How a dragon trains you

Part 17

(…)

My ears and spine all down my tail were ablaze with tingles and I just breathed, swishing any remaining seed around, collecting it and swallowing it down. Hahhh hahhhh haaahh.. Gulp.. G'hhaahhh! Oh man.. Ohhh MAN that was good! I smiled to myself, starting to chuckle. I could get used to this!

'I bet you could~'

..

"Uh. Y-yeah. I could."

..

'That was a hell of a show you put on just there.'

..

"Uh..."

I looked around to see if that was really my thoughts or- Was someone talking to me? I sounded like a voice, but it didn’t resonate from outside. More… inside my head, like thoughts. But I'm not thinking that. Man, this dream was getting weird.

..

'Hey, I don't mean to alarm you, but how did this happen? Why are you.. uh, me?'

..

"What do you mean? I'm not you. I’m… me! I think."

..

'Nnnnnnnnoooo you're not. You're being me right now.'

..

I'm thinking up my own conversation? It was my own thoughts. At least, it sure sounded like they were, but I wasn't having them. It's like how you talk to yourself in your head and you're both sides at the same time? But here I was only one side, and whatever these secondary thoughts were, they weren't mine.

..

"Who are you?"

'Scir'

"Who- what now?"

My body suddenly moved totally without my doing! I was being controlled! But HOW?! And by WHOM?! I twitched and flinched, flailing all over the place.

"AH! Hey!!”

'Stop moving! Let me! This is MY body!'

"What are you-" I stopped moving, allowing whoever this other voice was take control, causing us to stumble over.

"OW!"

'OW!'

"Hey!"

'Hey!'

...

‘sStToOpP!’

"YOU STOP!"

AGGHH! The body roared out in anger and I relented. Not saying anything.

We dug our claws into the ground and growled.

I shook our head and brushed off our face, getting back up. Suddenly, it hit me.

"Wait.. are you the-"

'Dragon, yes. I am. Hmm.. this must've happened because of last night. The mind link was stronger than I've ever made it before.. But this.. is on another level. I didn't know this could happen.'

"WAIT WAIT WAIT. THIS ISN'T"

'a dream. No it isn't. This is real. And this is WEIRD.'

"You have a way to- Wait, I'm YOU? But what about all th-the-the th-flying? And the fireball and the-"

'The WHAT? Did you almost kill me?!'

"WHA- Well NO! I thought it was a"

'dream, I know. But nothing tipped you off?'

"OBVIOUSLY NOT"

'Okay okay! Calm down! It's fine. I'm not hurt.. I don't think.'

We swung our head around to examine our arms, legs, tail and wings.

'Seems fine to me. So wait, you flew me? How the hell did you manage that?'

"Don't be so surprised, it's not THAT hard."

'I suppose not. Just that if you mess up, it's game over. Don't suppose you had any semblance of danger then when you tried? No idea that a fall from a pine tree's height would literally spell the end of you? Us big creatures aren't as bouncy as you smaller ones, you know. You go bounce, we go splat.'

"I'm sorry, okay?"

I could feel the dragon's anger. But it was fueled mostly by deep set feelings of fear, not outright resentment. It was clear that the thought of him dying while not even in control petrified him.

'I.. know. It's just scary to think-' "you could've died and it wouldn't have even been your fault, I know. I can.. feel your emotion. I'm very sorry."

"So, uh.. you know how to fix this, right? Cuz I-"

I just realized.. if I'm.. somehow in the dragon's body.. then that little me I saw sleeping back in the barn was THE ACTUAL ME!

'Nope.'

"Oh, that's good cuz I-waitaminutewhat"

'I have no idea how this happened, how to reverse it, or even if it's possible TO reverse.'

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?!"

'I mean, I don't-'

"I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN"

'Then why did you ask-'

"BECAUSE W H A T D O Y O U M E A N Y O U D O N ' T K N O W ? ! This was COOL and all, but now that I realize this is for real, I feel... wrong!"

'How do you think /I/ felt when I woke up because YOU choked me on my own semen?!'

"Hey, don’t get fresh with me! I’m not the one who makes too much jizz, you freak!”

‘Hahaha! You just make too little~’

Huffing loudly, I decided to start running towards the water just to get him wet for saying that, laughing the whole way.

