Kidnaped
Imported from SF2 with no description.
It was late at night, the tavern was about to close. James's shift was almost over. As he entered the tavern, he stood by the enterace as Brian announced last call for alcohol.
James noticed three unfamiliar faces. Approached Brian for a final drink.
A grey and blue scaled dragon asked for another round of alcohol, and two elves accompanied the dragon. The dragon was incredibly drunk. “Sorry laddie, cut off you are. Too much whiskey ya' had", Brian said.
The dragon snarled at Brian, clearly agitated from Brian cutting him off.
James exited the tavern, he took the pendant Gillian gave him. “Alenia, a very drunk, and agitated dragon at the tavern. I need you to back me up", James spoke into the pendant.
On the other side of town inside her cave, Alenia heard James's request for backup.
“Ok, Kids... I gotta help uncle James ok. Stay here and be good", Alenia spoke to her offspring. “Yes mom", they replied.
Alenia took flight to the tavern.
Alenia landed at the tavern entrance, and The agitated dragon was yelling and cussing James and Brian out. James tried to calm the dragon down as he spoke to the dragon, trying to deescalate the situation.
The dragon bit down on James's armor and threw James across the room. James landed on the floor and began coughing, as he had his breath knocked from him.
“Hey! Asshole! You don't assault my guards!" Alenia said. The other dragon snarled at Alenia. The dragon lunged at her.
Alenia lunged back at the dragon who assaulted James.
James got up and two elves tried to jump him. James grabbed a chair and threw the chair at one of them. The drunken elf had little time to react and his motor skills where very delayed. The chair struck the elf and knocked him to the floor. James turned to the other elf and he punched the elf in the face.
Alenia was pinned by the strange dragon, and the dragon bit Alenia on the neck. Alenia roared in pain, The dragon did not let go of her throat and she could not breathe. Blood began running down her neck as she gasped for air.
James pulled his rifle which was slung over his shoulder. And aimed for the dragon's head. James pulled the trigger and the projectile hit him in the forehead. The dragon fell lifeless on Alenia and Alenia coughed violently. One of the elves took a beer bottle, and smashed it against the wall. The elf clearly intended on using it as a weapon against James.
“James! Behind you!" Alenia managed to scream.
The elf thrusted the beer bottle towards James's neck. James knocked the elf's arm away from his neck, which deflected the potentially deadly blow. James then kicked the side of the elf's knee and shattered the elf's knee. James then grabbed the Elf's head and smashed the elf's face against his knee. The elf laid on the floor unconscious.
More guards came to James and Alenia's aid. The two elves detained and the area was secured.
“Alenia, you're hurt!" James said as he took his armor off. James then took his shirt off and began adding pressure to her wounds.
“You saved me", Alenia said.
“Of course! You got my back. Why would I not have yours?" James replied.
Alenia gave James a smile. “Gillian would be very proud of you", Alenia said.
“Well, we'll see what the clan leaders say. We got a dead dragon from this situation", James said. “That dragon was very strong, you're fortunate he didn't kill you. He certainly would have killed me. That dragon had more fight than I had and had you not done what you did? He'd rip my throat out. Remember, dragons are naturally armed and naturally deadly. Luckily for you, your armor has a spell to protect you from a bite, but in such situations like this, never approach one who causes trouble. Especially dragons who are outsiders. Next time it might be your neck in it's Jaws. You keep your weapon drawn when dealing with a dragon who is an outsider and in such a state of mind. Sasha is too important to loose. She's the biggest military asset we have. If you die, so does she", Alenia said.
Traza entered the tavern to treat Alenia's wounds. “Remove your shirt from Alenia's neck, James. I must see her wounds", Traza said. James complied and blood jetted from Alenia's neck and landed on James's face.
“This is a serious wound. James, keep pressure on the wound", Traza said.
James pressed on the wound and Traza grabbed some herbs out of her pack.
“She brought the herbs to Alenia's snout. “Chew on this", Traza said.
Alenia opened her mouth, Traza placed the herbs on her tongue. “Yuck!" Alenia said as she tried to spit out the herbs.
“Alenia, quit being such a goddamn carnivore and chew", James teasingly said as he put the herbs back in her mouth.
Alenia gave a weak chuckle at James's comment. The herbs began to slow the bleeding, and Traza placed a salve on the wounds and bandaged the wounds.
“You'll heal in a few days. James, take this Salve and clean the wounds three times a day. Then place the salve on the wounds and give her new bandages", Traza said.
It was dawn and Alenia woke, She saw Sasha sleeping with her hatchlings. “Sasha" She said. Sasha stirred from her sleep and looked back at Alenia".
