**Date: November 26th

Location: Main Hall of Zaraphan Castle

Time: 12:34 pm**

Sambodo had finally finished the discussion with the kings of the other dragonic kingdoms, his lovely wife and sweetheart Phoana holding his hand as they went down to join the crowd. Michael wondered how things would go, seeing them both smiling, which must have meant that they had good news. Sambodo had a red scarf around his neck for today, the ends of them golden and glittery while still maintaining a matching loin cloth below, "Now then, before I say anything....Rizan my daughter. I got word from Jazmine that she'll not be joining us this year. She'll be staying with her current mate Jacobsky. Usually we'd not tolerate a lackluster reason but just this year we'll let it slide because she's doing what we were hoping we'd do, have a mate of her own. However we still have no word on my eldest grandson. Do you know where he went? He just left suddenly without a word...", he asked, Rizan unsure what could've happened to him.

Probably he went to Saint Falda, but that wouldn't be possible as she had her P.I.C the whole time. He wouldn't have a way to travel through dimensions, so he would still be nearby. She was sure that Jacobsky wouldn't try anything quiet yet from how feisty Jazmine was, however she didn't know anything about him. Just that he was a soldier to a neighboring kingdom far to the south of the castle, "Hmm...honestly I couldn't say. He's probably feeling a bit depressed that he can't find a suitable mate or something. I'm sure he'll turn up eventually.", she responded, the king a little worried as he was hoping to at least have all of the family together along with the people of his kingdom.

Phoana gave her husband a kiss on the cheek and chuckled, rubbing a finger through one of her long thick scaley hairs, "Oh my sweet man. Always caring about the family...though remember, we have to tell everyone our decision.", she reminded, Sambodo clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention once more, not that he needed to. The couple walked down the stairs and was ready to tell everyone what they wanted to hear. Everyone stood up and moved out of the way for the king to walk, making a path to the dragoon by Rizan and Shyranrya. The kids were an exception to having bow, being on the floor in front of their mother but smiling at their grandfather

Michael was very nervous, hoping that he had made a good impression and that he had their trust as Sambodo's intimidating form, and Phoana's stopped in front of him. They had to kneel from how tall they were, Sambodo looking at him in the eyes for some reason with an investigating gaze while Phoana merely smiling at him, "Well now...what we discussed is very important and took hours. I think it is better if we eat first, don't you agree?", he said with a laugh, everyone gasping as they were all holding their breaths to hear the answer.

Sambodo was then smacked to the ground by Rizan, gravely annoyed at how the seriousness of the situation was turned by offering something to eat at this time. Phoana had to hold her back to prevent her daughter from trampling the king, Michael and Shyranrya helping him up, "Hey hey! Don't be so rough on the king! I just thought after all the wait, we should skip to the dinner now, and then spend the rest of the evening focused on more business matters. Anyone disagree?", he asked, checking around to see if anyone had any objections. The kids were a little confused as to why their mother hit "grandpa", but hearing that they were going to have lunch, they cheerfully raised their hands in agreement to have something to eat.

That answer was very important to Rizan and Shyranrya, as that would affect their standing and their future with the dragoon of fire. Sambodo ruffled up Michael's hair as thanks and shook Shyranrya's hand in gratitude after his mate helping him to his feet, "Hun, you'd better go ahead to the dining room. I'll try and calm our feisty daughter down.", she said tapping his slightly bleeding snout with her tail. In a hurry, the king left with the crowd, not wanting to suffer the wrath of the princess. Rizan sighed and shook her head, letting her mother know that she was fine now.

"That jerk. How could he just do something like that? How do you deal with that Phoana?", she asked, Her mother rubbing her daughter's shoulders and kneeling down to get to eye level with her. Phoana merely chuckled and nuzzled her snout, "Just relax. You're too worked up...you know your father prefers not to stress things out. But you've seen when he gets serious, he does get quite serious. Like when he first saw this dragoon.", she explained, getting a smile from Rizan which made her feel happy as it wasn't often that she saw her daughter, even less with a smile around her.

