2022-07-29 11:10:50Gia POV
I looked around… I was breathing and my eyes were adjusting… The warmth of the soil, the fires around me… What do I do – how do I create my children? The question formed in my head and before I could think I heard my Father’s voice… “You are of my blood. Make them of yours. Bound them to the air and soil they walk” he said… “Why is my world so different Father?” I asked… “Gia, it can be whatever you want it to be”, same voice said… I looked up and there was so much dust, so much darkness. I wished for the clear skies of my birth word.. Thinking about it, the dust started disappearing, the clouds were moving away, light became and clear sky was coming into focus… “hahahahhahahahahahahahah .. that sound again.. Well done daughter, well done.. Now let me see your children”, Father said encouraging me.I stood there as in trance.. I withdrew my wings and stayed this upright walking creature of long silver hair which was everywhere around me.. My eyes looked around and I saw that the soil was settling, forming into solid ground in some areas.. Walking over the sea of lava I found a large space where earth was still soft and warm but stable… With my right hand I cut my left hand and a single drop of my blood hit the surface of the soil. I took it in my hands, put a piece of sky in it and made a round shape of it.. And then I burned it with my breath…The ambers of my dragon fire coated the round ball in my hands, initially burning tall and slowly subsiding…As the fire subsided, the ball started growing larger until it towered me about 6 times my size. It vibrated in vivid orange/amber and gold hues and a strange sensation came over me… The vibrations of the ball were connected to me.. It was vibrating as I was breathing… I could sense life within it and a connection unlike anything I knew. It was not the connection I had to my Father – it was more primal, more raw, and more direct… I touched the sphere and called him… “Come forth my child… Tell me your name… my son”, I but whispered. With that, I heard initially a slow rumble… The rumble intensified and the sphere started cracking and breaking.. Amber pieces started falling off, to reveal the gold, shimmering scales inside. With it, there was a movement and the first thing I saw where pair of wings… Gold as mine, but of immeasurable size… as they started opening, they shadowed over the clear sky .. Slowly the sphere stopped shaking and I heard a tremendous growl… The sphere turned and I was met with large pair of ember eyes looking curiously at me. A deep, strong husky voice spoke.. “I am Kal, mother”. I stood back to observe my masterpiece as he was moving and stretching out of the sphere… He was enormous. He easily towered closest volcano with his wings outstretched. I looked up to see his face only to be surprised when my son’s face came from the other side of me… His enormous gold and orange scaled body was wrapped in the circle around me, his giant paws resting on the soil from which he came. His wings were now fully stretched, and I could see their majesty… I turned to face his ember orbs only to be met with warmth of his breath as he nudged my face… A low emitting sound came from him looking at me.. There I stood – my silver eyes gently looking at my son, overwhelmed by emotion… I stretched my hand and touched his face… “Kal”In that very moment, the world stood still and nothing else mattered. I held my child’s face in my palms, and the happiness radiated from me, from every molecule of my being. I was looking at him, fighting back tears of joy. “Show me your other form”, I barely managed to say. Hearing my words, a swift sound of wind and movement came… Next to me, stood a creature on his upper legs mirroring mine with chocolate gold skin towering by a feet over me.. The ember orbs were the same, his raven hair covering his torso. He looked at me, looked himself, his arms stretched to me, unsure what to do… “Breathe my son, breathe…In.. and Out.”.. I touched his chest and shared life magic with him. With that he bent over and took a deep breath. The blood started spilling out of him creating a pool and when it reached me, it retracted back… Still on his knees, unable to move, I walked over to him. .. “Rise my son, rise Kal, My First Son, First Dragon King”.Related chapters
First Dragon: Blood Ties Emma
Emma POV The alarm was beeping incisively. It is 730 am … A little more I said… 10 more minutes. “You already overslept I heard – you have that interview at 11!!”, Leo my brother was bellowing from downstairs. Money was tight and I really needed to get up to try to get that job.. “Ok, ok I am coming!” This was the best time to sleep.. Lately my dreams have been strange and I would find myself awake at random times at night staring at the ceiling. I could not explain it – I was restless, yet I did not want to move.. I rushed to the bathroom to splash some water on my face and look at myself… You have to be presentable Emma I keep saying to myself.. Looking at my unruly brown locks which could easily pass for bird’s nest, I did not know what to do with myself.. My saving grace were always my eyes, which still showed their interesting green and gold color, yet today even they looked dulled and tired.“You want coffee?” I hear Leo say and I yell back – “sure – make some please!” Jumping

