TLOS legend of the black dragon chapter 18 a nasty suprise
Here is chapter 18. That scene in the begginning I found heartwarming. Just like the scene with Igüsa and Frost. Somehow I just can't seem to get enough of spankings. This is my first time using a cliff-hanger.
The legend of Spyro
Legend of the black dragon
Chapter 18 a nasty surprise
Volt stirred as the early morning light penetrated his closed eyelids.
His eyes were slowly opening when he suddenly felt something move on his soft belly scales.
His eyes shot open from the feeling and he raised his head up to see what was tickling him.
However what he spotted was very unexpected.
"Georga!?" Volt shouted but he closed his jaws quickly enough that no sound escaped his mouth.
His foster daughter was curled up like a hatchling and was sleeping on his belly.
She was purring softly and seemed to be having very nice dreams. With her sleeping so peacefully Volt just let her lay on him and rested his head back down on the straw.
Volt actually didn't mind it that Georga was sleeping on him. Her soft happy purring was giving a great feeling of satisfaction to him. It meant that she truly saw him as her father and not just as her caretaker.
Volt cared for Georga but always did everything he could to not only nurture her but to really raise her as his own child. Therefore moments like these always made him feel proud. It was the happiness and satisfaction that only one who is a parent knows about.
Volt let Georga sleep for about 15 minutes and then he decided it was time to wake up.
He bend his tail around and gently rubbed the head of his sleeping foster daughter.
Georga blinked a couple of times and yawned. This was not her own room so she was feeling a bit dazed.
"Good morning sleepy head" Volt teased.
"Volt!" Georga exclaimed very surprised.
She quickly jumped off of him as she looked like a pathetic hatchling up there.
"Georga, what are you doing in here?" Volt asked as he rolled over and got back on four feet.
"Well, I just, um, I just, couldn't sleep" Georga stammered her cheeks turning red.
"So you wanted to sleep with me is that it?" Volt asked with a warm smile.
"Well, um" Georga looked away a bit embarrassed
"That's fine Georga, you can sleep with me whenever you want" Volt said very kindly. He wanted to show her that he would take care of her in any possible way he could.
"Thank you Volt" Georga said very honest apparently it meant a lot to her.
"Good, now let's say we go and get some breakfast" Volt said now trying to lure away the obviously painful subject from Georga.
"Yay!" Georga chirped with a whelpling like excitement.
The sound was very familiar to Volt but he couldn't place it.
Somehow it made him think of the time when he still had two earth dragons to take care of instead of just one.
"Gaius" Volt also missed his foster son.
He quickly shove the thought away because he had to make breakfast for his one remaining child.
In the meantime in another part of town a very beautiful fire dragoness was also waking up.
She yawned and was feeling a little bit stiff.
She lowered her shoulders and stretched her hind legs.
Her rump rose in the air and her vertebrae popped as she stretched out.
After she was feeling good and awake she checked up on her brothers.
Furno was still sleeping on his pile of straw but the pile of Oxidus was empty.
"Huh? Where could he be?" Igüsa got up and started to look for him in the house.
She didn't spot him but she knew his most likely position.
She walked towards the garden and as expected she found Oxidus there staring at the sky.
It was 6:30 and the morning sun was rising. It had a beautiful red, orange glow to it that indicated it was going to be a nice day.
However despite Oxidus' snout pointing in the direction of the rising sun Igüsa doubted that he was really looking at it.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"Nope" Oxidus replied without turning back to look at her.
His emotionless response still pained Igüsa even though he was already like this for weeks now.
She still remembered the times when she had to restrain him because otherwise she feared he would explode from excitement.
Back then his energy was limitless and his great love for battle was inspiring.
"He was always so joyful and full of energy" Igüsa thought as memories returned.
How he could play with Georga and her brother. How she was always sent to babysit them. How she had to keep an eye out for her brother possibly injuring dragons with his incredible power.
However a tired sigh from Oxidus quickly brought her back to the present and to the depressive and gloomy Oxidus.
"I have a match today, are you going to watch it" Igüsa said having the feeling that she at least had to say something.
Oxidus didn't reply but Igüsa knew there was nothing wrong with his hearing.
"Are you going to come and watch or not?!" Igüsa said a bit more aggressive this time.
"Sure" Oxidus said although it sounded more like he wanted Igüsa to stop asking it rather than he was really going to come and watch her match.
"Okay then" it was the only thing Igüsa could say.
Feeling like it was pointless to say anything more to him Igüsa walked back inside the house to make breakfast.
She put her front claw into a ring in the drawer and pulled it open.
Inside the wooden cabinet was were some fruits who she picked out with her mouth.
She also picked out a large piece of boar that she put on a dish.