“Where's James?" Alenia asked. Sasha pointed at her neck.
“Is James ok?" Alenia asked. Sasha nodded her head affirmatively. “Your offspring are taken care of in the nursery. James's minor wounds should be close to healing in a few more hours. After that, he'll dress your wounds. Get some sleep, my friend", Sasha said as she laid her head down.
James stirred from his sleep.
James continued to bask in the sensation of Sasha's throat relentlessly tried to push his body deeper, yet couldn't because of him being in her storage pouch. James let a sigh in content as Sasha's throat muscles caressed his body, and her saliva soothing his wounds.
“It's always such an intimate thing, being inside of you. It never gets old", James said as he rubbed the back of her tongue with his hand. Sasha responded with a purr.
She began swallowing just to make her throat muscles clench around James tighter. Her throat gripped him and caressed him from his neck to his feet.
Several minutes passed, and James squirmed and moaned in pleasure as he climaxed.
Sasha continued to purr as James squirmed. “You earned it", Sasha whispered as she closed her eyes in content with pleasuring James.
It was latter in the morning, James was dressing Alenia's wounds. Alenia cringed as James was cleaning the old salve off of her wounds. James then began placing new salve on her wounds and Alenia hissed in pain. “Do you want me to stop for a minute? we can take a break before I place new bandages on?" James asked. “No, let's get this over with", Alenia said.
James began bandaging the wounds on her neck, and Alenia cringed and hissed as he applied pressure to the bandages.
“It done, just get some rest. I'll dress the wounds again this afternoon. I'll then do it once more after my shift", James said.
“There is no shift for you. You're on leave after a shooting. There will be a major investigation, there will also be an interrogation after the investigation", Alenia said.
“I'm not concerned at all. I got the captain of the guard to testify as someone involved, and had I not done it, the clan would guard would have lost another captain, Sasha and I would loose a friend. But worst of all, Gillian's offspring would have no mother, they've already lost Gillian before they where eggs in your nest", James said.
“Well said, thank you for saving me", Alenia said.
“Just doing my job", James replied as he rubbed Alenia's shoulder.
“False you care about me", Alenia said.
“I always take care of my friends. Even if one is a cop", James said.
“Still don't care for law enforcement", Alenia said.
“Nope... Not at all. I hate authority. I hate the fact that I am a cop too. On the surface world, I'd ride dirt bikes on streets, ridding wheelies, which is illegal. This made cops chase me. Then I'd give them the bird, yell sit and spin at them, and loose them", James said.
“Give them the bird? What does that mean?" Alenia asked.
James stuck his middle finger in the air.
“I have no idea what that means", Alenia said.
“F-you", James replied.
“Ooooohhhhhhhh... So.... You hated them", Alenia said.
“You have no idea", James replied.
“But without police in your world there would be chaos", Alenia said.
“I'd rather deal with the inconvenience of too much liberty than bear witness of the consequences of having too little of it", James said.
“Liberty is something we have here. People are virtually free to do as they will. So long as their conduct is appropriate and they don't get violent", Alenia said.
“I'm the dude who always wondered how I never been in Jail. When you arrested me, that was my first time being in Jail", James admitted.
“What! That was your first time? I thought Sasha fell in love with an insane madman when you shot Kalix", Alenia said.
“Oh, there was more to it than that. Sasha had a complete emotional breakdown with what he did. It was a heart crushing sight for me to witness. Have you noticed I never apologized for my actions?" James said.
“So you think you're still in the right?" Alenia said.
“Of course I am", James replied.
“James... You're insane. Good thing you got Sasha and kids. You're forced to settle down", Alenia said.
“Yah, it took the most powerful dragon in the clan to tame this human", James said.
Alenia looked confused. “How did you know she is the most powerful?" Alenia asked.
“No one knows magic like she does. Also, no one is as fast as she is. Both in flight, and fighting. I figured it out", James said.
“She is... In fact she could overtake the entire city and rule with an iron fist if that's what she wanted. That's why all have so much respect for her, as well as a hint of fear", Alenia said.
“I noticed", James said ominously, recalling her actions among the clan leaders.
“You've seen her temper before then", Alenia stated.
“Yup, it took allot for me to calm her down", James said.
“You... Calmed her down! James, only two things will make her truly angry. Lies, and promise breaking. You calmed her down in this situation then?" Alenia said.
“Yes, that's exactly what happened. It took several minutes, she even snarled at me with black eyes. That's when I got angry at her. That calmed her down. It's exactly the opposite of what I thought would happen.
