[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 life of servitude and pain.

But then I was that monster, a creature born of fire and flame, and yet I was still myself, still that scared little girl who grew up among humans, abused and tortured for b

Now what are they going to do???? Two more chapters coming to you this week! I know these chapters are long (and expensive) but I hope you find them worth the coins. This chapter is almost 2000 words long, which is the same length as 2 chapters in many of the more popular stories. I treat each chapter as it's own mini-story with in a story, which is why the word count can vary between 1300-2000 words. In the long run it actually costs less money this way, than if I were to split the longer chapters in two. Thank you all for your continued support. If you can, consider giving a gem or two in appreciation :)

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   095: True Purpose

    [Primus] Sitting on a stool, in the center of the room, is a drake made of light, his edges glowing faintly, his head moving slowly from side to side, as if watching an audience. He is wearing a cloak of shadows, as dark as night, ancient runes sewn along the edges of his cloak. He is wearing dark gloves, dark boots, his whole body painted in shades of shadow. It reminds me of Carnelia’s father, the shadow walker. Until he takes off his gloves, revealing hands of a fair, creamy flesh tinged faintly with the palest green. His long curved nails are a darker green, almost black. And then the hood comes down to rest along his broad shoulders. His hair is a shocking shade of green, as bright as spring leaves, short on the sides, and longer as it cascades between his dark horns, the same almost blackish green as his talons. Above his eyes, the color of earth and sand and fallen leaves that glow with flecks of gold, are high, ridged brows, covered in iridescent scales that fade betwe

  • 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   018: Cold Hands

    [Primus] Something strange happened on that beach, something I can’t quite explain because I don’t understand it completely myself. As I knelt in a defensive crouch, the humans encircled my location, the collar shining dully in their hands. I was still trying to play human, to get them to see reas

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   019: Leaning In

    [Primus] I wasn’t sure what the voice meant at first. Nor did I know if I could trust it. How do I lean into shadows? Do I fall backward into the burning net? Do I turn sideways into the darkness of the room? “You’re overthinking,” the shadow man speaks again.“Just let go.” Let go of what? My an

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   012: Secret Prince

    [Primus] Melis looks smug, her hands on her hips, so sure that she is correct in her assumptions. "So what is it going to be," she demands, tapping her foot. "Are you going to do what I say, or do I tell the constable who you are and collect the reward," Meris raises an eyebrow, and I almost belie

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   011: Missing Millicent

    [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 insi
