Glory and Deathbringer

Light seeped into through the trees of the canopy as rainwings and night wings lived as one, mixed tribe. It was a hectic world full of chaos and arguments. Rainwings and Nightwings weren't getting along so well. Nightwings made too much noise during sun time, or Rainwings kept scaring the nightwings by blending and changing scale colors. The only thing keeping Glory from going insane, was probably Deathbringer. As queen, she forever had to deal with complaints, requests, and more complaints every single minute of every day. With her newly given throne, Glory finally had her place where she fit in.

Although she had to deal with so many issues, she had fixed the major ones. Rainwings who requested to have eggs together, couldn't keep them in one big nursery anymore. They had to raise them themselves. Additionally, she had Starflight and Riptide send over thousands of scrolls for Rainwings to get educated. Finally and most importantly, she made rules that you must keep your children as part of your family. Once all the issues were taken care of, Glory felt finally at peace. One night, her peace of knowing the day had ended was interrupted.

Glory's POV

The day was finally over! I could eventually go back to my chambers and sleep like the happy rainwing I wanted to be. The crickets were chirping already as the sun was setting before my eyes. Everyone had gone back to their hammocks, and platforms. I felt truly like a queen knowing I had my own special cave all to myself. As I was about to leave the throne room I desperately loathed after nine hours of being there, something brush against tail.

"Hello beautiful." To my surprise it was a rainwing advisor who was a little bit older than me, but not my much. Maybe three or four years. In my head I wanted to say, " Thank you" but I ended up saying, " That shouldn't be how you talk a queen. No matter how much older you are." All he did was smirk down at me and come closer. He was making me feel uncomfortable so I tried moving away. Alas, he kept creeping closer towards me.

" What are you doing?" I asked in a voice that implied I was uncomfortable. I knew who he was, but I had never really noticed him as a possible mate. " Just admiring the view." I laughed. Maybe he was just a big flirt. " Yeah, the sun set is kind of beautiful. I never noticed how pretty it was until I first came to the rainforest." He shrugged at me and said, " I wasn't talking about that view." His pinkish scales turned into a confident purple glow. To my knowledge it meant he was ready to mate. Thats when he crossed the line.

" Ok. I think it's time to go." He laughed and joked, " Really, so soon. I thought we would have to get to know each other better, but I guess thats fine with me." As soon as I was about to loose my nerve, he leaned in and kissed me. It felt so weird. Almost like someone was stopping me from breathing. In the same time I felt a sense of strong satisfaction. Before I let myself enjoy it too much, I decided to push him back.

" Hey." He said giggling. " I thought you were enjoying that." He came back to me and this time his chest pressed up against mine. I breathed heavily as it was very odd for me. Don't let out your temper, Glory. Just keep it in and act civilized. I felt as if I was a piece of fruit. He was so close I could feel his breathes on my snout. " Go away. This isn't how it works." I put one paw on the line between his chest and neck to push him away for a second time.

" It's working for me." As I was about to curse at him, his lips once again connected to mine. As i tried pushing him away for the third time, but he grabbed my waist with his talons. I was fine with his straightforward flirting, but when his tongue penetrated me mouth, I lost it. And I lost it bad.

My claws went directly for his neck, but before i could reach him I heard a wing flap from above my head. Even before I could understand what was happening, Deathbringer came from the sky and thrashed at the flirty rainwing. He knocked him against the wall with a cold stare in his eyes. It was as if he wasn't even Deathbringer anymore and he suddenly became a cold blooded assassin.

" How dare you!?" he yelled bashing him against the wall. The rainwing coughed in pain as Deathbringer slowly squeezed his neck. I could see his teeth growling at him with deeper hatred than Scarlet had for me. " Deathbringer! Let him go!" Deathbringer ignored me as he chocked my advisor to death. I saw blood come from his snout. " DEATHBRINGER!" As I yelped his name he let go. My advisor coughed more up blood than I had ever seen. As I ran over, Deathbringer stood in front of me.

Once again Deathbringer grabbed his neck, but only lightly. " Listen to me closely! You ever- and I mean ever come within fifty feet of her again and I will personally rip off your arm, shove it down your throat, and use it to squeeze your heart until it stops beating! And remember this, the only reason you are still alive is because your queen believes in non violent punishment!" I was shocked at Deathbringer's violent and disturbing words. His eyes had become a dark red of anger and his scales perked up in caution.

" Get lost!" He yelled as he let go of his neck. The injured dragon whimpered and flew off faster than a skywing. I stood there wide eyed and aghast at Deathbringer. As he blinked and began breathing normally, his eyes nimbly became dark brown again.

