#3 of Syngeneia Kathairein

You like dark fantasy, dragons, adventure and a bit of romance?

You want to see the work of a professional video game writer?

You find AI's interesting?

This story of mine has all of that! Syngeneia Kathairein puts you in the shoes of Entropion, a purple dragon tasked to ''make the world right again''. (although he is a jackass in this prequel intro!) The view is set in first person view from Entropion's POV. This story is inspired by warcraft, forgotten realms, spyro the dragon and dragon age, among other things. AIdungeon's makeup is a bit messy, but > arrows denote saying or doing something. Part of the story is AI generated, please keep that in mind.


Blue rolls her eyes as she states these 2 are her brother and mate, but that she loves your childish ways. You tell her you're sorry, but you can't help it. She states that you could try harder. You laugh and say perhaps, but honestly, how would attempting to be "more adult" work? Koriza makes a sarcastic remark at that, saying you can start by not comparing her to a sea urchin. You decide to ask why she was so set on taking you to see the Black Dragon king. Koriza tells you that purple dragons are royalty by birthright and got a lot of special powers. She says all dragons expect you to bear this responsibility. You nod, of course you will. You ask Koriza how she expected for us 3 to not attack her. Koriza answers that she didn't expect it, but she assumed we would be reasonable and work together for a common goal. You compliment Koriza on her professionalism as the other retrieval agents were horrible. She thanks you and states all this is done and our mission is at an end. You ask her if ghosts or spirits were sent after you as retrievers, as one killed Greeny. She says no spirits were sent, but there were a few ghosts. She says some ghosts are nicer than others. After a long trip, you arrive at the palace. Koriza says you went by foot to keep a low profile. The palace is as impressive as you expected. Not as big as the one in your old urban legend, but certainly big enough. You are escorted to see the king. Koriza stops in front a massive stone door in the palace, she tells you the king is inside but that only you 3 may enter. Koriza states her rank is too low to meet the black dragon king in person. You stand in front of the door, you feel nervous as hell.

You take a deep breath and knock 3 times. The door opens, seemingly by itself. "HNNGGG!" Koriza faces away, she may not witness the king. You head inside and the throne room is pitch black. The door slams shut behind you as you feel your heart pounding. "I knew I saw something...interesting." You hear from a dark corner of the room. You check if blue is doing fine. Blue grabs hold of you and is startled as Braziers all light up at once. Illuminating the room. On a giant throne sits the black dragon king. He is even bigger than you imagined. You take a step back, he towers over you. He swings one of his massive legs over the arm of the throne and sits on it. He greets you, and tells you he knows all about you. He tells you an explanation is in order. He tells you how he planted an orphaned Purple and Blue dragon, along with his son, Black, in that cave long ago. The cave you grew up in. As training for you, Entropion. You took too long and that is why you were brought here. Black is shocked... Is this his dad?!? The king explains he had other plans for you, but once he saw you kill your brother he knew you were ready for bigger things. The black dragon king, named Malediction, nods at your awe. Confirming YOU teleported them out the caves with your latent magical ability. He states Greeny was never meant to be in the program anyway, how he was an obstacle and his life was meaningless! All 3 of you are in total shock. You can't believe this.... The king, while rightfully bewildered by your reactions, tells you he is proud of you. He calls you a "shining hope" for the future. He states with this revelation out of the way, he will be able to give you further preferential treatment. Malediction states Black's and Blue's true names are Endaklion and Zalisi respectively, but that Blue/Zalisi and you were never meant to fall in love, and that she must leave you. Blue/Zalisi starts sobbing because she loves you. Begging the king to not make her leave. The king, while not actively cruel, displays a lack of sympathy as Blue/Zalisi and you both weep. The king continues, stating she was nothing more than a sex slave for you. You own her. You love her, though. He states she can stay if she wishes, but in reality, she is a guest in your home. Regardless of how much she loves you, you will have a marriage arranged with someone else. Malediction states he will take care of it and if you wish to see her before the wedding he will grant you that moment. You weep silently, alongside Blue/Zalisi. The king tells you purple dragons are gifted at magic, and meant to rule dragon kind. As dragons cannot breed between colors, he has acquired a female purple dragon. Seeing you are the first case of having a counterpart with the opposite gender, your love with this purple dragon must be destined. While your love with Zalisi is meaningless. You will not dump Zalisi but you won't say that you love her either, lest you be exiled from the kingdom. You look at Black. He's looking at you with an empty gaze. He doesn't really know how you feel about him. Black is shell shocked about all of this. He knows something is going on. He knows something isn't adding up. The Black dragon king threatens if Zalisi and you ever have sex again, she will be mutilated by female circumcision.

