The Triumphant Return

[Luna Grimm]

His story was wonderful… It made her feel so powerful… so beautiful. She had seen him dreaming, with a smile on his sweet face, and had wondered what he was dreaming, but it was nowhere near what he had said he had dreamed about. Her thoughts did not do it justice. But she thought about it… what if they just left the humans. Left them to rot in their own battles and their own miserable lives… they could go away together.

She smiled brightly, tears on the brim of her eyes. He wanted to be with her forever and always, on Dragon’s Honor. She let the tears fall and he brought her in close. She closed her eyes and whispered, “By Elvin honor.”

[Bloodwing]

Elven honor was no different it seemed he had his first true disciple. The way he understood this pact is that she would be his not only in the bedroom but on the battle field. She was an elf after all and he would treat her as such. She would fight for him as well.

However as he held her he was suddenly and rudely reminded by his stomach that he was famished, as his stomach growled loudly and ruined the sentimentality of the moment. He just laughed. "We can't fight nature now can we." He said kissing her cheek before letting go and the sitting at the table.

[Luna Grimm]

Smiling brightly, Luna was happy beyond belief. She had a life long mate and this time.... he would never age. She didn't want the moment to end...she was content. And for the first time in centuries, money and her benefit were not the only things that would make her happy. She giggled lightly as he mentioned not fighting nature and he kissed her cheek before he sat down to his warmed steak.

Her hand went to her face, covering the place he had kissed. What was it about this dragon that made her... well... so not her? She didn't ask and sat down, grabbing an apple.!he then burst out in a fit of giggles. She knew she probably looked like a loony; so she explained herself.:

"I'm imagining that feeding you in your true form will be much more expensive than a steak and potatoes... probably a cow or two and a berrel of potatoes." She smiled.

[Bloodwing]

He chuckled as he swallowed a chunk of meat. "For me its not expensive at all, I just sour therough the sky and pick up what I want whether it be a cow. an elk or even human. To me, it isn't costly at all." Just imaging being able to huntlke that again made him happy. He continued to eat and drink Until all that was left was basically blood on the plate. He was satisfied, And now for some gratification.

[Luna Grimm]

She smirked lightly as he mentioned just how he would get his meals. Oh... what a wonder it would be to fly... She fell silent for a moment as he ate his meal, thinking about soaring through the sky... free as a bird, not a care in the world. She smiled lightly and in a matter of minutes, he was done with his beer and his steak and potato. She grinned lightly and then looked over at him. "You're supposed to wait an hour before any strenuous activity." she winked playfully. "Unfortunately, for you. I don't want to wait."

With that she pulled him from the chair and onto the bed, undressing him... starting with his boots.

-The Morning after-

Again... she had awoken before him and just watched him. What a weird week it had been: arriving in a new place, finding a place to stay, meeting a man, and becoming eternal mates within three days of meeting him. Sure... it was quick, but she knew that when your heart yearned for someone as if three days was a year, that it was indeed... love.

[Bloodwing]

For Bloodwing love, and loyalty where the same of course he found her beautiful and because of his pact would happily murder those that dared endanger her, he was not exactly enamored the same way she was. He saw this as a pact, a bond of loyalty. It wasn't as emotional. He wouldn't leave her, but in his mind she was still inferior in the grand scheme of things. Not because of her gender, but because she wasn't a dragon. If it came between her and another female dragon there was no telling how he would act as his pact protected her but his nature would almost require he take action so that the purity of his race didn't die.

With that in mind he had yet another dream this time it was different. It was a warning 'she was coming. the queen was coming. and there where choices to be made.many of them unleasant, all of them dealing with the book and with the royalty that approached. And that voice the one that was leading him in the ruins was screaming at him angrily about Luna. The entity found her impure worth nothing more than a brief moment of pleasure. Then there was a face, five of them all dragons angry that he would throw honor around like that. There was fire and then...

He woke with a start he found he had been sweating and probably not been sleeping well His heart hammered at his chest and a chill ran down his spine as she breathed hard. He had woken from a nightmare he could no longer remember now that he was awake.

[Luna Grimm]

She was startled when he awoke with a start and wondered what had happened. She now noticed that he was sweating and she kissed his cheek and got out of the bed, wrapped in the white sheets again, and grabbed a washcloth with some cold water from the clean water basin by the vanity. She walked back to him. Settling down next to him in the bed, she moved his head to on her lap and began to dab his forehead. "Shh... settle... what happened, my love?" she asked him, as she began to hum a sweet Elvin melody her mother used to sing to her when demons came to her in her dreams and gave her night terrors...

