Oh lookie lookie! The REEEALLY OLD backstory for the gods! Sucks the rest of the series will never be made for you to see what all was REALLY going on, the first cut of the Drago Story/Majora and the Oni Story is pretty bare bones and we changed it later, but eh! Whatever. Maybe some day I'll get around to using the data I compiled for an original series as I'd planned.
Ch10
The night went by slow as Vio finally plopped down on the hay, coated in sweat as Blue joined him, groaning. "What...did I tell ya?" He panted, "N-never... trust... that fish..." He'd finally gotten Blue 'down'. Oh gods... he felt even more exhausted than before, a headache pounding in his skull. Why had Blue even tried to get him to have sex again?
Oh yeah... baby...
Blue whined and groaned burrowing into the hay next to Vio. He didn't want to move, he felt like he wouldn't move for a week. "N-never... touching pills... ever..."
Vio grumbled something in agreement as both boys fell asleep, only to be rudely awoken by the crowing of a cuccoo, which Vio simple pulled the hay over his head. No... he was NOT getting up yet. He didn't care if the end of the WORLD was happening, he'd sleep through it!
Blue whined louder and burrowed further into the hay eventually ending up with his head under Vio's back.
Vio arched slightly, shifting onto his side so Blue was no longer underneath him, grumbling, "Please tell me...no sex...for a few weeks... please... Naryu, please tell me..."
Blue whimpered. "If you try I will kill you." he balled up the best he could his legs still feeling like jelly.
Vio huffed quietly in response. Please, like he wanted the amount of sex they had last night? No, in fact, he'd tried to STOP the sex, but nope, this was all Blue's fa...u...l...t... his brain drifted off as he fell asleep, arms wrapping around a good amount of hay. As strange as it was, he'd gotten used to being either held or holding onto the drago, and now that Blue wasn't doing such a thing, his brain had simply latched onto something similar.
An hour or so later, young Cremia rushed into the barn to wake the sleeping teens. "BLUE! VIO! Time ta get up!" she giggled. climbing on top of them making blue groan loudly in protest. "Momma made breakfast!"
Vio mumbled something incoherent, still pretty much entirely asleep, only barely stirred.
Deep sleeper anyone?
Cremia pouted. "Awww come OOOOn!" she jumped up and down on top of the two but neither woke, merely make noises of discomfort from her attacks.
Vio threw a bit of hay at Cremia barely, rolling over to curl next to Blue.
Cremia huffed and stormed out of the barn. "I'll just go get Momma!"
Vio groaned softly, ignoring the small girl as she stormed off to get her mother. Sleep now, food later.
Blue continued to scrunch closer to Vio, having found where his mate was in his sleep. The drago was now almost completely under Vi, being he was half buried to begin with.
Several hours later, much to Cremia's annoyance, both boys were finally awake, Malon walking into the barn as Vio sat up groggily, looking to her. "I see ya'll had a long night." She laughed lightly, "C'mon no' dinner's ready."
Blue groaned as Vio started to move and grabbed hm. "Nooo... 'ts cold..." He whined wanting his heat source back.
"Blue," Vio yawned, rubbing his eyes as he shook the boy's shoulders, "C'mon...it's almost night again, it's time to at least get something to eat..."
Letting out another whine Blue grudgingly got up, only after his stomach gave a loud grumble. "Fiiiiine. but I'm going back to sleep after."
Vio nodded, "I'm with you there..."
Giving Vio a pout Blue got up and followed the hylian to the dinner table to gorge himself once more.
After the large dinner Vio apologized for their behavior and requested one more nights stay, dragging Blue out of the house to go back to the barn. He had a headache that had been quickly demolished thanks to both food and drink (though no booze.) finally falling asleep again in the barn.
Blue joining him in slumber, arms wrapped around Vio holding him tightly.
The next morning both Vio and Blue woke up, Vio curled up comfortably in Blue's arms(spooning) as he turned over, facing the other blond-haired boy, yawning.
Blue smiled and pulled Vio closer. "'Morning..."
Vio blinked a few times before giving a soft smile, "Morning..."
Blue nuzzled him contently. "Mine." He said softly licking at Vi's neck.
"Mine" Vio repeated, tugging a piece of hair.
Blue just grinned wider. "As long as you say so."
"I do say so, and I don't lie...about things like this."
Blue gave a cheeky grin and nuzzled Vio again. "Good."
Vio sighed and tugged his hair again, "I swear if this is some ploy for sex from me, I'm going to kick you in the nuts."
"Hey!" Blue pulled his knees to his chest to protect his goods. "No THANKS! I had enough the other night."
"Then don't cover the package, I told you it's if it's a ploy for sex." Vio sighed, closing his eyes.