This horrified you 3. Zalisi and you both look at each other and your eyes speak more than any words ever could. You shake your head at Black. Subtly, of course Malediction dismisses you 3 , but tells you what was said here will never leave this room. You nod before returning to Koriza. Zalisi thinks you'll "do what you're told", but in reality, you'll do whatever you can to defend her. You can't imagine your life without her. Your love for her is apparent. Zalisi states she doesn't know what she'll do, but she wants to spend the rest of her life with you. Koriza shakes her head in disbelief when seeing the 3 of you. She can feel Malediction was awful to you. She senses a lot of negative energy emitting from you and you're trembling slightly. Koriza hugs the both of you tightly. She tells you that she is instructed to be your guide and bodyguard. Whatever you want to discuss, you can do so in private, but she must be your advisor on all matters. She then takes Zalisi aside to speak to her privately. A human servant of no importance takes you and Endaklion to your new chambers. The luxury is stunning. The gold plated bed is a massive piece of furniture. A little ways away is a couch against the wall and a table in the center of the room with several candles placed around it. Endaklion/Black goes to the balcony and shakes his head. What happened is a lot to take in. You tell him you can't believe Malediction would mutilate Zalisi for having sex with you. He says and I quote " It's either that or he'll kill her. I dunno man, seems pretty grim. Either way she's going to be scarred for life, I'm not sure what's worse." You tell Endaklion that you get the impression Koriza is unhappy with Malediction's leadership, or at least distrusting. He tells you that's definitely true. He also says the other black dragons have distanced themselves from Malediction. They don't directly oppose him, but they certainly don't support him either. You ask him how he is aware of other black dragons before coming here, did he meet any in the Swamp we grew up in? Endaklion says he hadn't, but he suspects that there must be some that live in the Drozz region. He also believes there's other colors as well. You shake your head and dismiss him. Noting how Drozz is across the ocean known as the Furious Depths. You tell him you need to think on the situation, and head over to the balcony. You ask Endaklion how he knows the other Black dragons don't support Malediction's regime if he never met them. He tells you that they must be staying hidden and not openly opposing him like Koriza is. You state that this is no evidence, but because Endaklion has a good intuition you trust him enough to tell you that the fact Koriza is showing unhappiness with Malediction's leadership means she may very well have the support of other dragons, and both of you saw other Black dragons in this town. You ask Endaklion how he feels about Koriza, should you trust her? He thinks for a moment and then says he trusts her. Okay then. You tell him the only other viable option is you. You joke by stating sarcastically you are nonviable in that case, his brotherly support is astounding. He says don't joke about it, you are the only one who would have any hope in taking on Malediction. You tell Endaklion that you must train first, and you want to talk to Zalisi now, you fear for her mental health.

Zalisi is very much like you, she also fears for her own. As you enter, she asks you about her brother. You tell her our brother Endaklion is strong as always and that you want to know about her well-being. Zalisi tells you that the only thing causing her physical pain is stomach cramps. Her emotional and mental anguish however is causing her quite a lot of pain. You ask her if she heard what Malediction said about her... About us and our love. You hope Zalisi hasn't but you know better. Sadly. Zalisi breaks down in tears and holds your claws as she tells you that it is the only thing she thinks about, spends all her time thinking about and has driven her to a point where she sought comfort her own tears. You tell Zalisi that your love is not invalid like Malediction said. It is as real as you make it. You tell her you love her that in that case, our love is a fundamental truth and you will do everything within your power to support her. Zalisi cries a little more and tells you that she knows that, but she is afraid that you won't be able to stop Malediction. You tell Zalisi you would rather die holding her than to submit to his demands. You both decide you will talk to her brother about this, you still have some sway with him. The pair of you hug and Zalisi tells you that she loves you. You ask the two of them whether you should stay to meet your bride, the purple female Malediction mentioned. The pair of them tell you that will be better if they meet the dragon alone and explain the whole situation. You agree and say you will be back to meet your bride. You ask Zalisi what she thinks about Koriza. Zalisi replies by stating she is frightened of her, even though she admires and respects her abilities. You ask her why she frightens her. Zalisi replies that she doesn't know. It is just her demeanor, her voice, her eyes, whatever she does or says scares her. You tell Zalisi that you read about this, reds and blues don't mix. They are like fire and water, like positive and negative and that they should not be in the same presence. Zalisi replies that it is probably best they don't. You tell her even if Koriza I Zalisi's opposite, you somehow find Koriza attractive as well. Maybe you just like to dominate or be dominated. Zalisi is a little confused by this, but agrees that you shouldn't pair up with her if you have such a preference. You tell her you might want to set up a threesome. You obviously are just teasing Zalisi. Though you do wonder what it would be like with the two of them. Zalisi tells you that maybe you should just go for it, as she says that she wouldn't mind taking one for the team. You tell Zalisi you are just joking, and you want to fuck her and just her. You go into detail how before Endaklion tells you he doesn't want to hear this open discussion of your sex life. Zalisi agrees and tells you that you can discuss this later. You all go to sleep. You are rudely awaken in the morning by Koriza, demanding you to get up for training. She says all 3 of you. You all go out to train, she makes you push yourselves. You're still weak and she tells you that won't do. Koriza tells you she hopes you weren't planning on skipping this. You stop following her instructions and ask Koriza why you should listen to her, after all she works for Malediction freely! Koriza growled openly when you said she does so freely. You remind her that she works for the dragon lord that enslaved her people and she had best remember that.