Using her fire element she quickly cooked it steaming hot and put the fruits around it.
"Furno, Oxidus! Breakfast!" She shouted.
"Yeah!" Furno jumped up from his bed as soon as he heard the word breakfast.
As if the boar could still get up and run away at any moment Furno sprinted towards it and ripped pieces edaciously.
He was eating so quickly that by the time Oxidus had arrived he was already full.
Igüsa didn't eat yet because she waited for Oxidus. She wanted to eat together with him as she was going for another chance to get him to talk.
Feeling full Furno started to walk back to his small bed and go back to sleep but Igüsa put her tail in front of him to stop him.
"You are going to stay" She said using the stern voice copied from her mother.
"Tired" Furno said.
"Sure? You seemed full of energy" Igüsa said incredulously.
"Tired" Furno said again.
"Then sleep right here" Igüsa said as a joke.
Furno settled down and curled up into a sleeping position on the floor just like Igüsa had ordered him.
"'Sigh' that's not what I meant" Igüsa rolled with her eyes but didn't correct him. She wanted him to stay at the dish until everyone was finished. But she had given him an order and he had obeyed it. That meant he was a good boy and she couldn't punish him. He did what she asked, not what she wanted but what she asked nonetheless. Igüsa just left him sleeping and turned her attention back to Oxidus.
"So Oxidus, having any matches today?" She asked although it was actually an unnecessary question since she checked all his matches yesterday.
"Nope" Oxidus answered just like she had expected.
"Maybe you could go visit Georga, you two used to play so often" Igüsa knew that her tries to break down his façade were going around in circles but she couldn't think of better arguments.
Oxidus didn't respond and acted like he didn't hear it.
"Fine then" She snapped and accidently she did it out loud.
"Iga?" Furno asked he was startled awake by her sudden snap.
Igüsa had woken him up so she felt like he deserved something from her now.
"Sorry Furno, why don't you go and lay down on your bed" She suggested.
"Thank" Furno said as he walked to his bed.
"Well Oxidus what else are you going to do today?" Igüsa turned her attention back to him again, determined not to give up.
Oxidus quickly took a very large bite so that he would not be able to answer her.
Igüsa now as starting to really lose her patience with him but she restrained herself from doing anything.
It was tough and she trembled with frustration but she managed to wait for him to swallow his meat patiently. Oxidus was chewing very slowly and carefully.
"Are you going to do anything today?" Igüsa asked again before Oxidus had a chance to take another bite.
"Watch the tournament" Oxidus said very absent.
"Okay" Igüsa stopped her fruitless tries to get him to talk because it was really starting to get on her nerves. If she didn't stop now she might lose it again and attack him like she had done a few days back.
"I think I should go to my job now" Igüsa said as it was already morning.
"Come on Furno. I will take you to Zerzelie" Igüsa said. She had taken Furno to Zerzelie and Globe to look after him while she was at work.
The day-care was closed so she had to leave Furno with someone to take care of him. She knew Zerzelie very well and with Zerzelie being a real mother, Igüsa had figured that she would know how to take care of a him.
"Okay" Furno replied as he got up from his bed and looked up at his big sister.
Igüsa bent her head down and very gently she picked up Furno in her mouth.
She made sure he was firmly stuck between her teeth. When she carried Furno she stuck him behind her fangs and her jaws. That way he couldn't go forward nor backwards and Furno's own limps prevented him from sliding out. Her teeth were also more than a centimetre away from him so there was no risk that she might accidently bite him.
Igüsa weaved to Oxidus with her wing since she couldn't speak.
Like always she got the silent response.
"Bye Oxus" Furno said for her.
Oxidus didn't give a reply to Furno either. So Igüsa just ignored him and walked out of the house.
She spread her wings and took off towards the house of Zerzelie.
After about 14 minutes Igüsa had reached the house and she landed on the street.
She bend down and put Furno on the ground.
With Furno following her she walked up to the front door and knocked with her talons.
The door opened seconds later and revealed the one dragon in the house that Igüsa didn't want to see.
"Mom! That shrimp is here again!" A muscular young fire dragoness shouted back inside the house when she spotted them.
Igüsa had never liked Flannery's attitude. She had seen her and Georga get into many quarrels together and she couldn't blame Georga for not liking the dragoness.
Flannery was arrogant, rude, insolent and disrespectful. She looked down harshly on Furno but luckily Zerzelie prevented her from bullying him.
Now Zerzelie also appeared with a warm smile on her face.
"Hallo Igüsa" Zerzelie said kindly "Bringing the whelpling again?"
"Yep, I'm sorry you have to look after him every time" Igüsa said as she didn't know what she would have done if Zerzelie hadn't agreed to look after Furno when she was at work.
