Feary Wars

Mistral twisted, and as his tail whipped around as he 'felt' his tail he turned, and did what the child in him wanted to do. Catching his tail in his mouth he ignored the laughing leo as he straightened a little to listen to his lessons on fighting.Even though he still was looking at his tail like he wanted to bite it. Mistral followed faysol into the air, and while not crashing, it wasn't the smooth graceful being that he usually was, looking like a drunken bumblebee as he moved through the air. Leo snickered pressing his face against faysol's neck as he watched the other draco,"Its very odd seeing him like this. Were you like this?All cute and stumbling?"He teased looking at maria, amused that the woman was watching mistral."Think you like your dragon?"He teased.
 
Fay laughed a little as he watched his brother catch his tail. "don't feel bad Mistral, all Dragons chase their tails.. their just such tantalizing toys." he admitted eying up his own tail before chuckling as he watched his brother fly. "i was worse, Mistral is almost a natural, being that he has taken some of my talent with him when he absorbed my Dragon. when i first started i could not only not get off the ground, but i landed on my back most of the time." he admitted with a small snicker. "i spent three years crashing, father was worried there was something wrong with my instincts, turns out i had week ligaments." he admitted. "a simple surgery and i was back to crashing for another year but at least i was in the air." he admitted blinking at Maria who's eyes where completely fixed on mistral, but stranger still... she had smoke curling out her nose, and there was no cigarette in sight. "...Maria?" Fay asked cautiously. "Maria..." she growled, Maria never growled, her eyes following Mistral intently, like a predator eying up a potential meal, or mate. it was the way most draconis looked when eyeing up potential males for breeding season.
 
"Aww poor fay."Leo said smiling a little as he looked at his dragon, looking amused.Laughing softly as mistral did dips and dives, all in the sake of chasing his own tail.No longer the world weary, hardened assasin, e was a dragon that had discovered he had a tail he could chase. Leo looked at Maria startled, staring."Maria...?"Leo asked taping leo on the shoulder."Leo. Get us on the ground, something's wrng."He said looking so worried about his friend and wondering if they could get mistral on teh ground without making him panic.
 
Fay chuckled a little as he watched his brother chasing his tail. "i used to do that so much i'd get dizzy." he admitted laughing a little before nodding at the order to land, flaring his wings and landing effortlessly on the ground, looking up at his brother and letting off a roar to get the others attention. before gently lifting Maria off of his back and carefully settling her on the ground, backing away from her as she snarled at him smoke spilling down her mouth as she fell onto all fours and stretched, feathery wings bursting from her back, Fay gasping in astonishment. "my god.... she's..." but one of them had not been born in centuries, had not been born since the last Great War between Dragon kin. "a Kithril..." he whispered softly as she unleashed a heavy Roar that filled the air, making the very earth tremble.

stories of Kithril where told to young dragons, and in this case also a young elemental. they where thought to have all died off after the Last Kithril King, they where the most powerful creature in the Draconis realms, overpowering even the furry Imperials. they had feathers and fur instead of scales, and magic so powerful that they could heal their own sleek bodies seconds after an injury. they where the righters of wrong, and the protectors of the weak and harmed. they had statues of the Kithril Dragons all over Draconis, commemorating their amazing strength, nobility, and good deeds. Maria snarled again and tossed her head back, unleashing another massive roar as she finished her transformation, standing almost five feet taller than Fay on all fours she rose onto her hind legs and spit blue flames into the air, the earth trembling with her power.

"...how can she be a Draconis?" Fay asked shocked. "she is of Earth, no Draconis can be born outside of the Draconis Realms... it is impossible!" he complained looking at Leo. "she was born here was she not? a human father!?" what no one knew, what Maria's father had never told a soul but Maria herself... was that she was adopted. he had found her laying on his lawn, wailing and crying, and had taken her in to be his only daughter. Maria panted a little, looking stunned as she fleshed wings and tail, stretching and squirming as she felt her new body, her new power, rolling in the dirt like a cat on catnip, reveling in such a primal strength.
 