"Rizan, I think a meal would be better you know? It is a bit serious...if it does turn out for the worse, our full stomachs will be a better way to manage it.", said Shyranrya, Rizan hoping that it wasn't for the worse at all. She glanced over at Michael, who was busy fixing his hair from what Sambodo did to it, before getting pounced by the two little dragons from how much they loved him. The dragoon who wanted to defeat the worse enemy to dragon kind, should be enough of a reason to warrant him residency here. There shouldn't be a reason why he wouldn't be allowed to stay she thought, "..Oh alright. You're too easy on him though!", she said to her mother, seeing her merely stick her tongue out and drag her mate across the floor to the dining room.

As everyone went ahead, Shyranrya looked at Michael who was being defeated by mere children with head nommings with a smile. She took them both and had them hang from her back, the two liking it as she was very tall. As she helped him up, he seemed just a bit worried, wondering if it had anything to do with the delay in the important decision. She put a hand on his shoulder which made him jump slightly and look up, "Oh! Shyranrya, we're about to be late. Shouldn't we get going?", he asked, getting a nod from her before being grabbed by the hand by Rizan. She couldn't let Shyranrya get too close anymore, noticing that she seemed to be moving in on her human, "Yes! We gotta get going! Hurry up Shyranrya!", she sing-songed while almost making Michael stumble from how hard she was pulling.

Shyranrya merely sighed and followed close behind, going up the stairs and deeper into the castle to the main dining hall. It also happened to be where the throne room was, being lined with tapestries, brightly lit with a chandelier made of clear dragon scales. It gave a light jiggle as everyone moved in, the area of the dining room even bigger than the main hall, as well as wider. There were many long wooden tables, all having chairs big enough for the close to over one hundred dragons attending the huge event. There was a long stairway down in a zig-zag fashion, the room looking like it was close to the size of an hanger.

The throne its self was all the way in the back, being a massive chair that showed the authority Sambodo had which was adorned by two horns sticking up at the top. Phoana had no throne of her own, having had hers dismantled awhile ago in favor of sitting in the lap of her favorite male. It didn't make his presence any less powerful, though having his mate on his crotch made giving speeches just a little bit difficult at times. The smell of food also filled the air, as the kitchen entrance was to the side with many other dragons dressed as chefs were bringing out food at an alarmingly fast rate.

"Whoa! Look at all that food...remind me again what is this all for?", asked Michael, wanting to make sure the reason behind such a festive day. It couldn't have been only over the discussion they had over him. He was indeed hungry, trying to maintain himself from drooling. Shyranrya came up from behind as Rizan still had him in her grip, grabbing his other hand and sticking her tongue out at Rizan, "Well...its supposed to be..well its a day of thanks. It was on this day, your ancestor Eurasia defeated N.D. at the Dragon Campaign. November 26th. He himself came back to the dragons and humans, and ordered everyone to celebrate with good food and togetherness. Everyone cooked their own dishes and shared recipes with each other in hopes to bring the two species together at last.", she explained, Rizan sticking her tongue out back and starting to walk ahead down the stairs.

The two were basically dragging the dragoon by the hands, making him a bit nervous over how anxious they seemed to want to eat, "H-hey! Not so fast!..though it seems that your kingdom doesn't really like humans Rizan. Your guards made a bit of a big deal over me being here and even taunted you for it. And I noticed your kingdom's symbol is of a dragon chomping on a human. Though lines coming out of the human's back...is that blood?", he queried to Rizan, looking up to see that the tapestries were dotted in gold, the symbol of their pride which was worn after the 2nd great war after the dragon campaign.

As the got to the floor, she stopped, making Shyranrya stop suddenly as well, "Oh Eura...you ever hear of the Jadow Campaign? It is also referred to as the 2nd Dragon Campaign and the Jadow Wars.", she asked, Michael thinking for a second before nodding. It was a small topic he learned back when he was still training, only knowing that it was the last fight his ancestor fought in before his death. They started to walk once more, everyone around them greeting the trio and chuckling at the human being dragged by them, "Well basically, that symbol was made during the Jadow Campaign. That symbol is of a wingly, which were still around after the end of the Dragon Campaign. Eurasia..that is, your ancestor worked to eliminate the rest of the winglies to ensure there would be peace. Our family worked with him to help out, and literally "chomp" them out of existence. Hence the picture of a dragon chomping a wingly."

