Chapter 9: I Ate Out a Genius

While Spyro and Cynder were being knighted in the beer hall of the temple, Shigi was enjoying himself back in their room. He was in heaven: eating sugared dates and almonds while reading dirty dragon magazines. "Wow, that's a huge Grand Canyon on her. It's nice and smooth and creamy," he drooled before eating another date. He was taking his pants off, ready to play with himself, when, all of a sudden, he heard a very loud knock on the door.

He rushed to the door and opened it, revealing Jeenie at the threshold. "Ah, she-dragon!" he screamed, jumping back and falling to the floor in panic. "I-I know I made you a widow, but I have nothing against the dragons! I was only following orders. I beg of you, please…."

"Relax, troll, I was just wondering where the hell Helix is. He left without telling me," she said with an angry look.

Shigi rose from the ground as a sigh of relief passed through his lips.

"Ah, sorry, she-dragon. He is most likely in the beer hall celebrating with everyone else."

"Uh-huh, yeah. I can't leave my kids along too long. And please, call me Jeenie, not she-dragon," she growled.

"Very well, Jeenie, I could go get him if you want, but I can't go anywhere on my own because…you know what I'm known as around here," he said with his eyes to the floor.

"It's okay," she replied. "I only wanted to know where he was because I need someone to baby-sit Pyro and Dasha. I need a doctor to look at my vagina tomorrow." She was then overcome by a terrible, stinging pain in her lower regions. "Ow!" she said in agony, shaking her hips.

"I'm still waiting for Spyro and Cynder to return from the ceremony," Shigi informed her.

"See you later, troll," she said as she strutted away. Shigi shut the door softly behind her.

"Well, she was friendly. Weird!" he rolled his eyes. He then returned to his dirty dragon magazine. He first took off his pants and rubbed his penis in his fantasies as he was looking a female dragon showing off her needy, swollen sex, dripping wet with natural lube. He was rubbing his penis as it grew harder, when again there was a knock at the door. "Oh crap, I just want to jerk!" he mumbled angrily to himself as she got up to the open the door. Venus was standing at the threshold, smiling at him gleefully. "Hey, Venus," he greeted her excitedly. "Please come in, my big, skinny draggy."

Venus giggled as she stepped in. "Hey, Shigi, I saw my sister talking to you. Was she harassing you again? If she was, I can speak to her," she said, her voice serious.

Shigi shook his head. "No, she was just looking for Helix. She said she'll need a baby-sitter for Pyro and Dasha."

Venus immediately switched back to her typical, playful mood. She began to dance a little, shifting her feet on the floor. "Do you want to come to the ceremony? It's also party hour."

"But what of the fire dragons?" he asked, astonished at her suggestion.

"What about them, Shigi?" she replied, nuzzling him. When he did not do anything in return, she brought her head back. "What's wrong?"

"I'm an enemy of the dragon race, remember? I am known only as the widow-maker to them. I wouldn't be able to cope with them all staring at me." He reached out his hands and brought her muzzle close to his face. He kissed her tenderly on the snout.

"But, Shigi, you had a good time with me today."

"Ah, that's very true," he said with a nod as he rubbed her throat and tickled it. He kissed her again as she began to giggle and moan deeply. "The moles and cheetahs have forgiven me, though." He let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll come, my big, skinny draggy."

Venus screeched in excitement. She withdrew her head from him and jumped a few inches into the air. "We're going to have the best time! Party hour starts in ten minutes, so let's go."

She pressed her stomach to the floor and allowed Shigi to climb onto her back. She rose again and burst through the door, sprinting down the hallway, powered by sheer excitement. As they reached the end of the hallway towards the spiral stairs, Shigi began to notice that Venus was releasing her wings from their usual cooped-up position. Before he could say another word, she leaped off the edge of the hall and glided down to the ground floor.

"Holy shit! Venus, you're going to kill me! Please stop," he yelled, panicking.

Venus, however, was laughing out loud at her troll lover's suffering. When they landed, he was absolutely petrified. His breathing was heavy, a deep intake occurring between each of his words. "Don't…ever…do…that…again…okay?"

"Okay," she giggled.

The two headed down the second flight of stairs to the den just as any normal dragon would, one step at a time. As they entered the den, the lights on the walls were glowing a deep midnight purple, and most of the dragons had already left, having replaced by moles and cheetahs, who were dancing until they were dripping sweat and singing until their lungs were aflame. Spyro and Cynder were flying over the dancers when they noticed the odd couple. Cynder kept her eyes focused on the two for a long time, causing her to be unaware of where she was going and instead smack her head on a low beam.

"Owwww!" she yowled as she zoomed by.

"Holy shit, it's crazy hour instead of party hour!" Shigi exclaimed. "Is Cynder high?"

Venus chuckled. "No, just excited.

Shigi and Venus joined in the dancing. However, Shigi had no intention of getting off of her. A part of him was still deathly afraid of the cheetahs and the moles and how they might react to him. Cynder then flew by and stopped just before the couple, flapping her wings occasionally with powerful strokes to keep her from falling.

"Shigi, so you decided to join in on our fun?" she questioned with a smile.

