Inferno: Finally
Me: I said stay quiet about that! E-enjoy the chapter while I take care of this
Atlantia woke me up with a kiss in the morning, and as I stared into her violet eyes I knew that this was the true beginning of our lives together. I pulled back to say hi to her, but she wouldn't let me go without one more for the morning.
"Well good morning to you too Lanti, what's gotten you so happy?"
"Oh nothing much, just happy that we no longer have to hide our relationship from anyone else, and I'm glad you're the dragon I'm spending my life with; I love you fernie."
"I love you too Lanti, and I'm glad I'm saying it to you and nobody else." She smiled at her new nickname, sure it was basically the same as the one she gave me, but we don't have much to work with here. We both got up and began our search for breakfast, I flew over the sea and caught us some tuna, really good sized ones at that, I then flew back to our home and began to cook them while i waited for her to return. About ten minutes later Atlantia came back with a deer which would be great for later, so we stored it away. After breakfast we flew off to visit the others on the main island, it was then we realized that there were two new dragons on the island besides Sprouter. One of them looked like a poison dragon who seemed to be around Tidal's age, but she was living in her own grass habitat since the one Greenroot was in seemed kind of small, and Grallya wouldn't take too kindly to another girl near her mate; the second dragon seemed to be a pumpkin dragon, but this one was a baby and had to share a habitat with Breeze, although she didn't mind since he seemed almost like a little brother to her. We landed and asked Greenroot what was going on.
"Well apparently overnight, two new dragons were shipped over to the island, but i think they're alright. The name of the poison one is Sting, while the pumpkin dragon is named Harvest."
"Well two more dragons to the island will make an impact in the future of the island, but anyway we just stopped by to see how everyone's doing. How's Sprouter by the way?"
"He's fine, Grallya has him right now, she's helping to feed him." I simply smiled and gave a quick nod, then i went off to see how the others were doing. Atlantia visited her brother while i did the same, but he wasn't in the flame habitat which was weird, and i didn't see Breeze anywhere either; I then put two and two together and realized that those two had gone out on a date or something. The rest of the day we just hung out at the island, talking, meeting the new arrivals and just having fun; but as the sun sets, Atlantia and I return to our home.
"You know Inferno, i feel like this will work out after all, i mean all of our friends accept us now, and they even helped you build this wonderful place."
"Yeah, but this only means that we're accepted through the island, not over the world; there's still wars going on between our species and if my father ever found out about you and I, he would split us apart and never let me see you again as well as keeping a close guard on me, or worse, he'll exile me from the family and make all the other fire dragons treat me as an outlaw." Atlantia moved forward and nuzzled me under the chin with her head, then she looked up at me with what looked like nervousness i her eyes.
"Inferno, i never told you this but, my brother and I are a part of the Oceanus family."
"Wait you mean THE Oceanus family? The one family that rules over all water dragons?"
"Yes, that's the one, i never told you because i thought you would have been too afraid to be with me since both our families are species leaders and our relationship would have caused greater conflict." I leaned forward and rested my head on her shoulder to reassure her.
"Atlantia, don't worry about our families; don't get me wrong, I am afraid at what migt happen if either one of them found out, but no matter what, we'll face it together, i'll fight my father, my family, even the whole fire dragon species, just to stay with you." She smiled as well as let out a few tears, but i wasn't having any of that, so I captured her in a kiss to make her truly believe everything was going to be alright. The kiss lasted a long time, and eventually it evolved into one of the most passionate nights either one of us has ever had, and I didn't care what happened in the future, as long as i face it with Atlantia.
In the morning i woke up to find her still sleeping, so i decided not to wake her up and flew off to get the deer from the day before; surprisingly covering a deer carcass with rocks helps to keep the insects away. i cooked up the meat and brought it back over to our nests, she was still asleep so i decided to start eating; about an hour later she woke up, with me sitting next to her, then she sniffed the air to inhale the aroma.
"Ooh, looks like someone's got breakfast."
"Yeah, the good thing is my nest makes it lose almost no heat, so it's still nice and warm for you." She took a bite out of it and immediately began eating devouring the whole thing. "Jeez slow down, you're gonna hurt your stomach eating that fast."
"Sorry, i just feel really hungry for some reason, anyway Grallya, Breeze and I are having a girls day today, we're also inviting Sting along so she can get accustomed to us, so how about you go and hang out with the others?"
"Uh, sure, i kinda needed a day with the guys as well. So I guess i'll see you later then?"
"Yeah, i'll see you later." I flew to the island to meet up with the guys so we could hang out.
"Hey Greenroot, how's it going?"
"It's going fine, Sprouter's starting to learn how to use his powers."
"That's cool, hey Atlantia and the girls are hanging out tonight, wanna grab the guys to hang out?"
"Sure, I guess i can go; Sprouter should be alright here, so when do we start?"
"Right now i guess, let's go get Blaze and Tidal." We all grouped up and went off to have a fun time out, i looked over my shoulder to see the shapes of Atlantia and others flying in the other direction, but for now it was guys night out. We came back a little after midnight, and with multiple scrapes, cuts and bruises from the sparring matches we had, but overall it was a really fun time out. The girls came back a little before us and were waiting, and unlike us being all rugged, wounded and dirty, the girls were all shined, clean and (Atlantia the most) more beautiful than ever. Grallya spoke up for the girls and even beginning with a chuckle.
"Alright boys, close your mouths before you flood the island with your drooling." We each wiped away our chins and just looked around like there was nothing wrong, although i did see Tidal taking quick peeks over at Sting until she almost caught him staring. Everyone then went off to their own partner, although Breeze and Grallya both ordered Greenroot and Blaze to wash up, i could expect that from Atlantia when we get back. As we flew back to our island, i took note that Atlantia's stomach seemed a little rounder than usual, but i just brushed it off until we got back; I was about to lay down but then she moved right in front of me.
"Where do you think you're going Inferno?"
"To sleep, where else?"
"Um, how about the ocean, there is no way you are going to sleep like that, seriously all four of you guys looked like you were fighting in a war."
"*sigh* Well, i expected this, fine i'll go wash up, but the night's warm tonight so you're sleeping in your own nest for once."
"Fine by me, i didn't feel like sleeping next to you tonight anyway."
"Fine."
"Fine." We stared each other down with serious faces until it was too much to bear so we just burst out laughing at each other. I went over to the ocean to clean up, the salt-water stung a little bit in the scrapes and claw marks but it was nothing i couldn't bear, once you get tangled in a giant forest of thorns controlled by a battle ready forest dragon, there's really nothing much to match up to the pain. After I cleaned up i went back to the nests where i saw Atlantia already sleeping underwater in her nest, i just walked over to mine and curled up to sleep, but began wondering again on why her stomach seemed a little more round today.
There, Chapter 6 is out are you guys happy? Now i know that around the middle i was borderline T-M rating, but i made sure to keep it within the guidelines. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed and i will see you next chapter, peace.