Wingly was a word he hadn't heard in years, only knowing that they were on N.D.'s side during the Dragon Campaign. Their powers were incredibly formidable, having forged the Dragon Buster and the Dragon Block Staff, both of which were deadly to any dragon or dragoon. Not to mention physically, their strength were high enough to take out a dragon in battle in a small group. However Eurasia managed to defeat them anyway even with that handicap, though everyone who saw him fight is no long alive. Only thing that lived on was the legend he left by being the most powerful human and dragoon in history.

It was good news to hear that they were against winglies, but she didn't explain the other half of his question. Before he could ask, they had arrived at the largest table in front of the throne, Phoana getting nice and comfy on her mate's lap as they greeted them to the festivities, "Ah you guys are slow! The food is just about served. Take a seat and prepare for the "king"'s toast before we eat.", she explained, pointing to the three chairs across the table and in front of the trio. Two were raised up to accommodate the two smaller guests while Shyranrya's was a normal sized chair for them.

They even had their names on them, engraved in gold on the back of them, with Michael sitting between the two dragonesses. The chefs quickly brought over plate after massive plate of meat, rice, even salads, which was rare in dragon cuisine, "W-whoa...look at that food..with this many people...must have taken hours if not days!", exclaimed Michael, taking a seat while he smelled the food which a few had an alluring odors and the rest not smelling so appetizing. Shyranrya sat to the left of him while Rizan to the right, feeling a little uneasy but at least happy that she was sitting beside the human she wanted to hang out with.

Something about Shyranrya being so close today bothered her a bit, holding back alot with sheer willpower to pull that human closer to her, "Of course Eura. Has to be enough to fill all of our stomachs. Big dragons like Shyranrya and my father tend to eat ALOT.", she said snickering while glancing at Shyranrya, wondering now if she was implying something by that or was just merely explaining. Sambodo playfully took offense to that, Phoana giving her mate's abs a rub. He wasn't the most muscular dragon but he was in good shape. She however couldn't deny that he loved to eat.

As Michael nodded, Shyranrya put a hand on his shoulder and smiled, "Indeed, though eating alot ensures you won't be scrawny like certain dragons. Gotta have your vittles Eura always so you can be big and strong like me and Phoana. Isn't that right?", she asked the queen, seeing her laugh and nod while Rizan huffed a little under her breath while hoping her "friend" wasn't talking about her. "Of course. Eating feels good and helps relax the nerves. Just make sure you're not a Mr Lazy Hatchling and you'll be fine. You do know that the king trains regularly to make sure he's fit to rule. Even though he can't beat me.", she exclaimed playfully, giving her man a kiss on the lips.

The two shared a light deep smooch, their love running strong. Though the moment was shattered once one of the chefs informed the couple that the food and preparations were ready. They nodded and the two stood up, clapping their hands to get everyone's attention, "Okay then. With the food on our tables, the sensation of hunger in our bellies, and the feeling of gratitude fresh in the air, I'm proud to host yet again, this year's Giving of Thanks!", he shouted, everyone clapping for the king who had a tone of authority.

It actually made him seem king like which he did not prefer acting like 24/7, though at this important moment, strong conviction was important, "Long ago, the dragons waged war along side dragoons. It was only through our teamwork, that the wingly threat was vanquished! Now today we have our guest, a descendant of the same dragoon who lead us to victory! May he be blessed with the power of Olrik and Shenonaska to make sure N.D. is gone for good!", he said picking up a cup of wine and proposing a toast. Everyone shouted in agreement and flooded the room the sounds of glass cups and muttering of hope.

They all had left their home dimensions to hide from his tyranny and Jadows, without ever expecting to go home again. Now there was a chance that things could go back to how they were, and it was in the hands of the one called Eurasia. Everyone began to eat to their hearts content, literally grabbing the food from the plates and chomping the meat down, bones and all. Every table was having a frenzy besides the king's table, who was taking it easy but still enjoying it, "MMm...here you go dear. I know how hungry you've been all day.", Phoana said while bringing up a whole chicken to his snout.

He growled playfully and chomped down on it, the sound of bones crunching making Michael a little nervous while he had a few drumsticks and a leg of a boar in his plate. He was the only one who was eating the meat around the bones, instead of everything at once. Even the dragonesses around them were eating things quickly, offering little portions of food that he wouldn't have tried before. Ox tail, and roasted cheetah, though he refused the latter due to not liking what it was as he took a bite into it. Once they told him, he politely gave it back to Rizan who happy bit into where he tried to.

