My Life as a Dragon Slave

Book 2 Chapter 10 Pt. 1

What lies in the end, no one knows.

What lies beyond, can be anyone's guess.

What will wait for us is a matter of choice.

What will be our next fate, is an enigma.

Our only chance we have in life is one,

The only chance we have to use it wisely is one.

Its the only one we have.

So... today was the day. The day where John got to bring in Nliyn's family. Was there a reason to be nervous? I wasn't even sure because we already have the oddset of families here, with Mencor and Alaya, Rava and Carn, and my family.

Mencor and Alaya have all but been forgotten about in the last few months. More or less they kept to themselves like quite neighbors and it was... sad to say the least that they may never open up. Knowing them they will try for another hatchling however, I think that with their daughter's memories still fresh on their minds and her grave not to far away, they will hold it off until they feel ready, whenever that may be.

The twins more or less, have stayed to themselves as well but they have come down often enough. I even tried to speak to them but, for all reasons they feel ashamed or sorrowful for their actions, the feelings that they had or lack of betrayed mine, my family's and even John's trust. Not once had John felt angry nor had even shown resentment to them but they seem to think so. So they mostly kept to themselves, only stepping out of the house at night.

So that left my family. My mother and father have blamed themselves for what I've been through, all be it that I agreed with them. The procedure has left me a bit... dispirited and unbalanced. Kila is the one that gets me up in the morning... literally. She would pull on my wings, tails... group me on my swollen breasts and try to get a rise out of me. It worked and she would often push me around to get to anywhere. To make breakfast, to do the chores, to sit down and watch T.V. with my siblings and more.

The time that has left me to my thoughts, did however allow me to continue where I left off on the files of Draco Watch. Skimming was done over a few of the files, at least, the less interesting ones, I did however end up finding more and more info to the outside world.

Far as it goes, this country and select few, very few, carry our kind and have them as slaves. Fewer than those few have free dragons or are under watched. This country's first plan was to have us weaponized but has very few successful attempts. If it was anything to go by the twins, we were to be put in front lines, take out the enemy as much as we could, via elemental or viscous attacks. I stopped reading after there were videos of dragons being surgically implanted with weapons, tortured to endure pain and much worse.

From there, I saw that the allies or at least, those whom don't support Dragon Slavery are considered terrorists or cast outs. They either operate by raiding a Dragon facility and setting or stealing dragons from there and setting them free. However, it has been known that they would attack only low populated areas to avoid heavy collateral damage or much unwanted attention. Their last attacks were six months ago and haven't been heard from since.

But Draco Watch was the peaceful version, rather trying to free us all through legal and saver means. One thing that remains the same however is that they have been secretive of their operations. Especially when it comes to their next public events. I however, have the information of their next coming events and from them, I could go see for myself what is it they want from us. Not that I could intervene or react, rather watch it all and hope for the best. No species should be killed, both species mattered, no matter whom has done what.

A link brought me to the class of species of dragons. Draco Watch however has their own names for us, though based on what is gathered from military and 'official' wording for our kind.

I called dragons the way I did because... in truth there was no other way to call us then what we are. Sea serpents, wind flyers, fire breathers and earth crawlers... they were just the basic names for us.

Here, they have my kind, the Wind Dragons as Zephyrans, or in more Latin terms, Ventum Lacerti or Ventum Draco. The Sea Serpents, latin for Mare Serpentes where still had their names as Sea Serpents, but the common name for them was Aqualantees. Fire Breathers were a bit of a misconception seeing as they don't breathe in fire, rather expel it. Inflares was a unique way to go out it, though their Latin translation has them as Satus Ignis. Lastly where the Earth Dwellers or Crawlers. Latin version is simple with Habitantes in Terra. Using that they were known simply as Terrocks.

Huh, who knew that we had actual classifications on us. More so that we where already to be named before we were even created. Then came the next files of the 'Advanced-Species.' Apparently, we were the 'Sub-Species'.

The ones my mother had mentioned earlier. I was always aware of the base species of our kind. Water, earth, wind and fire. As for the others, they were oddities of their own. Some weird mutation within the last criteria of feral and anthropomorphic way back when, an evolutionary state which changed our kind from the simple forms of Elementals to extraordinary forms of Elements.

Metallums. Metal from the very earth had been absorbed by the Earth Dwellers(Terrocks) and allowed the earthy elements inside the metals to bend to their wills. Their forms were stronger than diamond, lighter than modern metals and made them sharper than most blades. Magnetism was a small form of their abilities. But their true power was the metallic screech. From a single tested report, a short burst of a Metallic Screech has enough concussive force to kill a human within a 200 yard rage and wipe out anything within its direction.

Tempestas Saltator was their Latin name but they had two amazing other names. Sky Breakers or Luminas. Lighting began striking my kin in the skies, not harming us, but empowering us beyond belief. The wings of the Sky Flyers(Zephyrans) became transparent after countless generations and lightning strikes that soon, Lighting itself became their ways of travel. The ability to travel as fast as lighting, moving faster than the eye could blink made them lethal. Just generating electricity around them caused hairs to rise, electrical equipment to malfunction and if done right, fry anything a million degrees in seconds. Getting struck by them is not ideal.

