The Dragons Mark

Chapter 7: Love

                                        As soon as Teal reached a deep sleep a dream started. She was in a room like Xerus nest but it wasn't theirs. This space was different, there were no pillars in the space it was open and drafty. Part of the wall was open with a few cracks in the stonework. The cracks were where mortar had broken away and let the stones separate until a gap big enough to fit an arm through was present. Outside it was daylight with a bright blue sky and white puffy clouds. The bright day of the dream opened up and intensified then was quickly overwhelmed with a pitch blackness that hid the features of the room before they could be discerned. Teal was expecting it too be a nightmare as usual but then a gentle voice broke through the darkness. "Are you safe?"

                                         "What, where are you..." Teal squinted into the darkness and searched for the source of the voice, the voice was familiar, she new that voice because the first time she heard it her whole body had ignited in waves of pleasure.

                                        "Right here" A dragon about half the size of Xerus emerged from the darkness in front of her. She was an array of reds swirled with a glittery silver white. She was long and thin like Xerus but had shorter limbs and more frills up and down her body.

                                       Teal watched in awe as she moved around her like a glistening metallic liquid "You're beautiful" Teal's heart danced she was never one to be attracted to women but she was open minded enough to know it wasn't a big deal if you were. She didn't have any issues with whom someone chose to love and it bugged her when people where treated differently simply because of love. For this reason she was oblivious to her own attraction to Nyla, it was not something she thought about to much, it just was there, another emotion to acknowledge and then ignore.

                                         "Thank you" the dragon smiled then morphed into Nyala. Teal gasped, the movement was fluid like smoke changing form, it was not and forceful and sudden like when Xerus morphed. She watch as she circled her then settled in in front of Teal a few steps back with a smile. Nyala approached her slowly then seductively kissed her. The feel of her lips made her body heat up, her heart race.

                                          Teal snapped awake "what was that?" her thoughts raced; she had never been attracted to females before but with how it felt to meet her in person this should be no surprise. Maybe this was a dragon thing, maybe this was an ability or skill. Teal's mind started to draw all the wrong conclusions "Xerus!" She screamed, her mind wondering if she was in danger, did dragons do this to someone before they ate them.

                                        In the nest area Teal heard a Yelp then a thump and a thwack before his human form stumbled into the room and rushed up the stairs. "What's wrong..." he panted.

                                         "I..." her heart was racing and that made Xerus nervous. Teal watched as he scanned the room his eyes wishing for someone or something to beat up. "I just had a weird dream."

                                          He glared at her "it had better be more than that" he rubbed his forehead "I morphed as soon as you yelled, fell out of the nest ran into one of those damn columns!"
