Laying the Dragon story

Diamond walked down the cobbled road towards another town on her itinerary. She was a dragon hunter by nature, and everything about her suggested it.

She was a zebra type creature, standing six feet in total, and covered in white and purple stripes from nose to tail.She was exceptionally good looking, always a must when facing dragons, with overly large rounded breasts.She was slim but muscular, for she had done what she was doing for many years, and it had burst through.

She was a semi transparent garment to cover her lower private areas, the light purple of the material clashing nicely with the stripes. A long thin sword, much like a rapier was strapped diagonally across her back, it's handle inset with precious stones. A bracelet, the only visible piece of jewellery she owned, glowed faintly with magical aura, and not many knew what it's purpose was, or it's capabilities.She also carried a small brown bag, well used, but had anyone cast detect magic on it, they would have found out it was also decently magical.

She was heading to a certain village for two reasons. Firstly, because of the excellent drink that was rumoured to be made there, and second, because there were also rumours of a dragon that attacked the caravans that passed through this area.It was, admittedly, ideal dragon territory, the hills provided excellent caves for lairs.

This theory was proved as she came over a rise. As she came over the ridge, she had to duck suddenly as a large low object flashed overhead.She grabbed her rapier, but the dragon was already half way to the hills, which were a good two hour hike from where she was. Diamond also noticed the colours were red and black, but she also saw gold.

"Well, those rumours were true." she commented idly, and then turned around, her wonderful voice floating on the air.

She was looking at the village. Nearly all the buildings were made of stone, but never the less there was a lot of smoke emanating from within the stone walls.She ran carefully along the cobbled road until she came to the main entrance. The gates were made out of solid iron, but these had been cast asunder as though struck with a giant's hammer. She stepped gingerly over the wreckage,and looked down the main street.

The buildings were all standing, but walls, stone and road were all covered in black streaks, some going for many metres in direction, some curving back and forth. Diamond ran a finger across one particular patch, and felt the warmth.It was soot.Several of the streaks looked purposeful, and Diamond followed one down the street.

"From here, to here.He was frightening them indoors."She spoke aloud in the absence of anything else.

She walked around an upturned stall, dodged some falling rubble from something that had been a wall, and stopped outside a tavern.The sign was hanging from one solitary chain.

"Hello!" she called, her voice piercing the uncomfortable silence.

The final chain separated, and the sign fell to the ground. The window of the tavern, covered with wooden shutters, opened.

"Get inside!" a creature hissed.It was cat like, and stood also on it's hind legs.It looked warily around the premises."Don't you know there's a dragon around?"

"I saw it flying back towards the hills."Diamond replied.The cat creature's shoulders relaxed considerably.

"Welcome stranger.I apologise for my manner, but you might have guessed why.I am Alduin."

He proffered a hand, and Diamond shook it.

"I am Diamond, and I am a dragon huntress."The cat man's ear's perked up and he looked amazed.

"Rather you than me." he said, taking in the frame and the sword.

"Do you want to know about Drakon?"

"That would help certainly."Diamond replied.

"He is a raiding dragon, only comes out when he is hungry or when he is collecting treasure.We guess he's about fifteen feet in length, and he's the best air combat dragon any of us have ever seen.He can flame around corners, and vary the intensity of the blast from a narrow white flame to a wide orange burst."

The two walked down the street.

"Where's the lair?" Diamond asked.Alduin spoke.

"It is back the way you, came about three hours walk from the village.A group of six men once went there. One came back."

"What did he say?"

"They had snuck in the cave, trying to walk quietly.But he had heard them, and he came around via secret tunnel, for his lair is a labyrinth of tunnels. They barely had time to find the treasure chamber where he sleeps, but they describe it as immensely rich.They had tried to fight the dragon, but he merely knocked them out with great sweeps of his paws. When the sixth pulled a sword out, the dragon melted it, and spoke to him.

"I admire courage, but you cannot defeat me.Go and warn anyone who tries to attack me or steal my treasure."

"Then he clawed the last one's back as a reminder, and let him go.The five were never seen again, and the sixth managed to stumble home. He was placed in the infirmary."