“All I can say is, you have no idea how much she loves you. When she's that angry, someone dies. And she knows when it's legal to do it. She's done it before", Alenia said.
“Good thing I was there... That's all I'll say", James said.
“Who made her mad?" Alenia asked.
“I won't answer. I said too much already", James said.
Sasha flew in the cave with a stag. She approached Alenia. “Would you like to eat?" Sasha said. “It's very difficult to swallow. The bite to my throat really makes it too difficult to eat. I'm ok, you should eat", Alenia said giving Sasha a smile.
“Ok... Rest well, my friend", Sasha said.
“There's an important matter. Those elves last night wore Mannan Mac Lir's crest. Their broaches had his crest. Those two elves are his people", Alenia said.
“You mean the king of the faeries?" James said.
“Oh you'd know who he is? By the way, this could get very political with him", Alenia said.
“This is bad. We could get on a god's bad side", James said.
“He's no god, just a narcissistic asshole who put enough fear in people's hearts to worship him", Alenia said.
“In my astral travels as a kid, I've met him. I went through a hole in the tree roots, similarly to how Sasha brought me here, but it was in astral travel. Anyways, as I passed through, an elf woman saw me. She wanted me to follow her, so I did. I was lead to this massive table filled with all kinds of food. She asked me if I was hungry. At first I didn't think much of it, but as I reached for some food, something didn't feel right. Something in me told me not to take any food. When I retracted my hand, the woman laughed. Then she said you're no fool, follow me. That's when I actually met Mannan Mac Lir. James said.
“And what did he do when you met him? Sasha asked.
“He pulled out his sword. And said to me, this sword has a name. It's called Answer. It can force the truth out of anyone he points it at", James said.
“This is true", His sword is really what made him a true god in human lore", Sasha said.
“He pointed the sword at me and asked what I wanted most. I answered I just to have normal parents, to grow up happily, live happily. His face actually saddened.
He said, unfortunately I cannot help you with this. But I will tell you this. You'll get through it. Your intuition is strong, and your heart is strong. That's what he said.
“Yes, it is strong. I brought you here to preserve who you are", Sasha said as she gave a lick on the cheek.
“And I'm glad you didn't eat the food. It's a game the sidhe play. It all about fairness. What you take, you must give in return or bear consequences", Sasha added.
“Save for the fact of you making me a cop.
In terms of preserving who I am. I'd rather do wheelies on a dirt bike, give them the bird and outrun them", James said.
“James, even if Sasha let you do that, what makes you think a dirt bike can outrun a dragon?" Alenia said.
“Ummmm... Good point. Dirt bikes are good for outrunning police cruisers, but not good for outrunning dragons", James replied.
“Yes, as I'd psychically watch over you. You where always reckless", Sasha said as she rolled her eyes.
“Don't worry, I won't let our offspring be that way", James said.
“How about you staying alive? You are not to go back on duty until you learn magic. Sasha should teach you. She's the best sorceress in the clan", Alenia said.
“Oh, I'd teach him everything I'd know. I'll start with him tomorrow", Sasha said in excitement.
“As long as it isn't the spooky magic", James said.
Sasha drew a large circle with a script in its perimeter . To James's horror, it was the same one she drew when he met her ancestors. “Oh no... I ain't doing that again", James said as he became walking backwards. Sasha placed her tail behind them. “We meet no one, James. It's just you and me", Sasha said.
“Just being in the land of the dead is a bad thing", James said.
“Bad? No... It's like any other world you'd find. There's friendly ones and unfriendly ones. Just as any other place. However, it's just you and me, no souls of the dead.
Getting to the land of the dead is never an issue, It's coming back", James replied.
“Well, we did it once? What are you scared of? More importantly, what are you going to do on Shamhain?" Sasha said.
“Take the little ones trick or treating of course", James replied.
“Stop being a dork and get in the circle!" Sasha yelled pushing James in the circle.
James collapsed on the floor unconscious in the circle.
“I'm not sure if he's scared or if he is toying with you", Alenia said.
Sasha entered the circle, she fell unconscious and joined James.
“Hi spooky one", James said.
“The spooky part hasn't even begun yet. Let me explain something, try not to be so ornery. Dragons gain more magical abilities when they eat. You recall after the war, I ate an elk and a stag". It was due to me using so much energy.
As for humans, they're both more and less complicated. You'll regenerate just simply from resting. The complicated part is knowing which chakra is strongest. That's how you'll use your magic.
“How do I figure this out?", James asked.
“Most do meditation, what we are doing is quicker. However, this is what you'd call spooky", Sasha said.
