Cade's 1st Pov

The coolness of Lilith's scales wakes me up along with my body being shaken slightly. Opening my eyes I am greeted by Lilith's lovely face as she looks down at me. The light of the sun making her look similar to an angel or goddess as her beauty is simply enrapturing. Beauty? Yeah, she looks amazingly beautiful, maybe I'll actually allow her to make me hers. Wait what in the hell am I thinking?!

I sit up lightly and hold the covers over myself lightly and yawn. "What is it, Lilith?" I ask with a soft groggy voice. She kisses me light on the lips stunning me for a split second, before looking to her in confusion.

"Just thought I'd wake you up early for when you go and make your stuff with father, I hope you don't mind if I tag along though." She says to me with a soft smile. Why would I mind?

"Of course I don't mind." I say to her before yawning again and stretching. "Grh! What time is it anyways?" I ask and she shrugs.

"Dunno, though I'd say around four in the morning." She says as the rain outside pours down. Cool, it's actually raining!

"Alright then, so should I get my clothes on now, or should I wait for a little bit for everyone to wake up?" I ask her and she rubs her chin lightly.

"Wait a bit, no one ever wakes up this early, not even the guards are fully awake right now. So just stay here in bed and be nude with me." She says to me softly and I rest my head against her large chest and rub her belly lightly feeling each of her scales and just to mess with her. She grazes her claw tips against my back lightly making me shudder and shiver with delight and move in closer to her form. "I found your spot~" She chirps out with a soft sing song voice of tone making be blush.

"That's not fair!" I huff out softly and she rolls her eyes before pinning me to my back and I flush heavily as she runs her index claw along my chest and belly lightly as I shiver more while feeling pleasure course through me. What the hell is going on? Why does this always feel so good? I whimper softly as she runs her claw tips down my chest and belly to my lower belly making my eyes go wide and blush to thicken. "W-Wait! S-Stop Lilith!" I stutter out quickly just before her claws could move down to the, ehem area.

"What's the matter?" She asks me and I squirm around in an attempt to try and cover myself.

"Let's not do that, okay?" I plead to her and she gives me a pouting look. Freaking pervert!

"But why not? It could make you feel really good~" She says to me with a lustful tone and I shiver in some strange excitement before shaking my head again.

"I don't think I'm ready for that kind of stuff yet." I say up to her and she sighs softly as she moves away from me. An ache forms in my chest as seeing her disappointed.

"You most likely will not ever be ready for that kind of thing ever." She huffs out sadly and I feel the ache grow. Oh man, I made her sad. What the hell do I do?! I close my eyes and have an internal battle before opening them and sighing softly to myself and move over to her side and get onto my knee's and plant a soft kiss firmly onto her lips making her stop and I see her eyes widen in surprise and shock before they close and she leans into the claw and me while pushing me down against the bed. I close my eyes tightly as her claws roam around my body and I gasp softly as she lightly rubs my "sword".

I whimper softly in pleasure and uneasiness as she parts from me while looking down at my naked form. At least she isn't sad anymore, and the ache is gone, but, I feel so...so dirty. I look up at her and I see what looks to be lust in her eyes as she feels my body and I gasp softly while closing my eyes and biting my lip to keep myself from speaking. She stops and I open my eyes to see her looking down at me with soft eyes.

"You don't want this, do you?" She asks. No shit!

"I...I don't feel that it is right to do this stuff now. I...I just feel dirty." I say to her as I feel tears stinging my eyes. Why are there tears forming? I don't understand why I am feeling or acting this way! She nods her head lightly before brushing my tears away with a thumb claw and gently cups my cheek.

"I'm sorry. I should have taken your word for it. I'll wait, alright?" She tells me and I nod my head gently. She hugs me tightly to herself and I bury my face into the nape of her neck and take in the coolness of her scales and breath in her scent. "Are you okay?" She asks me after a few minutes and I nod my head lightly before looking up to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine now. I'm sorry for being a pussy." I say to her and she raises a brow.

"Um, I felt what you got there, and you most certainly don't got one, nor are one. You just weren't comfertable with what I was doing and I wasn't paying attention. It's alright." She says down to me while sitting up and looks down at my crouch. I sigh softly. Still a perv even when she's sorry!

"I don't mind you looking, but please if you can help it, don't touch. I don't want to be freaking out on you." I tell her and she nods her head lightly before looking up at the door as it is being knocked on. The door opens revealing Huolong and I eep lightly while pulling the covers over my form. He stops and stares before releasing a rumbling laughter.

"I see I had interrupted something, perhaps I should come back later?" He asks and I shake my head. Even when making fun of me he sounds badass!

"N-No sir, you weren't interrupting anything, I had taken a bath with Lilith last night and didn't get dressed as she had asked and, well, that's about it." I explain to him and he nods his head lightly.

"Very well, shall we go to the forges to mold that metal into something that can be of use for you?" He asks me and I nod my head lightly before getting to my feet with the covers still, well, covering me. "I shall give you a moment to get dressed." He says as he leaves and shuts the door behind himself. Okay, so the dude is pretty cool, chill and overly awesome. Wish I had him for a father, though I wish I knew my father.

I drop the covers onto the bed and get dressed into my clothes and sigh softly before looking Lilith with a light smile. "Let's get going." I say to her and she nods her head as we leave the room and enter the hallway where Huolong and Geose stand. Geose is here? The two chuckle when seeing us and I blush heavily while feeling as if I had been violated by peeping eyes. Oh wait, I was! "What are you two chuckling about?" I ask with my blush slowly beginning to go away.

"Nothing, now let's get going!" Geose says as he and Huolong lead Lilith and I around through the castle before getting to the barracks and before the guards and the forges. I sigh softly before pulling out the large chunk of metal that is honestly larger than my head as it looked pretty large in Huolong's claws and such. I move to go near the forge, only to have that captain dragoness to come up from the crowd of guards and glares hatefully at me.

"What are you doing here at the forges?" She hisses out. I raise a brow to her. Um, turning this chunk of metal into a weapon of some kind?

"Things." I say to her and she hisses at me lowly as if preparing to breath fire at me before the metal in floating in my hand shifts and slightly. I blink in surprise as the metal moves on it's own accord blocking the captains red hot flames. I stare with wide eyes as the metal is completely fine, let alone the fact that the fire was sucked into it and then red energy shoots from it into my crest making me cry out in slight pain.

