[TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO]

One moment we are awake, struggling for our lives at Ridgewood Castle, and the next moment we are being pulled from containment pods, our bodies weak and shaking. I cannot move my arms or legs, but I can feel my shins hitting the floor hard enough to rattle my teeth as they throw me down at Eleanora's feet.

The false queen sits above us like an empress in a sad display of power and intimidation. If I were a weaker dragon, I might be scared, but I know that w

Do you all remember who Aetremi is? Would you like to get to know him a bit better? I am planning on writing a sequel to this series about Ona and her tragic romance with Daax and he is one of the characters, along with a younger Primus and other characters you have grown to love and hate. But first, I need to finish this story :) If you would be interested in reading that prequel, leave me a note. I'm hoping enough people will be interested that I'd have support in getting it published. Also, if you are enjoying this story, consider leaving a gem or two in appreciation. I will add another chapter in the next day or so. Thank you all for your patience :)

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   094: The Archon's Voice

    [Primus] Sitting in a large, plush chair on the other side of the room is a drake of incredible age. He’s in his bipedal form, his iridescent tail wrapping around him to rest in his lap, his fan-like ears fallen into wrinkled lobes, his golden eyes still sharp despite the visible ache in his bones and joints. Unlike the Crystalborn from the meeting hall, in bipedal form the archon has a shock of white hair that falls to his shoulders in tight curls, looser than Carnelia’s tighter coils. Unless there is another dragon as old in this place, this could only be the Archon. And sitting next to him, with head bowed, is a very young drakaina, one forced into a human form, her head bald and tattooed like a human slave. If it weren’t for the telltale collar around her neck, and the surreal golden glow of her eyes, she could have passed as a small human. She looked no more than 6 or 7 human years old. Practically a hatchling. She’s probably closer to 20–still far from the age of maturity a

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   093: Betrayal and Atonement

    [Primus]Everyone turns to glare at Atremi. “An air drake working for Segundus,” Ona spits as a collar is placed around her neck, smoldering her essence under the weight of humanity. “Segundus, Atremi? Please tell me it wasn’t you.” Atremi doesn’t say anything at first, but as the guards slip a cuff around each wrist and his form dims in color and shape, becoming smaller, the first touch of humility I’ve ever seen on him crosses his face. It’s ironic, considering how he belittled me, trapped and tortured my body, all for the sake of his grand plan. Didn’t he ever consider he might receive a touch of his own medicine? Unable to meet anyone’s gaze, he bows his head to look down at his feet.“I am not the thief,” he declares in a flat, even voice as he slowly raises his head to eye the Archon across the room. “Would a thief walk this treasure into this room willingly?” “Perhaps you expected forgiveness?” The liaison’s face twisted with disgust as she translated the Archon’s growl. “We

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   092: The Crystalborn

    [Primus] Our party makes room as three technicians enter from a side chamber. Their robes are as gray as stone, from shoulder to foot, covering pale draconic flesh that shimmers with a similar hue to the Archon himself. His offspring? They have a similar, almost ancient, feel to their energy that resonates with the powers of earth, and something else…a spark of the cosmic that reminds me of my mate’s connection to the void. But then again, everything reminds me of my mate these days. Gods, how I miss her. Before taking their final steps, the trio turns towards the Archon, lifting their arms above their heads as they press their hands together in silent prayer, bowing before the ancient dragon until their spines are straight and parallel to the ground. As their sleeves fall back to their shoulders, the dim light of the cave-like parlor catches the surface of a thin ribbon of metal woven beneath their skin. The sight is startling, each strand of metal snaking along the backs of the

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   091: Meeting the Archon

    If Liaison Everly was originally from Crystal River Pass, it would mean she was once the Technician stationed at Skyfall, my deceased brother’s realm. Is it possible that she once worked with Segundus, or did she simply observe and report, like most Technicians do? Tilting my head, I give Liaison Everly a long, even look. I think I’d remember a Technician that looked like her–She was far too unique to miss. Maybe she played some kind of lesser role within his manor and was not a member of his court. Maybe she had even been in disguise…pretending to be human, perhaps. With her features, it wouldn’t take much for her to manage a very realistic human disguise. “Primus,” Ona looks over her shoulder as she calls my name. “What’s wrong?” It’s only then that I realize I had been staring a bit too long at our guide. Frowning, I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I already knew I had to be cautious when coming here, because the Technicians were untrustworthy. Not just because th

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   090: Ripples

    [Primus] A strange artificial stone lines the tunnel, and I can’t help but stare as the platform descends. I am an earth dragon, and I’ve seen all types of stone, but this substance was outside my experience. It is a type of shaped stone, perfectly formed, its grooves determining not only the course of our platform, but the speed of its descent. The stone itself isn’t made of a single type, but of the fragments of several, pasted together with water and another substance not quite Terran, giving the grooves a faint blue sheen that flickered to life with the glow of the stone in Liaison Everly’s staff. Starfire crystal. The sand-sized pebbles are glued together with starfire crystal dust and sap. An earth dragon, with the help of a moon dragon, could possibly manage the crystal and together form a shape like this, even growing the two materials together. But there are very few earth dragons living, who have ever lived, who could have dared–myself and a drakaina on the other side of

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   089: Ghosts and Shadows

    [Primus] I hadn’t been back home since I left to chase down my mate. Carnelia had rejected me, and in a fit of rage, I went bestial, terrorizing the nearby town of Crimson, the town I protected as part of my Western realm. It had been my responsibility to keep them safe, to help them when they were in need. However, they had also been the source of Carnelia’s inner pain. They had tortured her for countless years, so long they didn’t even remember how long she’d been there. They used her for work, for sex, and for blaming all their sins on. They had broken her and made it impossible for her to love herself enough to welcome the love of others. But that wasn’t the only reason I burned this sick excuse for a town to cinders. I had also been angry at myself. How many times had I wandered through the village disguised as my attendant, Leon, and not done a damn thing about how they treated orphans like my beloved as little better than dirt beneath their feet? I may have even cross

    [Primus]The command in the drake’s voice is undeniable. There will be no backing away, no arguing with this order. This isn’t just any air drake–Athony is Eleanora’s guard captain and her most trusted soldier and confidant. He’s been by her side from the very beginning, coming to the royal palace a

    [Carnelia] My hand dangles, suspended in midair, my fingers pointing absently towards where my father and child are hiding, as if I could hold down the blanket of illusion blocking them from view. It is impossible to hold the intangible with your fingertips, but if this moon queen can rip reality

    [Carnelia]When I first learned I was a dragon, I had no idea what that really meant. Dragons are creatures of energy and power, destined to rule our world by sheer might and fear. They were the terror on the mountain, the monster that could steal away your daughters and sons, forcing them into a li