I must cut you open on every Chakra. Only ones I don't need to is your crown or root.
But your third eye, throat, heart, and your solar plexus must be looked at so I can see where the source of your inner magic is", Sasha said.
“Cut me open? The fuck you are!" James screamed.
“It can't kill you, James. Although you do feel pain. So don't not struggle. I'll accidentally cut too deep and we'll have to start over. This is why we are here instead of the otherworld", Sasha stated.
“No... Sasha! Jesus fucking Christ... Get away!" James screamed as he ran away.
Sasha sighed and took flight after him.
Quickly, she landed on top of him.
“Sorry James" she said as her eyes turned black. She pinned his head with one foot, and brought a sharp claw to his forehead. The claw pierced his skin. James began screaming. Sasha ignored him and proceeded. She then peeled his skin away to reveal his third eye chakra.
“Lots of magic here in the third eye. But,
I must proceed to make sure", Sasha said.
Sasha moved her claw to James's throat and began cutting into his skin. James grabbed her claw and tried to push it away.
I have all day, James. But the sooner I'm done, the sooner it all ends", Sasha said.
James kept making his pathetic attempt to push the claw away, ignoring every word.
Sasha sighed and casted a spell on James. To James's horror, he was paralyzed.
I'll make this quick", Sasha said. She cut James's throat, chest, and abdomen. She inspected James's chakras. James screamed in pain.
“It's your third eye. Sooner we leave, the sooner the pain stops", Sasha said.
James woke up, he patted his forehead, rubbed his throat, and inspected his abdomen. No cuts where there.
Sasha sat up.
“Tomorrow I'll teach you how to channel your magic"
“No! Fuck you and your goddamn fucking magic! Sit and fucking spin you overgrown lizard!" James screamed in a fit of rage as he interrupted Sasha.
“Easy James", Sasha bade.
“Don't say easy to me! Oh no!
You took me in that circle! I had no idea you'd do that! And you did it on fucking purpose! Oh you're a real piece of work!
Pushing me in just to fucking harm me without harming yourself!" James screamed.
“James's please. Calm down" Sasha said as she tried to rub him with her muzzle. “Blinded by anger, fear, and distrust, James punched Sasha several times as he walked backwards. Sasha continued to try to remind him she loved him and it didn't work.
“Sasha! Stop!" Alenia said.
“What?" Sasha asked.
James ran out of the cave.
“I don't know what happened, but wow... He's having a panic attack", Leave him alone. He'll calm down on his own. I've see this before", Alenia said.
“I must remind him that he's got to watch over you and the offspring. I'm worried he'll go to the tavern and get very drunk again", Sasha said as she exited her cave.
“Sasha!" Alenia shouted. Sasha turned to her attention to Alenia as she stood outside the cave. “Go easy on him", Alenia said.
Sasha sighed and remembered James's past. Him being in pain and in the situation where he was helpless would send him off in a panic. “Don't worry, I'll go easy on him", Sasha replied before taking flight.
Sasha found James on main street. James was making his way to the tavern. Sasha felt angered that James became blind to his duties as a father, and him looking after Alenia. “James! Wait!" Sasha shouted as she landed and walked next to him.
“I'm going to the tavern. Not to get drunk. I'm just buying a bottle of ale and taking it back to the cave. Just a drink to relax a little. My nerves are shot. I haven't forgotten about of taking care of Alenia and the kids", James said.
“Ok, I'll take you there. It's quicker", Sasha said. “I can walk. You can wait till I get back. It'll only take ten minutes, James said.
“James, I got to go", Sasha said.
“Goddamn it! Shut your motherfucking mouth and fucking go then!" James screamed as his blood boiled He snapped and interrupted Sasha again.
Sasha recoiled back at James's words. As her eyes turned black.
Other clan members stared at James and Sasha.
Sasha began to feel embarrassed at the situation. She took flight.
James took a deep breath. “Damn, I shouldn't have snapped like that... She was just trying to help, I've never completely blacked out in rage at this level before. What's happening to me?" James asked himself.
Sasha entered the clan leader's cave. She sat down. Two werewolf guards brought two elves before the leaders.
“You two", you face charges of assault and disorderly conduct. This is your pre-trial.
How do you plead to these charges", Alestir said.
“Guilty", one elf replied
“Not guilty", the other elf replied.
Alestir noticed the one who pleaded not guilty had a crutch and a splint running across his leg. The elf's face was also badly beaten. Alestir looked at a piece of paper. It had a statement from that elf saying James used excessive force then he fought the elf.
