First Dragon: Blood Ties

I have lived 30000000 years... The time has passed by so quickly and the memories and knowledge have stayed with me.. So has the pain.. So has the love.. So has betrayal. And death... So much death and loss.. One thing I never lost is my power... My father said, if I created so many, I may lose my powers... He was wrong.. He only created five of us, me being his first born.. And his power left him.. Mine never did... It has grown to a point that I have too much of it... It is time to give it back. My time on this plane is drawing short.. It is soon the time I go to the Elder Waters and join my sisters. My children, so many of them, however are still at wars.. They are still fighting, as the mortal plane around them is collapsing. Even my immortal children that walk this Earth have succumbed to the everyday natures of this world.... It was so different, so many moons ago... When vampire blood was pure... When my Lycans and Wares walked in their packs and had dignity... My fairies and t

He was enormous. He easily towered closest volcano with his wings outstretched. I looked up to see his face only to be surprised when my son’s face came from the other side of me… His enormous gold and orange scaled body was wrapped in the circle around me, his giant paws resting on the soil from which he came. His wings were now fully stretched, and I could see their magnificence… I turned to face his ember orbs only to be met with warmth of his breath as he nudged my face… A low emitting sound came from him looking at me.. There I stood – my silver eyes gently looking at my son… I stretched my hand and touched his face… Kal…For the moment, nothing else matters. I held my child’s face in my palms, and for that moment, nothing else mattered. Show me your other form I said… Hearing my words, a swift sound of wind came over me… Next to me, stood a creature on his upper legs mirroring mine with chocolate gold skin towering by a feet over me.. The ember orbs were the same, his raven hai

Silence and tension fell as Emma stepped out.. I tried to focus, but inexplicable feeling overtook my every thought. I was conflicted. Was I happy? Relived ? Worried? Scared? Confused? The tornado of emotions hit me with absolute, raw, crippling force. Was that her Madam, Mateo asks... Is that her? Is that Catherine’s daughter? I sigh.. Yes..Not willing to admit to myself or him.. But yes, it is her... She has her eyes...Mateo looks at me in the rear-view mirror and I give him a tiny smile... The child is even more beautiful than I thought... She has retained her innocence, a rare quality in this world anymore... My thoughts drift and I am sent back in time.. All my first tribe human children had those eyes. I think back of the lush gardens of my birthplace and my Father ... So much time has passed... Where to Madam? Mateo asks and snaps me from a daydream... The mountain cabin will do.. I need to be in the forest...Understood... Should I notify anyone else?Not yet Mateo, not ye

The days were going slow.. I have been wanting to go back to Bavaria and spend time with my son, but the work in California was becoming more demanding by the minute. The meeting of the Council was in two weeks and there was a lot to prepare for... Things have been changing faster than we thought.. The unexplained attacks in our European strongholds were increasing and we could not find its source... I have reached out to the vampire covens to find the source of this, but so far, we got very little back as a result. In fact, Celia assured me that it will be done, yet it was not.. This was highly irregular; her fighters were from oldest vampire families and strongest... Yet, few of them turned up dead... Last team she sent to Italy did not come back yet... We have heard from her team in Siberia, but they found nothing... The searchcontinues.. There is something very strange and unsettling about all this.. Only my mother could summon a power such as this to go against me... But, we hav

Kal’s POVMy anger is still simmering within me, but I have an interview to do. Yes, she is late, and yes, she is human, but my Seer has never been wrong. For centuries, the old crone has served me well, and I had no reason to doubt her now.Although, looking at the tiny human in front of me, I was starting to wonder.I moved slowly as not to scare her.. Her big eyes were staring at me.. She clearly has not moved from where Valor left her. Not sure what was happening to her hair, and I could not decipher if that was the look of youth nowadays, but I did not care for it. Easy Kal, she is not here for her looks. Talk to her, I hear my dragon’s voice.. Sometimes, the beast made more sense than me.I gesture to a chair across my table on the other side and she does not move. Did she not see me? Does she not understand?Miss. Brook, I am on limited time, and you are already late. Would you like to sit down please? I am not going to ask again.With this she nods. Oh good, she does hear me.