Mistral growled as he looked down at his brother, looking annoyed that he was being summoned back to the ground. Growling as he landed, shifting back to human form even as maria shifted. Staring at maria, because there was nothing to say to this. The shock went bone deep as he watched maria growing wings.Staring at the kithril, he had no idea what to say, no idea how to figure out this."What in the world..."He stuttered, sounding so confused, so weirded out that he had no idea what to say what was going on.Swallowing hard as he sighed looking at maria, hesitating as he walked closer, reaching out to touch her shoulder,"Mria?"He muttered trying to find the woman in the dragon.

Leo looked amazed nodding a little, "She does. And a human mother.Both alive."HE said looking at faysol before wincing as mistral reached out to touch the kithril."Should you stop him from touching her?"He asked, worried about what would happen when storm lord and kithril touched.Looking slightly amused at the sight of the kithril rolling around like a cat ,but the worry for his friend was more then the amusement.
 
Maria was purring happily as she wallowed in the dirt, Fay shaking his head. "she's fine." he promised Leo. "first turns are... traumatic, but the dragon is usually so enthralled with their new bodies that they're almost completely harmless." he admitted looking amused. "most change as prepubescents though, between the ages of ten and thirteen." he admitted watching Mistral touch Maria, the Kithril turning and looking at Mistral with large blue eyes before running her tongue along his face, and shoving her nose into his gut, growling playfully as she spread her wings wide before she took notice of her tail, snarling as she pounced at it, racing around and around in a circle as she tried to get to her tail, Fay carefully moving Mistral out of harms way, chuckling a little as he tilted his head. "this is very interesting... we must have a word with her parents.. clearly something is amiss here..." he grumbled a little as he watched Maria resume rubbing herself all over the dirt again. "Maria!" Fay growled nudging the woman suddenly. "you must calm yourself now." he ordered, calmly talking her out of her Dragon High and watching as the sanity returned to her eyes, blinking at all of them.

"what's happening?" she asked looking confused as she studied her paws and her wings. "it feels SO good.." she purred, sounding almost stoned, Fay smiling a little. "i know it does Maria but you are leaking Power everywhere." he admitted. "you will draw unwanted attention, you must get a hold of yourself." he ordered calmly, the woman nodding a she closed her eyes and gently nuzzled Mistral. "i would like to turn back now." she muttered softly and Fay nodded, careful, carefully talking her, and himself back into human form, smiling at her as she covered her face with her hands. "i knew i was adopted but...." that would be shocking news for Leo to hear. "you where adopted? i do not know this term..." Fay admitted, looking hesitant. "what is adopted?"
 
Mistral yelped as he was pushed, growling as he hit the floor with a thud,grumbling when fay dragged him away. Tilting his head to look at faysol he smiled watching maria."We'll go when she changes back."mistral said trying to stay calm even though he was really worried."She'll be fine."Leo said even if he was looking worried himself, laughing softly at the sight of maria chewing on her tail. Wondering if she would be okay. "Maybe you should go talk to her parents. I could stay here with her."Mistral said as he leaned against maria's side, looking at his brother.Relaxing fully when she changed back, sallowing hard as he wrapped his arms around maria, pressing a kiss to her head.

"Adopted is that her parents aren't really her parents."Leo said frowning, looking put out."You never told me you were adopted."He said smiling softly as he looked at the other. Mistral stroked maria's hair, leaning back to look at her."How do you feel?"he asked touching her slowly,softly, as if he couldn't stop touching her.And he couldn't,even if he wasnt aware of her, he was claiming her as his mate,and she couldn't let her go,even for a insant.
 