Blue shot Vio a nervous glare before slowly putting his knees back down. "Okay... so what are we doing today then?"
"I assumed we'd get supplies, ask for a horse and then travel to the desert..." Vio yawned. "To meet with the Gerudo's."
"Hmm... why?" Blue asked yawning and nuzzling into Vio's chest.
"There's a few rumors there about the hero and... I want to meet with the Gerudo..." He sighed, "Their relationship with the Royal family really went south for some reason... and I wanted to see if I could find out how."
"Eh... politics." Blue grumbled suddenly interrupted by his own stomach. "Ehhhh... I'm TIRED..." he whined louder and hid his face in Vio's chest.
"C'mon, you can sleep a bit later," Vio slid his hand through Blue's hair, smiling softly. "You can even sleep on the way to the Gerudo"
Blue yawned. "Really?" he sat up sluggishly rubbing at his eyes.
"If I can get a horse, you can." Vio agreed, sitting up with yawn, "I'm going to be the one in front anyway, I'm quite sure you don't know how to ride."
Blue scoffed. "Duh, why would I need to? i can fly." he yawned again popping his back and standing up with a pout seeming to notice his stomach which had started poking over his pants, he poked at it. "Do I look fat?"
"You're pregnant," was what the blonde said, sighing, "Don't make me answer that. My mom got the same way and she chewed my father's head off for an answer."
Blue shot Vio a pout then looked back at his stomach. "How big do you think it's gonna get?" he tilted his head to the side. He'd never been around another Draconian aside from his parents and they died before he could remember much. "Do you think Malon would know?"
"Well, thinking about it, it'd probably get pretty big with the fact it's going to be half and half." Vio leaned back, "And I'm not so sure if she would or not."
Blue sighed heavily. "great.." he slumped and started out of the barn.
The rest of the day moved swiftly for the two teens and before they knew it, Malon had loaned them the horse they needed and they were saddling up to leave.
"Do you really hav'ta go Mr. Drago?" Cremia asked teary eyed. "I didn't even get to see you as a dragon!" she pouted causing a slight smile to cross Blue's face. What could he say? he was a sucker for kids.
"Well... maybe we'll come visit again, someday." he smiled at her and she cheered up instantly.
"CAN YOU TAKE ME FOR A RIDE TOO?!"
"uh... Sure?" Cremia squealed and wrapped her arms around Blue's legs hugging him tightly.
"Come back soon Mr. Drago!"
Smiling kindly to Malon, "I'll be sure to have some money and the horse sent back as soon as I get to the castle again." He grabbed the horn of the saddle, shifting up as he held onto the reigns. He was experienced in riding, thank the goddesses or else Blue and him would of had to of walked. And we all know how well that would've turned out. Holding out a hand to the Drago, he helped the boy get clumsily onto the horse, having him wrap his arms around his waist. "Now, it won't be as fast as flyin' but, it's still faster and more efficient than walking." Clucking his tongue, he nudged the horse barely with his heels and the white-maned tan-coated horse jerked forward and off they went, Vio's eyes widening slightly as his smile widened. He loved riding...
Blue's face contorted into one of distress and he wrapped his arms around Vio tightly. "How can you enjoy this?!" he snapped starting to get seasick from all the bouncing up and down.
Vio pulled on the reins lightly, giving a soft hush, as the horse shook its head, slowing down into a walk, not bouncing quite so much. "I enjoy it because it's a freedom for me." Just like wearing a skirt... Vio kept his head forward, not looking back, that was all Blue was going to get from him for now, anyway.
Blue was silent for a few moments. "...That's why I like flying." he said barely loud enough to hear.
Vio's ear twitched and kept silent about the comment. No use bringing it up.
The two continued riding in silence for a while until Blue's stomach decided to break it again. "Ugh... do we have any food?"
"Don't know if I should answer that considering you ate all of the food last time." Vio reached down, rummaging through a saddle bag before pulling out a cooked chicken and handed it to Blue.
"I couldn't help it!" Blue snapped back angrily taking the chicken and biting into it. Cracking could be heard as he bit through the bone, but he didn't seem to even notice it and chomped up the bird bones and all.
"If I wasn't going to feed you, would I have just given you a chicken." He stated flatly, the horse continuing in a walk.
Blue scoffed. "Maybe." He finished off the chicken leaving no remains as he licked his fingers clean.
Giving a click of his tongue, Vio leaned forward, the horse jerking back in a rear before it jumped forward in a gallop, Vio's lip twitching into a smile.
