Quite possibly the longest time I've spent planning something out. This easily could have been 20 pages, but I needed something done and up quickly. Originally planned to be uploaded at the start of 2017, its unsurprisingly done with 3 days to go in February.

Anyway, this is the start of a new series, new characters, same kinks. The sex is a small part of this one, but may be the most involved bit of work I've done so far.

I promise the next story will be 100% less incesty, maybe....

Special thanks goes to Protos for this one. Its always great to have someone to pre read all your mistake filled pages and turn it into something amazing


As the large silver male, known to many as Garatev, laid peacefully in his bed enjoying a midday slumber in the late part of autumn; His daughter, to which he had given the name "Mesalis", ran freely in the fields outside of her father's den. This land was commonplace to quite a few dragons of mixed company, but at the time only a blue-scaled aquatic female rested in the grasses, swapping between napping in the last rays of the sun, and idly munching on grass. She paid little heed to Mesalis' sprinting through the field, and hardly gave it thought beyond

"She has wings, why not use them.", before she could no longer be concerned with it anymore. Mesalis did not even notice the stuck-up female, despite her stark contrast to the reds and green of the open field. She had a father to see!

As she entered the mouth of her father's den she shrieked "Father!" as loudly as she could, in the hopes he would be roused as quickly as possible. Much to her dismay, Garatev remained stoic, and kept himself thoroughly not-roused from his comfortable bed. As Mesalis tore through the chambers of her father's cave the calling continued until she reached his sleeping den, where she stopped. Before she had a chance to ask if she was allowed to enter, her father lifted his head and ushered her in.

"Hello my love. What have you found that's of such great importance?"

"I found something that feels really really, really really really really good!" She said ecstatically as she danced around in place in front of her father.

Garatev smiled and laughed as he watched his daughter become physically unable to contain her happiness any further.

"Okay, okay, little one, show me what you found."

He began to raise himself from the bedding before he stopped in shock of what he was seeing. As soon as she'd heard her father confirm her to show off her new found skills she flopped to her side and curled up in place, moving both forepaws down between her legs and spreading her vagina as wide as it could go. She held herself in place while looking up to her father and waited for him to shower her in approval. Garatev had been frozen mid stance, and stared at his daughter, stunned at what the hatchling of only twelve years was showing him.

"Look at this! This feels so good!" She beamed in sheer joy, drawing out the syllables into moans of pleasure.

"You, um, that's," Garatev stumbled over the words as they fell out of his dropped jaw. He expected to say "Stop that at once!" but he was impeded by his mind screaming thousands of different words, so instead he just stared aimlessly over his daughter as her debauchery continued.

"Then, once I hold my vent like this for a bit, I can put things inside!"

Garatev tried to open his mouth to stop her, but finding that his jaw was already fully open, he became lost in the act going on in front of him and just made a low, pondering sound.

"Its perfect for my tail to fit in here!" she said, nearly shouting at this point before continuing "But father! Oh my spirits, it also tastes. So. Good!" she gushed as one entire word before driving her muzzle down between her legs and taking long hard licks across her gaping vent. Finally Garatev found some self control and yelled out her name

"Mesalis!" He stammered for a few seconds before finding the right words "S-stop, just-t, umm. Stop. Please, stop that." She popped her head up curiously, not able to tell whether her father was upset with her, or just playing a silly game where he pretended not to know what she was talking about.

"Why, Am i not supposed to enjoy this?"

"You aren't supposed to know about..." he trailed off "How do you know about this"

"Oh! Calasyx and Loraven were playing around when I went swimming with them. Loraven said I should leave. But I didn't want to, so I stayed after they went way underwater for a bit. Then when they came up on shore He was putting his fingers inside Calasyx's vent, and then he fought with her and put his malehood inside her! So then I wondered if my fingers could go in my vagina, and they can! So can my tail and.... Oh! And I'm sure your fingers could-"

"Mesalis! No!" her father exclaimed as he pulled his head away. His daughter recoiled and curled herself up as she held on to her tail. There was a long, tense silence before Garatev spoke again. "That kind of thing is for when you are older. It's... something your mother could explain better than me."