“Both of you will get to testify to us on charges against you, as well as any complaints on the guards. However, the guards too must be present. This will happen during the trial", Alestir stated as he handed the elf's complaint to the leaders.
“Sasha, for the sake of the clan being unbiased in this matter, you are relieved of your duty for this case", Alestir said.
“Why? Does this involve James?" Sasha asked.
Yes it does, and him being a guard he must explain the situation to unbiased ears", Alestir said.
“I want to hear it, I'd rather be here than home right now. Things are complicated with him and I", Sasha said
If things are complicated, I cannot have you on that issue as well. I cannot have you if I suspect animosity between you two", Alestir said.
“I don't have animosity. James had a panic attack as Alenia called it. He also called me an overgrown lizard. While that comment hurt me the most, I understand he's not mentally sound", Sasha whispered to Alestir",
“What did you do to cause that?", Alestir said.
“It was an incident when I taught him magic. It sent him over the edge. He needs some space till he calms down", Sasha said.
“You can stay for the pre-trial. But when the actual trial begins, you must go after the leaders vote you to leave", Alestir said.
“Thank you", Sasha replied.
“That's not for you, it's for James. He's the one who saved me from you", Alestir said.
“All in favor of Sasha's absence in the trial?" Alestir asked. The other four agreed to Sasha's absence.
“You're free to go, Sasha", Alestir said.
Sasha let out a sigh. She walked out of the cave and took flight to her cave.
James was cleaning Alenia's wounds again.
“You're very silent. That is quite unusual for you", Alenia said.
“Well, me and Sasha had a hell of a confrontation", James said.
“I hope it's not too severe", Alenia said.
“Well, it wouldn't have been so bad. But my panic attack gotten better of me and I blindly degraded her", James said.
“Don't worry, worst case scenario, you'll be in the dog house for a while", Alenia said.
“A long while", I've never cussed her out before... Until today", James said.
“Why would you do what you did? Calling a dragon an overgrown lizardis an insult we ourselves never heard of, yet it's extremely insulting. That one hurt my feelings even though that insult wasn't directed at me. I can only imagine how Sasha feels", Alenia asked.
James cringed. “I called her that?" He said.
“Yes! You don't recall calling her that? Alenia said.
James had a blank look on his face and then sighed. “I don't recall".
“That's not good. Your past really messed your head up", Alenia said.
“What happened when we entered the land of the dead. It set me off my rocker I guess, James said.
“My guess that ale was for the situation? To calm your nerves?" Alenia asked.
“Exactly", James said.
“May I ask what happened?" Alenia asked.
“I'll keep that one between her and I. The both of us must work this one out ourselves. I also broke a promise to myself", James said.
“Good answer... What was your promise?" Alenia asked.
“That I wouldn't act like the white trailer trash with my family. Never treating my family like my parents did. They where vile people, if you knew them you'd despise them too. Sasha gave me flashbacks of them", Somehow I mistook Sasha for my own mother", James said.
“I question your mental stability, James. That freak out that you had is the opposite of the mind I need guards to have", Alenia said.
“Trauma does things to humans most beings in the otherworld don't understand", James said.
“That may be so, but you having flashbacks and panic attacks is not mental stability", Alenia said.
“As long as it isn't Sasha causing that, I doubt it'll happen.
I only have one question. What does it mean when Sasha's eyes turn black?" James asked.
Did her eyes turn black when she gave you your first lesson? If so, they turn black every time she casts a spell. A blind rage will make her eyes turn black, or if she decides to shut out any emotion she has, they'll turn black", Alenia said.
James paused a moment, thinking about which of the three fit best as she cut him open. “She cut herself from her emotion", James thought to himself.
“Thanks, that explains allot", James said as he patted her shoulder and made way to Gale and Solas Na Gaeli.
James moved to a bag of meat. He placed one large piece on a small table and took out a knife and began cutting it into small pieces. Sasha walked inside of the cave silently.
She saw James cutting the meat.
“James, when you calm down I'd like to talk to you", Sasha said.
James finished cutting the meat and placed it on two plates. He handed it to Gale as Solas Na Gaeli.
“Yah, I need to talk to you too. I treated you like crap. In public on top of it... I snapped, I'm sorry", James said.
Sasha's eyes went black again, then switched green and James noticed this.
“I recall you once told me not to shut out your emotions when we where in the keep due to the drow invasion. Do you remember?" James said.
“I do", Sasha replied.
“You doing the same is also important. I never have like it when your eyes turned black", James said.
Sasha looked at Alenia. “You told him!"Sasha said.