Fay nodded a little. "she really will be fine, no Draconis has ever suffered ill from a transformation." he promised smiling a little as he watched her chew on herself, tasting her own flesh and fur and feather, not biting, just feeling with teeth and tongue before shivering as she changed back, smiling sleepily at Mistral and then to Leo. "i never saw any point to... they raised me as their own... they are my real parents, my blood parents abandoned me, that's what mother always told me." she admitted Fay hesitating. "it's not uncommon for Draconis parents to abandon their children in other realms if there is danger." he admitted softly. "say, if someone wanted their family dead, or there was a war, they will travel to other realms, and leave their babies in safe places where they will be found quickly, so that they will be safe." Maria looked startled. "so... i was abandoned... to be protected?" "that is one theory... another is... well our meat is very succulent when we are young.. poachers from other realms often steal us from our cradles and sold to wealthy meat eating creatures for our... rare taste." he admitted shaking his head. "My mother does nothing to try and stop this, in fact she sometimes helps." he admitted sounding utterly disgusted and furious.

"that's horrible!" Maria gasped in, well horror. "so i was either abandoned for my own safety, or i was kidnapped and abandoned when the deal went bad... not great choices..." she admitted scowling a little, Fay shaking his head. "i cannot get over how very much like my mother she looks..." he admitted scowling darkly. "but there is no way that mother ever had a sibling, it would have been recorded..." she snuggled into Mistral, smiling at him. "i'm ok... just tired..." her stomach growled loudly. "and hungry..." she muttered snuggling into him. "will you make me something to eat? i don't think i can stand long enough to do it myself and Leo's cooking tastes bad." that was a lie, but she was enjoying having all of Mistral's attention.
 
Mistral frowned shaking his head."But no one came for her.Someone should have known to come looking for her when she was old enough."Mistral pointed out trying to figure out why no one would have come. Maybe in the queen's slaughter she had managed to kill maria's real parents. Paling a little as he considered that.Maybe he had kiilled her parents. Swallowing hard as he sighed softly."But she wasn't hurt FAy, it wouldn't be the poachers. She would have only lived long enough to be fattened up."Mistral pointed out to his brother, his disgust at the habits of the poachers well hidden.

Leo frowned looking at faysol."Are you sure it would have been recorded?Here, if a royal brat isn't wanted, their birth is slid aside, not acknowledged, and the child's taken in by someone else."LEo said. Mistral frowned a little before nodding."That is how it is for most of the world's. The defected one is cast aside."he said calmly, not about to admit to thinking he was one of the defective children that had been abandoned to die."Of course I'll get you something to eat."Mistral said smiling as he picked her up, heading inside to cook for her. "I do not!I can cook!"Leo said sulking at maria's insult to his cooking.
 
Fay hesitated then. "if they died, no one would have known to come... my mother had millions slaughtered in the uprising..." he admitted shaking his head. "if the poachers had nearly been caught they would have ditched her unharmed..." Maria made a small sound and Fay had the decency to blush. "i am sorry Maria..." he looked at Leo. "you don't understand, children are... what's the word i'm looking for? their an honor where i'm from. they are only abandoned if there i a great danger. otherwise the sickly, and the second born twins are culled, killed for their mercy." he explained. "i was a twin." he admitted simply. "the second born, i would have been killed if my brother hadn't been so sickly." he admitted calmly. "Twins are a curse. one brings good fortune, the other brings bad. normally the first born gives the good and the second gives bad but." he shrugged his shoulders. "i'm an exception i suppose." he admitted with a small grin before he shook his head, looking over at Leo. "something isn't right." he admitted once Mistral and Maria where out of hearing distance. "there is a record of my mother having a sibling. a second born twin but she was culled, my grandfather made very certain of that." he admitted hesitating a little. "he was sick in the head, like my mother... he ate the body... he told us the story many times, to scare us..." he admitted swallowing thickly. "so why does Maria look so very much like my mother?"
 
"Are you sure your the good one?"Mistral said snickering a little as he looked at his brother, smirking slightly.Leo smiled a little wrapping a arm around faysol, pressing a kiss to his lover's head looking thoughtful. Mistral looked slightly sick before swallowing."What if grandmother hadn't?Her husband was sick enough that she might have pulled a fast one and gave her away."He said his grandmother....well faysol's grandmother had been kind to him, more then anyone else had ever been, except for faysol.He could see the woman being kind enough to try and send their daughter away to save her life."He might have scared us, if he thought that's what he was eating."He said swallowing hard, because he could think about what the woman had tried to trick her husband.
 
