Chapter 61: Beginning to Fly

By fate or star or twist of thread,To Skylar’s path, this rider’s led.He meets the thief beneath the moon,A blade, a breath, a shadowed boon.RyukiNever in my life have I experienced anything like what I just experienced with Skylar. I knew I wanted her. I know Bynjym wants Cyryl. But what we just experienced transcended anything that should be humanly possible.‘Was that so powerful because you and Cyryl were involved?’ I ask Bynjym as I carefully slide out of Skylar.I felt her entire body go lax after she passed out from the force of her orgasm. When Cyryl is older, that won’t happen. Bynjym held onto my consciousness which is the only reason I didn’t join Skylar in her blissful unconsciousness.‘It was partly because we were involved and partly because our queen is so powerful. Dragons don’t usually get involved when their humans mate, but Cyryl and Skylar are very bonded already. Cyryl and I both felt Skylar’s desire to mate, which drew us into your consciousness.’I carefully

Chapter 62: Lack of Oxygen

The dragons, proud and fierce in flight,Guard ancient truths and sacred right.Their eggs are gems of breath and flame,Yet stolen now in power’s name.SkylarNow that I’ve been given control of my own life, I’m finding that I really enjoy having control. Ryuki was right, I loved being on top.I wasn’t exactly sure what he meant about riding his face, but I learned quickly and I found it extremely erotic to watch him watch me as he made me come.Then he helped me get a rhythm of riding him and that was really fun. I liked trying different speeds, swirling my hips, sliding back and forth, then bouncing on him until I made both of us come multiple times. I felt very powerful watching as I made a strong man like Ryuki come. Seeing the hungry, possessive look in his eyes as he watched me just added to my overall pleasure.The power of my orgasms had woken Cyryl, and she and Bynjym had pushed into our minds again, making me come so hard I screamed almost as loudly as Bynjym roared.‘Trust

Chapter 63: Nests and Scouts

For kings and queens, their hunger wide,Would trade all love to mount and ride.They scorn the bond, they steal by night,To claim the sky through wrongful right.Ryuki‘Our queen did very well,’ Bynjym says proudly.He’s right. It’s natural to panic when you can’t breathe, but she didn't.It was Bynjym’s first lesson to me, that a dragon will never let their rider die, that kept me from panicking when he first took me up so high in the sky. It takes practice to adjust to the thinner air, but it also requires complete and absolute trust in your dragon.It was one of many difficult lessons Bynjym taught me. I had to learn to trust him implicitly with my life and to know that he would never let anything or anyone harm me, even if protecting me kills him.It’s an immense responsibility for a dragon rider. It’s one of the reasons I despise the royals so much. They want the power that comes from being a rider, but they don’t understand the responsibility that goes along with it.The dragon

Chapter 64: Weakness

So cloak and dagger, hood and knife,She walks the path, the dragon’s life.By torchless trail and starless ridge,She dares the depths, to cross the bridge.SkylarI’m not sure Ryuki realized that Cyryl was blowing her fire just as much as Bynjym. Hers isn’t as strong as his, nor does it extend as far because she’s still young, but she is already showing her ferocity when it comes to protecting the thunder.When we got to Kythyr’s nest, Bynjym found another scouting party. Yntyn may be a weak silver by silver standards, but he is still more agile than the lesser ranked dragons. He, Bynjym, and Cyryl were able to take out the scouts much faster which was good because the muscles in my legs were screaming after riding Bynjym through two rounds of aerial aeronautics. If it wasn’t for Ryuki’s strong arms around my waist, holding me to Bynjym’s back, I would have surely lost my seat.‘You did very well. Once I’m strong enough, we will practice every day,’ Cyryl says, crooning at me.“Bynjy

Chapter 65: 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.RyukiAs expected, Skylar was barely able to walk the day after Bynjym attacked the two scouting parties. However, Skylar being the queen she is, insisted that I sit her near the hatchlings so she could encourage them to start trying to fly.I’m not sure if she realized how competitive her dragon is or if she was just trying to get the hatchlings to start practicing flight, but Cyryl came over and made sure that she rose higher and stayed in the air longer than any of her clutch mates.Skylar and I made sure to clap the longest and loudest for her.Since Shao is gone with Mara, there’s no one to argue about Skylar and me sleeping together. Mihai and Dion have no chance of flying Cyryl. If Pytryck had a rider, that person could conceivably try to keep Skylar and I from getting closer so it doesn’t impact Cyryl’s mating flight. But he doesn’t have a r

