Is it the path of your species or fate that you follow your predecessors path? What if you knew that path ended in one way no matter what you did? Would you accept it and enjoy it all you can or will you fight against it. Defy it to your last. That is the questions David the vampire demon faced every day. The sixth child of the supreme overlord, the ruler of all demons, he is considered by most of his siblings to be the weakest. Yet he is smart and cunning. This gets him in trouble as he is soon thrown out of his fathers good will and into the wild with nothing more than a suitcase full of belongings, the deed to an undeveloped realm and a single infant dragon. What he does will change the verse of realms for all time. For good or nill is still to be seen.

This is the end. My life will be over soon and most likely my soul will be captured and drained to nothingness. After I am done being raped for his amusement my death will be as certain as David's. Who's dead eyes watch as I am helpless to do anything. How did this happen? Why did it? Jealousy? No, David was given nothing to his brother. He built this netherworld from a wilderness as he inherited his. Envy? Perhaps. David was not powerful nor highly respected as a demon. Yet his followers were truly devoted to him. Almost as much as the followers of the divine are to theirs. Near incorruptible. It could be to be sure no legitimate challenge for supreme overlord happens. Despite the claim being given up. Why? The why does not matter now. He is dead and I will soon be too. Everything built over the last number years for nothing. " Oh, Luna you are so good. Why did you stop struggling? It made it so much better. Why don't you move some more." Xolrum pulled back on my arm behind my back. " Stupid male. The only way you get hard is in combat and torture." He starts licking my neck and pulls on my arm again. Dislocating it. He pushed in me further as I yelled in pain. " You are enjoying this as much as me Luna. Admit it. I feel you enjoying it as I am in you." I lay my head back down while his bulk keeps me down. How did this happen? To know that we must start at the beginning.

Chapter one- In the Beginning

The supreme overlord shadow looks at the report in his hand of one of his spawn. " David this is the third time you have been sent home being caught doing your homework." The smaller demon grinned his teeth before responding. " I was doing every ones homework. To keep unanimity of the report I had to do something with my name on it." The supreme overlord looked at the doodle of a dragon. " David I have no time for these trivial matters but I can not let such a thing go. So I will give you a choice. You can go back to school and if you are expelled one more time I will destroy you."

The lesser demon gulped to the others comment. " Or I will cast you off with what inheritance I deem you worthy right now." David considered his option quickly. " And I would get if I choose the latter?"

A table with a title and a dragons egg appeared between them. Within moments it hatched and the new dragon ate it's shell and laid down to rest. This was a fraction of a fraction of what he is to get. Armies, a whole dominion, and a mountain of treasure. David looks at the title. It was a small underworld realm. But not terribly small. One very fitting to the spawn of an overlord. Not one of the supreme overlord however. Time was short. He had to choose now. " And of anything in my room?"

The supreme overlord leaned forward to look at his spawn. " One suitcase. Whatever you can fit into this." A small travel bag was on the table beside the resting dragon. David looked at the option and then at the clock. David knew he would be sent home again. It has been only sixteen years sense the semester started. He knows he can not be sure not to get into trouble again. As the last seconds drew closer to being over David picked up the title again and put it in the suitcase before taking the young dragon as well and left to go.

David looked at the dragon as it laid on what once was his room's bed. He knew nothing of the creature other than being fully grown it was formidable. He looked threw his bookshelf for anything of use. Mostly full of manga and video game cheat books. Both never read. However hidden amongst the things a young demon such as himself are expected to read he looks for one of the books he stole from the school library during his first year. Most use such knowledge for tp. Not him. He finds the cover of the manga book cover he hid it in and brung it out and put it in the suitcase beside the watching dragon. He packs his favorite dagger and real food he keeps in the mini-fridge. Not the sweets and snackings he eats for his meals. He put a bunch of it in front of the dragon just to be sure it did not get it in it's head to eat anything packed. He barely noticed it bow it's head grateful before returning to his preparation to leave.

