V2 – Side story

AN: Change name: Ragoniad to Ragona. Because its more feminine and I lately realize that I have bad naming sense. LOL. Thanks to someone who pointed it out. hahahaha.

Eva, Queen of Mulier

When I met Joel, my beloved, I knew that I found the one and only one for me. Although I hastily jumped to become ‘one’ because I followed the priestess’ prophecy, I didn’t regret it. Thanks to him, our primitive settlement, our primitive ways and our primitive behaviors enhanced or I shall say we were ‘enlightened’. I was very thankful for him, not only him but also the people. Whenever I remembered the day that I forcefully made that ‘close-to-marriage’ blood contract to him, I was always felt ashamed for what I did but at the same time joyful and happy. Although he told me that he was engaged or someone already owned him, I didn’t care because my mind at that time was in cloud nine. That memory was so disturbing and....precious to me.

Whenever I remembered it, I hate myself for not reconsidering the other party. ‘What was gotten to me at that time?’ I remembered the cold wind blowing in my face but strangely it felt hot. It was like that I got a fever. I knew that the weather was cold and the sky was cloudy signaling that a heavy rain would soon to come. And yet my face and my body were hot. It was a great mystery to me why it was hot.

I thought that he would kill me or kill us but he just reconsidered my relationship. He was such a gentleman and at the same time future thinker. Our blissful atmosphere at that time was interrupted by the cries of fleeing Batia soldiers. There, I saw 3 dragons wreaking havoc to anyone running on the ground.

The scene was next to hell as flesh, metal, sword, armor and bones turned into ashes. When I took a closer look of the ashes scattered around, you cannot tell anymore which came from metal or flesh. The scene made all my hairs standing all over my body. The scene was one-sided murder if you asked me. The scourging heat felt by not just me but all of us even we were far away from the hell scene. I forgot to turn my head to witness my people’s expression but I knew that we had the same expression and feeling. All of us were awe-inspiring horrified and I was sure that all our backs went cold at that time. Even they were our enemies for past years; we felt pity in our hearts to their hopeless situation.

So this was the power of a dragon and their legendary destructive nature.

When the situation died down, my first concern was my people left behind, the old and children we left in our settlements. Along the way, I could imagine the burning houses and corpses of my people. Even I knew that it was hopeless, I hope that someone or at least one of them survives. When I arrived in the scene, my expectations betrayed me. The walls, the houses, my people cowering inside and some took a peek at me were still intact and alive. Seeing that all of them were alright, my heart skipped a beat and felt that my nose stopped gathering air. Before I knew it, my chests hurts and tears started to flow in my cheek. Before I realized, I already hugged the children nearby and embraced them.

After that mass murder and at the same time miraculous situation, I fell to my knees like my leg strength that I boasted during fights was gone or drained by unknown force. The 3 horrifyingly deadly monsters, the dragons, turned into beautiful females.

Seriously? They were like evil proud creatures transformed into good and gentle goddesses. Their beauties were extraordinarily out of this world. And again, I forgot to turn my head to witness my people’s expressions but I knew we felt the same.

Was this really happening in front of us? Were the gods or any powerful beings joking to us? I never heard a dragon transformed into beautiful girls before! I remembered about dragon’s tale during the old woman’s storytelling before that dragons only bring disaster or calamity. But I never heard that they will turn into fine and gentle girls. They looked so innocent. As if their presences bring calmness and peace but if you knew that they are the legendary terrifying monsters, the dragons, I am sure that anyone would have a hard time. Me too, I had a hard time to swallow the thorny reality.

We welcomed the dragons out of fear and invited them to my place. We secretly thankful to them but their destructive nature before already imprinted on our minds. It was like they indirectly threaten us. But I hope that they would not lay waste on our humble settlement. I already imagined my burning wooden house which took a year to complete. God or whoever oversees this world please spares us. Help us. Protect my house.

The three beautiful dragoness introduced themselves and it looks like they knew my beloved, Joel. The female one which had appearance of 20-25 years of age was the older sister and the 2 cute little ones were her 10-year old twin little sisters. I don’t know if their appearance reflects their actual age. There are a lot of races which stopped their aging process after hitting a certain age and others were still young until death. My people would stop aging after hitting 30 and had long life expectancy of at least 200 years though. I didn’t know if we were humans but I was sure that our appearance and behavior were humans. But I heard that humans had a lifespan of at least 100 years and their aging process continues until they die. Knowing these facts, my head was spinning in confusion.

Seeing the four guests were so friendly and familiar to each other, I gathered all my courage to asked them an important question.

‘This is it. I don’t care if I will lose my life after asking this question.’

“If I may, what is your relationship to my beloved Joel?”

“What!”

BOOM

Before I could react to the loud sound, our savior and my beloved was suspended in the air. No, my description was wrong. He was single-handedly raised by Ragona. Uwah, the scene before me showed the power and strength of a dragon. Wait! I need to help him. Oh no what should I do? I need to help him but there’s a chance that my house, I mean our settlement would surely burn into ashes. What should I do? God please spare us. Please tell me how many sacrifices to prepare just to prevent and stop this predicament. Ahh. My brain hurts. I forgot that we didn’t believe in any Gods nor performed sacrifices before.

