Dragons Sanctuary

Cracked Tooth Mountain

Rosilia POV

The room was a warm color. Tan with red curtains, while looking at the shelves with a darkened stain, turning and looking at this big bed with a red pattern with black and yellow designs on it. I wonder where I am. Walking to the small window, it looked like I was in a tower, with how high the window is along with a city in the distance. Turning around, I saw two doors. Walking back towards where I was, the second one opens and the man I saw before walks out in only a towel. Blushing so intensely while looking at him. He's built like a god. He has deep black hair with curls, medium length hair. While drying his hair with a spare towel, his eyes looked like sapphires with the water slowly going down his hard carved muscles and his chest was like rain dripping down his firm abs. As my eyes slowly looked down his body, I couldn't help but stare at his perfect jawline with stubble. Watching this man, I didn't realize the way he stopped drying his hair looked straight at me as if he could see me too. Gulping, I hope to god he can't see me. "Who are you?" He asks, staring into my eyes. My jaw opened slightly. "You can see me?" I asked in a whisper. "Very," His eyes looked at my lips. My stomach flipped in excitement as he looked at me up and down. "Well, where are we?" seeing if I could get information, but my body was acting on its own. Walking towards the window and looking at the city in the distance. "Hmm, seeing your in my room. I ask the questions first. How did you get in here if you didn't know where you were? " Thinking about how to answer. I replied "I went to sleep next to my egg and now I'm here." Not telling him that I had seen him the other night. "I'm Rosilia, to answer your first question." He sits on the bed with only a towel and has an eyebrow lifted. "Dracus, I feel I've met you somewhere before." Facing him he leans back into his bed. It's only a dream, right? What could go wrong? Walking towards him. His deep eyes slightly glowed into a purple color. Desire of just feeling his touch and his handsome built face. Slowly approaching his hard body, I gently touched his cheek, as if sparks and this hot warmth, more than the motherly one for the egg, but with lust and pure want and need for each other courses through us. He grabs my hand and pulls me against his hardened chest. "Mate," he whispered. In my soul it felt complete with him there, never wanting to let go. I started to kiss him gently as he flipped me under him. He gently grabbed my hips as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He deepened the kiss by using his tongue to ask for more access. The deeper the kiss, the more I craved and wanted more. Pulling away for air, we stared into each other's eyes. "Your beautiful Rosilia." "Dracus." I whispered "If we're going too fast it's fine, we can stop." He looks at me with concern. I feel something pulling me away. "Dracus, I feel this pull to go...I want to stay." "Come back tomorrow night. I'll try an be here." He says deseperatly. "I'll try. Maybe I'll find you in person soon." He smiles with loving eyes. As his face slowly fades, the sun shines into my room and I feel pain and sadness. No.. I didn't want to leave him. Groaning in annoyance. "Good morning Rosilia," Agithal said. "What do you want first thing in the morning?" I said, getting out of bed. "Oh nothing, I brought breakfast for you waffles, your favorite. The baker even dropped off your favorite danishes." She says sweetly. She's being too nice. What did she do to my food? "Thanks but no thanks, I'll get my own food." I said with disgust, stunning her in the process.

Walking into my closet, I throw on a quick outfit. A tank top and jeans with a pair of boots, realizing I had killed my favorite pair. Walking back into the room, I saw Agithal near my egg wanting to touch it. "Touch it I will personally break every finger and laugh." She looks at me confused. "You would do it over someone touching it?!" "Yes, but I would most likely cut your fingers off, Due to not liking you." I say bluntly "Oh" she backs off with the smell of fear on her. "Once I rule you won't be in my Castle." I say with a smile. "Now get out of my room." She looks as if she's going to cry and be fragile. Not my problem. "Good morning darlings." I hummed to them. "Good morning mummy!" They said in unison. "I'm going to take you everywhere with me today, okay?" "Okay, but please make sure it's warm. We get cold easily." Understanding the assignment, I grabbed a thick scarf and opened it up. Wrapping it around the egg and tying it to me was easy. Hearing my door open and close, my father walked in. "Hey dad, everything okay? You have the look of worry on your face." Saying that he looks at me. "You can't leave the castle till the egg hatches. Otherwise you will try and kill anyone who touches it." "I would never. I may have recently found out I can transform into a dragon dad, but I'm no murderer." I said with a slight smile. His face of shock meant Falner hadn't told him yet. "Transform?" He said quietly. "Yes, I was going to speak to Alderon, a little bit."I said bluntly. "Also, what happened to Agithal you scared her to pieces."He said sternly. "I will never allow her to touch my egg. Even when I come to power I will fire her." "Why do you not like her? She's a sweet girl. She's your sister's friend. " "Friend or not, I know she is up to no good." I said, picking up the tray of food she had brought up and throwing it out. "Please inform the staff I'll get my own food instead of it being sent up." Pinching the brow of his nose he sighs. "Fine. You win but she'll be placed in a part of the castle, so you don't harm her." He said, walking out of the office. "Finally!" I said happily.

