove his clothes, his eyes never leaving the surprisingly arousing sight before him. Zed had never thought about dragons sexually before, they had been around all of his life, but even after he came out and started seeing people, he had never actually thought about doing any of it with one of them. But now... he couldn't really think of anything else. Almost subconsciously, Zed had stripped off the pieces of his armor and hung them on the stand, before he began to work himself out of his shirt, eyes remaining on his draconic partner as he continued to grind himself faster and longer, his hips rocking back and forth nonstop as he growled deeply in pleasure.

Once his shirt came off, Zed was quick to loosen and pull out his belt, tossing it to the side without glancing, not even caring where it landed. He slipped his thumbs under the waistband of his pants and underwear before pushing both them down in one swift motion, letting them fall to the ground before stepping out of them, leaving him in only his boots. The human was quick to dispose of them too, leaning down to pull both of them off, the socks following right after.

He couldn't help sighing in relief as he was finally freed of his clothes, letting his eager cock bob in the open air, pointing straight at the dragon as it oozed pre from its mushroom head. A hand slipped its way down as he continued to watch the spectacle his partner was performing, fingers wrapping around the seven inch length and slowly starting to stroke it. This has definitely got to be the weirdest thing I've ever done. Let's just hope he doesn't try to assault and mount me instead.

Zed slowly walked across the room towards Ryalon, his cock dripping pre onto the floor as his hand continued to idly stroke himself. He carefully made his way around the large squishy bedding to the dragon's head, chuckling to himself as he saw that other's face. Ryalon's eyes were rolled up into his head, maw agape as his tongue hung out, panting from the intense pleasure and heat that were wrecking his body. Wow, I can feel the heat coming off of him from here. This is gonna be a very intense experience, if not a very dangerous one.

"Hey Ry,"

It was a quick start, just a way to try and get the big dragon's attention, and Zed smirked when those sharp, yet lust-filled eyes rolled forward again to look at him. He could see that Ryalon was having a hard time trying to focus on anything besides the intense need that was likely coursing through his veins, and figured it would be best to not take things slow. The human used his hand to hold up his dripping shaft, letting the scaly beast see it, as he finished his teasing question.

"why don't you try and help a new pal out? Put that empty maw of yours to use hmm?"

The dragon was too far gone, too enthralled by his own lust, to even think of replying. Instead, he moved on instinct, guided by the skills and motions engrained into his body during his time in the stables. Bending his long neck, Ryalon leaned his head down quickly to his new rider's midriff, almost as if he hungered to taste the other male's dripping shaft. His long tongue flicked up from the side of his maw and gave the dripping length a quick lick, before engulfing it completely.

Zed groaned as his entire shaft was swallowed up by the dragon, the heat that surrounded his cock was almost unimaginable, but still very pleasurable against the sensitive. And that tongue, it was like a snake as it weaved and stroked along the entirety of his seven inches, driving it to leak even more pre, which the dragon all too eagerly sucked down his throat. The human grabbed onto his partner's horns for balance as the pleasure he received intensified, his knees nearing giving out as his cock throbbed all the harder in Ryalon's muzzle, his large head bobbing slightly as he sucked greedily on length.

"Oh god, Ry, you're driving me crazy here. Your maw's so hot... and that tongue..."

Zed moaned deeply as he spoke, bucking his hips up against the other's muzzle. But he wasn't the only one bucking his hips, Ryalon was still doing the exact same thing, his hips gyrating hard and fast against the bedding under him, that giant shaft gushing out thick waves of pre onto the squishy material and scaled belly. The dragon growled deeply in pleasure and need, his body shaking almost violently as he gave all of his attention to the two shafts below and in front of him.

