Hello again my fellow readers!
So we get a sneak peek of Lenora and Smaug's future in a dream. As does Azog and Bolg reappear in this chapter.

A month passed since the Lonely Mountain became Lenora's new home. True to his word Smaug made no more advances on Lenora which pleased her. During the next few weeks after Smaug apologized to her the fire drake continued his lessons with his Khaleesi. The two of them would fly at night in order to avoid being seen from the local townsfolk of Laketown, as well as others. Lenora's had a little trouble still when it came to allowing the wind to flow underneath her wings. One time she almost fell all the way to the earth beneath her but she then remembered a technique that would stop the falling, and she had opened her wings wide enough to turn her body away from the nosedive and was able to soar right back into the sky. Along with the flight lessons came the use of fire. This Lenora seemed to be good at, however she would still watch Smaug hiss out various flame patterns, as well to control her breathing when her lethal fire would come up her throat.

Then there were also her defending lessons with Smaug in aerial combat. Out of all Smaug's lessons this was her most difficult. She may knew how to fight as in her human form with usual weapons, but in the sky it was a different story. The first few lessons Smaug would always overpower her, but eventually the young dragoness caught on and now she was able to keep up with Smaug. At the moment both dragons were flying back to the Lonely Mountain, both finished from another aerial defending lesson. Smaug had several scratch marks and minor bites on his chest and neck that would heal in a few hours. The scratches came from Lenora's sharp talons and the bites had come from her fangs. Lenora was the first to land at the entrance to the mountain, with Smaug following after.

"You are getting better with your fighting in the air Khaleesi" Smaug complimented the black dragoness as he walked past her. Lenora snorted agreeing with the fire drake and stomped her way over to a set of stone stairs so she could make the shift back to her human form. Smaug picked up a tan dress in his teeth that Lenora made from some of the clothing she found in one of the chests in her room, and dropped it on the stone steps before turning away so Lenora would have some privacy.

The fire drake gave massive yawn and lowered himself amidst his bed of gold. Lenora emerged from behind the stone steps fully dressed in the tan dress. It was a dress that had straps at the shoulders; her feet were bare for once.

"Smaug?" the fire drake perked his head up and looked to his Khaleesi with his golden eyes.

"What is it my Khaleesi?" he asked.

"I have been here a month and I have proven to you that I will not leave the Lonely Mountain" Smaug frowned when he released where this conversation was going.

"I would prefer if you didn't venture out of the mountain Lenora it is dangerous" Smaug began to say and Lenora frowned at him looking annoyed. "But you are correct you have kept your word about not leaving the mountain you may leave our domain if you wish but I would recommend you take at some clothes with you and some weapons"

A smirk came upon Lenora's face and she walked over to the dragon and pressed a smooth hand against his scaly snout.

"I thank you sleep well" Lenora then removed her hand and turned away heading towards her bed chambers. A snort came out of Smaug's nostrils before he rested his head against his gold and closed his eyes. During her stay sometimes Lenora found out Smaug would sleep for days on end, but he would always make sure his Khaleesi had plenty of food before would bury his enormous size underneath his beloved gold. He still scared Lenora when he would wake up and lift his head out of coins. The shape shifter then would rant at him for scaring her, and he would only respond by either giving her a smirk or chuckling at her temper.

Lenora was indeed her mother's child and he felt honored he was now Lenora's mentor and eventually he would be her mate.

"What a day" Lenora said to herself as she stripped off the tan dress she wore leaving her in her undergarments. She pulled back the covers of her bed and quickly got into it. Sleep claimed her as soon as she pulled the blankets over her while her head fell upon the pillow.

Dream

In her dream Lenora was in pain and it was a kind of pain she never felt before. She was in her dragon form and she couldn't move around due to the constant pressure in the lower form of her body near her tail.

"Breathe Khaleesi" Lenora turned to see Smaug next to her and he walked over to her side. He rested himself next to her while lifting his left wing draping it over her scales. Lenora growled and she felt her serpentine neck get tired and Smaug immediately lowered his neck before hers could touch the ground. Her head now rested on the male dragon's neck as something that felt like a contraction surge through her body. The sound of something smooth and hard was heard touching the coins, a few contractions later the same thing happened. Then it happened for a third and fourth time. After the fourth push her dragon body ceased hurting.

