Frantically I searched our surroundings for any further insects as we left the underground passageway, thankfully there seemed to be none in the vicinity. Clear of the sunflowers we landed on a small flat hill. Exhaustion took both Inferno and Calamity, they dropped to the grassy ground catching their breath. I instantly embrace Calamity who takes the incentive by surprise and hugs back. I break the embrace, nuzzle both his snout and Inferno's and tell them I won't be gone long. Inferno protests but is to tired to stop me as I launch myself into the air towards the nearest forest.

Behind me a speckle of black dots against a grey dust cloud could be seen in the distant horizon as the enduring conflict between the giant wasps, bees and hornets continued to escalate, no longer any further concern of ours. The Tyrannical Bloodline had its perks, our endurance, speed, strength and resistance were unmatched by other dragon bloodlines. I soon found what I was searching for, prey. A grizzly bear scratching against a pine tree didn't see me swoop in from behind, I snatched it up to the skies and ended its life with a clean break of the neck.

Returning to the hill with fresh food in tow, instead of being greeted with excitement I am met with a furious Inferno who seems to have regained her energy as she immediately uses her newfound liveliness to lecture me, with a degree of passion I may add; stating that I was to never leave her side, travelling alone was strictly forbidden and future endeavours would incur her wrath tenfold to her current scolding. Over protective much! Apologising to her seemed to be the only way to shut her up and I made a mental note not to repeat this act out of the sake of my own sanity of having to listen to her complain again. After tearing, sharing and eating the meat I pluck the courage to speak my mind.

“Calamity, after everything that has just happened I want you to know that I...that I" I cough, hesitating momentarily as thoughts of my Sire's wrath enter my mind. NO! Not this time, to hell with my sire and his profound reigning. “That I am indeed in love with you, I have been since we first met on our group hunting trip, the reason why you were transferred from the Ivy Tribe to the Mountain Fortress, was to keep you close to me. To answer your earlier question, yes I desire your mateship" Calamity leaps with joy and renewed vigour, smiling happily, nuzzling my snout immediately, followed by a kiss on the cheek. I didn't dare stop the affection and was so glad to see the familiar mischievous grin across his face. I turn to face Inferno, her head loomed at the grassy terrain with such misery. “Also Inferno, if you must know, I have feelings towards you too and am considering the three way mateship you both spoke of earlier today" Her head lifted up with high spirits, her eyes gleamed at the answer, tail wagging frantically. Though an uncertain glance flashed over her features.

“Seriously my Tyrant?" Inferno asks, just before I cut her off, leaning in to kiss her deeply, taking her by surprise the uncertainty dissipates from her lovely eyes, replaced by anxiety. I break the kiss, my heart races as I say out loud with true pride.

“I want you both as my mates!" I was contented certainty, looking between the two and remember they have to be willing too, although I suspected Calamity already was. “If, of course the two of you desire such a thing?"

“Absolutely I do, my Dominion!" Calamity says with great excitement, pouncing on top of me, suddenly full of energy, nuzzling his snout into my neck, wagging his tail with such delight with his tongue lulling about. I suppose I just made his day. I smile and push him off me in order to embrace him extremely tightly, almost squeezing the breath out of the green cutie. Speaking up, Inferno responded to my question.

“Indeed I do too, I've come to terms with just how much you both mean to me in such a short time, at first I thought my emotions and admittedly heat had gotten the better of me and I tried to put my duty before my desire. However the more time I've spent around the pair of you, the more I've fallen for you both. I accept to mate with you both" Inferno says earnestly. She smiles and joins us both in the snuggling.

The three of us put our snouts together and chanted the mating ritual, a deep magic within us welling up and binding our mateship.

Together I take thee

Together we unite

Together we are whole

Together we shall remain

Our minds

Our hearts

Our souls

Bounded to divinity

Eternal is our entwining lives to the core of our essence

The resonating burn of our souls binding together formed our mateship, the link between us now allowed us to share our emotions and sense each others whereabouts, both would expand over time as our bound become much stronger. The three of us were now mated for life by a sacred bond.

With the influx of shared excitement and emotions that we felt flood from each other we immediately succumb to our desires of kissing each other or showing some form of affection for one another, not that it was needed considering last nights actions. Perhaps it was just part of the process. For the first time in my life I am truly happy. I should have mated Calamity years ago. Something I regret. I should have had more courage to stand up against my Sire. It took another to break past my boundaries and I am happy to have her by my side also. Sovereign's regulation to prevent different classes and coloured scales to mate had interfered with this process greatly, in fact it caused numerous mating problems for all dragonkin. I am not entirely sure if their warm happy feelings are influencing mine, it mattered not, it was a sensational moment, one I will cherish, one I had been striving for.

Calamity now belonged to me, as I did to him, Inferno was new, but I felt a twinkling of feeling with her that I'd only felt once before, and that was with Calamity when we had first spent time together, I would not make her wait as I had made Calamity, I could not neglect her. She is loyal, although still naive to the Dragon Realm ways. I no longer desired to return home even if I complete this extraction, I didn't want to face my Sire, to explain a three way mateship, a rarity, unheard of in recent times, I'd only read about it in old historic scrolls. My Sire's wrath would be intolerable, he would either disown me, exile us or worse separate us. Either I stand up to him or prepare to elope with these two if necessary. For now I will enjoy the brief freedom I have, see this extraction through for fellow dragonkin and worry about my Sire when the time comes.

I explain my difficulties with my Sire to them both. Calamity already knows and understands. Inferno felt vexed by the scenario, I guess in the Fire Realm things were different considering they were out of my Sires sight, so to speak. She soon comes round stating she will stand by me when facing Sovereign.

We spent a few more moments peppering each other with affection, though as our bodies tangled and untangled, I could still feel the remnants of the sticky honey between my scales, catching and becoming more tacky as we interacted and rubbed our bodies platonically together, it was beginning to irritate me greatly, not to mention we were all dehydrated. We needed to find a source of water before sunset. I reckon three thirds of the day, if not more, had been lost.

“Alright my loves, time to head out. Keep a sharp eye out for a water source" I command. “Let's go" They both nodded with certainty, stretching our wings we took to the green skies once more.
