The northernmost city was not home to too many people because of the extremely harsh weather ninety percent of the year. The worst weather is during the winter solstice. Darkness dominated the 24-hour timeline. Citizens were warned that the harsh winter darkness brought a danger that not many could combat.
They called it the blight. No one knows what it really was. Some called the blight a disease, others thought it was a creature in the night. But everyone agreed that very few survived the kiss of the blight.
The only people that were silly enough to even inhabit this area were the fire mages. The blight creatures of night hated light and fire. The city, a circular shape. Its perimeter was a ring of fire to keep the blight at bay. So, the city became a ghost town at night. During the winter that meant almost all day
Asha personally just didn’t really care if she lived or died. If she lived, she served the fire queen one more day. If she died, well the fire queen would have one less cockroach to worry about. She was drawn to the city square at night time for that is always where she finds him in her dreams. She does not know where he comes from.
She sits as she has every night till about midnight, at the base of the great fountain. On this special night a crackling noise startled her. A swirling purple void appeared above the water fountain. She stepped back and stared in awe, it was just like her dreams. It phased in and out of existence until it stabilized. A man emerged from the abyss. He fell into the water with a splash. Asha rushed over and managed to drag this large man out of the water.
She was not strong enough to move him far. She ran to the hospital wing where she works. Asha was quick, she grabbed a wheeled bed and rushed back out to the man. When she examined him, she found that he was bleeding and missing large chunks of flesh. She managed to get him on the bed and strap him down.
Instead of taking him back to the hospital as she knows would have been the wiser choice. She took him to a building she had created in the woods.
Just before she got to the small enclosure she had built as a makeshift medic room, she heard a noise shuffling in the woods. She paused and listened, the whole forest seemed to still not a sound was heard. She did not have time to stop and think about it.
The dying man in front of her was her only focus. She grabbed gauze, needles and a blood transfusion. She was hoping her dream was right and she grabbed the right blood type. She took out the needle to sew up his wounds. She was so worried about saving him. She could not think of anything else but simply that she wanted his wounds healed.
She went to start sewing up his wounds when she shrieked in surprise as his wounds began to knit back together all on their own. She watched in awe. Her attention was so focused on his rebuilding flesh that she didn’t see his eyes open.
He laid there watching her in confusion, he could sense this girl did not have a beast side, but her aurora was something he had never encountered before. He was clearly not in his own world now. His magic combined with the blast that attacked him must have super powered his teleportation into a wormhole.
She looked away from the knitting flesh, to stare deep into his violet eyes. She sharply inhaled when she finally was able to look upon his face. His hair, as black as midnight starkly contrasted his purple eyes. He was roughly six foot tall and covered in strange runes. It was now she realized he is naked. His glory open for all to see. She looks over his whole body in surprise and shrilly says I need to find you a blanket.
He smirks, you don’t like what you see healer? I am in debt to you. You saved my life and I will give you whatever you desire. He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. She turns away with a blush. She clears her throat. I am not a healer. Your wounds healed themselves. He cocks his head to the side and looks at her in confusion, and decides to leave it, as she hands him a blanket to cover himself with.
How did you end up here? We must get you out of here, do you know any magic? She asks in a ramble and didn’t even wait for an answer before continuing. They don’t really like outsiders, and I am sure they will not like you.
He laughs “Slow down there healer. I am a chaos dragon, and I have no idea what I did, or why in the blazes I am even here. My name is XI was in a battle with my mother. I was losing ... poorly. that fucking staff of hers. It needs to be destroyed. I lost consciousness and woke up here.”
He sits up adjusting the blanket she kindly covered him with. Just then her cell phone starting ringing. He jumped out of bed and took a defensive stance. “What in the hell is that? She giggled, “Stop it you silly boy.” She takes in his naked form once more, “It is just a cell phone. Damn I have got to find you some shorts”
He relaxed his form slightly, “Cell phone? What the Hell? We do not have those from where I come from.”