"Ah it's nice to have you here Rizan. You don't visit enough...and I think your father feels the same Shyranrya. It's not a good thought that we don't have anyone to take the throne once we pass on.", she said rubbing her mate's cheek full of food, the two dragonesses looking up with full mouths before swallowing, "You are the last child we have. You sure you won't consider it?", she asked, Rizan swallowing her portion and shaking her head. She had her reasons for not doing so, tapping a claw on the table gently while glancing over to Michael.

"I...can't do it. Being queen, isn't how I want to live my life. Why don't you two just have another litter of eggs and pick from the bunch?", she asked while chomping down on an ox leg. The thought always went through their mind, but they didn't have the best luck with children. Rizan was the only one who survived the last litter of 9, and the one before that, none survived. Age wise, they had alot of time, but eventually they would have to come down from the throne, "Besides...Mmm..that's good...let's talk about this later. Family matters should be discussed away from the table...we have a guest here.", she said while swallowing the rest of the leg.

Phoana knew she would say that, but there was no harm in asking. Her last one being the most important thing to her besides her mate, it was very assuring once she heard she had gotten into the training. Before her daughter only focused on magic, saying that physical power didn't matter too much compared to humans but now she has something to protect. Though one thing bothered her about that dragoon which only a caring mother could address since the daughter wouldn't assert herself more, "Alright then. Sorry about that Eurasia. Tell me, how long have you known Rizan and Shyranrya? Rizan won't tell me.", she asked, seeing her daughter still eating away without reacting.

Michael held on to a leg of a chicken, something he at least was familiar with even though it was about 3 feet long, "Mmm...Rizan....I met her on a mission. She had gotten captured by some..unruly humans who planned to sell her for profit. I saved her and made sure she wasn't bothered again. This was...50 years ago? Nearly 51 now. I managed to find her after sticking around the nearby human settlement, then I got her back to her home safely.", he explained, the king and queen gasping in shock as their daughter managed to get herself captured by humans.

"Well then! You have my sincerest thanks for saving my daughter. Why didn't you tell me this?", asked Sambodo, sounding worried as he looked at Rizan. She shook her head and scoffed, knowing that now it didn't matter anymore, "That was then. It passed and I thought it wasn't important...so don't worry about what happened back then. Eura saved me, and that's that.", she responded, her father sighing as nothing he did could get on her good side. Phoana shushed her mate and wanted to hear the rest of the story, urging the dragoon to continue, "Shush! Now then...how did you meet our welcome guest Shyranrya?"

He cleared his throat and carried on as requested, wanting to explain how he came to know the large black dragoness, "Ahemm...right. Shyranrya was another mission soon after I met Rizan. Though it turned badly for me at the start...I got ambushed and lost my dragoon spirit. I was then sold as a human slave to Shyranrya, which took some convincing to show that i was a dragoon. That was messy.", he explained, the king and queen a little intrigued by what happened during Shyranrya's meeting.

"She made you her slave...interesting...oh errm. You lost your dragoon spirit huh? That is the source of your power and enables you to have incredible abilities...without it, you're basically human right?.", asked Phoana, getting a nod from Michael while he finished off his chicken leg. His plate was already quite full of bones of various animals, surprising the king with his appetite. Though for now, he pulled himself some salad in a smaller bowl with some vinegar and salt, wanting to have some leafy greens as well, "Awesome. Salad...oh errm, yea. At the time, I was strong, but nothing compared to a dragoness like Shyranrya or Rizan. There was a training class to take after i had become a dragoon for extra power, but I didn't think about it at the time. At least now without my dragoon spirit, i can put up a fight if that ever happens again. Thanks to both of them.", he said with a smile, Phoana realizing now that he must have joined them on their training sessions. Shyranrya smiled back while Rizan nodded, glad to hear that their human was happy through the hellish training he took.

It was even better for her actually to have heard that, hiding her smirk with an innocent smile before clapping her hands three times in the air, "Oh thats sweet. Those two have been training for nearly 50 years...so tell me Eurasia. Do you like dragons?", she asked, making Rizan choke on her food a little and Shyranrya dropping the half eaten bone onto the plate. To bring up such a question, they wondered what he would say in response to that. Michael took little time to think, nodding with a smile, "Yup. Dragons are cool. Scary and powerful, but awesome.", he said, the two dragonesses continuing their meal as he seemed to answer her well.

