Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Traverse in Trance
Another week passes by and Hafgan has been testing my patience lately. This time, he took over while Max was at work and I got a phone call asking if he had come home or if there was a family issue. I almost had a heart attack, wondering what might have happened to him. I don’t know what Hafgan has been planning, but finding him wandering lost in the city made me realise he hasn’t got a clue where he is, even if he has control of Max’s body. Memories are hard things to see, even if you are the owner of such memories. I feel sorry for Max. Every time he wakes up, he is somewhere different. At home, these things are slight and can be brushed off, but this time? It is harder to pretend nothing is wrong. Even now, I can’t explain why he is here so far from where he was when he last had control of his body. As we walk back to the apartment in silence, I ring his workplace, explaining Max feels unwell, and that he’ll take the rest of the day off. He remains silent behind me. Whatever he
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Just Us
While I’m not sure what has gotten into Max lately, I can’t say I am disappointed with his request to have sex with me. The only thing I worry about is Hafgan interrupting us during it. That would be the worst timing for me. Though I don’t think he wants to get involved in such acts, so perhaps he’ll stay quiet.Max looks anxious as he slides my shirt off. I’m not sure if he wants to go through with this, or if he is forcing himself. I look aside for a moment to think things through, before asking, “are you sure you’re ready for this? We don’t have to if you’re not ready?”“Even if you really want to?” Max asks, looking me in the eye.I nod my head slowly. “Even if I really want to, I’ll never force you into something you do not want or are not ready for, so,” I say, but before I can finish my words, his lips find mine.Leaning into his kiss, I can’t help but p
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Fourth times the Charm
It was no joke thinking Max would want me to go faster, but harder and more than once, too? I lay on my back, completely spent. I’ve never gone more than once with someone before now. Something like this is beyond my expectations, especially for a mortal.“I… didn’t know sex felt so good,” Max sighs happily next to me. He is curled up, clinging to me, but even his icy touch isn’t helping keep me cool.Glancing at him, I can’t help but smile. He stopped being so hesitant as soon as he accepted everything. I probably created a monster, but a monster I’ll enjoy until I am forced to return home. I just hope I can save him from Hafgan sooner rather than later.Rubbing the back of his head with my hand, I chuckle softly. “Sex feels good for all involved, and with me, it’ll never hurt. You can be as wild as your heart desires,” I reply, trying to tease him.Despite the flush that spreads over his
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Results Vary
When morning finally came and the two of us had bathed, and, of course, had more personal time in there, we were ready for our battle. I was sure this would fix everything and we could finally go back to our everyday lives. “I’d ask you to go easy on me… but then it wouldn’t be an actual battle, would it?” Max asked with a sigh. I shook my head. “Unfortunately,” I replied. I could only give him a sympathetic look. “With luck, Hafgan will switch over, as he hates to lose and losing even with you in control means he has to do as I command. Either way, I’ll save you from his control and we can put things right.” Max chewed his lower lip anxiously. I wasn’t sure what was on his mind, but it was clear something was bothering him. “Let’s get this over with,” he sighed, looking away from me. It was almost as though he didn’t want to go through with this, but I couldn’t imagine why not. Having another soul take over your body and mind is never a comfortable e
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Author's Note: Mini Hiatus
I hate to do this to my readers, but I am going on a short hiatus. If I write at all, I may not post it just so I end up with a backlog. I have lost all of my motivation lately, and can't bring the words out no matter how hard I try. TT-TT I am deeply sorry for any inconvenience and I promise I'll continue the story as soon as I can! I hope things will go back to normal for me soon, but I need to take a break, I hope you understand and thank you for your patience. All my thanks, Yukiro!
