The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

8

Once Roman and Patton came back with arms full of sticks, Logan helped them put them in a tent shape so that they could light a fire and Virgil started casting spells all around the area, catching the guys attention every once in a while with bright flashes of purple.

"Roman's looking at you." Nyx said looking at him mischievously from where she was curled up. The dragon witch quickly shoot a look towards the other, catching the prince promptly looking away.

"I know." He answered turning around as he felt his cheeks heat up.

"you're blushing." She chuckled, making Virgil groan in annoyance and shoot her a glare, just causing her to laugh harder.

"Shut up!"

"Virgil? Are you done with the spells or do you need more time?" Came Logan's voice gaining the dragon witch's attention.

The guy gave a look around, observing the light purple hue that surrounded  them before deciding that one more protective spell couldn't hurt.

"Give me a second!" He said, before focusing on his energy one last time and sending out his last magic wave of the evening. The emerald green light from the spell quickly surrounded him before shooting outward to the outscore of the clearing. He chuckled when he heard all three of the humans hold their breath, feeling the energy pass right through them.

Virgil sighed, satisfied with his work, and went to sit beside the others who were still looking at him curiously.

"So, what do we do for the food? If we need to we can go pick some berries or I can see if Nyx can catch some animals for us-" The dragon witch started immediately getting cut off by Patton's loud gasp at the mention fo killing an animal.

"That won't be necessary." Stated Logan, pulling some fruit and some bags of cereal out of his backpack. "I know it's not much, but this will have to do for tonight."

They ate in silence before the three humans laid down on the soft moss around the fire and Virgil went to sleep on his dragon's back, like he usually did, and they all tried to fall asleep.

"Nyx?" The dragon witch said through the mind link, keeping his eyes closed and only receiving a groan as an answer.

"What is happening to me?" The concern in her owner's voice immediately made the dragon small ears immediately perk up, but it was the only sign of her being awake.

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong?" Virgil chuckled affectionately at the immediate worry in her voice.

"No I mean with Roman. I keep getting weird feelings about him, like I can't stop thinking about him and every time he talks to me my whole body becomes warm and fuzzy, and whenever he touches me my skin feels all tingly! Just being near him makes me feel weirdly safe and at peace with everything! Not to talk about how I feel the urge to protect him from literally everything!"  He stopped ranting, waiting for an answer, a reassurance that this was something completely normal, like being touch-starved or something of the sort.

For a few seconds, no answer came, making Virgil's worry increase. Finally Nyx sighed, breaking the silence.

"Ugh, shit." She started, making the dragon witch jump slightly and his eyebrows frown in worry and fear.

"What? Why? Is there something wrong?" He rushed out.

"I forgot to tell you about soulmates, haven't I?" The dragon witch stayed silent for a fraction of a second, confused.

"Soulmates?"

"Yes, Dragon witches have soulmates, someone they're destined to be with for the rest of their lives, someone they love endlessly and who loves them back the same way."

"And you forgot to tell me?! How can you forget something like that?!" Virgil exclaimed getting frustrated. He really couldn't believe she would forget about something of such importance.

"Bitch you've been hiding in this forest for the past 24 years, I thought the chances of you meeting your soulmates were as low as the ones of you being straight."

There were another few seconds of silence where both of them just tried to calm down, before Virgil finally broke it again.

"So, Roman is my soulmate?" He whispered, a small smile appearing on his face. He liked the thought of them being together, cuddling and kissing. He blushed at the thought.

"Since the universe seems to hate me, yes, he is. And I hate it." She answered grumpily, making Virgil laugh.

"Oh come on he isn't that-" He stop abruptly, as both of them heard the sound of someone walking closer to them.

They kept their eyes perfectly closed and stayed still, faking being asleep, and he waited for Nyx to tell him who it was and if they were a threat.

"It's just Logan." She finally informed him, before snickering. "This fucker really has the intention of touching me just because he thinks I'm asleep." She chuckled again, a wolfish grin appearing on her face. "Look how I make him shit his pants."

Virgil's eyebrows immediately shot up, alarmed.

"Nyx I swear to god, don't you dare do anything." He warned, but he knew there was no way his bitch of a dragon was going to listen.

"Oh, I'm gonna do it. Three, two-"

"I wouldn't touch her if I were you. Neither of us are asleep and she is still not very fond of you for the way you treated me earlier today." The dragon witch's eyes shot open and immediately went to meet the nerd's surprised ones.

"Ugh, you're so boring." Nyx grumbled, making smoke come out of her nose and opening her eyes, immediately zeroing on Logan, making him jump back in fright.

"And you're a bitch, to each their own."

"Fuck you."