" I'm sorry Glory. I think I just got a little mad." I was so touched at his caring nature, but yet I feared his dark violent side. " It's okay. I know you were only trying to protect me."

Deathbringer's POV

I had frightened Glory and her eyes told the whole story. She was traumatized by my behavior and... well... assassin like way of attacking someone. But it isn't like it wasn't justifiable. I mean he did hit on her, and touch her, and kiss her. All those things he did to the dragoness that was supposed to be mine. I looked down to the ground and then at Glory looking straight at me with disappointment. " I'm really sorry. I- I just- I want to keep you safe and you obviously didn't want him to do what he doing. And he-" Glory came up to me and hugged me close for a second. I was much taller than her, so as she embraced me her head was only at my neck.

" I'm really sorry." It was the second time I had said it, but it still didn't seem to be enough. Her hug wasn't so much affectionate as to shut me up, but I still felt a hint of caring. " Deathbringer I don't care that you slightly scraped his neck. I've just never seen you like that before. All scary and red eyed." I knew what she meant, but I now thought that my previous apologies weren't needed. " Well I feel like an idiot now." She smirked and released me from the hug, but made me feel like even more like an idiot.

" I still think you overreacted. I mean seriously he just kissed me. Yeah, ok, he was forceful but you attacked him as if he had raped me." Just hearing her say those words was making shiver. " Please don't make me think about that. It just makes me feel as if I am not a god body guard." Glory laughed in a sarcastic way and said, " You aren't my bodyguard. You are an annoying Nightwing who follows me everywhere for some unknown reason."

She was right in way. She never really hired me as her body guard, but never the less I was determined to keep her safe. She sighed and shook her head from exasperation. " I will give you this, you may not be my bodyguard, but you sure as hell can keep flirty guys away from me." I smiled at her with my crooked smug- I mean heroic face.

" Why are you staring at me?" She asked with that hint of grumpiness I loved. " Because... Because I can." she made her tired noise and spread her wings to leave. As she left to go to her special chambers or cave or whatever, I followed. "Stop following me! God can't you get a life or go hang out with friends or something. I don't know just leave me alone!" I ignored her pessimistic way of trying to deny my flawless charm. " Once you prove you can take care of yourself. I will." After a minute of flying over the canopy, Glory installed herself into her chambers.

" You can leave now!" She yelled almost waking the whole rainforest. I saw her get comfortable in her cushioned room. I hadn't realized it, but I had been staring at Glory non stop for a while now. Why shouldn't I? After all, I was sort of her body guard, and she was kind of beautiful. " Goodnight Glory." I flew off making her believe I was gone, but I was really only a branch over her room.

After what had happened I had to stay by her 24/7. Just to make sure no other promiscuous male dragons got any ideas. In my head I thought only of her, She shouldn't want to like other dragons. I should be the one who she likes. I mean I'm great, but so is she. I have to keep other males away from her as much as I can.

Every time I felt myself fall asleep, I slapped my self so hard I almost woke Glory right out of her deep sleep. Before I sat back down to patrol the area, I heard small whimpers come from Glory's room. Naturally I went to check. As I drooped down and landed clumsily, I could see Glory having a nightmare. She was tumbling and wrestling in her sleep as if something was attacking her. " Glory?" I asked thinking she was awake.

" Hey! Glory wake up." I neglected her orders and walked into her little cave to shake her till she awoke. " Glory! Wake up!" She screamed and clawed directly to my face. Thankfully my reflexes allowed me to grab her talons before she could hit me with her sharp claws. " Deathbringer!? what the hell! I was fighting like four skywings and wining god damn it!" Her anger only made her more attractive. I smiled at her in that way she hated.

" Get out!" I made my apology face, but didn't budge. She looked at me, groaning and angry. So I wasn't surprised she wanted to kill me when I lied down next to her. " What the frick of you doing!?" I didn't answer and put my head on my talons. She pushed me a little, but I was much stronger and bigger than her.

" I'm protecting you, duh. If you can't protect yourself from your own nightmares, that means I need to sleep with you." I breathed heavily and cautiously looked out the opening for danger. " You can't! We aren't related, we aren't doing this for survival, and we definitely are not mates, so get the hell out!" I looked up and pretended to think about it.

" Hum? I'm sorry did you say something?" She smacked me with her tail and went to sleep. " Good night annoying wart face!" She made me laugh when she was upset. But never the less I focused on keeping her safe and that was all that mattered.

