TLOS legend of the black dragon chapter 17 childhood memories
This is to give you guys a little bit more insight in the situation of Georga and what Oxidus used to be. It was a lot of fun to write as I like these childlike things. But also that scene in the end was very nice.
The Legend of Spyro
Legend of the black dragon
Chapter 17 childhood Memories
A young female earth dragon was waking up from her sleep.
She yawned as she stretched her body to loosen her joints.
She was 9 years old and very thin in build. She had a large brown globe on the end of her tail that she could use to deliver painful smacks. However she was mostly kind and generous.
The dragoness yawned again as she looked outside
The sun was shining and it looked like it was going to be a beautiful day although it was cold since it was the middle of winter.
The earth dragoness then looked to her side and saw a male earth dragon of the same age who was still sound asleep.
He was slightly larger than she was but only just. He also had a large brown boulder on the end of his tail. It looked a bit like the globe of the female but it was diamond shaped instead of round. He also had smaller horns than her but they still had the female's rim. His build was tall and slender just like the female. He looked a bit fragile for an earth dragon but he could still mostly hold is own in fights. However he looked more like a dolt now than anything else.
"Hey wake up there you lazy slacker!" She said as she gave him a poke with her shoulder.
"Huh? Please mate with me beauty" The earth dragon mumbled. He was still partially asleep and his eyes were narrow slits as they were still half covered by his eyelids. With his just half his sight he could only identify the object standing in front of him as a dragoness.
The dragoness growled with closed jaws and drew an annoyed face while she smacked him on his head with her tail globe.
"Au! Georga!" He cried as he rubbed his head. He was now fully awake and aware of who the dragoness was.
"I would keep my mouth shut about that if I were you" Georga warned.
"But that still hurt you know" The earth dragon complained.
"Hey be happy I did it, I think that you would be sleeping on your belly for ten days straight if Volt would have heard about it" Georga shot back.
"I would have heard what?" A thundering voice sounded as a large electric dragon appeared from behind the curtain.
"Um, that he was nagging about not having breakfast yet" Georga lied.
"Really?" Volt raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, man I'm starving" The earth dragon pretended hoping it would work since it wasn't as bad as the real thing.
"Okay then I will be at it but I don't want to hear a single nag from either of you understand!?" He said sternly.
"Understand" Georga and the earth dragon replied in unison.
After Volt had left the male earth dragon signed "Thanks Georga I owe you one"
"You sure do Gaius and remember that I will let you pay for it" Georga said smirking.
"Georga" Gaius said a bit hurt.
"Sorry, live with it" Georga sneered.
"Come here you!" Gaius jumped at her and the two had a play fight in their room.
"Breakfast!" The voice of Volt sounded after some time.
"Yay!" The two young dragons ran excitably out of their room.
Volt had put down a large metal scale on the floor and the earth couple quickly ran over to it and began gorging themselves.
Volt stomped on the floor causing a hard blow and the floor to shake.
Georga and Gaius jumped up from the blow and looked up fearfully at their huge electric parent.
"You wait for older dragons to start eating before you start yourself" Volt scolded down at them.
"Yes Volt" The two whimpered, again almost in perfect unison.
Now the two dragons waited patiently for Volt to start eating and then some more minutes before starting themselves.
After the scale was empty Volt put it back and spotted Georga walking up to him.
"Can we go to Oxidus?" She asked.
"Sure, you two go ahead" Volt said now sounding warmer.
"Thanks Volt" Georga hugged his large leg before running back to Gaius.
"Let's go to Oxidus" She said cheerfully.
"Yeah and to Igüsa" Gaius replied.
"Can't you ever think about something other than dragonesses?" Georga asked rolling with her eyes.
"Nope" Gaius chirped.
"Let's go" She said annoyed.
"Okay"
The two dragons spread their tiny wings and prepared themselves. They ran on the ground to build up speed. When they had enough speed they jumped and took two the skies.
Dragons below the age of 10 often have problems flying because their wings are small in comparison with their bodies. They can't fly while stationary; they need to have sufficient speed in order to build up the lift necessary to fly.
The tiny couple reached an old decayed house after about 20 minutes of flying.
The tiny dragons circled around and lined up from the streets to use it as a runway for landing.
Georga dropped down and glided a few seconds over the streets. Then she decreased speed by changing the angle of her wings. She slowly glided down and the second she felt the ground she started to run.
Georga needed about five metres of street to come to a halt.