She tells you to shut the fuck up, a tear forms in the corner of her eye. She asks you if it sounds good to grow up in a place where it is illegal for women to deny sex to men. You reply it sounds horrible and she should be grateful that she doesn't live in a society like that. She snaps and grabs your throat. She tells you that she is living in such society! The red female dragon commands you to listen to her story. Endaklion and Zalisi stand awestruck and agree to Koriza's demand. Koriza tells you that she was originally from the island of Korizan. It is a beautiful island and it's nickname is the Isle of Dragons. The island was ruled by a dragon lord, her father. She was a young teen with an adult sister. Malediction took them. Koriza is sobbing as she continued, saying how Malediction made her watch the numerous sexual assaults on her sister, the forceful penetrations from multiple men brought immense pain. Sister begged them to stop. There was no stop. Only forced sex to break Koriza by making her watch. When they were finished, Malediction would kill her by pushing her out of the castle. Koriza continues, stating her sister's wings were bound. After they were done violating her, she was tossed off the palace tower to die. She survived. The tears are streaming down her face. Koriza looks at you, her dark eyes soft. She states her sister committed suicide after a few weeks. The memory still haunts her. Koriza looks away. You feel immense shame over assuming who Koriza was. You ask if her sister was somehow involved in this rebellion. She states no, sister just couldn't handle the violation and torture anymore. You ask Koriza if her military career is a ploy to destroy the regime of Malediction from the inside.

She smiles and says it is. The red female dragon is a traitor. She tells you she did it to find you too, the purple dragon, and how you filled her heart with hope when she saw you. You can cure this sick regime, she says. You lean in, staring into her fiery eyes. "Do you have any plans?" you ask. "Of course," she says. "But I won't tell." You apologize to Koriza for making her remember her toxic past. She smiles. "I can't pretend to know your pain. But if you are willing to risk all to save me, I would be forever in your debt." Zalisi nervously approaches you and Koriza, she still fears Koriza but meekly tells her that she is incredibly brave. Koriza shows her gratitude, stating it is a small price to pay for the life of a dragon. You bow down to Koriza and state you are honored to be tutored by her, and that you will do anything to justify her faith in you. She smiles and tells you that is exactly what she hoped to hear. Koriza thinks you have learned enough today. She stops you and Zalisi, saying she knows spots you and Zalisi can fuck all you want without worry of detection by Malediction's spies. Zalisi blushes deep red by how forward Koriza is. Koriza leads the way to a secluded spot.

You and Zalisi follow, the two not speaking until they are alone. "Why'd you agree to this?" Zalisi asks. You tell Zalisi you need to fuck her, it has been too long. Koriza tells you she is leaving and for you two to rut as long you like. She states she will return tomorrow and you must both be ready. Zalisi looks alarmed but nods. The pair of you reach the secluded spot. You lick Your lips, looking at your blue dragon love. You tell her that while her body is a temple, you are going to desecrate and plunder it. Zalisi looks at you with lust and nods. "I love you," she says. "I love you too, Zali" You start licking her dragon face, your tongue tracing the scales as you move from her forehead to below her right eye. You run your tongue along her jawline, coming to her chin area. NSFW things happen. You consider it a success as she totally gave herself to you. Zalisi lays down next to you and whispers in your ear. "You've made me yours." You smile. You're finally home. Sadly there is a Malediction infestation. You run your claw over Zalisi's bite marks you placed on her neck by her request and tell her it is going to scar. You ask her if that is good or bad. She thinks about it for a moment. Then smiles and kisses you on the cheek as she falls asleep. You cuddle her up and fall asleep too. The next day you wake up beside her. You look at Zalisi and smile. You ask Zalisi if Koriza had forgotten them or if she expected us to make our way back ourselves. Zalisi takes a deep breath and thinks about it. You also ask what for her was the most surprising thing about you. Zalisi replies that you are incredibly strong. You tell her you think Koriza is the strongest you met for how she handles her trauma mentally. You also agree the other two you met are strong as well, but you feel an incredible connection with Koriza. You and her both lost someone very dear to us. You return to your luxury quarters with Zalisi. Later that night, Zalisi asks you if you want children. You tell her a firm "hell no" not in this awful city.

