The Original Dracia Finds Her Flame

Chapter 8 - It All Comes Together

*The moon goddess*

After awakening my original creation I returned to my realm exhausted and awaited word from Hecate. If all was going according to plan, Drexyl should be awake by now and soon enough all of my hard work will bare fruit. All the damage that the Match Maker and that damned Sky God has done will finally be reversed and my children will no longer live in fear or pain. I shook my head of those thoughts as they would only make me more upset and tired than I already was.

I looked around my realm and smiled as I watched the souls of my children play and gallop through the silver meadows and nearby stream. A few wolves bound up to me and nuzzled my hands more than likely sensing my distress. I scratched their heads and smiled down at them “I’m just a little tired my dears go play with your friends.” They gave me a few licks before bounding off and rejoining their pack. I fell backwards into the soft grass and opted to get some rest, I have the feeling that I’ll need it.

*Saphira*

I woke up with a start as I felt a presence getting closer to me. I opened my eyes slightly looking for any sign of movement and saw an allicorn getting closer to me. With any luck this will be a celestial allicorn. It stopped a good distance away as I raised my head and made eye contact with it. It kneeled and spread its wings open asking to come closer. I nodded my head “you can come here, what is your name?” It’s horn shone and I heard a light and airy voice ring out in my head “My name is Modeus, my herd is passing by and I wanted to know if it was ok to rest here for awhile.” I can’t pass up an opportunity as good this one. “That is fine, after all I bare no stake on this land. I would like to meet your herd though if you don’t mind.” He turned around and began walking further into the trees I followed keeping extra care not to step on his tail that dragged behind him.

As we came to clearing I was amazed at what I saw, I expected there to be maybe 4 or 5 of his kind max but there were dozens. All at what appeared to be different ages and there was enough of them to fill up the entire clearing. As I stepped away from the tree cover the entire herd kneeled just like Modeus did when he first approached me. I nodded my head at all of them and they all began to get up I turned to Modeus “How did all of you get here?” He huffed as his horn lit up once again “Unfortunately there probably isn’t much of my kind left in our home realm. Humans found out that we can’t defend ourselves at night and decided to start poaching us for our feathers and horns. We gain power with contact through the sun so we’re defenseless at night.” I swung my head to look at all the creatures in front of me “But… there’s fouls in your heard, and elders, gods did those humans spare no one?”

As we were communicating a group of fouls followed by a few of the older members came up to us. I smiled down at the children and stooped to their level. I didn’t like what I saw. These babies were scrawny and deathly looking and as I paid closer attention I could see that the whole herd looked to be in rough shape. I willed my scales to change color to a creamy white and felt feathers sprout from my wings and spine spikes. When I was done the clearing we were in lit up as the allicorns drank up some of the light I was producing. Some of their feathers looked brighter and the fouls seemed a little happier. Modeus looked up at me “Thank you ancient one, my herd has been quite tired from traveling. We’ve been trying to find a clearing large enough for all of us but didn’t have the strength to fly. We haven’t had much contact with the light because of the tree cover.”

I smiled at the group and willed a light beam to build up in my maw. Once it was ready I breathed out and watched it spill upon the herd as I moved my head to make sure everyone got covered. Slowly some of the group started to take off and Modeus looked as if he were about to cry he turned to me “Is there anything I can help you with? Anything at all?” I turned to look at him “I’ll need to be summoning our mother the moon goddess soon… a lock of hair from your mane would be helpful.” He swung his horn around and separated a chunk of hair from the rest near the base of his neck. Taking extra care, I walked over and sliced the section off with one of my claws before he took off following after his herd. I roared my thanks and my goodbyes as I watched the last few allicorns fade into the distance. Well that’s one item down, only a few more to go. With that I took off and made my way towards the pack house in hopes of telling Lucian about my discoveries.

*Drexyl*

I took flight and left the pond that I’ve been resting at for awhile and continued my trip to Yggdrasil. After a few hours I could focus in on the tree and saw massive amounts of damage that had been done. At the base of the tree there was a massive crater as if something huge was unearthed. Faintly I could see what appeared to be two humans at the base of the tree. I decided to land and startled the two of them in the process. The male of the two looked up at me “Not another one… hello sir my name is Drake and this here is Lily” I narrowed my eyes at them as I picked up on their scent “My name is Drexyl, your a wolf aren’t you” the two looked at each other before responding “Yes we are, I am the Beta of the pack that’s not too far from here.” I swung my head down to get a closer look at the two wolves before me, that is until I smelled something that made my instincts go haywire. Before I knew what I was doing I began circling the Beta that called himself Drake trying to figure out what this foreign yet addictive scent was on him.

