A few minutes had gone by, nothing was heard in the metal cage after the rumble and roar that came from Max. Nobody has said anything since they were forced out the door. Worried looks were all around by the ones that stayed. After they were sent out of the room, the girls sent everyone back to the camp outside of the walls except a select group: the vamps, Viki and her group, Frank, Jacob, and of course his mates.

Cass decided she had enough of waiting and went to open the door. Pushing the door open wide, she came face to face with his hellhounds. “Where is he?” She demanded and both turned to the middle of the room. She didn’t see him, so she walked over to where the hounds were looking. Cass came upon the opening in the floor and gasped as she saw molten rock flowing underneath the room. Others had come into the room and gathered around the hole in the ground, watching the molten rock. Extreme heat came up through the hole.

WIth concern in his voice Frank asked, “What is going on?”

“I think he’s transforming," Viki questioned. "He’s a shifter of some sort, correct?”

“Something like that,” Cass replied but wouldn’t say more.

“He had scales on him, gold scales," Viki commented while looking suspiciously at the molten rock. "I believe he was shifting into a dragon, but wouldn’t let himself shift into his full form.”

“How do you know that?” Tia demanded.

Viki looked at the ladies in her group and they nodded at her, “Because we’re dragons, and I can sense him now,” she replied.

The group was shocked silent for a few moments before someone spoke. “Is he alive?” Soph whispered.

“Yes, he is very much alive, and very powerful," Viki gushed with a look of yearning. "Gold dragons are very rare. In fact, one hasn’t been seen in a few millennia.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to see him when he transforms!” Zidi bellowed, the other dragons were happy and giggling with each other while Max’s crew felt uneasy.

“Dammit, he just keeps dropping shit on us," Val asked in a low voice. "Why does this keep happening?”

“Max isn’t a normal shifter is he?” Kali questioned.

“He is someone very special and unique. The things he achieves are amazing; he’s never arrogant, nor overbearing, and treats everyone the same. Anyone who is around him begins to move towards his banner, and those who are in his charge will give their lives for him. You’ll notice the atmosphere changes when he’s around. People feel safe, protected, and the most important, loved,” Cass responded with tears streaming down her face, the girls surrounded her, and embraced for each other’s comfort.

“Max is definitely that, and we’ll always be indebted to him. He inspires courage and loyalty," Acace commented casually. "The beings under his charge are amazing, these hellhounds are joining an elite group with Max.”

“How so? Hellhounds are vicious to deal with, what could be their equal?” Zidi responded with curiosity.

Those around smiled at them and Pri replied, “He has a siba and a kodiak with him.”

“Truly?” Kali asked with disbelief and the others were stunned.

“Yes and others,” Cass replied, nodding her head.

“Who is this guy?” Syky questioned, but before anyone could answer, the room rumbled, and the molten rock started rising. Everyone yelped and moved back as magma flowed down a cocoon of earth. Once it reached its apex and after the magma fell off, the rock started breaking apart. A figure stepped out, his body definition didn’t change, but had gold scales all over his body and golden eyes with slits in them like a reptile. He took a deep breath and it was like he sucked the scales back into his body because it was completely normal now. Max’s shirt was gone, but he still had trousers on his lower body.

He smiled and spoke, “What did I miss?”

I came out of the ground suddenly feeling better, somehow knowing I could control my fire better. Although, my chest was still burning somewhat. It is like needles are poking me. I'm not sure what those scales on my body were, but figured it didn't matter right now. I glanced around to the others and found my women had tear streaks down their faces, so I knew I evidently scared them again. My arms opened wide for them to embrace me, and we stood there for some time. They released me and each whispered words of love, and I willingly returned them.

“Alright stud, let’s clear this place and get out of here,” Acace suggested while smiling.

The keep’s dungeon was a big place, we found it had been deeper into the ground than any thought it would be. We released more vamps, amazons, and Doom’s mate. She was short, around five feet with brown hair and blue eyes, and had a killer body. I won't go into details except she was smoking hot.

At last, we were at the end of the cavern of dungeons and found three more metal cages.

“Viki, which of these has your mistress inside?”

“The one on the right, and she knows you’re here,” she replied with a broad smile. Why does that matter, I wonder?

I nodded and continued, “Doom, which one has Storm?”

He replied with a chuckle, “The one on the left, and she also knows you’re here. Be prepared, you’ve been warned.” I shook my head and wondered what the hell I have gotten myself into.

“Viki, you and Zidi open the cage for your mistress.”