Then you ask her why she asks such a question. Zalisi says she is comfortable around you now enough to be blunt. You tell her you do not want to raise a child in a city where sexual assault is legal. You continue that no one should go through what Koriza went through. Zalisi agrees, but she is a maternal dragon. She asks what your answer would be if the situation were different. You think about it for a moment. You ask her why she cares so much, as purple dragons like yourself can't impregnate blue dragons like Zalisi. Zalisi says at least blue dragons can, but due to a very limited gene pool over the years, purple dragons cannot. You tell her that is the understatement of the millennium, literally, as that's how often Purple dragons are born. You add that you are practically sterile as an adult. You have no idea why your mother did not tell you that before. Zalisi asks if that is something that would change if you met a purple dragon female that was fertile. You ask back with a rhetorical: ''are you asking me to cheat on you?'' Zalisi looks at you with sad eyes and says no. She then says she doesn't want to settle down like a normal dragon. She wants happiness. You nuzzle her and tell her you do too, but Malediction denies the happiness of thousands and only you can stop him. Zalisi says she won't give up on that goal, but for now, you could help her by... You promise Zalisis happiness, you want her to in turn promise you her support in this rebellion. Zalisi agrees, and asks how you want to handle this major issue. You tell her being a purple dragon already stresses you out way more than you'd like, as you still have to have lengthy conversations with Endaklion and Koriza. You ask Zalisi to bring Koriza in, as meeting with her as important as this conversation was. Koriza walks in your chambers and hops next to, greeting you meanwhile. she tells you she knows how Zalisi got these bite marks, and if you had your fun. You tell her you don't want to talk about that, but the pair of you need to talk. Zalisi's chamber discussion went well. You have a chat with Koriza.

You ask Koriza about her home island, the one she was kidnapped from. Korizan. The home of the red dragons and thus her former home. You ask if she knows of any other islands. She tells you about a place called M'Ress. You ask her what about M'Ress, you want to know if it holds significance of any kind. Koriza tells you it's a lush green island filled with life and wonder. You ask her if it actually exists or is just a place in the red dragon's imagination. Koriza tells you she has never been to M'Ress, but she knows it exists. She feels it would be a perfect place to live. Your cynicism soon takes over and you look at your claws. ''Malediction would've torn it up by now if that is the case.'' Koriza becomes silent, before speaking again. Koriza tells you her island was quite big, but she knows of others. She goes on to tell you about a place called Thalatthii. You repeat the name ''Thalatthii'' and add you never heard such an exotic name. You smile a wide toothed grin which puts your dragon fangs on full display. Go on! She tells you it is a cold place, but many interesting plants and animals that exist nowhere else. You ask her why she brings it up, is there even such a thing as a white dragon? Koriza tells you that there are indeed white dragons, but few have ever left the island of Thalatthii. She doesn't know why. You propose a theory to her: ''if Reds like yourself and Blues like Zalisi are opposites, can it be that Malediction destroyed the white dragon race? It's in his character'' ''I'm not sure'' You tell her to leave it at that, and she replies fine. You tell her you need to know more about Korizan. Her home, and if other red dragons are anything like her. Koriza tells you that as far as she knows, the red dragons of Korizan are peace loving. The only thing they'll take into battle is their own dead. You snicker and ask if she is joking because Koriza is not peace loving at all. She's very aggressive and territorial. She'll fight tooth and claw to protect her home. Koriza tells you Malediction's actions forced her race to be like this. You tell her "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." and how this applies to her and the red dragons. Koriza tells you this is an old dragon proverb, which you tell her "I know. I just learned it", which makes her laugh.

You then ask her how long she's been alive. She tells you you are actually a bit older than her, but that she has kept contraband literature as she doesn't want Malediction's propaganda to influence her. You tell her you can appreciate a good joke and that if she keeps them up, she'll soon have an entire library of them. Koriza tells you there are libraries in your future. Koriza adds you are clumsy, undisciplined, tubby and that your combat stance reminds her of a rheumatic ostrich. You grin and ask if she just insulted your character. She replies "Your balance is really off'' and orders you to stand still while she adjusts your stance. This accomplished, and genuinely pleased with her assessment, you graciously thank her, and the two of you just bonded a bit. Koriza grabs a candlestick and tosses it to you. she challenges you to attack her! she seems very confident about this... You make a clumsy and weak attack at her with the candlestick. Koriza has you pinned before you could even process what just happened and calls you a Rheumatic Ostrich again. You are unsure if she is motivating or insulting you. She asks if you want to attack her again, but you are too bewildered to do anything except say, "Erm, no?" Koriza lets you go , blushing a bit as your eyes meet hers. She tells you that she likes humiliating you. You know this is Koriza's hilarious attempt at being playful, but you feel very embarrassed. You are in her clutches and she knows it. She then calls you "Baby" which doesn't help your state of mind. you tease Koriza by asking if the way she pinned you is how Red Dragons do their mating dance, implying she is likes you romantically. Koriza replies with a firm ''ew'' but something tells you she doesn't mean it at all. You tell her that she is no different than any young girl crushing on a cute hero and that you could use your superior knowledge to get her to drop her guard in such a way that you could make her submit. Koriza bares her teeth at you and tells you that's far enough. You back off, sheepishly realizing that you've gone too far. Koriza tells you that she feels like she knows you. You feel the same way about her.