"Who was the sixth?"

"I was."

Alduin made it quite clear in his tone that he did not want this conversation to continue in the direction it was going.Diamond made a glimpse at the back of the cat man.One solitary ugly scar ran directly across Alduin's back. Diamond burned with anger, and gave an ugly look at the hills.

Then they came to another part of the street that was strange.The road seemed to gleam with an unnaturalness, and there was molten metal still cooling across the road.A horse creature came out from a side alley.

"One of the guard tried to shoot at Drakon as he went past."

"Is he alive?" Alduin asked.

"In the infirmary."

Diamond ran her hand across the anomalous road.The strength of the blast had fused the stone together, almost like glass.

"He was carrying gold?" she asked Alduin.

"Yes, we have a store room full of tribute, guarded by two men.When the dragon shows up, we give him some of the tribute, and then hide."Last time he found out we had no money, he attacked the town, and don't bleeding ask me what happened them. All I'm saying is that my tavern upstairs is wrecked."

"Why don't you fix it?"

Alduin looked amused.

"There's no money left.He gives us enough for moderate comfort, but the rest he keeps."

"Why don't you stop him?"

Diamond demanded.

Alduin looked even more amused at the zebra's stunned face.

"I was lesson number one, that guard was lesson number two.He could take the entire town on and win."

"I'll stop him myself."

Diamond declared, making her mind up.Alduin gaped.

"You're...O.K., how?"he bit down on what he wanted to say.

"I have spent my life killing or stopping dragons, and will do the same to Drakon."

Alduin thought.

"Fine.I will take you to his lair myself, for no one else would dare go within a mile off the track in that direction.But I am not going inside the lair."

Diamond smiled.

"Good."

The two kitted up. Diamond was already, technically, kitted up, and all Alduin needed was his long sword and a large ruck sack.

"I am going to repay everyone with treasure for the suffering we have had." he said.

Diamond spoke

"Do you actually think I can beat him?"

Alduin looked determined."If you're at all as good as you say you are, then I think you will."

Diamond nodded. "You're the first."

They left the town, the streets were still empty.

"We don't come out fast after a raid." Alduin commented.

They walked down the road at a moderate pace, Diamond asking questions about the terrain, Drakon's power and so on. Diamond like power, and by the sounds of things this dragon was one of the most powerful she had ever encountered.

The terrain was mostly grassland following the narrow track towards the lair, but there was a bunch of rocky outcrops dotted across the land scape.It was getting on for evening when the two arrived at their destination. A cave, ten metres in width at the mouth and about the same in height.

Alduin pointed out directions.

"About a hundred metres down the main corridor is the treasure chamber." he whispered.

Diamond pressed her ear to the solid rock.

"He's not in."

"You're kidding."

"Well, either that or he's asleep."

"Good luck." Alduin whispered.

Diamond nodded, and entered the jaws of the cave. She walked on the toes of her feet, and very gently. She walked as though air, soft and reassuring.It wasn't fast though, and it took her five minutes to traverse the hundred metres from the mouth to the portal to the treasure chamber.Her rapier was out in her hand, for it really wasn't a good idea to confront a dragon in his own cave. She counted to ten silently, and then sneaked a peek around the corner of the door into the chamber.

All her previous records were shattered. Drakon was a good six to seven metres in length, and his body was covered in a nicely clashing red and black pattern.His wings were huge and rippled, and his tail was long and whip like. At the end of the tail was a sword point.Alduin had told her he had put that straight through a wall.His legs were also strong and thick.

Then she spotted the treasure. This broke another record, for the amount was huge.It was a mixture of gems, gold and weaponry,which would be magical otherwise he wouldn't have been hoarding them. It lay on it's back contentedly, it's wings against the wall, dreaming no doubt of the morning's ventures.His hand were on his chest in exhaustion.Above him was a steel carved dragon's head, where steel manacles sprung out of the mouth.