Blue shouted and quickly grabbed Vio at the sudden change in speed. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
Vio shifted forward, heels digging into the stirrups as his weight went with him, pulling Blue further forward into the saddle, an orange hue of the desert sands in front of them. Giving a whistle then a click as the horse made a sharp turn, jumping across a gap with a broken log, Vio only pulling back, giving a soft hushing as he brushed his fingers through coarse golden-white mane. "Hmm?" Vio glanced back at Blue, only now seeming to notice the sudden grip, "Why are you holding on so tightly?"
"Y-you!" Blue growled and tightened his grip worried Vio would try it again. "You nearly threw me off damn it!"
"Oh, sorry." Vio shrugged, clucking his tongue as the horse went into a trot across the bridge, "Had to speed up to cross the gap."
"You could have TOLD ME first!" Blue shouted and hid his face in Vio's back, feeling very shaken and seasick now.
"Thought it was obvious." He chuckled, "If you feel sick, keep your eyes closed, lean down from the horse, allowing some blood in your head. Then lift up, rinse and repeat."
Blue growled angrily and kept his face hidden in Vio's back. "Just let me know when we get there."
"Well then, you're late." Vio clicked his tongue, horse wandering across the bridge, "We're here."
"What?" Blue whined lifting his head up and seeing the sand. he groaned. "it's a DESERT!"
"As is custom when you speak of gerudo," Vio agreed, looking around at the deserted area, "Though...I'm wondering why no-one's stopped us yet. They're supposed to be very territorial."
Blue grumbled and wrapped his arms tightly around Vi, reminding the Prince of something ELSE that was very territorial.
Vio sighed, leaning his head back, "C'mon Blue, you already know I'm not going any-." A dart zipped from behind a rock, a small thorn-like projectile landed snugly in Vio's neck. Blinking, the prince shifted his hand to his neck, picking the dart from his neck, feeling suddenly woozy as another dart zipped out, hitting Blue's neck as well.
Blue's eyes widened and he looked around in fear as his vision dulled and he soon blacked out loosing his grip on Vio.
Vio's vision slowly faded, an image of a woman walking up to them as he blacked out entirely.
Upon waking up, Vio had a headache. Glancing around at his surroundings rather... well, to say not irritated would be a misstatement.
A Gerudo stood guard in front of Vio's cell twin scimitars in her hands and an angry look on her face.
Rubbing at his eyes, Vio looked at the gerudo woman, groggily staring at her. "If I'd known you'd of been so hostile..." Patting his pockets, he looked around. So, they'd taken his weaponry it seemed... and his food... "I'd of perhaps sent a letter warning of my coming." He looked up, leveling his eyes with hers.
The Gerudo scoffed. "Had that been the case, we would have had an entire party out to 'greet' you, Prince Vio."
"Well at least one person's got that right." Vio stood shakily, "Why have you imprisoned me then? This could be an act of war against Hyrule if her people found out."
"Let them find out!" The guard snapped. "A hostage doesn't work if they don't know about it after all." She grinned but was quickly cowed as another Gerudo in a different outfit entered.
"What have I told you about talking to prisoners Avell?" She snapped making the guard wince and stand at attention.
"My apologies Nabooru." Nabooru didn't respond instead choosing to look at their prisoners.
"So! These are the men who dare trespass in Gerudo territory." She glared at Vio. "The crown prince of hyrule, and" she looked to the other cell and gasped. That had to be... he was the spitting image! "What is he doing here?!"
Meanwhile Blue choose this moment to wake up. "Nn.. Vio? He tried sitting up still groggy and woozy. "What happened?"
"Blue!" Vio wobbled to the bars of his cell, worry etched on his face as the Gerudo woman, Avell then poked him with her scimitar as he jerked back. "Why do you want me as a hostage anyway?" He growled, irritation creeping into his voice. He needed to see Blue... he was pregnant, his nerves were itching to get next to Blue, make sure he was alright.
"You fools! Release the boy in green at once! He's HIS son!"
Avell gasped and her head snapped to stare at Blue while another guard quickly unlocked Blue's cell and helping the Drago out of it.
Blue whined at being moved so soon and looked around for Vio not really getting what was happening. "Vi?"
Vio grabbed at the bars again as he saw Blue. Territorial... Letting his hand slide, he smiled, "Blue, you should go rest. After all, gotta take it easy..." it came to his lips like oil, the slippery smile, "I'm just going to stay here and answer some questions." His gaze turned around, watching the Gerudo as he growled under his breath. You hurt him, I swear my mother's magic will be applied.
Avell shot Vio a glare. "Do not speak as if you were his equal!" She yelled while Nabooru wrapped her arms around Blue and quickly tugged the drago into a tight hug.
