The Prophecy Unfolds: Dragon Queen

by Scarlett Flame

  Vanda came to my side and placed his hand in mine the comforting buzz obvious immediately. I turned to him saying “Don’t worry, I am not upset just excited”

  Once in flight the captain came over and asked if I would like a tour around the ship which I accepted with pleasure.

  I asked lots of questions about how everything worked and he explained in fairly simple terms.

  He said the craft, or ship as he referred to it was propelled through the air by engine power provided by steam. Also the large balloon contains a gas that is lighter than air in a secure way that acts to “lift” the ship. The gas used is something that was quite rare on Earth and he said it was known as Helium. On this world though there are abundant supplies. History had shown the error of using other gases that might ignite. The gondola part that we were currently travelling in was where crew, passengers and the engines were situated. The gondola was constructed of wood and metal but the balloon was made of a special woven fabric that was especially treated to reduce the problems associated with deterioration due to the sun and weather. The balloon he explained was actually a balloon within a balloon and as the ship rose the Helium expanded.

  Once he began explaining about balancing the air and Helium he lost me a little. Yet it was good to know that he knew and understood the science involved. He explained that the “post” was known as a mooring mast. Then when he spotted that my attention was drifting further explained that it was capable of staying afloat anywhere from the few hours required to make a journey up to a number of days. He emphasised that airships were a vital tool in observing what was happening on the ground if needs be. I wasn’t too sure what to make of this comment so just nodded.

  Most of the airships I had seen on Earth were advertising blimps moored above premises or football grounds.

  Finally he described the tailfin which is what provides the vessel with a way to change direction like a boat does.

  As we chatted we were shown around the ship and were allowed briefly into the engine bay. The pulleys and levers all looked very complicated to me. Engineers were tending to them, checking and adjusting dials calmly. Brass and leather abounded here and once again the Victorian utilitarian clothing made me feel as if I had stepped back in time to a bygone era.

  My only experience on Earth was the balloons we used to celebrate birthdays and that Helium made you have a high pitched squeaky voice when inhaled.

  After our tour we joined the Captain in his personal quarters for drinks and food. I was rather glad of this as it was getting pretty awkward due to people stopping and dropping in to curtsies and bowing as we moved around the ship.

  Aston reached over and caught my hand attracting my attention instantly.

  “I can see you have enjoyed your day so far and it will continue once we arrive at the caverns. We have arranged overnight accommodation at an inn. This lies close to where we are due to land. You are looking a little tired already my love. We can travel back tomorrow once you have rested. There is no hurry so we may as well enjoy this journey with you.”

  About ten minutes later there was an announcement that we would soon be landing at the caverns. The caverns were called the Blue Caverns.

  Landing was a very gentle affair as we just seemed to drift up to the mooring mast. We hung back a little this time allowing the other people to disembark first. We bade farewell to the Captain who thanked us for honouring him with our presence. He agreed to return to this boarding point the following day to pick us up. Once again we used the lift to depart. Horses weren’t required for this part of the journey as the Blue Caverns were only a short distance from the landing area. I quickly realised that I was feeling a little tired now yet also excited at the prospect of my next visit.

  On the surface there was very little to see except a large building in the distance.

  We walked to the inn which was only about about a five minute walk from the landing. The Cavern Inn was a comfortable old inn and we were shown to our quarters quickly. I was glad to have a shower and refresh myself, then was promptly dispatched to bed for an hour or two before supper. We ate in the spacious comfy dining room at the rear of the building with a large open log fire burning brightly in the grate. Accompanied by the chattering of the locals as they watched us eat.

  When I finally returned to our room someone had pushed two double beds together. I knew that maybe sleep wasn’t on my mates minds just yet. Eager hands helped me undress and soon it was a free for all of hands and mouths as they re-reacquainted themselves with my anatomy. The electricity in the room was like a light show. Each touch igniting both my senses and arcing widely into the air about us. Each time we came together now the power was growing, sparks and blue lightening flashed and shot across the room. Energised, my nerve endings alight as they kissed and caressed my body ready to accommodate their growing erections. I was both excited and a little concerned at what might happen with all three of my werewolf mates and I all in the same bed or should I say beds? The last time we had all been in one bed together like this was after our mating ceremony. I wondered whether I would actually be capable of walking the short distance to the caverns the following day or not.

  They were attentive to my needs and as each nipple was being licked, and nipped by Vanda and Leon. I felt Aston move lower kissing a trail of hot wet kisses down my body. Until I felt his fingers swipe through my now dripping pussy as heat surged through my body like a living flame. I gasped as he sucked on my clit, gently as first then nipping harder. My breath coming in short pants, fast and hard. Heart rate speeding up as sensations hit me all at once. Teeth, lips and tongues testing my limits. I squirmed trying to escape their ministrations as my orgasm approached at brake neck speed to no avail. I might have been stronger and faster than I was originally but I was no match for three horny werewolves intent on getting off, and getting me off. My knees were trapped by strong solid arms in a vice like grip. Leon whispered in my ear “ Just let go Alex. Cum for us sweetheart.”