"Oh, no problem at all. It's fun with him in the house with us"
"Yeah, the best time in the world" Flannery said very sarcastic.
"Hallo Flanny" Furno chirped as he looked up to her, it looked like he didn't hear her sarcastic comment at all.
Flannery growled down at him, if you didn't see it you would think the growl would come from a massive dragon. Even Igüsa sometimes thought Flannery's voice could be scary.
However Zerzelie stomped on the floor close to her daughter. Despite her low voice and strong build Flannery was still less than a quarter of the size of her mother so she backed off.
"Don't worry. We can take care of him" Zerzelie assured Igüsa "But Igüsa, I have a match today and so does Flannery. Do we have your permission to take him with us to the stands?" The fire dragoness asked.
"Sure, just make sure he doesn't make a break for it" She smiled as she looked down on her sometimes naughty little brother.
"He won't get the chance" Zerzelie assured her.
"Okay, Thank you Zerzelie" Igüsa said before turning to take off again.
"No problem Igüsa" Zerzelie said before closing the door.
"Being a mother can be tough" Igüsa thought as she flew towards the high parts of Warfang.
"Mother" Igüsa now released a small tear from her eye as she thought about Fuoca.
Despite that she was already gone for multiple weeks Igüsa could still clearly feel the wound in her heart.
"I still can hardly believe that you are really gone. First father and now you too" Igüsa pondered as she flew towards the house of the ice dragon.
However Igüsa shook her head angrily and threw the tears off "I am their mother now and I can't think about Fuoca anymore" Igüsa deliberately called her Fuoca instead of mother to put a bit more distant between her lost mother.
"I have to remain strong! Oxidus and Furno depend on me"
Igüsa now saw Blizzard's house appearing and she landed gently on the streets.
Now that she had reached the house Igüsa shifted her mind to her job.
"Wonder what that jerk now has planned for me today" Blizzard often gave her the most annoying jobs he could think of. Igüsa wouldn't be surprised if he found it enjoyable to see her working herself out and also it would be very likely that he loved scolding her.
She didn't bother knocking and just opened the door using her tail.
"I'm here!" She shouted as another boring workday began.
"Dad the maid is here again." Frost shouted to his father.
"Ah there she is!" The barking voice of Blizzard came just like Igüsa had heard so often.
"What do I need to do this time?" Igüsa bowed to the ice dragon although she would rather shoot a fireball at him.
"I want the entire kitchen cleaned and all the stuff in the living room stocked. I also want the garden cut and all the paper work sorted out" Blizzard ordered gruffly.
"Of course" Igüsa said although she couldn't completely hide her resentment. Blizzard always talked to her like that but Igüsa wouldn't let that break her pride.
"I also still have a chore for you" Frost said in the same gruff tone as his father.
"I want you to sort out my room. Make sure you do that first you got that!" Frost snapped to her.
"Frost?" Igüsa was very surprised Frost acted to her like that. He was acting like his father now instead of his usual generous self.
"Of course master Frost" She said as an obedient servant. She had to because Blizzard was still standing in the room.
"Good, now you start with his room first and then you do the rest of the house" Blizzard took over the commanding from his son.
"When I return I want at least the kitchen and the living room spick and span" He said looking very stern at her in an effort to intimate her.
"Don't say anything!" Igüsa clenched her jaws and grinded her teeth.
"Understood?" Blizzard barked.
"Understood" Igüsa replied with a great difficulty to control her temper.
Blizzard walked out of the room with his chest prompted forwards in a bragging way.
The small Frost followed him but he stopped when he passed Igüsa.
"Go to my room first okay?" He whispered to her.
"I'll be back at three o'clock maid" Blizzard said while weaving for Frost to get over to him.
"You better hurry up maid if you don't want to get into major trouble" Frost said very gruffly before running up to join his father.
"Frost?" Igüsa couldn't believe Frost was acting so patronizing and distant to her. It was just so unlike him.
After Frost and his father had left to watch the tournament Igüsa walked up the stairs and got to Frost's room.
Frost had ordered her to start there and seeing no reason why not to Igüsa also did.
However when she walked through the black silk curtain of Frost's room she was very surprised by what she saw.
The room was perfectly clean. There was not even a single twiddle dust anywhere. It looked like Frost had cleaned his entire room this same morning.
"Why did he order me to go and clean it?" Igüsa thought. She carefully checked the room to see there was anything for her to do but she spotted absolutely nothing. If there was nothing to clean here then why had Frost order her to clean it?
Suddenly she spotted something standing on Frost's bed.
It was a large wooden box that Frost had covered using the sheet from his bed.
