Sorry everyone for taking so long! i had work to do and other stuff... but mostly just lazy XD reviews make me update faster XD (hint hint) well, on with the story!
A deep rumble echoed as a new presence entered the cave. It sent tremors through the earth and the air to quiver. I opened one of my eyes slowly and looked at he who lay next to me. His midnight scales glimmered in the moonlight and his eyes rested sorrowfully on me. I turned my head to look at him and he blinked slowly. We stared at each other for several moments before I turned my head and stared at the void night.
My mate gingerly nudged my side making me jump in alarm. He growled slightly but made no move. Slowly, I relaxed listening to his breathing and the beating of my double hearts. Their comforting presence lulled and comforted me. My mate and I had spend many a hundred years together; maybe thousands. The cave we called home shimmered with crystals of every type; something that Taariq adored. I myself loved the earth. Its silence and warmth was comforting to me, even though he loved the cool sky. As different as night and day were we but still our loved blossomed and grew stronger throughout the years we had known each other. I smiled. And so our race swelled throughout the world.
"Taariq, what is wrong?" He turned to look at me then turned away again. I scowled, if even possible, and swiveled my head to get a better look at him. He continued to ignore me. I growled low in my throat and snapped at his side. Turning slowly he looked at me. Anger and sorrow flared in his eyes as he stared. Our minds merged and we slowly drew together as one entity. His memories swarmed around me in a jumble of uncertainty. Pain, anger, suffering, and other unknown emotions drifted around me. But, what I saw made me cry out in anger and alarm.
I jumped up as well as I could with my inflated belly and roared at the sky in anger. Lights at the bottom of our mountain flared up and swarmed in a mass of confusion. My mates eyes dimmed slightly and he winced in pain. Standing, he walked over to me and tried to make me lay back down. I snapped at him winced in agony when I saw blood pooling below him. Shouts were now heard below us and voices in strange tongues drifted up. I scrunched up my nose in anger and disgust at their smell but, that soon disappeared in my wrath.
"Saahirah, No!" he cried as I gave a savage cry and burst out of the -needle-pricks bounced off my underside and a spiraled downwards towards the two-legs. My wrath sprung forth as a torrent of flame, engulfing the two-legs. I did not expect, however, the massive-needle-pricks. One two-leg through one at my stomach and pierced through my soft under-belly. Agony ripped through me as my second heart began to slow. Again, the two-legs were burning in my torrent.
Above my head I heard the agonized cry of my mate. He sprung forth from the cave and hurtled towards us. Our adjoined minds allowed him to sense my pain. He landed causing the earth to tremble and groan. He snarled at them and lunged at them with teeth and claw. His wings and tail swept the aside and his tongue burned them alive. Blood pooled around him as more and more of his life left him. Soon, his breathing was ragged and his eyes dim as burnt-out coals. My own blood flowed but not like his, nor that of my unborn child. Both's lives were failing and death was near. Finally, my mate fell to the ground motionless with a massive-needle-prick through his side.
I cried out and lunged at them one last time. The air in my lungs whooshed out and my flame burning on my tongue. All my pain, sorrow, hurt, and love of my offspring, my race, fueled my final attempt. The moonlight flickered before my eyes as a cold sharp weapon of the two-legs pierced my heart. My child's life flame went out. My own life flared and then burned lower than a solitary candle. As my eyes dimmed, they rested upon my beloved. His scales lost their luminance and he slowly disappeared into the sky he loved so much. I welcomed my earth. I joined and became one with her but, so did my wrath.
Curse you two-legs! I shall get my revenge!

No… she whispered, her dormant anger flaring up. A new breed of two-legs had appeared. They were two-legged-sharp-ears. Their scent was disgusting and their impertinence infuriating. They murdered her children. They killed them with thought of them being nothing but beasts. Her rage wracked the earth.
No! My children! With every death, a new star burned in the heavens. She soaked up the tears of her children and became one with them. For several years her children perished. She mourned their deaths and her wrath grew unceasingly. Since the death of her beloved, her wrath had grown, it augmented. More and more did it yearn for the deaths of the two-legs.
Her slowly moving consciousness, realized a new disturbance. Extending her mind she looked towards the happenings. A two-legged-sharp-ear stood side-by-side and heart-of-heart with a dragon like mates should be. Her rage shook the world but the two-legged-sharp-ears were too deaf and blind to hear her. Slowly, but like a breath to her, the two-legged-sharp-ears and her children became almost as one. She cried out but her children grew deaf to her call.
But, finally, her wrath broke through. Her millennia of anger pierced the veil of the world. The two-legged-round-ears who murdered her beloved and children… had become one now with her race. She could n longer tolerate this. No… no longer. They had to pay… she needed her revenge. And her children must be punished.
Give me their blood!