Just when Georga had stopped running she spotted Gaius running six metres further before finally standing still.
Georga had always been a better flyer than her brother and she had learned it earlier than him as well.
Georga waited for him to get back to her and the two now stood before the door.
They looked suggestively at each other and after a couple of seconds Gaius took the initiative and knocked on the door using his tail.
After a few minutes a large male electric dragon opened the door. He was slightly smaller than Volt was but still large. He had quite a number of battle scars and he looked very strong.
However the Georga and Gaius knew he was very nice and friendly.
"Good day Thundus" The tiny earth dragon twins said in unison.
"Georga!" An excited voice sounded from the home.
Thundus didn't speak but moved smilingly aside and let his son through while he ran up to Georga.
"Would you believe it?! I'm going to have a-" He started.
"Oxidus" Thundus sounded punitive.
"Yes daddy" Oxidus replied.
"Why don't you come inside" Thundus said warmly.
Gaius and Georga looked very puzzled at each other while they entered the house.
"Hallo Georga, Gaius" A small red fire dragoness said with a warm voice. She was of a low build and had a heavy decorated body. Unlike normal fire dragons she had yellow frills on her chest. Unlike the male however she clearly was no fighter.
"Hallo Fuoca" The twins replied in unison once again.
"Why hi there Igüsa" Gaius said seductively when he spotted her laying half asleep on her bed.
Georga growled at him and he shut his mouth.
Igüsa was lying a bit curled up in her nest shaped bed. She was lying with her back facing them and because of that Georga could clearly see the blood on her bed. There was a large spot of dried blood around the where she was laying with her hips and it had dissipated somewhat so it was rather a bit vague.
Igüsa's smell was very strong in the room as well and that her brother acted seductively was no surprise to her.
It was a bit of a spicy smell and it felt very pleasant for a fertile male. However for a female and especially such a young one it is perceived as a horrible stench and Georga's nostrils narrowed instinctively.
Even though he was not fertile yet Gaius was still a male so the smell had a different effect on him.
The smell was already there for about a month so it didn't bother Georga that much anymore. When she looked further she saw that the bed of Fuoca didn't have blood on it anymore. This was strange because the last time she was here it still had. Dragons didn't bother cleaning it because it would be red again the next day so that was a pointless effort. So why was it clean now?
Also the hot scent of Fuoca seemed to be gone. Normally it was here as well mixing with the spicy scent of Igüsa. The two scents made it even more unpleasant so Georga was happy that it was gone but it still made her curious.
"Why is it gone?" Georga thought a bit confused.
"Why don't you young ones go and play now" Fuoca suggested breaking Georga's curiosity
"Okay mommy" Oxidus replied.
"3, 2, 1, 0! Who isn't gone is seen, I come" Georga shouted as she got up from Oxidus' bed and opened her eyes.
Oxidus and Gaius had disappeared and Georga began searching for them.
Georga looked around the house but made sure she never got too far from the buutplace.
She first walked around the only couch in the house to look but there was no one there.
She then went to the kitchen but she found no one there either.
"Buutfree!" Georga turned to see Oxidus lying on his bed like he was hugging something precious.
"Buutfree already?" Gaius appeared from behind Igüsa who was still sleeping despite all the dragons shouting and running around.
"Gaius!" Georga shouted doing her best to imitate Volt's punitive voice.
"What? What did I wrong this time?" Gaius protested very ignorant.
"Can you ever stay away from my sister?" Oxidus now joined Georga's side.
"Oh, I don't mind it" Igüsa said while she lifted up her head. She wasn't sleeping after all but was just slacking.
"Well Oxidus now it's your turn" Georga said looking at him and then at his bed that was the buutplace.
Oxidus laid down on his bed as he was now it. He covered his eyes with his paws and started counting "30, 29, 28, 27, 26-" He counted out loud.
Georga looked around the house in search of a good hiding place.
She spotted Gaius disappearing behind the couch and she quickly turned back to searching a spot to hide before Oxidus was done counting.
She ran out of the house and disappeared behind one of the bushes.
The branches of the bush pricked a little but the tough scales of a dragon could easily take that. It didn't hurt her at all, it just felt uncomfortable.
Oxidus' parents were still in the house but they didn't mind the little dragons running around. They just tried their best to do their business and stay out of the children's way.
"3, 2, 1, 0! Who isn't gone is seen, I come!" Georga heard Oxidus shouting.
