The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย The Spirits of Old/School Trips
In the late 15th century, a human stole the Dragon Stone from my people. For thousands of years, we lived alongside humans. We protected them from the dangers of this world: vampires, demons, werewolves, and other blood-thirsty creatures that would take too long to name.What did they do to thank us for our protection?They stole the source of our power and turned on us.Without the dragon stone, we lost the ability to transform, the ability to wield magic, and our ability to reproduce. The stone was a gift to the first dragon. The story is so old that it is unclear what the sorcerer's name was, but he cursed his former lover after she had an affair. He transformed her into a dragon. It said that she was so heartbroken that she jumped into the water, hoping to drown, but instead found peace in the water.Years later, she surfaced, desperate for human interaction, but found everyone feared her. After trying to kill herself, the sorcerer gifted her with a s

TrudyI decide to get a drink while the bus stops and debate on if I should get crackers or something. Pulling out my money, I feel someone behind me swipe their card. I don’t need to look to know who it is.Turning around, I hand Bryan the money I was going to give to the cashier. His golden eyes stare at me with heartache, “Please, can we just talk, Tru?” I roll my eyes and begin walking away, “Baby, please. I’m sorry. I don’t want to lose you. Please give me a chance to explain. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind last night. The guys were talking about us and how we only know each other. That I won’t have any stories of hooking up with random girls in Europe as they do. My drunk brain made a poor decision.”I pause and turn towards him. We haven’t spoken since this morning when I saw the girl leave. Bryan tried to talk to me, but I couldn’t. Speaking in public will test my ability to be ration

TrudyBritany and I walk down a boardwalk with a few pubs and a popular nightclub. One the way to the club, we pass a fortune-teller stand. “Tru, let’s get our palms read,” Britany tells me excitedly. I shake my head. “Oh, come on, it will be fun. What’s the worse that can happen?”“Look no offense to the teller, but there is no evidence that your palm has anything to do with the outcome of your life. Besides, you’re just inviting bad things to happen when you mess with trying to read the future.”Britany looks at me, surprised, “I didn’t know you were so superstitious.”“I’m not, but things like this give me the creeps.”She sighs, “At least come with me to get mine done. You don’t have to do it.”I nod, and we walk towards the woman’s stand. The sun is starting to set, and it looks like she is closing up the shop. “Hello

TrudyThe next couple of days, Bryan and I don’t leave each other’s sides. As we begin our Scotland tour, everything that happened in Ireland seems like it’s far in the past.“When we get back home, why don’t we find a place of our own?”I pull back and look up at him, surprised. “You want to move in together?”He nods, “Why not? It seems like the next step for us. The penthouse apartment will be available soon in the building my parents own. There are going to sign it over to me. It could be our place.” Bryan runs his nose up the crook of my neck before he begins kissing me.I breathlessly respond, “I don’t know Bryan. You enjoy having parties, and I always need to study.”“I’m done throwing parties. If I want to, I can go to someone else’s.” He whispers in my ear, “Besides, cleaning up takes too long. I’d much rather spend a Sa

TaranI feel a presence nearing me. I’m still in stone, but I can feel myself beginning to wake. The doors creak open, and I hear light footsteps in the room. I can't see, but I can hear and smell. The person who enters is a woman. She’s light on her feet and doesn’t seem to smell like fear, more of curiosity and wonder. Then I smell something else, a wolf. It isn’t her, but she’s close to one. Is she here as a spy? Maybe she knows it’s almost time for me to awaken and hopes to kill me.If that is her plan, she’s in for a surprise. I’m quick and can easily overpower one human before they even know it. My mother and the council turned me to stone to freeze me in time. Being stone should not affect me. I will be in the same shape I was before becoming stone.The woman trips and falls into me. I’m too heavy for her to knock over, but there was a moment I questioned if that is what she was trying to do. Then she

TrudyI find Taran attractive but a colossal jerk. His tone is always condescending. As a person, I don’t believe I like him. But something is telling me this isn’t the real him. When he first started talking, I thought all of this was a joke, but it would be a lot of effort to go this far. I realized at the stairs this was real. The basic world I knew isn’t real. There are doors that appear out of nowhere, walls you can walk through, crystals that work as lights, and a man that is outside nature's laws.Taran asks for my hands, and I reluctantly give them to him. He pushes them together, places the gem in my hands, then covers them with his. Closing my eyes, I begin to see things. I’m transported to another time.I see Tantallon castle in its prime. It’s full of music and laughter. People are dancing.“You cannot let go of my hand, but we can walk around the room, and I will explain everything.” Taran’s voi

