The Dragon Thief Chapter 22: Confrontation
Ryuki waits with sword in hand,To burn the chains across the land.Together, they shall rise and stand,The storm, the flame, the last command.SkylarI get as close to the castle as I dare, then wait for the dragons to attack. I need to focus, but all I can see is Ryuki, standing naked in front of me. I’ve never seen a naked man before, although I know what a penis is, I know how babies are made. But holy cow. I had no idea it was that big!And do they always stand up straight like that? It seems like that would be very uncomfortable walking around like that all day.His clothes have the earthy, fiery scent of Bynjym mixed with Ryuki's masculine scent. It’s surprisingly attractive. I press the shirt to my nose, taking a deep breath of the scent, just as the dragons descend on the castle.I didn’t know how they would attack, but they came from above and dive-bombed the castle sending flames in every direction. I take a moment to watch their aerial display of color and symmetry. The fi
The Dragon Thief Chapter 21: The Silver Egg
Still Skylar walks the narrow ledge,Her oath writ deep on mountain’s edge:To steal, to save, to pay the price,To shield the hatchling’s sacrifice.Ryuki‘Are we going to discuss the large dragon in the room?’ Bynjym asks.‘Which dragon might that be?’ I ask, feigning ignorance.‘The giant queen dragon, Ryuki. Are you going to admit that you are falling for the princess?’‘I’m not falling for anyone. I appreciate what she’s done the dragons.’‘Uh huh. I definitely didn’t feel a spike in your respect for her when she stood her ground against Ylys. Nor did I feel your spike in jealousy when she said she’s betrothed to the prince who is out hunting our eggs.’‘I’m not sure why you’d expect me to understand my feelings for her. You don’t seem to understand your feelings for her,’ I say defensively.‘But I am a dragon. You are a man and she is a woman. I would think that would make your feelings much more clear.’You would think.As we get closer to Tymyr’s nest, Bynjym bugles his approac
The Dragon Thief Chapter 20: Confronting Kenneth
Should he unveil his daughter’s game,He’ll cast her life to ash and flame.The thief revealed, the crown defied,No plea, no mercy, none allied.SkylarI’ve been gone too long. I know that. This time, I didn’t have time to come up with a plan for a reason that I was out of sight.I carefully make my way back into the castle. Since I thought I was just going to talk to Bynjym, I didn’t put on my cloak or my egg snatching clothes. I just wore a simple dress, one I could put on by myself, so I could move quickly.When I get back to the castle, there’s a lot of commotion. I grab one of the servants and find out that Kenneth and his group have returned.I race to my room and find Genevieve there waiting for me.“Milady! Where have you been?”“I went for a walk. How long as Prince Kenneth been back?” I ask her.“Long enough that he’s asked for you but not so long that I wasn’t able to stall.”“You’re the best, Gen, thank you! Hurry, let’s make me presentable.”She helps me to quickly get dr
The Dragon Thief Chapter 19: The Queen's Response
Yet danger breathes on every side,For truth too long must cease to hide.The king, with eyes like coals alight,Now scents the wind and smells the blight.Ryuki‘Tell me you didn’t know she was a princess,’ I snarl at Bynjym.‘How would I know that?’ he asks me.He’s been giving me the running commentary between Ylys and Skylar, so I know what they've been talking about.‘I don’t know! That breathing thing you do,’ I say.‘It tells us who you are at your core, Ryuki. Being a princess is a title, it’s not the same thing.’‘So Ylys didn’t know either?’ I ask, watching as Ylys leans forward to look at Skylar again.This time, her look is a bit more menacing and while I’m not thrilled to learn that Skylar is a royal, I also don’t want Ylys to kill her.I didn’t hear what Ylys said to her, but Skylar’s response shocks me. She shoves Ylys’ muzzle.“Knock it off, Ylys. You’ve breathed in my scent or whatever the hell you do when you sniff me. I’m the one who has returned the eggs to you. ME!
The Dragon Thief Chapter 18: Talking to Ylys
But Ryuki, forged in flight and flame,Would die before he brought them shame.Their hearts entwine like roots of old,In love unbought, in legends bold.SklyarOhh, that dragon! He is SO arrogant. I swear if he didn’t have the ability to burn the people in the castle to ash, I’d have continued to ignore him.I mean, the nerve of him! As if I’ll just drop everything I’m doing so I can abide by his every whim. Like I’m going to rush to talk to him just because he’s a dragon and beckoned me to come.And THEN, the audacity of him saying that I’m putting lives in front of me as a shield … like a coward. I’ll show him a coward.He definitely wasn’t happy when I told him I’d rather be a coward than a murderer. Two can play this game, silver.Then, the arrogant dragon had the nerve to carry me away! He said he wanted to talk. I can’t just go off and not expect people to wonder where I am. I already have King Solomon breathing down my neck and if Kenneth returns while I’m gone, he’ll ask quest
The Dragon Thief Chapter 17: Confronting Bynjym
Her heart, once pledged to hollow throne,Now beats for one whose path is lone.For Kenneth, prince with heart of stone,Knows naught of flame nor dragon bone.Ryuki‘So, what’s the plan?' I ask Bynjym.‘We’re going to pick her up and bring her here to Ylys,’ he says.I stare at my dragon. ‘You can’t just fly into a castle, pluck her off the ground, and bring her here,” I say.‘Why not?’‘Because it’s dangerous.” I say slowly, as if my dragon is missing the vital point of this conversation. ‘Because they have harpoons. Because they want us dead.’‘They don’t want us dead, they just want our eggs,’ he says, ignoring my aggravation that the dragons aren’t taking this more seriously.‘Do you really think that if you start scooping up their people they won't start hunting all of us down to kill us?’ I ask.‘We aren’t scooping up everyone. Just Skylar. We don’t care about the others.’‘Bynjym …’ I begin.‘Ylys has requested we bring Skylar to her, so we shall,’ he says.I sigh. I know there