They nodded and broke the locks on the door and opened it. A regal looking woman came out and the other dragons bowed their heads to her. She had high cheekbones, long flowing white hair down to her ass, beautiful pale skin, a gorgeous body, and a fantastic ass. Needless to say she was the total package, for a male dragon that is, but it didn’t hurt to look. She came towards me, nodded to her kin, but turned back to look into my eyes with a heated intensity.

“Your appearance pleases me as well, my drake,” the regal woman purred.

“I’m sorry, what?” Drake? She called me a drake. I don’t have any idea why she said that, but does that mean she’s a dragonborn?

“Drake, our wing’s male. You became that when you took out Victor, and believe me, I am not sad to see him go. He was an arrogant shit. It will be a pleasure getting to know you, baby,” she responded and leered at my body. I glanced over at my girls, they were trying hard to cover the smiles on their faces. I could see no jealousy at all.

I shook my head and responded, “Ooookay? Milady, may I ask your name?”

“Ooooh… so formal, I like that. My name is Detha.”

I nodded and replied, “It’s nice to make your acquaintance, Lady Detha.” She giggled, which was cute coming from a dragon.

“Alright, let’s open Storm’s door.”

I walked over and in one swipe the locks broke off. I opened the door and out came another hellhound in her human persona, wearing a tunic and trousers. She strolled out of the metal enclosure swaying her hips, seductively. She was tall, coming up to my shoulders with long flowing red hair, and deep crimson eyes. Storm had legs that looked like they never ended, toned midriff, and a pear-shaped ass. The hellhound came straight at me with a mischievous grin. When Storm got near me, the minx jumped on me and wrapped her strong sexy legs around me. The woman smirked and kissed me, forcing her tongue into my mouth. Damn, she was spirited and presumptuous. I kissed her back for a few moments and then slapped her ass, hard.

She yelped and brought her head back, “You can play with my ass anytime, baby.” She still held onto me while looking me over and moaning a little. “Lord Hades, thank you for the blessing you’ve bestowed upon us. First to our rescue and then giving us this fine specimen to look upon,” Storm purred. Doom and Fluff cackled loudly. Shade smiled broadly, but everyone else wasn’t happy that she did that in front of them.

I cleared my throat and spoke to Storm, “Can I have my body back now?”

Storm smiled, “Sure thing, baby,” she kissed me again on the lips, and slowly slid down my body. When reaching the floor, the hellhound grabbed my ass and winked as she sauntered over to her kin.

I shook my head and smirked as I turned to the last enclosure. It looked different than the others, but didn’t think anything of it, and broke the locks. I opened the door wide to see inside but to my surprise it was a tunnel of some sort. We followed the dark tunnel for more than ten minutes to end up in some sort of cavern. Eight huge tombs were spread out around the cavern, but I couldn’t tell what was within them. We tried to locate any clue to what was in here, and finally found it on one of the tombs in the middle. An ancient symbol that I didn’t know was placed where it could be seen if in the right spot.

“Alpha, we need to get away from here. This is a dangerous place to be,” Doom recommended as he shot a worried glance to his kin.

“Why is that? What does the symbol mean?”

“It says γίγαντες. It translates to giants,” Doom stated in a concerned manner. Damn, really? Why are they keeping giants here in tombs?

“Are they alive?” We weren’t prepared to deal with a foe like this, if they ended up on the dark ones side.

“Yes, they’re in a capsule of some sort," he replied. "I don’t know why they kept them here, but we need to leave.”

Curiosity got the better of me, so I tried to get a closer look at the symbol. I ran my hand over it in a tracing manner, which turned out to be a bad idea. Not realizing what was happening, mana flowed through me into the letters engaved on the capsule. Seconds later, it shook and everyone around screamed. Oh shit!

“Everyone get to the tunnel, now!”

The group took off at a sprint not looking back, I stayed but started backing up at a slow pace. I was curious as to why this race was encapsulated. It was also that I hadn’t seen a giant before. It didn’t take long to reveal what was hidden when the earth cracked and a roar came out from the huge fucker that sat up. He wiped the dirt off of his head and looked around the cavern to see who or what was around, and his gaze landed on me. The bastard roared again as he got out of the disintegrated capsule and shook the rest of dirt off of himself, before walking towards me. The ground shook every time he set a foot down, but I stood in place and waited for the bastard. The giant towered over me, I mean he had to be at least thirty feet tall. He was a humanoid with dark hair, large muscles all over his body, big ears, and a rugged looking face. His clothes were all ragged and dirty looking.

