MISTRESS OF DRAGONS
Love can blind the mind, but hate can stain the soul. Do not forget your place and never turn you back, love can stab it hard. But even love cannot hold the price of the wrong blood flowing through your blood.

Tobias the bard rushed into the cave and charged at the vampire, his rapier piercing though Topaque's neck. Topaque stumbled back a few steps, dropping his dragon's fang and sliding off the blade.
"Oww." He muttered, placing his hand over the wound. "I must say the that was not a fun experience."
Tobias tried to strike again, swinging with sharp twists of his wrist but was swiftly stopped by Topaque. He wrapped his hand around the blade and jabbed the hilt into Tobias' face, then with one quick snap of his wrist he flipped the rapier into his hand and placed the blade to Tobias' neck.
Mayir looked up with one eye and placed her hand on the blade.
"Enough Topaque, and you Tobias, why are you here?" Mayir once again propped herself up onto her elbows.
"Uh... I thought and you were." Tobias stumbled over his words and was still gazing darkly at the vampire who now held his rapier.
"Topaque, give him back his blade." Mayir said then layback down and shut her eyes. "I don't want to stay here any longer."
Topaque tossed the rapier back to Tobias then bent down to pick up the dragon's fang that he had dropped.
"Two, maybe three more hours, then it will be completed." He said, dipping the fang into the blood again and starting on the wings of the tattoo.
"What is it of?" Mayir asked.
"A dragon." Tobias said, looking at Mayir's bare back and the forming tattoo that reached up from her tail bone.
"Did she ask you mortal?" Topaque snapped.
"Silence Topaque." She spat at him for his rude remark. "If he bothers me then I will kill him, but for now he shall be under my charge."
"Are you certain about that Mayir?" Soukon asked glaring at the bard.
"I am." Mayir answered through a yawn.
"Very well, bard, come and sit over here until this is complete." Soukon spat with a growl.
Tobias gave a questioning look at the tall dark man with the white hair who sat by the wall.
"Just go and have a seat with Soukon, Tobias." Mayir said, opening one eye to look up at him.
"Sou... Soukon?" Tobias once again stumbled over his words now terrified of being in the same room with the one who had scared him so that he was unable to play his music for nearly eight years.
"Yes, Soukon." Mayir shut her eyes again. "Now go and sit or I will break you from my charge."
Tobias looked down at Mayir with fear in his eyes, then slowly walked over to the wall and sat as far from Soukon as he possibly could.
Mayir fell asleep then was woken by Topaque's cold hand on her face.
"Three more lines and the tattoo will be complete." He said. Soukon, Sieekon and Jaqyes all stood over her.
Mayir yawned, then nodded and Topaque started on the final touches, when finished he backed up and looked over his work only to gasp. The dragon began to seethe with a green mist, rising up into the rafters. Soukon and Sieekon also gazed in shock and Jaqyes just looked like he was to faint.
"What?" Mayir asked, and then stopped feeling the burning pain melting through her back.
"You are of dragon's blood." Soukon managed to say his eyes widened.
"She is of?" Tobias muttered also standing above her with eyes widened with shock.
"I am of dragon's blood?" Mayir asked, seeming not too disturbed by this occurrence. She expected that she was because of her skills as a sorceress, but this sealed her suspicions. "Then I will be the most powerful sorceress of this land in the end after all."
"Are you not shocked by this?" Soukon asked.
"You...you're a... Dragon's blood...sorceress?" Tobias once again stumbled over his words.
Mayir arose, pulling up the silk sheet with her. "Shocked?" She asked. "No, I am not really." Mayir took her shirt from the wall and put it back on. Then turned back to Tobias. "Why are you concerned?"
"I just, and your so...and I think, but you are...and they are...and he, but you..." Tobias couldn't get any of his words out clearly.
"You are a strange one Tobias." Mayir muttered walking past the gawking dragons and off into a separate room.
"Soukon? Is there anyway that I can have a hot bath here?" She asked stopping to turn back and look at him.
"Of course but doesn't that...?" He asked nodding towards the tattoo.
"Yes, it hurts like hell, but I want to have a nice hot bath." Mayir repeated.
"Fine then, I will get you one." Soukon said, walking over to her.
"Don't you touch her dragon." Tobias spat.
Soukon walked up to Mayir and placed his arm around her shoulders. "Like this?" He asked Tobias. Tobias just seemed to seethe with anger. Mayir and Soukon left the room.
"Hot bath, that's all you ever talk about you know?" Soukon complained, filling the stone tub with boiling water.
"Yes, but have you ever stayed in your human form long enough to try and enjoy it?" Mayir asked him.
"No" He answered.
"Then try, just for once. For me?" Mayir tried to give a sad look.
"No" He said bluntly.
"Fine." Mayir was irritated.
"There you go, your 'nice' hot bath." He muttered walking out.
"Thank you Soukon." Mayir said, kissing him on the cheek.
"What are you...?" Soukon tried to say, but stopped and looked at her. "That was the weirdest sensation I have ever felt." He sated.
"Shoo." Mayir said, shutting the door behind him, laughing to herself.
//I am of dragons blood...// Mayir though to herself, undressing and lowering herself into the hot water. She leaned back and let the steam dose her face. //That is interesting.// Cringing she lowered her head under the water, the fresh tattoo burning. She wanted to strengthen her powers as a sorceress, but as of yet she had found no other to teach her, and she was finding it hard to teach herself, occasion blasts could sound at any time.
Tobias had managed to sneak off from the dragons and hunted Mayir down again, finding a crack where he could see her in the room, the hot steam rising up into the night sky above. He seemed to be drawn to her, and couldn't stop himself, maybe it was that of the dragons that coursed through her veins that gave her, her beauty, but he didn't care. He wanted her.