Koriza tells you that you asking about other dragon civilizations is actually useful, as she can't teach you all you need to know and you will have to travel the world to fully utilize your destiny. Koriza tells you that unlike other young dragonets, you do not have an established order or hierarchy, you are truly free. You can live where you want, do what you want and be who you want. You add to what she said by stating that also makes you very lonely. You feel like no one understands you. Koriza thinks for a moment and says she understands. You decide to not question her good intentions and say ''Maybe you do, but I trust you'' as a way of making her feel comfortable enough to reveal more about herself. Koriza says that it's not really a big deal, but trust is something she's always struggled with. you agree with Koriza, Trust is very important but it's sometimes hard to know exactly who you can trust. Koriza says that the other dragons don't really trust each other, and she in particular doesn't trust anyone. You agree again and say that's why you feel so alone. You tell her that even you and your brother, Endaklion, are sometimes wary of each other Koriza tells you that it's not as bad as it could be though and then takes a pause for thought before continuing. She then goes on to tell you that the other dragons respect her - which is good, but they still don't completely trust her. You tell her Zalisi finds her aggressive mannerisms intimidating, but that she too, respects her leadership qualities and military expertise. Koriza comments that the other dragons seem to think both of you are too young to rule over the others. You tell her you didn't exactly apply or ask for being a purple dragon either. Koriza agrees, but some of the dragons seem to think that maybe you ARE the rightful successors of the ancient purple dragon rulers of this land. You ask her a hypothetical: ''what if I would go on vacation and just run from my destiny?'' She tells you to shut up and that is the last thing she wants to think about, as that would mean the hope thousands have in you will die in a whimper.

You say you're sorry. Koriza states purple dragons are chosen by qualities of their soul, and thus it's extremely unlikely for one to ignore their destiny. She tells you that she doesn't want to think about it right now, but your destiny is yours whether you like it or not. You ask Koriza how she feels about Endaklion, your black dragon brother and Malediction's son. She tells you that while she doesn't trust him, she's willing to put in front of any potential alliance or conflict. You tell Koriza than Endaklion hates who his father is. a rapist. an abuser. a murderer. all things considered. Koriza tells you that he doesn't hate him, and actually isn't sure what he feels due to never getting to spend much time with him. You decide to tease the red dragon again, by telling her Endaklion is gay and that she shouldn't try anything. She doesn't particularly find this funny and asks if you are actually trying to insult her. You compliment her by saying it's hard to insult her as there is so little bad about her. She's moved now, and states she even likes you a little bit. You tell her the feeling is mutual. You ask her what Malediction has called this city, anyway. She tells you it used to be called Rekton, but was renamed to ''Maledictan'' by him. You're surprised he's called it something as lame as that. You tell Koriza that Malediction must have an enormous ego and is in love with himself if he names his city like that. She laughs and agrees, but says this is just one of many things about him that she doesn't like. You promise Koriza she is the one that gets to land the killing blow when you are done with Malediction. She smiles and says she would like that. You begin reminiscing about the good old days when you first bonded with your sister. You tell Koriza how you miss those times. You tell her everything used to be so simple, and now everything is so complicated. She sympathizes and agrees that our kin were far superior then. She goes on to tell you that after killing Malediction she would be willing to work to bring back the old days when things were simpler. You want to know where Nevermoor lies, the village you lived for a few months before coming here. You ask her. She tells you it's on a small island. It's the only human settlement within a large area of swampland.

