It was mid-winter and the snow had come in heavy locking most of us in our homes. Mai and Filo were hibernating in Mai’s nest. I would check in on them and the room seemed to stay nice and warm, and both slept peacefully. I had just finished a test on a micro part needed for my next nightmare when Lily came into my office. “Master, Lord Savage is needed.” I stretched and looked back at her not sure what she was up to. Did she want to sleep with me as Lord Savage too?

“What is going on?” I asked, turning to look at her. She looked worried and I stood moving to the bedroom. It didn’t take long for me to put on the costume. I had not worn it since I killed McDonalds and had hoped I would not need it for a long time. Lily started undressing in front of me looking over her shoulder as she removed her dress. I just moved to the bed, delighting in the show. She blushed and moved slower, taking her time undressing and putting on her maid outfit. It would be so easy to take her here and now, but we had a guest or more. I had no idea what I was walking into, and Lily wasn’t telling me. She turned to me with a cute bow in that sexy maid outfit.

“Are you ready, my lord?” She asked sweetly and my heart skipped a beat. She led me to the living room where I saw two figures shivering and wrapped in blankets. I saw a tightly packed bun of bright pink hair; a tail of long pink hair lay over her shoulder. The other had a wild mop of bright red hair with large black ram horns. Both women were blocked by the back of the couch so I couldn’t see more of them. I made my way around to sit in my chair. I had to stop in my tracks as I looked at the women. The pink bun turned out to be a Chinese princess. If not for the pink hair she would look like she stepped out of one of my wire-fu movies. She wore a white Chinese robe spotted with bright pink flowers. She put down a steaming drink on the table, slid to the ground bowing deeply. She even put her forehead to the ground on the tips of her fingers and a soft elegant voice came to me.

“Lord Savage. I beg you, make me your bride.” My jaw hit the ground and I inwardly screamed. WHAT THE HELL! The redhead shook her head and tried to mimic the princess getting to the ground.

“Yeah, umm me too.” she said, smiling up at me from the ground. What was going on? I cleared my throat and nodded at them.

“Perhaps we should start from the beginning.” I said coldly. “Lily, if you please.” My bunny lover smiled and was trying not to laugh at the scene.

“Contract Magic, for the time of our meeting, no one in this room will be able to lie, in exchange we will hear you out.” Crap, I wish she had left it just to the visitors. I would have to have a talk with her about that.

“I agree.” The princess said.

“Me too.” the redhead ram girl agreed.

“I agree,” Lily said with a sly smile.

“I agree as well.” I growled, removing my mask. Well, the assassin was out of the bag now. “Well, out with it.” I sighed. The princess beamed returning to her seat. My mask could be seen as a lie.

“My name is Lian Jing Bio, the third princess and fifth child of king Wukong Jing Bio. I am from the kingdom of Jing Bio. We are under threat from house Deveros.” She looked up at me with hope in her eyes. “You are the only one whom that family fears, please save my people.”

“Where do I know that name from?” I asked absentmindedly. Lily laughed behind me.

“Mcdonalds, my love.” She blushed and covered her face. Oh, now she realizes her mistake. Lily only called me that in private so putting it out there now was more than a bit embarrassing for her. Crap, that family still haunts me even after that idiot's death. I growled softly as I looked at the strange beautiful human woman.

“What do you hope I can do about them?”

“My only hope and all I ask is that you make me your bride so they will leave us alone. I am merely the fifth child, so I know the only value I have to offer is to be a political token.” She looked at the ground with those strange almond shaped eyes. God if she had a tail, I would have given her everything I owned just for a night by her side. Her eyes were a deep dark brown, almost black and the way she looked up at me made those exotic eyes look large.

“Lily, are you related to this kingdom?” I asked, unable to hold back. My bunny lover moved from behind me and approached Princess Lian.

“Not sure, but our eyes are similar.” She said, smiling at the pink princess. I tried and failed not to look at the edge of Lily’s short dress. Just a little higher and I’d be able to see the light blue underwear she was wearing. The redhead huffed and turned to me.

“It is rude to treat a dragon like scraps.” She said, huffing out a puff of smoke and crossed her arms. My eyes went wide. The child who looked barely thirteen was a real-life dragon. “I may not be a princess, but I should count for something.” Lily jumped back to hide behind my chair, shock on my lover's face. I leaned back looking over the child and the princess.

“I mean no disrespect to you; I prefer women my own age.” She leaned back, a horrified look on her face.

“You prefer hatchlings?” She asked in outrage.

“WHAT?” I asked in horror. That sounded like she was implying that I was into children. I put my head in my hands and shook it back and forth, shaking off the idea. “How old are you?” I asked the dragon.

“That isn’t a question you can ask a woman.” Lily said. God, I could almost hear the smile in her voice.