Diamond advance, sword drawn.But she was assailed by doubt.There was no doubt that it was easily to kill a sleeping dragon, but was it fair to kill such an incredible example of a dragon by slitting it's throat.Diamond was feeling that this would be , somehow, cruel. Then she saw the manacles, and had an idea.Easier said than done.

To get this close to a dragon full stop is, at the best of times, daft. Diamond very quietly sidled towards the slumbering reptile, stepping lightly onto the gold.He had so much more than Diamond had ever seen any dragon hoard before, but she was more interested in not causing a gold avalanche that would wake the dragon.Finally she was right beside the dragon, a blades width from more money than she could ever carry. Drakon breathed in and out slowly.

She tenderly grasped the scaly right arm off the dragon's chest. Drakon shuffled in sleep, and Diamond froze in fear.Then she ever so gently lifted it until the wrist was level with the loose manacles.One of her slick, perspiring hands fumbled with the cuffs, but she snapped it shut around the dragon's wrist, wincing at the click.Then she did the other arms, so that five minutes later, the dragon was unable to use it's arms when it woke up. Diamond turned and carefully stepped off the gold pile.

Then she paid attention to the treasure. She started scooping gems and gold into her bag. It would have seemed to an observer that the bag managed to hold more gems then would have suggested by it's size.Then she walked quickly out of the cave.

Alduin was still there, but he jumped up in a frenzy when Diamond exited the cave. He sighed in relief at her sight.

"What happened?"

"I've chained it up."

"Why didn't you kill it?"

"I said kill or stop.But I've got some of the treasure.Open your pack."

Alduin did, and Diamond poured the contents of her bag into his, filling the pack a good two thirds of the way. Alduin looked at the small bag again.

"That's a bag of carrying, isn't it."

"Yeap, it carries more than it's size suggests.I'm going back for more."

Alduin looked up to the sky in wonderment.

"In-bloody-credible."

Diamond walked carefully back down the passage.This time she started filling her bag with gold.It was only when she had finished that she realised that something was wrong. The dragon was coming around.She stood up, and tried to tip toe to the door. Then the voice of Drakon was heard.

"Whz...What the...?"his eyes opened, instantly alert for danger.He quickly took in the situation.There was a zebra by the the door, carrying a bag filled with what looked like money.His bed looked slightly smaller than it had before he went to sleep, and he realised in surprise that his hands were manacled together.He had used them for prisoners, and now he himself was imprisoned.But he could still try and stop Diamond getting away.

"THIEF!" his roar echoed throughout the maze of corridors, and rocks and dust fell from the ceiling.Then he jerked his head back, and let go with a burst of flame.The core of the flame was a bright dark blue, and it enveloped Diamond. Then Drakon looked in horror as Diamond stepped from out of it, unscathed.Diamond reckoned it was the most powerful blast she had faced, but still she was untouched. Her bracelet of fire protection was stronger.Alduin sprung to his feet when he heard the roar of THIEF!, and retreated away from the cave mouth when the flame, now orange through distance, licked across the turf, singeing the grass.He raised his voice and shouted.

"Bugger this.If you're still alive, then I'm not here!", he turned and sprinted away.

Inside, Diamond smiled at the cat man's fear, and turned to the snarling dragon.Drakon roared.

"Who led you here?" the voice reverberated.

"You heard him."Diamond smiled."Alduin warned me several times against coming, but he reluctantly showed me the way."

"Warned you?"

"Yes."

She watched as the dragon heaved against the chains several times unsuccessfully.Drakon looked evilly at her.

"You stole my treasure."

"Only a bag of gems. Barely a few leaves in a forest."she smiled prettily at the dragon.Drakon couldn't help thinking how good Diamond looked.Lovely shapely legs, good physique, very nice breasts.Very nice breasts.He softened his tone.

"I worked hard for it."

"You mean you stole it off someone who worked even harder for it." she replied.

"Who are you, dragon huntress?"

"My name is Diamond, Drakon.How did you know I was a dragon hunter rather than a thief."

"I guessed."Drakon gave the shackles another tremendous heave, but they stayed in place.