She just stayed in the bushes hoping Oxidus' wouldn't spot her in there. She waited for a chance that she could outrun him and reached the buutplace first.
"Buut Gaius!" She heard after a few minutes indicating that Oxidus had found her brother.
Luckily for her Georga was jade green and brown so the bush camouflaged her very well.
She then noticed that Oxidus had walked in the garden and was checking the bushes one by one.
When he had reached the one Georga was hiding in she held her breath and hoped he wouldn't see her.
He apparently didn't spot her as he walked towards the next bush and searched for her there.
She waited for him until he was a few metres away from her and then she jumped out of the bush and raced towards Oxidus' bed.
"Hey wait you!" Oxidus yelled while he ran towards his bed as well trying to buut her.
However Georga's lead was far too great and she could make a buutfree before Oxidus had a chance to do anything.
Now it was Georga's turn again and the three dragons continued their hide and seek game for about an hour.
"Do you young ones want a snack?" Fuoca asked interrupting their game.
"Yeah!", "For sure!", "I'm starving" The small dragons all cheered.
The family was not very rich but still had enough food. They were given a shared bowl of meat that Fuoca had first cut into pieces. Georga would have preferred a Taviboah but she never got one with Oxidus.
The young dragons quickly jumped on it and started eating. The constant games had made them quite hungry.
When they were eating Georga and her brother rarely had problems with each other and neither did Oxidus so they ate in peace.
When they were finished Georga suddenly remembered something.
"Hey Oxidus? Ember told me she was going to play with a friend of her right about now. Why don't we go and join her?" Georga asked Oxidus but also Gaius.
"Yeah, she is the most charming one there is" Gaius said dreamingly.
Georga gave him a soft blow in his back with her tailglobe
Gaius coughed and knew it was an unwanted comment.
"So wanna go?" Georga asked again.
"For sure" Oxidus said after gorging down the last strip of meat.
"Mommy, can I go to with Georga and Gaius to go and play with the other dragons?" Oxidus asked his mother.
"Of course you can sweetie" Fuoca said kindly "Just be back before dinner"
"I will mommy" Oxidus said.
Georga giggled at Oxidus. Oxidus was adored and sometimes even feared by the other young dragons because of his unbelievable power. That he still called both his parents mommy and daddy sounded very funny.
"Igüsa, I want you to go with them and look after them" Fuoca ordered.
"Is she going to join me?" Gaius asked before getting another smack from Georga.
"Mwaaa, do I really have to?" Igüsa complained tiresomely lifting up her head.
"Yes Igüsa you have to" Fuoca ordered kindly but it also sounded very clear and refusing it sounded difficult.
Grumbling Igüsa stood up and walked up to the little dragons to escort them.
"Have fun" Thundus said to them as he joined his lifemate's side.
"Bye" Oxidus said to both his parents before running out of the house to joining up with Georga.
The young friends just walked to the playground instead of flying. Igüsa followed them but made sure to keep out of their way.
Flying was still a bit difficult for the young dragons so they didn't if it wasn't far. Especially Oxidus was a poor flyer because he had a very heavily build body.
"So what do you guys think? Did I make an impression on her?" Gaius asked looking back at the dragoness following them a few metres away.
"Oxidus, what was it you wanted to say before your dad cut you off?" Georga asked ignoring Gaius.
"I'm not allowed to tell anyone Georga" Oxidus said a bit sorry.
"Okay, fine then" Georga shrugged.
"Ember brought that new dragon with her yesterday" Georga said "What was his name again? Frame? Grame? Fame?"
"It was Flame" Gaius corrected with a smirk.
"Oh, yes Flame" Georga repeated.
The young dragons continued talking about their friends and before they knew it they had reached the playground.
"Hey Ember!" Georga shouted when she spotted her.
"Hey Georga! Come on up" Ember shouted back from on top of the wooden playhouse.
The whelpling Ember looked like the most innocent little dragoness you could imagine. Her light pink scales was very different from the darker colour of any other dragons. Her chubby cheeks, heart shaped tail appendix and overall rounded appearance made her just the cutest thing.
The climbing frame Ember was on was made of wood and stood about 3,6 metres high. It was a large wooden box with a few tiny holes into it that functioned as windows allowing it to look like a tiny house. Young dragons entered and exited the house through a small tunnel dug underneath. There was a steep slope on one side of the frame. The slope was littered with nodules and bumps. It was possible for dragons to climb up the slope but it was tough, what of course was the fun of it. There was also a slide on the box on the opposite site of the slope.