"I think it is over mate" Lenora informed Smaug. She then felt the male dragon move and Lenora waited until he was few feet away before she stood up on her own. Both dragons looked to the spot where she seemed to be in labor at, and looking back were four eggs. One egg was a mixture of garnet red with gold flakes, the second egg was gold with garnet red flakes, the third egg was an emerald green all over, while the last egg was silver with gold flakes. Smaug snaked his head towards each of the eggs and sniffed them. He then gently nudged them with his snout and moved them towards Lenora gently. Lenora waited until the eggs were safely resting under her tail.

She allowed Smaug to give each egg an affectionate nuzzle with his snout before he pulled his head away. Lenora then coiled her black tail around the eggs so they would be kept warm.
"You did well my love" Smaug purred to his mate coming behind her and he bent down so he could rest with his beloved. His left wing draped over her body once more while the other rested in front of Lenora's front. His tail intertwined with hers the two dragons then both snaked their necks together so their heads touched one another's.

Present

Lenora woke up with a gasp. In her dream she was about to become a mother and Smaug as it turned out was her true mate. Perhaps it was the dreams were telling her of the future?

She shook her head and lay back down falling back asleep. She had no more dreams of her and Smaug and the supposed eggs instead she dreamt of meeting her mother, which she occasionally dreamed from time to time. By the time she woke up again she felt it was morning and she was hungry. After making the bed and having a quick bath in the indoor lake and dressed, Lenora began to cut off pieces of a doe she and Smaug hunted the other day. She washed the meat quickly before she began to eat. While she ate she sensed Smaug was still sound asleep and an idea came to her head.

She wished to explore more of the landscape around the Lonely Mountain and that way she wouldn't disturb Smaug while he slept. Once she finished with her breakfast she went back to her bedroom to gather some clothes, and Jura. She still wore the same dress from last night and she added several small daggers along with Jura. When she entered the treasure hoard sure enough Smaug was sound asleep on top of his beloved gold and gems. The shape shifter quietly tiptoed out of the room and soon came upon the entrance to the mountain.

It was late morning and the sun was once again shining in the clear blue sky. Lenora removed her dress and placed it on a rock nearby along her weapons before she called to the inner dragon within her. Immediately black smoke engulfed her body as her limps began to stretch, her wings were the first to appear along with her tail. A few seconds later Lenora stood in her graceful dragon state. She turned her head towards her dress and weapons and walked over to where they rested on the rock. She took them her left front claw before she opened her wings and she took flight with a single flap. The morning air was mixture of warm and cold as she soared through the air with ease flapping her leathery wings every five minutes.

I am getting good at this the dragoness said in her mind as she began to fly downwards in the direction of the lake.

She landed on shoreline of the lake with a simple few flaps of her wings before touching the ground with her talons. Once she landed her body began to smoke black once more and she now stood nude. Lenora quickly grabbed her dress and pulled it on so she wouldn't feel too exposed. Lenora spent the next hours either letting the lake water touch her feet, or resting in the sun. The warmth of the sun made Lenora sleepy and as she felt her eyelids get heavy did a familiar scent fill her nose. Immediately Lenora got to her feet and grabbed Jura. She unsheathed the blade and its song echoed the morning air as Lenora looked into the eyes of Azog the Defiler his sword interlocked with Jura.

Hello Little Wolf Azog greeted her in Black Speech.

How did you find me?! Lenora snapped back in elfish.

We followed your scent came the voice of Bolg. Lenora's eyes frowned as Azog's son came to join his father's side and she was surrounded by other orcs.

It is time I killed you for injuring me Azog snapped at her. He then removed his sword from hers and he barked at his comrades to stay back, that this was his fight.

"Then face me you murderer" Lenora hissed and she ran towards Azog lifting Jura over her head. Azog was ready and he held his sword out ready. Both blades met once more in song before the true fight began. Lenora made many jabs at Azog but he simply dodged them.

He must have been training for this rematch Lenora thought in her mind. She ducked as Azog threw a spiked ball towards her after she used Jura to swing his sword out of his hand. She hurriedly ducked at his swing and used that chance to push Jura into his side. Azog yelped in pain and Lenora quickly pulled her beloved blade out of his side, the blade soaked with his blood at the tip. Azog stood back up his make shift hand applying pressure to his bleeding wound.

I suggest you leave or else you won't live to see tomorrow Lenora threatened pressing Jura at Azog's chest with its tip. Azog only smirked and as quick as lightning he drew out a dagger and pushed it hard into Lenora left side. Lenora looked down and recognized it as a Morgul blade, the poison within such a weapon was lethal if not treated with the right medicine. Lenora dropped Jura and fell to the ground screaming in pain. The pain was horrible and Lenora could only curl into a ball trying to find relief.

