[Carnelia]
“We need to get out of here,” Primus is rushing around the room, grabbing things off of shelves and shoving them into bags. “We are not going by official means. We need to leave, now!”
“Primus, slow down. What is happening? What is going on?” I try to stop him from spinning, to focus on one thing and communicate his needs, but he is unable to do so. His body is moving supernaturally fast in a way that I can hardly track. He is so much stronger than I am, there is no way I can physically stop him without hurting myself.
“He knows,” Primus is sweating, his

Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Planning Session
[Primus] All night we mated like tomorrow might never come. At that moment, we couldn't know if it would or not. Things have never been easy for a pair like us, but now everything has gotten so much more difficult. Our world is so uncertain now that we must claim every bit of happiness that we can. There is no way to know what tomorrow will bring. And while it may be impossible to predict the future, there are a few things we can do to prepare for it. So when we were not making love, Carnelia and I strategized. We still don't have a solid plan of what to do next, but after cataloging the things we do know, we have at least some idea of what we might be facing.
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Visiting Vatra
[Carnelia] I thought flying in the cart was terrifying. Flying on Primus’ back is far, far worse. Dragon scales are extremely slick. It allows rainwater to just roll off of them and protect their tender flesh. They are also extremely hard to hold onto, and very sharp if you move against them the wrong way. Also, the ridges on a dragon’s back are very pointy and painful to sit on for any amount of time. There isn’t enough space between them for a body to rest without being a little impaled, especially if the dragon is moving and flapping his wings, jostling you about. It is also a lot colder being on a dragon’s back rather than in his arms. None of these points were things th
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Fairytales and Fables
[Primus] “I’m sorry, Ona, but did you suggest we get married?” Ona grins. “Yes,” she replies evenly. “In secret, of course, but in a way that would be legally binding. It will make it impossible for Father to force you to marry someone since you’ll already be married.” “But is that even legal,” I inquired, “I’m Crown Prince. I cannot get married without royal permission.” “I’m about 99% sure we can get our mother to approve. And if we get Tritius involved, we’ll have at least 3 royals connected to the throne in attendance. Father would have a hard time convincing the council and the rest of the court to disavo
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Truths and Secrets
[Carnelia] “I’m sure you know the official story, the one that the Imperium and our Father have been promoting. Ignore it. None of it is true, except for their attempt at complete genocide for no good reason other than their own greed.” She brings over a small globe, a representation of our planet, and sets it down in front of us. “This is our world,” she gently spins the globe. “So large, so gloriously diverse. Like so many of us elemental masters, not just the dragons, but the Fae, the ogres…have you ever wondered why we are so different from all the other creatures on this planet? We share almost nothing with them, not in our true forms. Dragons are no more giant lizards than a dragon prince is a human man. We are completely alien.
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Ona and the Sea
[Ona] Primus and Carnelia both look stunned and I haven’t even told them the extent of what I know…and what I think I know. I wish I could tell Primus everything now, but it is too much of a risk. He is after all the next Dragon King of Luxandra. It’s not that I don’t trust my little brother, I don’t trust those who will be around him at court, those who could torture the secrets out of him, or even worse, use Carnelia to do so. The less he knows, the safer they both are. “Do you remember, 40 years ago, when Segundus and I were sent on I was sent on a diplomatic mission to Obaaran to arrange an alliance with the sand dragons of Kana?” “I remember hea
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Expectations
[Carnelia] “I’m getting married….to Primus!” “If we are going to do this,” Primus stands up straight, adjusting his clothing, and looks directly at Ona. “We’re going to do it properly without shortcuts. But we need to start immediately. We have just under 4 days until Segundus comes looking to see what we are up to. That isn’t a lot of time. I’m assuming you have a way to contact Mother,” “Several,” Ona confirms. “She can be here by tonight.” “Perfect,” they continue talking around me. I fe
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Responsibilities
[Carnelia] What does one say when they are in the presence of someone who is practically a deity? I don’t know what I was expecting when I met Primus’ mother. I knew she was a Star Fire Dragon, a Celestial Star Fire Dragon to be precise, but I didn’t know what that meant. Celestial dragons are as different from terran dragons as light is to mud. They live on a separate plane, not just in the sky, but somewhere above and beyond. They leave their home so rarely that sightings of them flying by are exceptionally rare. And yet here I am, standing in front of one of them, about to marry her son. A bright white refl
Sacrificed to the Dragon Prince Reunion
[Ona] “So,” Orion raises one eyebrow, his expression so much like his father’s that it pierces me in the heart. “You are our mother?” We are sequestered in my private rooms, the rest of the family giving us space and time to “bond.” I’m not really comfortable around dragons this age, I never have been. I never expected to be a mother. And in many ways, I guess I’m not. What kind of mother abandons her clutch and doesn’t even return to name them? “Yes, biologically. I did lay you,” I admit. “I’m not sure if I deserve the title of ‘mother,’ that is for you to decide.” “Why did you leave us?” Ursa’s golden eyes glow brightly. “Didn’t you want us?” “I’ll be honest,” I look them both in the eyes. “I did not expect you. Once I learned I was carrying a clutch, I went to the celestial kingdom before your grandfather could catch a whiff of you. I knew that if he found out you existed, he would have had you killed as soon as you hatched.” I take a deep breath before continuing. “I am not sa
