Chapter 9

After my mother had let go of me went into the house, it was a rather nice looking house with a large fire place and a spiral staircase leading up to the upper floor, the kitchen was rather large with enough room for 3 or 4 people, the only problem was that there was no furniture but my mother told me she would get some with the money she was saving up to try and get some new land before I returned.

I turned to look at wesrta, she was standing there with her hands behind her back not talk just observing me and my mother. She noticed me looking at me and did a bow towards me.

Westra-‘’ I assume you will want to have your way with me now’’ she said to me.

Xar-‘’ no I don’t, just so you know I will not touch you unless you ask it of me and also in not even ten years of age so that’s kinda out of the question at this time, and if you’re wondering why I look older than that it’s because of my dragonic blood making me mature faster’’ I said to her as I was trying to keep my composure.

Westra-‘’ I see, but I have a question?’’

Xar-‘’ what is it’’

Westra-‘’I was wondering where we shall sleep tonight as the day is getting late and beds and beddings will take a few days to be made’’ she said to me.

Xar-‘’ on me simple as that my dragon form is comfortable so I am told and the warmth will be enough for you as well’’ I answered her.

Her face began to become red and she lowered her head.

Westra-‘’ but we are not meant to touch dragons its considered a sin’’ she said in a really low voice but due to me enhanced senses that came from my father’s blood i could hear what she said.

Xar-‘’ im only half dragon you know’’ i said to her as I walked outside to inspect the fields around the house.

Westra-‘’ you heard me!!’’ she let out a little yelp of surprise.

Xar-‘’ yes I did’’ I said as I began to use magic to see how much nutrients were contained within the earth around me, what I felt was incredible as due to the stream that ran alongside the house many different minerals and nutrients were carried down steam and helped to make the earth far more fertile than normal.

I then transformed to my dragonic state and walked over to the side of the house and lay down.

Xar-‘’ mother, westra come I’m tired and it getting late, but just so you know the spot were my neck meets my torso is claimed already so find somewhere else to lay down on me’’ I said as I placed my head on my fore claws’’. They both came up to me and lay in spots that went to annoying for me, mother crawled in between my fore claws and head while westra had decided to sleep with her back against my stomach. I quickly feel asleep and had a dream where I was hunting a large black beast that I couldn’t catch a glimpse of what it looked like only it was massive and black.

I awoke to the feeling of something slamming into me, I began to let out a growl as I opened my eyes and saw a mass of pink at my neck, I figured out who this was instantly and began to muzzle against her as she grabbed onto me.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see both mother and westra look at each other with a slight smile on their faces. Turya then began to get up and looked at me giving me an angry look.

Turya-‘’ I’m the only one that’s supposed to sleep with your dragon from’’ she said to me as she crossed her arms in anger. I was surprised at what she had said as she had never done anything like this before.

Xar-‘’ ok first off we have no beds so there that and also how did you find us? ‘’. I asked her

Turya-‘’ that a secret’’ she said giving me a wink before climbing up on to my back. ‘’ can we go for a ride in the sky?’’ she asked me.

Xar-‘’ sure it will help me wake up ‘’ I flexed the muscles in my wings and gave them a quick stretch. I then took off into the sky. The feeling of being free in the sky is something I loved as I felt as If nothing could stop me, even the winds that I could feel along my scales made me feel more alive. On my back I could hear Turya laughing as I sped around in the sky twisting and turning, we flew around for a good hour before heading back to the new house.

As we were heading back I felt Turya’s grip on me tighten slightly. She then crawled along my neck up to the spot behind my head and put her arms around me as she rested her head against mine.

Turya-‘’ Xar I want to tell you something’’ she said in a very shaky voice.

Xar-‘’hmm what is it’’ I responded to her as I rhythmically flapped my wings.

Turya-‘’ well the thing is, I’ve always been looking at you since you have been young, how you helped your mother with whatever she asked you to do, how you increased your strength with daily training and how you would do anything for your family, my father told me yesterday when I went home that I should grab you before anyone else did’’ .she said as her voice slowly got lower and lower. I was insanely confused by what she said.

‘Does this mean she likes me?’ I thought to myself as I landed beside the fields and changed back accidently cause Turya to fall to the ground, she let out a cute little yelp when she hit the ground and then jumped to her feet, and she then grabbed me by my hair and pulled me close to her before kissing on the check and running off.

I moved my hand and began to massage the place where she kissed me, my mother then came up to and pulled me into her arms.

Mother-‘’ my little boys growing up so fast, he already has himself a girlfriend’’ she whispered in my ear. I just sat there not moving for a few minutes trying to get my head around what had just happened.

After I had regained me senses I began to help my mother get the house and fields ready for what she need tam for. We got three beds for the house one for each of the people who would be living here. The fields I helped to till the land so that it would be ready for planting the work was tiring not because of the effort needed but because of the sheer amount of times I had to do it.

The next few months that we spent in the city passed relatively peacefully as I help my mother get her new farm off the ground Westra had decided to live with my mother and help her and so far she was useless at farming but she was slowly improving day by day, the only problem was that Turya hadn’t appeared again since the day where she kissed me and I was starting to get rather worried but my mother wouldn’t let me go find her she said it was something to do with a woman’s heart and that I wouldn’t understand.

I was helping my mother out in the fields when we heard a flapping of leathery wings we looked up so she saphira landing beside the river. she walked over to the edge of the field we were in before using her head to motion me to come to her. I walked over to her and stood in front of her.

Saphira-‘’ youngling go into your dragon form I must check something’’. she said with a slightly commanding tone, I changed into my dragon form after I had gotten out of the field so that I didn’t damage any of the crops.

Saphira then began walking around me examining me from my fangs to my tail , she even asked my to stand on my back legs so that she could look and my stomach.

Saphira-‘’ you haven’t shed yet’’ she said to me matter of factly.

Xar-‘’ shed?’’ I asked her rather confused.

Saphira-‘’ you don’t know what shedding is? Narosh what does that stupid youngling teach you, shedding is a process that a dragon goes through every hundred years, what happens is that the dragon scales and their wing membrane fall off and new ones begin to grow in their place it’s a very painful process but it is needed to replace and damaged scales that a dragon may have or regrow lost wing membranes incase they have been damaged’’ after she had finished her explanation on what shedding was she left rather quickly grumbling about foolish younglings. I was rather worried about the shedding but I had more important things to worry about, I spent the rest of the day helping my mother around the farm.

When I awoke the next day I decided to go for a quick bit of flying as it helped my wake up but when I transformed into my dragonic state I felt large amounts of pain as if my skin was being peeled off.
