Quinn will get super strength at my Christmas Chapter. And also, Val couldn't use her super speed because the people of lake-town will think she is a witch and she can't tell Smaug she is from another world.
Chapter 3: His Mate
It's been five days since Val lives with Smaug. She was well behave and obedient. She didn't disturbed Smaug on his sleep, she didn't anger him, and she didn't even steal his gold. Instead, she explores Smaug's kingdom. She ran down the halls, climbing down and up the stairs, exploring inside the chiseled homes, looking at the tapestry, and looking at the jewels curiously.
She didn't take anything from the mines or the chamber. Val was allowed to take books since she hasn't anything to do. She likes to read many story books and history, she was lucky to read this language easily. Smaug was rather pleased about Val. She was a very obedient and well mannered. Not like those insolent brats at any village. Smaug thinks that Val was decedent to a royal family but Val told him she wasn't from any royal family. She learns to be good and polite from her Mother, Alma.
Smaug was lying on his gold bed. He was listening to Val's ocarina music. He enjoys the soothing music of hers. It was calm, relaxing and beautiful. She was the perfect child to him. Sure, she wasn't a dragon but she did say that she can turn to any animals. He wonders…
"Valentina?" Smaug glanced at her on the corner of his eyes.
Val stops playing her ocarina, "Yes, great Smaug?"
"Did anyone teach you how to use your dragon form?" he asked, lifting his head so he can look at her closely.
Val shook her head, "No, there were no dragons in my island that can teach me that form." She looks at the ground sadly, "It's a pity though, if I can use my dragon form properly. I can control my fire."
Smaug looks at her for a second before standing up. The gold coins fell off his back and to the ground.
"Come," Smaug ordered before walking away.
Val gets up and puts her ocarina in her pouch before following Smaug. Smaug opens the massive doors that lead outside. He went out and Val follows him. She squint her eyes from the light before she adjusted them. It was already morning and it was cold. Val guessed it was close to winter. Val saw Smaug looking down at her, "Why are we here, great Smaug?" She asked.
"We are here so I can teach you the proper ways of the dragons." He said.
Val's eyes widen in shock, "You would train me? But I'm just a human." She said.
"A human with potential of being a dragon," Smaug said, "Are you ready?"
Val was confused. Alex told her stories about Smaug having a great hate of humans, dwarves and elves and others. But he wasn't cruel to her for some reason. Val looks at him and nodded.
"Good, but first show me your dragon form."
Val nodded and closed her eyes. Her body grows and golden scales appeared. Her form has four legs and it was kinda cute. She has a triangular head and two sapphire horns on her head. She's twice the size of a human. Her accessories were still on her. When she opens her eyes, they were sparkling like sapphire jewels. Smaug felt the sense of greed when he looks at Val's eyes. Her eyes were a living jewel!
Val looks at Smaug, "What's next?" she asked, trotting over to him.
"Next is your fire breathing," Smaug stood tall, "Do you know how to control it?"
Dragon Val shook her head, "No, I have trouble controlling it."
"How strong can you release your fire?" he asked.
"Not much," Val said, "I can only release few amounts of my fire but if I get nervous or scared my fire gets out of control."
Smaug hums a bit, "It appears that you need to focus your energy of your fire." He said, "Watch me." He turns his head in front. His underbelly started to glow before he releases a powerful explosion of fire from his mouth. Val watches in awe as Smaug finished his fire. He looks down at Val, "Now you try."
Val gulps before going in front. She was nervous. She doesn't know how to use her fire power yet. Smaug saw this and said, "Let the fire from within flow. You are one with the fire."
Val took breathe and sigh. She closes her eyes and focuses her fire. She felt something warm on her chest. She focuses her energy until she felt her chest on fire.
"Now release!" Smaug commanded.
Snapping her eyes open, to revile sparkling amber eyes, Val releases a powerful fire like Smaug but a smaller version. Smaug felt pride coming from him and his treasure. Val finished her fire and her eyes transforms back and she started panting.
"You did well." Smaug made a small smile.