“It is not Alenia's fault that your eyes give you away", James said in attempt to lower Sasha's suspicions.
Sasha held her head down. “No... He figured me out". Sasha thought to herself.
“Sorry for snapping at you, Alenia", Sasha said.
“Sasha, in the surface world I did have a very hard life. Traumas have consequences that can permanently wound a human for life in an emotional sense. What happened when we passed through the circle you created... It sent me over the edge. I am not mentally capable of coping with that. Especially when it's you who did what you did. I do understand why you did it, to properly teach me magic and all. But that way wasn't the way to do it with me.
I am sorry for snapping at you, as well as calling you an overgrown lizard. I don't even know how those words even came to mind", James said.
Sasha sighed... “I love you, she said even though she still felt allot of uncertainty.
and I thought it was something pertaining to that. I should have kept your past in mind. I'm sorry too. I really didn't mean for things to go the way it did. However, I need to talk about something else. Those two elves you and Alenia arrested. The trial is soon, I've been ordered to sit this case out", Sasha said.
“I figured as much sense James is your mate. Don't worry, he did nothing wrong. I have his back. Even the elf that James injured had a broken beer bottle, which is lethal to James. I find actions very justifiable", Alenia said.
“Good to know", Sasha said.
“Moonlight... Eat your food", James said.
“Mmmmhhhh... No", Solas Na Gaeli said.
“Excuse me?" James said.
“Meet not bloody", Solas Na Gaeli said.
James looked at Sasha with a clueless look on his face.
Alenia laughed...
“James if only you could see the clueless you are. That was priceless", Sasha said.
“Great... I got a picky eater here", James said.
“You're not supposed to drain the blood, James. Dragons like the taste of both meat and blood, like it was just torn away from a carcass", Sasha explained.
“Gale is eating it", James replied.
“Gale is not picky, Solas Na Gaeli is", Sasha said.
“Dad's little savage", James said as he patted Solas Na Gaeli's head.
“I must go and get more meat and prepare it properly then", James said and exited the cave.
Sasha sighed and laid down, emotionally drained by James's incident.
“He loves you, don't worry. It's not entirely his fault when you consider his moment of insanity", Alenia said.
“It isn't entirely his fault. The alarming thing to me is how he called me an overgrown lizard. I have had a past of being ridiculed for my appearance and he hit me right where it hurt", Sasha said.
“I told James calling you an overgrown lizard was a big mistake. He didn't even recall calling you that until I brought it up to him. To me, that's alarming because I now question if he is even mentally stable enough to do guard duty", Alenia said.
“Well, that's a big issue. Revoking him of his duty also means revoking his membership in the clan", Sasha said.
“It does... Which means he is not protected legally. However, what if he was to snap on duty the consequences could be much worse, Sasha. I had a bad feeling on giving him the ability to walk", Alenia said.
“I promised him he'd thrive. It's true tides turn, but a promise is literally a binding contract. I won't break that. If he must leave however, I too will go. I will not abandon him", Sasha said.
“Sasha, you can't just quit", Alenia said.
“If he must leave, so will I. That's non negotiable", Sasha said.
“I do have the authority to repost him. Make him a clerk, quartermaster, armorer, jail guard. There's options, please don't overreact", Alenia said.
“The first three sounds the best fit for him. Clerk, quartermaster, or armorer", Sasha said.
“I'll have the armorer take James's post. I trust him to do the duties James does. I also trust him with my own life. So, James will be the armorer then. He'll also guard our weapons, issue weapons, and things of that sort. The only problem is, he'll be working the same shift you have as a clan leader", Alenia said.
“Works for me, it's safer than his previous duties", Sasha said.
James was walking down main street towards Sasha's cave. In the alley, three men tracked James and as James passed the alley, a hand covered his mouth and pulled him back. James dropped the bag of meat for his kids. James struggled, but James felt something hard hit him on the head and the world around him faded into darkness.
Sasha clutched her head. “Oh I got a really bad headache", she said.
“Dragons don't get headaches, Sasha", Alenia stated.
“Then what is... Oh no! James!" She screamed as she ran out of the cave and took flight.
“Damn it! Always something", Alenia said.
Sasha landed next to the meet market. She approached the clerk. “Which way did James go?" Sasha asked. The clerk pointed in the same direction as she came from.
Sasha walked down the street, looking for any clues.
She then came across a bag of raw bloody meat, freshly packed.
She looked down the alley.
Sasha took flight, screaming to lock down the city. The guards began to close the gates. The city was shut down, no one allowed inside, or outside.
“James!" Sasha screamed.
“Guards! Find James!" She screamed.
