Sitting by the fireplace on Alec’s lap, she wanted to get his mind off everything he had been through with his family. Nuri wanted to show him that right in the palm of his arms, that he had a beautiful future just waiting for his embrace. Alec kissed up and down Nuri’s neck and heard her moan lightly, he allowed his hands to slip up her dress and Nuri, had a mischievous idea, she slapped Alec’s hand away and smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling his hair slightly to expose his neck; she ran her tongue along his neck and up to his ear, she whispered,
“You’re not getting it that easy.”
She sucked his ear lobe seductively and made him growl lowly; Alec grabbed her thigh and his claws elongated just a little bit leaving some red scratch marks on Nuri’s thighs. Nuri pulled back and looked down.
“Semi-transformation, I did not know we could do that.”

We read so often of a time when dragons fought and ruled with their mates by their side, how the dragon found his mate… but nobody seems to wonder; where it all began, what if I told you; that there was a time when the great Archdragons had no mates. The world was young and feral, dragons flew wild and free, high above the fluffy white clouds, gliding gracefully. The world was magnificent, with green mountains and creatures of all kinds, magical and normal all living in harmony. The most powerful dragons known to exist were the Archdragons. Each Archdragon was blessed with the gift to control the element they were born with. There was the Archdragon of Earth a magestic golden brown color, much like the, color of sand kissed by the sun; his name was Alluvium, he ruled over the element of earth itself… the lush green fields and fertile soil were all under his command, the humans believed that if they had a good year of crop growth and fertile lands;that the Earth dragon was in a good m
In ancient times humans were suffering from famine and diseases, they were weak and pathetic; one human man eventually got tired of being at the mercy of the God-like dragons. Walking in the woods he stumbled upon a glowing flower… it was the only of it’s kind, he was curious and in a cloth he wrapped the strange flower, once in his cottage he boarded up the windows and began to work, he didn’t know what he was doing… simply following a voice in his head, he brewed the flower into a kind of tea and drank it carefully… he felt a strange surge of power within him. There were a few books with weird markings that could create the elements… he tried and tested the marking for fire, he lit the fireplace. That is how the first human found magic, as the years passed by he helped many of the people in his village, other villages became jealous and angry at the fact that only him and his offspring had the gift of magic and soon the hunt for all sources of magical creatures and plants began.Eve
Day break came faster than Alec had expected, he woke up feeling frustrated… his erection still vaguely present, taking a cold shower he cleared his mind. Changed and grabbing his bag of supplies, he mounted his black stallion and rode off into the forest, the sun started rising it was a cool autumn day… the rust color leaves gracing the forest ground. They were deep within the forest, Alec looked at his map… the path they were on was correct; by this time tomorrow he would be nearing Queen Nuri’s , they journeyed further in and came to a dam; it was just after noon, the sky was turning to hues of pink and orange, it was truly beautiful. The night chill set in and Alec built a fire and roasted a pigeon he had just killed. His horse grazing in the field nearby. The next day they began their journey at dawn, passing a nearby village Alec stopped to allow his stallion to have some carrots and oats, while he went to a bakery nearby to get some breakfast and pack up some bread for the res
The doors opened to a living room, with a double curved grand staircase with black and gold balustrades, for a cave in a volcanic mountain it was light and spacious, not to mention the cool breeze that flowed to keep cool. Bolts of lightning in what Alec assumed was lightning proof container lit up the interior of the beautiful cave mansion, the couches were a cream leather like material, the coffee table had a glass top with gold legs… a fireplace that was lit with a low burning fire, a regal painting of a huge fire dragon hung above the mantle… it was the fire dragon that ruled before Queen Nuri; he was fierce, red with gold edged scales and black edged wings with golden tips… he was magnificent and so majestic. Alec was so enthralled by how everything was set up, he didn’t even understand why such a large beast would need human sized furniture or furniture of any kind… all the questions flowed through his mind, that he did not notice the woman that now stood on the final step of
As you now know; archdragons have no mates… for many millenniums archdragons were males, as in the human world the male species is always favored when it comes to power and carrying a legacy forward. Our dragon goddess Drakina believed that it was a time for change. When the time came for the birth of new archdragons, it was her will to move the entire universe into a new direction.Each element was given a male egg to protect and nurture, but the fire archdragons woke up to a glowing red in the hands of the goddess herself,FLASHBACK“Your Grace”The fire archdragon bowed and the goddess accepted,“Brandon, the time has come for you to have a successor”She outstretched her hands towards the archdragon of fire holding the egg for him to take, he squinted and pulled away from the