“I don’t mind. That is a human thing to worry about. I’m ninety-nine winters old.” I looked up to see her move her hands to her hips proudly. Why did she look like a child then?

“What age does a dragon need to be to be considered an adult?” I asked. Her face fell and she looked at the ground blushing.

“One hundred.” She said in a small voice. Great so she was underage. Wait a minute, so a dragon who was my age would be a baby.

“Let me make this clear. I like women who are adults.” She bared her teeth at me.

“I’m close enough to count.” She said, sending out a small puff of black smoke. If she was older, she would look cute pouting like that.

“I am sorry, but you look like a child to me, and it is a bit confusing.” I said, trying to smile at her. Much to my surprise she brightened up and stood. She closed her eyes and her body started expanding. Her limbs stretched and became more scale-like, horns grew, and a long lizard-like tail slid down under her cloak. Her chest became more pronounced, and I tried not to drool. She had gone from being a child to a bombshell of a beauty. Her mop of red hair was nearly at the middle of her back, and I could see wings just hidden by the cloak. Just past the elbow and knee turned into red scales ending in black claws. She opened golden eyes with slit pupils. Safe to say, I was rock hard and ready for any fun that could happen.

“Better?” She asked, her voice now a low growl that seemed slightly smokey. Hot as hell. I licked my chops and then remembered Lily. The bunny in question was openly drooling at the dragon. Lian coughed and the dragon looked at her. “This form usesss more energy and isss harder to talk in.” She said, running a hand through her long red hair. I tried not to think of what that hair would feel like.

“Your cloak.” The princess said coldly. I just now noticed that the dragon was nude under the cloak, luckily her long red tail had coiled around her to cover her womanhood. I could see those massive breasts poking out in a tasty looking way. The dragon scoffed and shrunk back down to look like a kid. I tried not to look disappointed and failed. “Now my companion has her own interests.” Lain said, looking at me. Was that jealousy in her eyes?

“Yeah. I want to sleep in your bed.” The dragon said boldly.

“Why?” I asked. I wasn’t sure where this was going.

“Well, my father says that all dragons sleep on gold. It smells like gore and smoke and gets in my scales in a very uncomfortable way. Ever find a gold coin in your ass?”

“No, I never wanted to put a gold coin there.” I said with a coy smile.

“I want to sleep in a bed. You are strong enough to keep my dad away and let me have that.” So her dad, a dragon, feared me? Didn’t Tactician say something about dragons on the road? I would have to remember to ask Lily about it. I looked back at my bunny who was peeking around my chair at the two. She still had a blush on her face.

“Why my bed?” I asked.

“You are the biggest drake here. You should have the softest bed. I want that bed with or without you in it.” She put a claw to her lip in thought. “Maybe with you would be better. Your kind are warm blooded so it should make the bed warmer. Right?” She blinked those golden eyes at me and I had to fight the idea of her in that adult form with me and my lovers.

“No, I don’t even know your name.” I said making that dragon puff up and pout again.

“My name is,” she sighed deflating, “Crimson Scale Death Wing.” She looked ashamed of that name.

“You don’t like it?” Lily asked.

“There are like sixteen Crimson Scales in my family alone. It is a very common name and boring as all the hells.” I thought for a moment and smiled at the loli dragon with red hair.

“How about Washu?” She reminded me of the redhead from Tenchi Muyo. God, I’m such a weeb. Crimson leapt up and flew across the room to tackle me.

“I love it.” She said, hugging me around the neck. Her skin was surprisingly warm, and she smelled of a strange, sweet spice. I raised my hands up to make sure everyone knew my hands weren’t around the underage girl. Lily just laughed at my uncomfortable posture. Lian coughed and looked at Washu, jealousy clearly on her face.

“Crimson or Washu please remember that you are nude.” Lian said, blushing madly and hiding her face with her sleeve. Washu looked down at me, her eyes drifting down to my lips before getting up. I closed my eyes trying not to look at her. When I heard Washu sit down, I opened my eyes again and looked over at Lian.

“I still have more questions for you.” I said to the pink-haired beauty. She bowed her head at me and closed those dark eyes slowly. It was like every movement was measured to get my blood heading south. I took a deep breath and thought I picked up a scent of cherry blossoms. “What do you hope I can do?” I asked slowly. It was time to cut out some of the bull shit.

“I hope,” she took a deep breath, “that just being here will keep my family and people safe.” Her eyes fell to the ground and a dark look fell over her face. “If you turn me away, I may have to offer my life to house Deveros. I will do whatever I can to keep my family and people safe.” She looked up and her eyes seemed to hold a fire. It was clear she meant every word she said.

“What do you have to offer me?” I asked, sitting forward.

“I have nothing but my body.” She said blushing and looking at the ground again.

“What skills do you have?” She looked up in shock. Did she want me just to take her as a fuck doll? wasn't going to happen.