Eventually all guards where searching for James.
James woke up, his head felt like it was splitting in half. James moaned in pain as he became conscious again.
Sasha clutched her head as she was flying. Sasha slammed into a tower as her headache drew her attention away from what was in front of her as she was flying.
“Shut up, human! Or I'll slit your throat", a masculine voice said.
James looked at his neck and a dagger was lightly pressed against his neck.
“I'll be quiet. However, may I ask what it is you want?" James asked.
“You don't remember this insignia, do you?"
James looked at the insignia and noticed it was Mannan Mac Lir's.
“Oh fuck", James thought to himself.
“You arrested two elves. And you took the life of Malec. He was a good friend of Mannan Mac Lir. If we think your explanation is fair, we'll take you to him alive and let him be the judge of it", the voice said.
“Malec tried to kill me. He also tried to kill Alenia. The captain of the guard. I could not stand idly or else we both would be dead. He was drunk, and very unreasonable. All this simply occurred because he was enrage that Brian cut him off. Had he just left peaceably, none of this would have happened", James said.
“Not good enough, Human", the voice said.
“You really don't want to hurt me. I'm Sasha's mate. You know... The black dragon with green eyes. She's relatively small, but if she finds you, you won't live long", James said.
The knife was pulled away from his throat. One voice began screaming in Gaelic at another. The other two bagan speaking as well, seemingly in panic. “Good, I scared the shit out of them", James thought to himself.
“No dragon like her would mate with a human. That's just impossible", One elf said to James. “Tell that to my offspring with her. Why do you think I had a bag of blood soaked meat when you kidnapped me? You know, what baby dragons eat. Sidhe are good at detecting lies. Come on now, don't deny the mess you've got yourselves into", James said.
One of them punched James it the face.
“Shut up! You dragon fucking piece of shit!" One elf screamed.
“Maybe if I can keep them screaming, it'll attract attention and someone will find me?" James thought to himself.
Sasha woke up. Her vision was blurry.
“Sasha what happened? You just crashed into a tower!" Alestir said.
“James has been abducted, we must find him", Sasha said.
“Sasha, are you sure?" Alestir said.
“Alestir! A bag of meat for my offspring was left I front of Main Street! James bought that! I get terrible headaches, someone knocked James out and took him! I know it!" Sasha screamed.
“Sasha, you locked the city down, you better eventually come up with real proof of it", Alestir said.
“Find him Alestir! Remember, you owe him!"
He save you from me, time for you to return the favor!" Sasha yelled as she took flight.
“Sasha... Can you hear me?" James thought.
“James! Where are you? Are you ok?"
“I'm a captive. Three elves are my captors. However, I believe I'm still inside of the city. I think they're waiting for the city lockdown to end", James said.
“Hang in there, James. We'll find you", Sasha said.
“If you do, do not kill the elves. They're Mannan Mac Lir's cronies", James said.
“I really wish you didn't tell me that", I want them to die a terrible death", Sasha said.
“If you find me, do not kill them. It's important you don't. Although I encourage you to put fear into them. I'm not opposed to you making them wish you killed them either", James said in his thoughts.
“Don't worry James we're coming", Sasha said.
James's vision disappeared as a burley sack was placed over his head.
Move human, if you resist, you're dead", an elf said. James heard a door open and he could see the daylight through the sack, but it still blocked his vision to the point he could not make out his location.
“Sasha, we are outside", James said in his thoughts.
“James, where exactly are you?" Sasha replied.
“I have a burley sac over my head. I can't see where I am", James said.
James heard the sound of children's play, he then recognized the voice of Alenia's children. If he recognized their voices, he must be very close to the nursery.
“Sasha, by the nursery. I heard Alenia's kids", James said in his thoughts.
Sasha took flight to the nursery.
James felt the hand of one elf push down on his shoulder. James lowered himself on a knee. He felt like the elves sought cover.
“James, I'm at the nursery", Sasha said.
“Roar, Sasha" James said in thought.
Sasha roared and the elves recoiled in fear.
“Sasha, we are not far from you, Do you see us? James asked in thought.
“I don't", Sasha replied.
“Ok, you'll have to track us my smelling me out. Just like our hunting game", James said in thought.
The elves stayed where they where, trying to avoid Sasha.
“An elf push James, hinting James to get moving again.
“On the move again. I don't know, but I think I'm on Main Street?" James thought.
“How can you be on Main Street? I don't see you at all", Sasha replied.
“Magic maybe? We all could be cloaked. Quick Sasha, track me down", James thought. Sasha tracked James's scent.
