Here is your guaranteed chapter for the week. I want to thank rouge and mejinzs for the awesome proofread. I should be back to a somewhat normal schedule. just to let you know the people who followed my blog got this chapter this morning.
Now without further ado, Chapter 34
————————Fafnir’s POV———————————–
“To think that the other two died so quickly,” I thought to myself. As I looked at the mangled body of the supposed knight, I could hear his incoherent moaning.
“Quiet!” I snapped at what was left of the knight. A bolt of lightning shot from one of my horns and hit the knight in the chest, killing him.
“Well darn,” I grumbled as I looked at the charred corpse. I used my breath weapon to destroy the remains before heading back to my lair. I landed on my little precipice, concerned over what might have happened to my human.
“Daddy’s back!” I heard ring through the lair as Azazel ran from her cavern and hugged my fore leg.
“Hello, Azazel.” I lovingly replied, “How was lunch?”
“It was ok, big sis made some mashed potatoes, but they weren’t as good as Uncle Therin’s. He makes the best ones.” she said as she hugged my leg.
“Is that so? Maybe you should have your Big-Sister learn from Uncle Therin.” I replied as I picked her up with my tail and placed her on my back.
“Hey, Lilith!” I shouted as I headed towards the back of the main cavern.
“What?” she replied.
“I am going on a little trip to… visit the human king and I need you to watch Azazel; do you need anything while I’m out?” I asked as I entered her tastefully decorated cavern.
“If you could pick up a door for the main cavern that would be nice,” she sarcastically replied.
“The moment that you can get a door big enough, that can be opened with claws, and also can both be moved it up here and installed, I will.” I replied.
“I wanna go.” Azazel wined.
“No Azazel,” I said “the trip will take a while and it will be dangerous.”
“But I don’t want daddy to leave me,” she started crying.

“Aww, come here.” I said as I picked her up with my tail. I sat on my haunches and gave her a hug with my fore legs. “I’ll be back before you know it.”
“I have an idea.” Lilith spoke up, “why don’t we go with you part of the way.”
“What do you mean?” I asked trying to calm the demoness.
“If I remember correctly, the city of Stad is next to the capital, we can all head there, and while you head to the capital, me an Azazel can pick up a few things I can’t get in elf lands, and Azazel will have the chance to meet other people.” she explained.
“Yes! Please daddy.” Azazel sniffled.
“Well,” I said as I though over the idea, “I guess there would be no harm, as it takes time to move between the cities… though what are you going to do about her horns?” I asked.
“Half breeds do happen, epically with the… liberal minded… scaled folk in the far north.” She replied.
“Scaled folk?” I asked, “What are those?”
“They are all the unholy reptile races that can’t decide what spices they are!” she spat.
“Right and you want to pass off sweet Azazel as one of those?” I questioned.
“It not as bad as being a demon and the scales help,” she replied as she pulled out a large sack.
“Fine. You can come, but only as far as Stad.” I replied as I set down the excited demoness.
“I will get my stuff!” She shouted as she ran towards her cavern.
“Could you help her after you get ready?” I sighed.
“Sure, it shouldn’t take me too long to pack.” she replied.
“Thank you, I’ll get some food packed” I said as I left her cavern.
I walked into the kitchen and packed some food and a few other foodstuffs into a sack.
“Daddy I’m all packed.” She said running into the kitchen with a leather sack.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yes, I have an extra dress and a blanket, and some jerky that I was hiding in my hoard.” she explained.
“I think you are missing a few things,” I said, holding in my laughter, “go ask your big sister to help you.”

“Ok.” she replied before she ran out of the cave.
—————————Lilith- POV————————————
“I might still succeed in my mission.” I happily thought to myself as I packed my things.
“Big sis, daddy said to have you help me pack though I packed already.” Azazel said as she ran into my cavern.
“Let me see.” I said as I opened her pack and looked inside, “Aren’t you missing some cloths?”
“No, I have a dress.” she confidently replied.
“Good, but you’re missing a few things.” I said.
“No I’m not,” the demoness replied.
“What about underwear?” I asked.
“My scales are coming in so I don’t need them anymore.” she declared.
“Well until you are fully scaled, you are wearing them; so go pack a pair,” I said, “and you don’t need to take a blanket.”
We finished packing and headed toward Stad. The afternoon sun warmed my wings as we traveled over the sea of green. I looked over at the odd pair who seemed to be having fun. I could see the look of wonder on Azazel’s face as we traveled.
“Having fun back there?” the dragon yelled over the whistle of the wind.
“Having a blast” I replied as I scanned the horizon.
“How far away is this city?” Fafnir asked.
“No clue, I have never been this far south but when I looked over the maps of the area it wasn’t very far. No more than a few hours by wing.” I replied over the wind.
“This area looks familiar.” I just barely heard over the wind.
After another hour the sea of green broke revealing a golden plain, and far in the distance, another small forest just barely visible.
“What was the name of this city again?” the dragon asked.
“The city of Stad” I replied
“Any relation to the Marquis of Stad?” the dragon inquired.
“Yes. The marquis of stad is the ruler of the city.” I replied a bit concerned.
“Well… we may or may not have a problem.” the dragon said.
“What?” I asked a bit annoyed.
“I may or may not have murdered most of the city guard the last time I was here and I might have also threatened to murder everyone if I didn’t get an apology.” the dragon admitted.
“You what?!” I shouted as I tried to process what the dragon said.
“I slaughtered… their… guards… the… last… time… I… was… here.” The dragon shouted.
“So what does that mean?” I asked trying to comprehend the implication.
“It should be fine… I got a signet ring out of the deal.” The dragon shouted pointing to his hind claw that had a single ring on it.
I ignored the dragon the rest of the flight until we landed. Right outside the gate, and after placing Azazel on the ground, he shrank to the size of a cat and jumped onto her shoulder.
“Wow daddy is so small now.” The demoness squealed in delight.
I was overjoyed when we arrived at the city gate. I watched as two guards started to walk towards us.
“Halt!” one of the guards commanded as he came towards our little group.
We all stopped and waited as the guard approached.
“State your business, nephilim.” The guard spat.
“My sister, her friend, and I have come to visit this fair city.” I mocked.
“You don’t look like sisters to me.” the guard commented.
“She was adopted and she is one of the scaled folk.” I replied with a bit of venom “Is there a problem?”
“No, just keep out of trouble and your PET under control.” The guard replied, I froze on hearing that and stared at the dragon, but relaxed when I noticed he was asleep.
We walked through the black stone gates when I overheard a group of guards talking about the king being in town for a wedding.
“Hey dragon.” I said trying to rouse the sleeping lizard.
“What?” he mumbled.
“Did you know that the king is here?” I asked.
“Who is here?” the lizard asked as his eyes shot open.
“The king” I repeated.
“HA! This makes everything easier.” The dragon chuckled as we walked towards the city center.