'Woah! What are you doing? STOP!'

"You take that back you sack of scales!"

'Oh yeah? Make me!'

"I fuck-gn- Let go! Let go of me!!"

We fought over control so hard the poor body we were in kept spasming left and right. Animals all around us stopped everything they were doing to watch the weird giant lizard go absolutely berserk.

"Gim-me!"

'No! Stop! It's MY BODY!'

We fell over and just twitched and flailed on the ground, kicking up gravel and flinging it every which way.

"NNN- G-GGGGRRRRRR!! S T O P ! !"

We launched a fireball RIGHT into the ground beside us that sent us cartwheeling into the water. We flailed in the water that wasn't even deep enough to submerge our whole body, and yet our struggles kept our head under the water's surface. I didn't even notice at first until we started choking. The dragon's voice came in louder than ever, not having fun anymore.

'HUMAN STOP! PLEASE! I'M GOING TO DROWN. PLEASE LET ME!'

"I'M TRYING TO SAVE US! SHIT! I'M SORRY, OKAY!"

'I'M GOING TO DROWN IN FUCKING KNEE HIGH WATER, FUCKING STOP! STOP! STOP!'

It took every ounce of restraint I had to stop trying to save myself and be still. The SECOND I stopped, our coordination came back and we LEAPT out of the water, GASPING for air and coughing. The dragon whimpered, almost crying, clearly in deep distress just as I now was as well. This was funny at first, but that.. just proved we can't stay coordinated when we're like this. It could literally kill us.

...

I no longer tried to move anything.

We stayed silent. Panting hard, gasping as we padded out of the water and stood, dripping wet, coughing.

He was about as unhappy as one could get.. and I didn't dare say anything. Fear and anger plastered all across our face. The dragon took control and leapt into the air, flying us back immediately. Our wingbeats were strong and reckless. We had very poor form, like me when I was learning to fly just a bit ago. He was angry, very angry. He breathed hard and flew fast, muttering expletives under his breath every once in a while.

The journey back seemed to take absolutely ages. It felt so fast when I flew it the first time.. I must've really been having the time of my life. But now, I just felt ashamed. About everything I had done. How had I not realized it wasn't a dream..

...

"I'm.. I'm sorr-"

'I know' we huffed, interrupting me.

…

'..I know..'

'..you just.. scared me… You wanna know a secret about dragons?'

I said nothing.

'We're scared of more things than any other creature out there. ... Do you know how few of us die of old age? ... When was the last time you even saw a dragon besides me?'

"I've.. never seen a dragon before, actually. I was always told they were out there, but-.. I almost didn't even believe them."

'Well, there's a reason the majority of us only hunt at night, and there's a reason we're built to move so quietly, and there's a reason we shoot fireballs first and ask questions later..'

...

'That night.. the first night.. the one where I attacked you and bred you.. I haven't seen another of my kind for over half of my lifetime. I don't know how many of us are even left. My breeding season came early this year and- you were just.. there. I couldn't stop myself. We attack first because we HAVE to. You know.. when I see you down there.. retreating into your little cave with other members of your kind.. when I see you walking around the streets, SURROUNDED by thousands and thousands of other two-legs.. waving at each other.. talking to each other..'

The dragon almost fully closed its eyes as they filled with tears and then got dragged away by the wind as we flew. He whimpered and cried. I felt scared that he'd drop out of the sky for a moment, but I tried to maintain my composure and not move his body anymore.

‘I know we're solitary creatures, but that doesn't mean we NEVER want to see our own kind.. or be around them.. or at least spend one goddamn FUCKING night by each other's sides looking up at the stars and feeling like we have a place in this FUCKING world!'

This time, he did waver and drop from the sky a bit, and I flinched, lifting our arms up. He seemed to just let me.. uncaring anymore.