Fay snorted a little. "pretty damn sure." he admitted shaking his head a little before pausing, looking startled. "you mean... what if it wasn't his daughter he ate? but another Dragonet?" he asked blinking at his brother, Maria sleeping calmly now, too tired from her first time change to stay awake. lucky her. "it's possible, all Dragon babies look almost exactly alike... if another Dragonet was killed... she could have substituted her baby for the already dead one, and had her sent away... if that's true... then Maria is..." then Maria was Xerzith's good twin. "oh god i hope Mother never finds out about this... she'll hunt down Maria much more furiously than she would ever hunt me down... i'm a Gem Dragon... but she's a Kithril! it doesn't make sense though the first born is ALWAYS the more pow..." his eyes widened. "...Grandmother must have hidden the first born... she must have known somehow... i wish i knew what Grandmother did with that diary of hers... i bet she wrote something in it... i..." he shook his head. "we need to look at her butt..." he stated suddenly, well aware that he was going to get yelled at. he dropped his pants and showed his ass to them, there was a birthmark like a spear or an arrow head. "all ancient bloodlines have Birthmarks. if she has the same as mine, then we are from the same bloodline..." there was no need to look, Leo had seen that mark often, she was always wagging her ass at him. "we need to speak with her parents..." they would know something Fay was sure... they had to know something...
 
Mistral nodded a little."Yes.Grandmother wouldn't have given a healthy dragonet over...but maybe a sick one that was dying, or dead already already."He said swallowing hard."Well then its a good thing I'm here.Not only can I steal your shape, but I can do hers to.She might not be able to fight,but I can."He growled because he didn't want to consider what his queen would do."....her butt!Faysol!"Mistral growled even as leo laughed at mistral outrage. Leo swallowed his laughter before nodding,"Its there. She has one."He said snickering because he saw it all the time."We'll go.Me and you.Well....no, we all better go."Leo said nodding towards the car."Mistral and maria bprobably wouldn't be safe here alone, and you need someone to protect you in case some assassin finds you."
 
Fay nodded a little. "Grandmother tricked Grandfather... mother's twin never died... grandmother sent her away so she would be safe." he smirked at his brother. "i can fight... i just... never had the chance to before." he admitted. "i was pretty sheltered..." he admitted shaking his head a little. "and i'm not so sure you can steal her form, Kithril's are supposed to be protected by very ancient magic." he admitted smirking a little at his brothers fury. "yes, her butt, i'll let you see mine if you show me hers." he teased smacking his own ass before looking at Leo. "she has it then..." he swallowed hard. "then she, is my aunt." he stated staring at her, astonished. "i can't beleive it, my Grandmother used to tell my mother that if she didn't behave she'd find someone to replace her..." he admitted with a smirk. "none of us ever thought she was being literal." he admitted before shaking his head. "we will go to Maria's home after she has rested, first time changes are traumatic and weaken the body and soul, she needs to sleep."
 
"what do you mean was?You're still sheltered, princess."Mistral growled the storm above there heads forming even as thunder rumbled in the once clear sky. Siling slightly as he got them all to the house making a face at faysol's ass slap."That's just weird. Just shut up."He growled looking amusedly annoyed, torn between the two emotions."Well, maybe we need to replace your mother.She's soooo not behaving now."He pointed out carrying maria into the bedroom, tucking her into bed before returning to talk to the other two. Needing to know what they were planning, because it worried him to think about what would happen now that they knew.
 