The phone still ringing, she picked it up. She holds the phone a foot away from her ear. “Your LATE why are you LATE again. You know she does not like to be kept waiting. You have ten min to get back here. She wants to know why you broke curfew again!
Asha sighs, “I have no desire to come in today. In fact, I am NOT coming today.” “What?! The voice on the other end screams at her. She will fire you if you don’t come.” The voice threatened.
"I don’t care anymore. Let her do her worst. Asha counters. An evil laughter comes across the phone. “I will let her know.” The line goes dead.
He takes the phone from her, and turns it around in his hand, “curious device.” He says deep in thought, and still very naked. She laughed, “Do you not have technology where your from, you know lights electricity etc?” She walks to a drawer and pulls out some shorts. Here put these on.
It was his turn to wrinkle his nose. He sighs, “You want me to put these on? What is it? It appears to be made from plant particles.” “We do not have anything like that. The land I come from is mostly of feral beasts, some humans and elves. I really need to figure out a way to get back. I need to help my Mother. He puts the shorts back on the bed as he sits down. Lost in his thoughts he simply pulls the blanket she had given him over his lap. He still did not understand why she was so shy about his anatomy.
What about you, what’s your story? She laughed I am but a mere human. She huffed in annoyance. You do not like being human he asks. She snorts, not really everyone around me has magic. They laugh at me and ridicule me because I have no magic. All because my mother became interested in a non magic. She let him have her way with her. And I was an accident.
No genetic mapping or planning, she let me happen. Her curiosity got the better of her. She snorts again. I hate her for having me as such a monstrosity. She looks and him bitterly, they won’t teach me anything of value because I am a magic less born. I wish I could just run away and hide, but for some silly reason they won’t let me leave either.
They force me to work at the hospital. I am sick of it, I have decided I am leaving this town. Or I will die trying. The only problem is the blight at dusk. But if you traveled with me, I am sure we could find somewhere better to live. He looks at her a bit confused at what this little human was making him feel. You want me to travel with you? “Yes,” was the quick reply. She soon became lost in her own rambling. He watched her in curiosity.
He turns his attention to the room they are in. It is small and cramped, it looks to be designed just for this purpose, to heal someone. There was enough room for a bed and someone to walk on either side. He begins to watch her as she frantically moves about the room. He feels drawn to her.
A tingly sensation overtook him, it started in his fingers and began to course through his whole body. He did not understand what was going on or why he felt this way.
She came close to him mumbling away. “Excuse me.” she says, and she reached across him her whole body over his lap as she reached hard for something on the other side of him. Her skin sliding across his. Her soft body emanating heat across him. It almost made him come undone.
“Asha,” a deep husky command came “Stop. I am losing control.” Still practically in his lap, she noticed his breathing had changed. She froze. “What do you mean?” she asked.
He chuckles, have you never had a man interested in you? He asks. “No..I have not.” She says shyly.
“You are very beautiful,” he tells her. She shies away. Her heart flipping and her pulse becomes erratic. Suddenly she just wants this man to do things to her, things she has never experienced before. She wished he felt the same, that he wanted to make her his.
Her eyes met his and there was a hunger she has never seen in anyone. He reached down and touched her chin, then slides his hand down to her waist. He pulled her up and straddled her legs around his waist. Goddess he could feel himself twitch at her closeness.
She started to breath erratically. “What… What are you doing?” she stammers.
He touched her chin once more, electrical energy danced all over his skin. Driving him forward, he was not sure why but goddess he wanted to mate with this human. More than he has wanted anything in his life. His lips crashed onto hers. Mmm, he moaned into her mouth his hands trailing down to her waist.