"Yes, Cynder. I need a good time," he said to her.

The black she-dragon laughed, tossing her head back. "Eeeee!" she said as she flew away and joined Spyro in his flight around the entire den. The two did barrel rolls and summer salts, causing all the party-goers to cheer and whoop.

PAGE BREAK

Behind the stage, Helix was preparing for his gig while everyone else was still partying the night away. His cheetah maids dressed him in his typical attire and did his make-up just as usual—his goal was the same and ever: look sleep-deprived and dead. The cheetah maids sanded his horns until they were as smooth as polished stone and placed intricate golden rings over them.

When they had finished, Helix rose and stated, "alright, girls. I'm ready to make people wet themselves." He then ran out of the dressing room door, his heart pounding in anticipation.

PAGE BREAK

Back in the den itself, Cynder was dancing on the bar, attracting attention from the young fire-dragon males who were drinking there. Just as Cynder was about to unveil some moves she had picked up just a little earlier, the music stopped and the lights went out over the entire den, save for the stage, which was illuminated by bright yellow lights.

"What the hell's going on here?" Cynder asked, disappointed.

"It's Helix O' Van Sea," explained the mole bartender, "his show's 'posed to start very soon."

Spyro rushed over to his mate and helped her down from the bar. He sat her down on a stool and settled himself next to her, preparing himself to laugh himself shitless.

Shigi and Venus were together in a back corner. She was lying on her stomach while Shigi was still on her neck, as he was too scared to leave her.

The drums began to roll overhead. A deep voice emerged overhead of it. "Dragons, moles, cheetahs! I give you the king of standup comedy himself…Helix O'Van Sea!"

Helix emerged from the drapes on the stage and danced to the music playing overhead. He advanced towards the microphone and the music cut off. "Hey ladies and gentlefucks!" he said, smiling. The crowd cheered and applauded. One fire dragon piped up, his voice bathed in laughter, "hehe, he called me a gentle fuck."

"Welcome to the Avalar den. You know, everybody makes fun on these stripes on me. They say the stripes make me look like a queer. However, both of my sisters have them and so does my newborn niece. Whenever we get close, we get what's called the 'sibling bonus', which was gifted to us by the guardians at our birth. The only problem is that I had to watch my older sister give birth because she needed the strength. And you should have seen her opera house! It was gushing pink ooze, and looked like the cavity of a cooked chicken. Yuck!"

The audience cracked up.

"And did you people know that trolls are sexually attracted to dragons?" he continued. "It's so weird. I once saw a young female and a troll doing it missionary style."

Everyone laughed. Venus, on the other hand, was growing considered, and her mouth went agape as she knew that her brother would crack jokes about her and Shigi.

"I've got nothing against trolls, really," Helix said, as though hearing his sister's thoughts. "I wouldn't mind having a troll brother-in-law. I nearly killed my dragon brother-in-law because he wouldnt stop make jokes about my condition, 'you ain't got not brain," he would say. And I would reply, "you ain't got no dick.'" Helix sighed, shaking his head. "What my older sis saw in him, I shall never know." He then made humping motions with his hips, and even Venus and Shigi broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

Shigi noticed Venus's vulnerability and began to tickle her throat. Venus had to close her lips to keep from laughing ridiculously or moaning, or whatever other sounds may emerge from her lips.

"And I can't believe that the hero couple and that troll Shigi Hasethsmalvena—"he was cut off by the laughter of the audience. Before he was able to continue, he caught sight of Venus and Shigi. "Hey, everybody, let's welcome Shigi Hasethsmalvena!"

The mole working the spotlight located Shigi and Venus and shined the light directly on the two of them. Venus was about to stand when all in the den cheered at the troll formerly known as the Cloaked Widow-Maker. She smiled and proceeded onto the stage, her troll lover on her back still, and stood on her hind legs, spreading her wings at the crowd. Shigi, seated at her shoulders, waved.

"Now, sis," Helix continued, "you and this troll have down everything together since you first met, right?"

Venus giggled. "Yeah, and we've been doing it every chance we get. It's awesome!"

"I need her to take me places because the guardians don't let me out of my room alone," Shigi said as he rubbed her neck. He leaned forward and kissed her muzzle.

"Cynder told me that she let you ride her through the Dead Marshes," Helix said, his eyes wide. "Apparently, you were poking her with your pistol the whole time."

"Yeah," Shigi responded, a shameful blush & smile on his face. His expression gained a roar of laughter from the occupants of the den "but I wouldn't do Cynder. I know I'll always have you, Venus, won't I?" he kissed her neck, causing her to moan in pleasure.

Helix's eyes located Spyro and Cynder on their seats. "Hey! Let's welcome Spyro and Cynder, the heroes of Warfang themselves."

The two dragons took off from the bar and landed on the stage beside Venus and Shigi.

"Cynder," Helix said, eying her with a devilish look, "you told me that, when you were flying over the Ocean of Souls, you wanted to kill Shigi because he was poking you with his revolver?"

Cynder shrugged. "Or his trollhood. But, I took it was a compliment." She turned to Spyro, rubbing against him seductively. "Don't I have a nice body, Spyro?"