“Nurturing Spirit. Children I care for will learn quicker.” That I can use. “Royal Nature, people are more likely to follow me if I have conviction.” That is a broken skill I could abuse. “And cooking.” She blushed again looking away. “I only know how to cook sweets though. Sorry I can’t offer you more.”

“Lily, it looks like we found our new kindergarten teacher.” Lily looked over at me blankly.

“What is that, my love?” Lily asked.

“A teacher who teaches small children letters, numbers and shapes. They teach children at their earliest point. In my world, four or five winters old. Here though I think three winters would be ideal.” This world had four hundred and eighty days in a year. Lian looked up at me, shock clear on her face.

“You would use my skills to help the people of your town and not just your own?” I frowned at her with a slight snarl on my face.

“These people are mine and I will do what I can to keep them safe. Not just for my lifetime.” I knew my eyes had grown cold and didn’t care. Couldn’t hide my true nature right now even if I wanted to. Thanks again for that Lily. We were going to have to have a talk when this was over about that. Girl needed to work on her word usage when casting contract magic. Much to my surprise Lian stood and dropped to the ground bowing deeply, her fingers to her forehead.

“My Lord, you misunderstand. I love children and teaching the youth would be a dream come true.” I could hear a tear in her voice. She meant it.

“Right now, we only have a few children, but our town is growing. You teaching them early will help them later and free up our main teacher.” Washu just watched her unsure what to do.

“Do I help the hatchlings too?” She asked. I shook my head.

“I think you would be better as a trump card.” She raised an eyebrow clearly unsure what that was. “A last line of defense for our town.” She smiled and bounced in her seat showing off a bit too much skin. Lian got up and sat back down, wiping her eyes. “I have one more major question. Why is your hair pink?” She blushed and covered her mouth with her robe sleeve.

“I thought you may like it as all of your lovers are not human and I am human.” She looked at the ground trying to fight not to add more. She failed and blurted out, “The runner matches the tapestry if you want to see.” She covered her face blushing madly.

“Should I show mine too?” Washu asked.

“No, I’d rather see that when the time is right.” Fuck me, Lily. Lying is needed at times. Washu nodded and elbowed Lian.

“His face is red like yours. What does that mean?” I looked at Washu who looked between us. “Now the bunny woman’s face is turning red too. Is this a mating thing?”

“No, it means we are embarrassed.” Lily said bluntly. I coughed and sat up.

“One last thing. Tell me how you got here.” I asked, trying to change the topic. Lian took a deep breath to steady herself.

“My dad, king Wukong, sought out the great dragon Onyx to seek his help. While the two were talking, I met with lady Washu. She informed me that her father had offered her sister to you as a sacrifice to save the dragons. If dragons and house Deveros fear you, then if I offer myself to you, my people should be safe. Lady Washu offered to bring me on her back. We both thought that traveling in winter would be the safest. Not many people move in winter and us leaving would easily cover our tracks. We both failed to take into account how cold it would be and nearly froze several times. Luckily my new friend has amazing fire magic.” Washu beamed at her words and put her hands on her hips again.

“Well given everything, I can offer you two a place, but not my bed, yet.” Lily huffed at my words. It was clear she was upset that I was turning the women down, but why? If I didn’t know better, she was pregnant again. She was horny as hell during the early months last time.

“I am a dragon and I demand your bed.” Washu said standing.

“How about you start by demanding clothes and then move up to bed.” I said with a slight laugh as I looked away. Her cloak had flown open showing me a bit too much again. She quickly pulled her cloak closed, a blush lighting her own face.

“I can help her with that. She seems like my size.” Lily said, bouncing out from behind my chair. She ran up to Washu and pulled her up and out of the room. Once she was gone, I felt the spell of contract magic fade. I smiled at Lian who refused to look at me.

“There are beds at the inn if you need them, if not, I do have extra beds. Sorry I won’t take you to my bed tonight.” she blushed and covered her face with her hands.

“I can’t believe I said that?” she said in a whimper.

“Yeah, contract magic is a bitch.” I said with a slight chuckle. I got up and reached out to help her to her feet. She reached up a slender hand to grab my own. Her hand was soft, and I couldn’t help but raise it up once she was standing and kiss it softly before looking down into those wide dark eyes. “Welcome to Happy Valley, princess.” I said bowing my head lightly. She blushed and refused to look away.

A few days later I was in my office toying with the newest model. Both Lian and Washu were settling in. Lian was helping Teacher with the children and learning what she would need to do. The woman had a gift with kids. Washu was loving the beds and stealing every pillow and blanket she could get her claws on. I swear that woman would be happy with a room full of just that. My new project was almost ready to test on a training table when there was a roar that shook the town. What the fuck was going on now? I got up and grabbed extra metal turning it into chains that snaked their way up my arms. “SAVAGE!” Roared over the ice-cold town. Fuck me, not again I inwardly growled. I walked outside to feel the ground shake under me. I looked up to see a huge black dragon standing on the hill, his huge wings spread wide. I toggled a hidden mic on my collar and called up to him.