“James, I can see cloaked creatures. I see nothing", Sasha said.
“Who says it's your common form of cloaking, because obviously I'm somehow cloaked. Hurry, before they get away with me", James replied in thought.
Sasha kept smelling. As she smelled, the elves James accompanied realize Sasha getting closer to their trail.
Their casual walk turned into a run as they forced James to run with them once Sasha was so close. Sasha made a hiss and her eyes blackened. As she heard them when they ran.
She chased them a short distance.
James felt a massive force push him to the ground. James then got up and ran behind Sasha and leaped on her.
“I got one of them under my fright front foot", Sasha said.
“Reveal yourself, Elf", Sasha said.
The elf revealed himself, he also uncloaked James.
“Good job, Sasha. You got one of the bastards. Thank you?" James said.
Sasha looked a broach with Mannan Mac Lir's crest engraved on it. Sasha stared at the elf mouth slightly open revealing her teeth. Her black eyes bore into the elf's soul. Drool came from her mouth and landed on the elf's shoulder.
“She's quite bloodthirsty when she's pissed, elf. Maybe explaining why you did it will save you?" James said.
“I cannot speak of my purpose. I swore an oath", the elf said. James jumped off of Sasha. He grabbed the elf's hand. James pressed the elf's index finger on Sasha's dagger like teeth, drawing blood.
“I highly doubt this dragon cares about your oath, Elf. Her teeth are quite sharp", James said.
“I refuse to speak", the elf said.
Sasha snarled at the elf, pressing him hard against the stone street as she drooled heavily on the elf.
“I'll swallow you whole, elf. I'll cast a spell on you so you cannot die from lack of air. No... You'll die in the most painful way I can give you". It'd be my pleasure to destroy you so slowly", Sasha said.
“I won't speak", the elf said.
True to her word, Sasha casted a spell on the elf. She bit on his clothing, and tossed him straight up in the air and he fell into her mouth.
Sasha swollowed him whole sending him to her stomach. “Yuck... Clothes", She stated.
“Yah the only one you're allowed to eat without clothes is me, sorry Sasha", James said teasingly at her.
“I'm not intending to kill him. Just make him feel enough pain till he'll talk", Sasha said.
“Being digested alive is a form of torture. Not a fan of it, but... I guess this one is an exception", James said.
Sasha purred as she was quite content feeling the elf squirm. “Squirm more elf. Your pain is my pleasure", Sasha said as she stared at her belly.
Alestir approached Sasha.
“Sasha! You found him", Alestir said.
“I did"... She said as she continued purring.
“Where's James's captive?" Alestir asked.
Sasha pointed at her stomach. Alester's eyes widened.
“You shouldn't have killed him. He's an important part of us finding out what Mannan Mac Lir wants", Alestir said.
“Who said he's dead? I am quite skilled at magic. It's just my method of getting him to talk", Sasha said.
“Sasha you cannot do this", Alestir said.
“I can't? He's probably one of Mac Lir's spies. They kidnapped James. For what reason I wonder? I'd call him a military combatant of a sort. There's no laws that protect an enemy. Since I caught him, it means his fate is mine to deal with. You have no say in it, Alestir", Sasha said.
“Damn, you're wickedly cruel when angry", James said.
“I recall you saying you want me to make them wish they where dead", Sasha said as she lowered her shoulder for James.
“I did... But... Damn"... James said.
Sasha and James took flight home.
Several minutes later, they arrived at the cave.
“Ah! You found him!" Alenia said as she lied on the cave floor.
“Yes, it was quite a day. Had a fight with James, James got kidnapped, Had to save James. Today was a very rough day. A human mate is more work than offspring", Sasha said.
“Facts", James said in agreement.
Gale began growling and pulling on James's shirt.
“Oh you want to go? You little rascal"; James said as he began play fighting with Gale. Solas Na Gaeli sat and watched in amusement as the two played.
“And a human mate is like having a third offspring. He's thirty, but acts like a hatchling", Sasha said.
“Yup, you two desperately need eachother", Alenia added.
“James! Bed time", Sasha said.
“What about the elf?" James asked.
“I'll deal with him in the morning. Come with me to the other part of the cave. I'm tucking you in", Sasha said.
“Ok", James said as he lifted Gale off of him.
James followed where no one can see them.
James undressed himself, Sasha began to swallow him feet first.
After several gulps, James was tucked away inside Sasha's throat, secured in her storage pouch. “Much better than the elf", She teasingly said.
She entered back to the main part of the cave. “Gale! Solas Na Gaeli! Bedtime! No playing, mom's nerves are shot", Sasha Said.