[Bloodwing]

For the life of him he couldn't recall what had scared him. Nothing scared him, ever. Shaking his head ha laid in her lap and looked up at her the beautifully smooth and perfectly angled Elvin face. "No idea what it was." he admitted. "But what ever it was it was replaced by a much better image." He said looking up at her face with a grin. So is there anything you want to do? my schedules a little more open but for to open that book and I'd rather do that later." He said

[Luna Grimm]

She nodded to him and then smiled as she was flattered by her words. She looked over at his heap of armor and clothes and then over at her clothes that were much more scattered. She looked back down at him, bending over to kiss the tip of his nose, holding her hair back with one hand to one side. She looked down at him as she thought about things, how quickly things had gone, and what they were now. She smiled lightly and then set the washcloth on the bedside table. "Well... there's always bets to collect, pockets to pick, and humans to piss off." she grinned. She scooted his head back onto the pillow and stood, letting the sheets slowly slip from her thin figure.

She walked over and reached into her trunk, by the window, and pulled out a similar robes to the ones she had been wearing the day before, but blue and silver this time. She slipped them on and then walked over to his edge of the bed and sat, holding up her hair. "Button it up?" she asked politely.

[Bloodwing]

"Hmmm. Sounds fun to me." he said to her plan. He sat uo and watched her walk to the wardrobe. The figure of hers stirring his blood. He wanted to just go up and hold it again and her dress did little to ebb that feeling of lust. then she came back and sat down next to him and asked him to button her up he felt more like ripping the clothes off again, but he behaved and did up her dress.

Then he got up picked up the heavy lether and cloth armor he had used with a wave of his hand all the 'earth' stuch to the clothing detached and became a black ball pf dirt that he through into waste basket befoe getting dressed again. He had no spare clothes here in the room so he would change later. "Now lets go cause some trouble." He said turning and walking up to her.

[Luna Grimm]

She could feel his eyes on her as she walked around the room almost silently. She smiled lightly to herself. So she did have some affect on him.... she just hoped that someone like her and someone like him could really last. Who knew what his kind would think about him being with her. Or even the other way around! Would she be accepted as a proper mate for him? She started to think not so... but she shook that thought from her mind. She was just as ill-intended as he was... just a little more graceful at it.

She felt his hands reach up and slowly start to button up her dress, as if he did not want to see her in clothes. She turned and thanked him with a nod, as she let her hair fall down around her face in a cascade of blond curls. She let him get up and get dressed and she looked down at her own attire. Thinking about it for a moment, she jumped up and went to her trunk. "I have something for you..." she suddenly thought of it. How could she had forgotten? She had stolen them from the Elvin prince back home... Glorious white robe with the same silver lining as her white robes from the day before. She pulled them out and handed them to him. "Why don't you try these on?"

[Bloodwing]

"Hm?" He looked at the clothing she had brought him. And held it in his hands it was so light and so silky he rarely saw material like this. He knew what it was. "This isn't Mithral thread is it? Any Idea how valuable the fabric alone is worth? Well of course you do your an elf, but this is worth more that whats in a small kingdom's treasury. He pu his arom through and wrapped it around himself it made him look like royalty in this body, and it felt so good it was like wearing air. Being a dragon he knew his treasures and this was a treasure and a half. "Are you seriously gifting me something so expensive?"

[Luna Grimm]

Watching him put it on reminded her of home, and she watched, with an emotionless face. She did miss her parents, but she wasn't sure just how she could go back... or if she could. She sighed lightly and when he asked if it was Mithrel, she nodded. She knew exactly what it was and how much it was worth. She walked up to him as he asked if she was seriously gifting this to him. She reached out, clasped the top of the vest together for him, under the white robes and she planted a kiss on the pendant and then looked at him.

"I know what it is. I know how much it's worth, but it is my choice to give it to whom I choose. And I chose to be with you for as long as the Stars permit us. Why would I not want to adorn you with gifts?" she smiled lightly.

[Bloodwing]

He smiled and looked down on her. "I'm just surprised is all. Seriously though robes like this in the world of humans... they're so rare not even I..." He stopped he was about to admit he didn't have a single item in his draconic stash that was this valuable. "Just so you know we dragons love absolutely love expensive gifts. He took her in his arms, hands on her hips as he kissed her on the lips not letting her respond as he thanked her for the gift with an impassioned kiss.

[Luna Grimm]

She listened, the same gently smile on her face as he said he was surprised at a gift this rare. She giggled lightly and then he said that dragons absolutely loved expensive gifts and as she was going to tell him you're welcome, he pulled her into another passionate kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck, letting the kiss linger. His warm lips gave her the chills and she loved it.

She let her foot pop and then she looked at him as she pulled away slightly, her arms still around his neck. She knew that she didn't have to tell him you're welcome. The kiss was thanks enough. "Well, my prince... shall we?"