  Voices suddenly whispered in my brain over and over Cum for us Alex.

  I could no longer resist and my whole body felt on fire, hot and tingling as my orgasm hit me. My body rising off the bed despite their hold on me, as I thrashed and trembled. Aston moved up languidly and took possession of my mouth his tongue invading mine as as his cock thrust in to my still pulsing pussy. Vanda and Leon meanwhile had moved around. I felt myself being shifted so that now I lay face down on Aston as someone was licking bits of me in a place where I had never been licked before. A finger breached my puckered nether hole, then two. Once I was lubricated enough Vanda began to relentlessly push his cock in to me. Just as I was overwhelmed by this sensation Leon grabbed my hair and pulled my head back allowing Aston to suckle on my tender nipples. I heard Leon call my name in my head and looked up to see his cock as he pushed forward and I took a swipe with my tongue to taste the precum I could see glistening there. I opened my mouth wider as he moved closer still as my lips closed around his hot throbbing shaft and I heard him groan.

  The sounds being made by my mates took me higher still. So many strange and wonderful sensations invaded my body that when Leon came hot and hard. Spurting in hot creamy jets that hit the back of my throat as I swallowed and sucked him until I milked him dry. Aston and Vanda now had a rhythm going and I felt overfull at first. Too many sensations at once taking me into overload as I once again began to feel the rush of an orgasm. A tightness across my whole body. My face and body getting hotter and my crotch and lower body tightening and burning as it hit. Riding the waves of a tremendous orgasm as they felt my pussy tighten around their cocks and they came one after another extending my orgasm. Finally we still yet my pussy continues to pulse around them. Sated now beyond pleasure and pain and into another realm entirely. Before long we all drop off to sleep wrapped around each other like puppies. Werewolf puppies.

  The next morning, I felt better than I had in a while although finding myself a little stiff in places but happy to be stif
f. We ate breakfast then set off to visit the caverns as arranged. On the surface there was little to see apart from a very beautiful building. Murals covers the top part of the building depicting the caverns.

  As we got closer my mates at some unseen signal came closer to me. Vanda and Leon each took one of my hands, and I could sense Aston close behind bringing up the rear. They were taking no chances on anything happening to me. They tentatively probed my mind and I allowed them all in. They had become aware recently of my ability to block my mind from them at a moments notice. My powers growing daily in that respect.

  We entered the building and were greeted by some very official looking gentlemen. I shook the hands proffered as they bowed low over my hand. After some brief introductions we were led to an area at the rear of the building where the doors to a large lift was situated. The doors opened with a swish as we all climbed aboard and began our descent in to the depths of the planet. To the caverns below. Being in confined spaces have never been one of my strong points so I was trembling a little and true to form Vanda encased me in his strong arms gently kissing my neck and sending me his calming vibes.

  As the lift doors opened I got my first glimpse of an enormous cavern, walls shimmering and shining with a myriad of crystals providing a an ethereal light and supernatural ambiance to the cavern. The cavern was so huge that I couldn’t see where it ended. It was simply stunning and took my breath away.

  All the instruments, pistons, pumps and pulleys weren’t just functional as there were images of dragons, wolves, and all types of fantastical beings depicted in the brass and copper. Passing by the machinery with it’s hissing, chugging and moving parts it felt like it was a living breathing being. Brass gleamed and glimmered. I was fascinated by the fact that something so beautiful could provide something so basic. This was a work of art. A living breathing work of art. I continued on my way asking question as I did. The engineers were most obliging and explained how underground rivers than ran close by the volcano provided the majority of the steam in this series of caverns.

  We spent over an hour in the caverns exploring until I was virtually dragged away. Such an enthralling place.

  Once back at the surface my thoughts turned to food again. OMG I was turning into some primordial being. All I seemed to think about lately was food and sex. What was wrong with me? Then on reflection I thought No. I had thought of other things too. Of my people and all of the extraordinary things that I had learned since my arrival on Syros. I was becoming a more rounded individual.

  We dined promptly upon our arrival back at the inn and before long I found myself tucked up in bed with my mates surrounding me. I fell asleep my thoughts on steam and of flying through the air aboard a vast airship. Then I felt a presence and I found myself sat upon a huge dragon with gleaming scales of gold, silver and mother of pearl. It was my dragon Amrinth, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before we would meet for real. I would find her and we would explore Syros together.

  The next morning although it appeared bright and clear, Aston insisted that we had to hurry. He revealed that a storm had been forecast which could make travel somewhat dangerous. Therefore we needed to return to the pack-house as soon as we could. I was still feeling somewhat weary after overdoing it the day before. Zarina joined us for breakfast, which was some sort of porridge. Soon after, we set off for The Endevour. True to his word the captain had returned for us. His ship moored where we had disembarked, the day before. We were underway quickly heading back to the Glades.