Our wings trembled as we began to descend, the very tip of the barn roof coming into view. I hoped we would at least make it to the ground before our wings just gave out altogether. I held our breath, and he let me. Our wings flapped and flapped for the final approach, landing softly on the dirt. But the moment we did, we collapsed into it. I felt every bit of his welling sorrow in our chest. Our eyes watered up and we just laid there in the dirt, crying. We curled up into a pitiful little ball, shielding our eyes from the early morning sun as we cried, he cried.. it was so hard to tell now.. every emotion of his was mine. He was definitely more in control now and I was just along for the ride. I had access to his memories.. and I saw glimpses of the life he'd had up to this point. It was either that or was this him thinking about these memories himself. Maybe they had resurfaced, and I was watching him play back his own life in his head before me. I saw the dozens of other night furies he used to know.. There were so many! They still lived apart, but they would gather in groups many times a year and play. Even cooperatively hunt. I saw that he once had a mate, a girl.. the most beautiful girl I'd.. he'd ever seen. I saw the cave he made specially for them to live in together, with vines hanging down over the entrance.. the way the sun streaked through the leaves during sunset as the bright star loomed over the ocean. I saw the intimate sex they had, I felt the panic he was in when she began to lay.. the calm afterward when it was over. I saw the clutch of three eggs.. all of them hatched into beautiful pups. I saw him teach them how to hunt, and how to fly, their tiny wings spread out. He was a good father. Then one by one, they grew up and said farewell. Dragons rarely see their babies after they leave. It was the last time he'd ever see any of them. Then, over the years, the groups he made with all his friends thinned out. His mate parted ways with him. He never saw her again. The last ten years, he saw no dragon at all. Maybe one up in the sky once, but so far away, it could never have seen or heard any of his roars. He settled down to the patch of forest I had set up camp in about five years before I showed up. He kept the ground spotless. Every leaf that fell, he'd pick it up. Every squirrel that came in, he shooed away. All in hopes to impress a passing lady if one ever showed up. But that moment never came. Years of waiting left him desperate and downtrodden. Then he caught sight of humans. Where they had come from, he had no idea, but he remembers back as a pup, being told of an upright walking creature who wore skins of other animals and who used weapons. Small in size, but not to be trifled with. He saw more and more the last few years than he'd ever seen before. So long as they stay out of my territory, he vowed to himself. And then I had shown up. Unannounced, uninvited. Set up camp RIGHT in the heart of his domain. He would have NONE of it. And then.. his whole world changed. The hunt, the rut, the apology, my acceptance of him. The first touch, the petting, the kissing, my reciprocation of love. It's like the two of us had found what we were searching for all our lives. We didn't even know what we wanted, but this felt right, even if it was for no other reason than out than morbid curiosity. We felt drawn to each other. I was the only thing this supposed "beast" ever thought about while I was away. He found the same sort of happiness he once had so many many years ago. And now the threat of dying, of losing it all, scared him SO MUCH, that he wept and wept on the ground, in the dirt, covered by his own wing.

And yet.. despite the sorrow I felt along with him.. I couldn't help but feel.. incredibly special. I had no idea I'd ever make a difference in someone else's life like this. And of all the things I could've ended up being, a husband to a sexy mistress, or a stoic member of the Tivan army, I found myself with the dragon.. right here, right now.. and there was NO place I'd rather be.

"Scír?"

The dragon paused.

"You.. said that was your name?"

'H-hh.. S-Scír Fahren.. yes..'

"It's.. nice to know your name. It's nice to finally meet you."

He said nothing.

"Listen.."

..

"W-whatever happens.. I just want you to know that I love you.. and I'm so.. so sorry that I scared you.. But I've never before said anything with as much conviction as I do now. I will always be here for you."

..

"I see your memories.. I don't know where they all went, but I'm sorry for your loss. We'll find them. An- and if we can't.. then I'll be here for you.. always.. Even if we have to run away forever. Leave this world behind. I didn't know I made you so happy. But, for the record, you make me feel the exact same way. You're all I can ever think about, too. And I love seeing your big scaly face. And the silly smile you make when you see me. Even if that's the only thing I ever do with you, I still feel like it's better than any life I could've made on my own."

"I want you to know that at least one mother fucker out here cares about you. I'll try to make it so that you never have to feel this alone for the rest of your life."

By now, his sobbing had stopped.. and he was just.. listening to me.

"Now, come on.. I can't stay in here forever. We make a good team, and I wanna get back to that. Whaddya say?"

We rose to our paws, shaking ourselves off, sighing, but then looking on with determination.

'Lets do it.'

The dragon closed its eyes and lowered its head onto mine, trying to focus. Seemingly nothing happened, but I suddenly saw the light snap away. I could still hear, but not as good as before. My hearing was back to usual. I could still hear the dragon’s voice, hardly still reaching me.