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Head North
We spend the day packing everything so that we can travel in comfort. I wanted to fly there, but Max wasn’t sure if he could handle riding in my hands for such a long journey. He also complained about the risk of getting caught in the air by aeroplanes and helicopters. It would look really strange for some random human to be flying in the air, no matter which way we sliced it.Although I have already flown around many times before, I realised we didn’t have any other choice. Though I guess he had a point. I can’t hide his presence in the air in the same way I can hide myself, so it was on the ground we had to go.It would take us about 50 hours if we walked the whole way, but I couldn’t risk catching the bus or train and having Hafgan suddenly take over. That wasn’t ideal either.Max suggested we could ride a bike there, which could cut the time down to 16 hours, breaks not included. That wasn’t a terrible option, but the ling
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Destination Hotel
As soon as we arrive at the hotel, it comes as a relief to me that we're not too late. We’ve certainly cut it rather close though, but thankfully Max realised he did not want to sleep on the streets tonight.The hotel room is fancier than I expected, but it is still a far cry from what a God should live in. Still, I will make do with such humble accommodations. Besides, the bed is much bigger than his and that means we can enjoy ourselves a whole lot more. And in more ways than one.“Stop thinking dirty thoughts,” Max scolds me as he puts our backpacks down on the stand.I smirk but hold up my hands innocently. “I cannot stop. Stopping would require me to not want to see your blissful face again, and that is an impossible request to ask of me.”“Ugh, so cheesy,” Max complains at my flirting, but he can’t deny that my lines made him blush. “This isn’t a vacation… you realise that?” He
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Moment Thought
I let Max head back to our room first, allowing myself a quiet moment to think over my thoughts and emotions. I need to figure out what is going on in my mind and heart before I do something foolish and reckless.One thing I know for sure is that I can’t bring the living back to Annwn. However, the desire to make Max mine keeps growing stronger. I don’t quite understand why, though? Indeed, a bit of fun is one thing, but to make him mine is another matter entirely.I lean against the wall of the hotel and glance up at what little of the stars these modern cities allow through their bright lights. So much on Earth has changed; it isn’t just the land and its people.No dragons soar these skies anymore, no magic flows through the lands. Sure, the Ancient Ones are still here, as are the werewolves, but the spirits and Gods are silent.With a gentle breath in and out, I close my eyes and recall what the skies once looked like and the sounds t

Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride The Last Chapter
With lips interlocked, I felt Max’s legs lock around my hips as I slammed hard into him again and again. Last night’s round hadn’t been enough for him, and I was happy to oblige his mood for more. With his stamina, I knew he wouldn’t settle down until I had completely satisfied him. Another moan escaped from his mouth into mine as I felt his fingers tighten in my hair. He was near the edge of his limits again, and so was I. With a few more thrusts deep inside of Max, I felt him tense around my shaft for a moment before a louder moan escaped from him. With his panting and the warmness now against my skin, I knew he had cum. I offered him one more kiss, which he greedily accepted. With him completely in the moment, I thrust in and out of him a few more times before finding my successive release. As I rolled onto my side, I closed my eyes and breathed in heavily. I was exhausted, and all I could wonder was how did Max have so much stamina? I soon felt a warm and cold tingle against my
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Honeymoon Bonding Ritual
Gazing around the hotel, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat nostalgic about being back in the mortal world. We only had the weekend before our time ran out. There were too many royal duties to take care of, and for only so long, I could leave Harri in charge. Though he wasn’t entirely alone. My father had agreed to act as his advisor.While he wasn’t sure about Harri, he saw no reason to spark up the old rivalry he and Hafgan had once shared. He merely felt it was best to make sure Harri had someone to help him if he needed it.“Are you thinking about home again?” Max said, catching me in my thoughts and calling me out on them. He smirked and shook his head. “They’ll be fine,” he added and ushered me further into the hotel.The mortal realm seemed no different. The slight imbalance had done no lasting damage to how things worked. In fact, the humans had not even noticed any differences, and still did not know about the supernatural beings that shared their space.It was so safe that I
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Wedding befitting Royalty
As I wait at the royal altar, I gaze over at all the different people standing at the pews. Although I would have not minded making this a small wedding, my father and mother both handled everything. From the location, to how close to old customs we went and to the dress code.To my surprise, even the phoenixes had come to see me marry Max. Thankfully, nothing had gone haywire between our three groups and we were now on decent terms. I wouldn’t say we were friendly, exactly, but everyone was slowly coming around.Harri stood next to me. He looked more nervous than I was, yet I was the one being married. Anything could happen, or could go wrong, someone might have an objection to the union, or someone might try assassinating someone. There were so many variables that could go wrong.As the organs started playing, my heart pounded rapidly against my chest. This was actually it. I had waited so long for this moment, and now it was here.There have been times I thought I would never get m
