Drake felt his cheeks flush and a growl of happiness sounded deep in his chest as he was kissed. “Awww shucks I’m not all that great.” He said awkwardly, putting his other hand behind his head. As they walked out into the camp, and the people all turned and started cheering, Drake and Shard each stood tall, with Arcane sitting and wagging his stubby tail which had been curiously snipped to be that short when he emerged from the stone.
Shard looked around at the mass of people and he stayed beside Ma’ait and purred to her softly while still sitting tall and proud.

Mysha looked around at the crowd, as many people cramming in as possible to see their new leader and her... friend. Rhayne stepped up, saying "We were led by a demon for thirty years! Forced to kill innocent dragons for generations, but that stops today! The bone has been a sign of evil only because they believed that dragons were not demons, were not vicious animals!" He glanced back at Mysha and Drake. "Mysha now sits as our chieftess, with Drake as her Champion! They will lead us to destroy only evil beings, and anyone who has a problem with this is free to speak now!" No one spoke up, probably because opposed wanted to be more secretive. Mysha nodded a little before speaking up. "It's high time we become known for something else than running a species into rarity. The Dogs give us power to fight off evil, not terrorize innocent lives! Anyone who is caught doing so will be punished according to severity!" She paused. "I hope I only have to execute enemies. Not my own people."

Shard and Arcane turned as Mysha and her uncle spoke and Drake stood nearby his leaderband close friend. He didn’t feel like he needed to speak or had anything to speak about. He couldn’t believe how much of a commanding aura Mysha exerted, and he couldn’t wait to start serving both her and the people they were in charge of.
Shard nodded in agreement to all that the humans spoke of. They finally didn’t have to run, and were now in a place where most humans actually would accept them.

Mysha smiled slightly as they were met with more praise. Smiling, she rested her head on Drake's shoulder. Rhayne was smiling widely as he looked around, saying "Spread word of this new leadership! Tonight is time for celebrating and a new time for us as a people!" People immediately began moving about, eager to get word out, which would definitely take some time. That meant multiple days of celebration, which was definitely alright. Everyone just needed a break from everything that's happened and the time of bloodshed that was to be left behind. Rhayne turned to the pair. "I would recommend that you celebrate with your people, but there's bitter snakes slithering around and I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something. Your fun can be had within these fort walls, I'm sure." Mysha frowned a bit, but nodded. She had wanted to be among the people, but Rhayne was right. No need to take such risk, even with Drake protecting her.

Drake nodded solemnly. Even with their power and dominance there was still prudent risk to being outside the fort. He looked over at Mysha and kissed her head softly. “Once Everything dies down, my leader, we can go and mingle with the people.” He said as he rubbed her side lightly. “Let’s just enjoy our time of celebration here.”
Arcane, seeing that they were basically done with talk, snuck around to the leader’s dog and pawed at it playfully.

Mysha hummed in agreement, watching as Rhayne moved off to go sniff out the staff and servants tending the fort to make accommodation for celebration. He and his soldiers would be there, so at least there was some company, though she didn't mind too much as long as Drake was there. Then, she turned to go back inside, Ligach taking time to bend down and paw Arcane back before he noticed his human was leaving. He barked happily at the boxer as if to say "follow me!" before trotting after them. Even Beta and Zeta followed after the group, leaving Ma'ait and Shard outside. Tail twitching, the dragoness said "So... want to... go somewhere private? Take a flight?"

Arcane barked happily and followed after his master, his master’s apparent master, and her dog. Drake was still beside Mysha, holding her hand and smiled softly. “Is there anything you’d like to do? Have a feast, a ball, anything?” He asked.
Shard’s tail twitched and he warbled loudly with love. He leaned in and licked her cheek a few times. “Sounds great, love. But let’s fly far away so the humans won’t get to us. Maybe the mountains nearby?”

Mysha smiled at the suggestions. "I think a feast will do. I'd want to join in on the dancing for a ball, but I feel like shit right now." One of the soldiers seemed to hear the mention of feast to be the decision, and rushed off with the promise to have the cooks gets started, with Rhayne already gone to get other preparations done. Mysha looked up at Drake, saying "As long as you're with me though, I don't think I'll mind too much what ends up happening."
Ma'ait nodded in agreement before spreading her wings. Flying into the air, she headed toward the mountains. Smiling, she was glad that they would have some privacy finally. She was sure their riders could do without them for a while.

