Ruby dragons are one of the physically strongest crystal dragons only bested by diamond dragons in their physical might. They are like many other crystal dragons capable of enhancing the body, specifically vitality and all that comes with it. They have two other magical affinities fire and blood. Rather than the typical combat blood magic most practitioners use the ruby dragon's is centered around overt and covert control of flesh and blood beings.

After almost setting the room on fire dozens of times it is approaching dusk and while I’ve managed to figure out how to duplicate the three flames, Ria has had no luck. I’ll have to assume it is because they are not in fact pure fire.

“It’s not fair” Ria complains with a pout.

“No, but I guess I’ll have to teach you other stuff. Like how for works so you can make new ones yourself. You could try simultaneously using your tails and combining your abilities.

That is roughly what their golden flames are.”

She smiles at that; the science shouldn’t be difficult for her to understand.

“I actually think everyone can benefit. . .” I continue onwards to explain the basics of combustion and how you can weaponize some of the secondary effects like projectiles launched via expanding gas.

The last of the rays of dusk leave as I finish. Now it is time to deal with a certain vampire.

“How is that going to be useful?” Ria asks and I guess I should answer any questions before moving on.

“Try to make a compressed fireball that uses all of it’s energy up at once. It’ll turn into a concussive blast and you can to physical damage to things immune to fire, it might also get around magic resistance if that doesn’t block indirect magic.

Any other questions?”

None are asked so I pull one vampire priest out of Void Cache.

“Kythia can you get ready to restrain him?”

She doesn’t even nod but smiles as if she is going to enjoy the torment we will be putting this vampire through before killing him. The other girls move and I think they are holding themselves ready to blast him with fire should he move.

I watch for the short few minutes it takes K to draw some runes in several locations on the vampire’s body before pulling out the stake.

The corpse bolts upright and the runes flash and hold him place for a moment before he seems to calm.

“Do you have any idea who I am? I will have you. . .”

“You are restrained by a powerful necromancer and surrounded by multiple people who are more than willing to incinerate you. I suggest you shut up and answer some questions” I interrupt.

Randy Ravnos

In the basement of my ‘captor’ who is now no more than a puppet, his soul trapped in his husk to keep him from informing the other Ravnos is the ritual that they plan to use my son for. It took me several days to figure out the three effects it is to take. Time manipulation, Dimensional Travel and Compulsion.

There is no way for me to keep my son from being the target of this grand spell but there is still something I can do. I could sabotage it to fail but that would only leave three fates, they prepare and force it to happen again, Adrian dies or demons destroy and consume the world. I can however alter it, that is the only way I have to save him.

I could change where he is sent but I will not, he can be happy there and there is none for him here. At least there won’t be when he arrives in this room, I don’t know how to change the compulsion but making it not work is easy enough. When a grand ritual is performed the foci determine everything even with Ravnos magic.

I walk to the section that will govern the effects on my son’s mind and do what I can to cause it to fail. I am no master of the mind and while I am sure that I have caused this part to become effectively inert but whatever remains I can only trust him to handle. I turn to the west feeling a ripple in reality, someone with more power than they are used to just teleported into the building.

I frown as the feeling is too corrupt to be Adrian. My guess of the elders cannibalizing our sparks to supplement their dwindling power must be right then. One of them panicked at the news of my capture rather than my sons and has finally come after augmenting himself.

I teleport myself without causing ripples to the dungeon cell of a room I have my puppet waiting in. There I kill the body but leave the soul trapped but they time they realize it will be too late for them to change anything that I have done. Another ripple and I see Geldath standing in the room.

“Rynald, so Anath did capture you and not the other way around. You used my arrival as a distraction to kill him didn’t you” he says with some distain.

“Of course, just like you’ll die if you don’t pay attention” I taunt.

“You always were better with the mundane. Tell me do you really think that you could get away with keeping your son from me?”

“No, but I managed to give him time away from this. That is enough.”

“Fool, you give your life up to delay the fate of another?”

“No, I do it for my son. Like we all would have before eroding our souls in your reincarnation spell.”

Geldath scoffs at my words and lights me on fire. I resist, push back at his changes in the fabric of reality but he is stronger. He says "I already know where he is" in an attempt to bring me dispair in my final moments.

I do not scream in pain but smile as I die, everything is now in place and the outcome is set.

Adrian

The vampire lies as ashes on the floor and I feel disappointed in how little he actually knew. The Duke runs an operation out of a section of the sewers.

“We can figure out what to do with this information later. Since there isn’t anything else I’d like to give the Blessing of the Dragon.

Who wants to go first?” I ask.

“What does it do?” Ria asks.

“Honestly, I don’t know but it gives you some of my power. I can recover what I spend over time though so don’t worry.”

“Can I?” asks Ria with quite a bit of enthusiasm. I nod and she jumps up to hug me.

I return her hug before setting her down on the bed. I really hope this doesn’t turn her into a reptilian, I like the way she looks now.

