I built a house in Impiorum with Acelia's approval. Léon and I live together just how we were supposed to so many years ago. Necator stayed at the castle with his son and grandchildren. Not a day goes by I don't visit them or they don't visit me. I like this new era, it relaxes me. Léon is now a teacher at the academy and the older kids love him. They say he's a clown. He teaches them how to fight. Léon, when he was human, was great fighter. Now that's he's royal, he's a pro and a great teacher to both humans and those who aren't.
I teach history since I'm as old as time and maintain the incoming papers I receive. Rocco is one of the fighting instructors with Léon while Alyss comes with her twins showing them the school they will attend in two more years.
The kids are now three, hyperactive and a pain in my ass. Always jumping on my back asking me to scare off Demonia and Deus. I have to not only babysit them every four days a week, but I also have to be the understanding aunt because Alyss also teaches at my school. She teaches the middle age group, how to read and write. Acelia gladly joining her cousin in the lessons.
"Nico! Nena!" I growled out as I walked through the North Halls. I was only signing one document and now this happens. I lost the kids. "Kids! I'm going to be mad if you don't come out!" What sucks about having two royal dragons is that they grow fast, physically and mentally making me angry.
"Honey?" Léon called out from the arena and I turned around to glare at him and his laughing class. "Having fun?"
"No actually, our godchildren are literally two flying demons!" I shouted and heard laughter from my West Draco Virtutem. "I found my two little demons." I spread open my wings and flew up to the head of my dragon and frowned at the kids. "What have I said about climbing the dragons?"
"They're so warm though," Nena exaggerated. She's such a great faker!
"Auntie, we like getting up higher and higher!" Nicolai raised his arms up in the air to prove his point.
"I'll let you do whatever when you're much older." I threw them on my shoulders and flew down. Léon was still laughing and the twins ran over to him hugging his legs. "We're not having kids." I told Léon who laughed even harder. "You think that was a joke?"
"You love kids," Léon picked up the twins and grinned. "Why else would you build a giant school for them?" Léon pecked my lips before handing me the twins. "You'd make a great mama. Kids give auntie Shay a kiss to say sorry." The twins kissed my cheeks making me smile.
"Sorry," the twins said in unison.
"Get back to your work," I told Léon who walked back to the arena where his students were sparing hand-to-hand combat. "Do you guys want to help me teach?" I wiggled my eyebrows at the twins who nodded eagerly. Walking to the West building I heard the bell ring which meant a transition to your next class. My history class.
Setting the twins on the desk, Nicolai had an apple in his hand and Nena had 'smart' glasses on. I stood at the podium watching the duo as they took attendance of the class.
"Afternoon, Headmaster!" I got greetings from the class when the bell rung again.
"The kids are going to help me today, hope no one minds." I knew they didn't, history is somewhat boring if it's too long so having two troublemakers was a joy and helped the class get by quicker.
"Prince!" The girls all went crazy. "Princess!" The boys became wolves.
The twins loved the attention though. I know they were good kids, they loved helping and learning. Nicolai is of course stronger than Nena but Nena is a quicker learner and much more lenient than Nicolai who was a lot like the grandfather.
"Shay!" Alyss ran in during the middle of my historical mark on the world. "Someone has attacked Rocco!" Alyss shouted making the kids panic.
"Daddy!?" The twins shouted and my eyes narrowed. Setting the projection down, I handed the twins to Alyss. "Auntie Shay!"
Jumping out from the hallway window I landed perfectly on my feet and sprinted towards the scent of blood. Necator and Léon stood in front to Rocco who was bleeding out on the grass. Shoving all the student inside with the wind, I sent Rocco inside too. Necator and Léon are very capable men.
"Draconis Lunae," the hood came off from the figure and my eyes instantly met her mauve ones. Bo and Ruma's mother. Makena. "I have a favor to ask."
Bo and Ruma both appeared. Bo's lightning spread like wildfire aiming to attack Makena but I stopped it with the wind. Bo growled at me and Ruma looked ready to murder.
"I need you to kill Bo," Makena glared at Bo and I had my hand to her throat instantly. "Bo's a danger to this world Draconis Lunae, she's too powerful for her own good."
"That would mean I would kill a member of my family and that's just something I cannot do." I pinned her down to the ground, my hand still around her throat. "How are you alive?"
"I'm a Tribus woman, I can't die." Makena shot her hand to my neck and tightened her grip. Doing absolutely nothing to me. "Draconis Lunae, people are after the women who are a danger to this world. Now Nena Liana Shay Custos Regia is on that list too. You can't protect everyone. You have to choose between Nena, Bo, Acelia, Alyss, or Ruma. So who will it be?" Her skull crushed inward as he throat was pulled outward.
"Don't threaten my family," I stood up and turned to the people behind me. "You all will stay here and watch the school, I have unfinished business with someone." I told everyone.
"Shay?" Léon stared at me painfully.
"Sorry, just once more, I'll have to leave you all behind." I smiled at Léon who looked heart broken. "You are too great for the horrible Draconis Lunae."
"Auntie!" Alyss slammed her hands on the window of the school. Necator nodded at me. "No!!"
"I love you all very much!" I shouted to the school before turning my attention back to my precious mate. "I love you Léon." I kissed him whole heatedly.
"I love you so much more." Léon grabbed my hands kissing the backs.
"No!!" Rocco managed to break the doors down making me smile at how much he's grown. "Aunt Shay!" Rocco sprinted over but I knew I had to go.
Waving, my actual wings and tail came out surprising Rocco and stopping him momentarily. That's all the time I needed though, I felt my nature take over my sanity as I stared towards everything I loved and would devote my life to protect. Red fire consumed my body as I shifted completely allowing me to know my instincts and senses. Soon enough I was on two legs, my much too long and large wings spread out behind me and my tail being my support for balance and power. Necator bowed down to one knee and Léon accepted the one feather from my wings that I let fall down to him. Feathers all over my body covered the scales that were my last source of defense. My wings completely feathered, and my eyes a bloody red leaving the outline and pupil a black. Two horns sprouted from my head and spikes ran down my spine to my tail where my end was a sharp trident lethal to kill anyone instantly.
It all started with one.
Staring down at Léon he kissed the ash gray feather in his palm.
"It ends with one," he finished it for me.
"Shay!" Rocco shifted into his dragon form in an attempt to grab me but Necator tackled his son down.
Bye kiddo. Gaudete.