“As you wish.” Ocean said as e walked over to the pot and picked it up after a little struggle, going to fill the pot like she asked. Thorn’s eyes narrowed and he stood up. “Am I really that transparent?” He asked, tail falling still. “Yes, I guess I was. He’s been snooping around here every other day at least.” Amanda giggled before she went over and helped him lift the pot to the sink to fill with water. "He is not like them Thorn," Scarlet said with a reassuringly look. |

Drake growled happily at her last statement and he held her closer. “Mmmm and what could that be? This... ‘what happens later’ thing.” He asked as he looked deep into her eyes. He was excited for a feast, but he honestly wanted to know what she had in store for later.
Staying close to her as they flew, Shard growled happily. “This will be a good night, love.” He said happily, spewing a few hot flames into the air.

Ocean smiled as Amanda helpednhim and together they got it to the sink. “Thanks.” He said, beginning to fill the pot.
“Isn’t he? He lived in the cities where all those bad humans did. He could easily be playing us all.” Thorn replied.

Mysha looked up at him mischeviously. "Mmm... you'll just have to wait and see." She kissed his cheek again before looking over, Rhayne having showed up to say "Save it for later, you two. You've got some people to meet and fun to have. And I'm sure you're hungry, so we've got some small stuff set out already to tide over until the actual food comes out." Mysha sighed before following after her uncle, her hand still grasping Drake's.
Ma'ait purred as Shard spoke, flying beside him to the mountains. Upon arriving, she looked around font a good place to land. Finding an area hidden well by some trees, she touched down in the grass and looked over at Shard.

Drake smiled when they were told to go to the place where the food was and he laughed as Mysha towed him along. He got back to walking beside her, watching as Arcane caught up too. He continued to hold Mysha’s hand as they made it to the food and he looked around at the large amount of people already around.
Shard smiled as he landed beside Ma’ait and he looked around. “This is perfect, Ma’ait.” He growled to her, licking his chin and he rubbed on her side a little bit before sniffing around for a good place to lay down.

Rhayne led the pair and their dogs to the main table in the large room. After Mysha and Drake sat, the people in the room began to wander over to officially greet them. Rhayne's soldiers were still in their armor, but the people who actually came from there were in nicer clothing, though bones were still incorporated, but mainly as necklaces, bracelets and even a few had piercings. Mysha seemed happy as she talked with them, though she held Drake's hand the whole time, finding comfort to help with so many people around.
Ma'ait smiled gently. When they found a good spot, she warbled lovingly as she began rubbing herself against him, nuzzling his neck and twining their tails together happily.

Drake smiled as they sat down together and he held her hand the whole time. Occasionally he’d pop a grape in his mouth or offer her some food and feed it to her if she wanted it. He greeted each person as they came up, smiling as he noticed the two dogs sniffing around for any trouble.
Shard growled happily as their tails twined together and he rubbed against her excitedly as she rubbed on him. He also licked her all over and nuzzled her too. “Mine.” He growled.

Mysha seemed content as they talked with the others, but she blinked as they parted to allow someone to walk up. Judging by his sooty, rugged form Mysha concluded he was a blacksmith. "Gifts, for the chieftess and her Champion," he said nervously. First, he brought out a sword. It was a black sort of metal, with a good hilt and markings etched into the blade. It was still a little warm cause he just finished cooling it before, holding it out to Drake. "Bring it in when you have time and we can get it enchanted." He waited to see what they thought before he brought out Mysha's gift.
Ma'ait chirped, almost like a mating call as she pressed against Shard happily. "Yours," she warbled, chirping again as she looked up at him lovingly, licking his chin.

Drake watched as the man approached, and he silently called over his guardian Dog Arcane to make sure nothing fishy was happening. Upon seeing even Arcane wasn’t reacting angrily he smiled and slowly reached forward and took the sword in hand, examining it. “Thank you. Thank you very much, sir...” he paused, waiting for a name.
Shard growled happily to his beloved as she let it a form of mating call and he replied with his own, letting out a low, warbling cooing sound as he wrapped his limbs around her and licked her back. “Are you comfortable?” He asked, wanting to make sure she wasn’t hurting before they continued.