It was the only thing that wasn't where it was supposed to be so Igüsa decided to check it out.
When she was about to pick up the box she that there was a note on it.
She bent down and carefully read it as nothing seemed to make sense now.
'Dear Igüsa.
Sorry about the attitude I put up to you today but I had no choice. Dad gave me a sound scolding yesterday, most likely because of the way I acted with Georga. He ordered me never to call you anything else other than maid ever again and to treat you as what you really are. He gave me an offer I couldn't refuse so I'm afraid he will be getting his way.
Enjoy this gift before cleaning up the house because my father has a lot of things he wants you to do. I didn't know what you liked so I hope I picked the right thing.
I will return home before my father will so if you're angry at me feel free to give me a hard spanking, I deserve it.
Success with your match today.
Frost
PS: destroy this note after you have read it so that my father will never find it.'
"Frost" Igüsa smiled very warmly. His father was a jerk and she hated that she was a maid to him. But the kindness of Frost made everything still bearable.
"How could he be the son of his father?" The question had appeared to Igüsa countless times. Blizzard always called her 'maid' and did nothing else than scold and bark at her. He clearly saw her as below him, sometimes Igüsa even wondered if he considered her a real dragoness.
Frost on the other hand treated her like a lady and a dear friend. He often tried to advocate for her and get her a day off. He was also the one who gave her extra money for a job well done, he did this from his own spending money and behind the back of his father. He often had to look out for his father though. That he treated Igüsa like that is something his father certainly did not approve.
Also unlike his father Frost called her by her name although now he couldn't do it anymore. This meant that Frost really saw her as a dragoness and not just as a maid.
Igüsa now gently pulled the sheet from the box with her claws. She was looking forward to Frost's gift for her.
Inside the wooden box were 5 Taviboah's. They looked big, fresh and juicy; Frost had only picked the best ones for her.
"Thank you Frost" Igüsa said to the box while she started eating slowly, enjoying his gift to the fullest.
Igüsa and her family were very poor and they couldn't afford things like Taviboah's. The fruits were the favourite dragon snack but they were not cheap. They weren't that expensive either but they were too expensive for Igüsa's family.
The fruits tasted sweet and juicy. The pulp almost seemed to melt away in her mouth and she had to resist the urge to gorge it all down in one go.
After devouring the five delicious fruits Igüsa put the sheet back over the box and burned the note with her fire breath.
"Thank you Frost" Igüsa said to herself once more.
"Well it's time to go to work" Igüsa now walked back down and started on cleaning the kitchen. Igüsa was grinning, from happiness but also from something more sinister.
In the citadel the little Furno was walking next to his caretaker Zerzelie.
The citadel was very crowded so he stayed close to the adult dragoness.
"Try to keep up shrimp. You might learn something" Flannery snorted from his left.
"I will" Furno replied. He would observe her closely and learn everything she did.
"Furno, I would like you to climb on my back. I don't want to lose you in all the turmoil" Zerzie said.
Furno didn't really get the second part but he did get the kind dragoness wanted him to get on her back.
"How?" Furno asked as the dragoness seemed way too large for him.
"Just climb up my tail" the fire dragoness lowered her tail to the ground.
Furno walked around her and jumped on her tail blade.
He tried to climb up further but without any back spikes to grab on to he kept sliding down again and the tightly fitting dragon scales.
"Here, let me help you" Zerzie said kindly as she could feel his fruitless efforts.
Suddenly Furno clamped on the tail as he felt it moving.
He was lifted slowly up and over the dragoness until he was hovering above her back by about 15 centimetres.
"You can let go now" He heard Zerzie saying.
The little fire dragon let go of the tail and landed with his butt on the red dragoness' back.
"Are you good up there?" Zerzie asked.
"Good" Furno said as he suspected it was the answer she wanted.
He felt now Zerzie walk underneath him and settled down on her back. She then said something about watching but he didn't really get it. However as long as she was here it didn't really matter.
He closely watched Flanny and took account of all of her moves. She had ordered him to watch her and learn so that's what he did.
He found Flanny look very thick. He knew Flanny was like Iga and not like Oxus but she looked more like Oxus to him.
Her voice seemed like the green male that was walking next to him but her colour seemed more like the dragon he was riding on.
"Flanny is weird" Furno thought out loud.
"Grrr" the young fire dragoness growled up at the little fire dragon.
"Flannery!" Zerzie warned.
The young fire dragoness snorted in frustration before turning her head away and not looking at him anymore.
"Furno, you can't say that to people!" Zerzie said now turning her attention to him.
"Okay" Furno said. He couldn't say to Flanny that she was weird.
"I am going to the young stands right now" Flanny said and she quickly was away.