Phoana rubbed her snout for a second, expecting such an innocent answer, thinking of approaching it from another angle, "Yes, we are indeed scary if provoked...but a strong human like you can tame a dragon quite easily, don't you think? Or do you let the dragon tame you? Shyranrya must have made you do alot of...interesting things while you were her "property"....", she asked in a soft sultry voice. Shyranrya never told anyone exactly what happened during the first time they met in great detail, and knew well that Michael wouldn't have either. Though it was probably her imagination, but she felt that Phoana was messing with his mind or something close to that.

As Michael began to answer, a dragon brought in a rather large cake, pie and ice cream, all on one massive plate. All of the eaten food was already taken away and the plates were taken as well to make room for the dessert, "Finally! The dessert you called for is here...I made room for it my sweet queen.", said Sambodo, opening his maw cutely while his mate took some vanilla ice cream and rubbed it on his snout, before licking off and kissing him. The two enjoyed a nice moment while the other three were wondering what to take first. They all enjoyed sweets greatly, having to restrain the kids to avoid having them jump into the cake. They especially did, having developed a sweet tooth thanks to Shyranrya making sweets for them every now and then.

If anything, Shyranrya was feeling relieved that the dessert came just now, but it was short lived as Michael wanted to answer back as to not be rude, "Oh right, you were saying that Shyranrya had me do alot of things for her. I was doing stuff that I guessed made her happy. Such as---mmmph!", his speech was halted by a spoon full of ice cream into his mouth. He turned to see Shyranrya smiling and having him taste a very delicious ice cream. It made his eyes sparkle and helped him pick the dessert of his choosing, "Oh! Apple Cinnamon ice cream! Mmmmm!", he said after getting that taste, taking one of the massive bowls that were left for each one and filling it up with that specific flavoring.

While he shared it with the kids, Shyranrya poked him in the shoulder and presented him with another spoonful, "Oh Eura, want some more? My spoon holds alot more so you can enjoy more at once!", she offered, the idea of getting more at once very appealing. Rizan nearly broke her spoon seeing her human being feed by Shyranrya, her parents not seeming to have noticed Michael wanting to continue the conversation. Quickly she looked around for something as appetizing, spying something close by in which she quickly nabbed a piece and brought it to her plate. Before Michael came in close for the spoonful, Rizan pulled his chair over towards her and turned it with her tail, stuffing his mouth with a piece of sweet hot fluffy goodness, something that got him once more patting his cheeks in delight.

"Mmmm...hot...apple...pie!", he exclaimed, luckily being able to resist being burnt by how fresh it was but it was so rich in flavor and fluffy that it made him sigh happily. Phoana heard him enjoy it, smelling it and glad to see that her hard work paid off, "Ah...you enjoy that pie? I made it myself earlier today. Cinnamon and apples are a powerful combination. It was one of the few things my mate here found...delicious when he courted me a long time ago.", she said, Sambodo chuckling thinking back to when they first met. That same apple pie is considered a royal dessert, only enjoyed in the castle once a year as it would lose its special flavor if served more often.

Shyranrya's spoon dripped with melting ice cream since Michael's attention had been turned to Rizan, gritting her teeth just a little that her friend just seemed to want his attention. As Rizan was about to feed another to Michael, Shyranrya pulled his chair away from her and decided to be a wee bit more assertive now and stuffed more ice cream into his mouth, "Doesn't this ice cream go well with that pie?", she asked, giving a cute face to her favorite human who's cheeks seemed to be full. Rizan growled as she saw her friend being rude at that moment, slamming her fist on the table hard.

"What's the big idea?! I was sharing a bit of this pie with him!", she shouted, everyone going silent and looking at the princess's outburst. Michael quickly turned around with his mouth near bursting with sweets and tilted his head while Shyranrya gave her a sly look. The kids began to cry as their mother scared them, Phoana quickly going to them and lifting them both up Phoana stared at her daughter, finally reaching the point she had hoped. It was even better that she didn't have to do anything to move things along, meaning that the tension between the two were higher than expected. Sambodo looked towards his mate and stood up in front of the table, wondering if he should say anything. He looked over to Phoana giving the little young'ins a lick, then passing them over to him.