I feel dragon-me get behind my consciousness and I feel his whisperings stronger as I slice into the back of my hand with a claw. I don’t write or draw anything with my blood but instead smear it on her chest above her heart.

Ria shutters for a moment but I don’t see anything change in her appearance even as the energy I feel leaving me stops. Then all of a sudden, her tails colors alter slightly, the yellow gets brighter and the red tips become darker.

I don’t notice anything else until she jumps up and kisses me. I return her kiss for a moment before we separate, her tails wagging quickly in an almost hypnotic pattern.

“Latter tonight” I whisper in her ear with a smile.

K moves between Ria and me as soon as there is space for her to. She looks at me and I know she has decided to be next. I feel somewhat drained but break the scab and let dragon-me guide me through this strange magic once more.

She clenches her teeth for a moment, reacting differently than Ria did and there is no change in her appearance as the magic ends. I however get a headache at the base of my skull and feel weak. I brace myself against the headboard and K helps keep me from falling over.

“Are you alright?” each of the girls ask at almost the same time.

“Just give me a moment” I answer before pulling the flask of distilled dragon's blood.

It tastes sweeter than normal as I can’t keep myself from chugging almost half of it while somehow making sure not to spill even a drop. I crave more but as soon as I feel better I pass the flask to K.

“It helps me recover” I answer her question before she asks.

After a few minutes, I feel back to how I was but my hunger for the blood is stronger.

Neither Talia nor Lysan have any physical changes as far as appearance goes, though I had to drink the rest of the flask to sustain myself. I feel weak but the girls are stronger now and I can recover in time.

I lay back on the bed and smile as the four of them surround me, tired and barely able to move.

SC

“You all don’t mind being on top tonight, do you?” I ask.

“Already? Don’t you want to do anything else before bed?” Talia asks as she gets real close to me ear and I smile knowing they’ve already decided to do just that.

“Nope, only my looking forward to your affections is keeping me up.”

The girls all smile at that, before K whispers “you don’t need honeyed words to get us to ride you.”

“You still like them.”

“Not as much as other things” she says with a slight blush, fully admitting to her desire to be dominated.

“Now’s your chance to have your way with me” I say as she slips her hands under my shirt. The twins unbuckling my pants while Ria is running her hands through my hair.

“It’s not having my way with you if others are involved.”

“I don’t care how you all decide to share, if you want to take turns instead it's your choice.”

They all pause for a moment before Lysan speaks, “I want to try that.”

The others nod with a smile over the idea of having me all to themselves for a night.

“Lets figure that out later, I think he deserves to get all of us tonight” Talia says as she slips a hand into my pants, touching the slowly growing member it holds.

“That he does” K says as she pulls off her shirt my eyes instantly begin to follow what is revealed.

Ria stops running her hands through my hair just long enough to help Lysan remove my shirt.

“Which one of us do you want first?” Ria asks as she follows the other girls in showing me her assets.

For a moment I don’t answer, Lysan and Talia are a lot of fun to watch bounce atop me but I haven’t gotten much of my fox yet. Then again K is insatiable when she isn’t being dominated. . .

“Ria hasn’t gotten to go first yet so. . .”

Talia pulls her hand out of my pants while Ria moves to take her place. I end up staring at her as she without breaking eyes contact pulls down my zipper with her teeth after unbuttoning my jeans. I feel the twins move to both sides of me and I barely notice the sounds of them undressing.

My pants follow my zipper though Ria uses her hands for them, my soon to be fully aroused manhood catches the eyes of all of my girls even behind the fabric of my boxers. Ria takes a step back and rolls her pants off of her before tossing the inside out jeans to the floor. Her glorious curves getting some jealousy from my other girls as she sways her hips before climbing just enough into the bed to have her head at my crotch.

The tiniest nip is felt by my instantly rock-hard cock as she bites my underwear and pulls it down without using her hands. I shift just enough to help her pull them all the way past my feet and I’m not sure if I’ll ever choose anyone else to undress me for a while.

The smell of Ria’s rapidly rising arousal hits me and I don’t understand how she is as turned on as me but I stop thinking about it as her very damp slit straddles my length as she climbs atop me and leans down to kiss me. My hands instinctively move to her ass as we kiss for a few moments. I forget all about the other three girls waiting in my bed and focus on enjoying Ria while also letting her enjoy my body until we break for air.

She winks at me and grinds against me for a few seconds before lifting herself up just enough to line my manhood up to impale her as she takes all of it at once on her way down. We both make noises of approval in how our union feels before she uses her tails to move my hands to the bed and she begins.

Grinding herself against my hips for a moment before moving upwards until only my little head remains inside her. She then descends completely and has her tails caress me. I can’t think of doing anything but watching as she enjoys herself completely with my meat pole.

Eventually my hands move back to her hips as I play with the base of her tails. Just before I can’t hold it in anymore, she slams herself down and kisses me our lips meet the very second that I erupt inside of her and she screams into my mouth as her eyes roll upwards.

We stay like this for almost half a minute before she regains control of her legs and I stop twitching inside her.

