Goldur and I were sitting in a bright bar where soft music soothed us. The seats and tables were white and bright but did not dazzle. People were there, going about their business or enjoying their free time.
Goldur was all over the place.
"How peaceful it is here..."
Then we took an inclined elevator like a funicular and left the city on foot.
We arrived at a beach and in front of us, the sea...
And a moon to light the abyss.
Me: "Goldur, I'm tired... I'm a little more of a trial..."
"I love Argentrix but if you hate me, so be it... She loves you and I won't come between her and you. "You are his parents. But know that I love Auronne too and that if Fomalhaut hadn't come back, I would have raised the children like a father."
Goldur: "Thank you, Ivan, but you have to understand that we dragons see in the long term, in hundreds of years and that changing decisions is an important step. I could disobey the emperor, but he's my great-grandfather, so I can't do that."
I said, "What if I destroy the portal?"
Goldur: "What is done cannot be undone... They will rebuild another one over and over again..."
I ended the visit with a heavy heart.
I took a deep breath and turned around to Goldur.
Goldur told me: "We came to execute you, until you reach 14 years of age or earlier if you used your powers, finally those of the Lord Dragon. But you changed my mind. I will plead your case with my great-grandfather."
I looked him in the eye:
"Goldur, I don't need your pity, you both hurt me as much as the others... Go away! Keep the ranch and settle in. My home now is the army and my family is Hissa. Argentrix may or may not stay, it's up to her, but you adults are very complicated and demanding. You criticize all the time... You compare this to that and if it's not without its little case, it's the drama, the hysteria, the dolorosa mater. And, in the end, it all comes back to me every time... "
I took the form of a dragon and fled to the military base to find the pilots and collapsed into tears in my nest.
The staff had never seen me like this before. A crying dragon...
They were nice and wanted to comfort me. And, a visitor came to meet me.
"Dragon? Are you Max?..."
"Max?"
Me: "Stop Georgie... You know, don't play dumb......."
Georgie squeezed me around the neck.
"I'm glad we're both friends... I understand why you're hiding here."
I cut it down: "What do you know about my problems, huh? My in-laws are racist because I have black skin, you see, so instead of killing me, they feel sorry for me and they HESITATE to execute me!"!
"I hate them! And that's not dragon, that's human me. I'll graduate from here and do politics and one day I'll run this base and decide who gets their asses kicked or not!" I will defend this nation against others and crush my enemies! If I have to become president myself!"
Higgins was there and heard my conversation and clapped his hands.
"Ivan, I think you've just grown up... but don't forget, here on earth many young people flee their parents even if they love them.
It is up to them to accept that their child will make their own life. Some manage it, others don't, but the arrival of babies often brings everyone together.
You never make a child for yourself. We must see it grow and evolve and we must find happiness by seeing it flourish.
The clan system still keeps humanity in a dark age. Emperors and warlords like the Romanovs were a plague for humanity, dragging millions of people into wars. Rare were the good kings and the good ones were murdered most of the time."
I then thought of my friend Uther....
"Like King Uther Pendragon... I knew him."
Higgins dropped his cigar. "Besides, you made... "It clicked in his head.
Higgins continued: So from Majestia, we know how to go to the 6th century?
I said, "Yes..."
Vertix came up behind me and rubbed his feathers against my face:"
Ivan, I'm here, don't be sad! I'm your friend for life... You are not alone!"
Me:" I want Argentrix! I wept..."
Vertix flew away: "I'll get her..."
Me: "Thank you, then it went on to GOLDUR/GRIFFON, ENEMIS...! AYE!"
I shouted "Vertix, come back! But it was already too late..."
I turned to Higgins who saw that something was wrong!
Goldur being with his family in the hangar near the gate and me at the academy, in the military part at the airplane hangars.
Vertix flew very fast but very very fast!
I concentrated and made a connection with Auronne: "Auronne, tell Goldur that Vertix is our friend..."
Auronne: "Ivan, it was Goldur who sent you Vertix....Idiot!"
Me:" You reassure me..."
Auronne: "On the other hand, I am Furious! Why did you tell Dad everything? It's not that he hates you now, but he fears you! He's terrified. I don't know what you did to him, but I've never seen him like that!
He dug a hole and he refuses to get out..."
Me:" I see, you're going to do like the Unicorns then! Throw myself like a paper ball into the fire now that you have a Dragon Stone or a Dungeon Heart for your mana. I thought you loved me more than that, that we were a family... "
Auronne: "Stop Ivan, you're going crazy! And paranoid! Give Goldur a little time. Emerald is also proven. But I WANT TO KNOW: What did you say and show Dad so he could be like that?"
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Me: "Stop being a hypocrite! Auronne. I know you wait until I'm 14 to execute me, seal me or at best castrate me.... You obey your great-great-grandfather, the emperor, and have always done so... I'm just a grain of sand in your gears....
Goldur told me everything and he's afraid of me and my army even if I don't give a shit...