The man seemed to notice Drake waiting for a name. "Roran," he said, bowing his head a little "The head blacksmith of the fort." He managed a slight smile before continuing "And this is for our new leader. The rest is a... work in progress, but this was what I could do in the time given." He brought out a helmet, with metal similar to what made Drake's sword. However, there were... bones. A skull, to be exact, the piece broken up at the sutures into plates and markings etched in to reinforce the boney armor. Mysha didn't even have to ask to find out who the skull belonged to, taking the helmet and staring at the facial bones that completed the mask part of it. "I still had your old helmet from before you left... I just made another going off of those measurements." He looked at them both. "Our people will go far with you two at the helm."
Ma'ait purred softly, cooing encouragingly as Shard spoke. Nodding, she said "Yes." Keeping their tails twined together, her wings twitched in anticipation as she waited for him to... well, you know. (Skip? XD)

Drake nodded to Roran as he introduced himself then he let Mysha’s hand go so she could inspect the helmet. He listened to all the man had to say and he nodded approvingly. “Thank you, Roran. It’s good to know of someone who approves of the new leadership.” He said in a friendly way, letting Mysha have time to inspect her helmet. He too knew what bones were part of it, but he didn’t bother pressing the matter.
((Yuppp)) After a long time of love between the two dragons, Shard eventually began to calm down. He was still pressed close to his female, licking her neck and cheek slowly. “You’re such a wonderful female, Ma’ait.” He mumbled.

Mysha nodded her head in thanks. "Thank you, Roran, for both your gifts and your words. Hopefully most of the people will accept us as you do." The smith dipped his head before moving to leave and talk with the others. Mysha went back to looking at the helmet, setting it on the table and running her fingers over the bones. "I'm going to have a new weapon made," she stated simply "Once I get the components I need for it." Tapping a spot on her back, where her kidney had been removed, she said "That flying rat was the one to who removed it." And his bones would help make her new spear, once she had him hunted down. "That's not first priority right now though," she decided, her hand once again grasping Drake's. It was then that, for whatever reason, she registered that their dragons were gone. Snorting, she said thoughtfully "I think our dragons are luckier than we are right now, you know."
Ma'ait cooed softly, rubbing their snouts together before licking his cheek. "And you're the best male I'll ever know." Resting against him, she just took some time to calm down, eyes half-lidded in a doze.

Drake watched as Mysha talked with Roran about catching and killing Ghio either adorable. He’d noticed that in the recent days she’d become much more bloodthirsty. But he didn’t deny that he felt the same way. And he also knew that as time went on that feeling would only grow. Drake had noticed his dragon was missing about the same time as Mysha, now holding her hand again. Drake snorted amusedly at her comment and he leaned in towards her ear. “Don’t worry, we still have allllll night.” He murmured happily to her with a playful grin.
Shard smiled and lounged beside her and went into the same kind of half-doze. He snuggled close to her and settled down some more. “My love...” he mumbled.

Mysha raised a brow as Drake whispered in her ear. Tease. Getting an idea, she moved press a kiss to his lips. It was brief, but teasing enough. She smiled coyly after pulling away, murmuring "I'm looking forward to it." She then looked as the actual food was brought out, everyone looking curiously as the cooks brought out everything from entrees to desserts, and she snickered to herself a little, studying the sweets for after the meal. "I've got a different idea for dessert now though," she said with a smirk, lightly poking Drake's side.
Ma'ait yawned as they rested, blinking slowly. "I'm glad we've got somewhere to stay," she decided "But I think, if we start seeing signs of young in me, we should move ourselves here, where I can safely have them, and bring them back when they are strong enough." She trusted most of the humans there, but there was a tiny part of her that wanted to be entirely sure their young would be safe.

Drake was about to add something when she suddenly kissed him and he growled happily during the brief kiss. As the food was brought out and Mysha purposely teased him and he shifted closer and growled into her ear softly to tease her. “Mmm so do I. My idea for dessert is beautiful and covered in leadership.” He said playfully before turning back to the food. He smiled and began taking some of the food set before them, and often asked Mysha if she wanted anything. He had a continually growing feeling of devotion for his leader, and he didn’t ever want to leave her side.
Shard nodded slowly and he rubbed his head on her a bit. “I’ll help you do whatever you feel is right. If you want to besr them here and wait to take them home I’ll stay with you. I’m yours forever, Ma’ait. I just want to make sure you’re happy in whatever you do.”

