Glory's POV
Deathbringer had just asked me out! What is going on. I felt this overwhelming weight on my back telling me to say yes. Another weight on my shoulders was telling me scream no. I wanted to unleash hell on him and love all at once. This is pure torture.
I was screaming inside! Everything seemed so wrong and so perfectly right. No, no,no ,no ,no,no this cannot be happening. I need to distract him from the question itself. That way he won't remember that he ever asked me it.
Only one thing came to mind... but it was a bit out of my comfort zone and a bit extreme. Ok just count to three. It had just occurred to me that I had been staring there jaw dropped for thirty seconds. One, two, three!
I jumped at him and kissed his charming, shitty mouth. I nimbly wrapped my arms around his neck as he made a surprised noise with his nose. He let out a small whimper of pleasure. It was so odd. It felt so different. It wasn't like when that sleazy rainwing kissed me. Death bringer didn't cease to kiss me back.
He strong grasp was overpowering. His robust claws were slightly but effectively grabbing my waist. His tongue was as corny as his pick up lines. It swerved through my mouth and almost made me moan. This was special. It was almost romantic.
After a minute or two, he pushed me away for a second holding my shoulder tightly. His brown eyes seemed to be twice as big. He bit his lip as he seemed to be more aroused than ever. " What are you doing?" I asked innocently. He smirked at me once more! That was annoying.
" I'm just looking at you. You are beautiful Glory. I hope you know that." I blushed as my scales brightened their rosy pink shade. After our moment of heat, I had forgotten my goal, but it soon came back to me. GLORY! Stop it! You accomplished , he forgot! Now go back to the throne room before everyone gets worried!
" I do know that. But, thank you anyway. Come on, lets go back to the throne room." Deathbringer looked back at me with his confused adorable eyes. He didn't move a muscle. I raised my eye brows in surprise.
" Aren't you coming?" His adorable, innocent face soon became a smirk of provocativeness. " So now you want me to come?" I had just realized that I asked that out loud. I answered firmly, " Well only if you want to."
" That's what I though."
Deathbringer's POV
Glory was electric. She was a beaming and bouncing ball of energy that never ceased to amaze me. She was beautiful, sarcastic, fascinating, strong, funny, smart, cute, and did I mention beautiful. She was just perfect for me. In every way.
In an oh so confusing way I felt something for her. Something that would make me fly to my death just to keep her safe. Something that makes me look at her non stop. Something that made me fall for her.
" Glory, Want to play a game. The throne room is still a couple minutes away." She tried to ignore me, but my charm was too powerful to resist. " What game?" I could hear the exasperation in her voice, but she wanted to play. That I could see in her eyes.
" Its simple. Its kind of like tag. Expect..." I ran into her. She screamed lightly out of surprise. " You're it!" I yelled loud enough for mudwings to here. " Hey! You cheater!" I laughed slightly and flew as fast as I could toward the throne room.
Suddenly I felt Glory's soft scales rub against my tail. " You're it lover boy!" I gave my virtuous cute look at her, but once again she raced away from me. Her tail shipping and turning in all directions.
I realized I would have a better chance of catching her if I stayed out of her sight. She wouldn't have a chance of wining if I used my assassin tricks on her. Thinking like an assassin was really my best tactic. She wouldn't expect it and it would refresh my spy like nature.
I swooped down below her wings and hid behind a ongoing bush. I still followed but hidden in shadows. I remember what this feels like. Your target not knowing you are only a few feet away. It is like hunting, but better. When you catch them the surprised look on their face gives you knowledge that you have complete control on if they live or die.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks I watched her from behind the bushes. The sky seemed to get grey as I saw Glory make her sad, confused face. Awww. It makes me want to cry watching her all confused. " Deathbringer? Death bringer, are you there?" She searched for me only for a second, before realizing what my tactic was.
" I know what you are doing Deathbringer. It won't work!" It's cute that you think that, I thought to myself. Before she could even begin to fly away I swooped out and grabbed her. My paws gripped her pelvis tightly and my head banged against her sleek stomach.
" Ah!" She was surprise, but to be honest so was I. We landed on a platform by accident. Laughing endlessly. Until I realized, I was on top of her. It was kind of awkward at first. But I as I stared int her eyes something pulled me to kiss her. So I leaned in, but alas she kept me up and away with both her paws on my shoulders.
" Whats wrong?" I asked concerned at her not making up her mind. She seemed conflicted with either kissing me or pushing me away. I knew Glory was a little hesitant about me, but i really did think she wanted to be with me.
" Deathbringer?" I looked straight into her beautiful eyes and tried to resist my urge to kiss her. Just hearing her say my name was intoxicating. " Yes, love." I was only teasing... Actually I really wasn't. She chuckled with her soothing voice.