"Blue!" She shouted startling the draconian. "Oh I haven't seen you since you were just a hatchling. My have you grown!" She held him at arm's length and looked him up and down. "But how did you end up in the desert? You're a water element." She said curiously, attention only on him.
"U-uh.. he..." Blue shakily raised a hand and pointed at Vio somewhat shellshocked. Who was this woman?
"I came to discuss with the Gerudo and try to make peace, my mother wouldn't of wanted us fighting so I wanted to follow her wishes." He shifted, glaring at Avell, "As for why Blue came with me, it was either he came or I didn't. We've been rather attached to the hip until now." He breathed a calm smirk coming to his lips, a cool look crossing his face as he let his hands wander behind his back, a soft golden glow coming from them. "Now, any more questions, or would you please get Blue somewhere he can rest, and if I may be so bold," he looked to Nabooru, "Sage, I'd prefer Blue find somewhere to rest first, then your odd inquisition."
Nabooru narrowed her eyes at Vio holding Blue like a protective mother. "I have not been a sage since your mother reset the timeline." She looked down at Blue and sighed. "But I agree, he needs rest. That tranquilizer is rather potent." She began to lead Blue away? But the Dragos would have none of it, jerking out of her grip and stumbling over to Vio trying to get through the bars to his mate.
Vio leaned forward, the magic dying in his hand as he cupped Blue's chin, smiling. "C'mon now, I'll join you in a few minutes, just' have to take care of some political stuff, alright?"
Blue snorted. "I hate politics." And he entwined his fingers with Vio's still not wanting to leave. Nabooru gave them a look and approached the two.
"Blue... What is this man to you?" She asked giving Vio a glare to keep him quiet.
Blue growled and shot a glare at Nabooru. "He is MY mate."
Vio sighed at the somewhat angry outburst, "Calm down, just go with Nabooru and lay down, as I said, I'll be fine." He chuckled at the glare he gave her, "Go on," he whispered into Blue's ear, "I have more to me than bows and arrows." Winking, he grinned.
Blue bit his lip unsure, but reluctantly let go of Vio and let Nabooru pull him away. The Gerudo were giving unsure looks at the drago and the hylian but Blue turned on them. "If you hurt him I will personally eat all of you!" He growled angrily taking a few determined steps before slumping down to the floor in semi-consciousness. His body to weak to do more.
Vio's smile disappeared once Blue was gone and his eyes went to Avell, narrowing, "One thing happens to him, the hero of time won't be the only legend around here." His face turned expressionless, staring towards her, "Now, I'd hate to burst your bubble, but my kingdom believes I'm dead, so a hostage situation won't do you any good. Next, I would assume you're smart enough to know of my mother's magical ability, and if you were smart, you'd let me out and be with my mate."
Avell gave Vio an unsure look. Her orders were to keep him in the cell until Nabooru said otherwise, but if he really was blue's mate like they claimed, then it would be worse for all of them if Vi remained locked up... She glared and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "Fine, but you will remain restrained until decided otherwise."
Vio's lip twitched. "Of course. Now, I would be much appreciative if you would open the door."
She gave him an untrusting look but opened the door and cuffed him quickly. "There. Now follow me." She ordered dragging him out of the cell and in the direction Nabooru and Blue had gone. The other nameless guard flanking them to make sure Vio didn't try anything.
Vio followed along, eyes closed as he breathed. Needing to pull on his mana, a golden glow came from his hands, a small click could be heard as Vio's ear twitched, glow disappearing as he stayed quiet, following after Avell. His hands were free now, but kept the handcuffs on his wrist glancing around the Gerudo grounds. He closed his eyes again, the warmth felt good...
Avell continued to lead Vio through passages in and out of the buildings in the fortress until she reached Nabooru, who stood outside a large ornate doorway. When Nabooru caught sight of Vio a mixture of anger and relief crossed her face. Anger for her guards disobeying orders, but relief because... "Thank the Deity you brought him up here!" She grabbed Vio from Avell. "Listen you. Whatever you are, or whatever you've done, Blue refuses to cooperate without you here. So get in here with him. And I swear to all the goddesses that if this is some kind of spell you will die slowly and painfully."
Vio raised his eyebrows, "He kidnapped me, first. So if being a virgin counts as a spell..." Vio shrugged, letting the cuffs fall from his wrists as he walked past Nabooru, "Blue?" He asked hesitantly, going through the door.
Nabooru looked appalled that Vio had been in unlocked cuffs and quickly boxed Avell's ears for the mistake.
Inside the door was a large well decorated room with rich colors and ornate designs on everything. A large bed took up most of the space, a haphazard pile of green tunic sat on the floor next to it, and on it a rather angry draconian lay growling at any of the servants who tried to get near him.