From the deepest seas, to the vast oceans that spread across the earth, they are everywhere and back then, they were everything. From water they turned to Ice. Ice that could freeze the very blood of a being in seconds. The very air around them froze and became painful to breathe. When the Sea Serpents(Aqualantees) began to lie upon ice in the northern and southern poles of the world, their blood bonded with the ice, their forms became stronger than before and their hearts beat with cold chill. A single bite could cause instant frostbite to beyond absolute zero temperatures, while a lash of their frozen tail was a painful burst of total frozen paralysis. If they unleashed a blast of frozen wind from their maws, you would freeze in seconds before you would shatter right after. Nix Tempests was their title but easier to call them Glaciers.

The hearts of volcanoes can be found to every part of the world and that was no exceptions to the Fire Breathers(Inflares). Plunging themselves into the fires beneath the earth, they became more than just fire. They became raw, liquid, untouchable fire. Thousands of degrees that can turn just about anything into sunder and ashes. Spewing hot liquid fire was just as terrifying as it sounded and worse to experience. They are living fire, they are power, of life and death, of ends and beginnings and more. Their claws can reach thousands of degrees in a couple seconds and could melt most metals in the same time. From their mouths, the hearts of volcanoes lay and a single drop from their maws will burn away living thing that it touches. Latin has them as Flamma Terrae and there known titles are Magnuses.

...

By the gods they were... are our betters.

They were our evolution that from a time before man, would have been the superiors. They would have exceeded us beyond.

That is why the humans created only the base of our kind. The base dragons had less power, less capabilities then our... evolved kin.

What was a Zephyrans if we were without wings? What is a Terrocks if they were stuck in a iron cage? Or a Aqualantees surrounded by moisture-less air or a Inflares in a room without oxygen to burn?

They created us because we were the weakest of our species. The ones that did not evolve and were supposed to be our betters. Yes, they created a few, but they couldn't control them at first, that is why we never heard of them or know much of their existence.

Were we destined to be always below? Were we meant to be at the bottom because we were not capable? If we truly wanted, could we not break away from our chains and usurp our masters? Or are we weak and that is why we are slaves? It takes a group of humans to try and set us free and yet they are not fully successful because we hold them back.

I realize that with my recent abortion that my mood has brought me to a low point and I cannot describe the pain that I am feeling right now. My belly feels so empty despite me eating not to long ago. My heart aches for something missing, yet I know what its for. My relief is that my sisters and brothers come to interact with me and that fills in the small void in my heart.My breasts ache to be suckled by hatchlings I no longer bare.

Actually, when I have to milk myself, my siblings are the ones that receive my milk. Two would take each breasts for an hour, allowing me to drain an excess milk before they are dry. Then about 5 hours later, I have to drain again. With young drakes, they must build up so many nutrients that it helps build their wings and muscle strands for better flight. Not that flight is needed but it helps with the development.

It was somewhat of a small benefit to my siblings, seeing as they already have the proper resources to obtain any of that. Not to mention that my mother and I are both lactating so there is roughly a somewhat limitless supply. The eggs will hatch soon and it is without a doubt, going to benefit my mother knowing she had another alternative 'mother' in which they may feed from.

Everytime I hold my siblings as they suckle from my breasts, I often wondered if my hatchlings would have as well. They were hybrids, and raptors(as far as I can tell) are not mammalian in nature. Unlike us, they never evolved through anthropomorphism thus, not gaining any mammalian features. I really try not to dwell to much on it, especially considering that my mistake is what took away their lives. But I hope that the next time it happens, I will not repeat my mistake.

Kila has more or less been attached to Nliyn then before and I can't help but wonder if the case is kinship or something more. However, it seems as though news of her family to come and live with has her beyond excited. Poor hatchling has been separated by her family for so long. I hope that they remember her for what she was when she left.

John is currently prepping one of the spare rooms upstairs for them. Again, with all that is happening, John has put in expense just to keep us happy. I often wonder if we are worth all this trouble to him. I know he makes is seem like it but there are moments when I seem him visits Liynda's grave and if she is trying to make it up to her by saving us as many as he could.

There was even a time where I heard him speaking on the phone to his superiors about his obsession towards us. He would often lie to them saying 'That with a house this big, it needs to stay in shape and that he needs a lot of slaves to keep it clean'. Never more to add to that, he feels guilty, but was it to Liynda or something else? His work has always remained a total mystery but I am aware that it somehow involves military. That does bring up something in the files though. John's company does briefly appear in them and I should check to see if they are allies to Draco Watch.

Using the search option, I try to find his company and sure enough, there they are. My eyes scan the files and slowly, a small tickle of fear begins to crawl up my spine. In some odd way, this chip as showing me most of the negative aspects of what the world holds. From the people whom run the creation of dragons to the weaponization of them. Slowly but surely, I see that more and more, they are part of it...