He slides his tongue across her lips asking to be let in. She denies him. In one fluid movement his hands slid do her thighs to the edge of her skirt. He flipped it backwards and lifted her just a hair to remove the blanket. She was so lost in his kiss she didn’t pay any attention to what he was doing both hands on her hips that were already rocking back and forth. He was about to take her when
“What in the name of the fire queen is going on here?” He shouts. She pulls away breathless trying to make her words work. She tries to get off of him, he growls a guttural warning. She freezes, his eyes, the violet color swirls with magic. His hands locked on her hips, he won't let her get off, at least not till he gets off.
He chants a spell that pushes the man out and puts a protection around him and the building. His eyes meet hers once more.
The violet and black swirls in his eyes, he slowly let’s out. “I have to have you as my mate. I won't let you go. I want you to bear my offspring.” He says low and seductively. Xavier does not understand his choice, but he can’t ignore that he was already buried deep within this female’s body.
With her release, he was so close, he pushed into her hard as she screamed his name “Oh my God, Xavier!” . He bit into her neck and her blood swirled across his tongue. Causing him to release his seed within in her. Goddess she felt so fucking good. Nothing has ever compared to this, his body now gave off magic that he didn’t know he had. Xavier is overcome by his release.
**************************************************************
“Come out willingly Asha, or I will reign hells fire down on you.” A voice powers through his protection field. Xavier didn’t have time to respond, his protection instinct emerged, enraged that his mate was being threatened. He pulls her off of him as his draconian nature surges forward and begins to shift, he turns to her, grabs her and pulls her into his chest.
“Stay” came the rough command ``They will not take what is mine from me, he roared. She watched in fearful awe as the gorgeous man shifted into a lavender dragon. His neck elongated and his body grew until his shift destroyed the building they were in. She hid under his belly. It radiated heat.
Shrieks of fear erupted all around as everyone had to back up as he didn’t stop growing. He reached a grand length if one thousand feet. He opens his mouth and a purple almost black swirl starts to form. He releases the shadow ball into the sky as it explodes chaotically, everyone in the ground cowers in fear.
“What in hell's fire are you the queen asks. The beast chuckles. He mind links his little human, should I kill them all. “No" came the quick response. She steps out from under the dragon. And says “My queen I renounce my loyalty to you.”
Outraged the queen says “You can not do that I will not let you leave. I will kill you first.” Without thinking the dragon snapped his head around and bit the queen in half. The bottom of her torso and legs fell with a thud. Everyone else ran in fear. They did not know what this creature was before them. The great beast took his prize and and into leaped into the sky.
He flew far from there. He knew his mate would need to eat and rest soon. Xavier had a thought came to him, she is not used to the wind or the high altitude. He is overcome with fear lands and immediately. He unfurls her from his claw and sure enough she was short of breath.
While he was flying, he had seen a city not far from where he landed. He takes flight once more taking her back to just outside the city. He lands and shifts back to his human form. This time he willed his dragon scales to stay so he did not appear as if he was naked.
He picked her up off the ground and walked into the city. Upon entering the busy city marketplace, he watched in awe as humans rushed around to sell their wares. He watched their exchanges with caution. He suddenly did not feel this was such a good idea. Walking into a new town covered in dragon scales carrying an unconscious woman.
He looked down at her and got lost in thought. Xavier tried to figure out why selected her. He could sense that she was special.
He is pulled from his thoughts, “Excuse me sir but I think your friend needs an inn, and to be warmed up.” He looks down at the unconscious woman in his arms. He sighs “I have no form of payment.” The innkeeper smiles “It’s ok, this one's for her.”
Xavier followed the man into his inn. He led the two travelers to a room. “She will be safe here.” The old man assured him. Xavier laid his new mate on the bed. He kissed her forehead. Softly he said “I have no idea what it is about you, but I am willing to see where this leads too.” A shiver racked his body as he thinks about his earlier activities with this young human. She had managed to take him to a higher plane than any of his females back home. Make him feel magic stir inside of him that he didn’t know he had.
Once he saw that she was warm and safe, he turned his attention to the innkeeper. It was now that he could sense this old man was not what he seemed to be. The old man looks at him and says “Come Chaos King. We need to talk.”