Sighing, Vio made his way past the servants and sat down next to Blue, "Why do you suddenly need me just to get some rest?" He asked in a somewhat humorous tone, glancing down at Blue, "C'mon, I was discussing Politics with the gerudo, what's wrong?"
Blue pouted up at Vio and shot a quick glare at the servants before wrapping his tail around Vio tugging the hylian closer as he resting his head on Vio's lap. "They were DOING stuff to me!" He protested with another pout.
"B-but master Blue," a servant protested. "We merely tried to bathe you and replace your attire with something more fitting to the weather-" a loud growl cut her off.
Vio sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He really didn't want another bath with Blue...just the reminder of being scrubbed down... "Did you suggest he take a bath by himself?" Vio suggested, "He's old enough, besides, never try to strip a Drago..." glancing down at the head in his lap, he slid a hand through Blue's hair, "Unless of course you want to answer to his mate," He looked calm as his eyes rose to the servants, "Is the bath already drawn?"
"Y-yes, right through here." The servant who spoke before gestured to a door.
Blue sighed contently and closed his eyes relaxing as Vio pet him.
"Then you are dismissed, I shall have us leave our clothing outside of the door and you may switch them out." Vio gave a soft smile at Blue before looking up, "You are excused, leave all of this to me, and report to Nabooru, Vi wishes to have a private conference for her after Blue begins to sleep, no handcuffs, no bars. Understood?"
The servants noded and quickly left the room to deliver the message. Blue sighed once they were gone and smiled. "Finally." He wrapped his arms around Vi and held him tightly. "Can we leave now?"
"No, we may not." He laughed, ruffling Blue's hair playfully, "Now c'mon, it's time for a bath."
Blue pouted but got up anyway. At least he could finally get clean again. He smiled and leaned his head on Vio's shoulder. He liked being clean.
Vio swatted his head playfully, "Now c'mon, let's do this. You need the bath and then a nap. I'm going to discuss the affairs between the Gerudo and Hylians."
"Fiiine." Blue whined but followed Vio into the bathroom.
A long washing session later, the two boys left the bathroom to don their new attire. Vio slipping on the loose flowing clothes quite easily, but like always Blue had trouble figuring them out and ended up tangled in them.
Vio merely chuckles, pulling the clothing from all the knots and wrinkles, hands smoothing the flowing clothing as Vio stood back, nodding in agreement. "Alright, now you should rest."
Blue sighed once the clothes were adjusted right. They really were quite comfortable.. and he was very tired... "fine." He grumbled and crawled into the extra large bed snuggling under the covers. It was magnificent! The most comfortable bed he'd ever been in. "Just... come... back..." he managed to say before he fell into a deep sleep his own tiredness and the comfort too much to resist.
Vio smiled softly as Blue told him to come back, turning to the door and opening it and looked up to meet Avell who had been waiting for him. "I'm ready," he said calmly, "I suppose Nabooru agrees to my terms or else you wouldn't be here."
"Yes, she has. As long as you don't try anything, she agrees to speak with you." The guard replied not to happy about it. "Now, shall we go?" She asked turning on her heel and walking off expecting Vio to follow her.
Vio did follow, enjoying the feeling of the clothing around his waist. He did take in the surroundings, memorizing the corridors and the way they took around. It would be a good thing to have this memorized just in case.
After some more twists and turns, Avell finally came up to a door and led Vio inside where Nabooru sat waiting for them. "You Wanted to talk Prince Vio." She said gesturing to a seat across from her for Vio to take.
"Do not call me that," he said, voice calm and apathetic, "If anything, just call me Vi. I've been using the alias to keep people off my trail." He rested on the chair she gestured to, "If this were normal, I would smile and tell you any and all grudges against me or my family are in the false, however..." he closed his eyes breathing, opening his mouth to speak when Avell gave a sharp laugh.
"False?! You're an idiot if you think they're false grudges!" Vio opened his eyes, thinking for one second before speaking.
"Do not speak to me in such an insolent tone," His voice rose slightly, eyes never leaving Nabooru's face, "I said 'however' because, however I'd like to say that, it is guilty until proven innocent, is that not correct, Nabooru?" He leaned forward on the table, "Please, tell me the facts so that I may set them straight. Why do you hate my race so much and seem to have a distinct displeasure around me?"
Nabooru scoffed. "Figures the almighty Hylian wouldn't recognize the wrongs they've committed." Nabooru crossed her arms. "Despite what you may think, this is about more than 'petty grudges' and resources. To put it simply, the lives of the Draconian Dragos."
