Shard nodded in agreement and gently cooed to his mate as they cuddled and comforted their children. “Everything will be okay, lover. I promise...” he whispered to her as they snuggled. “I just home we can bring her back home one day...”
~~~~~~~
Sizarla nodded in agreement to Raiden, leaning over and nuzzling the top of his head. “You’re right Raiden. You and Laugai are a perfect example. You’re practically father and son!” She said happily, rubbing his sides and back with her tail.
Alekar chuckled a little bit and nodded in agreement to the two dragons. “Yep. They say blood is thicker than water, but in my experience scales and fire beat both.” He said with a smirk.

Ma'ait seemed comforted by this, purring gently. She then looked as Magna said "We will. She won't stay away forever... we miss her, and she misses us." Well, at least she hoped that she did.
~~~~~
Raiden and Laugai smiled at this, Laugai saying "Blood only does so much, and sometimes families don't always work out. So here we are. Not related, but close to our respective companion as if they were family. And maybe the four of us will make up an even bigger family, seeing all sorts of new things and meeting even more people and creatures."

Shard nodded, leaning down and gently nuzzling Magna’s head and licking her tiny frame a few times. “I’m sure she misses us, sweetie. She’ll be back one day.” He murmured softly. He soon settled down and laid his head beside his mate’s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Oooh that’s be great!” Sizarla chirped excitedly, waving her tail around a few times. She laid back down and nuzzled the top of Raiden’s head a little bit. “Don’t you think so, Raiden?” She asked happily, setting her chin atop his head.
Alekar smirked a bit, seeing his dragon get all cuddly with Raiden. He leaned over a bit towards Laugai. “Sizarla is totally smitten with Raiden.” He whispered with a low chuckle.

