CooperThat was some tough love.

The Dragon Thief Chapter 48: Acceptance
So choose your side and guard your breath, For truth rides close on wings of death. A crown may fall, a world may change, When love and fire rearrange. SkylarI’m not sure what it was that finally made me realize that I will never be able to convince my father or Kenneth to stop hunting the dragons, but in that moment, I finally realized what it meant to be Cyryl’s rider.‘Now you understand,’ Cyryl says to me across the beach.‘Yes. I have to choose a side. There is no way to bridge this gap. There is no other way than war.’Even as I say it, I know that it means the death of people that I have loved, people who are or were my family. But I cannot turn a blind eye to what they are doing. The only way for us to win is for Cyryl and me to grow stronger together. We will become the leaders of our thunder. We will be the ones who strengthen the dragons and bring them to the forefront of the war. We will not longer be on the defensive. Once Cyryl is an adult, we will go on the offensiv
The Dragon Thief Chapter 47: My Dragons
For love is fierce when bonds run deep,And dragon hearts no cage can keep.Let kingdoms fall and empires break, The Dragon Thief will rise, awake.Ryuki‘Feeling smug, are we?’ Bynjym asks me.‘Says the dragon who is currently wrapped around his queen,’ I retort.'I’d say my plan worked.’‘YOUR plan? What plan was that?’ I ask.‘The one where I feigned being asleep so Skylar was forced to have you go into the water with her to ‘keep her safe’,’ he snickers. We both know Bynjym would never let anything happen to Skylar. She’s our queen’s rider. Next to Cyryl, she’s the most important being in the thunder.‘Some would argue that Skylar is the most important being in the thunder,’ he says.‘Explain,’ I say, turning to look at my dragon who is still lying on the beach in the sun.After making her come, Skylar fell asleep in my arms. Since she seems comfortable, I decided to stay in the water and I'm slowly swaying as I walk around to help her stay asleep.‘Without Skylar, Cyryl will peri
The Dragon Thief Chapter 46: When You're Ready
Ryuki waits with sword and flame,To stand beside her and stake his claim.Together now, the fire burns,The tide will shift; the balance turns.SklyarFor some reason, when Ryuki says I’m special, I feel special. He believes in me more than anyone ever has. My father appreciated that I was a good daughter and that I acted like a royal princess, knowing my place and accepting my role in life.Kenneth appreciated that I was an attractive, well put together princess who would make him look good, quietly accept her role in life, and have his heirs with no muss or fuss.Ryuki sees me for the woman I am. He doesn’t care that I’m a royal. He doesn’t care that I’m proper in all the ways that have always mattered in my life. He accepts that I am who I am.I’ve suddenly realized that I want more than the life I was expected to accept. I want to live my own life. I want to live free, free to be a dragon rider or kiss a man I barely know but who seems to understand me better than the people who h
The Dragon Thief Chapter 45: Bathing
So Skylar walks the blade’s thin edge,A vow upon the mountain ledge.She’ll steal the eggs, she’ll bear the cost,She’ll right the wrongs her kin have lost.RyukiAs I watch Skylar struggling with the idea of getting naked in front of me, I reach out to Bynjym.‘Why aren’t you reassuring her that you’ll watch out for her?’‘Because then she might not swim with you. Besides, I have my queen right where I want her. It’s time for you to get your queen right where you want her,’ he says.‘Cyryl would not appreciate that,’ I tell him.‘Cyryl wore herself out and is sleeping soundly, which is why I know that Skylar is having quite amorous feelings about you.’‘She is?’ I ask.‘Yes. She’s nervous, but she’s very attracted to you. She’s thinks you’re very muscular and …’He snickers. ‘Large.’Large? I’m pretty standard when it comes to the height of males. Maybe I’m a bit tall at six feet, but I’m not so large that she would be taking notice.‘Not your height, idiot, your manhood.’My … I loo
The Dragon Thief Chapter 44: The Lake
And if he learns his daughter’s game,Her life will burn in royal flame.The thief unmasked, the crown betrayed,No mercy in the debt unpaid.SkylarI’m overwhelmed by the beauty of the world from up here in the sky, so I jump a little when Ryuki tells me to hold on.His voice sends a shiver through my body again.I lay my hands on Ryuki’s arms, where he’s kept them wrapped tightly around me.The moment Bynjym dives, I press my body into Ryuki’s and grab onto his arms in a death grip.“Tighten your legs. Hold on to Bynjym, not me. The stronger your legs are, the easier it will be to keep your seat,” he says gently.“I’m not used to having my legs … open like this,” I tell him.“That’s why you need to practice. Even if your legs muscles were strong, you’d have a hard time staying on a dragon with them spread wide like this. It’s something new and you’ll begin to feel new muscles strengthening the more you ride.”“That sounds like fun,” I say sarcastically.“Would you agree that it’s wor
The Dragon Thief Chapter 43: Flight
Yet danger stalks on every side,For secrets kept cannot long hide.The king now hunts with sharper eyes,Suspicion rising as the dragon flies.SkylarAfter greeting each of the dragons and their riders, Ryuki joins me around the fire pit. Surprisingly, Cyryl joins us too.‘Are you still hungry?’ I ask her.‘I’m always hungry. I’m a growing dragon and a queen,’ she says, haughtily.Ryuki begins laughing beside me. He twisted around to look at Bynjym, who is watching us.“If it makes you feel any better, I call Bynjym a bottomless pit. If you think Queen Cyryl will outgrow the need to eat all the time, you’re mistaken,” he says.‘Dragons are very active.’‘We burn a lot of calories.’‘We are very large animals.’‘Some of us are still young.’I get a barrage of dragon voices in my head all at once, like they’re all trying to justify their need to eat a lot to me.“Are you alright?” Ryuki asks, reaching out to place his hand on my arm.“Yes. I just …” I look around. “I’m not used to all t
The Dragon Thief Chapter 42: The Life of a Rider
While Ryuki, fierce in tooth and scale,Would stand with her through storm and hail.A fire sparks, then slowly grows,What path to choose, she barely knows.Ryuki“Do you have any idea what time it is?” Skylar asks as we walk to the trees.‘Bynjym?’ I ask since I have no idea. The sky is very dark,
The Dragon Thief Chapter 40: Transfer of Power
The rider sees the fire within,A rebel soul, a kindred kin.Though blood may mark her royal name,Her heart has fled the throne of shame.SkylarSomehow, I once again wake up in Ryuki’s arms.“What do you mean you’re hoping I can answer it for you. You don’t know what happened to me either?” I ask.
The Dragon Thief Chapter 39: Possessive
“I’m Skylar, daughter of the crown,Yet all my life I’ve been let down.My father steals what can’t be bought,Without a care or conscious thought.”RyukiI have no idea how Skylar did what she did, but Bynjym said she gave Thyyd the strength to get Symy to us and then … then she began healing Symy.
The Dragon Thief Chapter 38: Queens
But in her gaze, a storm of stars,A sorrow deep as dragon scars.She sheds the mask, the truth she speaks,Of hidden days and stolen weeks.SkylarI have no idea what just came over me. I kissed Ryuki. I kissed him and my entire body responded.That never happened with Kenneth. My body didn’t respo