"And you blame me, several generations later, someone who was taught to cherish the Drago's and admire them and has even become a mate to one?" His voice was calm as he looked at her in question, "Why blame me, someone who's tried to stop the hunting and extinction of Drago's?" He sighed, "and really, do not assume you know what I'm thinking." He looked at her, "You'll be highly disappointed..."
Pausing just barely, he raised an eyebrow, "in yourself."
"You are the future king of Hyrule." Nabooru responded curtly. "You are the icon and leader of them all. Your people continue to slaughter our brothers! We will not stand for it! As long as it continues there will be no real negotiations of peace." Nabooru lost her cool. She'd witnessed many deaths she was unable to prevent, all Dragos at the hand of the hylians.
"Wait one moment, Brothers?" Vio watched her reactions, ear twitching, "I thought the Gerudo were an all female society. Why'd you call the drago's a brother?" Truthfully, what he had been thinking this was about the fact Hylians had become frightened and created the hunters. Which if that had been the case, he'd completely understand, but now he was unsure. Thinking on it... "Actually, what I'd really like to know, is how you know Blue."
Nabooru sighed. "I was with his parents when he was born, and checked in several times afterwards... I was the one who took him to the Gorons on Death Mountain...I... I wanted to bring him here..." she gave a sad smile. "But he is a water element, he wouldn't have been able to survive here, especially at such a young age..." she shook her head. "But that is the past now. He is safe, that is all that matters."
"No, he's not, and neither am I." Vio sighed, leaning back, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "But we'll discuss that after you explain to me the origins... One can only learn so much through books, and even then, most of the information I've found in them were incorrect. Please?"
Nabooru's eyes snapped to Vio intently upon hearing that Blue WASN'T okay, but decided to compromise. "Fine. I shall tell you about the origin of the Draconian Dragos." She sighed then began. "You know your religion do you not? How the three goddesses, Farore, Nayru and Din came and created everything? Well this is the first lie. The three golden goddesses did not create everything, at least not on their own. In the beginning there were many Gods and Goddesses. The golden trio; the Goddess of Time; the Goddess of Wind; Majora, the God of madness and destruction; and the mighty Fierce Deity, God of love and connection." She listed nodding her head as she went. "The goddess of Time and the goddess of wind, their duties in creation completed, faded back to their own realm no longer feeling the need to meddle in the lives of mortals. The others however, chose to stay.
"The golden goddesses created the triforce as you know, however, that is not fully correct either. As the center of the triforce originally house a fourth piece, that of the Fierce Deity. Unlike the goddesses, Deity did not leave his piece unattended in the mortal realm. Because of this, Deity often visited the mortal realm choosing various forms to disguise himself, his most common being that of a Dragon.
"As time passed by, Hyrule forgot all but the golden goddesses, but we Gerudo remembered that of the Fierce Deity. Unfortunately that was our own downfall, and his..." Nabooru gave an angry look and the air felt charged with magic as she continued speaking. "Originally, there were both male and females among the Gerudo. We enjoyed our lives, and prayed often to the golden goddesses and the Fierce Deity."
"And yet there was one more you were forgetting." Vio had already began to piece things together in his head, it was like a puzzle, and it made sense. "Majora, the Deity of destruction and madness, I presume, and since the rest of Hyrule had forgotten, that left only one race for his destruction and carnage, especially since his fellow Deity and goddess were worshiped here." Vio felt the magical charge and ignored it, "He felt jealous and envy, angry for the attention to the others, correct?" He continued thinking on it for a second, "Calm yourself down, Nabooru," he looked at her, "If you do not, I will even the field. I don't want to be fried Hylian quite yet, especially since I promised Blue I would come back. Now continue on. I'm listening."
Nabooru took a deep breath calming herself and the magic thinned. "Yes, you would be correct. Majora grew angry and envious of the Fierce Deity. And being the Gerudo seemed to be his favorites as he came most often to our domain, we were the victims of his wrath." She clenched her fists. "A curse so powerful not even the rest of the pantheon of goddesses and the Deity could reverse it. All the men were transformed into the image of the Deity we so worshipped, and the women lost the ability to bear male children. Because of this Majora wished to end us. The other deities found out, however, and Majora was cast out of their realm and into the mortal one. But before the job could be finished and his powers stripped, he escaped and hid among the hylians." She sighed and relaxed a little.
"Feeling sorry for the Gerudo, the Golden goddesses made an amendment to Majora's curse allowing one male child to be born every hundred years. And our men were able to disguise themselves as human for short periods of time, and being we could no longer mate with each other, they were given the ability to bear children of their own."