(Want to skip ahead? Idk to when tho lol)
~~~~~
Raiden churred gently and said "Yes, that would be nice." And the best part is that he would get to spend more time with her!
Laugai smiled slightly in amusement at this, nodding a bit as he said quietly "Quite, but maybe that is a good thing for both of them." Raiden seemed to be very interested and well.

((Maybe time when Xandrite has a bigger force formed? Could be making way towards their kingdom?))
~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Sizarla trilled happily, hearing Raiden liking the idea of the four of them sticking together making her happy too. She leaned her head over and lightly gave Raiden a couple licks to his muzzle and chin to show her happiness and interest in Raiden.
Alekar nodded and looked at the two dragons. “You’re right, hopefully it will be.” He said. For all the time he’d known Sizarla she’d never taken a liking to a dragon. She’d turn all the courting males away, preferring to stay with Alekar. But now she was coming out of her shell for Raiden, which Alekar found cool and he was happy for his dragon.

(Yeah, how long should that be? A few months? A year? Idk xD)
Laugai then asked Alekar quietly "Is she usually like this with other dragons? Friendly?" He knew that some dragons weren't very social, smiling slightly in amusement as the two dragons chattered happily with each other.

((I’d say at least a few months. Maybe Mysha could be expecting their first child? Up to you though))
Alekar smiled a little bit as he watched Sizarla nuzzle and shower attention on Raiden. “Friendly? Usually. Showering affection? Never. She usually sticks with me most of the time. This is the most amount of time I’ve seen her spend with another dragon in a long time.” He commented.

(No that works. Want me to start or you?)
Laugai nodded slowly. "I see. Well, this is probably a good thing then. It's nice to see her socializing like this. Raiden too. He isn't the most social at all." He smiled sheepishly at the bland look his friend gave him.

Post by AshLightning on Jul 22, 2020 7:35:19 GMT -5
((Would you mind starting?))
Alekar laughed a little bit as Raiden looked back at Laugai with a bland look. He was just glad the two dragons were happy with each other.
Sizarla continued to purr happily as she lounged on Raiden’s back. She was content and happy, and that was all she could ask for in that moment.

(Yeah I can start. As for the other interaction, want to skip to later or something? Or some time ahead?)
Mysha was currently tending to a few matters from the main fortress, lately having been taking things easier. Until she had the baby, she couldn't be out and about like before.

((Whatever you’d like to do! We could skip to that evening and the dragons could go for their walk or we could skip ahead a week or so and have them explore some more and have explored in the time during the skip))
Drake had been taking care of business outside their main building for a while but was now returning to his wife’s side, sitting in his throne beside her. “Hey sweetie. How are you feeling?” He asked, leaning over and lightly kissing Mysha’s cheek.
Shard had been keeping careful watch over the kids since the last interaction with Xandrite. He was still nervous about what she might become, but she was also still his daughter. Right now he was watching Pyre and Scaws practice their hunting in the plains near the fort.

(We can skip to the dragons having their walk :3)
Mysha smiled softly and said "Well enough. I'm still getting used to taking things easy. It's... different, but I'm glad I have you with me."
Magna was sitting beside Shard, watching her brothers. She had considered joining them but decided against it in the end.

Post by AshLightning on Jul 31, 2020 21:32:10 GMT -5
((Ok!))
Drake chuckled a bit and nodded, gently holding Mysha’s hand as they sat together. “I bet. We’ve had such adventurous lives it must be hard to settle down.” He murmured, looking to Mysha again. “But if you need anything, even if it’s an itch you can’t reach, tell me right away and I’ll do whatever I need to to make you happy.” He said warmly.
Shard watched the two young males as they hunted, cored ting their form when needed but for the most part they could hunt as they wanted. He slowly bent his head down and licked his daughter’s head a couple times. “How are you doing today, Magnus?” He asked gently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
That evening, after the ragtag group had found a place to bed down for the night, Sizarla looked to Raiden and purred softly to him, nuzzling his chin. “Want to go on that walk we talked about, Raiden?” She asked warmly.
Alekar has settled into the guest common area of the motel they were staying in for the night with a book in his hand. “We’ll be fine if you two want to go. Have a good time.” He said happily.

Mysha smiled warmly. "I know, and I'm so lucky to have you, you know that?" She looked thoughtful as she said "You'll be a great father. I'm hoping I'll be a good mother. I'm excited, but nervous too..."
Magna shrugged her shoulders a little and said "I'm fine... just thinking." She looked up at Shard and asked "Can I go down into the city today? If Scaws and Pyre come with me?" She just wanted to visit, nothing out of the ordinary.
~~~~~~
Raiden nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be nice." He then looked as Alekar spoke, Laugai nodding in agreement as he settled down in another chair. The male dragon churred softly before telling Sizarla "Well then, let's go!"

Drake grinned as he held Mysha‘s hand and he leaned over, kissing her cheek. “Mysha, you’ll be a fantastic mother. No question, you’ll be terrific.” He replied happily. “And it’s only natural to be nervous. I am too. But it’ll all be worth it.” He said gently.
Shard thought about it for a moment then nodded, roasting a fly that was buzzing around his head. “I suppose it’s alright. But you three must stay together and be home before dark falls.” He replied.
——— Sizarla grinned as Raiden made sounds at her and she replied to them with her own. She then led the way out of the building they were in and immediately took to the air, growing to her full, normal size once they were far enough away from the buildings and prying eyes.

Mysha nodded in agreement. "It will. I can't wait, honestly. To have a little one running up and down the halls. It definitely won't always be easy, but still satisfying nonetheless."
Magna smiled at this. "Thank you!" She nuzzled her dad gently before going over to her brothers to tell them the news just as Ma'ait settled down beside Shard.
~~~~~~
Raiden also changed size when it was safe to, following after Sizarla. He easily caught up to her, smiling softly as he said "Finally, some alone time, yes?"

Drake chuckled and nodded. “Yes, you’re right. It won’t be easy, and heaven knows we’ll make mistakes. But I’m so excited.” He said happily, holding his wife’s hand a bit tighter. “Now, shall we get on with official business?”
Shard looked up as his mate landed next to him and he purred happily, nuzzling her neck a bit. “Hi love.” He murmured happily.
Scaws was just coming up behind a small rabbit, intent on catching it, while Pyre was trying to sniff out a scent he hadn’t tracked down yet.
————————
Sizarla nodded and trilled loudly in happiness. “Yes, finally some time to ourselves. It’s gonna be a nice night.” She said happily, doing a barrel roll around the male as they flew, just to show her excitement and maybe show off a little bit. She grinned at Raiden and continued to fly, wondering where they should go

Mysha nodded. "Of course." Even though their duties got hectic or stressful sometimes, she was glad she had Drake there with her.
Ma'ait purred softly before saying "Hey." She nuzzled him back before looking over to their hatchlings. "They'll be so excited when they catch something like their first deer or the like."
Magna noticed her brothers hunting intently and she decided to wait, not wanting to mess them up.
~~~~~~~
Raiden watched Sizarla as she flew, deciding to do a few tricks of his own. After, he said "I know a good place we can go, of you'll follow me."

