And so please enjoy!

POV- Sarena

It was late afternoon when everything went wrong.

I had spent that morning resting, feeling the pangs of a late pregnancy but worse than most other races had to bear, even other dragons after all I had a clutch of eggs in my womb instead of the single egg that most dragons of my love's race bear at a time. I was not a dragon from the dragon country of Dravan Iith, no, I was born father north in the forbidden lands where the sun either never set or never rose, depending on where you were.

Normally, a dragon from this country would not affiliate themselves with our kind so they can keep their blood pure but my love had defied those rules and none dared to nor could stop him… after all it isn't every day that your lover is the dragon god and king of Dravan Iith. Well, I guess if it was anyone else they would be killed to clean the stain on the dragon's races "pride" and I would probably also be dead too if it was anyone else, but when your power could wipe out the whole world who can really stop you.

Well, that's what I thought ….. I was so naïve.

The pangs of labour were starting to hurt but my love had left in a beautiful cave with a extremely comfortable bed and plenty of meat kept fresh with his magic. It so nice to be this loved and I can't wait to share that love with my… our children, it such a scary thing… being pregnant, I'm both excited and worried over the prospect of birth giving, will they be ok, will I be a good mother, will I be able to love them entirely like my parents loved me?

Uggh! Another pang of pain went through my stomach; I was worried whether I would survive this even though I should trust in my body and the evolution of my race of the millennia to give birth to this large clutch of eggs.

Well your probably kind of confused other why I'm so different from the dragons here. Our oldest stories say that we had come from the same ancestor but due to worshipping different gods and having different values we evolved differently. The dragons of Dravan Iith had worshipped a god of Death, Blood and Pride while we worshipped a goddess of Life, Kindness and Fertility hence our ability to have a clutch of eggs instead of just one egg every dozen years.

While dragons in this land have colours depending on their soul types, none of them had a light soul type while we also had dragons with colour dependent on their soul, ours tend to be of the lighter variety and we had access to life magic while they had more destructive power. We also got along with other races who shared our values. And that's how we differ magically.

But physically we are mostly the same with having many variations of horns and strong scales, claws and fangs except we had a more elegant look instead of being rugged and bulky. We also had aviary wings instead of their bat like wings and a plume of feathers in different places on our body such as our tail and where our neck met our shoulders; it looks like a collar of feathers. Hehe soo fluffy.

Well anyways enough about us, my lover had left the cave over an hour ago to meet with the elders of their race, to discuss future relations with my kind. I kind of forgot to tell you but I'm kinda royalty, well I'm the princess of my kingdom, it’s a bit obvious since I have the golden colour scales of the life dragons of my race which allows me to even bring back the dead to life, no strings attached though they are limits such as not reviving those stronger than us though they are very little cases like that on this planet.

The sun is starting to set and my love has not return yet, he must be being held back by those scrooges, I hope he comes back soon, I feel my eggs are ready to be given birth to but I think I can hold it back for 2-3 days.

Then suddenly I heard an explosion and felt the cave shake.

Oh no! Someone is trying to get pass the barrier I set up and from the sounds of things they're strong.

Shit! I have to leave the barrier isn't going to last long!

*BANG

*CRACK

I feel my barrier breaking as I try escaping through the emergency tunnel.

As I run as fast as I can with my eggs weighing me down, I contact my love.

"Love, you have to come back quickly, their coming for me!"

[???]- "Who is coming for you what is happening!"

"They broke through my barrier, I think their after me and the eggs!"

[???]- "WHO DARES ATTACK MY LOVE AND MY CHILDREN, I'll be coming back soon just hold on for at least 3 hours, please!"

"I'll try!"

Then so he can find me, I keep the connection on but don't waste energy trying to talk to him anymore; I'll need all of it to keep my eggs safe. If I wasn't pregnant I could fight and defend myself but all magic is being worked into keeping  the eggs safe inside me, I'll have to rely on my physical prowess but even that is being weakened due to the eggs, damn it! Even my life magic can't be used! Why did this have to happen!

I run further into the tunnel till I start seeing light, it seems they aren't following me but I can't rely on my magic to check.

Outside I see a large expanse of trees and mountains natural to these parts. I thought of flying over these trees but then I thought it would be harder to find me if I kept low and hid under the leaves of the trees.

After an hour of sneaking as quickly as I could I had travelled 20 kilometres from the cave. I'm still to close and as I pass the trees I exit the forest to find myself in a clearing. What I found was thousands of humans and other lesser sentient beings. They look at me with a mix of fear, excitement and … bloodlust!

As they were about to charge though a large dragon with emerald scales swooped in front of the army and roared loudly. I would have been worried if not for the fact that I recognised the wings of that dragon; they were the same bird like wings as mine!

His name was Azarloth, the dragon warrior my father had sent to protect me.

"Azarloth, thank the goddess you're here!" I said happily thinking I was safe, in hindsight I guess I should have seen this coming… so stupid, after all he was my ex- fiancé.

[Azarloth]- "Hello, Sarena, what are you doing in front of this mortal army?"

In my excitement I didn't notice his tone not having the least bit of worry or affection, it was just cold.

"Please help me, I think some of the dragons here are trying to kill me and my children! I can't use my magic right now but my love is coming in a couple more hours and-"

[???]- "hahahahahaha, did you really think he would help you whore!"

"What?"