"But you said that mother-" She stared solemnly before being cut off again by her father

"She would talk to you again about this."

"Its that important?" she asked in pure innocence

"Yes" was all her father said before sitting down awkwardly

"So do i have to go find her right now?"

"No, Just... When you have time, and probably when you are older. For the time being, I'll explain a few things..."


208 years later

Garatev woke up with a long yawn and stretch, thoroughly flexing the joints in his back, then each arm, each leg and paw, before extending his wings the best he could. Then he quietly took stock of his situation.

His belly was full, he didn't feel any need to relieve himself, and the sun was high in the clouds. Judging from the angled light, it was just before midday, and there was plenty of time left to hunt.

He rolled himself onto his paws with a contented "Fuck it", and gave his body one more long stretch before flopping down spread eagle onto his bed, releasing a drawn out sigh. He was quickly back to sleep, this time for a shorter duration, before a less than happy "Father! Get your lazy, pathetic, good-for-nothing, ass out here this instant!" was bellowed through his cave from a voice he hadn't heard in nearly 80 years.

"Gods be damned." he muttered as he raised himself and padded slowly out to the mouth of his den. There he was met with his daughter, on what seemed like it was going to be less than good terms.

"Father!" she shrieked, before tackling her father to the ground and nuzzling him profusely.

"Gods above Mesalis, you haven't changed at all have you"

"Nope!" was her reply, before playfully biting her sire's neck and tugging gently. Garatev submitted to his daughters onslaught and rolled onto his back, letting her playfully swipe and bat at him. He gently returned a few blows to her flank as they rolled around the mouth of his cave.

After Mesalis settled from her initial blast of energy, she and her father talked for hours over food and beverage. The discussions ranged from politics, to what colours of fish tasted best, and after more drink, even dabbled into stories about sex. Given the chance to embarrass his daughter, Garatev couldn't help but bring up the things she did so innocently as a child that now seemed almost too ludicrous to be true. They talked late into the night for many nights in a row. At least when Mesalis wasn't spending time meeting with her old friends and getting back in touch with them.

She and her father quickly regained the common pleasantries they had shared in the past, and even now she would always sleep curled up in his embrace. Something comforting from her past rekindled old emotions that she'd held from her time as a hatchling, though this didn't make her sympathetic to the trouble she had enjoyed causing as a child, and she still loved to make a nuisance of herself by always taking all the room she needed and letting her father have what was left. She laughed whenever Garatev brought it up.

If either of her children had tried that kind of thing with her or their fathers they would have swiftly found themselves sleeping in a different den. She nosed at her father appreciatively, and offered to make a deal that if he widened his bed so that it was bigger than she was, then she would guarantee that she would leave him space every night. Garatev sighed and curled himself up against the wall while she rolled over and purposely sprawled across his bed.

A few nights into her stay she walked into her father's den to lay down for some well needed sleep. Her father was fast asleep on his side, snoring, and she bumped him "accidently" to end his slumber. Garatev rolled over and glared at his daughter who only smiled back and laid herself down. The male left her to commandeer his bed, and walked out into the night to gaze upon the stars and possibly find a place to sleep unbothered. The grass was wet, it was cold, even for a summer night, and the sun would no doubt be up so soon that sleeping outside was out of the question. He dragged himself back to his den and smiled as his daughter laid peacefully asleep. As expected, she had sprawled out to entirely cover the bedding, and draped her wings out to cover what little her body did not. Garatev grinned to himself and lowered his head down to her shoulder, and just when she woke, lifted his head and pushed her across the bedding, she scrambled up but he put his weight forward and pushed her completely over onto her back and lunged, pressing her against the wall. She scrambled in her half-asleep state before finding purchase against the wall, trying to scramble out of her father's grasp. She dove underneath him, and Garatev lowered himself and pinned her down quickly in response. She cried out in mock pain, but it fell onto the deaf ears of her father, who flashed a knowing grin. He kept his weight on her, pinning her hips down as she thrashed against him and whipped him with her tail. He grabbed the assaulting appendage and rolled himself over, holding it before pulling and tugging her up onto his chest. She scrambled off of him and stood facing him with an aggressive stance. Garatev laughed, rolled over and matched her stance. When they locked eyes she charged him and grappled his shoulder, putting all her weight into rolling him over. She pushed off of the ground and threw her shoulder into his chest just as his forepaws wrapped around hers. His heavier frame pinned her to the ground instantly.