As the pain subsides I feel strange as I open my eyes to see that I am in my Dragon Form and the metal is different. It glows and pulsates raw magical power and I can feel some sort of pull coming from it. I grab the metal chunk and move to the forge once again where the metal seems to pulsate quicker and rougher as it shakes within my grasp as it turns into a strange rod of sorts with crystals on the inside of it from when I look at the bottom of it. Okay, that's pretty cool.

I heat the metal up as Huolong stands there beside me watching silently as Lilith is being held back by Geose and many of the guards as she tries to rip the captain apart. I bring up the hammer and clang it down to flatten it and form it into the shape of the blade before putting it in water to cool it down. I heat it up once more and continue. I begin to wonder just what kind of blade I am going to make, but then again it is magical metal, maybe it has the power to change into any kind of blade I want? That makes a bit of sense.

As the blade is done heating up I blink and lift the blade into the air and notice how it looks like a strange Katana like blade with a guard made of metal and white crystal as the blade itself is black with blade crystal's in it making the patterns of a dragon in bright red. To my right Huolong holds out a sheathe made up of metal and wood making me wonder when in the hell he had time to make it.

I slide the blade into it's sheathe. The hilt is covered in white cloth that dangles like a chain at the butt of the hilt and I nod my head lightly. Pulling the blade from it's sheath lightly the steel shines with a blue hue that reminds me of blue fire that Rei has on his sword from "Ao No Exorcist".

Giving it a test swing I swing down and to the side towards a diamond dummies and cut it clean in half while cleaving the ground behind and beneath it to break apart leaving a long slice in the dirt. Interesting indeed. Sliding the blade back into it's sheathe I tie the katana at my right hip and look to Huolong who nods his head lightly.

"Interesting. It would seem that metal does not need to go through the long process that normal metals do, let alone that it seems to be tied to you in some way. Very interesting indeed." Huolong drawls out as he holds a claw out. "May I see if I may be able to wield it? I wish to test something." He says to me and I nod my head lightly. Why not? The dude's awesome and chill as fuck, besides, he's treating me like I'm an actual person! I hand him by sheathed blade and he grips it's hilt. A burst of magic bursts through the air and light shines into my eyes making me grunt and close them, but even that isn't enough so I cover them to make sure nothing happens.

As I feel the magic settle down I lower my claws and open my eyes to see him standing there with the blade in his hand and hellish fire circling the blade like tendrils and the blade had changed looking something like an elvish sword of sorts with a Ghost Rider Chain coiled around his forearm and I think of Kratos' "Blade's of Chaos" and such. He looks the blade up and down before nodding his head lightly and lightly stabbing the tip into the dirt making tornado inferno's burst from the ground and move about destroying the very earth and making it become completely unhabitable before pulling it from the ground and the flames flow through the air before roaring towards me.

Wait WHAT?!

I stare with wide eyes as the hellish fire moves at me with speed that outclasses a Sonic Rainboom and I feel my scales heat up intently as the flames crash into me before spiralling around me and are sucked into my horn, crystals, and my chest and I feel oddly stronger and faster as well as more agile than before. Blinking I look up to Huolong who nods his head lightly and sheaths the blade and moves to hand it to me, but the chain tightens around his forearm and I raises a brow. Guess the blade chose him, might as well let the badass keep it, eh?

"It seems to want you to wield it, I don't mind." I say to him and he gives me an odd look as if I had given him something truly valuable and rare. He bods his head to me lightly. Why do I feel good for giving someone something?

"I thank you. Perhaps you might be able to help us make the armor and weapons that these new metals are capable of doing. But I wonder, why did my flames move into you?" He asks me at the end, and I shrug my shoulders lightly. How the fuck am I supposed to know?!

"Hell if I know, maybe it's a way of you being able of weilding it, like payment of sorts?" I ask while changing back into my human form and I feel a pressure forming in my head. Gripping my head between my hands I grunt in pain and Lilith moves to my side and places a claw to my back, but pulling it away quickly and yelping out in pain.

"What the fuck?!" She exclaims in confusion and surprise as my back steams heavily from the spot she had touched. I growl lowly feeling heat rising inside me but it is different, it's as if an inferno is raging inside of me, what in the hell is going on?!

"What is the matter?" Huolong asks me while kneeling down to me with his new blade at his left side. What the hell does it look like?!

"It feels as if an i-inferno is raging inside me...just begging to be released...!" I whimper out softly and he nods his head lightly with a look that screams "I-Know!". I being knocked aside through the air and flop across the ground and crash into a steel wall, the metal instantly melts and pools around me, yet my skin and human body are not injured or hurting in the slightest. What in the hell is happening to me?!

"What are you doing?!" Lilith roars out in rage and confusion as Huolong moves to stab his claws at me. What the fuck is he doing?!

"You must get the fire out of you. Change into your Dragon Form, and spar with me." He says with his epic voice. I growl lowly and shake my head as I feel my skin beginning to heat up painfully so and I look up to him as I push off the ground and to my feet. I enter my Dragon Form and spin around to club him with my tail. My tail connects, but nothing happens and he flicks me in the chest with an index claw and it feels as if I had been shot by a tank's canon.

Sliding across the ground I am stopped by him as he pokes me with little strength evident in his movements, and he pushes me directly ten feet into the ground. I cough heavily as he flicks me in the chin and I make an underground tunnel as I move through the earth before bursting through the ground and flop face first onto the ground. Holy fuck this guy is a beast! The Hulk couldn't even take this guy! I doubt anything could take this guy, actually. Well, maybe Dante from "Devil May Cry", but he's epic, badass and true awesomeness, sorry Rainbow Dash.

Grunting I get to my feet and in a split second he is standing before me like he teleported, but I felt no magic move through the air. Holy shit he's fast! I roll to the side, bad idea, as he flicks his tail around and upward knocking me high into the air before he spins around and lets his tail fall onto my dropping body making me bounce another twenty or so feet into the air while parting the earth like Moses parted the sea. Holy fuck this hurts!

"Is this all you can do? Where is your music to pump you up, why do you not attack me with your abilities?" He asks as he looks down at me in a judging way. I cough lightly and wheeze heavily as I notice my vision is flickering and I look to my left to see Lilith looking at me with wide, horrified eyes. A fire rages inside me at her look of horror in her eyes as I feel my side it injured, and my blood covers the ground. Thank god for my super healing, otherwise I'm sure I would have lost most of my body with those simply flicks and pushes. But fuck I hurt like hell!