“You!!!!” It was loud, and I heard whimpering behind me. Doom had waited with me, and now I suppose he probably wished that he hadn't. The giant saw my attire and stared at me for a long while before he came to some kind of decision. “You have the smell of the underworld upon you, but it doesn’t seem dark of nature.” He lowered himself and sniffed in my direction, “Hmm… It seems that Cerberus or even Fenris himself has put a mark upon you. That is impressive if you have caught the eye of Fenris. … You’re not the ones that imprisoned us. Who are you, young human?”

Trying not to show any fear, I calmly responded, “My name is Max, and I accidently opened your capsule.”

“Hmm… I’m thankful for that, young one,” the giant raised himself back up and continued, “We were betrayed by our brethren, the cyclops. They were colluding with the evil ones and bound us here.”

“Well, we have been freeing prisoners in this city all day. We came upon this tunnel and noticed the mounds of earth. I thought they were tombs, but here you are. What’s your name, sir?”

“My name is Gromkir, and I would like to know how you freed me.” He looked around to see the other capsules before turning back to me. “My clan members are still trapped, can you help again young one?”

I shrugged and replied, “Sure, Gromkir, but I’m not sure what I did.”

He nodded and started walking over to his clan members, but I waited until he was almost there before moving. I didn’t want to be smashed under his big feet. When approaching the capsulated mounds of dirt, I scanned and checked over them to see if any cracks or openings could be found. It took a few minutes, but we finally found what we were looking for.

“Right there Gromkmir, the symbol. I ran my hand over it, and then you were free.” Gromkir ran his big hand over the mark, but nothing happened.

I had forgotten that some mana came out of my hand before the symbol reacted, "Gromkir, some mana was used as well. Try that."

He did it numerous times and became frustrated when again, nothing happened.

Taking a breath, I suggested, “Let me try.”

He relinquished from trying, I came up to it and traced my hand like I did the other one. I felt mana surge through my hand and the symbol lit up again. A few moments later, the capsule shook and started cracking open. He bellowed something in his language, so I went around to the rest and performed the same procedure to let them all out. After the last one was done, I stepped back to watch Gromkir and his clan member’s reunion. It was quite the site to behold, they were different sized creatures, ranging from 20-30 ft in height, and various body types.

“That is a frightening sight, boss,” Doom stated while staring at the group of giants.

“Yes, it is.” I saw Gromkir and one of his clan members coming towards me, so I stayed where I was and waited for them.

“Max, this is my second, Cragus.”

I bowed and answered, “Nice to meet you Cragus, this is Doomfang.” I gestured to the hellhound and he nodded towards him.

“We were about to recon the area and leave. There’s an entrance a little ways down the other tunnel. Can you tell us if any hostiles are outside?”

“Yes, I’ve seen a couple of wyverns and some harpies that are patrolling the area.”

They grunted, “Hmm… we will have to wait till dark then.” Cragus grunted in agreement and they both looked behind me. Gromkir smiled, “It seems we’re outnumbered, Crag.” I looked behind me to see my group ready for battle, but were hesitant in seeing me talking with the giants. “Your friends, I presume. Can you introduce us, young one? It has been some time since we’ve had good conversation.”

I grinned at the astonished looks from my people, “I would be happy to Gromkir, this is…” I introduced everyone that was with us to Grom and his clan members that meandered over, then told them the story of our adventures of the past couple of weeks.

“That is troublesome to hear. It appears that our brethren have joined up with the evil ones again, and now are attacking innocents.”

“Yes, Gromkir. We may have need of your assistance in Ebondale. Can you help us?”

“I will have to discuss this with my clan first. Give me a few minutes to deliberate with them,” he suggested and left.

I watched him leave and thought, ‘This day has been extremely different than any other.’ I chuckled to myself and looked around to my group. They were all staring at me, shaking their heads.

“What?”

“Only you can pull this out of your ass. Nobody has seen the race of giants in centuries, and now you’re on a first name basis with them. To top that off, we’ve rescued dragons, vamps, and even hellhounds. Oh, and they may be helping us with Ebondale. Nothing is ever simple with you,” Frank stated and everyone started laughing.

“Well, whatever the decision, we need to head out and join the others. Ebondale will be hit soon, and our people are in danger. Girls, Frank, Jacob, take the others back and get everyone prepared to go.” Nobody moved, they just sat there and stared at me. I glanced around to see defiant glares all around. “What?”

