"Mother, mother come quick, father need help. O'Brien is hurt and needs you" A boy with wild red locks runs into his family den. In human years he looks about 9 but in dragon he was 450 years old.
"What has the leprechaun done now. Seems he is always getting himself hurt" She wipes her hand and follows her son out the door.
They both ran down the path to the leprechaun meadow to find Ailill's father kneeling down next to a small man with a snow white beard. The man was bloody from head to toe.
"What happened to him this time Decimus?"
"Delphyne, he got into it with a badger, if the stoat* had not found me it would be to late."
She knelt down and cupped his face. She started to hum a soft melody then blew out a soft pink flame that covered O'Brien's body.
Aillecht love to watch his mother's healing powers he wished sometime he could be a dragon like her but his powers were in the water.
O'Brien coughed a few times than sat up. "Tell me the buggard is dead"
"Sorry mate, he got away and if not for your stoat I would of been puting you six feet under while the banshee would of called for your ride." Decimus slapped his friend on the back.
"You need to be more careful O'Brien please. One of these day my draiocht may not help you." Delphyne stated. "Come have supper with us."
"I have to get back to my people. but Thank you I will join you another time." with that he faded out of sight.
Aillecht took his mothers hand to walk home as his father followed behind.
Days and years followed with Aillecht father teaching him how to use his powers and his mother teaching him how to live. He loved his life.
◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇
Right before Aillecht turned 500 he was watching his mother and father chase each other around laughing then turn into their dragons and chased each other in the sky.
His mother Delphyne was a Blue and gold dragon who could heal almost anything with her fire. His father Decimus was a green and brown dragon, he could track anything on the ground or in the sky.
"Mother when can I get a mate?" Ailill asked.
"Most young dragon don't even think about a mate till about age 2000. However I pray the you find your true mate. "
"What's a true mate?"
"When dragons were born in the beginning of time before they joined with shifters they were created with one mate just for them. Sometimes they find them easy, but most surch for years for them. You father and I are true mates. We belong together." Ailill listened very carefully to his mother.
"I want a true mate. How can I find one. I have never even seen other dragon. "
" This is true, I don't know if there are any more." She was afraid he would never find love at all. Dragons were being hunted all over and the life of dragons were not being born.
"Decimus, It's time to teach him about slayers."
"Yes, it is time. Come son we need to talk." Ailill walked over to his father and was placed on his lap."
"As you know our home is protected by leprechaun and fairy draiocht but it is growing weak. There is a shifter with no dragon who was jealous of the dragon. A great evil magician help him make a weapon that not only kills the shifter but the dragon in side."
"I need to teach you what to do if the slayer come and you have to get away with out your mother or I."
"But father why, you are the strongest Dragon I know" Ailill was confused.
"The weapon is stronger then the dragon"
Over the next few years Ailill trained on flighting, swimming, cooking, and gathering horde. His father took him to an isle with some of the family horde. He showed him how to put spells out for hidding this world from others.
Ailill learned everything he could. He thought her was ready for the slayer.
Delphyne also taught Ailill about manors and taking care of him and a mate. During one of her lessons she felt sick.
"Aillecht, please tell you father I need to see the fairy Rose."
"Yes Mother" Ailill ran to see his father.
It took some time to track the fairy but after a quick look she said" Nothing bad Delphyne you are just with child. A dragon child. "
It was very uncommon for a dragon to have two children and both be dragon. She was blessed.
She spent her days getting ready to nest while still teaching him to help himself.
Then not to long after Ailill had his 500th birthday a loud cry was heard. Decimus ran out to see what was going on, he was only gone a moment when her ran back in. "Aillecht, remember what you learned, Dragon inside my son please watch over him. Keep both your self alive. Now go Ailill fly to the isle now."
" No father let me help?" Ailill pleaded.
"You made me a premise to always stay safe. You know the way now go." With that word promise he took to the sky. Three days later his dragon would not let him shifter but instead made him fall into a deep dreamless sleep.
When Ailill woke up he was now a young man. He was not sure how old he was now but guessed by his reflection in the lagoon to be about 2000.
He flew back home to find out information on his parents. They were not in their home. The horde was still there.
He went looking for his fathers leprechaun friend. It took some time to find O'Brien.
"Uncle do you know what happened to Mother and Father?"
"Sorry buachaill*, Come with me" O'Brien led the young man to two graves.
"The slayer got them. I had my people bury them hear."
Ailill spent a few days crying for his loss, then gathered his family's horde like his father taught him. It took three trips to move it all. When he was through his dragon put him back to sleep.
Every few thousand years Ailill woke up and looked around the world and gathered more horde then went back to sleep.
This had become his life. In all this time he never found another dragon or heard of a slayer still out there. He never considered him self lonely till a flying plane blew up.