You ask how far away it is from your current position. She says it's at least a few days journey by open water. you ask if it´s another continent then. She says that it is, but taking a ship would take too long as they don't travel across the vast oceans here. She adds that Nevermoor is a site Malediction uses to kidnap humans and dragons, and that´s how you got lured here. You are shocked. She says she has no idea why, but was surprised as well, when you told her where you came from. You state that Malediction´s reach has infected far too many lands, but that his kidnapping made you meet Koriza and that is an upside. Koriza says that you shouldn't worry, and that she will make sure to make the landing as brutal as possible. Koriza tells you that your arranged wedding with the female purple dragon is soon, and if you got any questions. To ask now. You ask her what this purple dragon you´re marrying is like. Koriza growls and states ''Entitled, Sadistic and Crude. I know I can be a handful, but she is something else!'' Koriza does not like this dragon at all! You decide not to dwell upon it and ask why the wedding is so early. Koriza explains that Malediction wanted it held sooner to help the dragon clan gain ground quicker. You sarcastically add if Malediction is going to shove lust pills down your gullet to make it even more efficient Koriza says: ''this is not a joke you colossal idiot. Disarria is a total bitch'' Koriza glares at you, you figure the female purple dragon you are marrying is named Disarria. Koriza explains that you will be woken in the early morning to travel to the wedding location, and you will return the next day. You ask Koriza why she has no faith in Disarria while she sees you as savior Koriza tells you that Disarria is a conformist who refuses to train with her as she feels she is too good to work with Koriza. She believes that if you just show up to the wedding, Disarria will be so impressed with you that she will marry you immediately after. Koriza is confident that this marriage will be miserable for you. You ask Koriza why Disarria would like you at all. Koriza and states that Disarria only thinks Purple dragons are good enough for her.

You tell Koriza you are not like that, and that if you weren't taken that you would've asked Koriza out. Koriza blushes a bit and then grins. She shrugs and says perhaps she would've said yes. You ask Koriza if you should go along with the wedding with Disarria and play along, or resist and flee the city. Koriza replies that you shouldn't worry about it, as the latter is a foolish choice. She adds that marriage is just a silly ceremony anyway. You agree. You tell Koriza you are worried what Malediction will do when you refuse to have children with Disarria. Koriza replies that if that was really a problem she wouldn't have mentioned it, and that you shouldn't worry about such things. You smirk and thank her, saying that you trust a specialist like her to have plenty of misdirection to use in our advantage Koriza smiles and says that you have a good instinct about things. You thank Koriza for her time and for her to call Endaklion in your personal chambers. Koriza bluntly states she's moving in with you. You like this idea but don't respond to her. You sit and wait for your companion who comes in. "You wanted to see me?" Endaklion asks. "Yes, long time we had a proper chat." You respond. Endaklion asks you about the marks on Zalisi's neck and how she got them. You explain briefly and then ask Endaklion for his thoughts on the situation. Endaklion thinks for a bit and then says he really isn't sure what to make of it. You tell him Zalisi requested you to bite her. You ask him what he thinks about that. "Well, I wouldn't if I were her. Though granted it is her body and I can't really stop you." He explains. You ask if Zalisi knows such bite marks last for life, meaning she carries your mark for life. "Yes, and I'm sure she's aware of the full implications of it." You ask him if these implications mean lifelong romantic commitment. Again he pauses and thinks for a bit. "I think so." He says. "You think so? Or you're sure so?" You ask. "I'm sure so." He says. You nod and ask something else entirely. That being how he is feeling due our crazy adventure, and finding out he is Malediction's son. "I'm fine." He says. "Bull. You're clearly bothered by something." You say. "I'm fine." He says.

"Bull. You're obviously upset about something." You reply. "I'm fine." He repeats. "I'm your brother. I can smell your emotions, your fears, and you're clearly hiding something. Now stop being a child and tell me what's wrong." You demand. "Fine!" Endaklion looks up to the sky for a moment, breathes in deeply and then begins to speak. "I'm sorry..." He says. "I don't want to burden you with this. It's just... I'm starting to wonder if being a black dragon is actually all that great. You tell him evil is not dictated by what species you are, but who you are. "True." He says. "However, I don't think the rules regarding good and evil really apply to me." You agree with Endaklion as he is nothing like Malediction. "I... HATE that I'm Malediction's son" He says. "I could have been a hero!t He continues "But now I'm going to be a monster that fills his shoes! You tell him that this is exactly why he won't become that way. You feel Endaklion's heart won't allow him to turn evil. "Perhaps." He replies. You add "Definitely" in your head. "I'll do everything I can to not become him." Endaklion says with a heavy sigh. You ask him what you should do regarding the wedding with Disarria. "Just go with it." You're told. You state how weddings are silly ceremonies and that the bite marks you put on Zalisi are far more bonding. "Those were no act of love." He says. "They were a primal urge for sexual release." "Don't forget symbolic." You add. "Yeah, symbols." He says. You snarl back how it is real love to you and Zalisi! You snarl. You are embarrassed and then stop since you know you need to calm down or else Endaklion will think you're the bad guy here. "I suppose it is." He says. You apologize "sorry, but I love her, and she wanted these bite marks to have it shown" "Don't worry about it!" He laughs. You tell Endaklion you are retreating to your bedroom as it is late and Zalisi the Blue Dragon needs cuddles. You close your door and immediately go to Zalisi who says "you're a little later than usual" You tell her you had to get everyone on the same page and get all the info on the table. "Aw!" She says. "You were busy." You kiss her and hold her close.