"Of course you do, my skinny, dark queen," he replied, licking her neck. The audience laughed hard at Cynder's out-right romancing.

"Alright you too, please stop," Helix said, raising his brow. "I don't want my member popping out of its hiding place. I'm ashamed of the size of it," he giggled.

"Yeah," Spyro nodded. "Mine's pretty small, but Cynder doesn't mind. And she likes to be on top."

The audience laughed, as Helix shoo'ed them off stage with a smile. "Okay, you four off the stage. I'm going to start cracking the sickest jokes you've ever heard in your life."

With that, Venus and Shigi returned to their corner and Spyro and Cynder to their barstools.

Helix then began to unravel several of his most precious jokes. He began with the ape joke to get the audience started, and then continued with some newer jokes.

"So, a boy walks into the kitchen and overhears his father say, 'fuck'." Helix took on a high-pitched voice. "'Daddy, what does fuck mean?' the boy asked. 'Stuffing,' his father replied. The father was having trouble stuffing a turkey, and he muttered, 'dick.' The boy heard this as well, and said, 'Dad, what does dick mean?' The father quickly responded, 'hat.' The boy walked into the bathroom and saw him mother putting on her make-up. She screwed up and said, 'shit.' The boy then asked, 'Mommy, what does shit mean?' His mother thought for a moment before she said, 'make-up.'

"The mother was taken over by pain between her legs, and gasped as she said, "Ah, my vagina.' The boy asked, 'What does vagina mean.' His mother quickly replied, 'coat.' Just then, the doorbell rang, as the neighbors were coming over for dinner. The boy answered the door and said as he opened it, 'Put your dick and vagina on the coat hanger and come inside.'

"The neighbors were astonished, and said, 'Where are your parents?' He smiled and said, 'Dad's fucking a turkey and Mom's putting shit on her face.''

The entire audience cracked up beyond their control. Cynder placed her hand over her mouth and laughed through her nose.

Helix was just getting started. "Alright, so, this little girl and her mother were walking in the park and they saw two teenagers have sex on a bench. The little girl pointed to them and asked what they were doing. The mother, embarrassed said, 'making cakes, dear!' as she led her daughter away. The following day, they went to the zoo and saw two monkeys doing guess what—sex. 'Mommy, what are—' before the girl could finish her question, the mother replied, again, 'making cakes, dear.' The next morning the little girl saw her mother in the kitchen and said with a smile, 'Mommy, you and Daddy were making cakes on the couch last night.' The mother reddened and replied, 'H-how do you know, dear?' 'Because I licked the icing off the cushions.'"

Again, the audience roared with laughter. After Spyro had regained control of himself, he turned to Cynder and said, "Come on, Cyn, I'm getting tired." He pulled her off of her seat and onto the floor.

The dark dragoness giggled in response. "Okay, let's go to sleep."

The two left the den and, as they were approached the spiral staircase, they spotted Venus with Shigi on her back leaving the temple via the large steps just across from the stairs.

"My god, what are they doing?" Spyro questioned, his eyes wide. "It's not safe to be outside the temple at night.

"Maybe they want a place for romance," replied Cynder. She pressed her head to his neck, nuzzling him affectionately. "Come on, Spyro, let's go sleep. I'll need you to keep me warm."

Spyro groaned. "But Shigi isn't allowed outside of the temple," he moaned as Cynder almost dragged him away.

PAGE BREAK

Shigi and Venus had left the temple to see the stars. Together, they headed to the top of the waterfall, which was only a minute from the cheetah village. There, Venus was relaxing on her side while Shigi was up against her needy, swollen sex, which was very hot and literally steaming. However, it kept him warm, as the nights of Avalar were quite near freezing. Venus wrapped her tail around him to keep him contained as both stared up at the sky, which was saturated with beautiful, dazzling stars.

Venus could scarcely keep her eyes open, her exhaustion plaguing her severely. She placed her tail down beside Shigi and kissed him softly on the neck. Shigi's unresponsiveness told her that he was far from joyful.

"Shigi, what's wrong?" she asked, eying him concernedly.

He shook his head. "It's nothing. Just…when are the dragons going to trust me?" he took a deep breath. "I led Spyro and Cynder to victory in the Dead Marshes, for the gods' sake. And they still think of my only as the Cloaked Widow-Maker."

"Ah, don't worry about them, my little blue-green stud," Venus told him, smiling. "They only think that a few good deeds are not enough to redeem someone of their former life of homicide. I know it wasn't your fault, Shigi. But that's what they think. And even though you did aid Spyro and Cynder in such an important quest, that doesn't change your past. Nothing will. You just have to do the best you can do."

"I cannot escape the fact that I was once the Cloaked Widow-Maker," he said, echoing his beloved's words. "I did so many things I am not proud of. I destroyed whole villages, I torched entire forests, I even gutted ape prisoners of war. Alive!" Shigi rose his arm to his eyes and sobbed.

"Cheer up, baby!" Venus pleaded, wishing she could rid him of his unhappiness. "Do you want to go back to my room? I'll get rum and ice cream, and then maybe we could fly to the roof of the temple. I know this great perch we can sit on and look at the entire valley." she rubbed his back comfortingly as she spoke. "It's beautiful, really."

