《Mate To The Dragon》Daerius
Advertisement
"Why the hell would you have to fight your ex-fiancé to the death?" I ask, completely confused.
"Because it's a sign of disrespect to interrupt a bond and the consequence of disrespect is a fight to the death," she growls furiously.
"You are a great fighter though, you have nothing to worry about," I shrug, trying to make it seem like nothing. I wipe the blood that is still running from my nose and wince at the pain.
"I'm a good fighter compared to wolves, but I am nothing compared to a warrior of the dragon guard!" She yells, shoving me back into the wall.
I stay silent, my face going emotionless as I try to look strong. "I hope you're underestimating yourself," I mutter.
"I'm not," she spits. "Now why the hell are you even here? Why would you even want to come?"
I stare at her. "Want to come? You fucking invited me!"
She looks confused for a moment but then pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a low growl. "Adarath," she hisses angrily.
"What?"
She ignores me. "Take him back to his cell and tell my uncle I'd like to speak with him," she snaps to the guards.
They bow in respect and escort me back to the prison. They push me into my cell and I immediately sit down against the wall.
"Oh god, Daerius are you alright?" Angel gasps, reaching through the bars to examine my nose. I smack her hand away.
"What the hell happened up there? Is Lyza married?" She questions.
I shake my head. "No, right before they were bonded, I lost control and yelled and Lyza ended it," I tell her.
"What else happened to make you so upset?" She asks, seeing right through my façade.
"Apparently with dragon shifters, the punishment for interrupting a bonding ritual is a fight to the death in dragon form, and it's tomorrow."
"So? Lyza is a really good fighter, I mean you saw how many of our guards she put in the hospital and all those shadows she killed. What's the big deal?" She shrugs.
"That's what I said. But Lyza said she is nothing compared to the warriors," I sigh, rubbing the bridge of my healed nose.
Angel grabs my hand and squeezes it. She lets out a heavy breath. "I still kinda hate Lyza's guts, but for your sake, I hope she wins tomorrow."

"Let's go, don't want to be late," the guard chuckles, pushing me in front of him.
I frown, glancing over at Angel whose guard is following her like a drooling puppy.
What the hell is wrong with your guard? I mind-link her.
I flirted with him a little and now he is much nicer, I would suggest you try it but I don't think he's into guys, she replies, a small smirk on her lips.
I make an irritated face at her. You are so helpful you know that? I ask sarcastically.
I try, she chuckles. I roll my eyes and look forward as the guards guide us out of the palace-castle-looking building.
"Is the fight always at night?" I ask a guard.
"Yeah, it makes it much more difficult for the fighters. It helps make sure strength is not the determining factor in who will win," he says.
"That's good, maybe Lyza will have a chance," I mutter, looking over at Angel who nods.
"Princess Lyzaria has nothing to worry about," Angel's guard scoffs. The path we are walking on suddenly inclines.
"Wait, what? She said she is nothing against a male warrior," I say, confused.
"Yeah she doesn't, but her dragon is one of the most powerful here. She has to wear a cold iron collar when she shifts so she can maintain control of her dragon," the guard tells me.
"Why would she be mad then?"
"Maybe because she actually loves this guy that she's going to have to kill?" Angel suggests.
"Princess Lyzaria and Kailo have been promised to one another since they were teenagers, they never left each other's side except when Kailo had guard duties," her guard tells us.
We end up walking between two of the volcanoes and on the other side is a massive bowl-structure in the black dirt. It is easily more than 100ft across and over 50ft deep.
The guards take us to what I guess are viewing stands. They are like stairs but further spread and taller like seats.
Angel and I are pushed onto the lowest bench while the guards sit behind us.
My heart begins to pound as I look at the blood stains in the dirt below. I turn my head just in time to see Lyza walking towards the dirt bowl.
She looks absolutely gorgeous in a red dress that is tight at the top but flares out at her hips. Her red hair is curled and the makeup she is wearing makes her green eyes unnaturally vivid.

She makes eye contact with me for a moment before looking away. She walks to the edge before jumping down into the dirt.
"Wow, I can't do that barefooted," Angel mutters when Lyza lands in a crouch. She dropped about 50ft and made it look easy.
"Well that's not good," a guard mumbles behind me to the other.
"What's not good?" I ask, panicking.
"Princess Lyzaria has a different collar, so that will either be good or bad for her," he says. I follow his gaze to a group of men carrying a large metal collar.
"Shit! That is a huge collar!" Angel exclaims. She's right, it is a couple of meters in diameter and looks extremely heavy.
The men bring the collar into the ring and lay it down in the dirt. They yank on either side of it and it snaps open.
Then Kailo appears, followed closely by Lyza's uncle, and jumps down into the bowl. He stand on the opposite side as Lyza.
"Do they always dress so nicely?" Angel asks. I notice Kailo's black suit and wonder the same thing.
"Of course, for one of them this will be their initiation into the afterlife," her guard replies.
"Today we will witness the trial of Princess Lyzaria and Kailo of the guard. The werewolf prisoner Daerius interrupted the bonding ceremony. Lyzaria is taking the werewolf's place in the challenge against Kailo," her uncle announces in a booming voice and my eyes widen.
"What? I'm the one that is supposed to fight?" I ask, looking towards Lyza who simply gives me blank stare.
"Yes, but it is customary that if the offender is not a dragon then a shifter will take their place in order to make it a fair fight. You should be thankful, if it weren't for the princess you'd be dead already," the guard tells me.
"Kailo and Lyzaria will shift, then after Lyzaria's collar is put on, the fight will commence. It does not have to remain in the circle, but must stay within the borders of Fire Dragon Territory. The fight is to the death, so the winner will be declared after the death of their opponent," King Adarath says.
All eyes turn towards Lyza and Kailo. The sound of cracking fills my ears and I watch as their limbs start to contort. Kailo shifts quickly, his clothes ripping, and his body increasing in size.
In seconds, Kailo becomes a large orange-red dragon, with a muscular form and short, powerful wings.
"He's not a Fury," I mutter in realization. One of the guards nods.
"Lyza and her uncle are the only known Fury dragons in the territory."
I hear a cry and see Lyza on her hands and knees. Her face is twisted in pain as her bones move and rearrange themselves. Her skin slowly becomes black and scaled, and her limbs bend into clawed feet.
Her eyes snap open and they are the fiery red I have seen only twice before. She lets out a scream when sharp spikes suddenly burst from her spine and in less than a minute, her dress falls in shreds to the dirt and a massive black dragon lays in the dirt.
My eyes widen as the men suddenly snap her collar on, then run. The dragon lets out a roar and leap to its feet.
"That's Lyza's dragon?" Angel hisses in shock.
"She said his name is Talon and that when she shifts, he takes over completely. There is no middle ground like with wolves, you don't share control I guess," I explain.
Talon has scales that look like obsidian and gleaming claws on his wings that match the spikes running down his back and tail. The end of his tail is barbed, and look just as sharp as his talons.
Talon and Kailo's dragon both stretch out their wings and I am shocked to see that Lyza's dragon is bigger by a few feet, however much more slender and appears to be less muscular.
"Let the challenge begin!" King Adarath's voice rings out.
Talon immediately darts forward, slamming his head into Kailo's chest and knocking him onto his back. Talon locks his jaws around his opponent's neck, the sharp teeth piercing through the tough scales, but only for a few moments.
Kailo throws him off and attempts a slash at Talon's chest but catches his shoulder instead. Blood, so dark it looks black, flows onto the dirt from both dragons' wounds but both appear to be undeterred. I close my eyes and bury my face in my hands.
"This is going to be a long and brutal fight."

8 114The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.