Val just nodded as she continues panting. After Val calms down, Smaug's next lesson is to teach her how to fly. Sure, she learns how to fly with Polly and Dixie but she never fly with her dragon form. She watches as Smaug bound forward before leaping in the air and started flying. He waited for Val in the air. Val just leaps up in the air. She learned it from the birds. She flies over to Smaug. He nodded and flies towards another direction with Val following from behind.
Smaug doesn't need to worry about thieves since they never dare enter his domain. So he can relax on this afternoon flight. Val was able to catch up to him. Smaug glanced over to her. He saw her eyes were pearly white.
"Are you using an element?" he asked, flapping his wings.
Val nodded, "The wind element, oh great Smaug."
Smaug nodded and teaches Val the proper ways of flying. She was able to do it well without any of her powers or his help. She was perfect student and daughter for him. Smaug wishes that he has a mate so he can share this moment but he was the last of the Firedrakes along with Val, even though she was human, she still a dragon in soul. Smaug decided to play with Val, since she doesn't have any friends here. He actually enjoys it. They play tag in air and hide and seek. Val was the champion on hide and seeks due to her small size, she was the best.
They played until dark. Smaug actually enjoyed playing with Val and she was tired. He carried her back to his chamber. Val was in her normal form and was sleeping on his back, completely exhausted from the training and the game. Smaug doesn't mind, he enjoys it. Having her in his back, felt like he was true father. As he got back to gates, he smelled something. Sniffing the air, his eyes widen.
He smelled a dragon.
He narrowed his eyes before entering the chamber in a rush. If this dragon steals his gold, he will not hesitate to kill him. Smaug glanced over to Val to see if she was awake from his sudden change of speed. She was still sleeping in his back, which was good, because he doesn't want to disturb her dreams. Once he got to his chamber, his mind crashed in a sudden stop and black heart skipped a beat.
Sleeping elegantly on the pile of gold was a slender black female dragon with sapphire blue fire markings. She has four legs, her front and back has blue fire markings. Her tail was like a wipe. Her head was triangular with two black curved horns on her head. She appears to be half the size of Smaug, and is a fully matured adult. She was sleeping and didn't have greed over his gold.
Smaug heard Val yawning. He turns his head to see Val rubbing her eyes before getting off of his back. Val looks at him then to the chamber and her eyes widen in surprise to see a dragoness.
"Who's she?" Val asked.
"I do not know, Valentina." Smaug answered, walking quietly over to the dragoness.
Val follows him silently. Smaug lies down next to the dragoness. She was in a deep sleep, no bothering to wake up. Smaug guessed that she was exhausted. Val walks over to the dragoness and puts her hand on the dragoness's scales. Val closes her eyes before activating her sclera. Val was using her psychic to check if this female is bad. Turns out, she was good and only came here to rest and leave without taking any gold. As she finished she went over to Smaug and explained everything to him. He understands and will speak with the female tomorrow. Val sleeps on top of Smaug's massive head. As she fell asleep, Smaug glanced over to the dragoness. She was very beautiful and elegant. He did wish for a mate of his own to protect his gold and Val. Draping his wing over to the female's body, Smaug went to sleep with Val close to him and the dragoness by his side.
The dragoness woke up early. Her blue eyes glanced around until she saw the wing draped on her. She looks over to the right to see a red male dragon. He was twice the size of her and he was sleeping next to her. Silently getting up and out from the male, the dragoness headed towards the exit of the chamber. She didn't want to take the treasure she just needed place to sleep so she can find a new home. As she left, she didn't know that Smaug had just woken up and notices the dragoness was gone. He gently puts down Val and went after the female. He was able to catch up to her. She was half way towards the exit. Smaug let out a loud rumble that caught the dragoness's attention. She watches as Smaug reviled himself out of the pillars.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at her.
The dragoness's sapphire blue eyes looked at his golden eyes, "My name is Serena." She answered in a beautiful cold voice. Smaug found her voice very beautiful. "I come from the southern part of the Middle-Earth." Serena added.
"Why are you here?"
"I didn't mean to enter your territory." She said, "I was just resting so I may continue my travel to search for a new home."
"Why are you searching for a new home?" Smaug looks at her.