Just as fast as it had started, she had been defeated.

Her father laughed triumphantly, and spread himself out to fully pin his daughter to the ground. She wailed and shuffled under him as his paws met her arms and legs to hold them down. As she felt her father press his teeth into her neck she shuddered, something she was sure he would notice, she shivered again nervously as to what Garatev might do next. Her father's only reaction was to gently nuzzle his daughter

"You never became much of a fighter huh?"

"You never lost any weight huh?" She shot back aggressively in an attempt to hide her nervousness. Garatev held his daughter down as she wrapped her paws around him and pulled herself into a hug. "You are the best father I've ever had."

"Wow, thanks" he muttered back, expressing his gratitude with utmost sarcasm.

He felt his daughter entwine her tail with his and they exchanged small nuzzles, he then lifted himself up to take the weight off of the female below him. He felt her pull her hind paws up around his hips and grind her groin into his before going stock still and looking away. She still held on tightly but stopped all motion save for her heartbeat. A silence filled the air and seemed to make the den quieter than Garatev could ever remember. He held himself still, and gave her ample time to let go of him if she wanted to, but she remained firmly attached under his body, then shivered tensely. Garatev had never considered himself ever in this situation. Sure it was normal for parents to train their children... in the act of mating, and some took it further than just simple demonstration, but...

Thoughts raced through his head, and he ultimately decided that if this was what she wanted, he wouldn't deny her advances. He lowered his head to hers and nosed her muzzle, then twisted his head around to face her and pressed his face forward into the first real kiss he'd had with his own daughter. She pulled back from the embrace and looked into his eyes. Tears started to from in her own deep emerald eyes before she snapped her head forward and greedily pulled her father into a long lustful kiss. She forced her tongue into his muzzle and grabbed at his body, letting go of his shoulders she moved her paws up to his neck and pulled him hard into kiss. After what seemed like minutes she let go, and let herself drop down below her father.

"H-how did you know?." she stuttered breathlessly. Garatev gently slapped their twined tails as his first response, before stating: "This, and you basically soaked my crotch. It's a dead giveaway at that point."

"Well, would you," she paused as she giggled trying to pick out the right word "Indulge me?"

Garatev nodded and pressed another small kiss onto his daughters muzzle before slowly working his way down her neck, he stopped every few inches to slather his tongue over her neck, backing himself up until he was licking over her chest and his forepaws were on either side of her hips. She slowly worked the tip of her tail along her father's flanks before running it down the inside of his thighs and along his slit, she was surprised to find no trace of an erection forming between her father's legs and looked into his eyes curiously. He met her gaze and placed a paw gently over her folds and looked back at her as if waiting for permission to continue.