Chapter 66: Free Will

He sees within a fire the same,A soul unbowed by blood or name.And she, in him, the sky set free,Not chained by kings, but destiny.SkylarWhile Ryuki and I bathe, I think about what he said. Can I really harness the power of the thunder?I look at where Cyryl is flying in the air around Bynjym's head. They’re playfully snapping at each other. I suddenly realize that she's nearly three-quarters of his size. Before I know it, she'll be a fully matured dragon.Rather than think about that, I focus on what Ryuki said. What would power like that look like? I know I’m getting stronger because I’m bonded to Cyryl. I also know that eventually, she’ll be stronger than Bynjym and he’s a very powerful dragon.“What’s going on in that intelligent mind of yours, Skylar?” Ryuki asks, pulling me to him.I wrap my legs around his waist, tracing the now familiar lines of his muscular body.“The power that you spoke of … do you really think I could pull from all the dragons?”“I think it’s something

Chapter 67: Bonding Flight

And 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.RyukiIt was a risk telling Skylar how I felt about her. She’s obviously shown a preference for me over the other riders, but I wasn’t sure how much of that was her and how much was driven by Cyryl and the rest of the thunder.When she told me she was falling in love with me, it felt like everything that has happened in my past, every terrible and every wonderful thing, has brought me to this place. It brought me to her.It was the first time our dragons didn’t connect in our minds when we were together. Usually, they join us when we mate, but not this time. Still, it was one of the most incredible moments of my life. I could feel Skylar’s love for me just as I hope she could feel mine for her.When we walk out of the water, I take her hand as we get our clothes and get dressed.‘Queen Cyryl, I think you should try to fly on your own for

Chapter 68: The Bond

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 didn’t know what to expect when I rode Cyryl for the first time. With all the power I’ve started to harness, every new thing, everything that will make me stronger, scares me. I already have more power than I feel like I should and power has a way of getting out of control. It's why I needed his reassurance before I took this flight with Cyryl. I trust Ryuki and I know he'll always be honest with me.I also know that’s why Ryuki has insisted that we practice using this power. The more I practice, the more I realize that he’s right about many things. I am getting stronger and I’m able to harness the power of more dragons as I get stronger.What worries me is the purpose of this power. Why do I have it? Why now? Why me?‘Because you are a queen’s rider, Skylar. Our thunder has been dwindling in its numbers. We have become wea

Chapter 69: Flight Training

He sees within a fire the same,A soul unbowed by blood or name.And she, in him, the sky set free,Not chained by kings, but destiny.Ryuki‘She thought our queen was going to go easy on her,’ Bynjym chuckles as we watch Skylar once again lose her seat.My stomach tightens, hating to see her in freefall, but I know Cyryl will never let her fall to her death.The day after Skylar’s bonding flight with Cyryl, her training started. Just like Bynjym, probably partly because of Bynjym, Cyryl’s first lesson for Skylar was to trust that she will never let her fall to her death.I’d watched on Bynjym’s back as Cyryl rose high in the sky. According to Bynjym, Skylar was feeling overly confident in her ability to keep her seat. Cyryl taught her two very important lessons at once. Never become complaisant while you’re flying and know that your dragon would kill themselves trying to save you before they let you fall to your death.I knew what was going to happen because Bynjym was making sure Cyr

Chapter 70: Ryuki's Suggestion

With Bynjym bound in soul and scale,He guards the flight, he guards the tale.He fights the lords who steal with might,And shields the eggs through storm and night.Skylar“So, I’ve been thinking,” Ryuki begins.I love coming to the lake. First, it always feels good to wash off the grime of living outside. Now that Ryuki and I are sexually active all the time, it’s good to make sure my hygiene remains good as well. But here, I also feel like I can just be me. I remember when Ryuki first brought me here and I had to strip off my shirt and bare myself to the world. I felt so exposed, so raw. Now, I feel free. I love the feeling of the sun on my skin, warming me and making my body tingle in anticipation, or like now, the sun is kissing my skin and keeping the tingles from our recent lovemaking humming through my body.He sucks on one of my nipples which always seem hard these days, ready for him at any moment.“About what?” I ask, sliding my fingers through his hair. That’s another nice