““Please calm down Ragona. I only wanted her cooperation for my mission- guha *choke*Shtop *guhaa let *cough* me *cough* talk*cough*” - Joel

Thankfully they didn’t bring destruction to our settlement and the issue easily resolved by both parties with a price of my roof! I cannot believe it, Ragona easily blow my roof and it flies away. Oh no, rainy days was coming and here I am watching a lover’s quarrel with matching roofless house as their background.

Few days after, Joel built a grand palace. He just stands in front of my roofless house and a miracle happened. A grand palace instantly appeared before us. It looks like a small mountain. That was my first time seeing a giant building from my entire life and my first time witnessing that kind of magic or I called it miracle. I didn’t know how he did it, I just thanked him many times. I guess I had now a grand shelter during rainy days.

So many surprising, unexpected and shocking scenes and events unfolded before my eyes. Does the gods above wanted to make fun of me? If I live like this every day? It greatly affects my health and my life expectancy would surely lessen from the stress. I would not be surprised if I died in these days. And the most shocking truth, Joel was engaged to Ragona. Oh my god, I instantly lose my strength on my whole body.

This was the battle where I already lose from the start. This was a one-sided defeat. I cannot accept it but I gave already my promise so I must retaliate and hang on although my winning chances were small.

Does the gods playing a prank on me? In terms of beauty, I lose. In terms of strength, I lose. In terms of overall level, I lose. I cried on my heart at that time. What kind of battle is this? What kind of defeat is this? The battle didn’t even start but I lose already. *Sob* *Sob*.

AN: Although, they are not engage yet. There’s a word ‘yet’ please take note.

Fortunately, Joel was not a dragon, that’s one less destruction to me. And that’s one thing that I was thankful. It really gave me a breather there. Whew. I could not accept or imagine a dragon husband who easily blow and destroy our house to pieces whenever we had a quarrel in the future. Thinking about that makes me shiver. I don't want that!

AN: Girl, if you know that Joel is capable of blowing up this planet or possibly the universe, I think you need to rethink there.

While I was mourning for my loss, no I was preparing for my loss, Ragona and Joel talked to me regarding our relationship from now on. It looks like their lover’s quarrel was easily resolved. I wonder if that quarrel was part of being in relationship.

We discussed each other and share our thoughts what to expect and what obstacles and challenges we would likely to face in the future if we continue our relationship. Thus he proposed the ‘first to get to know each other before talking marriage’ idea. After that, Ragona ordered Joel to leave us girls alone. He went outside with no complains or any disobedience. Then we girls talked many things. We call it girls talk. The details of the ‘girls talk’ between women, me and Ragona were highly confidential.

After the discussion and seeing them, I learned more about them. It seems Ragona is the commander while Joel was the right hand man. It looks like ‘she’ was the master and ‘he’ was the servant. But Ragona told me the manly side of him during their bonding time. Knowing these facts I plotted, I mean think some things that would surely help Joel in the future. I am prepared to become ‘his’ servant and I would gladly play the role of ‘slave’ if he wanted it. Hehehe What kind of reaction does he make? I wonder? Does it increase my chance to win his heart and become his favorite?

Joel was really a gentleman. He really respects other people especially the girls, responsible and a caring man. He didn’t demand to have a sex with me after our blood contract. He always thinks for the future and consequences.

Unlike those men, not my people though, they didn’t hesitantly think for the future and just jump to just get advantage of the situation. They just wanted to have sex. And if they knew that the ‘baby comes’ they would immediately flee. I hate those types of men the most. There’s a fault to the woman’s side though. Both parties were at fault. And that’s the start of the root of many problems, a broken family. Family planning is important. After knowing its grave effects and the incoming chain of troubles in the future, I ordered my people to mandatory attend a ‘Family Planning’ seminar.

After talking to some female with lovers either old or young, I finally found the answer to that mysterious feeling or phenomenon that I felt before. I guess that they were right because until now he made me ‘hot’.

----------------------------

“Hello my beloved, are you prepared? I am quite nervous” - Eva

“Me too. Seeing the important people around and this moment. I am speechless” - Joel

“I am not talking about that” -Eva

“Ah yes, sorry my love, you are so beautiful in that dress. It really matches you” -

“I see. You two are already flirting here” - Ragona

“Oh no. You too are so beautiful also”

“Really?”

“Yeah both of you are so beautiful”

I heard the ringing of the bells and the audience was already waiting for us. The priest and our parents were smiling. This day was one of the greatest days of my life. Not just me, both the three of us was so happy and excited especially after this ceremony. I already bet that our night would surely a hard and intense battle.

After the speech of the man in white or his long ceremonial talk, we now proceed to the most crucial part.

“If anyone here, present today, disagrees with the union of these people. Please speak up” – Priest

The audience was silent while smiling to us. Great, no one disagrees. This was truly my great day.

“Then I will call you a man and his wiv-” - Priest

“STOP!!!!”

A girl in white dress which had close resemblance to my dress but with slight changes breaks the door and shamefully barged in. She was really beautiful in her dress. I am mesmerized by her beauty even I am a female.

“It looks like we have a runner up~” – Eva

“Make WAY!!!”

Oh another girl in white dress barged in. Now there were two of them. She also a beautiful lady. I could not compare them. In terms of beauty and other female aspects, I am sure that I was not inferior to them and I could expect that I would retain my ranking spot. Just how many girls did Joel pick along the way?

BOOM

“Explain!!” - Ragona

“I can cough cough”

‘Hah, he was so manly’ – Eva’s thought