"I missed you. You joke for her to not be that dramatic as you saw her a few hours ago. "A few hours?" She asks. "It felt like forever." You laugh and ask her what she was doing. "waiting for you." You tell her that no matter you have to wed Disarria or not, that it is just a silly ceremony with no meaning and that you love Zalisi and that is all that matters. "I think it's lovely." Zalisi says "But let us not dwell on that anymore, I wanted to talk to you about something else..." You let out a questioning yet playful growl. "I'm pregnant." Zalisi say. You are shocked You ask her why if this is why she brought up that she wants children earlier today. "I was going to tell you when we made love the other day!" She says in a slightly annoyed tone. "I really wanted that to happen." "Well...great! That is great news!" You quip sarcastically You tell Zalisi that she needs to flee the city post haste, as Malediction will mutilate her for having sex with you. "I'm sure you're joking." Zalisi says. You deadpan and state at her "I'm telling Koriza to bring you to safety. I'm sorry" Zalisi laughs and says that she'll be fine and not to worry. Then the mood becomes a little more somber. You tell her that when she produces the eggs with your children, to either destroy them or flee the city. "I know." Zalisi says. "It's just hard to grasp. I love you and I'm glad we're going to be parents. You tell her you can't expect her to destroy the eggs and that she is leaving tomorrow You add this is a command. Zalisi hugs you one last time and tells you she loves you. The next day, Zalisi leaves the city with a small escort. Koriza comes to console you "You had to make this call, for Zalisi's safety. You did me proud by being able to make the decision." "I don't think I really did. I mean I tried my best, but I thought about the possibility of her never returning. And what would I do then?" Koriza reaffirms you that the location she is headed is so remote and sparsely populated that Malediction has no interest in attacking it. Good thing too, since that gives you a little more time to prepare. A week passes and you are visited by Disarria.

The purple dragon female enters your chambers were you , Endaklion and Koriza are. Disarria shows you a wide-toothed grin and says "take a guess who I am~" Koriza cringes. You have no idea and ask "is it someone I don't know?" Disarria chuckles and replies "oh you sweet dragon. Yes, it might just be that simple" You take a sarcastic guess "the sweet release of death?" Koriza chuckles. Disarria shakes her head "on the bright side, that IS one way to end this never aging joke" Koriza , Endaklion and you all ask what she means by this. "Look around you" Disarria says. You nod and tell Disarria this city is a cruel cosmic joke of sorts. "A better question being are we the fools or are those around you?" "I don't think we can ever know that for sure" you reply to Disarria. "Right now, the chances are looking better for those around us. But who knows? The joke may be on all of us yet" You nod. Disarria tells you she wants to get to know you better as you two are arranged to marry and asks you to have the day out with her for this. You gladly agree and the two of you head out. She seems a nice girl. Endaklion seems a little preoccupied however. You arrive at the palace gardens for your meeting and you take a moment to bask in the sun and relax as you wait for Disarria. Soon she arrives, and you take a look at what Disarria looks like. She is a very attractive and seductive looking dragon. You wonder to yourself if her personality matches up. "You called for me?" You ask. "Ah I see beautiful dragon. You are even more beautiful in person" Disarria says, while tilting her head slightly to the right as she looks at you. You blush deep red and look away "honest?" You ask. "Oh yes. But please, don't let my looks fool you. I can be a very friendly dragon" Disarria says with a wink. You are not sure whether or not to trust her and ask her why Koriza dislikes her so much. She seems very surprised by this question and you explain "she was very hostile when I first saw her, almost aggressively so. You tell Disarria that you don't buy that as she respects us purple dragons a lot and seems very open about the subject. "Oh that? Yes, she and I had an argument on the matter long ago. It's all in the past though now" Disarria says.

