The Seven Realms

The Rule of King Lupin

Lupin's mind raced, he was doubtful he'd ever be a good ruler, his crowning was just moments away, he was about to walk down the isle and become King of the dragons, but was it what he really wanted? he knew he couldn't leave the dragon's without a ruler, but being a King? he didn't want to become his father, but he didn't want to be a coward and prove what his father said as he died as true, he would succeed as ruler maybe not in the same was as his father, but by his rules, and by his subjects rules, he wanted to rule with the people, not against them as his father did, he inhaled, walking along the isle with all his subjects, knights, friends, what he had left of his family, his half brother stood now redeemed to good, Aeden stood at the the end awaiting him, she was to crown him, it was an honor  he didn't want to receive not yet anyway, he exhaled, "Do you promise as sole heir to the throne of Dragons, you will rule a fair and just, non prejudice rule, do you promise here in front of all your kingdom and those from another, to not burden them as your father did with unnecessary anger and hatred, do you Lupin Tobias Atmantius Alexander Lance Dimitri Serpentine the third esquire, promise to rule this land with your mind and heart, you sword and fire, protecting the realms as dragons were meant to do, since the beginning" "I-I" he looked around at all the anticipating faces, the room swayed, he heard the words his father spoke, "you will never rule successfully" over and over it drove him crazy, then darkness, quietness, whispers, Andesite's voice, filled with worry, what happened? was this death? darkness all around, yet you hear the voices of those who matter to you the most but never see there faces an eternal hell, or was it something less dramatic. 

Lupin jerked awake, he was lying in his bed, he hadn't been in this room for years, it was his childhood room, he rubbed his ring on his hand, he wasn't quite aware nor could he understand how he got here, "Lupin" he didn't respond, he heard his name and recognized the voice but he was to stunned to reply, " lucerna" he shuddered his real name, it meant candle, no one had called him that since he was a boy, not since his mother...tears streaked down his face, he cursed,  "Lucerna?!" "Andesite" he breathed now realizing who was calling him, "Lucerna, your awake, I-I was worried" he wrapped his arms around her bringing her into his embrace, they kissed tenderly, he had to be gentle, he loved her so much, he had no idea if he could control himself when they finally let all there guards down, "you fainted, we decided, that maybe your not ready?" he stopped kissing her neck, she sat on his lap in a provocative way, "I'm sorr-" she put a finger on his mouth, "I knew it was too soon, I was waiting for you to realize it yourself, are you ok? it couldn't have been easy coming back here" "its not, but I have you" "and I have you" they kissed slowly leaning back onto the bed together, he pulled his shirt of, he pulled her dress of her small frame, she unbuttoned his jeans before, he pulled them off, "in advance I'm sorry" she looked at him, she was confused, "you have nothing to be-Oh, OH!" she bit his shoulder, gripping his chest intensely while they continued having sex, "oh! OH! OH!" they stopped out of breath, they lay naked under the sheets, "I love you" Andesite spoke "I love you most" he kissed her forehead as they lay together, he held her, she loved the warm feeling of his body against hers.