" Do you-" I interrupted her while grasping her paws to her ground. She grunted out of surprise, but didn't stop me. My snout was gently pressed up against hers as I said quickly, " Wait. Me first." She nodded quickly breathing very heavily.
" Do you want to hang out with me tonight?" I could see her trying to say no, but my charm and handsomeness was just to overwhelming. " Ok... Just don't come to the throne room today. My advisors will fricken kill you if you show up. Now get off me!"
My sneer of dazzlingness and courageousness lifted me up. I let out my talon to help her up, but she discounted my kind action and walked away. " I'll see you tonight love?" Those words aghast even me. I wasn't sure why I kept calling her that, but it was a good pet name.
" At the coast?" I nodded slightly while bitting my lip. "See you at sun down lover boy." She flew off gracefully into her throne room. Late as all ways. And just the way I liked her.
Glory's POV
Deathbringer. The one and only, unique, annoying, and cute Deathbringer. How I wanted to crush his snout with my claws... but in the same time crush his mouth with my own. His very existence was a big confusing ball tied in my heart.
" Queen Glory!" called Splash. He was one of the oldest and wisest advisor rain wings in all of the rainforest. I found him very useful in descision making. As I landed gracefully in the newly built throne room, Splash walked with me toward my throne.
" Today isn't very busy. You will probably be off a bit before sundown. Only some issues we need to deal with today." Splash held his papyrus paper jotting down important things and being responsible as always.
He continued, "Surprisingly only about a dozen dragons came with requests today. Second, we fixed the nightwing's platform. It no longer shakes every time a nightwing lands on it. Oh and lastly, I had found a suitable mate for you."
I widened my eyes at the amazingness of his vocation. Not only was he doing everything well, but at the speed of light. " What?! Already?" I wasn't sure about anything yet. About if I wanted to mate, or if I wanted to have eggs yet.
I wasn't sure I wanted to marry a nightwing or... if I wanted to be with Deathbringer. " Yes. It was surprisingly easy. I went though the Nightwing village last night. Most of them are actually quite nice and VERY smart. I found a Nightwing a little bit older than you. About the age of your body guard, Deathbringer."
I felt a sudden wave of happiness as he said Deathbringer's name. " His name is Mighty. I found him very strong, caring, intelligent, and he seems to think you are quite beautiful. Remember him? He came here a few fortnights ago asking for a better view of the sun set."
He seems amazing, but not as good as... " He seemed amazing. I think you will like him. If you do I can organize the wedding." I was just like, " What? Wait, wait, wait, wait! You are not organizing a wedding. I haven't even met him. Tell me more about him. Are there any other candidates?" He coughed and said,
" Well no. He was the most perfect one I found. Respectful, funny, smart, handsome, not as much as me, but .. you get the point. He is also of very high profile in the Nightwing community so mating with him will give you the most authority over them. Remember your majesty, though your feelings are important, but the tribe's success is the most important thing. Right?
He was right, but deep down something felt wrong. It won't be so bad. I will at least get to meet him and maybe he will be amazing and wonderful. Maybe I'll fall in love with him and we will have dragonets together. Maybe he will love me too. Then I'll have a husband, children, a happy tribe, and most importantly somewhere i belong.
" Right. Tell him to come over by noon-day sun. That way I can get to meet him and see if you picked a suitable mate for me. If you haven't I'll find someone else. If you have then good job." I tried to ignore the obvious and loud issue in my head, but I just had to to get through the day.
The first of the dozen dragons who had come to complain was a little nightwing would reminded me of starlight immensely. " Hello your majesty," He bowed very politely and stumbled back up. Maybe he got injured in the volcano and still has the injury. Or maybe he is just clumsy. He continued,
" Excuse my leg, I got injured the other day. Um... I have a small request." I nodded and waited sitting comfortably on my throne. How it felt nice to have it. " Would it possible for Nightwings to marry rain wings. Or mate, or date. Just be with rain wings?"
I was endeared by his young and entirely in love state of mind. He reminded me not only of starflight, but of sunny as well. " Of course you may. Marry your rainwing love, but if you do have eggs, keep them safe and don't ever let go ok?" He had the biggest smile I'd ever seen sprawled across his juvenile face.
" THANK YOU!" He sprouted up into the sky and back into the village. Slash wrote down my new made rule and nodded at me for making the right decision. The next one was a nightwing dragoness who looked a bit tired.
She bowed very politely and began speaking, " Hello your majesty, I am Moonwatcher's mother." I remember Moon. She was Kinkajou's friend. She went off to find that Ice wing's brother. " Yes, I know Moon." She nodded slightly and seemed very uncomfortable as that other raining did.
" You don't have to be uncomfortable. I am not as terrifying as other night wings make me up to be." I made her laugh somewhat. " Yes, my queen. I am only here to ask if you know where Moon is. Do you? I worry about her." Sadly, I had no clue. I felt sorry for her. Not knowing where your six year old child might be can be unnerving, but how could I know what that felt like?