You tell her it is still important to know and add that Koriza considers Disarria "untrainable" which causes a strange look from Disarria. You ask her for her side of the story on the argument. "Well, let's just say... I have certain charms that lead men astray" Disarria says with a wink. You blush again as this comment is not lost on Disarria. You ask if Disarria and Koriza competed for the same males. "Oh yes. Especially the younger and hotter ones" Disarria laughs. You tell Disarria that Koriza is a good friend of you, but that Koriza certainly has a feisty temper. "Oh yes, she and I have more than a few fiery interactions on that matter" Disarria says. You say "Koriza thinks you are a spoiled brat and that marrying you will be my largest mistake in my life" you stay neutral, not accusing Disarria is a spoiled brat or not. Disarria's eyes widen in surprise as she covers her mouth with her claw. She then bursts into laughter. "Oh yes, she said that to me. And how!" Disarria says, mocking Koriza's old rivalrous tone with her. You ask Disarria if she could be a bit more gentle on Koriza, as Koriza has it tough already. "Oh yes, I'll make sure she's the happiest dragon in the land. As for how, I'm flexible!" Disarria says then laughs. You ask Disarria what she was told about prior to you two meeting. "Oh yes, Malediction said he was going to take advantage of me" Disarria says. You shake your head at this "he wants us as our pawns, Disarria. I don't like him" you say, but Disarria says it's all right, she just wants to "get to know you better" before moving on her plans. You tell her that you do not trust or want to serve Malediction, ever! "Oh yes, I'm sure you wouldn't. That's why I want to move things along, so we can be together" Disarria says and puts her claws on your shoulders. You tell Disarria that she is the most majestic being you saw yet, you flirt that you don't believe her beauty can be outdone. This causes Disarria to laugh and put her head on your shoulder. "You flatter me" she says and moves her head so it's looking upwards and her eye is staring at you. You tell there is a large problem, a blue dragon named Zalisi whom you got together with before even knowing about the arranged wedding.

"Oh, I can think of better ways to spend my time than worrying about her. You just need to get that one under control and we'll be fine" Disarria says. You tell her that Zalisi carries your egg. You have impregnated her, she had to flee as Malediction wanted to mutilate her privates as punishment. "She'll be a handful, but then how could she not be after that?" "Disarria, I don't want to be cruel, but I need to know what you expect from me" "What do you mean? I expect you to stay by my side until the day I get my kingdom, or at least a nearby island, so we can rule over it together! You tell Disarria your heart lies with Zalisi. You loved her before you even knew she was carrying your child. You tell Disarria that you can't marry her, you don't love her. Disarria's eye widens and she rears back a bit. "You...you just don't love me? You're going to lead me on like this? I was going to be your queen! "Malediction forced our fate, not me. He arranged our wedding. I cannot control whom I love" You snark back. Disarria's nostrils flare and she opens her mouth to say something but stops herself. You ask her if she was waiting for you her entire life, as finding another purple dragon like yourself or Disarria is not happening due to how rare purples are. Disarria turns her head away to hide her expression. She either is laughing to herself or perhaps very angry. "I had no idea you were the queen of gloom, let alone a princess. You're a lost cause anyway" you say. Disarria snaps back to look at you. "I'm not a gloomba" she hisses. You tell her to answer the question: "Did you wait for someone like me most of your life?!" "Yes" She answers herself. You attempt to reassure her "that was something Malediction told you for his own gain. He used your need for romance against you" Disarria rolls her eyes and takes a step back from you. "You don't understand! You can't understand! "try me." You respond. Disarria takes a deep breath and begins to explain. She says that for most of her life she didn't feel anything. She says her dragon brethren were easily agitated and flighty but she herself felt nothing. She says her mother was close to despair and just wanted her children to live so she could lay down dying.

Disarria says that for the first time, when she saw you, she felt joy. You pat Disarria on the head affectionately. "This city and it's regime are really awful. You know what happened to Koriza's sister?" You are hinting at the sexual brutalities. "Yes, I do...indeed I am lucky to not have had such an experience. You tell Disarria that Malediction and his culture of sexual slavery and regular tyranny made many victims, and that you and Disarria can end this as you are the prophetical purple dragons. "We are strong enough to topple this regime. We are smart enough to run this kingdom. It is our duty as rulers to free our people. This can be our destiny together" "You seem very certain" Disarria says, tilting her head. "Because I am." You respond. You add that you got no choice, and not has she. This is our true destiny. "So, you agree?" "I don't think it will be as easy as you seem to think. "Do you have another suggestion? You have no idea. You've never considered this wrinkle before, and it is quite intriguing. You tell Disarria that you need her knowledge exactly because of this. She is essential to bring this destiny into reality. "Well that's OK then" Disarria says with a sigh. "But you understand the risk?" "High" You tell Disarria that she is a lovely creature and you expected a crony of Malediction instead. "I'm told I'm not as bad looking as he is." Disarria smiles. You laugh and tell her that she should be proud of what she is and put the blame all on Malediction. You tell Disarria you will test her loyalty shortly after you being wed, and that it will be obvious when the choice is presented. "Then, I make my choice. I'm loyal to you" You nod. "Is there anything you want to know about me personally?" This introduction was meant to be fun, after all... "What do you like to do in your spare time?"
