how it all began

The picture I'm using for the top of this chapter isn't a picture I own just a picture I found on google images to show an idea of what her father looks like in human form

-*WARNING*-

this chapter both includes an implied sexual scene and a potential child abuse trigger no violence was done in this story  

it all began with a young village woman, just barely an adult. she was tall, pale, and beautiful a  long-legged ginger with eyes as green as the emeralds in his horde. He had been stalking her for a while from the shadows as if she were his prey. when he finally got the courage to talk to her it was small things here and there just idle conversation in passing. if only she had known the effort he put in to be in the right place at the right time, he devoted his time to get closer to her. soon they were spending time together she too had her secrets. she believed he was the son of a noble and hoped to marry rich, so when one night things got hot and heavy neither saw a reason to stop.

when she started showing signs of pregnancy her parents demanded he marries her. he was so blind to her ulterior motives that he gladly married her, convincing her parents that he was a foreigner and would take her back to his home after the baby was born. her family and she were treated like royalty from his horde he'd been gathering for thousands of years.

 he was still young for a dragon though he was at least a few thousand years old. in his human form, he only looked to be in his mid-twenties. he stood at a towering six foot eight with caramel skin and piercing blue eyes. he was easily the most handsome man in any of the surrounding kingdoms. even in his dragon form he was one of the most majestic having the lightest blue scales and wings that could span larger than some large villages.

Sooner than he had realized his baby girl was coming into this world and nobody understood. why he insisted on no one but himself being in the room during his little girl's birth. they soon found out when she entered this world with light blue skin, violet eyes slit like a snake and the tiniest of fangs. 

her mother screamed in fear this wasn't her child but a demon that had grown inside her. Drayce had to take the baby from his wife for fear she'd kill his little girl. when she tried to hurt her the protective nature of his dragon shown through his human form. she starred in fear of the eyes that now shown back at her ones that matched the baby's in his arms.

 he knew what would come next, the angry mob with pitchforks and torches. he'd been discovered once before in his youth while trying to protect his baby sister, mobs never ended good for dragon children. never taking his eyes off his wife he slipped his baby into a basket of linens and slipped out through a window. only once he was out of sight did she realize what was happening and scream for help. he was long gone before anyone could catch him, he carried that tiny basket pinched between his claws so very delicately all the way to his home high in the mountains.

he named her Maeve because of how entrancing her eyes were even at birth that and it was a name his wife had hated cause of something to do with a girl she grew up with. 

That's the story of how I came to be and of why since I came to live in this cave I've never left. That's not where this story ends though, this story is about how one human changed my life forever.