TaranTru shows me what male clothes look like today. It’s surprising how much the world has changed in 500 years. I use the fae dust to cast a glamor spell allowing me to create clothes. I don’t like the look or feel of them, but they will do until I find something better.I turn to Tru. She’s dressed and waiting by the door. I grab some gold, my mother’s letter, and the lighting crystal. Tru seemed to be very interested in it, and I didn’t explain how they work yet.“Are you ready?” She nods, and I offer her my hand. We leave the temple. As we walk through the cave, I don’t let her hand go. I want to tell myself it’s that I don’t trust her. But it’s because I like touching her. Tru skin is soft and smooth. There is a tenderness in her touch that I’ve never experienced. I find myself wanting more.We make it back up to the castle grounds. Tru lets go of my hand when a girl with

TrudyWe are at the museum, and I explain things to Taran. He seems to be accepting everything well. I’m sure it’s overwhelming and confusing. He was understanding and patient with me earlier, and I hope I can give him the same sense of security.After the museum, we go to the library. On the way, we stop at a jewelry store. He sells four ounces and gets a little more than five thousand pounds. We leave and find a clothing store. He is currently wearing dark denim jeans and a black polo shirt. The shirt shows his build well. Taran looks pretty good, I must admit.After trying different looks, he finds a few things he likes. There are a couple of short-sleeve button-up shirts that fit him nicely and a few t-shirts. Though he didn’t like them, Taran got a few pairs of jeans and shorts. We find him some shoes and socks then start back towards the hotel.“Tomorrow I have a museum tour until noon, then the rest of the day is free. I hav