"Why Flanny away from me?" Furno asked Zerzie why the thick dragoness didn't want to be with him. Maybe it had something to do that he called her weird when apparently that wasn't allowed.
"Don't let it bother you Furno" Zerzie said "She is just going to where she needs to be"
"Okay" Furno said. It was not because of him.
He walked around in circles on her back and suddenly he noticed that Zerzie had walked into the stadium. It was the same place as where Igüsa had taken him yesterday to watch Oxidus' battle.
"Oxus battle?" He asked.
"No, he doesn't" Zerzie answered.
Furno could now feel Zerzie lay down and he jumped off of her.
"You stay here Furno" Zerzie said and she sounded stern.
"I stay" he repeated.
"Good" Zerzie said as she turned her head away to watch the match unfold.
Furno was very small and he couldn't see over the heads of the other dragons.
Zerzie had ordered him to stay so that's what he did.
After multiple battles had passed Furno was starting to get bored and he looked around the stadium to see if there was anything interesting to do.
The large crowd mostly blocked his view but he could spot a large bright yellow box that stood out from the stadium.
In the squire he saw a couple of dragons.
"Geora!" Furno chirped.
Georga played with Furno in the day-care so Furno wanted to go and ask if she would want to play now.
He ran through all the dragons, cheetah and moles that were watching the tournament. However since he was very small no one paid it much attention.
Suddenly his eye fell down on something that he found even more interesting.
"Big bro" Furno spotted Oxidus sitting near the honour box just in front of the yellow walls.
He changed his course and now he was quickly running to join his brother.
The stadium was huge for a dragon of that age so by the time Furno had reached the young dragon stands he was gasping but he was nowhere out of energy yet.
Oxidus was watching the matches of the Igus cup. Since there were no lessons to give he didn't have anything better to do.
"Big bro!" Oxidus suddenly heard from a couple of stands above him.
"Furno?" Oxidus said very surprised.
"What are you doing here?!" Flannery asked and not in a very nice tone.
Oxidus glared at her for talking to his brother like that and Flannery glared back.
Oxidus quickly deduced that this staring contest pointless and he just looked away and turned to his little brother.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Zerzelie?"
"Boring I want to be with Oxus" Furno replied.
Oxidus was a bit unsure about what to do with Furno so he took some time before giving a reply.
"Okay then, but keep still" He ordered as he didn't want any trouble.
"Okay" Furno replied.
Oxidus turned his attention back to the battle he didn't really watch it as most of his attention was directed to Furno who was laying next to him.
Oxidus didn't really want to admit it but he found it feel quite nice to have his little brother laying next to him.
After a while Flannery rose up from her position "I'm up soon" she declared.
"Better pay attention shrimp" She said as she started walking towards the exit.
Suddenly she stopped because she had something to add to that "And you better watch out as well Oxidus"
Oxidus didn't reply like he didn't hear her. Flannery didn't think much of it as Oxidus often gave everyone the silent treatment these days.
"Bye Flanny" Furno said.
Flannery hated it when the little dragon called her Flanny but by now she knew that snarling at him wasn't going to get her anywhere.
Suddenly a thought arose to her and she walked into the crowd. She now knew a way to punish that little shrimp.
Just above them Frost was watching the matches unfold.
Just like yesterday he was watching together with Georga but he kept more distance from her because of his scolding yesterday.
He had this honour seat of payment for his efforts at spreading the news but it didn't turn out to be much fun.
Because he had a spot in the honour not only could he watch the matches from there but he also had to. His father would make sure that he would never be anywhere in the stadium except in the honour box.
Most of his friends were in the young dragon stands below him and he couldn't shout to them in public.
Luckily Georga was also in the honour box in addition to Spyro and Cynder.
It still looked a bit weird seeing three dragonflies floating around Spyro instead of just one but he was starting to get used to it.
He left his father's side now and walked a bit closer to Georga.
He looked back and saw his father hadn't spotted him yet.
Georga was laying on her belly with her wings folded in. Because the honour box was elevated above the rest of the stands she could lay down while still being able to watch the matches.
He laid down next to Georga and waited a few seconds for his father to forbid it.
The correction didn't come so he just turned to his green friend.
"So, how are things going with him?" He asked her.
"Huh? With who?"
"You know," he used his wing to point down at the young dragon underneath them "Oxidus".
"Same as always" Georga sighed.
"Hey look there, who is that" Frost asked Georga as he spotted a red female dragon walk into the young dragon stands.
"That's Zerzelie, she is a friend of Igüsa, but what is she doing in the young dragons stand?" Georga said also interested.
The blue and green dragons looked very interested at what was going to happen underneath them.
"Furno!" They heard her yell and she clearly was not happy.