"My original home from the south was destroyed by Orcs." Serena said, looking at the ground, "My parents were sick. I left in order to search for a rare plant for curing their sickness. Upon my return, Orcs invaded and killed my parents." She glares on the ground.
Smaug saw this and asked, "They murdered your parents?"
"The Orcs were weak and pathetic," Serena growls, "They show no greatness in battle. They fought the weak, making them cowards and weaklings. They think they were strong but those fools were killed by my fire." Serena looks at Smaug, "From that day on, I search for a new land to call on my home."
Smaug looks at her sapphire eyes. They resemble to Valentina's but Val's eyes were filled with life and happiness. Serena's eyes were filled with grief, sadness and loneliness but hidden in her eyes were kindness and gentleness.
Straiten himself fully, Smaug looks at her, "You may live here at my territory." He said.
Serena looks at him a bit shock, "What?"
"I said. You may live with me." Smaug looks at her eyes.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
Smaug nodded, "Yes, I need the help I can get to protect my territory." He turned away, "Come." Smaug walks back to the chamber. Serena followed him. As they walk, Serena asked, "I didn't get your name."
Smaug glanced at her. All dragons know and feared him but Serena. She doesn't know him. "You do not know who I am?" he asked.
Serena shook her head, "No, there were no other dragons from the south but me and my parents."
"Very well, I am Smaug the Golden." Smaug said proudly.
Serena nodded, "This kingdom, did you invade it?"
Smaug smirks smugly, "I concurred Erebor for years. The Dwarves used to mine here but the king, Thror, became ill. His love at gold became too fierce. It became his sickness of his mind and where sickness thrives…"
"…Bad things happen." Serena finished, "I understand now."
Smaug smirks. He is going to enjoy this dragoness's company. As they reach to the chamber, they saw Val still sleeping on the gold. She was still tired from yesterday. Serena's eyes widen in shock to see Val. She thought Smaug hated mortals.
"Why is there a human child here?" Serena asked in confusion.
"I found her few days ago. She was defending herself against the Orcs and I save her from the last one." Smaug explained, "She has many secret talents hidden inside of her and I trained her how to use her skills properly."
"Really?" Serena looks at him in amazement.
Smaug nodded with a prideful smirk. The adults went over to Val. Smaug lowered his head nudge Val gently, "Wake up Valentina." He rumbles silently.
Val fluttered her eyes and sits up. She rubs her eyes with a yawn. She blinks her eyes until they were clear. She saw Serena looking down at her. Val got up and looks at her.
"Valentina, this is Serena. Serena this is Valentina." Smaug introduced.
"Greetings Serena," Val smiled with a bow.
Serena looks at Val with a small smile. She took a liking on her already. Smaug watches them with a small smile. Serena was beautiful when she smiles. Val showed Serena her powers while Smaug left to hunt some food for him and Serena. Val doesn't eat meat a lot. She eats the fruits in the tree that she made near the hall. Serena told her story to a curious Val. Val was amaze by Serena and wonders if Smaug likes her. When Smaug returned with a deer on his jaws, he saw Serena telling stories to his child. He gave the meat to Serena while Val eats some fruits. Serena was curious about Smaug's kingdom and she asked him about it. Smaug was happily to provide, liking the sound of his voice showing off his knowledge smugly.
Serena was amaze by him. She can tell he had a hard life by those battle scars. The three talked until noon.
Smaug rested on his pile of gold while Serena plays with Val outside near the city of Dale. Smaug wasn't worried about that, he knows Serena will protect his child and Val can defend herself. Serena decided to teach Val how to use blue fire.
Most dragons breathe reddish yellow fire but Serena breathes blue fire that can melt anything. She even knows how to use lightning, a rare element for a dragon to have. Val mastered them perfectly. Serena even teaches Val about different types of herbs of healing. Val really likes Serena, her voice and smile reminded of her mother, Alma. Smaug came out, saying he needed to spread his wings. Val transforms into her dragon form before taking off followed by Smaug and Serena. The three glided in the air. Val did some impressive flips and spins and twirls in the air. Serena was impressed by her moves.
"Did you teach her that?" Serena asked.
Smaug smirks at her, "Yes, but she learned the others on her own."