Glory's POV

Deathbringer was seriously getting on my nerves. I couldn't handle his annoying way of always trying to protect me. No good nigthwing! He never ceases to upset me. Ok yeah, he is only trying to protect me. He is also kind of cute... No glory! Don't think that way about him. The most he can ever be is your friend. Don't fall for him now! I thought endlessly of him. In the same time I hated him but also kind of liked him. It was torture.

As I began to fall asleep, I swear I heard him say, " Goodnight love." and kiss me on the head. Oh my fricken god! Did he seriously just say what I think he said. And did he just kiss me on the head. Wow. This is so confusing. I hate him and like him right now. Oh my gosh Glory make up your stupid mind already! I continued to torture myself with thoughts of Deathbringer as the sleepless night droned on and on.

The next day Deathbringer finally left my room and followed me back to the throne room. It was nice to find that my rainwing and nightwing subjects were all together at least beginning to get along. I was thinking silently about what my advisors had told me. Because of my lack of sleep, my eyes were enveloped in dark circles though.

" You ok?" Deathbringer seemed concerned about every aspect of my life. It was annoying and flattering all at once. I wasn't ready to tell him yet, but I had to some day. The day before my advisors had told me that I had to pick a nightwing king to help me rule and well... have... eggs, with. That way the nightwings would accept me more as a queen. I didn't like the idea of having a mate picked for me. It was violating and just wrong. Although I wanted to pick my mate myself, my council convinced me that their experience would lead them to pick some one more suitable. In the end I agreed. I had mixed feelings about the ordeal.

On the bright side, I won't have to do everything by myself. I'd have someone to come home to. Additionally having someone to love you isn't so bad I guess. However, there is one bad side. How can I marry someone if in my heart I like someone else. My mind wandered as Deathbringer looked at me for an answer to his question.

" I didn't get ounce of sleep last night, how do you think I'm doing?" Deathbringer looked very nervous as those words came out of my mouth. He had a facial expression suggesting he thought I was serious. Well I was actually. " Yes, you did. Don't be melodramatic. You slept almost like five minutes after I came into your room. So you did get some sleep." I remembered his way of saying goodnight to me the night before. He thought I was sleeping, but was really wide awake.

I didn't want to scare him, but that is what I do so... " Why do you say that? Just because you thought I was asleep doesn't mean I actually was. Huh lover boy?" I teased him with that, but he got the message. I knew what he had said and that he had kissed me. To be honest it didn't bother me anymore. His eyes went wide and scared. I had never seen him scared before. This was probably the first time he ever really was.

" What are you talking about?" He tried to deny it, but with no succession. " Haha, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about." My voice came out more arousing than I meant it to. I edged closer to him in flight, but he landed carefully on a platform. All the other rainwings were sleeping, but Deathbringer felt the need to whisper.

" You knew!? You couldn't have turned around or acknowledged my existence?" I just smirked at him so he would know what it feels like. A small chuckle came from lower voice. " I thought I was the one who was supposed to always get mad at you." As I moved closer, Deathbringer was only a couple of inches away from me. He didn't budge. Maybe he likes it. As I cornered him, he began walking towards me and faster.

I walked back, because this time I was afraid. As I hit the tree trunk behind me, his snout was barely touching mine. But it still was! I freaked and tried not breathing. He smirked back at me as I had an emotionless expression. " Really? Cause I thought I was supposed to be the one who hits on you." My jaw slightly dropped, but as it came back up I pushed him back.

" Yeah. Guess it's opposite day lover boy." My confidence floated out in a storm. Deathbringer didn't care I pushed him back. All he did was giggle. He looked at me with his smug, or heroic, face to signal he was pleased with himself. " I have two more questions for you, Glory." My eyes seemed to roll on their own. Ugh, what now?

" One, Why do you consistently ignore my good looks and charm?" I literally snorted and laughed so hard my eyes were popping out. " I'm sorry, your good looks?" He looked straight at me with eyes as confused as sloths. " Are denying I am handsome, or is my charm too overwhelming to notice it?" His sarcasm although very irritating was also incredibly cute. I hid the fact that I was kind of having fun.

" This coming from the dragon who said and I am quoting here, ' goodnight love'." His grin of embarrassment was well disguised as a snicker of sleaziness. " I believe I had a second question for you." He cornered me once more, this time I didn't want to push away. Ok he is kind of good looking I guess. And charming. And cute. Plus he is into me. Oh get your head out of a hole Glory! He's just- just- he's just-. Oh who am I Kidding. He began speaking and i was scared. More thane ever.

" Glory... Will you go out with me?"

Sorry it it isn't very well written, but I worked on it for like a day. If you want another chapter for Glorybringer review. Bye...