Mysha seemed to do well in keeping herself relatively composed, but she wasn't sure how much longer she could wait. Surely Rhayne would find an excuse once she and Drake wanted to retreat for the night. Apparently, from what she was told, Rhayne was busy having the main quarters of the leader cleared of the previous' belongings. So for now, she just contented herself with where she was at the moment, sharing a meal with Drake and the others, everyone relaxed for once.
Ma'ait chirped softly. "You just being here makes me happy. And we will be even happier once we have young running around." She was already wondering what they would look like, or what powers they would get. Shaking her head in amusement, she sighed in content. "I wish every moment was this great," she murmured, but such hopes were impossible unfortunately.

Drake was also starting to struggle with keeping himself composed, his hand holding hers occasionally letting go to rub her side or belly. But he managed to enjoy the current festivities, contenting himself with eating and occasionally feeding Arcane. He also tried to feed Mysha occasionally, in case she wanted any. Holding his hand the whole time wouldn’t fill her belly. “I’d almost like to dance if we had some music and such.” He commented, shoving a spoonful of some delicious soup into his mouth.
Shard chuckled and licked her some more. “Our peace only lasts so long, my love. So we must savor each moment.” He mumbled to her, still keeping her close. “I can’t wait to be a father... especially with you as the mother.” He mumbled as he licked her and rubbed his paws on her.

"Next time," Mysha said with a little laugh. "Once we're settled in, we can see to having a proper ball or something." Plus, she really was just content at that moment with how things were. Definitely once she got a little more settled though, an event would be arranged cause why not. So, she just focused on the food, which Drake was nice enough to help her with. Eventually, Rhayne showed up, telling them "Your room is all set up now, whenever you two want to go... take a look. Ligach followed me there, so he can show you two the way." He looked over to the hound, who had snagged some meat off of the table and set it down for Arcane to have, like a partner in crime as he went back to looking for other goodies for himself that were close to the edge of the tables.
Ma'ait cooed happily as Shard loved on her. "You're too good for me," she purred softly. "But I can't imagine life without you now. Looks like you're stuck with me." She smiled in amusement before lightly butting his shoulder with her snout.

Drake nodded in agreement. He was content with the way things were for the time being, but eventually they’d have to plan something else. Looking up at Mysha’s uncle came back and told them the news, Drake smiled a little and kissed Mysha briefly. “Well? Whaddya say?” He asked. Meanwhile, Arcan was on the ground snuffling around when Ligach dropped some meat for him. He barked a Thanks and started vigorously chewing on the meat, clearly happy.
Shard laughed at her comment. “Stuck is a bad word to describe it. More like... permanently bonded to you in love and devotion.” He replied as he nuzzled her and loved on her more. “And just like you, I can’t imagine being with anyone else ever for the rest of our lives.” He murmured as he licked her cheek a couple times and purred to her.

Mysha nodded a little, looking rather shy as she said "... okay." She then got up with Drake, telling Ligach to show them where to go. The hound wooded lightly, chewing on more meat before turning and walking off to lead the two humans to the room, already knowing where they wanted to go.
Ma'ait chirped happily, just resting against Shard again. "Should we stay here for the night?" she asked curiously, rolling onto her side a bit, still watching Shard with her golden gaze. "Or should we see about heading back?"

Drake was already blushing as they got up together and he followed Ligach worh Mysha by his side. He whistled for Arcane and he hopped to his paws and ran after his master and the other two, soon catching up and tail bobbing happily. Drake gently held Mysha close and he kissed her cheek a couple times while growling to her, trying to make her relax.
Shard whine softly and looked st his... mate?. “I kinda want to stay here for a while, love. That way I don’t hace to share you.” He said playfully as he gazed into her eyes. “But I’ll do whatever you want.”

Mysha felt herself relax a little at Drake's efforts, but part of her was still nervous. Once they reached the room, the door open, she looked around curiously. Before going in though, she told Ligach "Alright, you and Arcane go ahead and go have fun." Ligach almost looked suspiciously at Drake before sneezing and turning away, doing as told and making sure Arcane was following to give their masters some privacy. Once they were gone, Mysha sheepishly smiled at Drake before going into the room with him, closing the door behind them. It was definitely nice, with a large space, furnishing and a few paintings set about. There of course was a bed, which Mysha studied, with sheets set over and fur blankets that looked extra warm and comfy. Turning to look at Drake, she still looked a little nervous.
Ma'ait nodded once, saying "Stay it is then. We haven't had any time to ourselves lately anyway. I want to enjoy it while it lasts." She leaned so their snouts touched briefly before saying "Plus, I don't want to share you for a while either."