A feeling of relief comes to mind as I walk to the kitchen with my egg and my hand underneath to support it while walking. Entering the kitchen, I saw the chef. "Oh! Rosi, what can I help you with today?" "Did Agithal get food from you today?" "I don't believe so dearest." He says with a confused look. "Oh okay don't worry about it. Can I have an apple-packed lunch and possibly a breakfast sandwich?" I said, smiling. "Any time, Rosi. You always help me when you have a spare minute, so I'll whip it up in a few minutes, OK?" "Sounds great to me. But don't let Agithal touch it." "Deal." We said, giggling. He doesn't like her either. He said she always flakes out at her work and makes others do it due to being my servant when I don't let her touch anything of mine due to not liking her. After about 5 minutes, he had the food ready. "Here you go hun, have a great day!" "You too! Oh! I dropped off your books you asked me to do the other day. Also Miss. Halen has a thing for you," I said, winking at him. He instantly blushes. For an older man to still blush was quite funny. "Really? I may have to see if she'd like to go out for a picnic sometime." waving him off, I giggled to myself. "I like him!" Serena said "He was funny!" Serene said. "That was our chef. he loves all sorts of animals and has a crush on the bakers sister." I giggled "OH! That will be cute soon! I bet he's handsome and kind too. No woman could resist that charm!"Serene says "He can only try, my dear." "So where are we going?" Serena asks "Alderon's home. He's a dragon and is bonded to my dad. He could have the answers I'm looking for." I thought to them. Keeping them warm and snuggled into my chest, they were chatting and giggling like little girls do. While walking through the woods with my food in my satchel, I started my way towards Cracked Tooth mountain.

"Mummy?" "Hmm?What's up Serena?" I asked"Why is the mountain named cracked tooth?" Letting out a snort. I could feel confusion from them both. "Okay, my dad's in his younger days. He found a way to grow larger, since he bonded with Alderon and they could grow quite larger. But one day they were playing and my dad punched a little too hard at Alderon and," Stopping to laugh a little too hard, remembering my dad explaining it to me. "MUMMY!! Please finish!" Laughing and replying "Okay,okay, So when he hit too hard, Calderon slapped him with his tail and dad flew straight into the mountain cracking it." I finished laughing. "So he broke the mountain with his butt." "And The waterfall in the middle of the c***k is where my dad's face got stuck." Laughing so hard and walking down the path I spotted Alderon's wife at the entrance of there cave. As she slowly started to change into her human form, "ROSILIA! It's been too long since you've come over?!" She says with a beautiful dress on. A beautiful silky red and white dress. "Hi Ostia, Is Alderon home?" I asked, holding the egg with a loosened grip. I can trust her with anything she's saved my life before. *Flash Back* Walking with my dad at the age of 4 we were having a picnic by the coast by a cliff that was our favorite spot by the fishing village. Alderon and my father were talking and Ostia was talking with them while I started to follow a beautiful bright blue butterfly. "Pretty! I'm coming for you!" I giggled. Running after the tiny butterfly, not realizing I was close to the cliff. Giggling the while, I jumped for the butterfly but fell. Screaming, Ostia grabbed me and wrapped me in her giant dragon hand. Holding me close, she landed and transformed. "You will always be safe with me Little Flame." *End Flash Back* After then, dad didn't want me over near Alderon's feeling it was his fault for not keeping a better eye on me. Making his relationship with Alderon a little rocky at times due to their bond. I don't think mom ever understood. "Yes, he is excited that our hatchlings have arrived." She rolls her eyes but smiles brightly. "Come in. It gets chilly this time of year." She says, waving her hand at me. Walking into the cave, they had built a tin house on the side of the cave when they were younger so friends could stay or when they had eggs. Walking into the house, I saw a man in his mid 40's with dark black hair and those same green and yellow eyes we share. "Hi Alderon." I said almost in a whisper, as if remembering something about myself but unfamiliar about it. "Rosilia? You haven't visited in a long time." He says. "Yeah, I know dad would never let me. I have questions and I think you have the answers I need." I said with worry in my voice. Sitting in his chair with Ostia walking, into the other to soothe a child's cry. "Well, what questions can I help with?" He says to confused. "Well, has dad ever turned into a dragon after bonding with you?" Shocked at the question, "No absolutely not! Has he?" He says astonished. "No no not dad. Please let me finish before you ask " I say trying not to be weird. "You got this mummy." Serene says with confidence, trying to make me feel better. I gently rub my egg, looking down with a smile. "Has dad ever had visions of mom before they met?" Alderon smiles gently when I ask. "No but he saw you and your sister." He says Looking up confused. "What do you mean?" "He saw you and your sister when he was younger, He used to have tons of deja vu." He says bluntly. "Oh well.. umm. You think there's any of my siblings that could." "I don't think so." He said with a thinking look. "Oh boy okay." I said, trying to figure out what's happening to me. Without realizing how quiet I'd been, Alderon asks "Have you experienced anything of changing into a dragon? Is that why I asked?" Looking at him with a stunned face. "I will take that as a yes." He says and sighs. "If that's what you experienced, it would explain a lot." Looking at him, What's that supposed to mean?! " Before you ask, before your father, I gave him some of my blood to heal him from a extereme fall and when he wasn't healing I had to use our brother bond. I gave him a lot of my own for him to survive." Alderon explains. "So what does that mean about me?" I ask "I know your his daughter but with more of my DNA in you." It would explain my eyes and hair.... "But what about my hair color? It's red. No, I know has this hair color." I said, confused. Sighing, he says "I had this fear the day you were born. Because my mother had deep blood red hair, with your father having blonde hair it lightened the DNA." Shocked, speechless. So am I his daughter? Or do I have 3 parents? How does this work?? "I don't know how this works but all I know is you're special and we can't tell your father he'd feel like a sperm donor and I'd feel horrible." He says "Is that why I always feel more comfortable with you guys than at the palace? Maybe I somehow always knew?" I said, holding my egg close. "Are you okay mummy?" Serena asked "I'll be okay. I'm just trying to understand this."I replied in my thoughts. "So what have you been able to do so far?" He asked excitedly "I can hear my hatchlings, and the fact I can transform into a full dragon along with night vision and..." I stopped at the mate vision remembering him actually touching me and that I'd visit tonight. Most likely blushing brightly, Ostia says "Have you felt a mate bond by chance?" My blush deepened. "I uh. I think so.." I said, awkwardly.. She looks at Alderon as he nods at her. "Do you know if he's told you his name?" Without even thinking, it blurted out of my mouth without even a second thought. "Dracus." As if an aching feeling of need or want all together made me miss his voice and the sparkling ocean blue eyes. "Has he touched you at night? Like he can see you or is it very real?" Alderon asked, as if scared. "Umm... Yes..." "Oh s**t. Ostia, we must find him before she goes into the heat." Confused, he looks at her. She nods and hands him the tiny baby in her arms that looks even tinier in his. Cooing at her with loving eyes. He looks at her. "We have to tell your father.. About what's happening, we'll travel to every country if we have to just in case. It'd be a full month of not being at the isle and you'd have to bring your egg with you." "Wait what! But I have responsibilities here! I can't just leave!" "You may be my blood but you have to listen to me, there's only a month! Till you are of age, this desperate feeling and need for your mate will only get stronger the older you get! If you are a dragon like you say you are, listen to an older dragon and help me find your mate." Confused and frustrated, I asked "What will happen if I don't." "Not only will you hurt people, you will need a certain craving to be fixed and you'll mate with anyone with dragon blood! It doesn't matter if mated or unmated." My eyes widened in shock. "Go home and pack a bag of clothes. We leave tomorrow."