Drake just slowly settled into his chair again. “Did anything interesting happen while I was outside?” He asked, looking around the room.
Shard nodded with a loud purr of happiness, curling his tail around his mate’s. “Yes they’ll be quite excited when that happens. I know I was.” He said happily. “How are you doing?” He asked softly.
Scaws eventually darted towards his quarry and managed to pounce on it, while Pyre turned tail and walked back towards his parents when he couldn’t find anything else. He soon spotted his sister and grinned, trotting over to her. “Heya!” He said happily.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sizarla trilled loudly with glee when Raiden showed some of his own tricks as they flew along. As Raiden mentioned going somewhere, Sizarla nodded and fell behind a bit to follow. “Lead on, Raiden!” She replied happily.

Mysha shook her head. "No, nothing interesting. Just some reports being given from patrols."
Ma'ait sighed a little before saying "I'm well. Haven't been out with Mysha in a while, I miss those trips already."
Magna purred happily at her brother and said "Hi! Did you catch anything?"
~~~~~~~
Raiden smiled before flying ahead. He led her over to a more secluded area, looking around at the forestry as it stretched across the ground and some hills.

Drake nodded a couple times. “Alright then. What else do we have on the schedule for today?” He asked, looking to one of their advisors nearby.
Shard nodded and slowly cuddled his mate close and wrapped a wing over her and nuzzled his neck. “I know sweetie. Next time Drake and I go out I’ll make sure you can come along.” He offered as they cuddled.
Pyre smiled a little bit. “Just a squirrel and a mouse. Scaws is a better hunter than me really.” He said, looking over as his brother came over with a squirrel in his mouth.
~~~~~~
Sizarla looked around as they flew over the secluded forest. “When did you find this place, Raiden? It looks amazing.” She said.

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 13, 2020 1:52:00 GMT -5
The advisers gave report of a few usual matters concerning the people or trade, but also a rise in troubles around the edges of the territory and from allies.
Ma'ait smiled at this. "Thanks, love. I'm not stuck here or anything, but it's still... different, I guess. Not going on regular flights with Mysha, but she has her baby to worry about. I can wait though." She wanted her companion to worry about her future son or daughter!
Magna said they both did great. She then gave a look of mock pride as she said "I would've done twice as good though. Just saying!"
~~~~~~~
Raiden churred before saying "While I was out exploring the first time Laugai and I passed through. I always like to scope out areas we visit, to get a lay of the land but also to explore. And it paid off today as a quick pick for us to visit! And that means more time to spend paying attention to each other!"

Drake sighed, rubbing his chin a little bit. “Things are getting more and more worrisome. We need to deal with this as soon as we can.” He said slowly.
Shard nodded slowly and gently rubbed his mate's belly with his large paw. “I image this is the same way Mysha felt when you were close to laying the eggs of our precious babies.” He murmured lightly to her before licking her cheek and chin. “I love you so much, Ma’ait....” He murmured.
Pyre and Scaws each gave the other a glance. “I don’t think so!” Pyre said, leaping at her legs while Scaws dropped his squirrel and leaped at his sister’s side so they could hopefully knock Magna down and pin her.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sizarla trilled loudly with happiness and she moved to be flying over Raiden’s back, leaning her head down and nuzzling his neck and head. “You’re such a romantic, Raiden! You’re so kind.” She said happily before flying beside Raiden again. She knew this was going to be a good night, just the two of them being able to talk and be with each other. “Where should we land, Raiden?” She asked.

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 20, 2020 19:48:29 GMT -5
Mysha nodded in agreement. "Yes, we need to figure something out before another war or something starts. We really don't need that, even if we can trust our people to fight."
Ma'ait churred happily and nuzzled Shard. "And I love you. I am so lucky to have met the best dragon around!"
Magna yelped as her brothers "attacked" her, toppling over and wriggling playfully as she tried to free herself.
~~~~~~~
Raiden smiled before looking around. "I know a good spot where we can go, just follow me." He began to glide toward a nice little enclosure, a clearing mapped by trees but still providing view of the sky.