She really was incredible. Cunning, quick thinking, quiet moving, and bloody good looking.Drakon tried not to let his feelings show through, but he was thinking things he had since he had had himself a girlfriend dragon.Those had been the happy times of the world indeed. But Diamond was also smitten for the dragon.He was cute in a reptilian sort of way, very muscly and strong, but also as sharp as her sword.He was obviously eyeing up all the possibilities.She didn't even think about killing him after that.

Drakon would have been immensely relieved.

"What are you going to do, then Diamond?"

"Well I can't kill you.One step closer and you'd kick me, and that would kill me."

Drakon tried to lever the chains out with his forearms, again without success.

"Don't you ever give up?"

"No.You're going to leave and I will have to break free or starve."

"What were they used for?"

"Prisoners."

"Like the expedition that came up here."

"Three of them I took to foreign lands, they did try to attack me and steal my hoard.One committed suicide, and the fifth escaped."

"And Alduin."

"It was a warning.I was in a good mood."

"Did he try to attack you with a magic sword?"

"From my own hoard."

"You melted it."

"I did.Like your own sword.It is very magical.Is that how you stopped my blast?"

"No, that's my bracelet."she stopped guiltily.

"And I have a bag of carrying." she tried to cover up her mistake.

"They are handy aren't they?"Drakon replied loftily."So are you leaving?"

Diamond put her sword across her back and walked over to beside where the dragon was, who eyed her warily. She sat beside him and fingered the gold, running her hand across the gold.

"Where did you get all this?"

"A hundred years of caravans, cities and dwarf mines." Drakon replied., wondering how much he would lose to the zebra before she left.

"I've never seen so much in one place before.Truly you are a prince among dragons."

Drakon blushed at the compliment.She was resurrecting all the old feelings of love in his body. Diamond looked up at the dragon.She could tell something along his feelings, and smiled inwardly.Dragons were naturally magical and an empathic link was forming between the two, much like the link between a wizard and his familiar. He was obviously intensely attracted to her, and she wondered if he could see how much she liked him.Time for a gamble.She placed a hand on his chest, and rubbed his scales, massaging them, teasing him. She felt the shiver through her fingertips.

"You like that, do you?" she smiled."You have the most enviable pecs."

Drakon was trying to stay calm, not to be excited by her.Her hands rose up and down his chest, massaging his doubts away.He smiled properly for the first time.

"I do work out a lot.Not all of it is sleeping on gold."

"Yet you seem so lonesome, no one to stay with you.Her hands went lower, underneath his rib cage.

"Yes, it is lonely occasionally."

"You should have a girlfriend.Take your mind off all the things I detest, robbing people of their needed gold."

Drakon had an answer for that.

"I did. Once, a long time ago.I would like a companion, but I have never seen one willing." Drakon sounded depressed. Diamond went for it.

"What about me?"

There was a long pause.

"You mean it?" Drakon managed.

Diamond's response was to run her hand over the dragon's penis, stroking it in her hand back and forth.The dragon let out a sigh, and relaxed. Diamond smiled at this.

"Yes,I do."

She massaged it gently, rubbing her hands up and down it's length until it was fully erect.Ths broke yet another record. At full length it was a good two feet.She stopped rubbing, and stood. She put one foot over the dragon until she was standing astride him, and then gently lowered herself onto him The cock penetrated her vagina, and Diamond sighed in pleasure.Then she started rising and falling, feeling every inch of that cock touch her sensitive interior.Drakon let out a moan of pleasure.He had missed this for several hundreds of years.

Diamond's hands went to her breasts. Nothing this big had ever penetrated her pussy before, and it was intensely enjoyable.She ran her hands across her breasts, moaning regularly.Her head was arched up, moaning to the sky. Slowly she increased her speed, stroke by ever more wonderful stroke.

Drakon had his eyes closed, feeling nothing but Diamond's constant arousal. Her cries made him even more sexual,and when briefly opened his eyes, he saw that she was rubbing her tits. He couldn't help thinking that if he had use of his hands, then he could do that for her.His cock became rock hard, and as he became more and more aroused, he started venting flame, like an out of control acetylene torch. Diamond had an inspiration.