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Royal Discussion
I never thought this day would come. I could feel the wave of emotions drown me as the tailor forced me to stand perfectly still while they dressed me for the occasion. All that was now left were the last few preparations, but it seemed like it was taking forever to get them all done.Harri was in the room with me so that the tailor could do the last few adjustments on his clothes, too. He was utterly silent, despite how joyous the occasion was. I tried to reach out to him through my mind, but he shut me out easily. Ever since he and Max had reached maturity, he had become much more standoffish with me.Once the tailor had finished, I ordered them out of the room so that I could speak with Harri privately. If he didn’t want to converse through our minds, then perhaps the issue was something that could only be handled with no one else around.I glanced at the door briefly. We had a little time before we needed to go, so if I was to find out what the issue was, then it had to be now. Tu
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Confessions
As soon as I stepped through the portal, I spotted Max being swarmed by those who had tried to help us before. I wasn’t sure how they would feel about Max being almost as old now as he had been when he had ‘died’. The last they had seen him, he was nothing but an egg. Yet time hadn’t been so long for them. Zach and Rem’s daughter was still relatively young in comparison. However, she was walking now, at least. She was bright-eyed and full of wonder and if I didn’t know any better, I wouldn’t have known she was a born Spirit. I wondered what her future would be, but with how safe things seemed, I was sure she had a bright life ahead of her. “I can’t believe how big he has gotten already,” Zach said as our group showed Max around various locations around Cardiff to see if any of them sparked any memories of his. “Loona has skyrocketed, but she is only slightly above human average,” he added as he pushed her along in the pram. She might have been old enough to walk, but
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Max and Harri
It had taken me most of the night to get the message across to the group I had planned to meet us. When I had finished, I went to bed, not knowing how long Max would give me before he decided he had waited long enough. I must have been in such a deep sleep when Max showed up, as I didn’t hear him enter my bedroom. It wasn’t until I heard some faint whispering in my ear that I knew anyone was there. My eyes snapped open while my body went into fight-or-flight mode. Had I not realised who it was, I know I would have lashed out. “S-sorry,” Max softly apologised. “I called your name outside several times, King Arwen, but you were still fast asleep.” With a long sigh, I shook my head. “It’s fine, just be careful, Max,” I replied and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. “It took a little while to get our guides to agree to our visit, so I was awake late.” Max nodded slowly. As I sat up in bed, he twisted around so that he couldn’t see my half-naked body. I rarely
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Growing Up
With time working differently here than on Earth, it felt like no time had passed at all since Max and Hafgan, who we had renamed Harri, had grown up. I had spent as much time with them as my duties had allowed, and trained them in the ways of dragon-kind, along with Healing-Frost. She had been a wonderful surrogate mother for the twins, and with her on my side, the other ice dragons seemed more at ease and followed her suggestions to work together towards peace. I couldn’t have asked for a better helper than her. Thankfully, Harri had never questioned his new name or brought up any memories from his past life as Hafgan. Both me and Healing-Frost had been keeping a close watch on him and his mind, just to be certain. I wasn’t sure if the phoenix had planned for the two souls to be split into twins, or for Harri to not have his memories, but I was thankful. Harri had his own body once more and had no drive to forcefully take the throne, and that was all that m
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride And it is...
A little over a month later…My feet pound on the stone floor as I make haste towards the hatchery. I can’t believe it is finally time. I thought the egg would never hatch, but now it was finally time. My days have been filled with wondering when this day would finally come.As I entered the hatchery, my feet skidded across the ground until I found my balance again. Most of our eggs have hatched now, but Max’s egg was finally ready. I stared at the door to the cold room. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I could handle what might be a disappointment if who hatched was not Max at all.Shaking my head, I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. I absolutely must find out who it was that had been reborn. So far, no one could sense the one inside of the egg. It was agony not knowing, but I busied myself with my duties.Opening the door, I felt the coldness hit me. It was like a freezer in here, and only Healing-Frost and the egg could ha
