#6 of Royal blood

Well it has been a long time since i last written a chapter and i had to rewrite quite a lot of it to make it work out but here it is. I hope my writing style hasn't changed to much over the time since i last written chapter 5 a year or so back. I hope you quite enjoy the new installment of the series.


The landscape was dominated with small wooden houses and larger stone houses. The paths between the housed has been partially paved. Jack could remember it all too well, the scent of fresh baked bread mixed with the reek of Animal faeces and urine. Living among the dragons for so long he barely remembered his old live. The live of his time as a boy running through the street for yet another errant. Collecting coins from sometimes shady clients and bringing the money back to his master. It was not until his first real assignment to deliver a horse that he was introduced with brute force into a different live.

The landscape changed to a large cliff face, the city of dragons. It was large than most human cities he have seen, even when the population was smaller. Most lairs had been carved out with tooth and claw from the black granite. He remembered this place so well when it first started, How he and Ëmeralde lived together in their own lair. How other dragons joined the fertile grounds and how the dragons regained their strength.

He flew over the city of dragons without care, he felt in a high.

A human without wings couldn't fly for long and soon he was smacked down into the ground by reality "We are under attack!" He could see the devastation of the human armies marching towards the city of dragons in what would be a bloody fight to the death. He remembered the first war like it was yesterday. An army of three hundred humans against twenty full grown dragons. One of the oldest of his nest, just reached adult the summer before, Fought and died along his side. He never will forget the grief he felt when he watched his child laying on the ground, bleeding all around him. He remembered the grief well like his other child...the one that was killed with his sword.

He was torn out of his short lived memory by a hit of a dragon's tail; He damned well knew that would happen when the Kingdom of the roses would attack the dragon empire again. He remembered damned to well how they would backstab and betray to get victory. He was prepared for anything. His gaze turned to the dragon guard who brought the news. He was a fine looking young dragon, a little bit smaller then Äwe with ocean blue scales covering his body. The dragon guards gazed back at Jack's strange with yellow eyes. The dragon's look spoke clear as any book, the dragon guard was wondering what this half human half dragon was before him. A painful reminder in what the dragon's magic was doing to him.

Jäkai turned his attention towards Äwe and her rider, his gaze sharpened and his voice turned emotionless. "We continue this late, The circle needs someone to lead and it might just be our future king and queen" Jack felt an odd feeling in his body when he followed his son trough the tunnels of the place they called a palace. He helped digging most of these tunnels yet he did not really feel at him. It has been so long ago since he walked these halls and now no guard really paid attention to him. "She never restored my full honour Äwe" He reminded his dragon. "Don't worry dad, everything will be alright, they can't banish you again while you are my rider. Besides as prince and future Queen I can restore it before anyone even gets an idea of who you fully are"

Two large golden inlaid wooden doors appeared before the small group. Two guards where standing tall and proud next to each door. From their height they looked distrusting down up on the human that walked among the dragons. Jack could feel the tension rising, it has been a long time a human had any important place among dragons and the wars the Kingdom of the rose fought against the dragons where still fresh in the minds of many dragons. The guards did open the gates, showing a large circular room with smooth polished walls. The walls where covered in luxurious red dyed banners of the dragon empire. Two dragons holding a sword in their claws while fire was flaring all around their bodies.

He sought emotional support from Äwe, when he gazed among those who were already in the room. The circle was an group of old and wise dragons who fought wars and helped the King and Queen with advise on how to deal with problems. It had not surprised Jack that for the last years without King or Queen they cared for the dragon empire. Judging by how the empire was rulled, they were doing a good job. "Welcome to the Circle" One of the dragons stepped forwards. His body a brownish green, his voice strong yet harmonic like a male opera singer. A rush of panic shot through Jack's mind, still wanting to keep his true nature a secrete he did not truly knew how to deal with this kink in the road. It was no one else then Veritas, brother do Jäckai, Veritas was the last to hatch from the first nest but he was fierce. He could plan anything in cold calm while a battle was raging around him. He was the only one who could fight next to a brother of him while he was being slain.

It took Jack some effort to forget the cold lust for revenge he seen in Veritas' eyes for so long ago. From all the looks he gotten from dragons when his daughter died, Veritas' had the most terrifying look. He suspected their always had been more going on between him and his daughter, yet he never really knew what. "We trust you have not been told what the circle is...and honestly I hope you didn't read it when you broke into the library" His voice was filled with disgust, if he only knew who Jack really was. Jack shook his head, not really bothering with introductions, he might have a common name among the humans, he did not want to hint anymore to his true identity. He did suspect that Veritas had some idea trough, the way he looked at him, with barely contained anger.