The climbing frame stood in a box of soft white sand. The playground was in a small square near the centre of the city of Warfang. The street right next to it was a large open space. It was often used as a battleground for sparring matches.
"I'll be right there" Georga shouted as she spread her tiny wings and jumped. In one fluid motion she was right next to her friend on top of the climbing frame.
Gaius looked green eyed towards her while he used the steep slope to get up. Gaius couldn't fly as well as Georga could nor was as fluid, agile and swift as she was.
The second Georga was on the wooden box Ember gave her a push with her horns and Georga understood the challenge right away. She pushed her horns against Ember's and the two dragonesses tried to push the other off the box.
Igüsa laid down a few metres from the sandbox. She kept an eye on their activities but never spoke or involved herself. She would only intervene if things got out of control. She would rather be doing something else now but she had done this very often.
In the strength contest on top of the climbing frame Ember finally got the upper hand and Georga was standing close to the edge.
Ember smirked as she prepared to give Georga the final push, using her large horns.
However Georga got to her hind legs and grabbed Ember by the horns as Ember rammed her.
They both fell off of the frame together and fell down into the sandbox below. Georga fell down on her back and Ember fell down on her belly on in a right angle on top of Georga.
"Georga, you okay?" Oxidus ran over to where the two girls where lying.
However he quickly saw them laughing and knew nothing was wrong.
"So where is your new friend?" Georga asked Ember while they were still lying on top of each other.
"Flame said that he had to finish his chore before he could come and play" Ember answered not moving from her position either.
Suddenly Georga rolled underneath Ember and the two dragonesses had a fierce wrestling match.
Oxidus was already excited by the tug war so he jumped in to join the fight.
Gaius jumped in from on top the climbing frame and the four dragons continued their play fight in the sand while Igüsa continued to watch and look for any reason that she might have to intervene.
"That's enough rough housing for now" Ember said as she got up and shook to remove the sand from her scales.
"Um, hallo" A weak voice said.
As she got up Georga spotted a strong looking brightly coloured fire dragon walk into the playground.
"Hi Flame, want to join in?" Ember asked gleeful like always.
"Um, I-" Flame took a step back looking a bit shy.
"Come on Flame" Georga urged as she shook the sand off.
"Well I rather get back" Flame stammered despite having just arrived.
Georga almost felt insulted by it and she nudged suggestively to Oxidus and her brother.
They nudged back indicating that they understood what she wanted.
Oxidus and Gaius ran towards Flame. Oxidus positioned himself on Flame's right side and Gaius on his left.
Flame quickly was switching his view back and forth from the dragons. He was clearly scared and shy.
"You're coming with us" Oxidus said very stern but Georga could clearly hear that he was laughing inside.
"Please let me go" Flame whimpered.
Ember stood idle for a time not knowing what to do with the situation. Since Ember was the only one who knew Flame well they waited for her to give instructions.
"Bring him over here boys, let's put him down the slide" She sneered evilly after making her decision.
Oxidus and Gaius bit into the wings of Flame on their respective sides and dragged him along.
Flame tried to resist but on his own was no match for the two strong dragons.
They didn't bite hard enough to hurt Flame but just enough to stop him from escaping.
Georga helped the boys push Flame up the steep slope by pushing Flame from underneath.
When they were on the top they released Flame but kept close by while they were catching their breath.
Flame tried to spread his wings in an attempt to fly away but Georga jumped on him and prevented him from going anywhere.
"Now to go down again" Georga said while she got off of him and bit his horn.
She dragged him towards the slide by his horns.
Georga released Flame when they had reached the start of the slide and left him there.
Flame was cringed in and wasn't moving at all.
Now Oxidus had also gotten up the wooden box and spotted Flame frozen on the top of the slide.
He braced himself and raced towards the fire dragon who was still cowering on the beginning of the slide and didn't notice him.
Oxidus hit Flame right in the back and that pushed him over the edge.
Flame glided down and because he was Oxidus couldn't stop his speed anymore and also glided down.
Flame fell with his head into the sand and Oxidus with his belly on top of him.
Flame struggled to get away but Oxidus held him down and was not going to let that happen.
Flame struggled to get away but with Oxidus lying on his tailbase and Flame was half buried in the sand that was impossible. Flame was making helpless grapping movements. This was pointless as well because Oxidus was on top of him and therefore Flame couldn't reach him.
Georga and Gaius were laughing at the silly fight between the two fire dragons.