"I'm not even getting started." I pant out as I feel my body healing itself and realigning my disjointed bones. Okay, that hurts a bit more than the cuts! "So, you want me to get pumped up? Fine, let's rock." I state as I feel "Bulletproof, by 12 Stones" plays as I push off the ground and swish my tail around sending out crystal spines out towards him. He bats them aside with a simple back hand, but I smirk lightly and as I land I dash forward and ram my shoulder into his stomach with enough force to make him slightly stumble backwards.

"Good, but not good enough." He states calmly as he punches down at me and into the ground once more. Fuck hell man, how can this guy be hurt?! Bursting from the ground and punching upward I ram my fist against his stomach only to bounce off like I was nothing but a simply fly. What the crap?! He turns to the side and his tail clubs me across the ground and I begin to grow angry and annoyed at how I can't seem to even hurt him, let alone make him take me seriously, but then again if he were serious I'm pretty sure I'd be dead right now, so there's that. Hm.

I dig my claws into the ground before feel that heat return and I throw caution out the window and breath in deeply. My spines, horn and belly heat up as deep red and orange particles flow into my mouth like rivers. What the hell is this? I feel like my fire power is being doubled, quadrupled even! I breath out and spiraling orange and red hellish flames blast forth from my maw like a beam of pure fire and magic melded as one. The beam crashes against Huolong's chest and knocks him back and even forces him to a knee as he uses a wing like a shield from my new intense fire.

I cut off the flames and pant slightly and he fans his wing out sending out blades of wind to rip across the air towards me and I punch the ground making black crystals shoot up forming into a strange wall that absorbs the blades of wind before turning holy white as blue energy flows into my crystal spines. The white crystals begin to crumble away before I get an idea and thrust a claw forward and the crystals break apart into sharp shards and shoot towards him like Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura Kageyoshi from Bleach.

The shards flow towards him like streams all moving to meet up directly at him and he narrows his eyes with a lighthearted smirk on his muzzle before using his wings as shields. The shards crash against his wings and keep moving about to penetrate them, but his scales are far too think and durable so I hove my claw to my side so it rests and the shards circle me like water and flow about through the air. The natural magic courses through my body and the shards as the music changes to "Fired Up, by Mc Hush" and I feel the magic flow about through me pumping me up more and strengthening my cores as I feel my abilities and body growing stronger. Oh yeah, this is awesome!

The rain that I had forgotten was even around pours down upon us and I look up to see lightning thrashing about and I feel my eyes widen. Oh no. I look to Huolong who is moving towards me and I thrust my claws forward and the shards hold him back, surprisingly, right as lightning crashes into me and I cry out in pain as volts of raw electricity courses through my body. Soon I feel some sort of recharge happening as I feel the magic inside me bubbling and the ground around me to darken slightly. I pant in slight pain as I look up to see Huolong looking to me strangely.

"You stop me from being struck by lightning with you, why? It would not have affected me." He states and I shake my head lightly. Well that's good to know!

"I...hadn't known if you would be...so I didn't want you to get shocked..." I pant out heavily before rolling my head around and flexing and popping my neck lightly as I begin to feel better. "Though I should warn you, Lightning is partially my thing." I state with a smirk as orange and golden lightning surges around my arms and crackles. The music changes to "Rock You Like A Hurricane, by Scorpions" and I punch the air sending out a bubble of air and lightning as the crystal shards spiral around and move to crash into him once again. I dash forward as the song plays and my new energized state making everything seem to move incredibly slow, though Huolong looks to be moving at a slightly slower pace but is still fast.

I blur above him and punch down at him as a blue bubble of air being spiraled by orange lightning bursts down towards him at the speed of a bullet. He folds his wings around himself blocking the shards, his tail swishes through the air knocking the bubbles away before raising a claw and catching the last bubble before crushing it making an explosion sound off in his bare claw as he then grabs at me, but I spin to the side and land onto the ground in a crouching position. Oh yeah, I'm starting to get the hang of this! And the heat is going down too!

"Do you feel the heat lowering itself every time you fight?" He asks me as he circles me. I nod my head lightly and he rumbles out a chuckle. "Good, very good. But you need to use your fire to make it settle. Come, breath your flames at me!" He orders and I nod my head lightly before sucking in a deep breath as those deep red and orangish red particles spiral into my mouth as my spines, horn and belly heat up immensely.

As the song comes to a close I breath out sending out a wide beam of fire and magic that collides with Huolong's form and he is pushed back towards the castle at a rapid rate. I feel the heat begin to stabilize within my chest and I allow the flames to go on until they simply stop and I am panting and gasping for air. I look to see him standing there with his chest lightly charred, but I can tell it's simply ash from the burning barracks he had passed through, and looks to me with an amused look.

"Very strong firepower indeed, perhaps you may be able to help some of the guards use their own flames in such ways, no?" He asks me with a ridge raised. What?

"Sir? I don't quite understand, what do you mean by that?" I ask him in confusion. Don't look at me, I have no fucking clue what goes through this dude's mind alright? He chuckles lightly which still sounds cool.

"What I mean is, would you like to help my guards with some of their training and possibly even help my Blacksmith?" He says to me and I stare at him with wide eyes. Holy shit really?

"Sir, a-are you asking me to work for you? To have my own jobs and pay?" I ask and he nods his head lightly. Fuck yeah! But, why do I feel as if something is missing.

"What is the matter?" He asks me and I sigh softly.

"I just feel as if something is missing, sure I'd love to do those things, but I just get the feeling that something is missing." I say while looking over to Lilith and she looks to me with a soft look while striding over and standing by my side. Huolong rumbles out a deep laugh making me jump slightly in surprise.

"I see, you wish to be by her side, do you not?" He asks and for whatever reason that is beyond me, I not my head lightly making Lilith blink in surprise. "So wish to stay with her, do you not? To protect her?" He asks me and I nod again. Hells yeah I do!

"I do want to, but, I feel as if I should remain by her side, even if we're only testing out this bond thingy, I want to stay by her side." I say to him as I change back into my human form and he nods his head lightly before turning to the side towards an entrance to the castle.

"Very well, but you may do the other jobs if you so wish, and you are to remain by her side then, and if you so choose to remain hers and take the bond to a higher level, you have my blessing." He says while striding into the castle leaving me alone with a lightly blushing Lilith, and an amused Geose as that captain dragoness stalks up towards up with a pissed off look clear on her features. Oh come on, why me?! Wait, did he just say I wanted to, I could make Lilith mine?! Wait, why am I even thinking like this? Ugh, maybe I'm still tired? Who knows.

"Yes?" I ask as the dragoness stomps up to me and glares down at me as if I were some sort of scum trash. Just fan fucking tastic!