Ryalon moved his hips nonstop, even as he continued to suck on Zed's shaft, his tongue swirling and licking around it like a serpent after its prey. The thick muscle then snaked its way out and under the rider's sac, wrapping around the bag of flesh and caressing the balls inside, before sucking them up too into the hot maw. That was what set Zed off, the humid, dripping maw sucking on his entire loins was just too much for him, and he came hard into it. His shaft grew even harder as it throbbed violently in the dragon's muzzle, shooting off shot after shot of its gooey white fluids down the hungry throat before it.

And as the familiar taste of cum splashed against his tongue, Ryalon lost it too. His body shuddering from head to tail before tensing up, his hips thrusting down one last time before his own cock exploded below him, unloading a veritable wave of draconic seed. The two males reveled in their mutual climax, moaning and growling out their pleasure without a care of who might hear. It was only after nearly ten full shots did Zed let go of his partner's horns, falling back on his butt and panting heavily. Ryalon also panted as his body gave out, falling into the giant puddle of cum beneath him and splashing some of it across the floor.

"Hah... hah... Man, that was... such a rush."

The human could barely speak between breaths, but that didn't stop him from chuckling to himself at how odd the whole experience was. He looked over to his partner, smiling as he saw the dazed, dreamy look the dragon had, obviously basking in the same intense afterglow he was going through. Well, I think this is gonna be a very interesting endeavor just like I thought.

Slurp... Slurp... Slurp

The wet, slicking noise resounded throughout the other pair's room, dominating over any other sound, including the rasped breathing of the cheetah huddle on his bed. His breathes were quick, heavy, labored from the shocking sight before him of his partner pleasuring himself. The dragon was on his back, wing folded against the floor and his legs hanging in the air as he suckled on his own two foot shaft. Verdin was feeling almost as much heat and lust as Ryalon had, his heart beating faster and his scales shimmering in his own sweat as his head bobbed along the large length.

However, the difference between the two dragons was the focus, while Ryalon was lost in his own lust, Verdin remained focused, even with his maw full on his own dripping cock. His eyes stared straight at the feline rider in the opposite corner, watching the other male squirm around as he watched the open and shameless act of debauchery. But of course, Verdin didn't think of it as strange at all, the dragons were raised and exposed to a wide variety of pleasures when they reached maturity, what else would hedonist do after all?

The green-scaled dragon growled deeply in pleasure, the sound rumbling in his chest as he finally stopped staring at Justin, closing his eyes and picking up the pace of his bobbing. His tongue licked and swirled around the giant shaft as it gushed out pre like a fountain, all of which the large reptile sucked down eagerly as his head slid down even further to engulf the entire two foot spire of flesh. The mere sight of this and the lust-filled moan that followed were enough to finally break Justin out of his frozen state, only to realize another troubling fact making itself known under his clothes.

How the hell can I be turned on by this?! I'm straight dammit! I can't really be enjoying the sight of another male sucking himself off... can I?

The cheetah was torn between the two conflicting sides, and it was only the sound of his partner on the other side of the room pulling off his cock with a loud moan and finally cumming, that snapped him back out of it again. He watched in shocked fascination as the large shaft throbbed violently, veins pulsing along its surface as it blew shot after thick gooey shot through the short distance and into the dragon's own gaping muzzle. Justin gasped out in humiliating pleasure as his own cock throbbed hard in his pants at the mere sight, before he turned and leaped off the bed, running out of the room in shock and disturbing arousal.

Verdin watched out of the corner of his eye as the rider ran out of the room, smiling to himself as he basked in the blissful afterglow of a powerful climax. He panted lightly, trying to catch his breath, before craning his neck back down to lick at his spent shaft, cleaning it of the slick mixture of his saliva, pre, and cum. He breathed the intoxicating scent in deeply, murring out again as the heavy scent of his pheromones filled his lungs, and he smirked inwardly as he thought about the pheromones the cheetah must have inhaled, even from on the other side of the room.

_I hope that Justin comes around soon. It will be awfully difficult for us if he doesn't accept that we dragons do this all the time._the dragon thought to himself, wondering just what was in store for himself and his rider...