Shigi removed his hand from his face and eyed her curiously. "But what of your older sister and brother?"

"What about them, baby?" she asked, pulling him up against her stomach. She covered him with her wing, wrapping him tightly against her whole being. "Tell me everything," she whispered into his ear before he kissed her on the snout.

Shigi pressed a hand against her chest, allowing her heartbeat to soothe his senses. "Do you know about the time when the trolls occupied the swamp where Spyro was born?" he asked softly.

"Yes, Shigi," she whispered in reply.

"Well, at the same time, they had also occupied the troll area of Veldin Marsh, where I used to live. I was so young at the time, and the apes were so cruel. They chose several of us children and handed us daggers. We were told to gut the prisoners of war. Some were young, a little older than myself at the time, others were old, some ill, and the others were as healthy as you or I." Tears began to slide from his eyes. He choked on his last couple words. "But most of them were just children. I-I couldn't bear it—"

"Shush, my little teal man," Venus said. With her tail, she rubbed his back comfortingly as she searched her mind for something she could say to comfort him. "Tell me, do you have any relatives you miss?"

Shigi sniffled. "My mother and two sisters. My sisters and I are triplets."

Venus giggled. "Oh, so you are one of three also? That's so cute. You and Helix could get along just fine."

"But your sister is the issue," he replied, his voice taking on an urgent tone. "She almost gutted me before."

"I'll talk to her," she reassured him, kissing his muzzle. "I'll make her see how great a guy you are."

A smile grew on the troll's face. "Thank you , Venus. The only one who has ever talked like this to me before was my mother. Gods, I miss her. She said I was the only warrior of the three of us—the only boy."

"Where do they live?" asked Venus.

"They live in the large troll colony on Dante's freezer," explained Shigi. "It's a fishing colony under the occupation of the kingdom. Queen Enola claimed she was from a long line of royal trolls. She said her ancestors once ruled over the entire realms, and that she had risen to power to regain her family's control." He groaned. "Damn it, I should have known better than to join the kingdom. But I gave into their propaganda. They promised that the empire would unite all the trolls against the allied races."

"But we didn't do anything, baby," she said, eying him malignantly.

Shigi shook his head. "I know. But it was the Queen. That bitch Queen Enola Carmeleon." He sniffed. "That bitchy-

Venus interrupted him my wiping the tears delicately from his face. "It's okay, baby." Her eyes sprang to life. "Hey, you know what?"

"What?"

"We could liberate that colony!" she said, her excitement overflowing. "Volteer was planning to destroy it, but with your inside intelligence, we could liberate them and they could join our side, and fight for us. We could save your family."

Shigi's mouth went agape. He was far too astonished to say anything for a few minutes. When he finally was able to make a sound, he nearly screeched, "I ate out a genius!" He kissed her hard on the lips.

Venus laughed, and the two separated. She came to her feet, and leaned forward so Shigi could get atop her. "Let's go get some ice cream and run from my room," she said, preparing her wings for flight.

"But what of your sister?" he asked. "She'll kill me."

Venus shook her head. "Don't worry. You can wait for me on the balcony, and then we'll go celebrate at the top of the temple." She twisted her head around so she could face him. A smile extended from ear to ear on her face.

"Okay, my big, steamy dragoness," he replied with a chuckle.

The dragoness took several steps back before darting forward and spreading her wings when the passed the cliff's edge. She flapped her wings laboriously to gain altitude, and glided the rest of the way to the temple. When they arrived at the balcony, Shigi hopped off, slightly dizzy from the ride.

"Wait here, Shigi," instructed Venus. "I'll go get rum and ice cream." She leaned forward and kissed him.

Heading into the main building, she proceeded to the room she shared with her siblings. In the half-light, she could see Jeenie curled up with her babies while Helix slept with his back to hers. Venus snuck past them on her tippy-toes towards the fridge. She was at the door's threshold, the rum and ice-cream in her forepaws, when she heard a whisper emerge from behind her.

"Hey sis." It was Helix. Venus released her breath, relaxing her shoulders. "You're going out with that troll again, aren't you?"

"Yes, Helix," Venus said, keeping her eyes focused in front of her. Her voice was low, and she spoke slowly, forming each word with the great care. "I think I can help him, brother. He was only following orders when shot Denji, you have to understand that. He needs me to keep him company. He says he's still considered a murderer, the Cloaked Widow-Maker."

Helix interrupted her, his voice a fair bit louder than hers. "It's okay, Venus. That troll deserves you, and you deserve him. Just don't become attached to him. I worry about you all the time. If he were to turn on us, even after all he has done, you wouldn't stand a chance against him."

"But he said I was a genius," Venus remarked. She was about to tell him of their escapade on the waterfall, but caught herself. "Oh, never mind."

"Wait, what? Sister, what?" he asked.

"Never mind, big brother," she said, shaking her head. "Just keep Jeenie warm and I'll keep Shigi out of your hair. I know you'll always have my back, and you need to know I've got yours."