David compressed the suitcase down with his power before having it closed the same way. The dragon hopped on David's shoulder and he picked it up by the chest and looked at it yelp at him displeased of being removed. " Lets make one thing clear now pet. I am the master and you are the pet. I'm the one to make you do things not you use me as you see fit." The dragons response was to belch some fire on his face. Nothing hotter than the lowest levels of fire spells but an act of defiance. He considered drop kicking it but that would not be wise to do to a gift from his father while still in the supreme overlord's own dwelling. David stemmed his anger as he dropped the dragon and it caught wing before getting to low and flew back to his shoulder. " Whatever."

David then left the room and went to where the portal is. Surprising his father was there watching in person, or another image of his real self. David looks at him oddly happy. His father must consider him a bigger threat than he thought. David had the servant put in the coordinates and this was goodbye. " Ehhh, who knows. I might manage to gather enough power to overthrow the one of my brothers right after he overthrows you."

The supreme overlord scratched the top of the dragons head on his son's shoulder. " Always the schemer. Looking at the endgame. You were always good like that. I look forward to the day your sibling fails and you are caught with your pants down in surprise seeing me still around." David was oddly happy to hear that. A battle for the ages and he would have front seats to watch it. Then wiping the floor with whoever is victor. " Till then." David said as he went threw the portal and arrived at a heavily forested area. No village, no houses, not even a path. " What the hell. There is nothing here." David looked back threw the portal just in time to see his old man smirking and it closed. " Son of a @#$%^!"

The dragon left David's shoulder amazed to see him loose fireball after fireball at the portal stone. After calming down he saw the dragon spraying it's small amount of fire breath in the same direction. " Well now let us look for something."

The dragon nodded and leaps and flapped it's wings before landing on the demons shoulder again. The dragon was happy to not be disturbed from it's perch once more. It seemed hours of walking and they came to a cave. David looked around and saw the sun about to rise and decided to take a look inside. He lit a few floating fireballs to see and was amazed how much room it had and how perfect his luck was as well. When he came to a split the dragon jumped off of his shoulder and went down the left path. David shrugged his shoulder and went down the right. He did not have to go far as it ended with a cavern with a crevice.

Obviously someone had been there a long time ago. Used the place for temporary shelter. By the ancient fire pit and shattered rags. " It will do." David got to work. Transforming the dank area into his new home. First he lit the fire and had it never burn out. Then the bed. " This will not do at all. More of a desk." David rubs his chin. " For a tv. Yes, that will work." He then turns round. His power was fading. He had the strength to change one more thing. Comfort? No, secure the basics. Food, water, shelter, security, power. A forest was just outside and he had enough food for a day. That can wait. Water in a cave is common. He can be sure to have a source clean next time he has the power to. Shelter is obvious as he is in a cave. The end of one. As for power all he needs is rest and some nourishment. So his question to himself was what is the best way to set up his security.

A wall or traps. A wall is simple and purely defensive. Easy to make and best to keep animals out. Traps might get him an easy meal but they will be more difficult and possible a threat to himself if he screws it up. The choice was obvious. At the entrance to the cavern he started crafting a solid wall with an opening for a door. He strained the last few moments crafting the light door from the dirt under him. Almost immediately after starting to admire his work he heard scratching.

The damn dragon. He forgot about it. For a moment he considered leaving it out there but the young dragon was an investment. " Fine." David could not risk using any more of his powers until after he rested so he did the only other thing he could and moved the door with his physical body. It rushed in and set the rats it had in it's jaws down by the fire. David reset the door and looked at the dragon's bloody head. It must have already had it's meal. David picks one of the rats up and bites it's head off and chews the whole thing. " Not bad."

He then sets down against the caves wall and starts staring at the fire. " I'm really on my own now. Only you and me." David watched as the dragon moved under his hand and he starts rubbing it's back gently. This creature was odd. So young but so loyal. What did it expect from him. How is it going to influence his decisions. Then he came up with another question he had yet to think of. " What will I call you dragon?"

Chapter two- Getting started

David opened his eyes and noticed the dragon awake looking at him at his side. It took a few days but he finally made the cave his place of security and comfort. The dragon hopped off the bed as David raised. He looked at the unpacked suitcase and was amazed how short his planned supplies lasted. At least he still had his money. He flicked on the tv by pointing at it as he went to a sink filled with water. Hygiene is not important for a demon but the water felt nice to waking him up further quickly. He noticed the dragon sitting watching the cartoon quietly. It had grown some sense they got there. By a few inches at least over the last week. " Time to go."