"Come on Oxidus, you don't have to restrain Flame anymore" Ember came up to them to save Flame.
Oxidus lifted himself off of Flame and Flame quickly got out from underneath him. He ran like a scared little hatchling towards Ember and cringed to be able to disappear behind her. He was making scared squeaking sounds and looked very pathetic.
Georga looked bewildered at the sight of the fire dragon acting so scared and weak. This Flame took shyness to a whole new level.
She now heard Igüsa chuckle as well. From her position a few metres away.
"Hey Flame, want to battle?" Oxidus asked the scared dragon who was hiding behind Ember.
"What! You? Me? You want to fight me!?" Flame stammered from behind his pink hiding spot.
"Yeah why not?" Ember sidestepped to reveal Flame hiding behind her.
"Come Flame, show him what your made of" Igüsa encouraged.
"Well, I rather not-" Flame stammered.
"But you will" Ember said clearly with an very maternal sounding voice.
"Go on Flame, Oxidus will go easy on you right" Georga looked suggestively towards her friend.
Oxidus signed "All right" He said as he obviously hated it that he couldn't go all out. Oxidus loved to battle so that he didn't like it that he had to restrain himself.
"Well I-" Flame still didn't do it. However the pressure of all their expecting faces finally proved too much for him.
"Okay I will! But only one!" He shouted as he shot up from his cringing position almost like he was spring loaded.
He tried to look strong but he only looked even funnier and everyone made a blowing sound as they tried not to laugh at him.
Flame and Oxidus where standing face to face on the battle arena next to the playground.
Igüsa seemed more alert now as she knew how powerful her brother could be. She still allowed them to battle but was ready to stop it if that was necessary.
Oxidus looked fierce and ready for battle. Georga knew that it was just his aptitude for battle that made him like that so she didn't worry about it. He still was thinking clearly and wouldn't go all out. Energy seemed to be radiating from him as if it came from an overfilled power supply. Georga had always loved to see Oxidus battle, when in the arena he always seemed incredible.
Flame on the other hand looked still doubtful and timid. He looked like he was awaiting a punishment and barely showed any signs strength at all. He apparently had no will to battle and wished this to be as short as possible.
The sharp contrast between the moods of the two battlers was so appearing that it made Georga chuckle.
"Let's see who wins, your boyfriend or Ember's" Gaius whispered to her.
Georga growled at him but he just smirked.
Ember acted as referee and she knew what to say having heard it before during other matches. "Ready, get set, Fight!" she shouted slamming her small wings down in an x like fashion.
Oxidus tensed but didn't move a muscle. This was strange because he usually was quick to move. Georga suspected it was because he promised to go easy on Flame.
Flame tensed and didn't move a muscle either. He did it from fear and he seemed totally paralyzed with fright.
The two fire dragon stood glaring in each other's eyes for about five minutes with neither one of them making a move. They both were tense, one from excitement and one from fear.
"Come on you two!" Gaius shouted, having little patience "This is a sparring match not a staring contest!"
Oxidus wanted Flame to make the first move so that he could estimate his battle strength as he promised to go easy. However as it seemed Flame was never going to make a move he took the initiative instead. He sprinted towards Flame and rammed him with his horns hard in his chest.
Flame skated along the street and slammed against a building. He didn't hit the building hard at all so he wasn't injured. But still he didn't move from his spot.
"Well... come on Flame, even if you have very little power, at least do something" Oxidus shouted also low on patience because of the staring contest.
"But I-" Flame stammered.
Oxidus growled and shot a red hot fire stream towards the cringing fire dragon.
The fire completely surrounded the dragon in seconds and he looked much to scared to do anything.
Flame quickly disappeared into the hot flames but he screams of agony were very easy to hear.
"Oxidus stop! That's enough!" Igüsa shouted at him.
Oxidus instantly stopped his attack and ran to Flame as he now realized that he was causing him pain.
Flame was still lying in the same position on the ground since he collided with the building.
"Did I hurt you?" Oxidus asked worrying.
"Um, no, don't worry" Flame got to his feet and didn't look injured at all.
Georga was quite surprised that although it was painful Flame didn't have any injuries at all. No burns, no bruises, nothing.
"Well I really ought to get going" Flame stammered he was clearly desperate to get away.
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow Flame" Ember said still sounding cheerful.
"Bye" Flame still managed to produce before awkwardly flying off.
"Weird fellow" Georga said to Ember.
