"Oh my god! I swear it's like someone took every color of the rainbow and sprinkled it across your world," I spoke in reverence, standing at the edge of the lake."Thank you, little fyre," his voice came from behind me. I turned to him forgetting that to transform he had to be undressed. "Wow, umm, do you happen to have clothes hidden nearby or something?" I inquired in embarrassment. He chuckled. "Oh, my sweetness, you are going to have to get over your shame one way or another."I dropped my hands but still couldn't quite look at him. My eyes kept going above him to the sky or below him to his feet. "I'm sorry, I just can't yet. Please put something on," I replied, trying to keep my cheeks from being set on fire. He took a step towards me. Putting a hand under my chin, he held my face until I looked into his eyes. "I will get dressed. I had one of my people bring food for us and clothes for me," he told me, pressing a kiss to my forehead. I was a bit shocked that he had though

My jaw dropped. How were these decisions so easily decided by him? He wanted me as his mate... boom... I would become his mate. Boom... done. He wanted to sleep with me...boom... he sleeps with me. He wanted to win my heart and make me love him then that was what he was going to do."Just like that, huh?" I asked him finally. He opened the weaved basket and began pulling out the food for us. "Yes, just like that," he responded with such certainty that I would have sworn he thought he had already won it. I opened my mouth to explain why it wouldn't that easy, but the smell of the food reminded me that my stomach insisted on eating more.What the heck. I thought to myself. Might as well argue that point later. The basket was amazingly well-stocked for a small, weaved thing. Tohr pulled out various items that could be something akin to fruits and vegetables. As well as something that resembled cheese except it was blue. Then a bottle of what I would assume was their version of wine.

I giggled a bit feeling a bit goofy, then got angry. "You will do NO such thing. He did nothing wrong! He brought me food when everyone else would have had me starved! I offered to repay the kindness and share! No one told me that was a thing! He refused and ran out! I believe the guard laughed at him!" I shouted. He ground his teeth and took a deep breath. "What was his name? So, I may… thank him," he ground out. "You won't hurt him?" I asked dubiously. He let his breath out in what I swore was a draygony curse. "No, I will not hurt him," he promised. "Swear it!" "I swear I will not hurt this Draygon.""Cross your heart and hope to die?" I said with a giggle and goofy smile, feeling the urge to tease him. "Mara!" he shouted; his patience gone. Laughing, I took pity on him. "Fine! It was Treddian. But I promise if even one scale is discolored, you will have me to answer to," I snapped, glaring at him a bit."Treddian," he repeated gently."Yes. He greeted me as I came through

A painfully bright light pierced my eyelids, forcing me to leave the sweet darkness behind to be tortured by this blazing ball. I groaned and buried my head in the pillow, stubbornly refusing to let it win. What did I do last night? I asked myself, trying to convince the jerk with the jackhammer in my brain to stop using it."Good morning, little fyre," whispered a voice beside me. "Nooo," I groaned out. He chuckled softly, making me quell the urge to hit him, even though I didn't have the energy to even lift my arm. "You need to sit up and eat, sweet one. If you eat and drink a bit, you'll feel better," Tohr encouraged me softly."Oh god, no. No food," I whimpered. "Mara," Tohr warned. "Don't argue with me. I know what it's like to overindulge in Hars. You will not feel well until you put something in your stomach to soak up the juice." Sitting up slowly, I groaned as my head seemed to whirl with even that slight movement. The soft fuzzy blanket that had been wrapped around me be

"What the hell?!" I shouted at him."I was trying to prove a point, Mara, calm down," he said gently."Did you seriously-"-Yes. - He said again in my mind.My eyes were glued to his lips. "Do that again."I was determined to catch him messing with me.-You did not have such a hard time accepting this yesterday, sweet one. - Tohr replied in exasperation.My jaw dropped as I stared at his immobile one as he spoke."This is insane..." I said mostly to myself."You will get used to it," he replied almost flippantly."Right. Sure, I will," I breathed out, trying to grasp this new spin on reality."What happened next?" I pushed again, wanting to know everything that happened last night."Well, as soon as I realized you had you too much Hars. I convinced you that we needed to head home. You became a little too attached to a tree. Claimed it was your best friend," he explained, still chuckling."Oh! Well, that's not as bad as I thought," I responded, slightly happier.The last time I had gott

A knock at the door saved my sanity, especially since Tohr looked like he was stuck in the same thrall that I was in. He hissed and growled towards the door. "It is I, Your Majesty," came the answer from the other side of the door. "Erik," I breathed in relief.Tohr growled again and stepped away. "Go and get dressed, little fyre. We will finish our conversation after I discover why your bother has interrupted us," Tohr ordered me with a wave of his hand towards the other chamber. Wrapping the blanket around me, I waddled quickly into the other chamber without hesitation. As soon as the door closed, I heard Tohr tell Erik to enter. Their voices were dulled due to the heavy wood door between us. However, I could make out the tone of frustration from Tohr and what sounded like urgency from my brother. A sudden wave of anger washed over me, and it took a moment to realize it was not my own. I was in awe of how I could sense his essence along with the emotion, a very vivid way of lett

I nodded in agreement and continued to look over the map. To the East of the continent was a place called Nahas'fa, led by a King named Soopian. I wondered if these were the same Green Draygons that were to be blamed for the Hars. Beyond that was the Goorian ocean that connected this continent and another one. It held the Kingdoms of Cariissan: Black Draygons, Shonian: Red Draygons, and Vroo: Yellow Draygons. And underneath each Kingdom was the name of their rulers. At the top and bottom were two extremely small continents much like the Arctic and Antarctica continents on earth. What fascinated me the most was it looked like one land was ruled by a Queen. "This is amazing!" I exclaimed. "I want to learn everything about your world!""Sire, we spoke of having someone tutor Mara on the laws, traditions, and way of the people. Your Queen must know her subjects," Erik reminded him gently."You should teach me," I told Erik happily. "After all, I haven't seen you in 10 years. I would love

The hard lines of anger around his forehead and mouth did not hide his worry. I remembered those lines very well; I had seen them up close and personal one night when I had walked home late from the park with a few of my friends. I had known my parents weren't going to be home. So instead of heading straight home after dark, I had walked around with my friends, enjoying a ten year old's sense of freedom.By the time I had made it home, it had been close to my bedtime, and I thought my brother was going to blow a vein in his forehead. It had taken me a while to understand that his anger was just a cover for how worried he had been about me. Erik had yelled and stomped around the house for hours. He went on and on about all the things that could have happened to a ten-year-old girl.Though my parents had grounded me for my stunt, it was my brother that had made the biggest impact on me that day.And it was that look and that tone that made me pause to listen to him now."What can I do to
