A Dragon's Heart

Don't wanna lose you again

Eyes blazing with fire Myra's glare pierced Krurm, who was standing a few feet away from her trembling like a leaf in the wind as he peered at her.

"You can tell your Dark Lord, I defeated him once, I'll defeat him again and I'll keep defeating him as long as I'm alive in this world. He will never get me in his troops," Myra growled trying her very best not to burn this insolent goblin too.

"He'll not take this kindly," Krurm stuttered earning Myra to narrow her eyes as she growled again and the shaking it cost, sent chilling shivers to run down Krurm's and remaining orcs' back.

"I don't care how he will take it!" Myra bellowed hitting her tail onto the ground with a loud thud causing the orcs to jump back. Her cavern like nostrils stirred as she took a deep inhale but froze in the middle of attempting to burn rest of them too when she caught a familiar scent. Lifting herself up while turning her long scaly neck Myra took another sniff bewildered expression forming on her face as a short, soft sounding growl escaped from her.

It couldn't be!

Spreading her wings Myra jumped into the air eager to find the owner of that comforting scent, forgetting the orcs and the goblin who glared at her gritting his teeth. Bringing bad news to his lord wasn't something he enjoyed doing.

Thorin rode fast across the plain when he saw movement on the night sky and ordered everyone to stop.

"What is it?" Balin asked as he halted his ram looking at Thorin worriedly.

A high pitch screech startled them making everyone to look up and saw an enormous cobalt blue dragon dive from the sky toward the dwarves.

Rams snorted while tossing their heads some of them rising to their hinder legs grumbling in fright.

"Easy," Fili tried to calm his ram as it kept turning in circles trying desperately flee from the spot as every instinct demanded it to run when a huge predator was approaching.

The dragon landed twenty feet away from them letting out a whimper. Myra's soft gaze met Thorin who was smiling from ear to ear when he saw his beloved.

Dismounting Thorin walked over to her as she lowered her head allowing Thorin to hugged her snout lovingly placing gentle kisses on top of it. A low purr came from Myra when she felt his touch on her again making her close her eyes and carefully settled to lie on the ground while Dwalin, Balin, Fili, and Kili approach the couple wide grins plastered on their faces.

"It's good to see you back to normal," Balin chuckled as he stepped beside her head laying his hand under her eye as it opened and big, shining electric blue eye settled on him, vertical pupil narrowing as Myra gazed Balin letting out a quiet growl of greeting.

"Aye, because we are facing a problem," Dwalin muttered stopping a couple of feet away earning Myra to shift his eyes on the warrior blinking in question.

"Dain and his troops are coming after you, they are planning on killing you," Fili explained making Myra frown and let out a huff that made Thorin chuckle against her snout.

"I know you think they can't kill you but Dain is very resourceful, he will find a way to do it and I'm not planning on waiting for that to happen. I lost you once, I won't lose you again," Thorin spoke finally letting go of her snout looking at Myra with determination.

Myra tilted her head as she was puzzled how exactly a dwarf was going to protect a dragon.

"And how you were planning on stopping him?" she asked lowly lifting her scaly brow feeling amused by the fact that Thorin was now fiercely protective of her.