"Hey look there" Frost spotted the little fire dragon he met a few days back cringing in front of the fire dragoness.
Georga rolled with her eyes "Furno. He can be quite a handful; to me, to Igüsa and by the looks of it also to Zerzelie"
"I told you to stay with me!" Zerzelie said sternly.
"Sorry" Furno squeaked his voice shooting upwards.
"Can you please do this someplace else" A young dragoness complained "Some of us are trying to watch a match here"
Zerzelie picked up Furno in her mouth and walked back to the adult stands. Furno looked very submissive because he knew that he was naughty.
"What do you think that was about?" Frost asked Georga.
"Well I can't be sure but what I guess is that Zerzelie ordered Furno to stay and he made a break for it" Georga concluded.
"He is really doesn't listen very well does he" Spyro now also joined the conversation.
"Well he does much better than you did at that age" The pink dragonfly that was Spyro's mother said.
Spyro lowered his head in embarrassment a little and sighed "Mom!" He grumbled a bit angry a bit embarrassed
"She has a point there, I can't count anymore how many times you sneaked out because you to gorge yourself. " Sparx added to that.
"Hey, you were the one who constantly went into forbidden places and I was then forced to pull you out again" Spyro said back.
Frost didn't believe listening to Spyro and Sparx arguing would a whole lot of fun. He had seen enough of the tournament anyway so he was looking for a way he could leave.
Suddenly he remembered something that might do.
"Dad, I still have some homework to do, can I go now?" He asked.
"Sure, but you stay away from the maid you got that!" He said sternly.
"I will, I will stay away from her and I have a few more chores for that filthy lizard" Frost sneered.
"Fine" His father suddenly sounded more cheerful after Frost had spit about Igüsa.
Frost walked out of but suddenly Cynder jumped up in front of him. She had a very angry and almost murderous look in her eyes.
"How dare you talk about Igüsa like that!" She shouted at him.
"Shhh, calm down Cynder, I can explain" Frost said, he did his best not to loose his cool but the furious black dragoness looked very scary.
"You don't talk to you superiors like that you black snake!" His father yelled now also getting involved.
"I need to do something" Frost thought as he quickly shifted his view back and forth and realised that the situation right now was a bit dangerous.
"Cynder please follow me and I will tell you okay" He whispered to her before taking a step back "You won't tell me what I can and can't do you hear me!" He barked as he walked out of the honour box with a very arrogant stance.
As he expected Cynder followed him and he quickly searched for a room where they could talk.
He spotted a curtain that seemed a bit dusty so he concluded the room would be empty.
It turned out to be one of the unused training rooms. It was about 9 by 10 metres. It had white walls and a few large windows. However the only thing that mattered was that it was empty and they could talk in private here.
"So Frost why do you talk about Igüsa like that?" Cynder asked not letting her sharp tongue loose its edge.
Frost turned to face her and then he also spotted that Spyro and Georga had followed him. It wasn't very surprising though that they wanted to know what was going on as well.
"Well you see guys," He started hoping he would bring it the best way "Dad and I had a harsh talk yesterday evening and he forced me to quit all kindness to Igüsa. When I am referring to her I must call her either maid or lizard and I must not speak to her except when giving orders" He got straight to the point and hoped his friends would understand.
He had thought that sugar-coating it wouldn't be the right decision when explaining something to his friends.
"Oh, I get it now" It felt like a relief to Frost that Georga was the first to speak. Georga knew him well and she would understand the best, Cynder would be harder to convince. Not only had she something against his riches but she also really looked up to Igüsa.
"So did you talk like that at home with her as well?" Cynder asked still having a relatively sharp accent.
"Well yes but I wrote her an apology and gave her a gift as well" Frost said hoping Cynder would be satisfied by it.
"Alright then, then it's fine" Cynder said indicating for Frost that she understood the situation.
"So where did you want to go anyway" Cynder then asked.
"Oh, I wanted to go back home. I just thought that maybe I could help her" Frost said.
"Is this normal for dragons?" The blue dragonfly whispered to Sparx.
"Yes, just like every single abnormal thing is normal in this absurd city" Sparx said to his dad.
After telling his friends the full story Frost got out of the stadium and flew back home.
Since he lived in the high parts of Warfang he reached his house very quickly.
He knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it as was polite. However it felt a bit strange for Frost to knock on his own door.
As he expected Igüsa opened the door but he was struck by the look she had in her eyes.
Igüsa was looking down very angry at him, the only thing he could compare it to was the look his father had during his scolding yesterday.
"What do you want?!" she snapped.
"Igüsa, you read that note didn't you?" Frost asked fearing that she didn't and was now very angry at him.