"You made a mess of my barracks, you are to clean it up you piece of filth." She growls out and I narrow my eyes and move to lash out, but I am stopped by Lilith who stands before me and crosses her arms beneath her breasts and gains an authoritative look making the captain lady pale slightly. Guess she's felt Lilith's temper and ire as well, eh? Hehe, this is gonna be funny! "L-Lady Lilith, what do I owe the pleasure o-of..." She is cut off by a low growl from Lilith.

"You should not be speaking to my bonded that way, Mizu." Lilith growls out making the dragoness flinch slightly and bowing her head in shame. "What is making you be this way?" She asks with a gentle tone and I watch as Mizu glares lightly at me.

"This male is not even a full dragon, and he's an ape to top it. I can't trust him, he is too much of an unknown, my lady." She says to Lilith and I nod my head lightly. I see.

"Why not just ask to hang out?" I ask her and she raises a ridge to me questioningly. "You can get to know me while hanging out, maybe we could even be friends?" I ask her and she looks to Lilith with an unsure look. She nods her head lightly and Mizu sighs softly before looking to be with an odd firm look.

"Very well. I shall try this "friendship" thing with you, but if you so much as harm Lady Lilith or any of the civilians I shall have your head rolling at my feet before you could even think." She growls to me while gripping her blade by it's blue hilt. Yeesh, talk about scary.

"That's fine, I wouldn't harm Lilith or anyone else anyways. Though if anyone tries to harm her or my friends, you better believe I'll rip them to shreds." I state firmly and darkly while giving her a flat look. She nods her head lightly before letting go of his swords hilt and looking to her new scrambling guards and sighs.

"How annoying, I must train these newbies that barely know how to hold a sword." She states and I nod my head lightly while watching her stride over to the newbies and yell drills for them to do and Lilith lightly tugs my coat lightly and I look up to her with a brow raised.

"Yes?" I ask her and she gives me a smile before moving down and capturing my lips with hers in what I assume is a loving kiss, and I kiss her back the same way. She parts from me and I feel my cheeks burn slightly as I flush when she holds me close to her body.

"What would you like to do?" She asks me and I place a hand to my chin. Hm, perhaps I should get something to eat, as much as I love getting soaked by the rain, I don't need to be shocked again, thank god the lightning and thunder left a while ago.

"Perhaps have some breakfast?" I ask her and she nods her head as she places me back onto my feet and I rub the back of my neck lightly before tapping my chin lightly. "And maybe I should ask Huolong about those mines he told me about last night. What do you think?" I ask her and she shrugs her shoulders lightly.

"It would be interesting, and from what I saw, your pretty good at making the weapon." She says to me. I sweat drop slightly.

"That's because it was done magically, not normally. But you have a point, maybe I could make myself a weapon and even you one, eh?" I ask her and she nods her head lightly.

"I wouldn't mind one, maybe I can finally show you my moves with a pole." She says with a wink making me flush heavily and stare at her with wide eyes. Uh, why am I not putting that thought outta my head? Oh yeah, because it's hot!

"Strangely enough, I don't have any problem with that." I state with a blink making her smirk lightly down at me while striding towards the castle entrance and I follow after here leaving behind Geose who had remained silent the whole time before simply leaving to help Mizu. Weird, but alright I guess. More alone time for me and Lilith then! As we move into the warm dry castle I lean softly against her side while walking next to her. She smiles lightly and wraps and arm around my shoulders while we move through the halls.

We enter what looks to be the dining room and I notice how Huolong and Saphrah are having an interesting morning together as we watch them make out. Lilith drags me out of the room silently before groaning softly as she runs a claw over her face. Uh oh, something isn't right.

"What's the matter?" I ask her gently and she blushes. Why do I get the feeling I'm gonna regret sleeping in the same bed as her now? Ah whatever, probably nothing.

"It's becoming "that" time of the year." She huffs out and I stop.

"Mating season?" I ask and she shakes her head and groans softly.

"No, it's worse! My mother and father are in the mood!" She whines out. Seriously?

"What's so bad about that? Just this morning you were in a mood to take me, what's so bad about them?" I ask and she sighs softly.

"It's annoying, they just fuck and fuck and fuck for days on end! It's so gross hearing them roar or moan at night too, and extremely awkward." She says with a shiver. Okay, I guess I can see how that would be seen as odd. But they are lovers, after all.

"Well they are lovers after all, I wouldn't expect much less from them anyways." I say with a light shrug before stopping and placing a hand to my chin. "And if I had a lover I'd most likely be constantly wanting to be by their sides, even if all they were in the mood for was sex. Not like I'd mind it and all that kind of crap." I state with a nod before walking past Lilith completely missing her large blush and wide eyes before she curses about "rotten luck" or something, I never really pay much attention. As I move through the hall with Lilith at my side I stop and look up at the dark skies as rain downpours before I feel something from behind. Turning around I notice how the shadows look to be darker than before.

This is new, wonder if maybe the weather is affecting the shadows? Oh well. We stride down the hallway in search of something to do before I feel something beneath us. It feels like that metal that made Huolong's sword, but also something else. Maybe this would be a good time to see what else is in this cavern. Looking to Lilith I place a hand onto her forearm making her look to me in question. Pointing down I smirk. "Let's go to the cavern." I say to her with a grin and she shakes her head.

"No way, we need to wait for father's permission and besides, I don't know where it is." She tells me and I huff slightly. Kill joy.

"Fine." I whine out while crossing my arms over my chest and we continue down the hall but are stopped by a black dragon wearing what looks to be ninja pants or something similar. Really weird. The ninja dragon grab what appears to be a short-katana and rushes towards us. The black scarf around it's face flaps in the wind like a cape of sorts. The dragon swipes at us and we dodge to the side.

Lilith tail whips at the dragon only for them to block her tail with a claw and flip her through a wall. It turns towards me and moves to stab at me, but I step to the side. Oh bad move shit for brains! Kicking their wrist I knock the blade from their claw and it spirals through the air before stabbing into the ceiling above us. Feeling the magic around and inside of my body I punch the air sending a blue sphere that crashes against the dragon's chest knocking them across the floor.

Landing I slam my fist's to the floor sending a pulse of lightning that completely washes over Lilith like a stream does to a rock and races towards the offending dragon. It sucks in air and breathes out purple flames that destroy the lightning and spiral towards me and I shoulder roll to the right. The flames move past me and into the wall behind me making it look poisoned and burned through. Holy shit, what the fucking hell?! Too close for comfort, thank you very much!