I felt my eyes turn to slits and my nostrils flared trying to find the origin of the smell that’s on him. At this point I was swinging my head around rapidly trying to pinpoint any direction that would bring me closer to this scent. Nothing else mattered, everything else was tuned out all my senses were focused on finding what this was. Finally my nose picked up a faint remnant of the smell being carried along the wind. Without a second thought I sprang into the air and strained my muscles to go as fast as they could to follow the scent before I lost it.

*Drake*

I sighed in partial relief and sadness once I saw Lily’s form flicker into existence near the base of the tree. I quickly ran over to her with some clothes, once I got close I slowed down and waited for her to recognize me. I saw tears spring into her eyes as she flung herself at me bawling. I waited for her to calm down before I handed her the clothes and waited for her to put them on. Once she was comfy she turned to me “Not that I’m not happy to see you but where’s Blade? I’ve missed him so much.” I chuckled dryly “He’s currently doped up on sleeping meds. He uh… he could feel you dying and it was driving him crazy.”

I was cut off as I heard wing beats and saw a big ass dragon about the size of Saphira land in front of us. He asked me and Lily a few questions before he went crazy and started circling and sniffing me. I quickly pushed Lily out of the way as I was actively trying not to piss my pants before he turned his head towards the direction of the pack house. One second he was on the ground and the next second he hurling towards the pack house at full speed. s**t s**t s**t I rammed through Lucians mind block “LUCIAN WE GOT A BIG ASS BLACK DRAGON COMING FOR THE PACK HOUSE ARM THE WARRIORS STAT” I felt my message go through before I shifted and told Lily to hop on. Hopefully Saphiras around because I don’t think us wolves can take that thing on.

“Saphira”

When I got back to the pack house everything was in total discord pups and elders were being led underground and warriors were either shifting or arming themselves. I quickly shifted myself and sniffed out Lucian in the crowd, I ran up to him “what in the hell is going on?” He turned away from a warrior “I got a mindlink from Drake that there’s and I quote a big ass black dragon heading this way that I’m assuming is showing signs of aggression.” I summon up all my withheld irritation from the past couple of days and growl whilst letting my Dracia aura poor out to get everyone’s attention. In a matter of seconds all the commotion dies down and all eyes are on me.

“Anyone who can fit under ground needs to go there, I want 10 warriors on either side of the pack house with 5 in the surrounding trees. I’ll stay in front of the pack house shifted and ready to receive the threat head on. All of you stay out of the way unless I say other wise. I don’t know where your souls go if you die here and I don’t want to find out!” Everyone turned to look at Lucian and he nodded his head yes, the wolves howled as they took their positions and I shifted getting ready to face whatever was about to come at me.

*Drexyl*

I was flying faster than I had ever flown before in this form. As I sped through the top of the trees I noticed a large mansion coming into view and what stood in front of it in a protective stance was the most beautiful she-dragon I had ever seen. However, she didn’t seem as happy to see me as I was to see her. She let out a thunderous roar that made my heart and my wings skip a beat. I let out a startled screech as my brain miscommunicated with my wings and they resumed beating but out of sink.

I didn’t have enough time to correct my movements before I started tumbling out of control. She let out the cutest squeak I’ve ever heard right before all of my body weight crashed into her and we went into a tumbling crash through the massive house she was standing in front of. The entire time my limbs were flailing in all different directions and I tried my best to grab a hold of the she dragon and take most of the fall. After we flipped about 4 or 5 times we finally landed and I had her pinned and secured.

There was only a split second delay before she started growling and thrashing and my Draco’s blood didn’t take to kindly to that, I let out a warning growl and that only seemed to piss her off more. She started going for my neck so I pressed my nose into hers and noticed that she was giving off the amazing scent I smelled earlier, all I could do was hope that I smelled as good to her as she does to me so that hopefully she’ll try to stop killing me. She managed to pry one of her back legs loose and claw my stomach which made me whimper. As soon as I did she froze. I lifted up my head and came face to face with the most mesmerizing pair of eyes I’ve ever seen. I saw her nostrils flare as she finally started to get a good smell of me.