“Agreed. We’ll need to get a preparation meeting in order so we can figure out what next steps will be.” Drake said, nodding to one of the advisors in a motion that said ‘make it happen’ as he then turned back to Mysha. “But no matter what, we will make it. Together.”
Shard grinned as Ma’ait nuzzled him and his tail slowly moved back and forth. “Awww thanks love. And I’m so glad I got to meet the prettiest, most beautiful dragon ever. And I get to call her my mate.” He said, just wanting to shower affection on Ma’ait.
Scaws and Pyre laughed happily as they pawed are their sister for a few moments before hoping off to let her up. They both knew that teaming up together against Magna was a bit unfair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sizarla nodded and followed Raiden towards the clearing. She glided down and then nearly landed and sniffed the air, loving all the scents of the forest. “Raiden this spot is perfect!” She said happily, beginning to circle the area to just look around and see what was in the clearing.

Magna sniffed as she sat up. "Ha! See, you were totally scared and retreated. I'm clearly the strongest!" She sat with mock proudness, puffing out her chest as she did.
~~~~~~~
Raiden smiled and said "Yes, nice and secluded. Quiet too, so we have some privacy and can enjoy the view!" He didn't want any interruptions, just wanting to spend time with Sizarla alone. Their humans were of course their best friends, but this was different.

Post by AshLightning on Aug 26, 2020 7:37:52 GMT -5
Pyre rolled his eyes, lightly whacking Magna’s side with his tail and her muzzle with his paw. “Suuuure. Keep telling yourself that.” He said playfully.
Scaws just watched the two and he rolled his eyes. “Anyway, what should we do now?” He asked.
~~~~~~~
Sizarla nodded happily, tail waving a bit. All of a sudden she got a bit flirtatious and she circled the male once, rubbing her cheek and side along his scales. “Well I must say the view is already very handsome.” She said with a giggle. She lightly licked his snout and purred as she pressed her nose to his. “And you’re right, being alone together is much better.” She whispered to him happily.

Magna then said "Oh, papa said we could go into town today! We have to stick together though. Just in case something happens!"
Raiden churred deeply, breathing in Sizarla's scent as he said "Indeed. We can enjoy our time together without... company." He chuckled at this. "Alekar and Laugai are good friends, but this is... different."
|
|
|
Post by AshLightning on Sept 4, 2020 7:08:19 GMT -5
Pyre and Scaws each seemed to perk up at the idea of going down into town and away from the fort. “Then let’s go now!” Pyre said excitedly, while Scaws was already stretching out his wings to take off.
Sizarla nodded a few times and chirped softly with happiness as Raiden breathed her scent and she breathed in his. “Yes... Alekar and Laugai are great.... but this time is ours.” She whispered to him happily, moving a bit and wrapping her tail around his a couple times. She lightly moved her head to the side and licked up his neck a few times. “You’re very handsome, Raiden. You know that?” She said softly.

Post by Smokey Feather on Sept 21, 2020 12:22:28 GMT -5
Magna nodded in agreement, spreading her wings and taking off. She wanted to go see her friends in the commons, especially the other dragons.
Raiden raised a brow at this. "Oh, am I? Why thank you, and you're quite beautiful as well, Sizarla." It had been quite a while since he'd been interested in anyone else, not since he and his now deceased mate had been together.