Kill her! Azog commanded at Bolg who smirked taking out a sword of his own. Then the angry roar of Smaug suddenly filled the air making all of the orcs look up. Lenora looked up weakly as the fire drake came flying down towards Azog and his comrades at a nose dive.

"You dare attack what is mine!" Smaug roared before his chest glowed orange and flames shot out of his mouth at the circle of Orcs surrounding Lenora. The orcs screamed as they were lit up by Smaug's flames, some ran for it, while others hurried into the lake to put out the flames. Smaug then came upon the lake hovering over it with his wings in a series of flaps and he attacked the orcs in the water with his claws and fangs. Lenora watched as Smaug tear the orcs into two, or kill them with a simple bite that resulted in them bleeding to death.

The other orcs who didn't catch fire all turned around and ran for it while Bolg and Azog shouted that they were cowards in Black Speech. Orc blood began to stain the lake water as Smaug then flew over to the shore and he finally landed next to Lenora. He pulled his body so it coiled itself around her.
Get out of the way dragon she is ours! Azog snapped at Smaug who replied with a roar.

"You do not command me orc, the female is mine!"

Smaug then felt something hit against his chest and he turned to Bolg, his golden eyes narrowing at the bow he held, the arrow simply deflected itself off of him. Smaug then laughed and began to taunt the two male orcs.

"My armor is iron you fool! As are my teeth are swords! My claws are spears! My wings roar that of a hurricanes! No arrow or blade can pierce me!"

"Smaug" Lenora called to the angry dragon weakly. Smaug looked to Lenora with his left golden eye. The shape shifter stood onto her feet and she held a single dagger in her hand. With little strength she had left she threw herself upon Bolg and she kicked him hard in the gut making him fall to the ground beneath her. Azog was about to aid his son, when Smaug only used the power of his tail to hit him hard and the orc went flying. Lenora then punched Bolg's eye hard. The male orc screamed in pain and Lenora quickly used her knife to cut him underneath his left eye before Smaug pulled her away with his left claw.

The dragon clutched Lenora into his grasp before taking flight. He knew where some medicine was that could heal Morgul poisoning. But doing so he would have to revert to his human form. He flew towards his home as fast as his wings could carry him. He landed with ease careful to not crush Lenora. He opened his left claw and placed Lenora a few feet away from him. Lenora continued to gasp and yell in pain. Already her body was turning pale from the poison.

"Hold on Khaleesi" Smaug reassured Lenora before his body began to smoke a dark red. A few minutes later he was in his human form and he hurried over to Lenora scooping her into his arms. He held the shape shifter close to his chest as he took her to her bedroom. He gently placed her onto her bed before turning around to get the medicine. The healer's quarters were close to the lake chamber so he didn't have to walk far. He swiped the proper herbs and other supplies before hurrying back to Lenora's room. Lenora's breathing was become shallow and Smaug knew he didn't have much time. He took the bowl of water and rinsed off of the healing herb which wasn't Kingsfoil.

There were various amounts of other healing herbs around his home, and over the years he collected some in case he were poisoned himself. Once the herb was rinsed he pulled Lenora's dress up to where her stab wound was. It was still bleeding but not like it had been earlier. He began to chant in the language of his kind as he crushed the herb and then pressed it against her wound. Lenora continued to whimper as he did this.

"Easy Khaleesi" Smaug said to Lenora as her body shook for a second, he had to hold her so she wouldn't thrash about . He held the herb down against her wound for about ten minutes before he felt the healing power from the plant already taking affect. He then pulled off some bandage wrap and used a single claw to tear off of the end. He then wrapped the cloth around Lenora's middle so the herb could stay in place on her wound. Lenora's breathing became normal and she had tears flowing down her eyes since she was still in so much pain. Once he finished wrapping her side up, he washed his hands in the water before placing the bowl on the with Jura, he snatched the sword and its scabbard along with the daggers Lenora brought with her, before he left the lake.

"Smaug?" Lenora called out weakly.

"I am here Khaleesi" Smaug reassured her. He came to her side and brought her right hand to his lips, he gave Lenora a kiss against each finger before he pulled her hand close to his heart.

"Am I dying?" she asked.

"No" was all Smaug could say. Suddenly Lenora shivered before saying.

"I am cold"

"Then allow me to warm you" Smaug let go of her hand before he removed the black robe he wore and it pooled to the floor.

His feet were bare and climbed into Lenora's bed; he pulled the shape shifter into his muscular arms. Lenora felt safe in the dragon's grasp and she allowed her eyes to close so her body could rest.