She found her father's tail with her own and tugged gently on it. Garatev took notice and curled his tail under himself and guided hers straight along the slick underside of his gently erecting cock. She tensed up and slowly ran her tail over the length of his penis a few times, curiously feeling the ridges, and where the tip roughly dropped off into the rest of the shaft; The ridges that felt like a repeating cone shape along the length all the way to slit. As Garatev stepped forward and pressed his chest against hers. Mesalis' tail stayed on his cock, rubbing and caressing the shaft while he carefully pressed his fingers into her slit. His digits moved swiftly around her, caressing walls and watched her revel in the pleasure. Each point he touched sent sparks through every nerve in her body. Not wanting to spend time away from being inside her, he took his hand out of her in one motion and pushed her into the bed with his entire body. Once he covered her, Garatev put his muzzle back over hers and embraced in a long kiss before he pressed his head against her neck. Once her muzzle rested between his large horns he began to push into her vent. The tip slid smoothly in before she clenched down and gripped his cock tightly. She was able to feel every ridge, and it slid past each muscle in her vent. The pleasure raced up through her spine in one constant wave that threatened to never crash. She cried out and grasped desperately at her father, dragging small gouges into the smaller scales on his legs. As more of his shaft slid into her depths she frantically clawed at his shoulder cutting long thin lines through his scales and into his skin. Garatev held a small roar inwards and could hardly stop himself from ruthlessly fucking his daughter. Never had he imagined that his beautiful hatchling would be under him, receiving his malehood, and begging for him to be inside of her. Once he had pressed into the hilt he held himself, and for a brief second looked over their bodies, joined at the hips, father and daughter as one, each embracing the other and expressing the physical manifestation of their passion. Garatev began to thrust gently, moving himself in strong motions to gauge her reaction. As Mesalis looked into his eyes she whispered "Hard" and gripped his leg until she drew blood. He was happy to oblige.

Garatev slammed himself down on her once, hard, before pulling back and throwing his weight onto her, Mesalis screamed and roared out her pleasure as she bit at his neck while her claws drew fast sweeps across his body, their rough sex drew their bodies together and within seconds they had moved into an intense rhythm. With each pull of his shaft from her depths she clenched down on him, while he drove himself back in she met his hips with a fury of her own. The calm and love the two had shared was gone, primal need and raging lust taking over their actions with ferocious intensity. Garatev moved to bite his daughter's neck as she screamed his name, and as his teeth found her sinuous body she slashed him across his large chest plates, driving him to bite harder in reflex. Screams erupted from the female as her father drove himself into her body, lingering suspicions of climax grew rapidly before it hit her in force. She clenched down on his shaft as hard as she could while her body exploded, and every sense erupted in an overcharge of feeling. The teeth in her scales ignited a fire that burned across her body, the darkness of her closed eyes shooting vivid images though her body of what she was feeling, smell and sound creating the trigger for her primal unconscious lust to overwhelm any conscious thought and compounded her need to be bred by her sire. As Garatev hit his first climax Mesalis was coming back down to reality, he lifted and paw and struck her across the muzzle with fresh cuts on her face as lasting evidence, she swiftly rolled with the strike and snapped her neck up to meet his paw, sharp teeth met the soft underside of his paw and instantly cut deep, he recoiled as his orgasm shot through his body, throwing his weight back down he pushed his head directly against her throat and held her down. His penis throbbed and seed raced through it with tremendous speed, erupting into her vent and being reinforced by wave after wave of rife seed that poured from his body and into hers. He unleashed a screaming roar of emotions, pain, pleasure, love, and a burning need for more combined in his soul to create the true essence of what his draconic mind sought. He stopped momentarily, his laboured panting echoed by his child below him yet he pressed on, forcing himself to push on and continue their mating. Her objections were met with a defiant push back down, she pulled herself away only to be pulled back, and as she swatted at his face with a rake of claws she was met with a sharp blunt impact of his paw standing on her wing. She screamed out in pain and sank her teeth hard into her father's chin, her fangs met scales which gave way to skin before the motion ceased, if she pulled her jaw any tighter, she could end him. Both dragons held their suspended movement and silence fell on their act before she spoke.

"If you stop, I will end you."

