Dancing for You (Jenivue and Wiki234)

[JenivueGrimm]

Over the vast years, her tale had been twisted unfavorably. Human kind had forgotten what dragons were really like. As kingdoms fell and rose again, her tale had quickly made her a prisoner.

You see, years ago, she was the princess to a booming kingdom. Like every kingdom, they resided in the territory of a great dragon. They made daily offerings of gold and good to show their appreciation for the land. Dragons ruled and controlled nearly every inch of territory in the world. When humans started settling down and creating villages and kingdoms, they had to get permission from the lands residing dragon. It was a standard and normal fact of life. Over the years the dragons acquired vast amounts of wealth. However, she had never been drawn to his wealth. Their relationship had started and was fostered by their shared love of dancing.

Every year, their kingdom had hosted a festival to celebrate the day they had gotten permission to reside in the dragons lands. Of course the guest of honor the dragon had always been invited and welcomed. Ever since she was a little girl, she had danced at the festival. At first people had found it cute to watch her clumsily follow along with the other beautiful dancers. Then she blossomed into an elegant jewel. After every dance she would take her place with her family next to the dragon. Eventually, love bloomed between the two and she abandoned her place on the throne to be with him. However, her kingdom had fallen and the story of the princess who had been taken prisoner of her heart, turned into her being the prisoner of the dragon. It didn't bother her that much though. He had woven her life to exist as long as his own did. Her home was with him and in his bed. She wouldn't have it any other way. However, every once in a while, there was one small annoyance.

"Dragon! I have come to challenge you to save the life of the princess you keep locked away and your bounties of riches.", the brave, foolish knight shouted. Iris barely contained the sigh of aggravation. He looked so shiny. His armor was decorated with medals and various trinkets of honor. Bored, her eyes cast to the side where other pieces of armor and trinkets were. Better had come, better and from further lands. This fight would be over quickly.

He didn't stand a chance against her love. Once it was done and his body was nothing but ashes, she looked over to her love and said,"Another foolish knight drawn in by that stupid rumor. How did it even turn out that way in the first place?" She stood and tucked her short ebony hair behind her ear. Then she continued as she maneuvered the mountains of gold and riches,"Though I think that one was more focused on the riches. Still, one would think that to go after a being who has been around since before the age of man would be a suicide mission... Are you alright, my dearest?" Finally, she had found a path safely down to the floor with the help of keeping herself stable using him. Once she was on the floor she ran her hand along his body as she walked in front of him as she asked,"Are you alright, my dearest? He didn't hard you with that sword did he?" Another dragon slayer, still, a few times they had come with weapons that could actually pierce his scales. It had scared her badly the first time it had happened. Even now she could still see the few scars on his body from those fights.​

Zephryx that which is born from the anger of the land....the name well known and feared rightly so by anyone who had come to his land, his home, and his grave. Born from the spark of the land during a time before even humans came about, as the land was born with fire,rock, and ashes so too did he rise eventually becoming it's guardian and protector. Countless battles fought between armies, countless destruction both himself and them have caused for the sake of protecting his home against the worthless humans. He would have rather see them all burn or kill each other if anything as they had no place to be in the existence of gods, referring to himself and his species as the rulers of ultimately everything of course.

As times went on more and more humans had come and settled to his lands, and more and more this changed him. But not to fuel his hatred and destruction toward them but for a chance to change from all the senseless deaths and even get something out of it as he eventually did through the ages with his now endless riches and wealth as any dragon would be proud of.

As yet another kingdom rose and fell a new one always took its place accept this time he had a reason to care more about this kingdom than anything else. They were a people he never knew he could have living peacefully in his lands. They were all very respectful to a degree he never knew existed, seeing them as almost a family until the day just like the countless he had seen, the kingdom had fallen and with it everything he had grown to love as well, his only solution above all else protecting the love that he had never had before, the girl who had danced with such spirit and grace for him alone.

As things started to settle down at least, he had become mostly dormant yet he also had to show his fury countless more times even more remembering his pasts with the kingdom's accept rather than whole armies it was but "those" ones who thought they could match the might and power of dragons all by themselves, the knights. A few times he himself has seen them as even worthier opponents but in the end it was all the same of them failing to kill him. As the dragon lay on his riches, he had left his love to do whatever she wanted. Hearing a familiar voice he opened his eyes seeing it was time for yet another fight with these annoying humans. As she walked over to him, zephryx focused on her for a second shaking his head lightly as he stood up, spread his wings and gave a loud roar.

Iris hummed in contentment at his response as she leaned herself more into his side. Then she stepped away and walked over to one of her favorite spots. The knight wasn't alone though. Within a couple of minutes a group of well armed soldiers rushed in. She settled herself down and watched the clearly fearful men. At times like these, she really found it hard to believe that they were human. They raised their spears and the two archers took aim. It was obvious that they actually intended to fight to the end. Still it was hard for her to even believe that anyone would go against a dragon. They were well known for their knowledge and regality. Her own kingdom had revered him so passionately that still she found it hard to see these men actually doing this.

Seeing them better as he rose to show off his large size as as his somewhat strange form, his eyes started to glow red with fury as yet another roar echoed through the room. Slowly floating up a bit into the air he wasted no time to charge his attack, wings taking a new form as they extended out like tree branches as orbs of green started to appear at the top,middle, and bottom of either side of his wings. "Leave at once!!!" He started waiting for an answer, seeing if they were to attack he would waste no time at all to destroying them. This was the only moment he would give them to run as Zephryx glanced back for a moment to his princess then back to the knights.