Silence and tension fell as Emma stepped out.. I tried to focus, but inexplicable feeling overtook my every thought. I was conflicted. Was I happy? Relived? Worried? Scared? Confused? The tornado of emotions hit me with absolute, raw, crippling force. “Was that her Madam?”, Mateo asks, anticipation evident in his voice, excitement palpable. “Is that her?”, his voice full of hope. “Is that Catherine’s daughter”? His face was expressionless, but I could feel his wanting, his love and his tension. We all loved Catherine. Whole family did. She was special. She was somebody that held us together, even thought that was technically Kal’s job. He did not get a say, after she was born, not that he complained much. He too was mesmerized by her, taken with her in a way none other were. He, my mighty son, everybody was deathly afraid of worshiped the ground she walked on. I thought of those years with a smile and happiness; ever since she was born, it was her presence, her sheer personality, her

Well, this was strange to say at least, I think to myself. I was grateful for Lily’s ride and getting here. Even though I was late, I was still hoping to make it to the interview. I quickly texted Leo that I made it, so he will not worry and opened the door. As I step into the lobby of the huge building it is even more intimidating than its view from outside. Large marble reception desk is in the center and a woman in her 30ties or so is sitting behind it... Her fiery red hair is styled to perfection, her icy cold blue eyes with perfect makeup. Her outfit looks like it costs more than my rent… I rush towards her nervously and she raises her eyes to me.. “Miss Brooke, I presume???” She says as she looks at her watch…“Err, yes I could not find the transportation from the trin station I stutter, I apologize I tell her hurriedly”. She taps on her computer screen and looks at her watch again. “Mr. Loke appreciates punctuality she says with the stern voice”, looking at me dismissively. I

The days were going slow.. I have been wanting to go back to Bavaria and spend time with my son, but the work in California was becoming more demanding by the minute, the work more demanding, and there was something else. There were things happening in my realm I could not explain and that put both me and the Beast on edge. My patience was growing thin and I was not a man to be played with. A lot was going wrong and after all this time, a lot going wrong was not something I could tolerate or afford. The meeting of the Council was in two weeks and there was a lot to prepare for… Things have been changing faster than we thought. The unexplained attacks in our European strongholds were increasing and we could not find its source… I have reached out to the vampire covens to find the source of this or to benefit from their seers, but so far, we got very little back as a result, which in itself was unheard of. Short of my brother’s Oracle and the crones I employed for centuries, Vampire magi

Emma’s POV More I stood there; more nervous I became. This place was starting the creep me out in a way. Mr. Locke’s voice sent shivers down my spine and not the good kind either – his words literally froze me in the spot and I felt hair on my hands stand up. I could not move – I felt as if I were glued to my spot. There was an inexplicable force in his tone, something I had never heard from anyone before, something dominating, raw and primal, yet controlled and directed. What was more interesting is that he did not even really raise his voice. I simply could not move and stood there. I felt like a statue and for a second wondered if he froze those warriors in their spot too… Not knowing what to do with myself or what to say, or where to look, I was fidgeting with my hands, trying not to show my stress and anxiety. I was grateful to the gorgeous red head lady as I indeed did wipe sweat from my face in the elevator, but it was coming back on, the little beads of it already appearing

Kal’s POVMy anger is still simmering within me, but I have an interview to do, I thought to myself. Compose yourself Kal, stop scaring humans. I knew my aura could affect them too, I knew that I came across as scary – it took millennia to control my burning rage and anger at times. And now, I am here with this tiny human girl, who looks like a mess every way from Sunday. Oh well, I thought. Yes, she is late, and yes, she is human, but my Seer has never been wrong. For centuries, the old crone has served me well, and I had no reason to doubt her now. Although, looking at the tiny human with messy hair and inability to speak, standing like frozen statue in front of me, I was starting to wonder. I moved slowly as not to scare her, I thought to myself. “We are scary and she is afraid”, Beast, my dragon half chimed in. Her big eyes were staring at me.. She clearly has not moved from where Valor left her. Not sure what was happening to her hair, and I could not decipher if that was the lo