With those final words, she departed from his sight. Helix smiled and fell asleep. He dreamed of a time when he was far younger—only eight-years-old, back when Jeenie was twelve, and Venus was still an infant.

PAGE BREAK

Jeenie and Helix were sleeping in the same room, pressed close to one other for warmth. His sister had her wings tightly around him, her arms encircling him further. The sun had still not risen, and the moon was quite high in the sky. Both Helix and his sister were caught in a deep sleep.

Suddenly, their shadow dragon father burst through the door, knocking them violently from their dreams. He was bobbing on his feet, his eyes wide with excitement.

"Helix, Jeenie," he said in a single breath. "Wake up. You're little sister has arrived. Come! Come!"

The two rose from the floor and followed their father into the sublevel of the temple, running down the stairs and tripping several times. The lower levels were scarcely lit, the only light coming from small torches lining the ancient walls. They caught sight of their mother lying on the floor in the far corner of the room. Fluorescent beams of purple light were reflecting off of the numerous crystals around her neck. Cheetah midwives were fussing over her and the newborn infant. She was no bigger than the paw of Helix's father. Both of her eyes were closed tightly shut.

"Come here, you two," their mother said with a smile. "Come and see your new sister."

The two took a deep breath and took several steps towards their mother and the child in her arms, both Helix and Jeenie curious and slightly timid. As they approached, Venus opened her eyes and gazed at her mother. She took a deep breath in through her nostrils and wagged her tail a little. She slowly rotated her head and faced her siblings.

Jeenie caught her attention first. Jeenie blinked and brought her face close to her sister. Venus sniffed her and licked her softly on the muzzle, causing her to giggle. "I'm your sister," she said slowly. "I'm your sister." Her voice was a high, as though the child would only understand her if she spoke in such a ridiculous tone.

Venus cocked her head to the left. "S-Sisa…sista," she attempted to answer.

Her attention was then caught by Helix, who was standing behind Jeenie. She leaned her head forward and attempted to free herself from her mother's grasp to investigate her brother.

Her mother laughed. "Aww, she wants to see her crazy brother."

"Don't make fun, mother!" Helix said, eying her maliciously. He cast his mother's comment from his mind and placed his own head near Venus's. As soon as he was in reach, Venus sniffed him and extended her tiny arms to hug his muzzle. Tears began to pool in his eyes as he stared into hers.

"Seriously?" Jeenie asked, smiling. "I think she really likes you Helix. She didn't even try to hug me."

"Brother," Helix said slowly. "I'm your brother. Buh-ruh-ther."

"Buh…Buh…," attempted Venus. "Buda, brada."

A tear slid down his cheek. "I'll always have your back, sister."

"Okay, you're doing well," a twenty-year-old Helix said to a twelve-year-old Venus. The two were relaxing atop of the temple. Venus, however, was pouting, as she was having difficulty gliding due to her awkward wings.

"You're flight's fine—pretty good, actually. But you need to learn how to glide. Gliding is just as important as flying because it uses less energy and will help you fly when there's strong winds and the like," Helix explained.

Venus nodded her head and took off into the air. She glided well for less than forty minutes, when she lost lift and began to fall.

Helix immediately took off the from the roof. "Venus!" he yelled as he dived downward to catch her in his arms. He managed to do just that, but could not lift himself as the weight made it impossible. He turned himself around in the air, positioning himself between himself and the ground. They crashed at an angle, skidding around fifteen feet on the grass before they finally came to a stop.

Venus, who had closed her eyes as soon as she felt Helix around her, opened her eyes and freed herself from his grasp. She settled next to him. Helix, however, was not as unharmed as she. He remained lying on the ground, his face crunched up in pain.

Venus noticed this and said urgently, "Brother! Helix!"

"I-I'm fine," he assured her. He took a deep breath in through his gritted teeth. "I'm fine, sis." He opened his eyes and smiled weakly at her. "I'll need a doctor though."

Tears streamed from Venus's eyes, as she hugged him hard and licked his neck. "I-I can't believe you took all this pain, for me. You didn't have to!"

He shook his head. "I'll always have your back, sis."

Before Venus could reply, several older dragons who had heard the thud and Helix's scream, rushed forward, pressing Venus away from her brother.

PAGE BREAK

Venus and Shigi were relaxing on the temple roof, staring at the stars in wonder as they spoke about Shigi's homeland.

"Did you know that you were my second?" Shigi asked. "But the woman back in Veldin didn't let me be in charge and on top."

Venus giggled. "I can understand that feeling."

She took him into her arms, pressing him tightly against her soft underbelly. "You were my first, Shigi. I lost my virginity that night in the council chamber."

Shigi's eyes widened. "Oh, if I had known, I would have made it worth it. I couldn't tell. I'm sorry I wasn't that good inside of you."

"You were great," she reassured him. "But I need to get laid a lot now, because I am in heat." She eyed him playfully. "Could you please help me downstairs?"

"Why, I have no idea what you mean, my big hot draggy," Shigi said.

Venus chucked. With the end of her tail, she began to slowly rub her gorgeous, pink, damp, shiny, Grand Canyon. With each pass, she opened it just a little further. Shigi immediately noticed this—her small, almost-virgin opera house leaking natural lube. She moaned in tender pleasure.

