Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 153: The Aetherborn, The Dragon Heir & The End
The great gates of Aetherborn Academy opened slowly with a deep, ancient rumble as two figures stepped through the glowing portal. Magic rippled through the air like a quiet storm settling after a long journey. Seraphine Vale and Damien Drakaris had returned. The courtyard beyond the gates looked just as Seraphine remembered it, vast stone pathways, towering silver trees glowing faintly with enchanted light, and the tall Gothic towers of the academy rising into the twilight sky. Yet something felt different. Word of their return had already spread. Students had gathered across the courtyard balconies and stairways, whispering excitedly among themselves. Professors stood in small groups nearby, their expressions curious and relieved. But standing at the center of the courtyard were the ones who mattered most. The High Council. They waited in a quiet line, their long robes moving gently in the evening breeze. Their faces were calm, but their eyes watched Seraphine and Damien ca
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 152: Gone, Girlfriend & Goodbye
Morning sunlight slipped softly through the curtains, painting golden lines across the quiet room. Damien Drakaris stood near the center of the room, staring down at his hands as if they belonged to someone else. Slowly, he closed his eyes. He focused on the feeling inside him, the ancient heat that had once vanished from his blood. The dragon. It had been gone, silent. But now... He breathed in deeply. Power surged through his veins. A shimmer of golden scales flashed across his arms, and with a sudden burst of magic, his body shifted. Wings unfolded behind him, massive and powerful, filling the room for only a moment before the transformation reversed. In seconds, he was human again. Damien laughed in disbelief. He tried again. Another surge of magic. Another transformation. Dragon. Then human. He fell back onto the bed, breathless, a huge smile spreading across his face. "My dragon..." he whispered. "It's really back." For the first time in so long, he felt whole. A
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 151: Sex, Seraphine & Strange
"Make love to me now." For a moment, the words seemed to freeze the air between them. Damien Drakaris stared at her, his breath uneven, his dark eyes searching her face as if he feared he had misunderstood. "Seraphine..." he whispered. Seraphine Vale did not look away. Her fingers rested against his chest, feeling the rapid rhythm of his heart beneath her palm. The dim light of the room wrapped around them, soft and warm, while the faint night breeze slipped through the curtains. "I'm serious," she said quietly. "I want you." Damien swallowed. "Are you sure?" he asked gently. "I don't want this to be something you regret." Seraphine lifted her hand to his face, brushing her fingers along his cheek. "I won't regret you." The sincerity in her voice melted the last of his hesitation. Slowly, carefully, he leaned closer and kissed her again. This time the kiss was softer, deeper, not rushed, not desperate. It was a kiss filled with everything they had been holding back: longing,
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 150: Chicken, Crush & Connection
The night air of the human world felt different. Cooler. Quieter. Almost fragile. "So this is where you grew up," Damien said immediately as both of them were taking a stroll. Seraphine smiled slightly. "Yep. No floating islands. No magical beasts. Just people trying to survive and eat good food." Damien raised an eyebrow. "Good food?" Seraphine suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Come on." Before he could protest, she dragged him down the street and into a small roadside restaurant buzzing with laughter and clinking bottles. A few people glanced at them, mostly because Damien looked like he had just stepped out of a royal portrait but Seraphine ignored them. She sat down at a plastic table and pointed at the menu on the wall. "We're starting with the most important thing in the human world." Damien folded his arms. "And what would that be?" Seraphine grinned. "Fried chicken." Minutes later, a plate piled high with crispy golden chicken landed in front of them. Damien stared at i
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 149: My parent, My sister & My friend
The fall felt endless. Seraphine Emberlain and Damien Drakaris tumbled through the rift like stars torn from the sky. Wind roared around them. Colors twisted violently: silver, blue, emerald, white, spiraling through the void as the portal carried them between worlds. Every nerve in Damien's body burned. It felt as if something inside him was being pulled apart and rebuilt at the same time. His vision blurred. Light shattered across his eyes. Then- Everything stopped. Their bodies hit the ground with a dull thud. For several seconds neither of them moved. The world around them was quiet. Too quiet. Damien gasped for air, his hands pressing into the cold, damp soil beneath him. He slowly pushed himself up. His head was spinning. He expected glowing skies. Floating mountains. Magic humming in the air the way it did in Aetherborn. But instead- He saw trees. Plain trees. Tall, rough-barked trunks stretching upward into a gray sky. No glowing leaves. No magical currents. Just win
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 148: Portal, Prince & Power
Morning light spilled gently through the tall windows of Seraphine's room. The academy grounds were unusually calm today, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Seraphine stood beside her bed, folding the last few clothes into a small travel bag. She paused for a moment, looking around the room. It felt strange. Only a few weeks ago this had been just a temporary place while she figured out what Aetherborn Academy even was. Now it felt like home. She closed the bag slowly. Today she would return to the human world. Not forever. Just long enough to settle the pieces of the life she had left behind. Her mind drifted back to the conversation she had earlier with Damien. He had agreed to go with her but the decision hadn't been easy. They had met in one of the quieter gardens near the academy towers. For the first time since the essence transfer, Seraphine noticed how different Damien felt. The golden aura that once surrounded him as a dragon prince was completely gone.

Professor Vivienne’s eyes gleamed with quiet pride. “There it is,” she murmured. “Elemental resonance.” Seraphine stood trembling, the storm humming at her fingertips. It felt alive, wild, and beautiful, and hers. Then, just as quickly as it came, it faded, the air dropping still. The professor
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 77: Elemental, Energy & Emotions
Morning sunlight spilled through the arched windows of Seraphine’s room, painting ripples of gold across the air. The faint hum of enchantment stirred around her bed, the room itself seemed to stretch and sigh awake. She rolled out of the soft cloudlike sheets, yawning, still hazy from the night’s
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 76: Damien, Dreams & Dare
“Damien?” Seraphine blinked, her hand still on the door. “It’s late.” He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed loosely, that lazy half-smile playing at his lips. “I know. Thought I’d check on you before the night eats you alive.” She arched an eyebrow. “You mean before I fall asleep?” “Sema
Welcome to Aetherborn: Crushes, Curses & Creatures 75: Caleb, Cressida & Castle
The walk to the Wyverndale dining hall felt endless, though every corner they turned dazzled her with something new, floating orbs of silver flame lighting the path, murals that shifted subtly when she passed, whispering in forgotten tongues. And then the hall opened before them. It was massive