Lily’s POV Mateo was an excellent driver and one of my sons whom I absolutely trusted with everything. Coming from the long line of Alpha werewolves, he was extremely loyal and fierce individual. Ever since he came of age, he was always with me, just as his father before him, and his before him, and so many in their family line. His family have been some of my guardians from the dawn of time, and now was his turn. I smiled thinking of him as a young pup, he was mischievous and always got himself in some type of trouble. Those days were gone, and even though he still held onto his sense of humor, his sense of duty and loyalty were always at the forefront. It took us about 2 hour drive to get to the cabin in the woods. I could have teleported myself within matter of seconds whereover I want, but over time I have grown accustomed to human forms of transportation. It helps me relay to them, understand them better, and blend in most importantly. The drive was uneventful and scenic, and it
Last Updated : 2022-09-10First Dragon: Blood Ties Mr Locke
Emma’s POV Mr. Locke’s energy hit me the moment he turned around. His aura filled the room and froze me in my spot. I could not move; I could not breathe. There was something so forceful about it, something so dehumanizing, overpowerin. It felt surreal, as if he was a vortex sucking energy and air out of the room, out of me, out of the universe! His golden-brown skin glistened in the light of day coming from outside and his orbs shone with a dangerous fire I have never seen in the waking world. The realization dawns on me – I have seen these fires, albeit only seen in my dreams, something akin to my constant nightmares really that I was having lately, and more frequently. It felt as if I were were staring within a bursting volcano from my nightmares and I did not know if I was hallucinating again or if this was real or stuck and there was no way out. Maybe all this is a dream, I thought to myself. Maybe I am at home sleeping and Ari will come and nudge me, purr softly and it will be