"What note?! You really think I would go and clean up your mess you spoiled brat!" She snapped. For Frost were her words weren't necessary, the tone of her voice had already answered his question.
"It's already bad enough that I have to listen to your father's barking but I really believed that you were different Frost" Igüsa said having a truly hurt voice.
"But now I see that you're no different" she spat.
"But in my room-" Frost started.
"I don't care what's in your room" Igüsa cut him off.
"But-"
"But nothing, come here you!" She shouted as she reached out to him.
She scooped up Frost with her large paw and dragged him into the house.
Igüsa then quickly closed the door behind her with her tail and walked up towards Frost was laying a few metres away from her.
"I had to bark at you because-"
"I said come here!" Igüsa snapped and she coiled her tail around the small ice dragon.
Frost was now stuck in her tail and he couldn't pull himself loose. He was very confused by Igüsa's behaviour. He knew that Igüsa had a very short temper but even when she was angry she never acted like this, something about this all was off.
Igüsa bend around and lifted the small ice dragon up by about one metre.
"Here is my order" Igüsa said with a voice that was so cold that it even sent shivers through the ice dragon Frost.
Frost didn't know what to do now. Igüsa was not all that powerful but to really fight against her? He just didn't know.
"Au!" Frost cried as suddenly he felt Igüsa's strong paw against his backside.
Igüsa smacked him again and again. She had her tail coiled around him to bind him and lift him off the ground. She was half bend inwards so that she could reach his backside and she was spanking him with her right front paw.
Her paw was large enough to cover his entire back side and smacks reverberated through Frost's body.
Frost was getting a spanking right now by his maid. This was a very odd scene to say the least.
Frost had never been spanked before and that it was the always sweet Igüsa made the situation only even more confusing.
After ten smacks Igüsa stopped.
Frost had started crying a little even though the smacks were not very hard. It was that Igüsa was giving them that made him cry.
Suddenly Igüsa started laughing heartily what caused Frost to loose the last bit of understanding he had of what was going on.
She relaxed her tail muscles that bonded Frost what caused him to smack down on the ground. Because he was only a metre in the air he didn't feel anything.
"So now you've gotten the spanking you said you deserved" She said doing her best to speak through her laughing.
"Huh?" Frost was not able to take in the situation.
"You said I was free to give you a spanking when you returned home didn't you?" Igüsa said still chuckling.
Suddenly it occurred to Frost what was going on. He had remembered putting in a joke in his note that he deserved a spanking for his behaviour. He had meant it as a sigh to show her that he was sorry about what he did. He didn't expect Igüsa to take it serious.
"I didn't mean it literally Igüsa!" Frost shouted rubbing his sore backside with his wing.
"So you did read my message after all!" Frost shouted as he was still mad at her for spanking him. Especially now that it seemed she understood the situation from the start.
"Of course I read it" Igüsa said while still smiling from her joke on him.
"You're going to be in deep trouble if I tell my dad about this" Frost threatened.
"You wouldn't want to loose someone like me now would you?" Igüsa said sounding a very cocky. She was grinning as she knew that she was totally in control of the situation right now.
"I, um" Frost couldn't muster it to say that he could get her fired.
"Thought so" Igüsa concluded.
Frost snarled at her but she didn't think anything of it.
"I guess you came to give me some help, didn't you?" She suggested.
"Well not anymore Igüsa" Frost snapped.
"Not?" Igüsa tilted her head very clueless "How come?"
"If you are going to spank me when I arrive home then you can do the chores yourself!" Frost shouted at her. He tried to appear angry but it didn't sound very convincing. They were both in a way too good mood now to be angry.
"Hmmm" Igüsa muttered as she was thinking. "Wait I know it!" Apparently she had a idea.
"What is it?" Frost was very curious about what Igüsa could have in mind next.
"Let's say you give me a spanking as well and we'll call it even" She said still in a laughing mood.
"Good idea" Frost smirked as the idea of revenge felt very nice.
Igüsa lowered herself down to the floor and moved her tail out of the way to allow Frost to reach her tailbase more easily.
Frost jumped on her back and walked towards her hindquarters.
When he had reached them he turned around and teasingly rubbed his tailblade on his target.
"I'll teach you now how a proper maid needs to behave" he said ominously as he tried to copy his father's voice. He could still feel his throbbing and sore behind very well and with the tables now turned he prepared himself for some fun.
"Please no master" Igüsa whimpered doing her best to sound helpless.
"Oh yes servant" Frost said evilly.
Frost swung his tail around in a circle and smacked it against the tailbase of Igüsa. He then raised it, swung it in the air and smacked it against her again, and then again.