The queen was going to take things even farther now, giving the signal to her mate that she was going to try and "end" this slight problem while walking towards her daughter, "Now now, relax Rizan. Why are you getting so worked up over sharing food? You're talking as if he's you're mate or something and she's stealing his affection from you.", she said, her tone and words making everyone in the room gasp. Rizan blushed nervously at what her mother said, trying to stay calm as she was in front of a huge crowd, as well as her parents.

"Yea Rizan....chill out. He's not your mate...why does it seem to be a problem with you that I share my food with him too?", Shyranrya asked while pulling Michael to her lap, making him gasp a bit as he was pulled out of his chair and hugged tightly against her. She had her arms around his chest and stuck her tongue out at Rizan, which got her infuriated even more. Phoana looked at Shyranrya while tilting her head, finding it interesting that she was taking initiative first, "Well that is true Rizan. You shouldn't be burned up over her being close to Eurasia but why are you holding him so close? Such closeness...are you two...mates?", she asked, Rizan's jaw nearly falling through the floor hearing such a question.

Shyranrya smirked and didn't respond, Michael wondering what was going on as he was being smothered by her, "Mates?...huh?", he asked, feeling her breasts rest on his head. One thing he noticed was that Rizan was definitely angry, but it seemed a little weird that she would be put off by him just being with Shyranrya he thought. Rizan quickly stepped forward and quickly ripped the human out from her friend's grasp, making him stumble a little as she made him stand beside him, "Of course not! No way Eura could really go for a girl her size! He likes his ladies just a little bigger, not oversized like her!", she yelled, the crowd shocked by the princess's words. The tone had a bit of jealousy in it, making Shyranrya glare at Rizan for such a rude comment.

She stood up and towered over her friend, Michael looking up and realizing that they were seriously angry at each other, and over him no less, "Yea right girlie. Eura prefers an experienced girl who can smother his body. Plus he likes it rough...don't you Eura?", she asked, making him wonder what she was talking about. Before he could answer, Shyranrya pulled him over to her side once more, Rizan clenching her fist as her patience had reached its limits. Now she didn't care that everyone was around, wanting to shut down this so called "rivalry" over the affection of the human she wanted.

Rizan shook her head and grinned, folding her arms around her chest and looking up at her large friend's face, "Oh, I know he likes it rough. I showed him his first good time...and more. And I don't care what you all think. Eurasia is a nice human, and my mate, regardless of species.", she exclaimed, everyone now shocked that it was now official. There was alot of murmurring going on, discussion over her choice in mate. Many didn't mind much because he was a dragoon, but there was concern over what would happen to the family line. Shyranrya was shocked to hear that Michael had shared a bed with Rizan, though it didn't dampen how she felt for him. It did however allow Rizan to quickly snatch back Michael, hugging him tightly.

Sambodo rubbed his chin in thought, the kids huddling close in one of his arms as they were frightened by the seriousness in the air, "So what you're saying Rizan...that you love this human. And you've...huh. I should've seen that coming honestly.", he said to the queen, who was focused on the outcome now of who would really claim that human as their own. Shyranrya knew that she would get in trouble by her family, as they were different from Rizan's family in terms of human contact and their views on humans. That was the main reason why she left in the first place, and she had no plans on ever going back, besides from talking to them every few years or so.

Regardless, nothing else mattered more now as a little bit of sweat dripped down her head, putting her hands at her hips and stepping very close while looking down at Rizan who seemed more or less unfazed, "Well you managed to seduce him...which I don't care too. However, he is the father of my litter...not like a certain someone who had a litter with some un-named dragon from your heat. That makes you a slut doesn't it?", she said, Rizan gasping as she was pushed back a little while she grabbed Michael and held him behind her. Rizan hid the fact that Michael was the father of her kids, but for her "Friend" to use it in a such a way, destroyed everything that made her look at Shyranrya as a friend.