For so long I had thought of having dragonets, but I still had so many doubts. In myself mostly. I wanted to be a mother, but I just didn't think I'd end up a good one. " I'm sorry, but I do not know. If you wish I can send a messenger to Jade Moutain." The hope building up in her pupils diminished as the words escaped my mouth. Her head drooped down, but she still nodded.
" I will do so." I signaled Jambu to get on it. Next was seven rain wings and three night wings. Their problems were routine, nothing special. I was surprisingly done very quickly. But just when I thought I had time for myself...
"Queen Glory!" It was mid-day exactly and Splash was guiding a nightwing toward the throne room. " Queen Glory, I have inquired Mighty to come here and meet you." He landed carefully onto the platform with Mighty right behind him.
He was very large, and muscular. Not as much as Deathbringer, but still quite tall and broad. His eyes were a very light caramel color, unlike Deathbringer's who were a darker brown. His legs were quite slim and edgy, but his snout was rounded and curvaceous.
I was very attracted to him, but I didn't know him yet. I nodded at Splash and flew towards them. Mighty bowed respectfully as Splash said he would. " My queen, may I say what an honor this is to finally meet you. Finally? Didn't Splash just tell you yesterday you could possibly be my mate?
" Thank you Mighty, but just call me Glory. I don't want you to call me my queen every single time you address me." I joked, but he took it quite seriously. " Yes, yes of course... Glory." Death bringer wouldn't have done that. He would have laughed and hit on me... What the hell am I thinking?! STOP THINKING OF DEATHBRINGER!
" Well, before I leave, Glory may I have a word?" Splash gently grabbed my arm and led me to the behind the trees. " Glory, you should know something about him. Mighty is Battlewinner's only son." my eyes seemed to pop out of my head. What!? Greatness has a brother!? Battle winner was the previous queen of the night wings and Greatness was her heir. I never knew she had a brother though!
" What!?" I yelled. " Shhh! Yes I was aware that you would say that, but just know that the Nightwings respect him more than anyone. So please, for the love of god pick him." What about Deat- Oh who cares about him!
" If you have dragonets with him, the nightwings may finally be part of the tribe as rain wings are." He saw me being a bit sad so as a good elder he tried comforting me. " I know you and Deathbringer have something special, but if your tribe is the most important thing... please pick Mighty. Additionally, most night wings aren't very warmed up to Deathbringer. Most think he is a traitor."
His wing brushed up against mine to show he cared about me, which was actually kind of sweet. " Thank you Splash. You've given me a lot to think about and I will consider everything in that stans.
I came back out with Splash who flew off into the canopy after seeing Mighty. " Glory I just want to say if you don't like me or anything you can always send me back it won't hurt me at all." He was caring and I kind of liked that.
" No silly! I have to get to meet you before I can hate you." His laugh was bruiting and very alluring. " Well, Glory, before you get to hating me, do you want to go and have some fruit?" It had taken almost four years for Deathbringer to ask me out, but it took Mighty about four minutes
" Of course I would." He very elegantly spread his wings and led me to a secluded area beneath the trees. " This is where my sister used to take me to train when we first got here, but now it just seems all the more beautiful. Additionally fruit grows endlessly here!"
He was so cute and enthusiastic. Kind of like a big strong guy with the soul of a fluffy sloth. Kind of like Clay. " So do like it?" " Yeah. It is great." I lied down in the center of the lush and beautiful place. He hovered over me as i opened my eyes from stretching.
" You are really pretty by the way." he made me laugh with his random and flattering comments. All he did was look at world as a little dragonet would. He was a mix of Clay and Sunny in the body of a nightwing. " Thank you Mighty. You aren't bad yourself."
" Haha." He sounded so manly it was kind of making me blush. My scales became a purple pink missed with a blackish tone. " Lie down with me." I whispered. He obliged and laid next to me. It was very friendly. He didn't flirt much, but I wanted him to.
Hours later we still spoke of wonderful things like flowers, fruit, fighting, scrolls, rain wings, night wings, and love. He was speaking very wisely for an eleven year old,
" I just think that love is very oversold. You don't love every single detail about your mate. I mean there are some things like imperfections. Maybe they are too clingy or a bit smug, but its those imperfections that just make you love them more. I think that is what true love is. Loving someone so much that their imperfections just seem cute. Don't you?"
I thought of his speech and then of Deathbringer. Mighty was right. I didn't know Mighty well enough, but although he was very attractive I didn't love him yet. " Yes I know exactly what you mean..." I've felt this before. I know what it is now. I can't believe I just noticed, but I think I am in love with Deathbringer...
I know it is a bit short, but there will be more parts. Stay tuned. Comment for things I need to fix and things you find cool. Also any other couples? Ok... bye