You knew and followed me and at the slightest prefix or trial that I would miss, you would kill me but you were stuck here with me and you needed me especially for the little ones in your belly."
Auronne: "Take back what you just said! It's really mean of you to think like that!"
Me:" And it's also mean of you to let me feel guilty for things I've never done and your daddy, it's hideous what he did to me! Pretending to be Robin....
You're really twisted!"
Auronne: "Ivan, that's not how it works! You're twisting everything! You're sick in your head!.. Here, Vertix is coming.! But our conversation will not stop there! You're lucky you're not in front of me because you would have received the slap of your life. And there's no point in apologizing! Because you're going to pay for it.!"
I cut the link, a metallic taste in my mouth.
Then it was the exams and Agentrix and I avoided each other so as not to make the situation worse, but every night I cried after her...
His parents were confined to the Ranch with Auronne and the 3 dracosires had each bought a ranch with a hunting area granted to them and where they received politicians and embassy attachés. They prepared the future interactions and management of the portal on both sides.
Isaac was trained by draconian ambassadors for political management and he had to take care of the other two and "recover" the 4 survivors as best he could.
Tania was on a reconnaissance mission and was secretly building another portal with the help of other kidnappers she was dominating.
A year went by, then two, I was alone and I missed them... All I had left was Hissa and Brutus. As I had treated Hissa, one day she became ill
And that was the day the results were delivered.
Argentrix and I parried and finally got our rank each as platoon commander and Sergeant Major.
We were proud to wear the uniform and ended up talking to each other again, but only about human stuff.
Auronne had laid her 3 eggs but they had not yet hatched, due to a lack of mana. The ambient mana was rising a little and there were no more notorious incidents.
Hissa wanted to celebrate our graduation and she showed 1 egg she was secretly incubating.
She had invited everyone but the golden dragons refused to see me...
The Indians also wanted to celebrate me and Georgie arrived with Vertix:
"Look, Ivan, I'm your friend, I also have sources and believe me, you're not crazy as they say. Beware of Goldur, I'm sure he's communicating with the emperor and that they'll close the gate permanently before running away with Argentrix."
Me: "Thank you Georgy"!
I decided to go for it at night near the ranch where Goldur was in a meeting with his 3 dracosire while Fomalhaut was sleeping with Auronne...
Argentrix was in his room and phoning Hissa. She cried a lot.
I arrived as a human and made sure not to emit anything magical on me and I approached the window of the Great Silver...... I threw a stone on the window and she came out her head through the window.
"GRRR- What are you doing here?" she grunted.
I shushed her!! And a sign to come.
She jumped out the window and came to me..:
"What do you want and give me a reason not to call my parents!"
I approached slowly and she looked at me severely.
Then, all of a sudden, I grabbed her neck by surprise and kissed her on the mouth.
She gave me my kiss back and our tongues mixed, her arms around my neck.
I said, "Let's run...!"
Argentrix: "What about my parents? "
Me:" They love you and they will continue to love you... We are adults and all the promises I made to you before, they always keep! "
Argentrix: "But you hate them!"
I said, "Not at all! Just because I had a serious fight once doesn't mean I hate them. But one day you have to know how to disobey them. Maybe that's what they really wanted from us!
Disobey them. They are held by invisible bonds and traditions and once the anger is over, they WILL have to accept our union."
"Argentrix, I would like to end my life with you and have children with you. "
We both ran away in the night.
Auronne was watching us run away during the night and didn't say anything to Fomalhaut. She was smiling.
Hissa had arrived later and Auronne handed her a box set:
"Hissa, this is my pendant I got from Mom when I had Argentrix. If we never see each other again, make sure she has that box set. I added a letter also for her and for Ivan.
I will never return to Majestia or the other side. I'm fine here at the ranch. And tell them I'm happy and I apologize to Ivan. I would like him to be Uncle and godfather..
Then she looked at her husband, Fomalhaut: "Idiot, but I love you and at least, this time by not dealing with this story, you didn't make a mistake and she went to bed between her silver husband's legs.
From the window, she could see the other barn lit with 5 dragons discussing and promoting plans. Emerald was attending to take a nap. She hadn't listened for centuries and found these conversations useful only to take a nap more easily. But Auronne looked at the stars and when she saw her eggs, she started to cry. "Where are you, my poor dragoness??.. I've searched everywhere after you.. I hope you are living and safe.." She was also crying for her previous mate. "Stupid laws, Stupid war... Argentrix, i admire the courage I didn't had when I was your age.."
We arrived at the base where Higgins was waiting for us and gave us our mission order and gave us precious documents
Our degrees and diplomas, and a certificate of emancipation that allowed us to be considered adults, and above all, to be able to get married!
We had 2 months of holidays and a pass for all the US bases to rest in a dragon.
I jumped around Higgins' neck and said to him for the first time! Thank you THANK YOU! "Uncle Higgins!!"