‘Gah. Your body is asleep.. I don't know if I can do anything with it. Maybe I should go back to sleep too? That's how we got /into/ this mess…’

The gentle thuds of the paws tip toed around me, and I heard the body nestling back behind me. Its forelegs reached around me, hugging me and purring. I could feel it inside it. The love. A heavenly sensation. I could feel, literally feel, how much it loved me… even during bad times like now… that feeling… I will never forget…

“Rrrrh”

‘I love you so much.’

…I love you too, I thought. I didn’t know if the dragon could hear those thoughts. I didn’t know if those thoughts were in my head, the dragon’s or no one’s. But I didn’t care. Those words filled my head, thinking them over and over. I love you too… I love you…

…

…

…

Woah! Out of nowhere, I jolted awake, the first reflex of my body making me gasp for air. The night had passed... quickly. It was day by now, the sunrays brightly shining through the gaps of the wooden walls. I leaned myself up by my hands, finding myself in the arms of my dragon wrapped around my belly, holding me and looking at me with a glance seemingly resembling my surprise.

“Arru?” it stared at me, questioning. But then it just smiled.

“Oh man… I just had /the/ craziest dream. Man, I can hardly remember it all but it was… bat shit crazy! I-I was trapped in your body, and th-then you were in the body too! We both were in one body! Can you believe that!?”

I leaned forward, hugging its chest.

“It got kinda scary towards the end… almost like a nightmare.”

The dragon just chuckled at me.

“No drem. Drr.. er. Em. ..em? eeeeeeeeeeeem. Rah!“

The little shock I was still feeling from the dream quickly disappeared, as I watched the dragon get on with its speech learning.

“DrEEM! No dreem!”

“Wait, what? So that wasn’t-”

Before I could answer anything, the dragon leaned forward and kissed me, pressing its lips onto mine especially hard this time. Hard enough to, for a moment, make me forget what just happened and what the dragon just told me. This was not a dream? I was in the dragon’s body, just like that? No way… It must have been joking. Either way, being back to normal was relieving. I raised my hands and held my dragon by the head, as it did the same with its paws. Oh man… Being in the dragon’s body sucks when it means I can’t kiss it.

After petting all over the back of my head for a minute or two, the dragon pulled off and looked at me.

“Yu okay?”

“I’m… uhhh…”

I looked down at myself, surprisingly finding lots of marks on my body. There were claw marks by my chest and thigh, reddish rings around my wrists and ankles and my shoulder seemed to have gotten yet another biting mark.

“What exactly happened yesterday? I… can’t remember all of it…”

“Pff! How? We did… fun!”

In a suggesting fashion, the dragon’s gaze wandered to its crotch and then mine.

“Oh… did we…”

I hardly could recall anything. There was nothing but a faint idea I could manage to grasp. Only the feeling of my dragon forcing itself inside me… again… That thought alone was enough to make me blush. But there was still one thing I was confused about…

I lifted my wrists, examining the marks. Especially the bottom sides looked red, blueish even, shaping around like wrist bands.

“What are… those?”

The dragon answered by nosing my shoulder and diverting my attention away to the edge, looking at a broken railing with two ropes attached to them. Curios of what the dragon was trying to imply, I got up to slightly hurting feet and walked over. There were two more ropes on the ground, attached to some snapped pieces laying on the floor. Another thing that caught my eye were darker spots on the wooden floor, which seemed whitish upon closer examining. There were multiple of them, in different shapes and sizes. There were a few large striped ones about a feet or two away from the ropes, large puddles beneath them and lots of multiple little drops exactly were the ropes laid.

“Oh… oh my. Am I reading this right? I was in ropes yesterday?”

The thought sparked some strange kind of excitement in me, partially spoiled by regret of not remembering such a wonderful night.

“Can… can you tell me what it was like? Or what we did? Maybe it helps refreshing my memory.”

The dragon’s eyes suddenly went wide. But of course!

Quickly, it held its forehead onto mine, the bright and vivid memories playing in front of me. They were from the dragon’s perspective, but it was satisfying. I the dragon stand over me, strung up like a sexy little pinata… mounting me multiple times and edging me and itself… the denied orgasms… the teasing… the ropes snapping and the dragon cumming over and over…

“Oh my goodness…”

Then, there was the final one. The golden ending. It got so intense, that the dragon grew hard, poking out of its slit and huffing deeply… just by the memory… I felt it in me too, some of the body regions that were strained yesterday lighting back up.