“We’re not going anywhere without you. What part of protection don’t you get?” Cass questioned. “Frank, Jacob, take those who we discussed back to camp.” They nodded and had some of the group follow them. When they got far enough away, the girls started ranting.

Pri voiced her opinion, “Max, you’re not going anywhere without us. We will be by your side from now on.”

“While you’ve been putting yourself in danger nonstop, we’ve had lots of discussions today regarding you, oh fearless leader," Rach advised. "As of now, four of your women will be at your side at all times,”

“Walking, thinking, pissing, advising, fighting, sleeping, and above all else, fucking,” Val stated in calm manner.

“Face it baby, all the bitches you see here won’t let you out of their sight. Get used to it,” Soph commented in an aggressive voice.

I smiled and replied, “There are five of you girls, so you’re going to leave one out each time?”

“Sweetie, you misunderstand," Tia said then gestured to all the females in the group. "All of the ladies here are yours.”

What the hell? I had to have heard wrong, they can’t mean that shit. “What are you talking about? I’m not some pussy that can’t defend himself, and what’s this shit about fucking? You can’t possibly mean, sharing me?”

All the ladies were smiling, hungry looks upon their faces, but nobody answered me. After some time Cass spoke. “We love you, but our family needs to get stronger, and that means we need those who are loyal to you in every way. They have until Ebondale to decide if they want in or out. Everyone who remains will take an oath to be at your side no matter the condition.”

I groaned and responded, “I suppose I don’t get a say in it?” They shook their heads no. Turning my head to clear it, I heard Gromkir coming our way, so we waited in silence till he made it over to us.

“Young one, we’ve discussed your proposal and have decided to help Ebondale. Although, we have to get out of here first, and we’ll have to deal with those wyverns outside,” Gromkir stated in a thoughtful manner.

“We can cause a diversion to help you guys escape.”

He nodded and replied, “That would be helpful, thank you. We’re ready when you are.”

“Alright ladies, since I can’t piss without you around, let’s go,” I grumbled.

They chuckled and a couple slapped my ass when I walked by. We followed Gromkir and his clan down the tunnel, we came out on the side of a mountain away from the city to find it was dark outside. Walking slowly and looking around the area, we tried to locate the wyverns and harpies. Only a few made it hundred yards before grunts and hisses were heard.

“Everyone get down!” I hissed and took a knee checking the sky above to see five harpies around us. They spotted our group and dropped out of the sky towards us, but Gromkir with his crew plucked them out of the sky and ate them in two bites. That was not something I needed to see again, but turned my head up when Grom spoke, “Fear not young one, we’ll handle the harpies if they come near us.”

I nodded to him and walked slowly towards our camp, not hearing or seeing any more creatures. It took some time but we saw the entrance to the woods where our camp was located when my ears picked loud wing flaps, and saw two wyverns coming our way. Making a quick decision, I gestured for the others to go and grabbed Cass to wait behind with me.

“Let’s see if we can slow those flying turds down, eh?” She smiled and got her magic ready, but I was going to try something different. “Cass, I want you to lead on this, use my mana to power your spells.”

“Umm…Max, I’ve never done that before. What if something goes wrong?” She whispered and I pulled her into my arms for a couple moments.

“It’s okay, love. You can do it, I will try to feed you some of my mana, and see what happens. Your spells are more stable than mine, so have at it babe.” I gestured to the wyverns flying towards us.

Her brow furrowed as she concentrated, I found our link and supplied some mana to see if we could take out these bastards. Clouds started moving around and lightning filled the sky as thunder rumbled. I felt her pulling on my mana supply as it flowed away from me, she was taking a big heap of it, and I was wondering how big of a spell she wanted to accomplish.

Suddenly, she spread her arms and screamed like a banshee as my avian mage looked at the sky. I followed her gaze to watch the show that was about to happen, hundreds of lightning strikes came out of the sky to hit the wyvern's head on. It wasn’t just one round either, a total of three complete cycles of her spell were completed. All we heard of the wyverns were some shrieks that lasted for about a minute and a couple of thuds when they hit the ground, motionless. Damn, she is vicious with her magic and I’ve never been more proud.

I picked her up and kissed her passionately. We were panting when we got done. I threw her on my shoulder and started walking into the forest, “You did wonderful my feisty mage.” She yelped and started giggling when I slapped her ass, she just laid there while my eyes scanned the encampment. She got down when noticing Frank and Jacob hurriedly walking our way.

“Boss, it’s good to see ya made it out, but the lady dragons need your assistance with something urgent,” Frank swiftly stated.