Fay smirked a little. "ok so i am still a little sheltered. it's not MY fault." he complained simply. Xerzith, in an effort to make Fay docile and stupid, often kept him locked up in the castle where no one could see him, tell him things, train him. Fay's only companion for most of his life was Mistral. and when Mistral was banished, Fay's only companions where one night whores and nobility looking for a good lay. "i don't think Maria could survive Draconis... we'd have to teach her our ways first, if she insults someone, queen or not she'll get eaten." Fay warned Mistral, clearly thinking that making her replace Xerzith was not a good idea. and yet, at the same time... it was. Fay was certain Maria would make a great queen, and Mistral a wonderful Second King. i Draconis the king and queen where there by birthright, but they did not have to be married, it was like a job. the King was one CEO and the Queen was another. they both ran the place but if one died, then someone replaced them... only, there was no king, Xerzith had killed everyone who had tried to take the other half of the throne, so everyone had stopped trying. it was supposed to be fay's throne now, but Fay knew better. "if we could teach Maria, and she was willing... we could overthrow mother..." Fay muttered looking at Mistral. "... but, i don't think she'll want to leave her home... what will we do if she refuses? i'm not going to make her do anything that she doesn't want to do..."
 
"I know.But its still cute."Mistral pointed it out, amused because the bo yhad had no one to compared to except for him, a storm lord that was barely tolerated on the best of days, and hated on the worst for being the queen's assasin."We will."Mistral said sounding annoyed at the idea of maria taking over for xerzith, but the queen needed replaced, and their family had been ruling for thousands of years, the draconis would accept someone of her bloodline,even if they had been raised human, easier then someone else. And with faysol and him guarding her, she'd be safe,but nt until xerzith was gne. Because as soon as they set their sights on the throne, the queen was going to throw everything in existance at them in the effort to make sure they wouldn't survive to help her to the throne."If she's not...well then, we'll deal with it if we have to. Our world can survive without the queen, even if they have to chose a new queen and king. It doesn't have to be here, it'd just be easier to get them to accept your bloodline then it would be someone else."Mistral sighed wrapping his arms around faysol."Don't go inviting trouble until we knw what she'll say."
 
Fay snorted but smirked, looking pleased. "i am cute aren't i?" he asked smirking a little before sighing a little as he shook his head and set his hand on his brothers. "we won't make her do anything she doesn't want to do." he promised softly. "if she doesn't want to get involved, then we will hide her until the danger is over." he promised. "if she doesn't want to be involved, then we simply tell no one that she exists." he promised smiling at his brother. "the Draconis realms will be fine if they have to find a new bloodline to be the kings and queens, the Ancient magics will make sure a new line is formed." he promised. "this isn't the first time a bloodline has decided not to take the throne, or been ended prematurely without heirs." he admitted. "no matter what, we will stay with Leo and Maria, we won't abandon them." he promised Mistral, smiling at his brother. "you've never had a chance to be happy... i won't let my bitch of a mother ruin that for you."
 
"You are.In that idiot sort of way."Mistral said snickering a little, before relaxing when he realized that he wouldn't have to break trust with maria, and force her to do anything. Because he would protect her, even if it meant seriously fighting with faysol, and glad that his brother wasn't going to make him make the choice of who to protect. even as a lifetime of training demanded that he slay his girl, he was struggling, struggling so hard to not protect onl her, but also faysol.because he wouldn't be able to do anything but protect them.Even when it pained him to think about, he woudl protect them,even from himself."Good.I don't want to go anywhere."He said smiling a little, even if he was nervous about being around him, because it scared him to think about it, because he didn't want to hurt them."If...you'll protect her from me wont you?"He asked letting his desperation show because he needed faysol to be able to protect her, even if his brother had to slap him around with enough magic to do serious harm, he needd to know they were safe."And you'll protect yourself to."
 
Fay chuckled a little and shook his head a little as he watched his brother smiling as he admitted to not wanting to go anywhere. he stared at Mistral for a long moment and then nodded, setting his hand on his brothers shoulder. "i will not let you hurt Maria." he promised smiling at Mistral. "i won't let you hurt anyone who doesn't deserve hurting." he promised kissing Mistral's forehead. "now go lay Maria down and cuddle with her, she's probobly going to be upset and confused when she wakes up." he warned smiling at Mistral as he shooed the other away. and he was right, when she woke, four hours later she immediately started to cry, wail more like, upset and afraid of what was happening to her. normal people did not turn into Dragons after all.
 