"Dra-Drakon, flame at me."

Drakon looked astonished, but complied.The flame again did no harm, but instead enveloped her. Diamond felt the intense warmth caress her skin, a blissful feeling penetrating all through her body, and she almost orgasmed right then and there. Nothing anyone had ever done to try and get her off had came close to what Drakon had just achieved.She could feel the moment approaching, and tried to time it. Just before she felt herself orgasm, she ordered Drakon to flame again. He did so, the flame core blue with the intense firepower behind it. Again it cocooned her, seducing all her senses, and she raised her head, and orgasmed, howling in joy. She felt her juices running down her pussy and across her skin. She looked down and saw the white splashes of liquid over Drakon's strong body, most of it around his throbbing member and on his legs. She stopped, letting Drakon's cock slide all the way up inside her, and tried to catch her breath. She panted in exhaustion, and Drakon looked at her.

"Why did you stop?"

"That was wonderful." she gasped,"I'm sorry Drakon, but it's, it's like nothing I've ever experienced."

She regained her composure, and begun again. Drakon blew on her constantly,enjoying the intense look of bliss on her face every time he did so. But she always stopped after each orgasm, unable to continue, and so Drakon was unable to cum. It was exasperating.

The wild howls of delight from the zebra went on for many hours through the night.

Finally, at about five in the morning, Diamond stood, and got off Drakon. His legs and member were covered in white liquid, none of it his own. Diamond sat down, sweat running off her. She was aware that Drakon had not cummed, but was feeling mischievious.It would combine her vow with her love. She would leave him alone for the day to ponder her offer, and if he agreed, she would set him free, and let him have his wishes. She stood up.

"Where are you going?" Drakon asked.

"I still have a vow to keep.You stay there until you promise not to attack anyone."

"What!!?" Drakon roared, anger bubbling through him.

"I told Alduin that I would stop you by any means." she walked out of the chamber with her bag. Drakon was stunned.He was thinking that he had been used, and he spoke after a few minutes.

"No one has ever used me, and no one ever will."

He closed his eyes, tensed himself, and let the anger and adrenaline surge through him.Then he arched his head and roared, flinging his arms forward.Like the were tiger that can shatter chain and ropes, such was the power Drakon through himself forward with. The steel chains resisted briefly, and then broke under the strain. Drakon opened his eyes, and saw that the chains had snapped, but he still had his cuffs on.His wrists were bleeding the cuffs had cut in so deep, but it didn't matter.He was free. He moved his arms to dispel the stiffness.

"She obviously likes me a lot." he spoke aloud his thoughts."And it's clear to her that I love her.She was just being dominating, she likes being in that position.But she also made a vow to stop me."

He wanted Diamond deeply, and began to use his cunning mind to come up with a plan to get both of them happy. Two hours later he left the cave with an idea.He took off, beating his wings heavily.His keen eyes looked for Diamond, and he spotted her entering the gates of the village.

Alduin was hammering his sign back in place when he turned and saw her.

"You're alive?"

"Is that any reason to sound so surprised?"

"How?"

"Any dragon huntress needs fire protection."

"Your bracelet." Alduin guessed shrewdly." What did you do with Drakon?"

"Still chained up.I've told him I'll set him free if he promises not to attack you."

"What did he say to that?"

"I don't think he's had much time to think on it."

Wrong. There was a flash of red and black, and Diamond was gone.Alduin shouted.

"I think he has." Then he started running towards the council house.

Diamond, wrapped up in the dragon's large clawed hands, spoke calmly.

"You could have waited."

"We need to talk." Drakon replied.

He flew back to the hills, and landed on a plateau of rock, forty metres by forty metres, and about thirty metres straight down to the ground.No one could climb up without equipment.Drakon released Diamond, and she sat down on a rock.

"What about this talk?"

"Two things."

"Fire away."

"Firstly I will cease my raids on the caravans and the town on two conditions.Firstly, I will ask for some tribute, less then what I normally steal." he said.Diamond nodded.