They suck in a large breathe and spew multiple purple fireballs that zoom at me like cannonballs while making thunderous cracks as they smash against the floor, ceiling and walls. I dash around across the walls and push off of a pillar and punch the floor making black crystals form before me as the remaining purple fireballs are sucked into them before they turn holy white and purple and white energy flows out and into my crest.

Looking to my hands as I feel a pressure to them I touch the floor before me and the spot I touched darkens and a small charred hole forms a few inches deep. Okay, so I can absorb powers and use them to how I wish? Freaking awesome! Swiping my hands through the air downwards like claws I send out purple and white blades that jet towards the dragon who breaths out purple flames that destroy the blades and spirals towards me and Lilith. Dashing forward I swipe at the air sending blades of that hellish fire that I had gained from Huolong that completely destroy the purple flames and force the dragon to move.

They jump and pull their sword from the ceiling before moving to stab at me, but Lilith bursts from the debris and breathes out icy blue flames that freeze the offending dragon to a pillar. I raise a brow to her as she looks pissed. From behind I notice Flaire's energy moving close and I begin to wonder if he sent this fucker after us. That asshole. "Shade, what the fuck are you doing?!" Lilith screams out making me stop and look to her with a slightly surprised look.

"Wait, you know this asshole?!" I exclaim and she nods her head with a glare being sent his way. Oh boy.

"This is Shade, one of Flaire's helpers, or something like that. I never gave a shit about having underlings to be honest." She says to me. Underlings? Like how Aizen has the Espada? Or Madara the Akatsuki? Weird. "What are you doing here, Shade?" She growls out and he glares at me. Oh come on! I've only just made up with Mizu now I have to deal with THIS asshole?! Fucking hell man! Can I not have a simple day in this crazy world?! Guess not.

"No one makes Lord Flaire look like a fool! No one!" Shade growls out making me roll my eyes. Yep, he's one of those.

"I am not Lord yet, Shade." Flaire says from next to me as Shade's eyes widen. "And I would like you to not attack my sister's bonded, he might have allowed me to live, but he may end up killing you." He says sagely making Shade growl at me. What did I do now?!

"This ape can't be that powerful! It is just an ape, a lower life form! And it's an alien to boot, it holds no reason for existing here!" He growls out. I fold my arms over my chest and raise a brow.

"Really? Yet I beat Flaire and managed to fight with Lord Huolong, granted he out classes me easily but he is also far more experienced than I. And not only had I been holding my own against you, I did so in my human form, something that isn't possible to do with Flaire or even Lilith. Does that not say something to you?" I ask and he growls lowly.

"Fight me then, truly fight me! Alien!" He roars out and I shake my head.

"Not a chance, I won't be fighting against you." I state and Flaire looks to me strangely.

"Why not? I do wonder how he would fare against you. He is one of my best, and I know he is powerful. Why not test him?" He asks me and I sigh softly before looking to Lilith who nods her head firmly.

"Kick his ass." She growls and I nod my head lightly while looking to Shade. Guess this dude's gonna get his ass kicked then.

"You have a deal. We fight outside in the rain." I state and he nods his head before purple flames destroy the ice and he dashes outside and spreads his wings. Hovering in the air waiting for me the three of us head outside and I look up to Flaire who had stopped me and hands me a dagger, for me it is a sword though. "This won't last, but I'll use it for this fight. Thank you." I say to him before moving forward and unsheathe the sword.

The blade looks similar to a standard straight sword only at the tip it has hooks and the edges of the blade are serrated. I spin it around before holding it with two hands and get ready for the fight. Shade swings his blade down and purple blades shoot down at me and I slide around on the wet ground like I were wearing roller-skates. He growls and dives down at me in hopes of slashing me. I block his blade with mine and manage to cut his side lightly. He spins around and shoots up into the air before breathing down purple flames that spiral down at me like a tornado.

Holding my blade up to the side I swing down and to the right sending out wind blades that cut through his flames and lightly slice at his body. He drops down at me in a stabbing pose and I spin my blade around making a wheel of hellish flames form before swinging upwards sending the wheel up at him. He spreads his wings and spins to the side but I send another wheel that crashes against his chest knocking him upwards.

Watching his every movement I notice he recovers quickly and shoots around and breathes down purple fireballs like a fighter plain does bullets in those war movies. Heh, so he learns a new tactic, but it won't do him any good. I slash the air sending out purple and white blades that zip about towards him cutting apart his fireballs like they were nothing. He moves between the blades and stabs at me as he gets close enough. Narrowing my eyes I block him with the flat of my blade before slashing up his arm making a cut form and I start growing annoyed.

As he lands and slides across the wet ground I enter my Dragon Form while sucking in air particles and breathe out orange lightning and red flames that race towards him but are stopped by his blade. I smirk as music begins to play and the song is a favorite of mine. Double-Boost! Fuck yeah! "Welcome To The Masquerade, by Thousand Foot Krutch", a Freaking epic song!

As the music plays I dash forward with my dagger held out and swipe up and to the side making him move back and a cut forms on his chest. Swiping downward he brings up his blade and blocks mine from cutting him again and I push down cutting into his sword making his eyes widen. I smirk and push back from him before dashing at him again while swinging down cutting his blade in half while leaving a cut on his right shoulder.

With a grunt he kicks me away from himself and I flip through the air and lands onto my feet with ease as he has some trouble with moving on the ground. Hehe, pays to have feet like mine! He glares at me and breathes a beam of purple flames that I part before slicing the air sending out a large wind blade that he side steps and swings his broken sword sending out purple blades that zip towards me like bullets.

I cut a few of the blades before one of them slices my dagger in half forcing me to throw it at him like a throwing dagger and dodge the other blades. The song comes to an end and changes to "I Get Wicked, by Thousand Foot Krutch" and I blur towards him and punch him in the abdomen knocking him back before blurring forward again and grab his head before kneeing him in the face knocking him backwards onto his back.

Spinning around I slam my tail down at his head and he rolls away before trying to kick my feet out from under me, but I jump up and spin through the air. Axe kicking him in the chest I knock the air out of him and he locks up while trying to catch his breath. Grabbing him by his feet I throw him into the air and into the ground. He coughs and wheezes as the rain washes the dirt off of our bodies and making it harder to move, for him and the others that is.

He breaths down at the ground making the ground start to darken and burn away to black ash that moves through the air as he flaps his wings obscuring my vision. "Your a good fighter, alien, but can you keep fighting something you can't see?" He asks as he literally disappears. Seriously? Since when did he become a ninja? Oh, wait. Never mind. I look around before feeling claws scrape against my shoulder knocking me forward and to then feel a knee collide with my stomach. Ow, pain!