"Impressive," Serena commented with a small smile.
Val flies towards them with a smile as she roars playfully at the sky, pretending to scare some animals. Snorting, Smaug shows Val the true way of bringing fear. He let out a powerful roar that scared the birds away. Serena joins in as well. Their roar echoed through the land, bringing fear to everyone's heart. Val's childish laughed echoed to the sky. After their flight, they returned back to the kingdom. Smaug lies down on his gold with Serena by his side. Val turns back to normal and sleeps on Smaug's massive head. Smaug draped a wing over to Serena before looking at her and Val. Smaug felt happy. He found a perfect mate and perfect adopted daughter. The gold that Smaug stole felt nothing to compare to Serena and Val. They are his new jewels, his treasures, his family and he will do anything to protect them, even if it means losing his life.
Yawning, Smaug laid his head on the gold before going to sleep with his two beloved treasures.
Unknown to the three didn't know that the people of Lake-town heard their roar and Val's laughter and began to grow fear in their hearts. There was second dragon and a little girl in the Lonely Mountain. There were many questions in their minds. They wondered about the little girl in the mountain. Did she get kidnapped? Did she become Smaug's servant? Or did she bewitch him? But they feared about the second dragon. They feared if Smaug has a mate then his spawns will be born and bring terror to the lands. The whispered to the docks and the whispers turned into gossip and gossip turns into a rumors.
The rumors been spread to the entire lands. A wizard known as Gandalf the Grey heard about this rumor and began to worry. If this dragon is a friend of Smaug then the company will have trouble reclaiming Erebor with two dragons plus he wonders about little girl in the mountain. Did Smaug taken her away from her family? He always thought of Smaug as a heartless killer but Gandalf can't think of that right now. Or maybe the child is young witch that used some kind of magic to make Smaug accept her. He needs to get to the Bag End, where there is a meeting with the dwarves and discussing about finding a burglar.
Once he came, he already saw the band of Dwarves in the Hobbit's home, making themselves quite at home. Gandalf find it amusing at the site, he saw the dwarves taking all of the food of the Hobbit's, making a big feast for themselves. There is one similarity between Dwarves and Hobbits and it is the love of foods. The Hobbit named Bilbo was confused and wanted to know what's going on. But Gandalf will explain later. When Thorin arrived, Gandalf knew he had to tell him the rumor. They all seated around Bilbo's table and began discussing.
"What news from the meeting in Ered Luin?" an old dwarf called Balin asked, "Did they all come?"
"Aye," Thorin looks disappointed, "Envoys from all seven kingdoms."
"And what did the Dwarves of the Iron Hills say?" a younger and more brutish dwarf name Dwalin asked, "Is Dain with us?"
"They will not come." Thorin said gravely. All the thirteen dwarves murmured in disappointment. Gandalf was worried. Without any help with the other Dwarves in Iron Hills will help them on their quest but since hearing the news of the second dragon and the little girl. He worried that two dragons might bring their quest to a downfall but the little girl…he doesn't know if she is a witch. "They say this quest is ours and ours alone."
"You're going on a quest?" Bilbo hesitantly asked by Gandalf shoulder.
Gandalf smiled at him, "Bilbo, my dear fellow," he said, "Let us have a little more light." In an instant, Bilbo scurried off to retrieve a candle. Gandalf took out a map from his pocket and set it down, "Far to the east...over ranges and rivers...beyond woodlands and wastelands...lies a single, solitary peak." The map shows many lands and a single mountain with a dragon circling around it. Bilbo came with a candle in hand before looking at the map.
"The Lonely Mountain…"
"Aye," a red and stocky dwarf name Golin said, "Oin has read the portents...and the portents say it is time."
"Ravens have been seen flying back to the mountain, as it was foretold." An old, sort of deaf, and appointed healer of the group named Oin said. Gandalf lit his pipe and began to smoke. He was trying to make the best way to tell the dwarves his news about the second dragon and the mysterious little girl. "When the birds of yore return to Erebor the reign of the beast will end."
"Uh, what beast?" Bilbo asked with a frown.
