Dragon Mind

14 (special chapter)

My mate walked into the room bare foot. Her dress a light blue almost silver. Dispute the fact that it wasn't a style I had even seen before it was beautiful. The front was shorter than the back going only to her mid thigh and the back was just to her knees. Her little quills that would one day be fins were stating to show. The five pups had taken up spots around her as she walked causing me and my brothers in arms to stand.

Her white hair was left to hang free, short as it was. This time there were no jewels or metal, just her. She walked over to the only open chair. The one that sat between me and her Father. Everyone had been sure to leave the seat open for my mate. Even if the seat should have held her mother, who oddly enough sat at the other end of the table with the youngest child. A young girl who by common people standards was the perfect lady. Her name was Danielle and I believe her to be seven given her height.

She walked close to me and then a shrill voice rang from the other end of the table."What in God's name do you think your wearing!" It was her mother. Instinct drove me to hit the woman, but the smirk on my mates face forced me to hold myself.

"A dress." There was a hint of something in her voice. I knew that sound, had heard it in my sleep. A slight hiss of warning barely there unless you knew to listen for it.

"No. Absolutely not! No daughter of mine will such a vile thing!" Her father and brother made quick work removing themselves from the table and I instantly went to back away myself. Her fins flexed her back seeming to grow bigger in her rage. And then I noticed they were. Growing that is. Larger and faster than they had since last night.

Mistress has had enough. She is queen. She will rule.

Who was that other voice? The pups would not have been able to speak to me but this was a single voice and it was dark in more ways than one.

He comes.
He's coming.
He has found his rider.
King.
He has chosen the chosen.
She will chose a name for him.
Must.
He has not chosen a name after all.

The dragons were speaking. All of them speaking. Who was he? Why were they going crazy? What could send the entire dragon race into and up roar? Even as I thought these things my mate had changed. She had changed in more ways than one. She moved faster than before aiming for her mother but the guards that stood close got between them. She however didn't seem to need that close. Because in the span of a second I saw her mouth open and two white tips flash from her it. A single stream of... What I could only describe as yellow red liquid shot out. Landing in the woman's eyes and face.

A scream of pain echoed through the hall this time followed by the roar of something outside.