The dragon looked away before climbing to all four of it's walking limbs and went behind David as he left the room. The dark passage was still a dark dank passage but there will be no changing that. David had considered using the dragons life force in crafting his new home but that might affect it's growth and abilities later in it's life. Even if it was willing to contribute that was too much a risk. David felt it cling on his shoulder as he walked. It did not take long for them to come out the entrance of the cave. The last thing he did the night before was make a mailbox.

Every leader of a dominion needs one. Even if it was a dominion of one. He opens it and sees three letters. He takes them out and looks threw them. One was from the minion guilds, the next the dragon caretaker league, and the last from his father. He opened that one first. You are set for a month. That is all it said. He looked at it a moment in puzzlement and put the letter in the back to read the next one.

Hello new owner of a dragon,

Hello new owner of a dragon. Us at the dragon breeding and welfare offices noticed you came into possession of a dragon without proper training for it so a trainer will be sent to you shortly. They will review the living conditions and current physical state and education of the dragon. If not met to satisfactory then the dragon will be taken away and you be sued. Have a nice day.

Vuirty of the WCL new hatching div.

Voiced not written.

David looks at the letter again a little worried but soon thought there was nothing to worry about. So he dismissed it and started reading the last.

Welcome new dominion owner.

We got notice from the previous owner of transfer and have made arrangements of a low level shop to be delivered to your new town as soon as it is made.

As well as that a crew has been hired and paid already to clear some land and build structures.

But first we will need to solidify plans for your town.

Encased in the letter is a capsule filled with a few various maps of your dominion and suggested placements and options of town structure.

The first month of construction is paid for but after that will be billed to your new lord account set up with us. As well one year of minion dues have been paid to the company.

Thank you for choosing us as you had no other options.

From those at the Minion Guild new customer support and billing.

P.S. Thirty minutes after this letter is open a contractor will be coming to meet you.

David looked at the note and did some quick math. " Great." He said as a rather large dragon landed in front of him.

The new dragon looked at the young one in front of him on the demons shoulder. " I assume from the WCL." The dragon focused on the demon. " Correct demon. All Wyrm Caretaker League ranking members are dragons or other greater wyrm. I am here to review current conditions." The dragon on David's shoulder jumped off and landed gently on the ground. " For a demon he has been very kind so far. Although he greatly misunderstands our relationship, it is at the beginning of it and the perception can easily be changed. I currently stay with him as his size and abilities better protect me as we rest however I have my own area I am preparing as he is his. As for my education I am talking."

The large dragon looked over the young one. " So you are. You are well nourished and growing properly. I will review your living conditions first claw before deciding however if you can continue assisting this demon. Come along. I will need a guide." David looked at the last letter again. " I have another meeting and will be busy." The large dragon looked at the demon as if she did not care for that detail and the young one started moving away. David felt insulted by the lack of respect but knew he could not get away with being rash. Calm and collected. Vengeance at a later date. Look at the long term. Keep to the basics for the immediate time.

David watches them go into the cave and made a table and chair as well as a pair of torches. With practice comes better power. It is slow but a firm and sure way and all David had at the moment is time. At least another three hundred and fifty years before his siblings graduate. By then he will have a full grown and trusting dragon at his side. David opened the capsule with the maps and such and looked them over on the table he just made. Immediately he noticed them very inaccurate. As they show the portal stone and the cave by each other. Then he noticed the distance markers. The land grant was huge. Much more than he first thought by the title. When he choose his choices he was being looked at by a female humanoid fighter. " So did you choose yet? I get paid by the hour and the longer we linger the more I paid."

David considered commenting like a demon but that will be a waste of time. " This here." He takes a town layout and points to a decent spot for a town. Nearby to both him and the portal stone, near a water source, and on level ground. As well to access to plenty of wood and a road for stone can be easily made to a prime spot for a quarry. She takes a whistle and blows it. Dozens of various types of monsters and minions appear behind her. " Earn your pay. Or I'll give each of you a good knocking while I chat with the client. Clear the land and prepare for it to be turned into a town."

