Dragons Sanctuary

Changing bond

Rosilia POV

After asking Falner, "What is a mate?", "A mate is your soulmate. When they need you most, they will show up in your life. " "And what if I'm more dragon than human, will I too have a mate?" "Most likely, but due to your dragon blood and only having some in you. You might be a little different, so you may need a guide." As he stood towards his office door and leading the way back to the corridor. "Tell me, Rosilia, do you feel your soul pulling you somewhere within this hatchery?" His voice a little deep then normal. "Close your eyes and see if you feel a pull."

Closing my eyes, I focused on something small like a pin of warmth and with the pull I followed it. My legs are slowly taking the lead ahead of me. Following this warmth, I feel it getting closer. I take a right, feeling with my hands while the pull of this feeling draws me closer. Not knowing where or how long my eyes have been closed, this feeling is starting to get bigger the closer I walk down the hallway. I started to feel the pin grow into a pebble, then a golf ball grew and slowly consumed my whole being as I stopped in front of a door and opened it. Carefully walk past everything and not bump into anything down the aisle. The feeling starts to get so intense and then I open my eyes. This glowing deep ocean blue egg with white and gold lines climbing and crawling all over the egg as if lightning had struck the world, shocking its existence. Looking closely, I noticed black and purple dots at the bottom of the egg. This feeling of touching and caring for this egg was like none other I'd ever experienced. Reaching out to touch, it was glowing brighter and brighter. When my fingers just about grazed the egg, I heard a whisper, 'Hello mummy.' Stunned by the beauty, I never realized the burning sensation in the center of my back. "Hello little one." I whispered. Unknowing what had just happened, Falner walked through the door with stunned eyes as he looked at me. "You touched it." He all but whispered to himself. Looking at him and then the egg with this overwhelming feeling to keep this egg safe. "Falner, was I not supposed to touch it?" "Well." He walked over and saw the look in my eyes and just sighed. "Okay. go ahead and gently pick it up and pull it to your chest." He instructs while hearing another tiny whisper, ''mummy, will you keep us safe?" "always." I reply to the egg. Falner looks confused after noticing. "Bring the egg upstairs. I'll meet you at the door." He says, wrapping a silk scarf around the egg over my shoulder and under my arm to secure the egg. "Now that you have bonded with the baby inside you cannot leave it till it hatches. "Them" I reply instantly. He raises a brow with a stern yet confused face. "I hear them," I say while holding the egg close to my being. "Twins, this is unheard of. Rosilia tell no one about this. No one has ever bonded to more than one dragon before." Confused, he takes her out of the room and upstairs to his office entrance to the circle."I'll be right there do not leave. Not without me." He says more sternly. Standing on the circle, I nod as he waves his hand and the circle starts to float up the room to the main floor. While watching, Falner walked back to his office at a quick pace. I wonder what he means don't leave without him seeing me off. I just want to keep these children safe and never leave their side. The egg reminds me of his eyes..Those deep blue eyes. As the circle stops and I'm on the main floor, I start to walk towards the door. This cold feeling inside shows itself and not gently either, as a painful scream escapes from my lips. "AHHHHH!!!!" With the scream and falling to my knees and clinging to the egg to make sure it doesn't get hurt. Panting and sweat starting to grow more. "ROSILIA!" Falner runs to me. Eyes widen with shock. " Something is wrong! Take the egg." I screamed while he took them from my grasp, panting and breathing harder. Everything starts to grow darker in my vision, but I feel this piercing anger and pain inside my soul. "We have to get her out of the hatchery!" Falner orders two of the guards. As one starts to lift me up, the other opens the main entrance as we just barely make it outside. 'MUMMY! DON"T LEAVE US!' I heard the cries from the egg. "NEVER!" I growled. Jumping out of the guard's arms. The burning anger, this burning sensation in my back and soul. "HURRY! GET HER TIED UP BEFORE SHE CHANGES! SHE'LL TAKE THE TOWN OUT!" Falner is behind us. About to fight the guard to run to Falner and rip my egg from his grasp. A scream escapes while hearing my bones snap, and break while growing bigger. As the guards drag me to the training area, the closest open area, while growing the scream turns deeper and into a roaring growl. Closing my eyes and reopening them, everything was smaller but the anger had dissipated. Unsure of why I was so big, I looked at Falner and the two guards. They're eyes widen besides Falner. "This is incredible, Rosilia," he says. Falner. 'What in the world just happened?' "You changed into a huge dragon. Knowing your dragon blood and then bonding with a hatchling could have triggered it." He says, looking at me. Looking around my body and seeing how everyone is at work or at school now. No one knows about this unless they can see me. "Maybe you should find Alderon. He could explain this to you." Falner says "BUT! Turn back to your human side," he says. He has a lot of explaining. Then I thought to myself. 'How?' "Think of your human form and focus on your body." He said, closing my eyes. I focus on my body. My red hair and my tanned skin, the yellow and green eyes. I feel myself shrinking and becoming smaller. I opened my eyes and looked down and noticed my clothes ripped on the ground. I squeak when I realize I'm naked. Covering myself with my hands, looking at the guards awkwardly. "Heh, sorry guys didn't mean for a show and all." I said, trying not to feel embarrassed. One of the guards hands me his cloak to cover myself for a while. Smile feeling a little weird, I tied the cloak around as a dress and walked back to Falner. " I'm going to take the egg home if that's okay with you now that I've been embarrassed enough for one day." I said while taking them back and tying the fabric around myself once again. I started my way home.