The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Enchanted Pool
We walk back to the house. There is a small stairway on the other side of a large, empty room. We descend into a room where a pool resides. There are no windows, but stones in the wall seem to glow. I approach one, my fingers gently glide over it. The stone flickers. I hear music. The stones seem to be humming. All the stones flicker one by one, playing a melody that seemed so familiar, but I couldnโt place.โNow they are going to show off for you,โ Taran says with amusement.I canโt help but smile. โWhat song is this?โTaran shakes his head, โI cannot hear them, I can only see them.โMy smile fades. โReally?โTaran nods, โYou were blessed by the spirits. You can see and hear things others cannot.โI shrug, โIโm not good with magic. I used to make smoke animals to entertain children, but their parents felt uncomfortable with it, so I stopped. Then I tried at home, but after a few mishaps, it was strongly advised that I didnโt continueโ.โShow me,โ Taran says.I feel slightly embarrass
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย You look like a king
We land on the beach near our house. I struggle to climb off Taran, but he uses his tail to help me. After Taran passes me the box, he steps away. โWait,โ I stammer.Taran pauses, watching me closely. I put the box on the ground. โI havenโt gotten a good look at you. This is the real you, right?โ I asked gesturing towards him.A grumble, then Taranโs bends his head so his gaze meets mine. I extend my hand out to touch him but quickly recoil. โIโm sorry. I forgot that it is rude to pet someone.โAnother grumble, followed by something gripping me around the waist. Iโm pulled towards the dragon. If my hands were not in front of me then I would have slammed into him, face first.โYou donโt mind me touching you?โ I asked. Taran shakes his head. My fingers trace the red scales varying in hue. Some are bright red, some scarlet, other a blood red all with thin golden marbling. โYouโre beautiful,โ I whisper. I look up into Taranโs reddish-orange eyes. โAnd youโre warm. I assumed you would feel
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Reunited with the family Part 2
โShe used you to get to me?โ I asked. David nods. A look of shame washes over his face. โIโm sorry you were put in that position,โ I tell him.David nods, โIโm sorry I let her manipulate me.โSomething inside me seems to break. Looking at Taran, I ask, โWill it ever stop?โTaran shakes his head, โNo, but Iโm never letting you go again.โ Taran squeezes my hand, โThat is why I made a home for us. I put wards around our home to protect you.โโIt doesnโt end with me, does it? What about the heir you desperately want?โ I demanded.โWithout an heir, the dragons will die. They will fight for power until they kill each other, leaving the world open to all the night creatures to kill. The water, the ground, and even the air will become poisoned.โ Taranโs eyes soften, โI know youโre worried about the future, but I promise you if we decide to ignore our destiny, the future is much worse.โI stare at Taran, โThey will never be a child. Someone will always be trying to hurt them or take advantage
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Reunited with the family Part 1
โTrudy-bug,โ my father cries when he sees me. He hugs me so tightly that I can barely breathe. โI was worried you would never want to see me again.โโIโm sorry, Dad,โ I say as tears start to stream down my face.โNo. No. Iโm sorry. I shouldโve listened to you about Cindy,โ my father said.โWhat happened?โ I asked.My father shakes his head, โItโs not important now. All that matters is that youโre safe.โ He motions towards a house, โCome, I will have everyone over soon to say hello.โTaran stands next to me after shifting back into his human form. My father smiles and offers him a hand, โTaran, thank you for bringing her home.โTaran accepts my father's hand, โTruโs home is with me. Once she is settled, I will take her to learn from the spirits. She will likely be gone a year or more.โโYouโre sending me away?โ I asked surprised.Taran nods, โWhen I can no longer teach you, yes. I will visit you often.โโI am not losing another year with my family,โ I replied.โWe will not discuss this
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย I don't like flying
โI really donโt like flying,โ I protest as Taran and I pack for the trip to my familyโs island.โYou were meant to soar, little dove.โ Taran replies. His arms wrap around my waist from behind, โYou are a mate to a dragon. Trust me, soon you will love being above the clouds.โI lean back against his chest. โWhat does my family think of all this?โTaran kisses the side of my head, โThey donโt completely understand, but they know I will keep you safe at all costs.โโWhen will the dragons no longer see me as a threat? How long will we stay here?โ I asked.I hear the smile in Taranโs voice. โNot even two days and youโre wanting to leave.โโItโs not that,โ I argue. โI miss seeing people living their daily lives. Not cowering from me in fear or kissing up to me.โโThe dragons will kiss up to you a lot, when they arenโt scheming your death.โI snort, โYou forget I lived with wolves.โโOne day, I will bow at your feet and beg for forgiveness at letting those animals take you,โ Taran murmurs in
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Punishment
Taran grabs my dress and tears it down the middleโthe dress pools at my feet before I can react. Taran grabs my wrists and pulls me towards the bed. Using his body weight to hold me in place, he bends me over the bed, holding my wrist behind my back. I struggle to get away until his free hand comes down on my bottom, causing a terrible sting. The impact stops my struggle.With a gentle touch, Taran soothes my back cheek. His voice is calm, but stern: โNo clothes in the bed, dove. I want to feel your soft skin against me when we are in bed. I would prefer you naked at all times, but I have compromised and even provided you with clothes.โ Taran removes his hand before bringing it down on the other cheek.โOw,โ I cry. Iโm sure Taran has left his handprint on both sides of my bottom. โI wonโt wear clothes in bed again my dragon.โโWhy should I believe you, dove?โ Taran asked. His hand slowly moves down the back of my thigh, then up the inside. Without thinking, I spread my legs wider for
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย You broke the deal
I sit at the foot of the bed, watching the storm. The bedroom lights are dim, and I can see the waves crashing onto the shore as the lightning flashes.My back faces the door to the hall as I stare out the window. โYouโre not supposed to wear clothes in bed,โ Taran says, causing me to jump. I didnโt mean to startle you,โ he adds while walking toward me. He removes his clothes before sitting opposite me. Taran hands me a package wrapped in paper: โI brought you a present.โโThank you,โ I reply.I unwrap the package to find a magic book as Taran explains, โI know you didnโt get to practice a lot of magic in the last couple of years. If you are interested, I can help you.โโI didnโt know dragons could use magic,โ I reply while flipping through the book.โYou will surpass me in a few months, but I can use magic. Most dragons have a natural magic, and the royal dragons can use spells.โ Taran shrugs, โWe can make charms and potions too, but Iโm not very good.โโI would appreciate any help y
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Rolling Thunder
A loud crash of thunder jolts me from my sleep. The lightening brightens the room momentarily, and I find myself alone. A dim light seeps in from under the door. As I sit up, the room begins to brighten. I open the chest where Taran got the dress out and find that it is full of sundresses. I pick one and go out into the hall.Taran stands in the kitchen, cooking. He is dressed in a cotton shirt and board shorts. โHello,โ I say awkwardly.Turning towards me, Taran shows no emotion on his face. โHello, dove. How did you sleep?โโI slept great until the thunder. What about you?โTaran is back, facing the food. โI didnโt sleep, there is much for me to do.โโWhat are you making? Can I help?โ I offer.โItโs almost ready. Why donโt you set the table?โI nod and start looking for plates and utensils. โWhat do you want to drink?โ I asked.โJust water,โ he replies.I find glasses and fill them. Taran brings the food to the table, and we sit down to eat. โIt smells nice,โ I say with a smile.Tar
The Dragon's Stoneย ย ย Gently
His tongue gently touches my lip, asking for entrance. Without much hesitation, I allow my tongue to meet his. The kiss becomes deeper as our tongues begin to dance. Taran’s hand moves up my hip to my waist, and finally my breast. His thumb strums my nipple through the thin fabric of my dress.Pulling back a little, Taran helps me sit up as he pulls the straps of my dress down and exposes my breast. He gently puts his hand on my chest and encourages me to lie back. I feel Taran slowly pulling up my skirt. Without thinking, I spread my legs for him. There is a hint of amusement in his voice, “You glisten.” Taran looks into my eyes. “It’s very beautiful.”We go back to kissing. Taran nips at my lips, causing me to let out a moan. I feel Taran smile against my skin, “Are we going to continue pretending you don’t want me to touch you, little dove?”I nip at his lips and chin. “I don’t know what you me
