"I know you like me," Aurora spoke after she collected one of her more advanced books.
Setting it down on the reading podium gently as she flipped through to whatever page she'd been studying before.
"Why aren't you acting on it?" she asked slowly.
"You're younger then me," I was surprised by how forward she was being.
"Not by much," she kept her eyes on her book, "I can tell."
"More then you think," I settled with my head facing away from her, "Has Goliath told you my story?"
"No," her tone betrayed her interest, but she kept her eyes on her book.
"I lived nearly sixteen years as a human before I became a dragon," I stated bluntly, "I wasn't born the same way you were. I have no intention on making any advances on a child much younger then myself."
I found the mature way I said this somewhat amusing considering how much I struggled to keep her enticing form out of my mind.
"You worry too much about too little time," the quiet sound of a page flipping, "Dragons live for hundreds of years. Ten, twenty, even fifty years mean very little in a life that long."
"But for a human that is a long time," I sighed, "I lived as a human, and I haven't completely forgotten that mindset." I shifted slightly, my eyes still looking away from her, "I don't think I will any time soon either."
"Such a foolish human way of thinking," the feeling of her breath on the back of my neck made my scales stand on end with more pleasure then I cared to admit, "Maybe that's why I want you for my own." her breath warmed as she moved even closer, "Make no mistake Wyatt Nix. I will have you as my own eventually. I see no other males in my future." she flicked her tongue close to my scales without actually touching me, "I've known it since the beginning, and so will you when more females come." she drew away, "Although I am not foolish enough to push you more then necessary."
"What do you deem as necessary?" I turned my head slightly to look at her still form as she returned to reading.
"I find that what I've been doing is plenty," she flicked to the next page using the back of her talon.
There was none of the childishness I'd grown used to in her movements. She acted more like a mature female now then I'd ever seen before. I stood up, and walked to the other side of the village. Wondering what exactly made her so sure that I was going to be her guy, and that there were no better males for her among the eggs. I should have found this declaration creepy.
I really should have. Yet I couldn't find anything wrong with anything she said. I wanted her to call me hers more often, but some small part of me was pumping the brakes hard, and I was listening to that small part. I wasn't going to accept her affections. Not until I was sure as well.
I really couldn't accept that she'd already made a final decision based on what little interaction we'd had. Yet I couldn't bring myself to turn her down completely because I wanted her too. I really needed to avoid her. I was supposed to be training today. I'd lost whatever appetite I might have had, and just stared at the trees as they swayed in the wind.
Tracking the echo of the path that time told me the trees would follow with my eyes. I chuckled at what people might think as my eyes moved ahead of whatever I was watching. It didn't hurt my head to watch the echo of the slowly swaying trees. I thought about making another artificial lightning crystal, but didn't really want to move just yet. Between my mind being spent, and my bonded being asleep I was completely unmotivated to do anything.
I kept of watching the echo of the trees, and their branches as they moved. I dozed off with the time element still active. My magic never stayed active while I was asleep. Well it never had before. The dream was really odd.
Three wyverns. A corpse that thirsted for blood. A statue of a dragon that was slowly turning black. A field of tall green grass. A bloodstained battle.
The images flashed by with no rhyme or reason. Rotating through the images in a random order like some sort of fever dream. I didn't know how to pull myself out of the dream state. I startled awake when Ethan's mind woke. Him waking up had been enough to pull me out of the dream state.
I hadn't been able to get out of the dream state on my own. I snapped my connection to the time element closed. I was breathing heavily. I brought the egg up slowly. Setting it down gently in my hands.
I didn't need two hands to hold it. I placed it in one. My tail twitched as I thought about the images that had flashed in my mind before. Time had shown them to me, but they didn't make any sense. The statue was the part that was confusing me the most.
Where the fuck was I supposed to find a perfectly preserved statue of a dragon? And why was it turning black? Then there was that image of a corpse. It didn't look normal. More like a dried piece of jerky.
The three wyverns made sense for the most part, but the bloody battlefield was too blurred to make sense. Then there were the feelings I got from the images. The statue turning black made me feel a sense of doom. The corpse felt as if it thirsted for blood, but it didn't feel like an enemy. It actually felt more like a friend.
I got the feeling that if we fed it blood it would help us in some way. The three wyverns was a place where I would earn favor. The bloody battlefield felt like a betrayal. It felt like I was going to be betrayed there. I felt peace when I looked into the grass.