"That might be arranged.What's the other condition?"

"You stay with me." Diamond paused.

"I've always been a wanderer."

"We can wander together, and still a cave to come back to.I'm sure you feel the same way."Drakon tried to persuade her. Diamond tried to imagine the reception if she turned up on the back of a dragon.But Drakon was right.

"We shall see." she smiled.Drakon nodded.

"What was the other thing, Drakon?"Diamond asked.Drakon smiled.

"We have some unfinished business."

She lay on the rock, laughing.

"I agree."

Drakon moved in on her, and she spread her legs. Drakon pinned her arms with his own, putting some of his considerable weight on her. She was now trapped, and now Drakon slid his cock into her vagina.

Diamond soon felt that having the dragon do all the work was much more pleasing, for all she had to do was relax. The dragon worked fairly quickly, thrusting his cock 'Allegro con brio'. Every stroke was bliss, and she let out several cries at the dragon's efforts.

A group who had been sent to find Diamond had heard her cries from the top of the bluff, but couldn't climb up. Such were her cries and his roars that they thought he was torturing her.The made a unanimous decision to go back and tell everyone.

The so believed tortured dragon huntress was having the time of her life. As it has previously been mentioned, dragon take a little longer to cum,and, Diamon orgasmed multiple time, each time with a cry louder than the last.The cries added to the dragon's arousal, and he thrust harder and faster. Diamond realised that Drakon was almost ready.

"Please,uh,oooh, don't cum in me.Oh this is so good."she implored.Drakon nodded, and continued fucking her.But before he ejaculated, he pulled his cock and stroked it against Diamond's stomach.Then he ejaculated.

With a savage roar, the white cum flooded down his cock and squirted out onto Diamond's breasts and face.Diamond freed one arm, and milked the dragon's cock until he could cum no longer.Then they both lay down in exhaustion.Diamond started wiping the dragon's cum off her.

"I'm going to have to go and tell the villager's your demands.I'll make it sound as though you beat the hell out of me."

"Now why would I do that?" Drakon replied plaintitively.Diamond walked over and climbed onto Drakon's back. Drakon stood.Diamond looked up.

"I never thought I'd get this opportunity. To ride astride a dragon."

"You managed it well enough last night."

Diamond started laughing " I meant while he was flying."

Drakon swooped off the pillar, and flew to the cave. Diamond got off the dragon's back.

"How did you get free, Drakon?"

"I broke the chains." Diamond looked at the cuffs, the five centimetres of broken chain, and the dried blood on his wrists.

"Oh, Drakon, I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing." he replied dismissively.

Three hours later, Diamond limped painfully over the rise to the village.Alduin came rushing out.He put her arm around his shoulder, and took her weight, helping her towards the gates.

"Diamond, what the devil happened?"

"He,he attacked me." she said faintly, grinning inwardly,"He said he'd stop under two conditions.First, we pay him about half about what he used to steal, as tribute." Alduin nodded.

"That's reasonable.What's the second?"

"I have to stay with him."

Alduin looked properly horrified.

"I...I...look at you!We heard your screams half way from the village."

Diamond looked away, trying to conceal a grin.She would have to tell Drakon that their unfinished business had been over heard.

"What I'm getting at is why, because I know you're considering it."

Diamond nodded.

"I intend to. He was only angry at me for chaining him up."

Alduin let Diamond down by the fountain, and then headed to the council house at a dead run.

Diamond returned to the cave in the evening.Drakon was asleep on the gold.Diamond tried to sneak up to him, but Drakon rolled over.

"You're not fooling anyone you know."

"Neither are you." she grinned.

"So what did they say?"

"After my noble sacrifice to stay with you,"Drakon snorted with laughter," they agreed, and I can go down to get food and medical equipment."

"Did you limp through the gate?"

"Yes, how did you guess?"

"That would explain the 'medical equipment'."

"So now what?" Diamond asked.

"First,"Drakon announced," you can tell me what you want to do tonight."

"Second?"

"Second, you can get these bloody manacles off me. You took the key when you took the gold."
