[Primus]

It has been three days since I felt my mate die. As I move through my day every moment I felt bleeding through our bond replays in my mind, unforgettable in horror. She died scared and alone, burned alive on a throne of gold, unable to fight for herself or our little ones nestled deep inside her as they burned to a crisp all for the sake of her power-thirsty sisters and their unrelenting desire to rule the world.

They will die first.

As soon as I find them, I plan to make everyone

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   068: Answers and Excuses

    [Ona]My crew parts like a tide crashing against the shoreline as I move through them with the determined steps of a pirate on a mission for blood. This anger isn’t just hot, it's scalding, burning with so much intensity that I’m struggling to maintain control. As I move across the deck, I can hear the sizzle of each footstep as my inner flame rises to flare along my skin. My blended bloodline of Celestial and Terran means I can burn bright like a captured star, melting rock and iron like the hottest plasma. As a child, before I had control, I would melt the earth beneath my feet, creating pools of lava whenever I didn’t get my way. I’ve moved past that hatchling immaturity, learning to hone my inner fire long ago. Or so I thought. “Is this what you had to go through, Mother?” I sigh, looking up towards the heavens and the void beyond. “Was Ursa always this obstinate, or is it because it’s me?” I know she can’t hear me. What was left of her became stardust, rejoining the void

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   067: Things Left Unspoken

    [Ona] “Her mate?” I repeat my daughter-in-law’s words slowly. “What do you mean, her mate?” But Kora doesn’t respond. Focused on her work, she presses her hands on the outer shell of the containment pod, giving Orion reassuring nods and smiles as she puts on a brave face. “Do you have an infirmary?” she blinks up at me, ignoring my previous question. “Some place with tools I could use to stabilize him.” “Yes,” I respond, all possible irritation gone when I see how heartbroken and terrified she is for my son. She’s his mate, and she risked her life and sanity to bring him safely away from the False Queen’s court. “I’ll show you.” Looking anxiously over my shoulder, I see the Merriweather begin to crumble into brittle shards as Primus continues to expand. Looking around the deck until I find my mate, I ask Daax to manage the situation. “I need to take Orion to the infirmary,” I shout across the deck while gazing beyond at my brother’s growing form. “I’m sorry, I…” “Take car

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   066: What Lies Beneath

    [Ona] Before the crew of the Merriweather could react, our men were crossing the gangplanks, our corvus hooked in place, steadying both vessels. Even if they had been expecting to be boarded by force, which, based on how they are scattering like mice, they were not. Likely, none of these poor sailors has ever encountered another ship as formidable as the Dragon’s Lament. Nor were they expecting a ship to appear out of nowhere, ready to seize them. Which is why more than a few sailors ran to find any weapons they could. Having expected a calm rendezvous with a peaceful trade ship, they had all been going about their general daily tasks–swabbing the decks, feeding their prisoners, checking the sails. But now, with their day spoiled and the new reality of their unexpected capture, the deck was in a full panic as sailors scrambled to find ways to defend themselves. The smart thing would have been for them to surrender and wait for an opportunity to regain their freedom. But the huma

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince    065: Skipping Stones

    [Daax] Hearing my wife speak about her loss of trust in our daughter makes my shoulders slump as a sudden weight descends. There is so little of my family left. So few descendants of the Solarian Royal Family are still breathing. Carnelia and I are most of what is left, and our children are the only heirs remaining to a kingdom that once had so many that you could find dragons with royal blood working as simple clerks. There wasn’t enough land for all of us to control, even when our family ruled an empire so vast that it spanned half the globe. But Ona has never been wrong. Her intuition is almost prophetic. “Alright,” I sigh. “Let’s prepare the ship. Tell our men to be on the ready.” Watching my mate walk away, her head held high, makes my heart flip even as my stomach drops. It’s been a lifetime since I gave this command. I knew I’d be giving it again soon, but I assumed it would be against my captors in the north. Not against my own daughter. “Lower the masts,” I command,

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   064: Reflections

    [Ona] [Earlier that morning] The distant sound of buzzing startled me awake, and I woke to find myself in a dark, cold room. Stretching, I looked out the window to see the first rays of light cast the dawn in a lazy, rosy glow. It’s beautiful here, out on the water, the scent of salt tickling my nose as I blinked the last of sleep from my eyes. Daax had already snuck out to work with the deckhand crew for the dawn shift, leaving his side of the bed still warm and smelling deliciously like him. So why am I awake? I should still be resting. I’m not scheduled to be on deck this morning. From the corner of my vision I see a flash of light followed by another buzz. It’s a pretty piece of old solar kingdom tech, a communication mirror, which hangs from the opposite wall draped in a thin, white cloth. Groaning, I roll over, adjusting myself to look more human as I step off the large mattress and onto the soft carpets that barely manage to keep the chill from my bare feet. Gently pul

    [Primus]And I fail. Grunting, I try again, but it’s no use. The best I can do is bite back the pain as I lean uselessly against the side of the small box, my body limply flopping over the edge as my muscles refuse to follow even the simplest of commands. “He shouldn’t be this broken,” Ursa’s tone is sharp, accusatory as she turns towards her mate. They are both still dressed as pirates, still wearing their perfect human disguises, but her eyes burn with the same passionate fire I’ve seen in her mother’s right before she guts a drake.At least my niece has some sense. “Usually it doesn’t,” Atremi seems unfazed. “This is an unusual reaction. He was only in the box for a fortnight.” His casual attitude shows little remorse for his actions, as he adds, “I guess I underestimated his previous condition.” A loud snort of incredulity is followed by the clang of a tool and a single mocking word, “Shameless,” spoken in Kora’s distinct, detached way that, over the months, I have learned is h