Garatev threw his head down and jerked back to release himself from her grip, he threw his paws in the air and slammed them down upon her chest. Her scream fell short as she lost breath and he took the advantage. Fully pulling himself from her depths he roared and snarled at her. In her state she tried to compose a retaliation strike, but he was too fast. He struck her again, only glancing his claws on her neck before he shoved his entire length back through her. Both dragons roared their lusts into aural dissonance, Garatev looked into her eyes and she followed his sight with her own. He quickly attacked her muzzle and kissed her, Mesalis' paws wrapped themselves around his shoulders and she worked herself against him, both greedily seeking their next orgasm they forced thier bodies to thier limits. Hard deep thrusts continued for only a short burst before the dragons hit a synchronous climax. With nothing left to give they both immediately gripped each other as hard as possible trying to hold every inch of their bodies together, breaths were frantic and laboured before the pair erupted in a chorus of screaming, roaring and explosion their emotions into the air around them. Garatev's seed flowed in thick streams into his daughter as her vaginal walls clenched and released of their own accord before she could get control and work herself along his shaft. Hearing her father's helpless moans pushed her actions, and she tried to work him harder and harder after he had no more to give. All that was left was the softening shaft that let forth a stream of her conceptive seed, which spilled out from her and flowed across the lighter scales of herself before joining the rest of their combined aftermath on her father's bed.

As Garatev collapsed he held his daughter in his arms her descending breathing pulled him closer to the darkness of sleep. The soft rise and fall of his chest over her body pushed waves of relaxation over his body, to the ebb and flow of her breaths Garatev closed his eyes and fought against the grips of sleep in a feeble attempt to get every second of time with his daughter.

Soon he lost the inevitable battle, and faded from reality as he embraced his child. Shortly after, he emerged in a warm field of long wild grasses, bathed in sun and a slight warm breeze blowing across his face. Garatev stood up feeling refreshed and energized, he felt surprised at the feelings he had in this dream, everything felt more surreal than usual, and his wings felt nearly weightless as he spread them and let the tips of the grasses brush over the soft membranes of his wings. Across the horizon several large trees towered into the cloudless sky disrupting the pure azure expanse. Mesalis shot up from the grasses howling out in playful joy as she swooped over the heads of the long field blades, Garatev tipped his head back and bellowed out a baritone roar which was quickly answered by a shrill screaming hatchling roar before she took flight and spiraled into the skies. Her father quickly shot off the ground and sailed upwards effortlessly. His body felt lighter than the air itself, as if he could rise and fall by force of will. The ground expanded out as far as he could see, and the higher he climbed, the more the world seemed to expand under him. Caught up in the splendor of the incredible dream world, he let himself soar higher into the sky, unbound by gravity or any other real world forces he had the liberty to move himself through the sky at will. Wherever he flew his daughter trailed behind him sometimes coming within a wingspan of him before crying out he joy through the skies and spiraling back down towards the earth. The open field eventually gave way to towering mountains, sheer cliffs and craggy plateaued lands erupted in stark contrast to the airy savannah lands Garatev woke up in. He lowered himself towards the peaks and circled the summits of the treeless mountains, riding the gentle updrafts and cutting clean through the descending winds until he found himself landing on a small sundrenched outcropping. The stone was warm and inviting, and under his paws the ground did not feel rough or uncomfortable, but seemed to fit perfectly to his body without resisting him. Sleep came to him with overwhelming speed, he held off for just long enough to see his daughter sail above him, still calling out her happiness for all the world to hear. Garatev closed his eyes and let sleep overcame him again as a smile formed on his lips. He was certain at this point his daughter and himself were the only two beings in the world, but he was more than happy to keep that secret to himself.

Many hours later Garatev awakened from his sleep. He laid alone on his bed alone, and cold. He stretched his tired limbs and propped himself up before stretching out his back and wings. Footfalls were heard echoing out through his den, certain they belonged to a female the male dropped himself onto his back and splayed himself out, leaving nothing to the imagination of whoever would enter his sleeping chamber. However, it was not his daughter as he was expecting. But rather a neighbouring female named Aska. She slinked her way into his chamber and was immediately greeted with an eyefull of the posing male. Garatev shuddered for a second before the wave of smug satisfaction crashed and brought in a shock of embarrassment and shame. He threw himself over to his feet as fast as possible keeping the frills of his crest pinned firmly to his head and nearly holding his tail in his forepaws. She walked in the room and acted like she was trying to keep her long fur out of the mess on the ground, glaring at the sheepish male and circling him before standing at his head and awaiting a response. Garatev looked up to meet her gaze, not knowing what to expect. But a small kiss to his forehead alleviated the humiliated male before she broke the silence.

