Love, please be careful

Artemis giggles lowly with her arms outstretched on the back of Kaleo's back. Caspian holding her waist from behind as the wind whips over her cheeks. Kaleo's long wings slicing the clouds gliding effortlessly through the heaven's. She turns to kiss his cheek right before Kaleo dips to land near the cave's entrance.

Kaleo lands creating a familiar sound before entering. Upon entrance to the inner cavern, Artemis can see Selcia coiled around her nest where the egg is now cracking open. Artemis gasp watching as the egg moves on it's own accord. She slides off Kaleo's back before landing with a soft thud onto the cavern floor. She races forward while Selcia chuffles at the maiden. Artemis imitates the sound before Selcia uncoils her tail allowing Artemis through.

"Love..."

Artemis turns around to see Caspian's concerned face. She just smiles before turning back to the egg.

Artemis stand back

Artemis listens to Kaleo and watches as Selcia inhales and her mouth glowing reddish orange. She blows out a flame right towards the egg. Caspian rushes forward seeing the large dragon about to breath fire. He halts on the outside of her tail seperating him and his beloved. He looks on to see her breathing onto her egg. The egg is heated to the color of molten lava. Artemis watches on in pure awe.

A loud crack emits before the egg falls to the side showing a beautiful silver coat of scales. The tail has spikes like thorns on a vine. Artemis looking over the newborn as it wiggles around before stretching her long legs with sharp talons. The nails the same color as Kaleo's raven scales. It is when she opens her eyes that Artemis looses her ability to breath. The beautiful creature blinks multiple times but her eyes never change from their pure white with only a small black for the pupil. The animal studying the creature in front of her.

Artemis tilts her head and watches as the baby mimics her. Caspian chuckles from behind making Artemis turn to him. She can see his clear astonishment by the newborn. Selcia still keeps them separated until she confirm the baby won't snap at the young man. Caspian lays his hand on the mother's tail absentmindedly rubbing her rough scales under his palm. Selcia smiles down at the human watching how he is reacting to her young one.

Artemis begins humming softly making the dragon close it's hypnotic eyes in bliss. She steps forward slowly before placing her palm on the silver snout. The young dragon's eyes going wide with alertness of the new touch.

Selcia, what is she to be called?

Artemis continues looking to the white eyed dragon while Selcia looks down to her daughter. Kaleo standing behind Caspian looking at his new sibling.

Aneesa

Artemis looks to the beautiful speaking to her directly.

My name is Artemis, welcome to our world Aneesa

The young dragon's eyes widen and she scrambles back from the creature before her. Selcia senses the dragon's fear and lifts her tail gently pressing Artemis back and creating a barrier to her infant. Aneesa continues looking to Artemis until a chuffle is heard making the young dragon look to her mother. Her mother leans down rubbing her cheek to the young dragon in comfort.

You did wonderfully Selcia, she is magnificent

Selcia smiles turning to the savior who continues beaming at the newborn

Thank you Artemis

Artemis lifts her palm which Selcia leans her head towards allowing the young maiden to rub her gently.

Artemis, I will return you for now. We will come visit you soon

Artemis turns to Kaleo nodding before looking to Caspian who glances between the dragon back to her. She smiles taking his hand leading him back to the raven beauty. Kaleo gently wraps his tail around Artemis lifting her to his back before following the same action with Caspian. The dragon becoming more accustomed to the young man. They settle themselves on his back as he turns and pivots exiting the tavern.

Thank you Kaleo for bringing us

Artemis lays down rubbing the majestic creature's back in a gratitude gesture. Kaleo chuffles before spreading his wings upon the entrance to the cave's mouth. Soon they are once again flying through the skies.

Arriving back at the kingdom, the evening is setting in. Kaleo once again lands outside the palace gates in the forest green. Artemis rubs him gently and watches as Caspian does the same. Kaleo leaning into his palm making the prince smile at the beast that loves affection. He leans forward placing his head to his nostrils.