"Flame is not weird!" Ember said a bit fierce "He's just a bit shy"
"A bit?!" Georga said mockingly.
"So does this mean that you can't become my mate anymore?" Gaius asked to Ember.
Ember looked appalled at him for making the comment and Georga was now really was mad at her brother. He had made many seductive comments before but this one was too much.
She fired an earth missile towards him that knocked him hard on his back.
"That hurt Georga!" Gaius shouted at her as he jumped back to his feet.
"Keep your mouth shut about those things!" Georga shouted back.
Gaius growled and launched at her.
The twins were now clawing and biting away at each other in a tangled mess of green body, claws and horns.
This wasn't a play fight anymore and it almost looked like they might actually really injure each other if they weren't stopped.
Luckily Igüsa spotted the fighting and quickly stepped in.
She shot a fireball that exploded very close to the twins. Georga and Gaius instantly forgot about each other and trembled in fear looking at the full grown adult dragoness that was towering over them.
"There won't be any fighting here!" Igüsa said very strict and also sounding angry
"Yes Igüsa" Gaius whimpered.
"Good, now make up you two!" Igüsa ordered not letting her voice lose its edge.
Georga looked disgusted at Gaius but another sharp look from Igüsa proved too much for her.
The sibling walked towards each other and nuzzled each other like was expected.
When a dragon nuzzles just after a quarrel it meant that the matter was settled it had been forgiven.
"Good" Igüsa said satisfied as she settled down again.
Georga and Gaius got back to playing with Ember and Oxidus but the two siblings didn't speak to each other anymore for the remainder of the afternoon.
"Come on little ones, time to head home" Igüsa said to them when it was starting to get dark.
"Mwaaa, can't we play some more" Oxidus protested.
"Mom told us to be back before dinner" Igüsa reminded him.
"Okay then" Oxidus sighed as Igüsa took Georga, Gaius and Oxidus along back home.
"Bye Ember" Georga said to her friend as Ember diverted away to head to her own home.
"Bye" Ember replied before walking towards her house that was only one street away.
They reached Oxidus' house in about 10 minutes walking. Then Georga said goodbye to Oxidus and started the journey back home again.
However her brother had other plans in mind.
"Igüsa, would you mind coming along with me?" He asked the young adult dragoness.
"Huh, where?" Igüsa asked and Georga had the same question in her mind.
Gaius looked at Georga before turning back to Igüsa.
"That's a secret" he said smiling.
Georga was about to open her mouth and protest but Igüsa beat her to it "Sure,
Let's go after dinner okay"
"Okay" Gaius had already made his deal before Georga had a chance to do anything about it.
"I'm going home" she snapped not wanting to be involved with Gaius trying to seduce a dragoness who was ten years older than him and also ten times as big.
"Okay, I will see you at home" Gaius said gleeful.
His happy voice was further conformation for Georga and while flying back home her mind filled with curses and with all kinds of dirty images of Gaius and Igüsa.
However Georga instantly also felt a curtain loneliness inside of her as she had never flown home without Gaius by her side.
The thought of Gaius having a date with Igüsa quickly pushed that away and she flew home with anger and disgust in her mind.
Georga walked into the house where she was greeted by Volt.
"Georga? Where's Gaius?" He asked a bit worried. The two were never apart.
"He's having a date with Igüsa" Georga snapped.
"A date with Igüsa" Volt repeated laughing.
"Very funny Georga but where is he?"
"Having a date with Igüsa" Georga said again.
"You mean for real?!" Volt exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes"
"Let's go and eat dinner now okay" Volt said trying to break the topic.
"Okay" Georga couldn't get the thought out of her head of what Gaius was now possibly doing at this moment.
Volt had given her a meal of Taviboah's and hot spiced sheep meat, her favourite.
Georga was eating her dinner slowly and enjoyed it very much.
"Hey where is Gaius' dinner?" Georga asked Volt when the plate was becoming quite empty.
"He doesn't have dinner so eat up" Volt replied smiling.
"Gaius" Georga thought as she diverted her gaze to the ceiling.
After a short while the plate was empty and Georga was feeling full.
She got to her room and played with her toys while waiting for her brother to come back. Volt went to his room as he still had some work to do.
At about seven o'clock Georga heard someone knock on the door.
"Gaius" The thought raced through Georga's mind as lighting and she raced just as fast towards the door.
Volt also appeared and opened the door with his mouth.