  This time, instead of wandering the ship, we stood on deck watching the countryside fly past far below. Lost in my own thoughts, looking for anything that would help me work out where we are. I didn’t find this easy as the green, brown and yellow patchwork of fields below me seemed endless, and also endlessly the same. Every so often I would spot a little hamlet below set out in the familiar pattern of Treetops. My heart ached and as I wrapped my arms around me tightly a cold breeze sprang up suddenly out of nowhere. The hairs on my body stood up leaving a trail of goosebumps across my skin. Al at once the sky began to take on a strange greenish-grey hue, a maelstrom of angry clouds racing toward us from the North.

  The storm hit just as we arrived at the Glades. People exited quickly scurrying off as fast as they could. Once on the ground we were mounted up in mere in minutes. The anxiety of my mates was palpable. Our horses picked up on this, responding accordingly. We were on our way in half the time which unsettled me.

  Something more was happening here but I was unsure exactly what I was sensing. I could feel anxiety rolling off my mates in waves. It was increasing, climbing higher as we set off for home and to what I thought would have been safety.

  This time we sat having dinner in the hall, I looked more closely at my mates faces. They were communicating psychically and their expressions spoke volumes. Every so often their eyes would connect, then look over anxiously back and forth as if a full scale conversation was occurring. Once in a while their gaze would be directed at me but I pretended not to notice.

  I slowly chewed my food and decided to try something. I pushed my thoughts outward carefully and slowly. Tendrils of thought reaching in to their minds. Tentatively at first then once inroads had been made undetected with more force.

  I caught a jumble of words initially including dragon, rider and understanding. I closed my eyes briefly in an effort to concentrate and focus my mind. Trying to unravel this jumble of thoughts and feelings in an attempt to work out what the problem might be.

  Then I sat bolt upright and my eyes shot open as I finally understood what was happening. It wasn’t just any dragon or dragon- rider they were discussing, it was my dragon-rider. I grasped that Patros had sent a message to the wolves. He would be visiting the pack-house that very evening with some sort kind of proposition.

  I began to choke as the food I was chewing went down the wrong way as I struggled to take this news in. Strong hands began patting me on my back with queries of my well-being. I nodded that I was alright, unable to speak or make coherent sentences.

  What sort of proposition was this?

  I felt the overwhelming need to shower and make myself presentable. I needed to calm myself down or it would become obvious that I knew more than I should. If that happened the wolves may get an inkling of how my powers had evolved. This was something I wanted to keep to myself until I understood what it meant and how I could utilise this power.

  I yawned, asked to be excused and Zarina escorted me back to our rooms. I still wasn’t trusted on my own it seemed. I showered, then decided to have a power nap, to recharge my batteries. I would need all of the energy I could muster for whatever was on the cards for this evening.

  I awoke feeling somewhat brighter, dressed and began pacing up and down the length of the room. I wondered whether to ask to visit the library in order to pass the time without becoming more agitated than I already was. I needed some sort of distraction to occupy my mind. I paced a little more then could hear footsteps approaching my door, the key turned in the lock and the door pushed slowly open.

  “Good. You’re awake Alex. You are wanted in the main banqueting hall. I was sent to fetch you. Are you alright? Only you look a little flushed?” greeted Zarina.

  “Yes. Of course I'm fine. Just a little warm after my nap. What is the meeting about? Do you know?” I said.

  “I haven’t a clue. I wasn’t included in the intense conversations your mates have been indulging in since your departure earlier. They looked concerned and het up about something though, so maybe we should get a move on? “

  We set off toward the banqueting hall my heart racing faster with each step. Anticipation starting to get the better of me. I slowed my pace taking some deep soothing breaths in an attempt to slow my racing heart. It helped a little but not by much.

  Two werewolves from the elite guard were stationed either side of the doorway. Zarina and I exchanged worried looks. The doors were closed and as we approached one of them turned and knocke
d on the door before entering. Shutting the door behind him. Zarina and I now took it in turns to pace up and down outside the door as this was an unusual turn of events. After about five long minutes the guard emerged then we were beckoned in.

  As soon as I entered the room I felt Patros’s presence hit me full on. His emotions high as a kite. I shot across the room without a second thought throwing myself into his awaiting arms. He rained kisses down on me touching me all over, examining me in detail as best he could. That is, considering my werewolf mates were stood by watching . With their aggressive stance, audible growling and open hostility. Yet in that time I didn’t care who was watching. I was back where I belonged in the arms of my first mate and my love, Patros.

  He held me close, kissing my hair and stroking it gently. Pushed me away slightly, looked deep in to my eyes asking “How are you? I have missed you so much my mate.”

  “Fine. Wonderful. Now that you are here to take me home.” I responded.

  He didn’t reply, but glanced across to Aston saying. “You haven’t told her, have you? About our arrangement?”

  Aston shook his head, a frown on his face.

  “No. I thought it would be easier for us all to explain to Alex what we have agreed.”

  “You have an arrangement?” I growled.

  I stepped back from Patros looking at them all in turn.

  “When was I going to be consulted about any arrangement? When did any of you think to include me in discussions of any sort? This acting without thinking of my feelings needs to stop” I yelled.