“What is so urgent?”

“The male dragon is hounding them about their decision to throw him out," Jacob replied humorously. "He is beginning to become hostile, and Detha has asked us to find her male to handle this issue.”

I laughed, “Her male, eh? What the hell have I gotten myself into?”

“I don’t know, but damn boss. How the hell are you going to keep up with everyone?” Jacob asked.

I didn’t answer but Frank gave his two cents, “All he has to do is copy himself, and then watch. ... Damn, a live show, that would be awesome,” he chuckled, Jacob snickered as well.

“Ha. Ha. Ha. Shut the fuck up.”

I walked away from them as they continued to laugh, but I turned my attention to the lady dragons over in a corner of the camp. Detha was hissing at the douche in their language, but evidently he wasn’t getting it. The other girls were behind their female lead, hissing as well.

I came up to them, waiting in the background. I listened to the interesting bitching going back and forth, but was ready to relax, so I cleared my throat. They all stopped and looked over at me, the girls smiled, but the male hissed and started towards me.

“You have no right to do this! I am the male of this wing, you’re not even our kin, so back off asshole,” Victor shouted, some spit came out of his mouth and landed on me.

I wiped that shit off with my hand and cleaned it off on my trousers, “Keep your voice down dickhead or you’ll fight the next wyverns by yourself.” Turning to the women, “Ladies, what is the problem here, besides the bitchin from Vic?” I pointed at him, but he just got angry.

“Max, he won’t take the hint that he isn’t part of our wing anymore. I made the decision after his failure to keep us safe. He’s an arrogant shit, doesn’t treat us like the ladies we are, and he’s a pussy. We’ve been trying to breed to expand our wing for years, but he hasn’t fulfilled his duty, so he’s out,” Detha stated.

I glanced at him and knew the fucker was about to do something stupid, my legs carried me closer to him. His hand elongated to a claw and swiped at Detha, but before he touched her, I blocked him with my right hand, and punched him in his throat with my left fist. He gasped and fell to the ground with a thud, holding onto his throat. Damn, I may have put a little too much strength into that punch, he stayed that way for a few minutes until his pharynx healed from his magic. Finally getting his breathing under control while lying flat on his back, he glared at me. Before he moved I put my foot on his throat, making it where he couldn’t breathe again.

“Okay jackass, I will give you this final warning, leave or die.” I growled while my fire became active. He whimpered and nodded vigorously. I let him go and he took off through the forest in the dark.

“Oooooo, that was so fuckin hot, baby. I can’t wait to sample the goods, my drake. Just watching you today has me aching for your touch,” Detha gushed.

My adrenaline was still high, so I boldly stepped over to her, and wrapped the gorgeous dragoness up in my arms. Since my fire was still active, I made it where it wouldn’t harm her, and then kissed her. White fire engulfed us, all the girls were shocked and aroused at the scene in front of them. Detha jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist while I forced my tongue down her throat. Growling she tried to get the upper hand, but my instinct told me I needed to show her dominance. I pulled back from the kiss, pushed her head to the side where her neck was vulnerable, and bit her hard. She moaned loudly, pulled me back into the kiss, and started grinding against me.

“Damn, he’s gonna take her right here,” Rach stated, arousal in her voice.

“I’m up for some entertainment,” Tia commented with a nod.

“That is so hot, get her love and make her scream!” Soph shouted gleefully

“Yes, baby, mark her ass. Let everyone know who’s bitch that is,” Val bellowed as she also cheered.

I heard them in the back of mind and figured if they didn’t care, then I was going to take this sexy dragon. I made a dome of fire and lightning to give us some privacy, and laid her on the ground gently. “Strip.” She got out of her clothes quickly, so I stripped as well and advised her of my criteria.

“I don’t share Detha, you do this, then it's forever.”

“We’ve already been told this baby, and we want it."

I nodded, grabbed her waist, and put her on all fours. She shook her naked ass at me playfully and I could see her glistening pussy just waiting for me. Not sure if she was ready or not, the dragoness seemed to like it rough, so I lined up to her forbidden place and thrust hard. She screamed out and her face showed pain and pleasure. I worked up a good rhythm in her with long hard thrusts, she let out guttural moans and gasps throughout.

After a few minutes of this, I decided to let her know what she was dealing with, so ….SLAP … her ass cheeks were jiggling now ….SLAP …SLAP ….SLAP. Detha was moaning loudly, shouting out in her language. Man, I could look at her ass all day. Her ass cheeks were red now, I slowed to a gentle stroke and started massaging her fine ass.