"Someone got laid last night." She stated bluntly. Garatev stood himself up and uncoiled his tail from under himself before nuzzling into Aska's embrace.

"Yeah, kinda" He meeped before she pressed her nose against his own and huffed into his face

"You are so pathetic." She muttered sarcastically

"What!?" He asked bewilderedly before scoffing "Females", and sulking out of his den

"Was it good" Aska chided as she trotted after him "You two sure made a heck of a mess"

"Aska!" he shouted as he spun around to face his friend.

She looked him straight in the face and smiled. "Mmmm, well that is your specialty" she chided as she gave him a long lick across the face. "I've never left unsatisfied." Garatev moaned her name as he lifted his head and pressed into aska with a small kiss. The two walked in step out onto the dewy grass in the mouth of Garatev's cave.

Both dragons shivered as the crisp morning wind rushed under their wings. Aska pressed herself against the male as he puffed himself up and pulled his wings in close.

"This isnt the summer I was expecting." She muttered before stopping and nudging at Garatev's neck. He held his step and looked at her face, her expression betrayed the fact she was about to give bad news and Garatev turned a shade of somber. "I want to go back home..." she trailed off before continuing. "I want to know if there still may be something left. If I-"

"No." Garatev stepped away from her after his blunt interruption. "You know there is nothing left. You will only meet the same death and despair as before" Aska tried to interrupt but was countered by the male raising his voice and encroaching her, "It's gone. Everyone is dead. You can't keep dwelling on this." Aska swiped at his feet but he stood firm on his ground. She turned away and walked off into the trees. Garatev roared out to her as she tried to walk away from him. "Get back here. Now!"

She bared around to face him before stepping up to his face and spit with sheer poison in her voice "I. Hate. You." before throwing herself off the ground in front of Garatev and taking to the skies. He watched her ascend and considered following, but he knew she would not go further than her den. He sulked back into his home and dropped his head down just inside the mouth of the cave.

"Gods above, it does just reek of sex in here." Garatev dropped his body to the cold floor and sulked to himself. Aska had given nearly everything to defend her lands. If he were any stronger he would be the one out there searching for her family, he shivered thinking about what he would do given her situation. "It's wrong of me to scold her for looking for her child." he lifted himself up and started towards her den, it would be a long walk, but would give them both enough time to collect themselves before talking with her again.

The forest would continue to block the dim first light of morning for a few hours, and as the sun crested the mountains the rays beamed into the forest and illuminated the canopies of the behemoth evergreen trees. Small animals scurried along the forest floor, seemingly unafraid of the dragon as the deer and larger prey creatures ran for their lives at first sight of the looming figure. As the miles of forest passed under his feet Garatev came to the foot of the bluff that had been cut into to build some sort of gigantic home, now it was Aska's den. He took a few small steps and launched himself up onto an outcropping before jumping onto a massive cedar and clawing himself up the tree to the entrance of her cave. He sighed to himself and slinked his way into her home, somberly padding through the immaculately carved stone halls. Sounds of running water and gentle winds filled his ears, but no traces of another dragon remained. The hallowed halls gave way to the expansive sleeping chamber Aska had carved for herself. He walked the steep steps down to her bed and found not only is friend in tears, but his daughter consoling the desolate female. Mesalis was gently running her claws though Aska's fur, in some places she had put some small twists in the fur along her neck. Some patterns she closed off with small beads of wax from nearby candles, others were already put in with clips and pins made by human hands . Strewn in front of them were the last of her brothers possessions, small trinkets, gems and coins that were all she could salvage from her family's den after the attacks that took their lives. Garatev approached them and was met with a terese growl from his daughter. As he began to speak Mesalis rose from the bedding and stepped over Aska to stop her father