“Heh…”

The dragon took its head back, making me snap back to reality. “You too?”

Its head lowered and sniffed at my groin. As I thought about… reenacting some of yesterday’s fun, an unpleasant reminder shocked me, which killed my arousal. Levicus… Benton… the reunion! I just disappeared yesterday! Oh, they must be so confused… and worried… and what if my absence caused trouble yesterday? I shouldn’t stay gone for longer. I had to make sure that everything was okay…

“Though I’d love to… I… think I gotta head back to town.”

“Oh?”

The dragon’s head lifted me, looking at me with big eyes.

“I got lost way too unexpectedly yesterday when you took me with you. I want to make sure that didn’t cause any ruckus.”

The dragon nodded understanding, but then lowered its head in disappointment.

“Awrrr…”

I placed my hands on the downside, stopping it from lowering any further. “It’s going to be alright. I’ll be back as soon as I can” I tried to cheer it up. “Oh, and… please don’t sneak into town again. It’s kind of… y’know”

The dragon looked back up to me.

“…Risky.”

“Okey. I stay. I like here!”

It looked around the place and smiled.

“…Here? I mean, I gotta be able to find you!”

“I fawn you?”

“Well, uh… I don’t know if I’ll be done with everything once you’re here. And I rather not have you stick around the town for too long…”

“Hrrmm… okay”

Giving a reassuring look, knowing that we’ll meet up again eventually, the dragon poked its snout forward and nuzzled me lovingly.

“Before I go… I know this question must sorta annoy you by now since you’ve heard it so often, but… have you seen my clothes?”

The dragon rolled its eyes but smiled, looking around. A little sniff at the ground here, a little trotting there and the dragon came back to me, carrying them and dropping them by my feet.

“Thank you!”

Hastily, I put them on, the dragon watching me intently as it always did when I was getting dressed.

“So there’s only one thing to left to do then… Dummerston’s a bit far away, isn’t it? You mind giving me a ride?”

“Nnnnnu.”

The dragon looked away, but was clearly smiling. It laid down on the ground, peeking back up at me and sticking its tongue out a bit. A little more experienced yet as awkward as I always did, I clambered onto its back. As soon as I got the stable hold by its shoulders and neck, the dragon lifted up, jumped off the ledge and made a bolt for the door, damn nearly bucking me off. But before I knew it, the dragon flapped hard and we were up in the air, the heavily beating wings making us gain altitude… It was always scary how fast those things went…

…

…

The day, a clear and blue sky surrounding us, was vibrant. The sun was nearly in its zenith and from up there it felt like I could watch the forest’s life happening beneath us for the short while we were flying along. Once the town came into our view so far that we could make out some of the familiar buildings, the unmistakable chapel tower and the count’s large and round roof of the hall gracefully reaching over, making the rest look almost pitiful, the dragon quickly lowered. Being hundreds of feet above the ground on the dragon’s back was still a scary experience, but at least not frightening the hell out of me, as I now knew what it was like to be up there in the air. And what an absolute ace of a flyer the dragon was.

A hasty peek inside the town was enough for us both to realize that trying to find a place suitable for landing inside would be too much of a hassle. The streets were filled, the stores and markets busy. No corner seemed desolate enough. Typical Dummerston’s vivid daytime. From the sky it hardly looked different than it did to me from the ground…

Descending in between tree tops and the huge dark wall running like a wedge through the forest, we touched down onto the ground. Bending its legs, the dragon lowered down and let me hop off. After a flight like that, the feeling of solid ground beneath my feet was always one of great relief. Not wasting a second, the dragon heavily pressed its snout into my chest and licked a couple times, while I petted all over its head. Already, I realized that letting each other go was not going to be easy…

“Thank you!” I said to it, grabbing its head by the sides and wiggling the cheeks around, the dragon smiling and leaning its head in.

“Mrrrrrhhhh… Yur wal.. rr.. wwwelcome”

The joy in me wasn’t for long, as my gaze wandered off to the wall next to us. Shoulders dropping, I sighed out…

“I might gonna be away for a bit.”