Mistral siled, relaxing at the words, because he trusted faysol enough to know the other would be able to protect them. that faysol even despite their differences, would protect maria frm him if he couldn't help himself. "Hey hey hey, I'm here."Mistral said pouncing on maria, wrapping his arms around her, gently stroking her hair, trying to calm her down."Shh love shhhh,I have you. I can take care of you.This is okay."he muttered trying to calm her because he had no idea how to get her calm.

"Should we go see her?"Leo said worriedly, laying back in the bed, absently stroking faysol's back, his heart aching at the sound of maria so upset. He so wanted to help her, he needed to help her,but didn't know how.
 
Maria sobbed into Mistral's chest, clinging to him, just crying herself out before wiping her tears off on his shirt. "t..thank you." she muttered softly. "i... i don't... understand... what's happening..." she admitted through her hiccups. "i... turned... into... a m..monster..." she whimpered distraught and confused. "i t... turned into a m...monster..." she didn't realize that what she had turned into was a Dragon, she couldn't' even remember really, what had happened. "i d..don't want to be a m..monster..."

Fay blinked as he heard Maria starting to sob and he shook his head. "no, let Mistral comfort her." he muttered softly. "it is his place as her mate to comfort her." he admitted swallowing thickly. "i don't think she'd appreciate our assistance right now anyway..." he admitted shaking his head as he pressed his forehead against his lovers. "she will calm down and learn the joy of a dragon as all young first shifters do." he promised smiling at his lover. "we will keep her safe, this i promise."
 
Mistral was quiet, absentlyl stroking her hair before he said the first thing that came to mind."you got my shirt snotty."He said before laughing softly."Not a monster.A dragon, like faysol. Like me. Your not a monster, you're beautiful."He muttered nuzzling him,"Remember faysol?He's a beautiful dragon. So am I. So are you.You're not a monster, just a dragon."He muttered coaxing, gently, trying to calm her down as he gently stroked her hair.

Leo sighed softly,"You forgot the most obvious reason for not helping. Mistral'd crispy critter me before I got through the door."he said stealing a kiss smiling softly as he held the other close, because he needed the comfort, to stop from going and bothering his friend despite the warning alarms going off in his head that said to not boher the other two."Me you and mistral....such a odd combonation of men to keep one little dragon safe."he said teasing a little, nuzzling him before sighing softly. Not wanting to worry the other man, trying to keep the other calm.
 
Maria giggled a little at his complained of getting his shirt nasty, looking up at him. "i'm sure your shirt will be fine, i'll wash it." she promised sniffling a little as she listened to him. "i'm a dragon?" she asked, sounding so confused, so very confused. "but i'm a human, i have to be..." she muttered closing her eyes. "i'm a human..." she swallowed thickly and opened them again. "...if i'm a dragon... does that mean i have to leave?" she asked, sounding very much like she did not want to do that. "i don't want to leave... i want to stay here with all of my freinds and my family..." she sniffled. "i don't want to go...."

Fay smirked a little. "that's just common sense." he teased shaking his head a little as he wrapped his arms around his lover, kissing his forehead smiling a little. "and it's not such a strange combination. i've seen weirder." he admitted with a small grin as he nuzzled the others neck, looking playful. "we should have sex, your too tense." he teased with a small chuckle as he ran his hand along the others back. "or if you'd rather i could give you a back rub hmm?"
 
"You're a dragon, that was adopted here."He muttered pressing his lips against thegirls forehead before shaking his head, growling ever so softly."No. We're not going to make you leave. If fact, we want to stay here. Its safer for us all to live here then it is to be anywhere else."He muttered rstroking her hair, trying to keep her from freaking out, not wanting to see what would happen if she freaked to much.

"Hmmm a backrub that ends in sex."He said already relaxing under his lover's hands as he stroked his back, a very touch oriented person, he relaxed wasier with touching and sense, closing his eyes as he smiled."Hmmm are you sure you have common sense?"He teased shifting to pull him dwn for a kiss before leaning back, nudging him a little."Get rubbing. I want to have sex sometime."He teased a little.