Georga spotted Igüsa standing in the opening with Gaius by her side. Her brother seemed to have something in his mouth but Georga couldn't see what it was from so far away.
"I've come to bring him home now" Igüsa sounded a bit annoyed.
Igüsa was always very friendly so that Gaius annoyed her with mating comments was now obvious.
"Thank you Igüsa" Volt said sounding strict and looking angrily down at the little earth dragon.
Georga spotted Gaius cringe in from Volt's harsh look.
"I will take care of it, you go home now" Volt said to her.
"Huh? What's do you mean?" Igüsa asked tilting her head.
"He went on a date with you and tried to seduce you didn't he?" Volt said very harsh as he looked punitively down at Gaius.
Georga was very surprised to hear Igüsa laugh heartily at it.
"I think this is all a big misunderstanding, why don't you let him tell his story before jumping to conclusions" She suggested while she turned and flew off.
"Okay Gaius why don't you come with me and tell me accurately what you have done this evening with Igüsa" Volt said sternly as he walked towards his room with Gaius in tow.
Georga expected to hear shouting and maybe even smacks to come from the room but as the minutes ticked by they refused to come.
After about 15 minutes Gaius and Volt appeared from the curtain. Gaius was not crying and didn't even look sad. Something was strange was going on.
Now Volt shot another punitive glare downwards but instead of Gaius it was now directed towards Georga.
"Don't draw conclusions without knowing the full story Georga!" He scolded at her.
"Huh, what?" Georga stammered totally taken off guard.
"I want the entire living room cleaned by you before bedtime" Volt ordered angrily "Understand!"
"Understand" Georga squeaked as she quickly got to work cleaning up the house.
"Not what you were expecting now is it?" Gaius said as he looked with delight at Georga putting all stuff on the ground back into the shelves and clawing away all the mess in the house.
Volt had given him another sheep and the same number of taviboah as he gave Georga. He kept watching them and prevented Georga from doing anything other than cleaning.
Georga snarled back at her brother but a stern look from Volt made her turn back to her cleaning with her teeth grinding loudly.
For Gaius it was awesome, a very good meal and live entertainment.
Georga cleaned the entire house from top to bottom and Gaius followed her with his dish of food. He was enjoying her punishment very much especially since she tried to get him into trouble.
"So Gaius, what was it that you did together with Igüsa" Georga asked after she finally had finished cleaning.
"Let's go to our room and I will tell you" Gaius smirked.
Georga didn't like him keeping it a mystery but she walked into their room.
She had expected Gaius to follow her and come with some kind of lame story. But when she turned she saw that he hadn't followed her.
She settled down on their bed and waited for him to come.
Gaius appeared from behind the curtain a few seconds later.
He had something large in his mouth that he was carrying very gently. It wasn't easy because it only barely fitted between his jaws and he couldn't put pressure on it.
"What do you have there?" Georga asked.
Gaius couldn't speak but he laid it down in front of her.
It was a doll of a green earth dragoness. The dragoness looked a bit like her but a few years older.
"This is for you" Gaius said now smiling.
"Huh? What? For me?" Georga stammered in disbelief.
"I hope this can settle for our little fight today" he said a bit shy.
Georga picked up the doll with her mouth and put it on their toy shelf. She quickly turned back to Gaius as she was very anxious to hear his story.
"I had to go with someone because Volt doesn't allow it if we go and wander around the city on our own. So I asked Igüsa if she wanted to go with me and buy it" Gaius said to her.
"Gaius" Georga said lovely as she walked up to him.
Georga tenderly nuzzled her brother "Thank you Gaius, its beautiful"
"Sure thing Georga" Gaius said as he rubbed her back. The twins really had an intimidate moment now.
"I'm very sorry that I thought you got to a date with Igüsa" Georga said as she retreaded her snout. "I was just sure that it was what you were doing" She was telling the truth right away. He was her twin brother so trying to lie to him was pointless.
"Could be an interesting idea though" Gaius smirked.
"Don't even think about it!" Georga warned.
Gaius laughed and now settled down on his haunches.
"So, are you ready to admit it already or not?" Gaius asked.
"Huh? Admit what?" Georga asked very surprised tilting her head sideways.
"You and Oxidus, are you two going to do it this time already or wait till next time?" Gaius asked with a smirk on his face that seemed to be of pure enjoyment.
"Gaius!" Georga yelled as she swung her tail globe at him.
This time however Gaius ducked and dodged her attack.
He counterattacked with his horns and knocked her on her back.