She mewled and whimpered when I slid my hand up her body and yanked her head back to whisper in her ear, “I noticed you want to be dominated.” She whimpered out a yes so I continued, “I have just what you need then.”

Concentrating, two copies appeared. I gave them my commands and provided Lady Detha the time of her life. She didn’t even realize anything changed until I slowed to stop. Pulling my rod out, my eyes saw juices flow out of her pussy, I gestured to one of my copies to get down on the ground, then gently maneuvered my dragoness over for her to lower herself onto him. When she was impaled, I lined my hard cock up to her puckered star and thrust in her ass hard, making her scream. The three of us got into a rythym after a few moments, moans and mewls were the only sounds heard from her. My last copy walked over and shoved his cock in Detha’s mouth. We took her to sexual highs over and over until at last we dumped our cum in her holes. When the three of us were out of ammo, we pulled out of her to see she passed out, so we gently laid the dragoness on the ground. I pulled my copies into me, but watched the dragoness for a few minutes to make sure she was breathing right. Picking up my clothes and getting dressed, I noticed she was waking up, so I grabbed her clothes and brought them to her.

She had a broad smile on her face when her mind knew where she was at. “That was… amazing, my drake. I have never felt ecstasy like that, when can we do it again? I grinned and she giggled when I shook my head.

“C’mon, let’s get some rest, we’ll need it for the next couple of days.”

She nodded and I helped her up to get dressed. When she was decent, I brought down the dome to find we were surrounded by a horde of females. Detha slowly sauntered over to her kin with a wide grin as I scanned the faces around me. I recognized my girls, the dragons, Pri and Acace, but the rest were a mystery. Popping my back and neck, I walked towards my tent to rest, feeling every eye on me as I strolled by.

Detha couldn’t keep from smiling, she was in awe of him, and wanted more of what just happened, even though she was sore all over. She came back to herself when she realized someone was talking to her.

“Don’t keep us in suspense, girl. What happened?” Viki questioned.

“You didn’t hear?” Detha curiously asked.

“No, we didn’t get a peep show either," Zidi commented. Which was kind of a bummer.”

“Oh, girls it was incredible," Detha gushed as she pictured her tryst within her mind. "He hit places I didn’t even know about, and my throat is weak from all the screaming I did.”

They giggled and discussed her adventure with Max, and she told them how he plundered all her holes at the same time.

Rach sighed and spoke, “That’s my man, he satisfies in every way.”

“Are you sore, Detha?” Tia giggled, and Detha nodded with a grin on her face.

“Detha, our sister, welcome to the family,” Cass smiled as they hugged each other.

“Ladies, I don’t want to put a damper on this occasion, but we need to discuss what we saw on that tapestry,” Pri suggested and everyone around showed concern on their faces.

“Tapestry? What was on it?” Detha asked with some confusion.

Cass glanced at her sister-wives for approval and they nodded. “Those that are joining us, follow me away for privacy.”

A group of them: the dragons, Shade, Storm, Kali, Pri, and Acace followed the wives of Max deeper into the woods until they came upon a clearing that some logs were found that they could sit on. When everyone was comfortable, Cass spoke out.

“Ladies, you need to understand something before you commit to our cause. We should’ve told you Detha before your love session.” The dragons were confused about what they were talking about.

“What does that have to do with a tapestry?” Detha questioned again.

“Max is destined for great things, and in this destiny those around him will be put in extremely dangerous situations. Let me start from the beginning, it was a day to remember…” Cass told the group about Max, what he is capable of, and what he is destined to do. The others gave their stories and opinions to the group when Cass finished. When they were done, silence and the leaves blowing from the wind were the only things heard in the clearing.

“That is…if anyone would’ve told me this before we met Max, then I would tell them they were full of shit," Acace calmly assessed the situation. "Seeing the tapestry and the things he can do make me a believer. Are you trying to talk us out of it?”

Cass responded, “No we’re not, but you need to know how serious the situation is. What has happened to your people will be nothing when Xolras comes. You need to think about what this means and if he is worth dying for.” Everyone glanced around to the others to see their emotions.

“This hasn’t changed anything for me. I will stand by him,” Pri stated firmly.

“His wing will stand by him. He is special, and I feel deep within me that our wing is meant to be together,” Detha replied and the other dragonesses nodded with smiles. The other ladies agreed too.

“Now, let’s discuss other matters.” Cass proposed and for a couple hours the ladies sat and conversed.