“I know…”

The dragon held its head a bit closer.

“We’ll meet right here this evening… okay?”

“Heer?” it asked, pointing at the ground.

“Yeah -well, around this part of the forest. I think you’ll spot me once I get out, with those many senses of yours.”

“Yap!”

I turned away for a bit, taking one small step away from the dragon.

“Alright… you don’t get yourself into any trouble in the meantime, okay?” I playfully asked it before leaving.

“Rrh.”

It looked at me attentively, trying to mooch off my speech ability to learn what to say and how to say it.

“N-not even lil’ bit? Heh.”

“Good to see you’re making progress… Well, yeah. Just watch yourself!”

I gave a quick kiss to its snout, before turning away.

“See ya!”

I only walked a couple steps, before freezing as I remembered something.

“Oh err… hold on a second.”

I stepped back to it, re-approaching a bit nervously. “Before I go, I wanted to ask you something… something about what I noticed whilst being in your body.”

The dragon stared at me intently.

“Rrh?”

“I’ve heard you say something like it… or think it. I don’t quite remember what it was, but do dragons have names?”

The dragon took a second to understand the question.

“Yees!” it cheerfully answered. “I am… er… uhm… seurrr... rrh… Seer? Sceer! Eh… Farrrr… reh…n. Nu! Fer- Ferin. Seer Ferin!”

“Uuh, so like… Fahren? Scír Fahren, or something like that?”

“Yah! Yah!” Fahren said, nodding his head rapidly. “Das me! Wada bou you?”

“My name? Uuuh, heh, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard it a couple times by now.”

“rr?... Murb! Hehehe, MURB!”

“Well… not exactly right, but pretty close! It’s Mervyn, actually!”

“Berbin!”

Fahren started laughing in a weird gurgly and throaty way…

“Are you doing that on purpose?” I laughed back. “Come on, say it right! At least once! ‘Not leaving til you got it.”

He nodded, though cheekily with his tongue out.

“Mmmmmmmm… Mm? Merbin.”

I saw his brow furrow. This must be pretty hard for him… The V sound required more precision with the lips than other letters.

“bin… c’bin”

Not getting it, the dragon tilted his head.

“Ha do you du deh?”

“You mean the v sound?”

“Y-yeh! Hau?”

“Well… I don’t quite know how to explain this. Just put your lips together. Like this! Vvvvv! Kinda like an f, but less sharp.”

“mmmb. Rr? Fin. Merfin.”

The dragon giggled by the funny variations of my name he accidentally kept producing.

“Yeah, just… maybe push your lower lip forward a little more?”

“Fhwurb! Murffhhn. Uhh, nu?”

“Oh! Try to get less air but more voice into it! I guess that what makes the main difference between an f and a v. Try it!”

“fffvvveh! OH”

“Yeah! Just like that!”

“vvvv… VVV! HAE! Merfin! Er… Mervin!”

The dragon beamed a big smile.

“Exactly!”

Tightly, I stepped forward and hugged around his chest. It was strange to hear… the dragon saying my name, and knowing the dragon’s -er, Fahren’s name felt unfamiliar as well.

When I squeezed, the dragon started howling, but cut off early as he noticed how close to the town we were, ruuu-ing lightly instead.

I pet him more… and even more, remaining still against his chest with the sunlight around us, realizing that I would have to go now. Spending the day away from my dragon always seemed so unthinkable when he was around. And when we were separated, it was impossible to get him off my mind. It took me more willpower each time I left it behind out here. I wasn’t sure if I’ll be able to do that for much longer…

“…I think I better get going” I said after a while, accepting that some things have to be for now. “I don’t want my friends in there to worry about me.”

“Awh, buh Merb-”

He cut off, quickly rolling its eyes as he got my name wrong again, but then just pet my head just like I was petting his…

“Awrrr…”

Fahren leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss. A kiss so soft and lovingly I couldn’t prevent my face running red.

“I love you. Lawts.”

“I love you too…”

Another tight hug here, some more petting there… I gave its chest one last kiss and forced myself to pull off.

“See you this evening then… Fahren.”

He just grinned at me. “RU!”

Sitting down to his haunches, he watched me go and I couldn’t help but crack a smile each time I looked back and spotted its eyes follow me.