First Dragon: Blood Ties My Name Is Tariq
Leo POVThe night with Cassius was beyond words.. Beyond comprehension. I had never known love like this was possible, never knew that I could open up my heart to that extent. I did not even know that I had room for such love, that I was capable of such love. The only love up to this point in my life, the only belonging I felt was to my only family – my sister Emma. However, now, I understood that there are different kinds of love, that different possibilities existed within me, that I was capable of more, worthy of more, able to do everything, powerful enough to balance my life, and finally, my whole self. For the first time in my life, I felt complete. I did not know how to explain it. Being orphaned, Emma and I always missed that familial connection, that Sunday lunch with family, those kisses and hugs from your mom or dad, the way your parents smell, the way they smile at you.. The ways you will mess up and they will pretend to scold you, only to teach you about life, yet love you
First Dragon: Blood Ties Going Somewhere?
Emma POVThese people were crazy! Totally and absolutely bat-shit crazy!!! There was no other explanation – no other possibility. Somehow, when I accepted the job opportunity with Mr. Locke, I somehow walked into a world of crazy people, a world of strange events and strange individuals, a world which almost seemed like an alternate reality. I should have known that all of this would have been too good to be true - regardless of their obvious support and well-wishes. It has become clear that whomever mysterious Ro is or was, that she was likely onto something, and her warnings obviously warranted. I should have listened when I had a chance, I really should not have been swayed. If only I had trusted Ro and Myra, I would have already been gone, safely somewhere with Leo, away from these crazy, cult-like people. Dear God, what did I get myself into???I felt a great sense of frustration, unease and felt completely stupid for trusting them, trusting them with my brother, trusting them wi
First Dragon: Blood Ties HE IS WHAT?
Angela’s POV “Was she going into heat??? Or shifting???” Celia asked the same questions that were stuck in my mind as well. The three of us were sitting in a lounge sipping tea after Emma’s episode. She was strong, much stronger than we anticipated and in a state that we did not understand fully. Dr Sina was thinking. He had this habit of rubbing his chin whenever he was in deep thought, and by the looks of his behavior, he was definitely going to rub some skin off his face. Looking at us both with his soulful, wise eyes, he nodded at first, getting up and starting to pace around, obviously stressed out. “It is possible. It certainly felt as if she was about to do both, and had we not injected her, chances are she would have become a full-blown dragon, likely leveling the hospital down, killing everyone in it”, he replied gravely. The confirmation did not surprise me. However, things were not adding up. Usually, she-dragons would go into heat once she found her mate. Dragons went int
First Dragon: Blood Ties What Kind Of A Dream?
Emma POVThe anxiety and heat within me subsided gradually, but the sense that I felt complete, where I was discovering something new stayed with me – even in the darkness of my dream. However, I was not sure if I could call this a dream. Once Dr. Sina injected something into me, the darkness claimed me. However, I did not sleep. Fully alert as if I was awake, I started moving toward a sensual scent, a scent of pinecone and berries, a scent that was pulling me in a very specific direction. All my senses were enhanced, and I could feel everything around me.“There you are!!”, I heard the now familiar voice of the mystery man in my dreams. His strong arms were wrapped around my waist tightly, while he pulled me to him from behind. I still could not see his face, but his scent, and the sense of familiarity, sense of knowing this person, and sense of belonging were overpowering me. It felt right to be in his arms. I felt happy.His warm breath was on my neck, his soft, warm lips gently ki
First Dragon: Blood Ties Darkness
Emma POVMy heart was full for Leo. He had found him a man, a person to love him the way he deserved, the person to hold him, wipe his tears away when the skies go dark and cold, the person to make him laugh. He found his true love, or as the voice of my other-self within me said – his mate. Somehow, in my heart I knew this from the first time I ever saw Cassius. Everything within me screamed family, screamed recognition, screamed belonging, and the clarity hit me - as if I could see their life before them, their love and their day unfold. When Cassius called me to get advice as to how to set up a romantic date and dinner for Leo, I was only too happy to oblige. Plus, planning a romance took me away from dark thoughts about Mr. Locke, dark doubts and fears that were currently plaguing my mind. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, as Leo suggested. I knew that life sometimes turns good people into bad ones. However, all that I have seen in the files could not be justifie
First Dragon: Blood Ties He Was Gone
Lord Alwyin POVSo.. It was true. The prophecy of Amelia’s betrayal had come to pass. My wife and I had held on all this time, and tried our very best, including extreme measures to somehow offset and change her fate. Alas, what Lord Krimus had reported was dire. Aramah was back. And not just Aramah, its Queen Witch, Verena. I felt like I was in hell, betrayed by those closest to me, namely my child. I knew that in her own mind she held justification of what had happened, justification I could not negate, given that she thought her mate Darius was dead at my hands. When I saw her last, I could sense her anger and hatred towards me. At this point, she had hated me so long, that it was likely hard to pinpoint the origin of when that had begun.Xidna was a whole other story, her demands and her threats something completely else. I knew that I failed her, and whatever she had planned for us, was entirely my own fault. In truth, I should have known better. I should have known that she wou
First Dragon: Blood Ties City Lights
Leo POVI had no words for what just happened. I had no explanations, no prior understanding, just the raw unbridled emotion cursing through my body, pure pleasure and euphoria. And another feeling which dominated every ounce of my being. Cassius was MINE!!! MINE ALONE!! I heard the grumble in my chest, the determination of those words. I had not spoken them as of yet, but my whole being was screaming that this was my guy, my person, and my love. MINE. And MINE ALONE! There was something that happened to me the moment he kissed me, the moment he fell on his knees. The moment of recognition of some kind, somehow, someway, I knew, without a shred of a doubt, that he was my soulmate, my everything, and the only person other than Emma that I would give my life for. The veracity of those feelings hit me unexpectedly, yet not irrationally. Right before he showed up in my life, things were different. And now, with him here, and what just happened, I found myself in a vortex of emotion, stood
First Dragon: Blood Ties Date (Part 2)
Cassius POVI wanted tonight to be perfect. I called Emma in advance to learn more about Leo’s favorite foods, what he liked to drink, even what kind of flowers he liked. I realized that they came from humble backgrounds, and I desperately did not want to be a show-off, but at the same time I wanted to give him the world – everything I had, my heart included, already belonged to him anyway. I also had a surprise help from an unexpected source. His friend Theo, who worked at the garage with him, was there when I went to see Albert and asked discretely about him. Somehow, he overheard our conversation and decided to chime in and share that Leo’s dream car was a Mercedes G63, and I decided to buy him one as a present. The car I drove tonight was Leo’s and I hope he liked it. I was going to give it to him at the end of our date as a gift – I did not want to have him apprehensive during dinner. “We do not need to throw wealth in Leo’s face, Cassius. He is not like that”, Marcus advised. I
First Dragon: Blood Ties Date (Part 1)
Leo POVCassius’ phone call was exciting. He said he had planned a special date for us, and I felt as if I was walking on clouds. My stomach tightened just at the sound of his voice, and I grew weak in my knees thinking of his plump, gentle lips, his chiseled jaw, and body the Gods themselves would be jealous of. My favorite thing about him was his smile. When he smiled at me, I felt like the only person in the world. That smile reached into the depths of my soul and touched my heart. Every time I heard his voice, my stomach and chest would both flutter as if dozens of butterflies danced around it. Timing worked out great - with Mr. Locke rescheduled the dinner. I had time to have my date with Cassius.Emma’s words and files I read weighed heavily on me. However, somehow, I was willing to give Mr. Locke the benefit of the doubt. Somehow, the timing of all this seemed too perfect, and too coincidental, and I was not a man that believed in coincidence. Moreover, the voice, my inner voic