This would explain several things... "Thus Ganondorf..." his mind was wandering, "That answers my question, however, then there's more questions. If he escaped with his powers, did something happen to the Fierce Deity? You spoke in past tense, so I assume he's no longer among the Deities, gods or Goddess's." He was thinking on it, "...wait a second, a Deity can be forced into a mortal? And since...Majora's powers were not stripped from him, wouldn't that mean he had the ability to force a Deity into a mortal form as well?" He looked at Nabooru in question.
"You're pretty smart for a hylian. But you are getting a little ahead of the story." Nabooru smirked. "Seeing that the Gerudo were still surviving despite his curse, Majora used his position among the Hylians to turn them against us. They discovered the curse placed upon our men, and decided that it was a sign of the goddesses telling them to kill them. And thus the Hunters were born." She clenched her fists again.
"Seeing the Gerudo in peril once more, the Fierce Deity came back to us, in his dragon form and led the men to the distant world of Termina. But Majora caught wind of this, and slipped in among the former Gerudo men, following Deity to Termina. He then spent the next hundreds of years causing trouble and wreaking havoc. He lead hylians to termina despite them being separate worlds and left the gates between the two wide open for wandering dragos to end up in hyrule to be killed, or exploring Hylians to end up in Termina and bring their views of Draconians being evil to the Terminians. thus turning all the human's against the dragon-like species.
"One day, the Fierce Deity went to Termina, fed up with having to stand back and watch as his people were slaughtered and tormented. But he was tricked by the sly Majora and became a mortal draconian. The goddesses were could do nothing about it, but they knew this was the last straw. They granted the Draconians the gifts of the elements changing their scales from grays blacks whites and browns to a colorful array of Blues, Purples, Greens and Reds. Using this new power the Fierce Deity hunted down Majora. Any time his mortal form died, he was reincarnated by the goddesses in order to destroy Majora once and for all." Nabooru sighed. "The story does continue... but there is not a happy ending." she said sadly.
"There never is," Vio sighed, "But...enough is enough, I suppose. You've cleared up a great deal about Draconians for me, thank-you." He bowed his head, "And most would not call me smart, but a nuisance to our council." He looked up at her, "I've been trying for several year now to get a ban on hunters, most don't consider it worth their time, but..." Vio sighed, "...I'm waiting now for my father to step down so I can make more substantial comments to them." Looking up, "Well, now for my half..."
Leaning back in his chair Vio began, "It happened several months ago, a draconian ransacked Castle Town in search for food, and...well, I just so happened to be the food." Thinking on it, he decided to lay off the...certain parts... "Being...clever, I made the Drago, which I found its' name to be: Blue, consider whether or not he really wanted to eat me. I was presented with a choice of going home or not and I chose to go home, because I thought the Draconian no longer wished my presence, and I would be happy to oblige in leaving him." Sighing he shook his head, rubbing his temples, "Later that very same day, the same draconian attacked my town, later which I learned, he was drunk as he transformed back into his Hylian form and I carried him inside, and for the next day or so he was asleep I had to suffer my sister's rumors on... me taking in a nudist lover..." his eye twitched at the memory, "Oh, excuse me, practicing nudist but I digress," he let his hands fall to his lap.
"When the Draconian did wake, he plowed a big hole through the middle part of my room, and only recently was I told my sister had decorated with blood and shredded clothing to feign my death after this... second kidnapping." He looked to the ceiling, "What I'm worried about is that my sister has hired a private hunter to murder both Blue and I," He looked to Nabooru, a sudden weariness crossing his features, "she always envied and hated me for being the eldest and inheriting the throne."
Nabooru's eyes widened at the word 'hunter' and she slammed her hands down on the table. "We will NOT let a hunter near him! You and Blue will stay here, and we will eliminate this threat personally!"
"No!" Vio snapped, standing to challenge her, a magical charge coming up from him, "He's my problem! If anyone will eliminate him, it will be me." He snarled, "You and the rest of the Gerudo have to protect Blue, I understand that and respect that, and in fact: I encourage it greatly...considering..." Vio slid back into his chair, magic fading as he cupped his hands over his head, "Oh by the goddesses...considering..."
"Considering... What?" Nabooru asked giving a suspicious look at Vio.
"Considering...he's pregnant..." Vio's hands were shaking slightly, "and I don't even know when it happened... and...someone needs to be able to be there for Blue when that happens, and I'm...I...I just... I just can't..."
Nabooru's eyes narrowed and she almost snapped at Vi, but let out a sigh to calm herself reaching over to place a hand on the Hylian's shoulder. "Vio. Look to me." she stared him down until he looked up then she gave him a soft motherly smile. "It'll be okay, alright? This is a good thing. You're among friends here, we will keep him safe, and soon you'll have your own baby boy. You might think you can't now, but believe me. When you lay your eyes on him for the first time... you'll wonder how you ever lived without him."
