[Ona]

The kingdom is dark. The shield blocking us from the solar rays of our sun is in place, casting our entire nation into forced night. Up here, both night and day are an illusion, time not having the same meaning when you can see your sun out every window. I have too much on my mind to sleep, and so, like most nights, I am alone in the control room looking for my daughter, Ursa.

One of my new baby girls also has a hard time sleeping every night. While little Bellatrix and Caelum easily nestle next to their father and are sound asleep within moments, my little Vela blinks up at me, waiting for me to help her perch on my shoulder. Preferring to sleep during the day curled up next to my chest, at night she roams the halls with me, and we patrol the skywalks side by side. She’s a very watchful child, her eyes always wide and swirling with blue fire. Nothing misses her careful gaze. And she's still such a youngling. What a marvel of a drakaina she will become someday.

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   063: Unfriendly Seas

    [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, 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 her uniq

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   062: Waking Nightmare

    [Primus] “Primus!” my mate’s voice calls out to me across a vast expanse. She is standing high above me, on a platform made of clouds. “Primus! Come find me!” I can feel her fear, taste her need for me even as the distance grows between us. She is mine again, I can sense her. And as much as I hate feeling her sorrow and terror, I am grateful I can feel anything at all. “Carnelia!” I stretch my arm, and as I do, the world shifts around me. This isn’t reality. I’m walking through the dreamscape, called by her voice. “You’re alive!” She nods, her words lost to weeping as she reaches down to grab my hand. But the distance is too great. She floats higher and higher, and no matter how much I stretch, our hands keep missing, our fingertips not quite touching. This is a dream. I can change dreams. Closing my eyes, I imagine my legs taller, my arms longer, my wings expanding, but as I try to lift off, to reach her, something keeps me grounded. Looking down, I find a collar clasp

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   061: Confinement

    [Carnelia]What happened next was quick, efficient, and emotionless, so rapid and unexpected that I didn’t see it coming until it was already too late. It was my mistake, assuming that just because Nyxt, who looked and sounded so much like Primus, was being kind to me, meant that he would honor my wishes or even ask for consent. That was a mistake. The last one I ever intend to make around these two unpredictable dragons. I felt something hit my spine rapidly at a point near the base of my skull. As I was turning to look at it, a Nyxt jammed something into my neck as Oaestr caught me. “Take her to confinement,” Nyxt’s voice seemed to be coming from further and further away as my vision tunneled. “You were right. Queen or not, Navigator or not, she is damaged. We need to help her heal.” I fought against the darkness, struggled to stay awake, but whatever new toxin they put into my bloodstream didn’t just paralyze me; it stole my consciousness. “Why is it taking so long?” Oaestr se

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   060: New Horizons

    [Carnelia] “Who is Primus?” The tall drake’s face twisted towards me, his right eyebrow raised, wrinkling the brow of his black skin, the color of midnight. His eyes, flashing green, remind me of my mate’s, much like the sharp edges of his chin. Much like Oaestr is my mirror copy, features like mine with colors switched, the same could be said of this male in his perfectly pressed uniform. “Her mate,” Oaestr answers for us both, her lip curling in disdain. “She’s obviously broken. This navigator may need to be recommissioned. She seems to be suffering from delusions.” If his physical differences weren’t enough to convince me that this drake is NOT Primus, his gait, the way he moves and holds himself, is nothing like my beloved. When this drake steps forward, he glides towards me in a graceful, but lifted, airy manner that reminds me of the movement of clouds. Primus moves with the smooth elegance of footsteps grounded in the soil beneath his feet, rolling through his movements wit

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   059: Finding Our Way

    [Carnelia] Last time I fell through the void, I was trying to find Primus through the link of love forged between us as mates. I had been following the cord of connection that binds us, but somewhere, in the darkness, I lost the trail. Maybe it’s because this body is so fresh, and unlike my last two incarnations, has never felt a physical connection. My mate has never touched this skin, caressed this flesh, nor lost himself inside my core. Our souls know one another; they always will, but this shell hasn’t tasted the salt of his skin. The connection isn’t deep enough. “Maybe I should focus on my children,” I say softly, reaching up to touch my earrings. But my fingers find nothing but smooth flesh, without a single trace of piercing. My fingers are also bare of the mating ring Primus had placed on my finger on the beach of Vatra Island on the night he claimed me as his wife and princess. My heart skips. They’re lost. Left behind with my corpse. How could I have missed them before

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   058: The Spaces Between

    [Carnelia] I’m not the same drakaina I was when the magus struggled to instruct me on opening the void. I’m not even the same person who learned by her newly resurrected father’s side how to manipulate the shadows. I’ve been reborn for the second time since being torn from my mate. And I'm done waiting to be with him. I want to go home to our family. To him. “Now, if you please,” I wave my hand in her direction. “The starting point.” Tossing her robes aside, she reveals her arms to the elbow. As they are exposed to this green light, I notice that her forearms are dotted with more than scales and colored flesh–they are also lined with tattoos, symbols in void speech, in the same glowing ink as the gold-painted magi on the day of my “coronation.” Unlike their markings, which are repainted every day, hers are embedded within her skin, a part of her, ever fresh. Seeing my eyes on her arms, she smirks. “I see you didn’t rate receiving the circuitry. It doesn’t matter, you know. Onl