"Sorry Georga, not this time" Gaius said while he was standing over her never wiping the smirk off his face.
Georga shove out from underneath Gaius. Gaius didn't pin her down and he just allowed her to escape.
She could strike back at him but since he gave her that doll he was in the clear this time.
Georga picked one of their toys from the shelve and the twins played together for the remainder of the evening.
"Gaius, Georga! It's bedtime" Volt appeared from behind the curtain.
"Okay Volt" The twins replied in unison.
They put their toys away and rested down on the bed they shared.
Georga laid down on her side, her tail was curled backwards so that her brother could lie next to her. She had her wings out and the major part of her body was open.
Her brother joined her and shoves up next to her.
Gaius was lying with his back on her belly. He had one wing under her and the other one over her.
Georga could feel the warm energy of her brother's body. She never had problems sleeping because with him next to her she always fell asleep very quickly.
Georga felt totally at peace now. She quickly dozed off to sleep and shared her sleep with her brother. They had always shared everything: their hatchling bottle, their meals, their first flying lessons, their toys, their friends, truly everything. Georga and Gaius truly shared everything and always did everything together. That was how it was and as far as Georga knew it was how it would always be.
Now a much older earth dragoness started to wake up alone in her room.
"Gaius" Georga thought back to her twin brother as tears started to form in her sapphire eyes.
They had fought so often, she had hit him more times than she could count and they had argued and quarrelled so many times. However she had always thought they were inseparable. Nothing could separate them because they shared everything.
The reassuring feeling of his body laying next to her, the feeling that no matter what she was never alone. No matter what would ever happen Gaius would be there for her to help her. She had always taken it for granted and never really enjoyed it. Now she wanted to have her brother by her side more than ever.
Georga was really feeling alone now. Gaius was gone and Oxidus was quickly slipping away from her. She felt like she had nobody left to support and comfort her.
Georga looked outside and saw the moon shining through her window and giving the room an ominous glow. It was a beautiful night so Georga walked out to try and enjoy it.
However when she had just left her room she looked around the house. She didn't know why she did it but she just did.
Nothing had chanced at all, everything had been like this since she could remember. The couch they had played on was still there and the spot where they always ate also hadn't chanced. The only difference in the house was his absence.
"I'm alone" Georga whispered to herself as she walked through the house and towards the garden.
Georga walked out of the house and watched the stars.
The twinkle of the stars seemed like eyes watching over her but Georga knew that was just an illusion.
"Gaius" Georga said as she started crying more heavily. Her lost twin, Gaius.
"Gaius you sick pervert, I miss you!" She shouted to the night sky.
She missed Gaius so much. Even though they had fought so often she truly loved him. Now that he was gone it seemed she was just a lonely young dragoness who didn't have any family left at all.
Then she noticed Volt's hard snoring in his room on the other end of the house.
Suddenly a very odd and immature desire came welling up in her and she walked into his room. Georga was right now feeling like a hatchling again inside. She didn't care about her true age anymore.
The enormous electric dragon was lying on his back, sleeping and snoring on his large pile of straw. He was lying with his wings folded underneath him and all four limps spread wide. It looked a bit like he was knocked unconscious judging from his position.
Georga was no longer intimidated by his huge size because she knew that deep inside Volt was just a big softie and loved her with all his heart. With him twitching and looking at his exposed belly Georga giggled as she found him look quite funny.
Georga just couldn't resist the urge anymore and wanted to be together with Volt. She wanted warmth and comfort to sleep; she was just a lonely hatchling that wanted love.
She gently jumped on him careful not to wake him up.
She laid down on her guardian's soft belly and tried to burry herself into him as far as possible. She wanted protection from her fears and sadness and she wanted to be with her last remaining family.
It was extremely difficult for her to find herself a comfortable position. She was actually much too old to sleep with him like this but she didn't feel that old now at all.
Inside she was just a desperate little hatchling and she wanted to be with her parent to protect and nurture her. A hatchling like her could burry herself into such a large adult with ease.
She turned around, folded her wings fully in and curled her tail around herself. Now she finally was lying in the pit she had made in his belly.
Volt chuckled as Georga's movements on his belly tickled him. But luckily he remained asleep.
Despite his loud snoring Georga quickly dozed off again. Now sleeping happily knowing that she wasn't alone. Even though Gaius was gone Volt was still here for her. He would protect her from her pain, fear and sadness. Just like a real father.
"Daddy" She mumbled just before falling asleep.