Well hopefully this is the right call, I got up off of her and gave her space to get up. Once she did she walked over to me and began circling me in the same way I did that wolf from earlier, whatever his name was. I stood there awkwardly as I fought an internal battle between me and my p***s that was obviously VERY attracted to this female. Good gods this is not the time for this.

*Saphira*

The last thing I expected my warning roar to do was knock this massive dragon off course as it was barreling towards me but oh well, mistakes we made and now my whole body hurts. I let out a squeak before they rammed into me at full speed and sent the both of us through the pack house and into a tumble. The dust settled and the dragon was on top of me. This is at the same time I’m noticing that they’re a he. I felt something warm fall onto my tummy He’s not about too… oh hell no. I start thrashing immediately trying to find any sort of wiggle room or exit point to get this big oaf off of me. I will not be taken advantage of and it sure as hell won’t be in front of a bunch of wolves. I go for his neck since he forgot to restrain my head until he noticed and decided to shove his fat snout into my neck, right in the spot that flames are supposed to mark each other.

This induces more panic in me as I finally get a foot free and rake my claws down his belly. However, I hear him whimper in pain and the whole world stops. I feel like I just did something terrible and all my attention is on him but in a different way. After a few seconds I lean my nose closer to him and take a deep breath. I’m rewarded with the best smell I’ve ever experienced in my life and I’m instantly addicted to it. After I give him a few sniffs he starts to ease himself off of me and back away a few steps. I instantly feel cold and incomplete. I recompose myself and get closer to him and circle around him taking in his appearance and noting that he seems to be in deep concentration. I take that opportunity to touch my snout to his and I feel a warmth that spreads tingles and comfort throughout my whole body. This is my flame, and to think I was trying to kill him.

*Drexyl*

I was fighting with my member to keep it in check when I suddenly feel something warm and tingly touching my snout. I focus and realize that it’s the she-dragon. Well at least she’s not trying to kill me and maybe this means she feels the connection too. She pulls away and I instantly feel cold I clear my throat “My names Drexyl” she c***s her head at me and I feel my stomach do a flip “My names Saphira.” Her voice rings out and it’s smooth and buttery. She has unmatched grace and beauty and I’m fighting for my life to not let my member out of its sheath and embarrass myself. I’m a Draco for the gods sake I should have more control than this. I felt her snout on mine again as I snap back to reality “There you are, what are so focused on that’s got you distracted from me?” Ah s**t there he goes again. I immediately sit on my back legs and move my front paws and tail to where hopefully, they’re blocking my crotch area.

*Saphira*

As he suddenly sits down and moves his tail and paws to get comfy I catch a glimpse of what he’s trying to hide. It’s times like these that I’m glad I have scales as I feel my face heat up and begin to stutter. “U- uh I-it’s ok n-nothing to be ashamed of I-in fact I’m sure some g-guys would k-kill to have one that b-big. Wait no that came out wrong I-“ his head snaps up and his eyes go wide. “Oh jeez this has not gone well um ok uhhhh” I literally have the power to hold my own against the gods and here I am rambling like an i***t to my flame of all creatures. “Ok uh a question yeah, do you know what I am to you?” Phew stopped the verbal vomit. Before he could answer however, his eyes narrow to slits and he whips around growling at a group of wolves approaching us being led by Fennris/Lucian.

“Don’t come over here! I’m fine! I’ll have to explain later!” Fennris perks his ears at me “You sure? You took a nasty tackle from a dragon that’s slightly bigger than you? And he doesn’t seem to be very friendly?” I try stepping up to them and Drexyl blocks my way still growling at the group and taking a protective stance. s**t I don’t need him attacking them “He’s what you would call my mate!” Did I just blurt that out loud? There was a pause before Fennris and the other wolves start howling with wolfish laughter and Drexyl looks at me really confused. Fennris partly regains his composure “So you do have a mate huh. So much for you thinking that Mom forgot about you” and with that the group turned around and ran away.

I can’t take this anymore, this is too much to process and there’s too much going on. I turn around and take off which required a lot of effort because I’m pretty sure my wing got landed on during the crash and it hurts really bad. I go back to the tree that I made a bed at the previous night. Once I get there and land I hide my face in shame and start licking the cuts and scratches I got from a combination of wood from the destroyed pack house, Drexyl’s claws and the ground we repeatedly rammed into. This has got to be the most embarrassing thing that happened to me since I was a hatchling.