"The nerve you have of coming here is beyond me. Leave at once, and do not return here until you are forgiven for your disgusting actions." Mesalis stared into her father's eyes, the unbridled contempt burned into his soul and flooded him with despair. The father and daughter stared into eachothers eyes, both unblinking and unwilling to stand down before Aska broke the tension.

"He is forgiven," She said plainly "He would not come here if not to apologize." Mesalis stepped down and returned to Aska's side, gently nuzzling her as she draped a protective wing over the other female.

"I am here to apologize, I'm sorry for reacting the way I did. You aren't mine to command."

"But it speaks volumes that you still keep me protected like I am your mate."

Aska stood up and walked over to Garatev before bowing her head to him. He was slightly taken back by the submissive gesture and nuzzled her cheek before she raised her head, he then moved his nose under her chin and pushed her head higher,

when he was confident she wouldn't let it drop back down he moved his head back down and let hers rest higher than his

"I will not let anything happen to you. And regardless of what it means to you to search for what is left there, im not letting you be lost to another generation." Aska looked away shamefully and held her head back down. Leaning in close, Garatev whispered to her, "My daughter, will not lose her mother again." At hearing that, Aska dropped to the floor, and tears flowed forth from her eyes as she sobbed. Mesalis rose up and stood defensively behind Aska, the fire in her eyes burned as her claws scraped into the floor. In that moment she was prepared to attack her father, she held herself down, waiting for any excuse to unleash her fury upon him. Aska had been the only motherly influence Mesalis had ever had, even if it was only for a few decades. Even if it was later in her life, the two formed an intense bond very quickly and typically regarded each other as if they were mother and daughter. As Aska laid on the floor in tears, Mesalis stayed intent on her father. She stepped over the elder female and approached him. Garatev backed up to make room for her as she continued to hiss and growl at her sire. He eventually submitted to his daugher and stood down. She kept herself separating him and Aska, but turned her back to the male in a show of disrespect.

As the hours passed the elder dragons eventually fell asleep, confident that Aska wouldn't wake Mesalis stood up and roused her father with a sharp jab to the nose. He shuddered at the impact and groggily faced his child. She grabbed him by a horn and hauled him up to his feet before walking past him and out of Aska's den. As he followed her he noticed that she carried none of the youthful joy in her stride that had been there the previous day. Before they reached the open world she stopped in her tracks and turned to face her father.

"Hope..." She spoke with a harsh rasp and no emotion in her voice "Is the only thing she has left. How dare you condemn her for that."

"Death would leave her with nothing."

"You are so insensitive. If you had lost me, would you not be searching for me?"

"If I had witnessed your death, in my own eyes. I would mourn and pray for you, but I would not risk my life when I am the last soul that carries your memory."

"You dont know what it's like to carry a life inside you. Raise it as your own, and have that life that you created taken from you".

"I am not contesting that, I know that you would not put your life above your child's. But even you would not disagree with what I've told her."

"Must what you say bring her to tears every time?"

"Mesalis, I do not care what it takes. She is not going back there, the last time she tried to go back she was far worse off than when she left.

Mesalis thought upon his point and gently stepped towards her father.

"I suppose I shouldn't have been as upset with you as I was. There are far worse things in this world that a disagreement over the past." Garatev offered a small gesture to her and she briefly nuzzled into his neck before stepping back. "Perhaps I just need time to think over my last few days. To say it's been emotional would be a horrific understatement." Garatev leaned into nuzzle his daughter back before she snuck one more comment in "You were the best I've ever had." Then she pulled back and started to walk off into the forest, "I should Go. You be with Aska when she wakes. Ill hunt for us tonight."