Stoat also known as the short-tailed weasel or simply the weasel in Ireland Wikipedia
The Banshee was a woman who carried with her an omen of death. Sometimes you saw the Banshee as an old woman dressed in rags, sometimes you saw her as a young and beautiful girl and sometimes you saw her as a wash woman, ringing out bloody clothing. Whenever she was seen, she let out a horrible cry and legend has it this cry brought death to any family that heard it.

A four year old girl jumping the bed pretending to fly. "Mommy watch me fly, mommy you looking?"
"Susan please be careful." Mary grabbed the child and put her on the ground.
"Mommy I want to fly. The dragon in me likes its." Susan gives her mom puppy eyes.
"Susan, stay off the beds. Its dangerous to jump on them. Beds are for sleeping only." Mary is always tired these day. Having four year as active as her daughter and her always wanting to fly, Mary just could not keep up.
Susan was an energetic child. She loved to explore her world but lately her mother was always tired. The only companion during the day was the voice in her heart. The voice claimed to be dragon. Susan could feel her the most while jumping and running.
At night she had her father to play with.
"Daddy, Is mommy ok. She does not play anymore and sometimes is to tired to make me lunch?"
"My little suzie Q, Mommy has a illness that makes her really tired"Her father ,Bill, pulled her to his lap.
"Can't the mean doctor man make her better, he made me better?"
"He is trying, Little we just have to take it easy on her."Bill said.
A few days later the Doctor wanted them to take Mary to port City to see a specialist, so Bill packed everything off and they moved.
" Mommy, I made you a glass of tea." Susan handed her a small cup of ice tea.
"Thank you my little dragon you take good care of your mommy." Mary said. She felt bad she was not getting better.
" Susan Mommy wants to tell you something." She pulled Susan on to her lap. "You know Mommy is sick?"
Susan shook her head. "But you will get better mommy"
" Susan, mommy is not getting well. I soon will go to heaven to be with you nana and pop pop. But before I go I want to tell you what you nana told me before she left."
"First, always be yourself never let others change who you are."
"Never owe anyone if you can help, pay all your debts. "
"Never settle for less then true love many men will say they love you but listen to your heart and head and together they will agree on you true love."
"Mommy, Boys are yucky, I only love you and daddy." Susan says.
"Someday you will want more." Mary was tired again. "mommy is going to have a nap so play quietly .
"Ok mommy I'll be good." Susan went to her room to play until her father came home.
Mary lasted another year before her body just gave up. Leaving Bill to raise Susan alone.
◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇
Susan was always a happy child and very easy to raised. She claimed until she was made fun of that a dragon lived inside her. Once she stopped talking to her voice, she soon forgot that it even happend. But the feeling to fly was always there.
"Daddy, can we go watch the air show?" Susan asked.
"Sure baby lets go" Bill pulled out his keys and they left for the air fields.
They watched all the planes come and go. There were even the blue angels doing tricks. She was in heaven and her dad seen the lite in her eyes. He had a friend who would give lessons so he would find out how much and when she was old enough to start her on lessons.
Susan spent all her free time getting all the information she could on planes. She learned them in and out.
Susan got to start lessons on her 14th birthday. She looked forward to Saturday to come each week.
She got really good on flying and fixing them.
On her 18th birthday she got her pilots license. She spend all her time working in the sheds at the field saving her money for this old sea plane that was for sale.
It needed work but she was willing to put in the time to have her own plane.
The summer of her 21st birthday, the owner invited her to a poker game where he would play her for the plane.
He really would of just given it to her but he from working with her, he knew she would not except it. After an hour of playing he lost the plane to her. She had no idea he planed it that way.
She now had the plane, and money to fix her up. A year later she was make money flying passengers around the port and the island around them.
This was until her father got sick. She had less time time to work having to take care of him.
"I fine baby girl, go fly now." He would say.
" Dad last time I left I came back to you passed out and you spent two days in the hospital. I can fly when you are really better. " She was working on his lunch.
"Baby girl, I love you. How was I so lucky to get a child like you." he curled on the couch watching her.
His bills soon drained all their saving and when he passed she sold off everything of value. Only her baby was left.
She worked hard but hated to be this deep in debt so she broke down to sell. It did not take long before a buyer was found and she would take one last fight before getting grounded.
The money would be enough to bring down the debt and she could pay what out within a year.
She took her last fight to a isle she discovered a year ago. This would be the last time for a while to visit so she wanted to climb up its small mountain to a cave she seen. One last adventure before she went to working 18 hour days to play off the bill within a years.
One last adventure with her beloved sea plane. In honor of her mother and father who raised her.
Then the storm it and her plane was gone, and a crazy man rescued her.