Argentrix screamed likewise.
Then we decided to take a dragon ride around the national parks, of course!
And first of all: LAS VEGAS!
And, when we arrived in Las Vegas, we came across ELVIS! [https://img.wattpad.com/9fff9b9674aa72d7a96c5c5f89549e6806ee0796/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4b6168414556597838346c584e773d3d2d3734313633363439342e313561353963326565303230633061623130383533303533343134382e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
And, when we arrived in Las Vegas, we came across ELVIS!
But he was alive when I flew, well, he died almost the same day as my crash and I had always dreamed of getting married like him in Tahiti! I loved his songs...They made me dream.
It's a good thing we were human.
On the radio there was talk of a rage of dragons flipping out of control and that the absence of mana had exhausted them when they blew a barn. They complained that their daughter had run away and that the police had to find them...
Then Elvis saw us walking around: "Aren't you thirsty in this heat?"
"We're hanging in there! We like the heat of the desert!"
Elvis: "Well, my guitar is creaking with thirst, OH YEAH!
Are you in a relationship?????
Do you want to get married??????"
Argentrix looked at me, her forehead against mine and pinched me! " COME ON, IVAN! Let's go! Let's go!"
We presented the documents and put on our Academy uniforms and the ceremony began under the Music of Elvis!
We laughed a lot and there was a lot of champagne.
We were asked to make human rings and larger rings for us
Elvis: "A necklace????"
me, completely drunk, Argentrix leaning on me: "We are dragons..."
The ceremony continued and we were declared husband and wife and selfies were taken and sent to Auronne... by mistake......
Then we turned into a dragon and Elvis, instead of ending each sentence with his OH YEAH, shouted: "OH NO!!!!!!!!"
We laughed when her wig fell to the ground and added: "No need to disguise yourself, we know that Elvis is dead!!!!HAHAHAHAHA
OH YEAH!
Then we saw a medieval hotel and entered it, I carried Argentrix as a princess [https://img.wattpad.com/2179ca2bee6f0d2b0300eeeb08095e5d90065d4e/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f764746376777526d4a704e5761413d3d2d3734313633363439342e313561353963343235353134343262613932363638353332303033362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Then we saw a medieval hotel and entered it, I carried Argentrix as a princess.
And we took a room for lovers
And we took a room for lovers [https://img.wattpad.com/6fbfcbe436a72254f4870c9abf6d05d0e75d9cf6/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f436b6659773556477969615f31673d3d2d3734313633363439342e313561353963343962363764303834343431323939363837363331362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Wow, what a beautiful room. And did you see that? There is a mini bar, a large bathtub and on the terrace a massage spa and on the ceiling we can both see each other.
And did you see that? There is a mini bar, a large bathtub and on the terrace a massage spa and on the ceiling we can both see each other [https://img.wattpad.com/f97c4b31d040a452f5133e9effbd2cadafff448e/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4d473435726c396c72736b5a43513d3d2d3734313633363439342e3135613539633532316661356264306538323934383838363131392e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
We undressed and looked at each other and jumped into the spa.
Ahh it felt good all those massage jets and then Argentrix sat on me and asked me to massage her.
After long licks and caresses, we were red and excited, maybe the heat of the spa?
Fruits were in a cup with the champagne and Argentrix poured the champagne on her and I started drinking the liquid in contact with her skin. She moaned a little bit, then her eyes split and she started to squeeze me more.
We got out of the spa and after drying, we went to bed on the bed.
Mist and flames came out of her mouth and our tails appeared and rolled up, one silvery and the other black like night.
Then the fateful moment came when we united our bodies and an aura appeared around us. Like an improbable mixture of light and shadow.
In the excitement, we hit the bed remote control and the motors under the mattress amplified our love movements and she was the first to roar.
After 6 times, She looked at me with her predatory eyes and said to me: Again but this time, she lost control and so did I. We turned into a dragon and the damage began.
The bed sank one floor, the spa was ejected from the terrace and went to crash into the lawn of the park.
We were so hot that the fire alarm went off and my electric shocks made me come as much as my wife and had fried the whole surveillance system. The separation wall in the next room broke and we saw a couple do what they had to do and then, in terror, the man's thing fell back when he used the getaway. The bed on the top floor fell on us but I would not let her go while she was still asking.
Then, in an excess of rage, I released all my frustration in Argentrix which succeeded in moaning and crying. We stayed like that for a moment, frozen then came out of our torpor by the sound of the fireman's sirens.
"Hurry, they'll find us! And I opened the darkness and we both sank into the shadows of the night."
We escaped and laughed a good laugh when the next day, in the newspaper, they talked about a violent gas explosion and the only witnesses said that they had seen the two-headed devil with lots of sharp teeth.
Argentrix was hitting her stomach, a point of laughter "killing" her on the spot: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
We went back to having fun the next day.
Of course, Higgins sabotaged the champagne: "My little ones have grown up! Now the serious business is about to begin..."