A feeling of shock settled in. Leave home? Mating? Is it that dangerous to be a dragon? The feeling of fear pulsing over myself because of thinking of hurting those I care about. Dad, Mom, Riftan, Tahlia, the baker, chef, everyone. My home. "It'll be okay mummy you'll feel when he's close like you did last night." Serena says "You might be right, maybe I could ask what that city he lives near is called." Feeling a little better. I wonder about when they'll hatch. They won't be at home safe or sound. We'll be out of the Islands and away from everything I know. What if a hunter sees them? They'll be endangered the entire time. I'll have to be on guard the entire time. Walking home with Alderon next to me due to him having to talk to my father tonight while Ostia takes care of everything with transportation. "I'm sorry to do this to you. I just know you're a good person. I would never want you to be taken by anyone but your mate, you know..I'm only doing what I think is best for you." I sighed "I know I just don't know how to feel about leaving home for so long-becoming 16 and meeting him is nerve-wracking.

Before entering the palace, Alderon hugged me, "You'll be safe always. I promised to always guard you the day you were born. I always knew you'd grow up to be a strong young lady." Smiling and hugging him back. Letting go, we walked into the castle. My father was already walking down the stairs stunned. Alderon was next to me. "It's rare to see you guys together, what's the special occasion?" "One to speak of in private and away from prying ears, my friend." Alderon said gracefully. Walking next to Alderon, my father walked us to his office. Entering and closing the door, we all sat down. My father is in one of the chairs in front of his desk and we are on the couch. "She's not human Joan, she's like me. She has the blood of dragons in her. As well as her bond with a mate and hatchlings." My father took in the information he just received. "She's still your daughter. She may have my blood due to the accident." He just nodded, looking at us. Comparing the differences. "Why did you never tell me?" He says grimly and upset. "We only just realized...Due to her transforming into a dragon herself, with the ability to hear her bonded hatchling." Alderon keeping the hatchlings a secret to my father just incase of him becoming extremely angery. My father sighs "Okay, what do you need me to do?" "We need to visit every country to find him. She only has one month till she becomes 16. "And if she doesn't, does she do what happened to your wife?" Alderon sighs. "Yes..." Ostia had to go through that? I wonder what happens to the other half of your soul if it happens. "What happens to the guy when that happens?" I ask "They'll get the worst pain in their whole life, as if being stabbed and burned at the same time. You'd recognize the feeling anywhere. But the closer you are, the worse it is." Oh god. Can I find him in time?!