“Great Dragon Onyx I presume.” I called up to him. He turned to me, dark flames lighting his mouth.

“Ant, fetch me, Lord Savage. I will not let him have two of my daughters.” he leaned back, breathing into the sky, sending the clouds scattering and giving me a clear view of the open sky.

“Thank you for clearing the storm.” I said putting my hands on my hips. He stopped and turned to look at me closer.

“Why are you not running in fear? I am a huge dragon.”

“And I am Lord Fucking Savage. What the hell do you want?” I was getting tired, and I could see the metal of his scales. It would be so easy to turn him into hamburger. The dragon stopped and blinked.

“You are not the man I offered my first daughter to.” He said clearly off balance. Good better keep him that way.

“Nope. Your mistake.” I put my hands on my hips and smiled up at the huge monster. “Could you shrink down, looking up is starting to hurt my neck.” I said bluntly.

“You know I’m a dragon and could kill you in the blink of an eye.” I smirked and let my smile fill my face.

“Back at you big fella.” I growled. He looked startled.

“I, ummm, don't have any clothes.” He said, bowing his head. I looked over my shoulder and called out.

“Tailor, do you have time to fit a dragon in?” The woman in question peeked her head out to look at me, shaking in fear.

“Yes, my lord.” she said nodding.

“Problem solved. Come to me when you have clothing on. I will be in the inn. We can have lunch.” I turned away smiling at the look of shock on the dragon's face. It was clear he didn’t know who he was dealing with. I made my way to the inn, a thin chain showing me a three-dimensional view of the area. If he moved in any way to attack me, I would know. I sat at the table and ordered two glasses of wine and a plate of spiced chicken. I thought Onyx would like it. Soon a dark-haired man entered and looked around slightly shocked. The inn was mostly empty per my request. I waved at him, and he stormed over to me. Tailor had out done herself and I would have to pay her handsomely for that. “Better Lord Onyx?” I asked with a smirk pointing at the seat across from me. He took the seat in a huff and pouted as he said,

“This cloth is nice, and I will keep it with your blessing.” I nodded and pointed to his drink.

“Thought you’d like some wine and spiced chicken. Perfect thing to take the edge off the cold.” He blinked and took a sip; his eyes went wide, and he drained it quickly.

“This is amazing.” I smiled and laughed lightly.

“Try the chicken.” I said, taking a piece for myself. He pinched a sliver and lifted it to his nose before gulping it down.

“You are the true Lord Savage, aren't you?” he asked with a shy smile. I nodded and sipped my own wine. “Sorry for making a scene. I was just worried about my little girl.”

“Crimson, she asked me for a new name, so I started calling her Washu. She is named after a fun-loving scientist from my world."

“You are a wanderer. That makes way too much sense.” He had pulled the plate closer and was picking at it without remorse. I smiled and waved to Innkeeper for another plate and more wine. The man nodded and started to relax. It was clear I had things in hand and it was now safe. Maybe I was getting better at this talking to people thing.

“Yep, and Washu is more than likely sleeping on a bed full of blankets and pillows. I haven’t touched her inappropriately and plan to keep it that way.” He blinked and sniffed.

“You know I can smell when someone lies, and you aren't. You weren’t lying when you said you could kill me either.” I nodded and smiled in my evil way. He gulped and reached for his cup, draining it just as Innkeeper filled it again. “What do you plan to do to her?” He asked a trail of smoke coming out of his mouth.

“Let her sleep and pray I never need to use her. The only thing I have planned for her is to have her as a safety net to keep everyone safe.” He sniffed again and nodded.

“You know she is underage.” He asked a flare of fire coming out at that.

“Yep, and that is why I haven’t and won’t do anything.” I said putting my elbows on the table. He took another chunk of chicken and ate it, licking his lips.

“What do we do now?” He asked. I smiled and waved my hands at the table.

“We eat, drink and talk. When you are plastered, you can sleep it off in one of the rooms upstairs.” I said, nodding at Innkeeper. He nodded back and bowed to the both of us. “Oh, and this goes on my bill.” I said with a command. Innkeeper bowed deeply and beamed at us. Gorloth joined us with Redwood and the four of us made wonderful drinking buddies. Turns out Onyx was a great happy drunk. Washu came in at some point and hugged me when she found out her dad was willing to let her stay. It was a shock when Tactician and Priest came in. Turns out she was the other dragon, but this town couldn’t have enough trump cards. What is an extra dragon or two? At some point in time Uta joined us and I woke up with an epic hangover between Uta, Hena and Yen. I wasn’t sure what happened, but I saw Lian peek in on us. A smile was on the princess's face.