"Thank you Kaleo"

Kaleo huffs making wind blow out of his nostrils. Artemis laughs while Caspian steps back. The dark dragon lifting off and disappearing into the night sky. Caspian then looks as Artemis continues to stare at the evening sky. Her arms outstretched as she spins allowing the gown to swirl about her. He has never seen quite a rare beauty like the silver goddess before him. How he became so lucky to hold her heart, he will never know. Nor will he ever chance loosing it. She stops spinning with a pure smile resting on her lips.

Artemis looks to her prince whose eyes are penetrating her. His look of pure adoration making her insides warm. She bask in his affection loving every minute of it. He steps forward slowly as if giving her the chance to run. She doesn't move... bolted to the spot in which she stands.

Caspian's eyes turning darker the closer he gets to her. He can feel her desire rolling off of her making his mind just as fogged. When he closes the distances, his hand cups the base of her neck while the other firmly grips her in place. He looks at her for a minute as the breath mingles between them. The tension growing heavier by the minute.

"My love"

His husky voice like honey to Artemis. She closes her eyes humming to him as his face gets closer. Cheek to cheek, she can feel his fingers massaging the base of her neck. She moans softly against the shell of Caspian's ear. His grip on her waist tightening by the sound.

"My prince"

Her breathless words igniting the spark laying within Caspian. His head dives to her neck nipping and biting at her sweet skin. Red marks trailing her length of her neck. Her hands gripping at his head holding him to her. She tugs on it gently causing him to groan. He turns her to press her up against the trunk of a tree.

Artemis' body feeling as if a fire was coursing through her. It feels nothing like when she was angry but just as powerful if not more. She feels his hand leave her neck slowly trailing down the front of her dress. His fingers leisurely moving over her breast making her arch into his hand. He growls before smashing his lips to hers. That was the match to the wood for Artemis. She tugs on his shirt wanting, no needing to feel any part of him. She untucks it from his trousers before her hands feel the heated skin of his chest.

Caspian presses his pelvis to hers earning a loud moan from the beauty. It is then he notices she is glowing. Her hair the electric color, the same as her arm. She looks like lightening during a storm. He doesn't have much time to ponder on it when Artemis coils her fingers on his side pulling him chest to chest as their mouths dance together.

When another round of friction courses through Artemis, she feels her stomach tightening making her emit a sound foreign to her. She does not know nor does she care at that exact moment. He takes her hands into one hand pinning them against the trunk of the tree above their heads. Ordering her to keep them their, his fingers trace down her arms before coming to her back. One arm wrapped around her while the other pulls her gown slightly showing more skin on her chest. His lips finding the newly shown skin.

Artemis feels her body finally release the feeling and her eyes shoot upwards. Caspian notices her arch and steps back slightly. He looks to her face but is shocked to see what has occurred. He steps back to look at the tree. Where Artemis hands were connected above her is now a trail of flowers that lead up into the tree and have blossomed on the branches. The tree was not to blossom until after winter has come and gone. Artemis' hair and arm slowly fading back to their normal as she opens her eyes.

"Love, step forward."

Caspian takes her hands as she wobbles forward still in a trance from the adrenaline coursing through her. He turns her around to look at the tree and all earlier thoughts fade as she looks to the blossomed tree.

"I did that?"

Her words a whisper as she looks to the flowers and notices on the bark of the trunk where they begin. It was where her hands were momentarily ago. Artemis looks to her hands not understanding what happened. She steps forward putting her hand to the tree. Caspian standing back watching her in awe.

"Come love, we must get back."

Artemis pulls her hand away from the rough bark turning back to the awaiting hand of Caspian. Taking it, they walk back towards the castle. Caspian's thumb rubbing small circles upon her hand while Artemis squeezes his hand.

"Artemis, my love."

She turns to them right before they are met with the gate. She looks to him not saying anything as he grabs both of her hands.

"I will not be able to withstand from making you my queen for too much longer. So I am asking here... now. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