He didn't hit Igüsa hard enough to cause her real pain but he wanted made sure that she would regret ever coming up with the idea of giving him a chance for revenge.
His spanking took longer than Igüsa's because he had to swing his tail around in the air every time to build up speed. Giving someone a spanking who is more than four times your size isn't easy.
However he finished all his ten blows and then jumped off of her. Now feeling satisfied that they were even.
Igüsa got up from the ground and didn't look happy at all. This made Frost on the other hand only even more cheerful.
"Couldn't you have been a bit gentler?" Igüsa complained as she rubbed her backside with her wing now "It was only a joke"
"Hey yours was harder, just look" Frost turned around and showed Igüsa the red spot on his tailbase.
"It only looks like more because you're blue and I'm red" Igüsa shot back.
"Well we're even now so want to help me with the kitchen" Igüsa said ending the subject.
"Sure" Frost chirped as he didn't feel this happy in weeks.
Igüsa could always make him laugh. Not just smile but truly laugh. They had already played a couple of times before and those were the best times Frost ever had.
Igüsa was much more than just a maid for Frost. He saw Igüsa as part of the family, therefore he also felt a curtain connection to Furno and Oxidus because they were Igüsa's family.
However his father had never seen her as family. For him she was just a maid and he had heard his father talking about her like an object instead of a person.
Frost saw her as who she really was. A kind dragoness who was most generous, and most enjoyable too.
He assisted her with her chores so that she could leave soon as she had a match this afternoon.
He had done this many times before as Igüsa was always kind to him.
She also could be a whole lot of fun to play with like just now. His father always wanted him to stay formal so he could rarely just wind down and have some fun.
Only Igüsa could do something like this. Only with her could he have felt so well as he did now.
"Hey Igüsa" Frost said he was scrubbing off some fat with his claws.
"Yes?"
"I sure like having you around" He said kindly.
"Thank you Frost" Igüsa replied warmly.
Knowing there was a lot still to do Frost returned to cleaning together with Igüsa.
After about an hour of cleaning Frost turned to Igüsa.
"Sorry but I really do have some homework to do and my dad will get suspicious if I haven't finished it."
"That's fine Frost, I can take care of the rest myself now" Igüsa said as she turned to face him "Thank you for the Taviboah's and for your help Frost, I really appreciate it" She said very grateful.
Frost smiled at Igüsa, he had volunteered to help her and she thanked him for every single thing. That was typically Igüsa. She never expected payment and although he had helped her very often already she was still just as grateful for it every single time.
He got up to his room and started to study up the books on ice moves like his father wanted. He had to master the ice mist technique before his father got home. Otherwise he would be in deep trouble.
Blizzard was arriving back home after having enough of watching the tournament with lesser dragons.
He still couldn't believe that they let the likes of Georga and her muscle headed guardian into the honour box.
"I I'm not fund of their attitude but with Spyro and that black snake I can understand . However the likes of that green lizard?" He was often shocked when he saw his son hanging out with her.
He didn't know if it was faith or not that the insolent and problematic maid of his was the sister of Georga's mate.
"Nah, just a coincidence" He thought as he landed at his house.
"If she doesn't stay away from my son she is going out of here for sure" Blizzard thought as he had reached the house. "That dirty dragoness had caused me more than enough problems with my son already. I hired her to do chores inside the house for a reasonable price. However Frost as most certainly taken an overwhelming liking of her. It sometimes seemed like he sees her as part of our family!" he found it a very alarming thought.
He opened the door and walked into the house.
"Frost, I'm home!" He shouted waiting for his disobedient son to appear.
"Dad!" He heard from above but I could clearly hear the fear in the voice.
"Have you mastered the move yet?!" He said threatening as the frightened tone indicated otherwise to him.
"Well, um dad, you see" Frost stammered as he walked down the stairs.
"What have you done this afternoon if you weren't studying?!" He asked sharp.
"He did his best" The red maid intervened.
"Quiet you!" He shouted at her.
He spotted the disobedient maid clench her teeth in rebellion instead of lowering her head in submission like she should.
"Get out of here and start cleaning!" He scolded as it seemed she needed an additional hint before she got the point.
He suddenly heard a suppressed growl from her as she turned away to do as he ordered.
"Hey Igüsa is right you know, I did everything I could!" Frost protested.
"Igüsa?" Blizzard asked as he wasn't allowed to say it.
"Igüsa!" The maid suddenly was back and now seemed to have really lost her temper.
"Maid! I ordered you to go and work on the garden" Blizzard said to the filthy lizard.
However the dragoness looked like she wasn't going anywhere. She finally couldn't contain herself anymore. Igüsa had totally lost her temper and she was filled with rage. The dragoness looked very dangerous.