[Azarloth]- "…"

Then appearing as if from the shadows was another dragon but this one had bat wings!

From the colour and horns I recognised him as the Elder Eldaron who was beside my love when we first met, he always seemed to be a supporter of our union but now he glared at me with an intense disgust.

[Eldaron]- "You filthy whore, you dare contaminate our bloodline with that piss you call blood, not even with a low born brat which even then would be too good for you but you just had to seduce our god, you fuckin whore!"

As Eldaron was about to attack me, Azarloth blasted him with a Magma bomb leaving him disoriented

[Azarloth]- "Come with me, quickly!"

And so I followed him into the depths of the forest, dodging trees and keeping low. Thankfully following Azarloth meant I had a path which was devoid of most trees and branches, making our progress through the trees faster.

We had reached a small waterfall when I told him to stop

"Wait! I need a minute to rest."

Though running for hours wouldn't usually bother me, having a bunch of eggs inside of your stomach eating up your magic and energy reserves really makes simple chores seem like herculean tasks.

I look at Azarloth but he seems to be thinking deeply about something and his eyes seem kind of dark

[Azarloth]- "Do you want to live?"

"Huh? I- I, of course I do, why are you asking?"

[Azarloth]- "They are going to catch up eventually, as you are now you can’t even muster up 30% of your strength and we both know why. You have to abort your eggs."

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! I WOULD RATHER DIE!!!"

[Azarloth]- "You idiot! If they catch you both you and your eggs will die! Though I realize that bastard would probably attack us once he realizes what has been done but I'll protect you so ple-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD I BE IF I GAVE UP MY OWN CHILDRENS LIVES FOR MYSELF!!! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BASTARD!!! HE is the one I LOVE! And I will NEVER betray him!"

[Azarloth]- "Please don’t do this think of all the people who will suffer if you die! How much I'll suffer!! Please, give me a chance, I'll prove to you that I can be worthy of your- no! EVEN MORE worthy of love than him!!! Why him and not me! Were we not destined, was I not your fiancé!"

"………. I'm sorry, but you can never be for me what he is for me. He isn't just someone who I fell in love; he is … the other half of me! Ever since I met him, even though others would fear him or worship his power, I never saw the darkness that others feared him for or the strength that could tear the world apart, no all I saw was a light that, out of nowhere meant everything to me and eventually I came to see as the most important thing in my life. So though I may have once thought I loved you, I realised even long before that I could never love you as more than a friend. I am so sorry but I am not the one for you."

My voice was barely a whisper by the end as I stared directly at Azarloth, not directing my eyes at all, I was telling him my true feelings.

[Azarloth]- "……….. Then I am sorry."

"Azarl-"

[Azarloth]- “Even if you hate me for the rest of our lives… I must protect you, for our king, our home and … for myself."

"Wha-!"

Before I could react he had sent a gale slash at my defenceless stomach… and I could feel the eggs shatter in my womb.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!! ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!"

Out of my mind and completely engulfed in rage I struck at him without regard for anything else.

Surprised at my sudden strength and rage, Azarloth couldn't dodge my claws carving his face, nearly ripping the left side off and as he was screaming in pain I ran further into the endless forests of Dravan Iith

After 30 minutes of running, when I reach a dark part of the forest physically and mentally exhausted I check for anyone following, certain that there was no one now that I had access to some of my magic, I fall into a heap of quivering flesh and start crying.

My children, my future and hope was all gone, Azar- no that bastard's gale slash hadn't done any damage to my scales but the force and hit my insides hard crushing my eggs. Lost in my grief I nearly roared into the sky but manage to stifle it. Oh goddess why did you let this happen… all I wanted was a family, to be with my love and raise a family, to see our children grow up into big and powerful dragons, to see them find love like we did… why must you take all the joy and love from my life. All because some stupid fucks thought I was dirtying their bloodline, because my ex fiancé was so 'in love' with me that he would rather break me and have me as his puppet lover than see me happy!

Well fuck you! I won't let anyone steal my happiness. Once my love finds me we will slaughter those who killed MY CHILDREN!!

As I was lost in thoughts of vengeance and rage a sudden pang of pain in my womb hit me. I was about to give birth… to my crushed eggs!

"NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS! NONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!! PLEASE NO!!! NOT LIKE THIS!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!"

I felt a slushy mix of egg shells and what should have been my children run down my legs

"NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!"

I lose my self in hysteria, my mind quickly whittling away and my sanity being crushed. I felt my heart breaking and could almost hear the cracks though they were probably the egg shells on the ground but in my current state of mind I could not think logically in the least. But when all the shattered eggs leave my womb, something becomes stuck at the entrance of my vagina, something I should have felt for all the eggs that had exited through my womb.

One of my eggs was still intact! A sense of relief and joy came over me like a tidal wave and I couldn't stop tears of joy from falling from my face. Thank you so much, at least one- one could live.

As I felt a spark of hope in my endless black grief, I push with everything I have to try and give birth to this one egg, my last piece of hope.

And in 20 minutes the egg was out, perfectly intact and still wet with my fluids. The joy I feel could have made me just as insane as my grief, even after all of this there was still hope for a brighter future.

Though the deaths of my other children kept me in the darkest corners of my mind, that one egg was my life saver that held onto with my entire being.

And as I held my seemingly so delicate egg, I felt a presence behind me.

[Eldaron]- "So…. There is still one left…. Let's fix that."