"Can't seem to stand, eh, alien?" Shade chuckles out from behind me and I spin to the side using my tail as a club and I cut through the ashes only for it to spread them about and somehow cause more. Fuck! Looking around I look to see any kind of space that has been disturbed by him and see a small puff form and punch at it. I feel my fist connect and a grunt meets my ears. Gotcha! Grabbing what feels to be a neck I pull the body into my vision and see Shade staring at me with wide eyes.

I smirk and prepare to punch him in the face, but he twists and claws my chest making me let go. He pulls out two daggers and slashes my sides making me grunt in pain as my blood stains the ground. He grins and vanishes back into the ashes making me curse under my breath before feeling my shoulders being slashed and my chest to gain an "X" mark along with my forearms. Fuck he's faster somehow. Just what in the hell is he on?!

Looking around quickly I narrow my eyes as I try to look quicker as the ashes become disturbed just before I am cut. There! I think while punching forward and my fist crashes against his blade while the other is moving towards my throat. I grab the blades with my claws and knee him in the stomach. He grunts and flips his daggers making me let go before slashing me multiple times making his blades look like they were simple flashes of light. Fuck! I stagger backwards as he jumps back into the ashes and I pant while bleeding heavily.

Well, this fucking sucks. Getting my ass kicked by this guy who couldn't even handle my human form. I see the ashes spiral slightly and growl while clubbing my tail down and I feel the body beneath it crash into the ground. I feel the natural magic change as the music does. "Hail To The King, by Avenged Sevenfold" plays and I punch the ground sending raging winds that dissipate the ash and I look to see Shade picking himself back up from the ground and I grin widely to him.

"Let's see you fight now, bitch." I growl out before blurring forward and kicking him across the ground and punch the air repeatedly sending out bullets or bubbles of air that would crash into his form. Really fucking cool looking if you asked me. I dash forward after him as he recovers and uses his wings to block them, though they keep pushing him back, and I knee him in the chest knocking him back more. Spinning on my toes I tail club him down against the ground before grabbing his ankle and using him as a club making indents in the earth.

Throwing him away from myself he breathes out purple flames that scar the earth in black ash and I narrow my eyes, before flipping my head back as my spines, belly and horn glow alight before letting red flames fly from my jaws when whipping my head forward. The two flames crash against each other like beams and the ground on my side melts as his simply burns. My flames begin to be pushed back and I send in more flames before I feel my breath running thin. Well, guess this is going to hurt!

My flames stop and his crash into me but they simply part around my form as a black shadowy mass forms before me like a shield and I stare with wide eyes as the shadowy mass absorbs the flames before it moves into my shadow. Okay, what the fuck was that? Shade stares with wide eyes as I smirk to him. Oh well, might as well keep up with the surprises! Who know's what else I can do! I charge forward and cock a fist back as red flames form around it like an extra fist of sorts, really fucking cool!

My burning fist collides with his face and knocks him back across the ground like a pebble across a lake making craters instead of rings or ripples as he slides to a stop before...Huolong and Saphrah. Great. The music comes to a close and I exit out of my Dragon Form and into my human form while holding my hands up in defense.

"I can explain!" I exclaim and Huolong raises a ridge as if questioning why I had said so. "Wait, are you not upset that I wrecked your, uh, field?" I ask and he chuckles a deep booming chuckle.

"No, I hold no reason to be angry. Flaire had explained what was happening when we arrived here as the ash was in the air. I had feared that the Drake's had returned, but evidently they were not brave enough to enter the kingdom at this time." He states before looking to me strangely. "But how did you control the shadows?" He asks and I shrug my shoulders lightly.

"I'm not sure, all I thought was "Well, guess this is going to hurt!" and then the wall formed and absorbed the flames. I'm not even sure what else I can do." I explain and he nods his head lightly. Looking to my hands I wonder if perhaps I could summon the wall of shadow or darkness again. I close my eyes and concentrate before seeing a glimpse of large orange or red eyes and deep growling before snapping my eyes open and to see my shadow spreading and that wall to form once again. "Whoa." I breath in awe as the wall then shifts back into my shadow.

"Interesting." Flaire says while looking to me with a strange look as if I were an answer of sorts. Okay, talk about freaky. Huolong narrows his eyes as if contemplating something.

"Tell me, do you enjoy being in the dark?" He asks and I nod my head lightly. Yeah? Is he going to call me an "evil darkness dragon" or some bullshit like that? "I see, perhaps you hold an affinity to darkness, magic and crystals. Very interesting indeed." He says as if thinking of something, but chooses not to spill the beans completely. Better not be evil! I don't need to be seen as a god damned weapon for fuck's sake!

"Okay?" I ask before looking to Lilith with a raised brow who simply shrugs her shoulders giving me the same look. I guess it would make sense for her not to know if I were to be used as a weapon, what with us being bonded and whatnot. But still, she should at least know what the fuck is happening! "And what does that mean, exactly, sir?" I ask as Shade moves to his feet and is healing slowly from me beating his sorry ass. I tell yeah, the dude has some moves, but when he isn't hiding like a bitch, he's easy to pick off. Guess he does make for a good assassin though.

"I am yet unsure, but perhaps the elder's shall know when I speak with them tonight. They may wish to have you there as well, but I am unsure. Now let us get out of this rain, the storm is growing." He orders out and I nod my head and move over to Lilith's side as we all head inside just as lightning flashes and flickers across the sky and thunder booms as the dark, gray storm clouds loom above us as if the real storm was just starting and more was to come. I hope I don't have to fight again for a while, I need to rest too dammit!

We move into the throne room we stop as old dragons stand there dressed in strange clothing and wielding staffs of sorts. Oh boy, this might not be a good thing. They look over to us and focus on me and I wonder if perhaps I should should enter my Dragon Form and prepare for a fight. A white dragon steps forward from the others as he is about my Dragon Form's size if not a few meter's taller or so. He looks down at me as if studying me and weighing how much my life meant.

"You are the being known as "Cade", correct? Slayer of Dovaak the Hunter, bonded to Princess Lilith, the alien of the world and unknown dragon species?" He asks and I nod my head lightly.

"Yeah?" I ask while clenching my hands into fists getting ready for a fight and the old dragon scoffs. Asshole!