In the upcoming days Alec sent messages to the three other villages that were protected by the other element archdragons; Nuri was up in her library, she had asked Alec not to disturb her as the other element archdragons were not as open minded as her when it came to showing humans their shapeshifter abilities and so Alec abided. After sending out the letters to the other village chiefs and their head sorcerers, Alec went up to his room… laying on his bed he started thinking about his conversation with Nuri from the other night. It felt nice to know someone was willing to listen to him and maybe even accept him with all his flaw and baggage. He sat upright, but what if she didn’t… he would be heartbroken, was it worth the risk? He got off the bed and went into the hot tub and just soaked; maybe the steam and warm water would help him think better and relax. Alec got in and let the water engulf his senses, the st
Alec woke up feeling empty and tense, all through yesterday Nuri was completely aloof from him and stayed up in either her room or library, no matter how hard Alec tried Nuri avoided him like the plague, Alec started to have growing concerns, what if their picnic was nothing more than Nuri being vulnerable. He couldn’t be hurt, not again. For now he had to keep his mind clear and focused. The meeting was more important; these matters needed urgent attention, what ever was happening between him and Nuri would have to wait a while. By sunset Nuri and Alec stepped out, “You might need to stand back” was all Nuri said to Alec, He took a step back and watched as she changed, her body burst into flames, they danced and morphed into the magnificent beast, her wings spread across, her scarlet scales to perfection… he walked towards her and reached out to touch her, she hestitated but allowed it. Her scales were perfect and
Sitting by the fireplace on Alec’s lap, she wanted to get his mind off everything he had been through with his family. Nuri wanted to show him that right in the palm of his arms, that he had a beautiful future just waiting for his embrace. Alec kissed up and down Nuri’s neck and heard her moan lightly, he allowed his hands to slip up her dress and Nuri, had a mischievous idea, she slapped Alec’s hand away and smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling his hair slightly to expose his neck; she ran her tongue along his neck and up to his ear, she whispered,“You’re not getting it that easy.”She sucked his ear lobe seductively and made him growl lowly; Alec grabbed her thigh and his claws elongated just a little bit leaving some red scratch marks on Nuri’s thighs. Nuri pulled back and looked down.“Semi-transformation, I did not know we could do that.”
Back at Mount Inferno Vertex, Nuri waited for days on end to hear back from her beloved; she often wondered if thoughts of her crossed his mind, if they made him smile… by now Nuri could shape shift between her dragon and human form; she wanted to surprise Alec with this news as well as the news of their egg that laid protected deep within the heart of Mount Inferno Vertex. Days turned into weeks and Nuri had heard nothing from Alec… the silence was becoming deafening; Nuri was so consumed in her own little fantasy bubble, that she did not realize her domain was falling apart; she did not stop to even think about what Alec might be going through with his family. That night, Nuri went to bed with tears in her eyes and a heavy heart… would he ever come back?In the early hours of the next morning Nuri woke up to the sound of pot and pans making noise and indistinct singing, she wielded a fire orb in her right hand as she slowly descended from the stairs; she made her way to the kitchen,
The weeks turned into months, the relationship between Nuri and Alec started to become strained. What was supposed to be a quick trip and settle his family into the cabin and return to Nuri; that trip had now turned into three months, with his mother and sister consuming his days. Alec’s mind often wondered to thoughts of Nuri, he longed for her to be in his arms, he had last heard from her two weeks ago; she had sent a letter telling him that a big surprise was awaiting him back at their home, Mount Inferno Vertex. Alec, had not been able to reply to her since he was juggling his family on one hand and on the other he was trying to find out why villagers were leaving the fire domain, every time he tried to speak to anyone that was leaving he was met with angry faces, grunts and shrugged off; he started to feel frustrated at the growing confusion and tension that is his life. Early one morning Alec went for a walk in the village square, he was heartbroken to see that most of the store
