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 rest of the journey. The baker and his wife were notorious for spreading rumors and love getting gossip. While ringing up Alec’s order the bakers wife leaned over the counter,

“So honey… why packing up like you’re on a trip?”

“Because I am on a long journey”

Alec was being polite, even though he knew where this conversation was heading… after all, this was the couple that started spreading the rumor from one village to another that the dragon queen and Alec had a little more than friendship between them. The thought of that just made him angry.

“And where are you going”

“My lady, you’ll come to know in time. Good day”

“But…”

“Good… day”

The tone of Alec’s voice changed, his facial expression hardened, the bakers wife backed away from the counter with her arms up in surrender faking a smile to hide the fear she felt rise within her. Stepping out into the high morning sun, Alec could see that the rebel dragons had visited not so long ago, the burnt wood still smoldering… the ruins of some houses and shops that managed to withstand the violent attack, as Alec traveled further the damage he saw was worse than the village before. It was completely destroyed and not a survivor in sight, he found a some lifeless bodies, both women and children; the claw marks along their torso’s and necks… it was clear that these dragons were now killing and looting for sport. As he rode on after the last village, the sights he had seen broke his heart… he started to change his opinion about the archdragons… even about Queen Nuri, how could these heinous crimes go on for so long unnoticed, by now they should have stepped in to do something.

His head and heart felt heavy with everything he had seen and the burden of bearing it all. Alec reached Mount Inferno Vertex half a day early, he set up camp about a mile and a half away from the volcanic mountain, after a quick supper of bread, rabbit and an apple… Alec started to feel the pressure of meeting with the great beast queen, laying on the ground next to the fire, he went over the important points that he would bring up in his audience with the great queen Nuri. Just the thought of speaking to the mighty beast made him nervous in every way possible. The queen although kind and gentle, she could be as fierce as the fires she controlled, not to mention that she was about a hundred and fifty feet tall, give or take; he had to find the right words and have the right tone to address the situation with her and if she understood, then she would call a meeting with the other archdragons and the sorcerer and sorceresses of the other villages.

“All will go well”

Alec thought to himself, and with that thought in his mind he fell asleep under the glittering stars. By first light, Alec was up, his words were a scramble in his brain. He sat on a log and faced Mount Inferno Vertex; munching on an apple and a few sun sweet berries. The day had arrived, he would have to face the beast queen… Mounting his horse he rode for the next mile, he could feel the heat radiating from the volcano. He got off his stallion and set the black beauty free. Venturing into the volcanic mountain, he wandered through the cave that was dimly lit by the sparks of fire left from the lava, all the while going over the speech he had prepared in his mind. He came to a double maple wood door white brass mounted dragon heads for handles. Pulling the doors open, he was surprised to see the that interior was cool and well decorated; it felt like he had stepped into the house of a human queen.

    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

    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

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

It was a glorious mansion on top of a hill that had a beautiful view of the ocean in the distance and green forest below. Alluvium landed and changed into his human form, he was tall with huge muscles, his eyes were as green as the leaves on trees, he had medium length hair that was sand blonde, his pecks popped and abs carved. He was the man you see and instantly, clothes off, his mischievous smile would make you want to sin, those full lips that were just irresistible, but Alluvium had a temper and today he was close to blowing a fuse. As he landed one of human maids that he had employed and held captive came running to him with a glass of red merlot wine, he took a sip and casually walked past the trembling girl up to his study. He stood against the fire mantle, how dare she show up with him at the meeting… who the hell did he think he was. Nuri was once mine; he threw the wi

Quickly wiping away the tears and putting a brave face, this made Winstrain smile, she was adorable. “I know you’re there, show yourself” Winstrain, slowly emerged from behind the thicket, his pompadour hair neatly set, his hair as white as the clouds and olive toned skin, wearing a white shirt and black pants with laced up boots, he held his hands up. “Forgive me my lady” He bowed slowly, lifting his head slightly to see the beauty that stands before him, her soft cream skin, her gemstone green eyes, her thick strawberry blonde hair that highlig

He looked at Nuri and she giggled“This is Winstrain, the air archdragon.”“Winstrain, you remember Alec?”“Yes, ofcourse. Good to see you again and might I say; under less hostile circumstances”“Indeed it is”Alec spoke and the trio chuckled and walked into the lounge. Nuri sat next to Alec and Winstrain across them.

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.”

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,

    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.

    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

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.

    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

    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.