As soon as she was done talking they left to hopefully get to work as fast as they came for the whistle. She then shoved David from the chair. She took out some maps and such and started looking over them. David stood and was about to kick her out of his seat but stopped at her looking at him. " So boss man. I got to get details. Building material and worker camp." David felt defeated but pointed to the area map. " Right here is a quarry sight to be made."

He then made a circle on the map. " Clear this for lumber. As for all else whatever is excess in lumber and stone can be traded or sold then the money used to buy metal and such. Unless you wish to devote resources to here." He points to an area heavy and rich in ore. " Of course roads to both areas be made in any case." She looks at the map. " Roads cost extra."

David felt like punching the extortion but had an idea. " You keep whatever basic unused resources for yourself. If you also clear some land for farming?" The fighter class minion looked at David and he saw a look on her like he wanted to do moments ago. " Any unused resource you say?" David almost hesitated. " If the jobs are done proper and of resources of extra wood or fine stone cut in excess but unneeded then yes, and if you do not over cut on purpose."

She looks at the map again. Something she saw but David did not caught her eye. " I believe that is agreeable." She sticks out her hand to solidify the agreement but David was no fool. She was going to play him the moment she could. " We will do this proper." She started to grind her teeth in loosing her mark. David made an exact copy of the map they were overlooking and David made clear lines of what where and how on it.

Then on the back he wrote the agreement they had just made. She could not welch on the promise as she put her blood oath on it as the demon had. It still meant more pay but more work as well. " Well then. I'll leave to your duties foreman." David looked over the map. Very happy to have his own copy with details. It will come in handy when he starts getting workers for those areas he wants to mine.

David came across the two dragons in discussion and the young one notices him and gets on his shoulder. " We must have a talk David." David rubbed under the young dragons mouth and she shook him away. " Well now. Aren't you a little serious now. Fine let us talk. I am a demon and you are a dragon. What is our relationship going to be? Tell me dragon when has a dragon ever ordered a demon around as you are presuming to me."

David looked at the saddened look of the dragon on his shoulder. " I thought you had no answer to that. I help you now because I expect that help be returned later. But I can not expect you to be trusted if that is all." The dragon looked up into the demons eyes. " Let it be left at I no longer see you as a pet. You show you are worth more trust than I have been giving so I will do this."

David bit into his thumb and put a bloody thumbprint on the dragons forehead. " One time. Of any time of your choosing I will heed your command. No matter what it is as long as it will not kill you or me knowingly." David lifted his thumb and healed it and was surprised how happy the dragon looked at the unwarranted blood oath.

As his blood was absorbed into the dragon to seal the pact he noticed the young dragon grow stronger. Much stronger in power than before. It was not his essence that was making the dragon stronger. Not as he understands it. No, it was getting stronger on it's own. As soon as the pact was fully sealed the dragon had grown slightly in size as well. Not very much but enough for it's bulk and weight to be noticed by the demon. " Then I command you to name me."

Chapter three- A name

David looked at the large dragon watching them. What was going on? A name holds power. David had to give an honest and purely truthful response. That is the cost of his decision. Why would this dragon waste such an opportunity. Then it came to the demon. Your name is the key to your soul. This dragon had just forced David to bound her soul to his and his hers. Such a dirty trick. No, that is not the reason why the dragon did it. It was not seeking power. It was wanting equality. To give the dragon a name under such conditions he must acknowledge equality.

He is a demon and had been trapped by a dragon. David wanted to curse but could not. He had to give a name. A name he could not. They were watching and waiting. Till a name is given he could do nothing. Frozen in a moment till he starts doing as ordered. To give a name would mean giving away his own in exchange. Only for a moment but what would happen in that moment will chance everything. " Come on demon. I do not have all day."

David looked at the older dragon. It was a threat. It was wanting to take the opportunity. When David will be most exposed he would be hers. David could not give conditions. Only a name. David could not stop thinking of a name. Only make it take longer as he thought about the dragon on his shoulder. The dragon that was a she. Lindias, Porle, Amanda, Brennan no those are not a fit. The dragon was loyal. Teana, Zoalaxia, Carpender no those are not faithful enough. It was wise. Seeing how afraid David is of the large dragon. Moondia Luncia no but close.

