All Chapters of Dragon and His Phoenix : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alicia got caught running in the back door by the mistress of the manor. She smacked her hard across her face. “Where have you been? You are late!” Rosalie Richwood stood with her hands on her hips angrily expecting an answer. “I am sorry, My Lady. I went to take my bath in the stream, and I found an injured animal. I had to help,” she explained, holding her stinging face. “Get busy getting breakfast ready and get to your chores. You and those blasted animals. Get it through your head, you are not a doctor. You are a slave, an orphan, trash is all you will ever be,” the woman spat. “Yes, My Lady,” Alicia said, holding her head down to hide the tears forming in her eyes. She was used to the insults and the slaps, but that didn’t keep the words from hurting her. Alicia had taken a fall many years ago when she was but a child of eight. She remembered that her city was under attack, and she had run. She fell onto the rocks, and she could not climb back up. That is when the dragon

Corithias flew high above the clouds with his beloved Alicia holding on tightly to his back. He could smell her delicious scent of peaches and lilacs and it made him happy. Alicia was thrilled as the wind blew through her hair. She looked down to see her farm and the nearby villages becoming smaller and smaller. People looked like ants to her. If they did try to shoot at him, they were too far away now. Two dragons came towards them, and Corithias smelled Alicia’s fear. The only way he could assure her that everything was alright was to keep going towards them at a calm pace. It was his cousin and Royal Guard Tiegres and his Royal General Geoffrey coming to check on him. Corithias knew that he never should have gone down to the human kingdoms without them, but he wanted to make sure that the rogue leader and his soldier dragons were not terrorizing the humans. The irony was that the very people he tried to protect tried to kill him. The dragons made squawking sounds as they co

Corithias went back to Alicia’s room and knocked on the door. “Who is it?” Alicia called out as she sat at her vanity, being prepared for the evening meal by Natalie and Lauren. “It is me, Prince Corithias,” he said, straightening his suit. Lauren giggled and Natalie teased Alicia. “Go, let the prince in, you silly girls,” she teased, grinning at them. “My Prince,” Alicia said, bowing before them. “Alicia, please,” Corithias said, causing her to rise before him. “We are friends. Although you are more used to my dragon form, I am still the same friend you came to know. I am your dragon. When we are alone, let’s just be ourselves, okay?” He asked, kissing her hand. Alicia was mesmerized by his dazzling sapphire blue eyes. She could barely believe this human was her dragon, but obviously he was, and he was a prince. He wore the clothing and crown of a prince standing before her now, and she smiled at how handsome he looked. “My Lord, you look very handsome in your suit,” she said,

“Come, Princess, let’s celebrate our discovery! I know just the place,” he said, grinning and he took her hand and hurried outside the castle with her. Cory guided Alicia through the hidden garden and out through a path in the woods. He knocked away some vines that hid a wooden gate. Looking at Alicia’s face, he grinned mischievously and pulled the secret gate openAlicia could not believe her eyes. Outside the gate, she saw a huge crystal blue lake. He grinned at her, waiting for her reaction. To his surprise, Alicia wrapped her arms around Cory and hugged him with excitement. “Oh, Cory! I absolutely love it here!” She exclaimed. He knew that she would. “Shall we?” He asked, looking at the sparkling water. “Like this? We cannot! We have our best clothing on!” She protested. “Then, we shed our clothes and swim in our undergarments,” Cory suggested. Alicia blushed and hid her face at the idea. “Come on, Sweetheart. Let us have some fun!” Cory pleaded. Alicia stared at him for a

Judas arrived at the Valtaren Valley Castle, the Rogue Kingdom, Luxe Province. Alvarez, the Castle’s Chief Guard met him to find out what was the purpose of his visit. Judas told him he had vital information about the Fire bird princess. Alvarez escorted him immediately to King Cyrus. Cyrus lounged on a pile of firs with several young females around him. “Well, well, Judas. Have you brought me something interesting?” The big rugged looking man asked, smiling. Cyrus stood, fully naked and unashamed. “Why should he be?” Judas thought, trying not to stare at the Fierce Mountain of rock-solid muscle. The scars on his body baring the testament of many hard-fought battles. It was hard to look at the jagged scar from his forehead to his jaw, blinding his right eye. There was another long, jagged scar going across his chest. Both of these wounds were sustained when Prince Corithias defended the Lithuacia Kingdom. “Your Grace, I have found the Fire Bird Princess. I know her whereabout