Dractavious POV

20 years old

Following my master and walking into the forest. With our cloaks, walking through the dark forest, but as we walked into the night. I saw glowing bugs and mushrooms on the trees, the grass swaying in the breeze. While everything seems to stop in time and its beauty just shines in the night as everything becomes clearer. This feeling of someone watching approaches me, as a feeling of warmth and care inside shines brightly. "Hurry up boy." My master starts telling me. I started to walk faster towards the edge of the clearing, towards my master. As soon I reached the forest again, I felt a scratch against my arm. While a quiet scream in the night saying "Nooooo!", turning around and releasing the darkness of my own with a slight anger ripping through me as I saw archers. From the south, I let the darkness consume them, hearing them choke and die quickly, not to alert anyone else.

Walking back to my master's side, "Hurry you mutt before we're caught for good." He says coldly towards me as I just nod my head at him. Sneeking into the caverns wasn't hard to do. Walking through the caverns to one part was where all the special gems were grown and created. Walking into the cave, yellow, green, red were glowing and some brighter than others. They reminded me of the stars in the night sky. Approaching the end of it was an opening for at least one person to squeeze through and wasn't yet discovered. Following my master into the tiny room, it reminded me of when they first took my mother and my clutch.

*Flash back*

Feeling the warmth and my mother's humming while keeping me warm inside my egg. 'Mama thank you for always being here.' 'You never have to worry my little Dracus, I'll always keep you safe.' Hearing those words made me feel even more relaxed and happy. I wiggled a little so she could feel me. But then, her warmth was cold and I couldn't feel her wrapped around me. 'Mama I'm cold.' thinking to her through the link. I heard a loud growl close to my egg. Then loud bangs and more growls. Scared and just wanting my mother when I felt another presence picking up my egg and shaking me. 'MAMA! WHERE ARE YOU !' scared she was gone and wiggled as much as I could so they would drop me. But they never did. "HURRY! Before the father dragon gets back and hunts us down!" A deep voice spoke. After a little while of shaking and lots of bumps, I stopped moving. Confused and afraid. 'Mama.' I whimper. *End Flash Back*

The unsure feeling of what's going to happen in this tiny cave while squeezing the rest of my thigh in. Turning and seeing bright blue stones glowing. It was a stunning sight and the gut feeling of taking a stone felt wrong, from this place, as if a sin. "Over here, watch the entrance mutt." Master says cruelly,, While turning most of the way around still being able to see him and the entrance, I leaned against the wall of the cave. Watching him take tiny blue stones along with some purple. Still glowing into his gem bag. "Almost there you stuck, little jewel." He smiles a creepy and unusual grin. Touching the wall, I felt a warm feeling under my fingers touching a blue gem that fell into the palm of my hand the size of a golf ball. My eyes widened, realizing it practically fell off of the wall. Stuffing it into my pocket before my master sees it. "Time to go mutt, move it, your first." He says as an order. Irritated, I squeezed back out of the small cave wall. Sneeking back out of the cave was perfectly quiet, reminding me of that beautiful voice. Too bad she screamed 'noo'. I wonder if she's as beautiful as she sounds. Walking past the forest behind Master and reaching the portal we traveled through. "Hurry, mutt I have better things to do than wait for your slow pace." Looking behind at the beautiful forest and sighing. " I'm coming Sir." Stepping into the portal and traveling far from the forest of beauty.

Rosilia POV

Walking back home and into the castle, going through the servants' quarters and through the secret passages into the right hall and head into the closet of my room. "Finally.". Setting the egg in a pile of my clothes, I reached for a pair of pj shorts and a tank top. Changing into a huge dragon was tiring. While I felt drained, I knew I wasn't yet done for the day. Looking into the full-length mirror, I noticed I looked more muscular and had something on my back, so I grabbed my other full-length mirror and placed it in front at an angle to see my back. A symbol on the top of my spine appeared to be some sort of dragon in a spiral with dark blue wings and bright blue tips with a medium blue body, while a second one had appeared underneath it with a purple dragon and black wings with white tips. They're beautiful and mystical. While picking up the egg and walking to her bed, I lay it in the center of the bed and curled up beside it while warming myself under a blanket. 'Mummy? Are you there?' the little voice gently asked in wonder. 'Yes I'm here.' I thought through this newly found bond. 'Can you sing to us?' A different voice asked. 'I can't sing well but is humming okay?' 'That's okay.' 'Can I ask what your names are?' 'I'm Serena.' The soft voice says 'I'm Serene, our original mummy called us these before she disappeared.' Oh that's awful. They thought their mom had abandoned them. 'Will you ever leave us?' Serena asked 'Not by choice my sweet.' I cooed through the link. 'Promise?' They asked in unison 'Always.'