"You need not worry, we hold no reason of ending you, but we do have business with you." He says while moving back over to the other old ones. "We have been curious as to why you are here. You are an alien capable of controling magic and even able of turning into a dragon species that doesn't exist. You can control the natural magic of the world and universe by using your old worlds music or simply thinking about it. You interest us, in short." He says to me before turning around and giving me a firm look. "And we wish to see what you can do." He tells me and I raise a brow. Why the fuck should I listen to this old goat?

"I mean no disrespect when saying this, but, who exactly are you? All of you?" I ask and Lilith bends down and smacks me upside my head. Gee, thank's love! Love? Weird.

"Their the elders you idiot!" She hisses out in the form of a whisper and I nod my head lightly. Well fuck, guess I screwed this little meeting up. I look up to the old dragons and dragonesses and nod my head with a smirk.

"Alright, but can this be later on? Or in a few days? I'm a little sore from fighting with Shade over there." I say while pointing a thumb over my shoulder at him. At his glare I shiver slightly. Yeesh, probably shouldn't have mentioned him then if he's going to be such a dick about it. A slightly old purple dragon chuckles lightly. Why the chuckling? What's so funny?

"We do not require you to fight anyone, but we require you to allow us to see you." He says making me raise a brow in response. The fuck is this old dude talking about? See me? He's looking right at me dammit!

"What?" I ask bluntly and he nods his head while sending me a small smile.

"Allow me to explain, we would like to see you as in your power. What it is you hold. From what we have heard you are said to be an alien that turns into a breed of our kind that none have ever heard about before. We wish to see this you, the you that saved the princess, protected a whole village, bested prince Flaire and even forged a blade of pure power for the king, let alone being able to control natural magic; the very magic of the world. Allow us to tap into you to learn more about where you came from, how you gained these abilities and see just what you are." He asks and I nod my head lightly. The other elders place their claws onto his form as he presses an index claw lightly to my crest and jolts of power roll over me like waves.

I shut my eyes tightly and feel Lilith's body pressed to mine as she steadies me and the sounds of the elder's grunting as if they were dealing with the same waves of power I was. I feel the natural magic around me begin to pool into me like it were being sucked into me. The darkness of the room sends chills into my form as the sounds of gasps reach my ears like something remarkable was happening. A heat burns deeply inside me before it all seems to dull down as the claw leaves my crest and I open my eyes to see the elder's looking to me strangely.

Turning I see the others looking at me oddly as well, though Lilith is looking to me the same way as always so that's a plus. I raise a brow to them all and Lilith shrugs her shoulders lightly. "They must not have been around you in the dark." She tells me and I nod my head lightly. Right, in the dark.

"What was it though?" I ask and Huolong looks to me as if I had done something he had never witnessed in his long life. Guess I can still give others a surprise, eh?

"Remarkable, the shadows bent around you and Lilith like a protective barrier while the very air grew cold like a winter's night." He tells me and I nod my head lightly. Guess that makes sense. I think? Whatever.

"Right." I state while shrugging. "I like the night and cold let alone the winter." I tell them and Huolong nods his head.

"I see, interesting indeed." He mumbles out. Okay, now that's weird.

"You most certainly hold great power inside you, young one." The dragon says to me. Well thanks! "It would be wise to harness your powers and be trained." He tells me and I raise a brow.

"Trained? By who exactly?" I ask. Maybe they have some sort of- OH! They mean, right. Okay, got it. "Wait, you all?" I ask and they nod their heads lightly. "I don't see how I could be worth your times." I tell them.

"Nonsense, you should train with them, never have I seen someone so openly accepted by them and for training no less. It is a great honor, Cade." Huolong tells me and I nod my head lightly.

"Well, alright then." Looking to the elder's I bow to them respectfully. "I accept your offers." I tell them and they nod their heads.

"Good, your training begins next's month's dying day." The blue dragoness says to me, though she isn't that old looking, and I nod my head gently. The elder's then vanish in a burst of light leaving us in the roughly empty throne room which has been repaired from Flaire's and my little battle. Cool, so I'm going to be trained by powerful beings, lovely. Hope none of them are corrupted! Most likely. Well, this should be fun. Turning back to the others I look up to Lilith with a light smile and she smiles back before hugging me tightly.

"Congratulations!" She cheers out before setting me back down and I grow confused at her change of moods. I mean I know I've been with her for a few days, like close to a week right? Well she seems to be going through moods quickly, maybe it's a side affect of the bond? Better ask.

"Thanks, and what's with the mood changes?" I ask her bluntly. She stops, blinks and then face claws.

"Side affect of the bond is not my favorite thing at the moment." She grumbles out. There's the Lilith I know and most likely love! Confusing, I know. I hug her around her hips tightly making her flush lightly and glare lightly down to me in confusion. "What the fuck are you doing?" She asks and I shrug.

"I prefer this you. Not the "girly" version, just doesn't seem like you, ya'know?" I tell her and her blush grows and huffs before hugging me back and grumbling underneath her breath that I can't seem to pick up.

"Right, well then, shall we make plans for tomorrow?" Huolong asks and we separate to look to him strangely, well I do anyways. Plan's for what tomorrow? What?

"Sir? What do you mean?" I ask and he looks to me with a slight smirk. Oh this might be awesome!

"Tomorrow we shall head into the cavern's to get more of the metals and possibly some crystals. As from what I have witnessed, you hold a connection to change the metals into weapons, perhaps the crystal's can be of use to us in other ways." He tells me while striding over to his throne and sits into it. "But for now, I suggest you get something to eat, and rest. You look to still be healing if not from the wounds, then from what you used." He says to me firmly and I nod my head to him. I'm so not wanting to fight with him again, dude kicked my ass!

"Yes, sir. Thank you sir." I say while going to bow, but he holds up a claw stopping me.

"You need not call me "sir" or "lord". You are not a mere citizen or a soldier. You may be an outsider, but you have shown that you can be trusted, that you and my daughter are bonded as well. And as such, you have certain rites now. Please, do not prove me wrong." He tells me firmly and I bow my head to him in acceptance and thanks. He bows his head back with a small grunt before Lilith and I leave the throne room behind. As the door's close I hear Shade complain about something, but his voice grows muffled as we move down the hall and into the dining hall.

As we enter the large room we come to find two platters on the large, long wooden table ready for our use. Cool, guess the cook's got word somehow? "Please, enjoy za food." A French-esk accent states from behind making me spin around to see a Griffin dressed in cooking clothes and having a twin-blade on his back. His fur is black as night, his feathers are white as snow except his head feather's which are tinted a deep purple on the tip. Holy shit this guy looks like a dude version of Gilda!