As she gets up and I almost pull her down to ride me again but the twins decided to ambush me with a kiss. Alternating who is speaking and who is kissing as they say, “we are going to work together so make sure to enjoy us.”

The two of them then move down while making sure their smooth bodies are just barely rubbing against me until they are at my waist. The feeling of their tongues cleaning the mixture of my seed and Ria's fluids brings a twitch to it as I enjoyed their ministrations.

Once the fluid coating has been changed to elven spit I quickly find my face straddled along with my hips. I tilt my head slightly as Lysan, if my guess based on her embarrassed blush is right, moves to fill herself with my girth.

She moans as she slowly is stretched to house me. The outline of my entire manhood still visible unlike Ria where only the bump of my little head is when I’m all the way inside. Something about this image just makes me feel so good about myself, proud that I’m probably touching everything possible inside of her.

The sisters hug, Lysan using her sister to keep herself upright as she begins to move up and down along my shaft. I use my hands to pull Talia to the right position for me to taste her. Her noises aren’t as much as Lysan’s but I have no problems losing to my penis. Lysan’s face over her sister's shoulders does however give me a desire to try and make Talia do the same.

The twins breathing gets heavier and Lysan’s movements quicker as she starts to clamp down around me. I can feel the pulse of her heart along my length as she can no doubt feel my own as my need to let myself go builds until I hold Talia as tightly as I can as I let out a groan into her snatch. Lysan’s inner walls flush with the fluids of our releases as she herself cries out. I think I hear Ria as well but I am not sure.

I let go of Talia and quickly catch my breath as the two twins exchange places. The taste of Lysan with my dripping seed isn’t one I particularly enjoy even though I do like her taste. I glance and smile at the shifting bulge that is me as Talia begins to enthusiastically ride me.

I focus on the nub Lysan likes me rubbing against as Talia very quickly brings herself to screaming out my name as she trembles around me. By the second time she does so I grunt into Lysan as I start filling Talia.

The three of us fall back to the bed and the twins roll off me. Before I manage to recover I am interrupted by a rough kiss before K whispers in my ear.

“I not as good as them at riding you but I’ll make sure to keep you up after their all worn out.”

I smile and feel up one of her breasts and her ass as I pull her down for another kiss rather than let her get started.

. . .

I am the last to wake up in the morning which is something that hasn’t happened in a long time. I even slept in but I still feel weaker than I should be. I probably over did it with giving some draconic power to all four of them at once but I don’t regret it.

“Do you have plans for the day?” K asks.

“Aside from cleaning up first no. But I want us to work on getting stronger for a while before we go after the local vampire duke.”

“I got the soldier in the hall to set us up with something called a football field. He said it would be large enough for us to practice on.”

I smile and let K help me up with her extended hand. That will work well though we will need to set up something to conceal what we do.

As I shower I continue to think of how to accomplish just than. EM pulse to remove local surveillance coupled with an image of light. A sound barrier would be needed to. I can’t let others know or they can use the information against me. Only my family and Bryan can be trusted.

I don’t make much progress with my magic over the next three days, I’m too busy keeping anyone from being able to learn our capabilities. I have gotten a little better with physical combat but my skill and strength is still below K's.

Tomorrow night is the full moon when K will be at full strength so we plan on going vampire hunting then. Tonight, I will see what I can get out of the devil that runs my part of the Grey And see where I stand.

But first I have ever to inform the others of my intention. The girls know but my mother and Bryan do not. I must have making a face as Bryan asks me a question.

“What are you planning” Bryan asks me as we walk back to the hotel.

“Another vampire hunt” K answers for me and I nod.

“That priest wasn’t enough?”

“Priest? What priest?” my mother interrupts.

“The Catholic priest that went missing a few days ago was a vampire. That’s what we were doing. I got the location of the vampire duke or head vampire for this city out of him.”

“Why?” she asks and I am surprised she did not care that I just admitted to kidnapping and murdering along with implied torture.

“The duke has dealings with dad's side of the family.”

“Don’t leave me out of this” she says with her hate seeping into her words.

“Shouldn’t we get the government to help?” Abagail asks and if they hadn’t been attempting to spy on us and manipulate us I might have considered it. That and how the priest said the government recently has been contacting all the vampire dukes and elders.

“They can’t be trusted. They know about him already and do nothing” K answers her.

Abagail seems shocked for a moment before muttering something I do not try to catch. I don’t blame them for working together, the vampires do not want to destroy us as the demons do. They are an enemy for later.

Asleep in my lovers' arms I drift to the Grey Dream's bland realm. The male devil smirks and waves his hand. He enjoys my pain but even so I prefer him to my enemies. He is open about his wants while they scheme and backstab me.

I frown at my current negative EP value. So much for increasing my size again. It also explains my hunger that I just can’t seem to saite.

Not enough SP to do anything either, I need it for increasing Arcane Power though I’m starting to think that is not the right term for it.

With a disappointed sigh, I leave while the devil chuckles at my misfortune of not being able to get anything out of my visit.
