*Ember*We traveled in Kieran's car through the part of the Lockebrooke Forest that had a road. Kieran and I had finished our previous evening at Fae Fountain Tavern and early the next morning, he came to my room to wake me up for our trip to the forest. I watched as the large tree trunks passed by my window as he expertly drove around the curves and bends in the road, occasionally turning to glance at me. We had been quiet, sipping on the water in my travel cup taking it all in."Lockebrooke Forest," Kieran said with a whistle as he looked away from me and back through his windshield. "This forest must hold a lot of secrets. I'm interested to know how this Seraphina woman has survived in the woods for so long.""I know," I said, raising my eyebrows and placing my cup down. I continued speaking, uttering a question I was afraid to ask, "What do you think will happen?""I'm not sure, Ember," Kieran said with a concerned voice. "I think it's good that we prepared the others in ca
*Kieran*I ate my stew after we filled our bowls, eyeing Seraphina carefully. I didn't want to make any sudden moves or say the wrong thing that could make her further distrust me as a dragon. I was hoping there was some way we could convince her to teach Ember. Ember seemed quieter as well as she ate her food. Seraphina was telling us a story about a time when Verona was teaching her a complicated spell."Then she passed me the ball of fire she had made and yelled, 'Catch!'" Seraphina gestured as if she was throwing a ball at Ember. Ember and I couldn't help but chuckle. It sounded like the two had been very close. Although I wondered who Ember's father was and why her mother hadn’t told his identity to her best friend. Perhaps this would have to remain a mystery. For now, I was just happy to know that Ember had more information about her birthright and who she truly was. Even if it was a little awkward interacting with someone who despised dragons, this trip had been worth
*Ember*We drove past the gate as we made it safely onto the castle grounds after visiting Seraphina. I felt drained emotionally and physically and I barely registered the fact that Kieran had pulled into the castle's large garage filled with everyone's cars. He parked the car and turned it off, twisting his body toward me. "So," he started to say as he looked me up and down. "What did you think about that excursion? What did you think of Seraphina? I’m sure you weren’t expecting her to have been good friends with your mother.""Um, a mix of good and bad? I guess? And I had no idea my mom and her were friends." I grimaced and shrugged. "I really wish Seraphina would agree to train me. I'd learn more spells and skills from her faster than I have currently been learning. She seems like such a wise person."Kieran eyed me curiously as I explained my feelings to him. He fiddled with a few buttons on his car distractedly as he watched me, and nodded in response, "I understand. I co
*Kieran*I was having a wonderful dream of Ember's slender legs wrapped around my head and shoulders. She was quivering under me in pleasure as I licked all over her pussy planning on sucking her dry. She was calling out my name with desire and she moaned as she tightened her legs around my head. I liked having her right where I wanted her, making sure she couldn't leave before the waves of pleasure washed over her."Do you like that, baby?" I asked her looking up from her pussy for a second."Kieran," she said breathlessly, locking eyes with me. "Can you please just join me already? I want you.""You don't have to ask me twice, although I like hearing you beg," I grinned but I listened to her request lining up at her entrance. "Are you ready for me, baby?""Yes," she nodded, opening her legs wider. "Please.""Good girl," I said and slowly dipped the tip of my dick into her."Oh, that feels… so good, Kieran you feel incredible," she moaned under me as I pushed my entir
*Kieran*As promised, Nola, Zephyr, and Thorne met me in the study and we all stood apprehensively over a map of the Burning Isles. The tension was heightened and we were quieter than usual thinking about the drastic situation in our homeland. My uncle had finally lost all of his marbles and was killing any dragons or humans even looking at him the wrong way. When even a hint of a threat to his power crossed his mind, my uncle had always been quick to action and slow to think things through. Growing up under his rule as a young dragon, my uncle tried to control me in every aspect of my life. He used me to carry out cruelty on our citizens in the Burning Isles and I hated him for it. It gave dragons a bad rep, and humans often cowered around us. They would avoid us like we were some sort of plague.It was my intention that someday I would change the way dragons were viewed and hopefully change the way dragons thought of humans. Just because they weren't as powerful as dragons
*Ember*I watched the blue fire dance in my hands as I swayed my fingers back and forth. I was proud of what I had accomplished this week while practicing my fire magic. With Nola's guidance, I had read through Seraphina's books and found spells that were for beginners. I had started making headway and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.I felt like I had almost some form of writer's block, but in this case it had been fire magic block. With that gone, now I was free to try magic spells without being bogged down. I had finally made progress with my training. If anyone tried to attack me now, I had gained control over my powers, and I was a force to be reckoned with.I grinned over at Nola as we stood outside near the gardens. She smiled back at me."I can tell you are proud of yourself, Ember," she laughed as I bounced the blue fire flame from one hand to the next. "And I'm proud of you too.""Thanks Nola, I can't help but feel a little more confident now,"
*Ember*Today was the day. The day Kieran had to return to the Burning Isles, his homeland. I stared at myself in the mirror thinking about how terrified I was. Not having Kieran around would be an adjustment that I wasn't too sure about. Living at the castle was harmonious with having Kieran here by my side through the entire time I had been here.But I realized we'd been spoiled…this had always been coming. Now he was leaving, it felt like the castle was that much bigger. What was I going to do without him near? The days went by quickly when I spent time with Kieran. I knew that I'd still have Nola, Zephyr, and Thorne here and that was comforting but none of them were him. They couldn't fill the hole that he would be leaving in his absence.To top it all off, Kieran had told me yesterday that he had feelings for me. Finding out that he loved me was shocking, because I had never fully grasped how I had felt about him. Actually I denied myself that pleasure because I had thoug
*Kieran*After having said goodbye to my friends and the love of my life I didn't want them to see the emotions running across my face. A tear had escaped from one of my eyes and I stepped through the portal, feeling ready as I ever would be to finally return home. I felt the portal rush over me as I stepped through. It felt like I was walking through water for a split second, and I wondered if I'd ever get used to using portals. It closed behind me as I took my first step back in the Burning Isles.It was evening, the clouds littered the skies with hues of gray, pink, and purple. The sun was setting over the horizon with an orange glow. It would have been a beautiful sunset if it weren't for the smoke rising from the rubble of a desolated town below the hill I was standing on. I looked around in horrid dismay observing the destruction. Not only was the small village below wrecked beyond compare, smoke rose from the ruins as if recently having been set on fire. I couldn't see