Alluvium was woken up by the sound of a loud bang on the other end of the mansion, getting out of his luxury king sized bed he walked over and saw from Akantha’s study there was thick clouds of white smoke coming out, he ran in pushing the windows wide open and pulled Akantha out of the study.“What the fuck were you doing?”“Potion making”“It could not wait till morning?”“I work best at night… what do you care anyway?”“I don’t; but I wont let you cause explosions in my house. Aren’t you supposed to be one of the best?”“I am, but mishaps do take place”Alluvium was furious; this dumb woman was working on heavens knows what, at this hour and disturbed his sleep; he pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, taking a deep breath,“What potion were you making that it could not wait till morning?”“I wanted to make a potion to pollute the waters, the more people fall ill the more they will turn to you and slowly they will treat you as their King, more dragons will do your bidd
While Nuri and Alec had gone underground and Winstrain vanished into thin air; Miranda was but a distant memory to Alluvium and having dropped the dead weight and the fact that he did not have to face the wrath of three archdragons, gave him bountiful opportunities to gather dragons from each of the elements and convince them to join his rebel cause, he would have Nuri as his queen and he would cause an element archdragon war to get his way. Goko had been preoccupied as well, but he did not leave Alluvium unchecked.At the shoreline between borders, Goko and Alluvium met in human form; Goko hoped that he would be able to stop the brewing war and bring Alluvium on track again; Goko already had much happening in the Water kingdom, a secret he was hiding and he needed to get back to that before things unraveled. As Alluvium approached the rocky shore, Goko wished that the other two, or at least one of them was present with him. Here; he was fighting this alone. The two archdragons exchan
The next morning, the atmosphere in the cottage was tense, Ronilda left early; making sure to slam the door. Petronella had tried to talk Ronilda into coming with them, but she had made it very clear that she wanted nothing more to do with Alec and that was the end of the conversation. The horse and cart arrived just after breakfast. There was a bed in the back of the cart, Alec helped carry his mother onto the stretcher and into the cart. Petronella took one last look at the only home she had known her entire life, it was bitter-sweet goodbye, a tear escaping her eyes as she the horse and cart rolled moved and the view of the cottage grew smaller and smaller till out of sight. Petronella looked at her mother, she noticed that the handkerchief was stained with old blood, probably from last night, she replaced the stained dirty one with a cleaner one, Alec peeped in from the front of the cart; he was sitting out front with the driver, “How is mother doing?” “Okay as of now.” “We wil
Alec transformed into his dragon form and took off from Mount Inferno. As he flew among the clouds, with the wind caressing his huge wings and feeling the cold air on his face; his mind kept wondering back to Nuri and how she was doing; all that kept him going was the thought of finishing this off and getting back to his mate, the love of his life! I arrived at my old village in the fire domain, by walking or horseback, it was at least a day’s trip; with flying, it took him about half an hour. He landed in a clearing just on the outskirts of the village and changed back into human form, he ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a heavy sigh. This was going to be a long and grueling day. It had been years since he left this village; since he left the only home he’d ever know… he left as a young boy and returned as a man; it had been years and still his feet knew the path home’ he stood outside the little cottage. It looked a little run down. He opened the door to the cottage; h
Alec was exploring his powers of an archdragon in human form, he could wield light from the fire into a ball of bright white light, he could build storm clouds that made the spring days look dark and apocalyptic, as much as Alec wielded and commanded the power of being a light dragon, without darkness there is no light and the darkness that was desperately trying to consume him… You see, in the midst of becoming an archdragon, Nuri and Alec being blessed by the Dragon Goddess with child. The light of hope burned bright, even if only for a moment. As fate would have it, an upheaval had reared its ugly head and Alec would have to face it alone, this was the only way to protect Nuri as it is she already had enough to worry about with Alluvium starting to become more aggressive with his attacks, Goko having to deal with water rogue dragons that join Alluvium’s cause. Winstrain had literally vanished into thin air; nobody had heard from him in weeks.A c
I had spent several weeks visiting the villages in my kingdom, each time my eyes searched only for her. I had spent time thinking over everything that Alec spoke to me about, that there was a possibility of me not knowing the entire story. It was also a great way for me to meet my subjects without having them tremble with fear. I got hear their honest opinions about me and what I could change to make the rift between human and dragons less of a burden. Talking to some of his subjects, he had heard good things about himself, but they all raised on concern “what was Mighty Winstrain doing to lessen the strain of rebel dragons”This got me thinking, I actually hadn’t done anything to alleviate the situation, but I would do more once my head was in the right space, I came to a village that was near to my mansion. The smell of fresh baked chocolate cookies hit my nose and I walked to the bakery, there was a medium built women with her bake to the co