"That would be a reference to Smaug the Terrible...chiefest and greatest calamity of our age." A dwarf wearing a weird hat name Bofur said, "Airborne fire-breather." He added, "Teeth like razors, claws like meat hooks. Extremely fond of precious metals…"
"Yes, I know what a dragon is." Bilbo said, not wanting to hear more of Smaug's terrible.
"I'm not afraid!" Ori stood up, "I'm up for it. I'll give him a taste of Dwarfish iron right up his jacksie!" he snickered while the others, minus Thorin, Bilbo and Gandalf, cheered.
"Sit down." Dori scolded, pulling Ori down onto his seat.
"I also have something tell you," Gandalf looks at them gravely, "There were rumors in the lands, rumors about the Lonely Mountain that will make are quest difficult to accomplish."
"What rumors?" Thorin asked, slightly narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
"Rumors of the sighting of Smaug…" Gandalf clench his teeth as he tries to say it, "And also…a second dragon."
"What?!" all the dwarves yelled in shock and horror.
"What exactly did you heard, Gandalf?" Thorin asked coldly yet quickly.
"The second dragon was heard by a loud and powerful roar with Smaug," Gandalf explained, "Not only that Smaug is awake but also alive, despite his six years of absences." He looks at everyone, "If this dragon is friend of Smaug then he has a companion to help him guard his treasures. I suspect you raise an army from dwarf families, but it seems that we are dealing with a terrible threat."
"The task would be difficult enough with an army behind us...but we number just 13 and not 13 of the best...nor brightest." Balin said.
There were mumbles of outrage under their breathes, like their pride has been embarrassed.
"We may be few in number...but we're fighters, all of us, to the last Dwarf." A blonde youth and Thorin's nephew name Fili said.
"And you forget," Kili a dark youth and Fili's brother added, "We have a Wizard in our company. Two dragons or one, I wager that Gandalf will have killed hundreds of dragons in his time!"
"Oh, well, no. I wouldn't say..." Gandalf tried to reason.
"How many, then?" Dori asked.
"What?" Gandalf asked, pretending he didn't get the question.
"Well, how many dragons have you killed?" Dori asked, "Go on. Give us a number!"
Then an argument broke out. Gandalf looked at them nervously until Thorin stood up, "Enough!" he yelled and all the dwarves sat back down and be quiet. "If we have read these signs do you not think others will have read them too?" Thorin looks at them, "Rumors have begun to spread. The dragon, Smaug, has not been seen for 60 years. Eyes look east to the mountain, assessing...wondering, weighing the risk. Perhaps the vast wealth of our people now lies unprotected. Do we sit back while others claim what is rightfully ours? Or do we seize this chance to take back Erebor?"
The dwarves agreed loudly to take Erebor back.
"You forget," Balin cuts in, "The Front Gate is sealed. There is no way into the mountain."
"That, my dear Balin, is not entirely true." Gandalf took out a key and shown it to everyone. All dwarves looked at it in wonder and curiosity but Thorin is more wondered at the key.
"How come you by this?" Thorin asked.
"It was given to me by your father." Gandalf explained, "By Thrain. For safekeeping, It is yours now." He gives the key to Thorin, who hesitantly gets it.
"If there is a key...there must be a door." Fili mutters.
"These runes speak of a hidden passage to the Lower Halls." Gandalf points his pipe at the map.
"There's another way in." Kili mutters excitingly.
"Well, if we can find it, but Dwarf doors are invisible when closed. The answer lies hidden somewhere in this map...and I do not have the skill to find it. But there are others in Middle-earth who can. The task I have in mind will require a great deal of stealth...and no small amount of courage. But if we are careful and clever, I believe that it can be done." Gandalf explained.
"That's why we need a burglar." Ori said.
"Hmm. And a good one too," Bilbo said, "An expert, I'd imagine.
"And are you?" Gloin asked.
"Am I what?" Bilbo looks at him in confusion.
"He said he's an expert!" Oin cheered, held up his trumpet in his ear.
"Me? No. No, no, no. I'm not a burglar. I've never stolen a thing in my life." Bilbo said, not wanting to be a part of this quest.