"Ah!" Shigi said, nodding. "I know what you mean, now." He removed his cloak rapidly, wriggling his torso to take if off faster. Venus moved to her back and stretched her legs, showing Shigi the damp, fleshy folds of her sex. It made wet, beautiful noises as she stretched.

"It's my turn first," she said. She reached a hand backwards and took a handful of left-over ice-cream. She placed it in her folds, making her yelp and moan from the cold. She rubbed it slowly inside her tunnel as Shigi walked to the end of her tail and climbed up it, hugging it tightly as though his life depended upon it.

His mouth watered when he made it to her sex. She licked inside of her folds. The very moment his lips contacted with her, her tail began to whip across the floor, and her back claws drew and withdrew repeatedly. She moaned in intense pleasure as he sucked on her fleshly clit, causing her to produce sugary lubricant from her tunnel, which he drank eagerly.

"Shigi!" she screamed in pleasure. "Lick all the ice cream up. Clean me."

He moved outward to the outer-folds of her sex, sucking the excess rum and raisin ice-cream eagerly. Shigi's throbbing hardon was being squeezed between his stomach and her tail.

"Shigi," she moaned. "My little man...mount me, please."

Shigi positioned himself for love making, but his action was brought to a sudden stop. He stare awestruck at his erect penis. It's head reached it chest, and it was around three inches thick.

"What the hell happened to my dick?" He asked, placing his hands on its head, which pulsed with each beat of his heart.

"It's my lube," Venus cracked up. "You drank it too often, and now you're part dragon!" she laughed uncontrollably, her hand on her muzzle

"Alright, you need to be taught a lesson," he yelled with a smile on his face. He then plunged his two-foot hardon into her treasure, eliciting a hard, pleasurable scream from his dragoness. Shigi moaned in pleasure, his eyes facing the stars.

Venus grew more aroused to the point at which her tail whipped violently left and right. She screamed, "Yes! Yes!" her words echoed through the entire valley, upsetting the silence of the night.

Both were nearing their climax, lube and pre-cum leaking down the sides of Venus's tail. Without warning, Venus screamed again, "Ahhh! Yes, yes!" she pointed her muzzle to the sky and shot a huge sphere of fire from her mouth and into the air, lighting the valley half-a-mile in all directions in that soft, worm glow. "Oops," she blushed.

Shigi smiled mischievously as he continued humping her. As Venus came nearer and nearer to her climax, she shot barrages of fire balls into the air, which rained down around the temple like a fountain.

A burning feeling grew in Shigi's pelvis as Venus's body melted with pleasure. Veins protruded from every inch of her body, her vagina literally steaming.

"Venus," he gasped. "I'm…cum!"

"Do it," she pleaded, "spray your troll seed inside me."

And so, Shigi shot his troll cum inside her, moaning her name loudly. His testicles deflated. Exhausted, as soon as he ceased his shooting, he collapsed to Venus side. His breathing was heavy, and he turned himself onto his back. Venus giggled and rose slowly to her feet. She hovered her head over him, her sex still gushing pink ooze and dripping all over the floor.

"Thank you, Venus," he said, rubbing her throat.

"No, thank you, my little man," she replied, licking his slightly hairy chest. "Hey, do you want to just look at the stars and curl up to keep warm? Or we could go inside—go our separate ways."

"Of course I'll stay here, my sexy slithering draggy." Venus curled up into a ball, pressing Shigi aginst her underbelly, away from her gushing vagina. She placed her wing around him to keep him warm from the near-freezing air.

He took a deep breath. "Venus?"

"Yes, Shigi?"

He licked his lips. "Do you enjoy my company? Do you have feelings for me? I-I don't' want to hurt your feelings, just so you know." He hesitated, drawing his eyes towards hers. "Are…are you just having sex with me as charity for my reputation?"

Venus did not even pause, she did not take a moment to even come up with his words. "Of course I enjoy spending time with you. Nobody else understands me but my brother, and nobody else needs a life-mate as bad as you do. All the other dragons say I'm too weird, and I have a crazy brother. They don't even want to be with me." She leaned forward and kissed him on his forehead. "That's why you were my first, and I wouldn't change that for the world."

Shigi's mouth went agape. "A-are…," he stuttered, "are you asking me—do you really want a troll for a husband?"

Venus nodded. "Yes, yes," she replied passionately. "I know you are a troll, but no one in this entire world is better for me than you are. Every second I spend with you is one I shall treasure forever. No one else in the entire world is more adventurous than you. No one was willing to guide Spyro and Cynder deep into enemy territory other than you. And I bet that you are willing to love me even though we are different species, because I love you." Her eyes sparkled just as bright as the stars. "Will you be my lifetime mate?"

Her heart was pounding violently in her chest, pulsing rapidly against her ribcage. Part of her knew what he would say, but the other was filled with doubt that he would be unable to accept her after all he had been through.

"Of course I will," he said softly. "Yes, my girl."

She screeched in excitement, wrapping her wings tightly around him.