"Um, thank you, sir." I say to him with a bow and he waves his claws through the air and "tsk"ing. Okay then?

"No, you 'ave no reazon to call me zir. Lord Huolong haz told me about you." He says to me with a French accent though he does pronounce English, or whatever they call it here, quite well. Maybe this dude was raised somewhere like France? Doubt it though, it'd be incredibly awesome if he was.

"Um, he has?" I ask and he nods his head lightly. "Nothing bad I hope." I chuckle out nervously.

"Oh no! No, zir. You 'ave been praized by Lord Houlong! He zpeakz highly of you." He tells me with a slight grin that makes me smile awkwardly.

"Oh, that's good. I think?" I say with an unsure tone and look. What can I say, it's still strange to know I'm being praised, alright?

"Good indeed, zir." He says to me before sending both of us a small smile and then leaves the room into a different one that I assume is a pathway to the kitchen. Well, that was interesting.

"Well that was interesting." Lilith says with a blink. Hey! That's what I thought!

"Yup." I say while popping the "p" at the end before getting into my chair as Lilith get's into hers and we dig into our food which was some sort of steak and a goblet of orange liquid that wasn't orange juice. What was it? Hell if I know! Did really ask, nor did I care to ask. After our lunch or early dinner? We head back up to our room in Lilith's tower and I blink. "What time is it?" I ask and she looks around the room before shrugging.

"Around six p.m. give or take seven." She says and I make a "wah?" sound making her roll her eyes. "Just shut it and lay down, the day has been long and the storm is raging." She huffs out and I nod my head lightly before looking to her with a brow raised. "What?" She growls.

"Did you want me to be like last night?" I ask and her eyes light up as a grin graces her lips. Awe fuck.

"Yes." She says with a slight purr making me shudder for some reason. Nodding my head to her I essentially strip down to my birthday suite and crawl into what is now our bed with her moving in by my side. She wraps her arms around my form and holds me close to herself. Her scales for some reason don't seem all that cool or cold, but warmer than ever, yet hold some form of their coolness but it moves around me like an extra blanket.

Burrying my face into her neck and tightens her hold around me and I feel myself being lulled by her soft breathing, her heartbeat though it be faint. She runs her claws gently across my back, and the world melts away so it's only the two of us before I am in my world of dreams while being up against the dragoness that is truly capturing my heart.

And it's wonderful.

Lilith's 1st Pov

Today has been crazy hectic. I mean I wake up with my bonded in my arms without those clothes on him and here he is back in my arms without those clothes. His skin is slightly warm and tingles my scales sending sensation's through my body that I am growing rather fond of. His hot, faint breathes sends shivers down my spine and I graze my claw tips against his bare back. It's so strange feeling a human's skin.

My human's skin.

That's right, he's my human. My dragon. And my bonded. Our bond has become pretty solid as of late, and to be honest, I am starting to feel his emotiones, I can hear a few of his thoughts and while he was battling against Shade, I noticed that the natural magic and the shadows would actually wisp around me like they do with Cade. Just as mother had said, we are sharing each other's abilities. I wonder if he can control the cold like I can? Guess I'll have to wait and see.

I lightly breath in his scent and close my eyes as his breathing begins to lull me. The world melts away and only the two of us are left even though I know the world is raging outside, like something was starting. His body heat, though it isn't as much as it probably should be, helps me go to sleep and moving a wing over us along with the covers to cover up his special bits, I keep him close to me in my arms.

Honestly, I hope he remains with me, that he accepts me as his mate. I think that I may actually love him, but, I'm not completely sure. I think I do, I feel myself constantly yearning for him, for his touch and his love. I think I do love him already. I just hope he love's me. And with these thought's inside my head, I fall asleep with a small smile on my face.

~~Line Break~~

Huolong's 1st Pov

It has been an interesting series of events over the past few days, but perhaps we may become one with the world that has so long forgotten us. A world that has been ever changing and growing around us that we have not been a part of in quite some time. We have become allies with the Griffin's of the Griffin Dominion, and Equestria and the Minotaur Isle's. But that will not be enough. The Diamond Dog Isle's has just become an ally, but I may be forced to send some of my soldier's over.

Equestria is asking for help as they are dealing with Changeling's, a long lost empire of crystal's, a deity of chaos, that is responsible for much of the worlds problem's, as an ally that they may bring with them when the princesses bring back my blacksmith. It will be interesting to see this "Discord" in the flesh, along with meeting the princesses once again. I wonder if they will bring their new princess and their dragon hatch-ling as they had been having problem's with his growth. Spike I believe his name was.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day though, as Cade, the human-alien, shall be going into the cavern like mines beneath my castle to retrieve metals and crystal's that are filled with far too much natural magic for us to go near as it causes problems for us, and yet he is not only able to go near them, but he can eat them and their magic. It will be very interesting indeed.

Looking from the floor that is dimly lit by a few torches and out the window I stare at the raging storm outside like there is something on the rise. The lightning is coiling and lashing out like whips or tails. The thunder rolls and booms like the cracks of cannons from what I had seen while visiting our allies countries. Normal storms for us, but the clouds gives me foreboding feeling as they are dark gray to a light black.

It is unsettling.

But it is the season of storms for us, and I shall get over my trivial feelings of what is foreboding and what is not. Looking down back at the floor I contemplate what Shade had been telling me about his Cade is a "threat" to us all. If that were true, he wouldn't have let me treat him like I had in our spar. But with him becoming a student of the Elder's by their want's, I can't help but feel a slight hint of worry for him.

The Elder's that are older than most still go by the old ways. The ways of when our race would conquer and use other's to get to the top. I'll have to ask the younger one's to keep an eye on the old one to make sure he remains as he was when they had met Cade. I'd rather not have to deal with a war with the world. And I do not desire to separate him and Lilith, they hold love for one another from what I have been seeing. Hopefully they will remain at each other's sides, though I know they will, they care for each other the same way I care for Saphrah, and her for me.

Getting to my feet I stride through my throne room and into the halls where I move down it and onto a platform. Spreading my wings I push off into the air and head towards my tower where Saphrah is no doubt waiting for me. I land onto our balcony and enter our chambers where I find Saphrah laying on our bed sleeping soundly and out of her clothing. I pull mine off and join her in our bed pulling her into my arms feeling her cool scales brush against my heated ones.

And with that, I drift off to slumber with my loving wife in my arms and her perfect form pressed up against mine. The sound of the storm and her soft snores lulling me. Perhaps tomorrow shall be a more interesting day.