"Hey Shyranrya, that's not a nice thing to---W-WHAT?! FATHER?! ME?!", he said in shock, just realizing what she really said. Everything then went red in Rizan's eyes, not only did she insult her kids, but her person as well, "Grrrrr...You BITCH!", she shouted with a growl, her wings suddenly opening up and blowing up a huge gust of air. She jumped forward with a fair amount of speed, making the black dragoness fly with a strong punch to her cheek. Sambodo had to quickly move out the way as Shyranrya flew through the table, and through the wall, having to protect the hatchlings at all costs. The wall smashing open made a thunderous sound, everyone starting to run back into the main hall. The shock knocked down the dragoon and left him shocked in awe, trying hard not to believe that what had happened, just happened.

The red dragoness intended on shutting her up personally, Michael quickly getting up and looked at the hole leading outside caused by Rizan's anger. There was a little bit of blood on her fist, glancing at Michael who was back on his feet. He ran in front of her in shock, "R-Rizan! What the heck?! Why did you---", but he was cut off as he was slapped down onto the ground. The stone floor cracked at the impact she caused, his cheek in great pain by how hard he was just smacked. She just continued to walk past him, not letting anyone, not even the one she loved get in her way, "Eura...you're mine and mine alone. Even if...you had impregnated her too...that's fine. I won't let anyone else have you. Now stay here while I make sure she can't get in my way any longer.", she requested, her footsteps echoing in the silence of a horrified crowd.

Michael struggled to get back on his feet, rubbing his cheek as it was in a good amount of pain. It wasn't normal that she would stike him that hard, the anger he saw in her eyes made him frightened at how bad things really were. Quickly he ran towards Rizan, wanting to stop the two from fighting, "RIZAN! WAIT!", he shouted, suddenly being stopped by Sambodo who seemed to appear in front of him. Normally Michael wouldn't dare to stand up to a king, especially Rizan's father, however the situation was different, "Sambodo, what are you doing?! I gotta stop them!", he yelled, trying to walk around him but only to be stopped by him once more.

He stomped on the ground with one foot, shaking the castle and causing a crack to appear on the floor, "I'm sorry Eurasia, but I can't let you interfere. Dragon Law forbids interference once two dragons begin fighting over a mate.", he explained, Michael looking quite annoyed at such a rule. With how powerful they were, not only would they hurt each other badly, but the collateral damage would be massive too with how unrestrained they would fight, "What are you talking about?! That's your daughter out there! My friends! Do you know what could happen if they really went all out....", he asked in a very angry tone, balling his fists hard as fire began to spark on his dragoon spirit.

Phoana walked up behind Michael and put a hand on his shoulder, making him look up and behind him, "I'm sorry hun...but...thats how things are. I had to sit back and watch Sambodo fight for my hand...with his older brother. You can't have two people wanting the same person. It never works out.", she explained, rubbing his shoulder to help calm him before he pulled away and walked forward. It was baffling how who ever made such a law thought it was okay to force two people to kill each other over love, even best friends or family.

"No, you didn't have to sit back. You could've prevented it...or at least tried. I...won't just sit here and let them hurt each other over me!", he shouted, holding his hand out and summoning his sword in a flash of fire. Sambodo quirked an eyeridge seeing such a massive sword appear from nothing. He snapped his fingers and immediately the dragoon was surrounded at spear point. About 10 guards surrounded him and held sharp spears at his neck, showing that the king had spoken. Phoana remained silent, knowing that this was the right thing to do even with a little bit of guilt in her heart from instigating most of what lead to this point.

Michael noticed now that not only were the guards trained in the same fashion Rizan and Shyranyra were, the king and queen were also properly trained. Even though speed was impressive, he felt that Rizan and Shyranrya were much stronger anyway, "Eurasia, even if you are on good terms with us. Even if you are the mate to be of my daughter, no one is above dragon law. Now stay put and await who becomes yours.", he ordered, making him put his weapon down and wonder what to do. Rizan was flying outside, seeing Shyranrya flying with a slightly ripped dress. The sparkles had faded from the impact and her cheek had smeared blood from when she wiped herself off.

The two stared each other down for a second, the sky darkening and with flashes of thunder as the weather began to take a turn for the worse. The wind picked up as they clenched their fists, Shyranrya suddenly pointing at Rizan, "You...actually sucker punched me. Though I probably should've expected that from a little girl. Eurasia will be mine...he prefers a more.."experienced" woman.", she said, before Rizan snarled with rage and charged at her. Their fists clashed with unbelievable power, thunder striking down beside them as if they caused it.