"It's not the child I'm worried about, and it's not like I don't think having a child will be amazing... I want one at that, but..." Vio looked at her, "I'm...worried what will happen to Blue during the birth. I'm scared something will happen and he'll be harmed..." Looking back down at his hands, the image of his mother lying on the bed, blood coating up her thighs... "...I can't stomach seeing something like that again...not to someone this close to me..." But he couldn't do anything, just like that time. No-one could, Zelda had been born feet-first instead of head first, causing a problem, having to push the girl back up and reverse her position in his mother by cutting her ovaries open and twisting the child around forcefully.
Nabooru sighed and got up from the table pulling Vio into a loose hug. "I promise. it will be okay. The goddesses would never allow something like that to happen to His child."
Vio shifted out of the hug, looking away for a moment and breathing, straightening, looking to Nabooru once again calm, seemingly collected, "I apologize, I should not have brought up personal experience, nor seem ungrateful." Bowing his head, he closed his eyes, "I'm very grateful for you allowing Blue and I to stay here, even with the history between Hylian's and Gerudo's."
Nabooru shrugged. "A mate to a Dragos is a friend to us." She glanced at Avell. "However, I believe we've done enough talking for one day. it is getting late, Avell will take you back to Blue. and Tomorrow..." she grinned. "We shall have a feast. it is not every day we are graced by the presence of a Dragos, much less a pregnant one. And we know how much they love to eat~"
"From those I've talked with... it is a common thing," He gave a slight smile, bowing once, "Thank-you, still." He turned walking towards Avell, "...and Nabooru...if a man comes and is looking for either Blue or I... get me, please?"
Nabooru nodded. "Of course."
Avell gestured for Vio to follow her and led the Hylian back to the master suite where Blue was staying.
Walking along the passageways, Vio double checked his memory and smiled as it was correct. "Avell, thank-you." He bowed his head as they reached his door, "I'm sorry if I offended you any time earlier." Turning, he walked back into the suite, not expecting the answer or response of an accepted apology and went to the bed immediately, mask dropping as he sat down on the bed, pulling the bed's sheets up and rolling onto his side, curling up next to Blue.

Byrne grumbled as he approached Lon Lon Ranch. He couldn't understand how the Draconian could have just vanished like that. and no one seemed to care to help find him either. Byrne gave a heavy sigh as he passed one of the barns. Perhaps he could get some assistance from the farmers here. after all, Draconians were known for stealing livestock.
"An then the big Drago swoop down and eat them!" Byrne heard a young voice shout and quickly rushed towards it as he heard the word Drago. Peeking around the corner he saw a small girl with red hair playing with some dolls. One of a knight, one of a princess, and one of a pale blue Drago. He smirked as he rounded the corner.
"Well hello there."
The little girl looked up. "Hi! I'm Cremia! Who're you?"
"My name is Byrne." He smiled with his eyes as his mouth was covered with a bandanna. "Might I ask what you are playing?"
Cremia grinned. "Imma playin' bad guys and Dragos!" she shouted hugging the drago plush toy. Byrne's brow twitched but he didn't protest.
"Don't you mean, bad guys and good guys?" he asked trying to correct the child.
"Nooo! See!" she held up her knight doll. "The bad guy kidnapped the princess!" she then held up the princess doll. "SO the big drago gots to go rescue her!" she slammed the drago doll into the knight with a big explosion sound. Byrne resisted a groan. honestly if females could be Draconians he would have this girl in a cage already. "I named this one Blue." she giggled. "After my new friend."
The hunter, who had just be about to leave, froze in his tracks. "Your... Friend, Blue, you say?" he asked sweetly. "Would your friend happen to be a Drago?"
She grinned wide and nodded. "Uh-huh! We had dinner and then he slept all day! But he said he'd come back and play again." she giggled hugging the drago doll and swinging it back and forth.
Clearly something was wrong with this child, her parents must think she's just making these stories up, or else they would have done something about it by now. Byrne thought about the best way to get her to tell him where the drago went. "You know what? I was just looking for Blue, see, he's My friend too!"
Cremia gasped. "Really?"
"yep." Byrne nodded in reply. "Would you happen to know where he went?"
"Uh-huh!" she grinned wide and jumped up. "Momma gave em a horse and they said they was going to a dessert... I hope they bring me some back." she smiled wide eyed picturing an enormous dessert.
'The desert! they're going to hide with the Gerudo thieves!' "Well thank you, I'll be sure to make them bring you some back." He nodded to her causing her to cheer. "I'll just be off now." he grinned evilly and turned away from the ranch. That had been easier than he expected.