My heart beats a bit faster as I read that they are... in side lines with the division.

My breath becomes heavier as I see their total disregard for our kin other than weapons.

As my hands moved on their own, I type in John's name on the search.

... ...

... ...

'John Marron, CEO of Lockheed.

Years of initiation: 17.

Primary Objective: Further RND and testing on weaponized...

"Sis!" My door burst open with my sister running in with glee.

I jump, startled by her entrance and put the tablet to the size.

"What is it, Kila? I'm a bit... busy." My heart was beating a mile a minute and I can't tell if its from the fear of knowing John's work or my sister surprising me. I sure hope its my sister.

"They're here! They're here!" A small smile tugs at my maw and I slowly make my way there. "Let's go see them then." She nods happily and runs off upstairs. I stop at the door, looking back towards my tablet. I really don't want to read the rest of it... I really don't out of fear or mistrust. Either way, I know that I will have to deal with it soon. With that, I make my way upstairs.

My mother and father along with Kila waiting by a bouncing Nliyn . There were small bursts of smoke leaving her maw. Her tail swished side to side in joy and tears began to leak from her eyes as she was to be reunited with her family. A small anticipation also welled within me, knowing that our home is getting smaller, yet... our somewhat mix family is expanding. From raptors, to Zephyrans with their family and now, Inflares joining us as well.

John had finished the room and now approached the living room. He pulled out his mobile and looked towards us.

"They're here." With that, he walked towards the door and instantly opened, just as two dragons stood before it.

...

The instant she saw them, she bursts into tears and runs towards in amazing speeds.

"Mama!" she cries, nearly flying towards the dragons. The female seeing her daughter, instantly breaks down and opens her arms to the incoming missile of her daughter. Instantly, the two collide in a sweet and heart filled momment. I couldn't help but laugh while holding back tears of my own as I watch the interaction.

The female carried a blend of fiery red and orange scales over her body, Nliyn almost completely copied her mother's coloring. The blends didn't really start until the began to intersect with her belly(only because she had a somewhat translucent shirt that she could see)from a fiery red to a mix then it was orange.

My attention then turned to the male whom was hugging his family tightly, whispering words to both in his grasp. He was completely different though. He was almost a ruby red with a blend of orange and yellow in his chest to his lower region.(Why did he have a transparent shirt too?) He had longer horns than I, he lacked the obvious wings and his claws seem to be sharper than mine. His tail however was a unique feature and that is when he moved it back and forth, the scales towards the end made it look like a living flame every time it swayed. It was almost mesmerizing... almost like him.

He was... beyond handsome and he looked amazing. Granted, he is the first male outside of my own family that I seen. The parents where already with their own and the raptors where a different case. This is the first time I observe an actual male that has some potential to be my...

Shaking my head, I watch as the family separated with John leading them more inside, closing the door.

That is when my eyes met his. It was so surreal but at the same time, it was beyond my wildest imaginations. Time froze and we stared at each other, not ten feet away and yet, it looked like we were face to face, closer than ever before.

His orange eyes met my emerald eyes and I found myself staring at the flames of a beautiful soul. It... He revealed himself towards me and I to him. It was at that moment that I saw something I have not seen in anyone here.

Compassion, strength, determination but at the same time I saw potential for love, adoration, kindness and hope. Hope that has been there long before he had entered the doors.

It was at that moment that John had been speaking and introducing us. He spoke about my mother, my father and my sister. He pointed to me.

"And this here is Verdera, the main household leader."

I wasn't sure what he meant by that but I knew he had good intentions for introductions. I could see the male silently muttering my name in his maw and I felt heat flush my face when he gave a small smile towards me.

Did it just get hot in here or is it just me? Gods, I mentally slap myself at the horrible pun but... it was true... right?

Nliyn had finished hugging her mother but stayed by her side, daring to never let go. It was she that spoke to us about her family.

"This is my mama, and my uncle. My mama's name is Synery." Her mother she gave a wave to everyone before looking a bit embarrassed. Realization took over the male and he spoke in gentle but oh so firm voice that held swoon.

"Ah, my dear sister cannot properly speak." He spoke out. Oh gods, what a voice. It has never been clear to me how when those floozy woman on those soap opera channels fall sway to the handsome badass with a deep but wonderful voice, I had always thought they were full of shit and drama but now I get it. Now I fucking get it. "She has had trouble lending her voice so I am her translator. She has been taught sign language if you can understand her." The dragoness gave a nod before giving a small bow and wrapping her arms, under her, before spreading them out to everyone. "She say's 'Thank you for your hospitality'. He then turned his eyes towards me and spoke as if it was meant for me to hear and no one else. "As for me, my name is Drakeo."

Drakeo... the name sounds good on my tongue, as I roll the word around, feeling a gentle warmth in my heart. It dosen't fill the void that is still somewhere in my heart but I feel a small patch slowly fill in.

Drakeo.