Shigi gasped for air, as she was hugging him far too hard. "Venus," he wheezed, "I know you're excited, but you're smothering me!"

Venus relaxed her grip. "Sorry, Shigi," she chuckled. "Oh, and don't worry about my brother and sister. I'll explain to them. And I won't let Jeenie lay a claw on you."

"Everyone I've ever hurt has been someone uncle, parent, or child. Life is too precious for anyone to take away, everyone in this entire world is precious to someone. That's why we have to free the colony on Dante's Freezer. I cannot imagine how many are dying there every day," he looked up at Venus, his determination growing. "We'll save my mother and sisters, and everyone in the colony.

"Oh gods, I hope they're still alive," he whispered, cracking beneath the possibility of his entire family gone.

Venus nuzzled him in an effort to comfort him. "What do you mean? Of course they're okay."

Shigi shook his head. "There's no guarantee sweetheart. Do you know what they're doing to the peace-loving trolls there? They're taking all the food, all the clothes. The kitchen knives—spears! They take everything from the families and leave only a fish to feed all in the household for a week. And to make it all worse—"before he could finish his thought, his burst into tears.

"Sshh, Shigi, Shigi," Venus whispered, her voice sweet like honey. "Please, tell me everything. I can help you." She rubbed his back with her tail to calm him down.

It took the troll several minutes to form words in his mouth. When he did speak, he did so very slowly, each word pronounced with great care. "They force all healthy trolls over the age of twelve to fight. Very few of them survive, and the ones who do are turned into monsters by the drugs they place in the food. It's all that Den Vax's fault. I would be honored to removed him from the land of the living, that bastard!"

"Who is Den Vax?" questioned Venus.

"General Den Vax is the mastermind behind these attacks. He's also in charge of the colony on Dante's Freezer. He think he's safe there, but we'll show him, won't we?" he turned his wet eyes to Venus's.

"Of course we will,'" she assured him with a smile. "And the trolls there will remember our deed forever."

"We'll have more allies for our campaign against Queen Enola." Shigi kissed his dragoness hard on the muzzle. "Come, my big, hot dragoness, let's look at the stars for the rest of the night," he said, rubbing her throat.

And so, the two set about creating their own constellations in the stars. Among the most popular were a pussy, a penis, and at one point a puppy. They were in a contest over who could find the most elaborate constellation when Venus pointed a claw at the stars.

"That one looks like a troll zeppelin," she said playfully. Then, her eyes widened and her jaw seemed to loosen itself. "Wait, that is a troll zeppelin!" she screamed.

There was, in fact, a troll zeppelin high in the sky. Hundreds of paratroopers were dropping from it and landing in the woods close to the troll was armed with pistols and rifles. As soon as they landed in the forest, they unhitched themselves from their parachutes and sprinted toward the temple.

"Holy shit," exclaimed Shigi. He turned to Venus, his heart pounding. "Venus, I'll need my guns and bullets."

"Got it," she said, nodded. "We should wake the others."

"Ah, damn it," he swore. "We'll never wake up enough warriors in time. We need to distract them. We'll fly over head, and, with any luck, they'll open fire. And someone will hear the shots, and wake up the entire temple."

Venus nodded. "Alright, let's do it!"

"That's not what I meant!" she screeched. "I meant that we should fly over them and provoke them like you said."

"Oh, okay then." Venus jumped to her feet and Shigi hopped onto her back. She raced forward and leaped over the railing. They dove down close to the troll raiders and flew just several feet above the army. However, not one of the raiders noticed them.

"God damn it," Shigi said, slamming his first on Venus's shoulder. "Venus, circle back around. I'll drop grenades—wait, shit. We have to get my weapons and ammo, I'm useless like this! My stuff should be in Spyro and Cynder's room."

"Okay," Venus shouted. With that, she headed for the balcony of Spyro and Cynder's room. Shigi jumped off of her and onto the balcony when she was still several feet above it. He managed to land on his feet and rushed into their room, bursting through the door and wakening the two dragons in the process.

"What's going on?" Spyro questioned, snapping up from the floor.

"The trolls are raiding again! They are trying to dislodge us from the temple," Shigi explained breathlessly. "Come with me, we have to kill those bastards!"

"What?" Spyro asked, shocked. "Let's get them! Come on, Cyn."

"I'm with you, my big purple stud!" she replied, rising to her feet.

Shigi ran over to his room and retrieved his Molotov's, revolver, and fifty-caliber. He rushed back into the room and saw Spyro and Cynder making-out passionately.

"You two," he shouted. "Come on!"

Cynder broke away from Spyro. "Alright, let's do it."

"Not now, Cynder, didn't you hear?" Spyro asked, concerned. "There's a raid going on."

Cynder blushed. "That's not what I meant. I mean let's go—"

Spyro interrupted his life-mate's words. "Yeah, I know. I'm just joking, Cynder."

She slapped him on the shoulder, mumbling unintelligibly to herself. The two dragons and the troll hurried to the balcony where Venus was waiting. Shigi hopped onto her back and all four of them set off in formation towards the troll raiders. Spyro and Venus breathed hot flame over the trolls while Cynder used her shadow breath. Together, they created a gigantic hole in the raiding swarm. In retaliation, the trolls opened fire with their rifles and revolvers, but were unable to hit any of the dragons.