"Well, I'm afraid I have to agree with Mr. Baggins." Balin said, "He's hardly burglar material."
"Aye," Dwalin agreed, "The Wild is no place for gentle folk who can neither fight nor fend for themselves."
Another argument broke down. Half of them said Bilbo makes a fine burglar but others say he is not. Gandalf stood up with a booming shadow grew across the room, "Enough!" Gandalf yelled angrily, making everyone cringed in fear, "If I say Bilbo Baggins is a burglar, then a burglar he is." Gandal calms down as the shadow disappears behind him, "Hobbits are remarkably light on their feet. In fact, they can pass unseen by most, if they choose. And, while the dragon is accustomed to the smell of Dwarf…" Gandalf looks at Bilbo, "...But the scent of a Hobbit is all but unknown to him, which gives us a distinct advantage." He looks at Thorin, "You asked me to find the 14th member of this company and I have chosen Mr. Baggins. There's a lot more to him than appearances suggest. And he's got a great deal more to offer than any of you know. Including, himself, you must trust me on this."
Thorin looks at him skeptically before sighing, "Very well," he said, ignoring Bilbo's protest. He looks at Balin, "Give him the contract."
Balin nodded and took out a contract from his pocket. Bilbo looks at Gandalf pleadingly. Gandalf smiled apologetic to Bilbo and then remembered something, "I almost forgot to mention," all eyes were at him, "There were rumors of a little girl in the mountain."
"A child in the mountain," Balin looks at him, with a contract in hand, "But how?"
"Rumors said that the little girl might bewitched him or became his servant…no one knows what's her purpose but she might be the one responsible for the second dragon."
"That's impossible," Thorin looks at him, not believing in that rumor, "No one ever enters the mountain with a dragon inside. They end up dead."
"But this child somehow made Smaug to take her." Gandalf said, "She's either a royal child that lost her home or a witch that came from a village."
"I like it better if it was a maiden instead of a little girl." Fili whispered to Kili, "Then we get to rescue her and she will choose the one to wed." Kili grins and nodded in agreement.
"Are we going to save her?" Nori asked.
"I'm not sure if this child needs rescue," Gandalf said, "They said that the people of Lake Town has heard laughter in the sky. The child must'veplayed with the dragons."
"A child playing with dragons," Thorin spat out, already hating the child, "Sounds like a witch too me."
"Thorin, we don't know that for sure." Balins said, "She's just a child."
"No child has ever played with dragons!" Thorin glares at him, "That child has no rights to be rescued. When we reclaim our home she either leaves or dies."
There was a dead silence. Balin sighs and nodded, he gives the contract to a scared Bilbo. Gandalf looks at Thorin. He began to worry about the little girl. If she was a witch from a powerful race then she will kill the dwarves or she somehow open up Smaug's black heart and befriended the second dragon easily. He wonders…
Is the little girl a Dragon Child?
Sorry for the late update! My sister forced me to go on the mall yesterday since she wanted me to carry all her shopping bags. MMM I don't think I can make a crossover with My Little Pony because my mom said that's for little kids. So sorry, and I'm not yet down with the Dragon Heart crossover. So please accept my deepest apologies.
And oh! Here is the winner on the crossovers.
Night of the Museum: Dinosaur Imperial Soldier
I'm sorry for the others. It's not I don't like the ideas, it's just Eragon make me emotionally sad because it reminds me of my best friend who moved to a different school four years ago and Terminator is a bit too…well hard to make because Val will inherit a new power at Transformers Prime Predacon Rising. Pokémon makes me sad because my cousin and I fight a lot on who's the best trainer. Digimon is kinda old for me. Power Ranger Dino Charge brings me back memories of my aunt who moved away to another country and Total Drama might expose Jay's identity.
I will try to post in on a deviant art of my pictures of Predacons and cybertronian female that I will get after I finish my drawings.
And you guys wonder what's a dragon child right? Well, I'm not telling you all until the next chapter. And the guest who gave me the idea of Evolve, please say your name so I can give you the credit, so no one can steal it and also I saw it on youtube. It's a hunting game or a survival game? Just tell me okay?
Please forgive me and hope you enjoyed it.