" Yes." The small dragon said as it looked into the demons eyes. Threw the doorway of the soul. " I am Luna and we are bound now demon." The oath was now done. The large dragon was too late to strike. Wanting a verbal response. But Luna was much wiser than she led the other to be. All David wanted to do is ring the dragons neck but all he could do is stroke it. His sadistic nature was repressed. Until he took another dragon by the neck. " Is there anything else? If not then get the hell out you @#$%^." The words were not cast in David's voice but Luna's despite he wishing to say them. Equality. The dragon did not expect such a jolt of demonic personality. The large dragon wasted no time in getting out of the grip of the demon. After going back to the room to contemplate David had not realized the dragon no longer on his shoulder but watching tv and he rested.

The strain of soulbinding on them both will not easy to be recovered from. David knew this. Yet it brung advantages as well. Soulbinding the dragon was something David would not do on normal circumstances and definitely on his terms but as they were now neither had any advantage. They each were young. The advantages could not be used till many years of practice and training on the bond but it is the weakened state David was in now that he thought about. He could not longer craft items from other material.

Not as strongly as he once did. He will be weak and drained for years. On the other hand he had time. Time and more to recover and bend the dragon back to his will. If it could be done at all. No, he is the one that gave her the ability to do this to him. She made them have the bond. He could never be master as he hoped. But an equal. Yes, an equal. She wanted equality then she will get it. David pointed at the tv and it went black and he was signaling the dragon to come to him as he rested weakened. " We are not done talking Luna."

She rests on his chest and he knows as well as her he can not intentionally bring her harm. Even removing her would have to be done to her advantage or return after a few moments. " I admit. You got me. Well played into my scheming ways. I admit I did not see it coming. However you played a very dangerous game with that other dragon." Luna looked into the demons eyes once more. Their souls were not locked to the other now. " Game? All I wanted is a name and a friend."

David raised his hand and actually wished to pat her back. " A name I would have eventually given you. As for friend." David stopped. He could not lie. She would know the truth from the bond the moment he tried to lie about it. He had no intentions to friend anything. Only use to his advantage. But friendships can be done that way as well. " I am a demon and you a dragon. A tool I wished to use to further my own agendas." Luna sat up strait and David continued to rub the dragons back. Massaging it. " You are not the only one with an agenda you know."

David set up and forced the bed under him to adjust despite how much effort it took to do that little bit. " I am a demon. I crave power and followers. You are a dragon. With me you would be getting what every dragon wants. Wealth." Luna hopped off of the demon's chest from the odd angle and jumped and glided to the table before turning around. By then David was sitting upright. " Those would be nice but I do not want them as much as I want." She stopped. Was she trying to hide her intentions as well? David thought as he wickedly smiled. " Not that easy is it?"

Luna jumped off the table and intended to attack the demon but she did nothing but glide to be caught. " Oh, you stupid dragon. We can not lie to each other now. Not after what you did to us. At best you can keep your secrets. As I do." Luna opened her mouth to breath fire but all that came out was a displeasing yelp. David thought it amusing as he sat her down in his lap. Then stroked her neck. " We are equal now Luna. Your power is the same to mine and we will always balance even. Until one of us are dead." Luna started to tater David's clothing over his nether region and the intent was not clear as she soon took a position of comfort. " Fine. I messed up. Now what?"

David thought over the humor and shrugged his shoulders. " We agree on something. This area is mine. Whatever is here is mine and not yours unless under permission of yours to be here or yet to be divided. That other area you have been going to will be yours. Under the same terms but for you. Agreed?" Luna looked up at David and laid her head down. The strain of the soulbinding were starting to affect her as well. David watched as she nodded, yawned and went to sleep. Without realizing it he noticed himself smiling. The why he could not figure out. He was enjoying this dragons company. He is not suppose to enjoy any company. He could not move her now. His limbs were numb. All David could do is close his eyes as well.

When Davis woke again he stretched his arms wide. He then stood and went to the sink and splashed his face with cold water. Then he recalled he did not turn on the tv and was about to when he noticed it already on and the dragon watching it. " How did?" The dragon looked away from the underworld weather report and jumped off the table. " I had a clicker made. Those minions really know how to work when they are paid."