The hisses and snaps of the shots brought a smile to Venus's face. "Haha! What idiots. The whole temple will know they're here now." She said triumphantly.

They were circling back around for another pass, but this time they flew just ten feet above the raiders. Cynder spat her poison on several of the trolls, who were so tightly packed they passed the poison on to many more of their comrades.

"Ah!" one of them screamed in severe pain. "It burns, it burns! Get if off me."

"Make fun of my name now, you greedy pretenders," Shigi yelled at them as he flew away, laughing loudly.

The soldiers below who were unaffected by the poison shot their guns at the dragons. One bullet came uncomfortably close to Cynder's throat.

"Dammit," Shigi cursed. "It's too dangerous to be up in the air. We need to set up a perimeter at the temple's main doors," Shigi shouted.

"Excellent idea, Shigi," Cynder yelled, her skin crawling from the closeness of the bullets.

They headed directly for the temple's main doors and, to their surprise, found Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador waiting for them.

"We heard the gunfire," Volteer explained. "And don't' worry, we can take it from here."

"No!" Spyro yelled in reply. There are more raiders on the way. That couldn't be the last of them."

Behind the guardians emerged Helix and his older sister, their chests rapidly moving.

"By the ancestors!" Venus exclaimed. "Jeenie, Helix, what are you doing? You guys can't fight."

"No," Terrador said, diverting his eyes to the siblings. "Helix and Jeenie were born to defend us."

"Yes, sister," Helix explained, "when we are together, the three of us are stronger when we're together and our health and mana regenerate."

"I'll be fine as long as we stick together and stay close," shouted Jeenie. "Dasha and Pyro should be fine. Hunter's watching over them. I'm not letting the two of you fight alone! Let's do this."

Shigi nodded. "We shouldn't fly though, we're too easy targets. We have to set up a perimeter here. I would strongly recommend stationing troops on the rooftop just in case the trolls try to drop grunts from their zeppelin to flank us."

"Very good, excellent, stupendous idea, Shigi," rambled Volteer.

Shigi turned to face Helix. "Helix, you, Venus, Jeenie, and I will defend the main entrance. I'll go with you, I'll have a good shot from there with my semi-automatic."

"Right," Helix replied. "The other dragons need to protect their families. We should be able to hold them off on our own."

With that, they went their separate ways: Spyro, Cynder, and the guardians proceeded up the spiral staircase to the temple rooftop while Helix, his sisters, and Shigi went to defend the main entrance.

Jeenie positioned herself on the right side of the door way while her sister did the same at the left side and Helix behind the spiral staircase. Shigi jumped off of Venus's back and found himself a comfortable nook up the spiral stairs where he had a great view of the trolls.

The four warriors prepared themselves for the arrival of the trolls. The plan was to wait until the majority of the raiders were inside of the temple and then shut the door behind them, where they would be easy bait.

The trolls were rapidly approaching the doors. They stampeded straight through and into the temple, not one catching sight of the four warriors. They roared in bravery, completely unaware of what they were running into. Venus and Jeenie slammed the gigantic wooden doors shut, trapping the troll inside. The trolls immediately recognized what was going on and attempted to kill the two females. The sisters torched a portion of the raiders with their flames. Some of the sword-wielding trolls managed to knock Jeenie to the ground and clung to her neck. She attempted to fly back up into the air as they trolls drew they daggers. One of the trolls had his dagger positioned at her neck from where her hung from her muzzle. He was killed however, by a bullet to the torso. The second troll was aiming for her back, repeatedly stabbing her rock-hard scales with the dagger. A bullet came to his head and he fell immediately to the ground, dead.

Jeenie, astonished, looked around as found Shigi pointing his gun in her general direction. He pointed it upwards, reloaded it and bowed gracefully to her.

Helix emerged from behind the staircase and advanced to his sisters, cutting down a dozen or so trolls on his way. When he was close, small purple sparks crackled in the air around them as their stripes began to glow a bright purple.

When all the trolls were killed, the four resumed their positions, reopened the doors, and awaited the arrival of the second wave. The second wave was twice as large, and, as soon as they doors were shut behind them, Helix used his shadow breath and torched half of the trolls to death just by himself. He couldn't help but laugh when had finished, absolutely astonished by his great range.

Venus and Jeenie used their fire breath, which also had the same increase in range and power. All of the trolls were torched in a firestorm in the center of the room. The flames spun into a mad circle, gradually turning to a dark shade of purple.

"Holy shit!" yowled Helix when he ceased. "I really am a freak!"

"No, Helix," Jeenie giggled. "We are almost indestructible together, so we're all freaks."

Shigi, on the other hand, felt gooseflesh growing on his arms. "Why is it so quiet?" he asked, shouting.

Venus and Jeenie reopened the doors and found the remaining troll forces retreating into the woods as they were being assaulted and burned by the fire dragon warriors strafing them from above.

"Hah, look at those cowards run!" Shigi called.

"Of course they're running. They know they don't stand a chance, for now, at least," explained Helix.