"No, after the events of the past weeks, I had little time to settle into the traditions of the dragons." Jack spoke partially in lie, partially in truth. He had counted on Veritas' advise for more than just now. "Do they know?" He wondered out loud to Äwe. She laid her nose on his shoulder. "I don't think so...Trough he is not the only one of your children still flying, most are in other cities and villages trough." Veritas continued onwards with a story. "The circle advised the king and queen, for the last years who had been those who ruled the dragon empire. But with a war on the verge of breaking out the dragons need a new king and queen." He added softly "Not that we are happy about a human king" Jack looked around the circle. He saw four other dragons, two where obviously female. One had a deep purple scale colour with red eyes, the other was an turquoise blue. The two remaining males where both black dragons with blue eyes. He remembered those, the orphan brothers. They joined the kingdom among the first, their parents slain by humans.

"It would be a fools job to ignore the circle's advice" Jack nodded softly around, hoping to strike a good cord at by the dragons. Most of the dragons soften their gaze, only Veritas remained stern and emotionless like always. Äwe broke into the conversation to avoid Jack being drawn to much attention to. "What do you know of the attack eldern?" The turquoise blue dragoness stepped forwards. "We can only speculate, It is in a village way up in the mountains. Humans never bothered us way up there. The few humans who know of the village are riders" Jack swore he could hear a sour tone in her voice when the spoke the last words. One of the black dragon brothers interrupted. "Should we really have a rider who was on trial for treason in our planning?" The foundation in jack's worry only grew stronger with the comment, he was aware that the riders and dragons had an odd break between them. If no dragon trusted the riders, then why are they around? Veritas turned around and clicked his teeth at the black dragon. "Do you sugest that we remove our future queen from important decisions Nemor?" Jack felt the low hiss from Veritas trough his bones. "He is bound to Äwe so we have little choice but to trust on her instincts." Jack could feel Äwe's emotions of anger joining his frustration. "I wish I could kick Nemor out of the circle" She growled softly to Jack. "Ever since the trouble between the humans and dragons started he did do nothing but to distrust any rider and any dragon who had a rider." Veritas interrupted with a loud growl, he gazed back at Jack again with an angry gaze. For someone who rarely displayed emotions, the gazed of anger from Veritas where truly terrifying. "Any protest against Jack being here?" A cold shiver ran down Jack's spine, how did Veritas knew his name. His eyes glazed over Jäkai but he looked forwards and did not even do as much to glaze back at his father. "Good now Before I get rudely interrupted again, The riders should be put on hold. We can't risk them flying out, and killing...or worse. We all knew what happened to our last king" He growled softly.

Jack found it time to bring in his ideas. "Would that be wise, We can use the riders to gather intel. Send a few hidden as merchants to the kingdom to see what they are up to." He was gazed at by the whole circle by anger. Even from Äwe he felt some...frustration to put it like that. "True the riders might not be the best of choice with conflicts between dragons and humans. Yet if they betray us now then we know their true intentions. Better then wait till an all-out war and finding out that we get toasted from the back."

The circle stepped back, they watched Jack's words in silence, without a doubt they were discussing internally. After what seemed forever to Jack, they spoke again. "Well, true. Teria" He spoke to the purple dragoness. "Get a few trusted riders and brief them on the mission. I hope this will not be a risk to big." Veritas gazed around the circle again. "And I want a little private conversation without new rider here" Veritas spoke with barely contained anger, something that was bad news for Jack. Jäkai wanted to leave with the rest of the cicle but Veritas stopped him. "stay please brother." He sounded nice to Jäkai, almost too nice.

The dragons where gone, only Veritas, Jäkai, Äwe and jack where left in the room. Veritas' gazed turned to Jack again. "So you came back after all this time" He spoken to him. Jack feared his fears became reality. "I beg your pardon Veritas" Veritas moved his head towards Jack. Ending face to face with him. Jack felt the hot dragon's breath flushing over his face. "By the ancients you know what I talk about Father. Did you honestly think I could not remember you scent, your face, your name, even with this odd dragon deformation around you." Jack's blood seemed to turn into ice, his knees felt weak but he had to keep on standing. He tried to get some support from Äwe but she was just as shocked.

"Uhm well" Jack started, stumbling over his own words, a bit lost in the situation. How many dragons would know of who he truly was? "And now you are a rider, seriously dad? Your own bloody daughter?" Veritas spoke from height again. Äwe stepped forwards to get some heat from her father. "Brother, He bound to me because I was the one who forced it on him after I discovered he was our father. I could not let him die. And mother would not protest"

Veritas gazed back in anger "How do you even knew what mother would do! She died in pain and sadness of what he did to her! What he did to his daughter." Jack interrupted Äwe before she could say anything. "Honestly Veritas, did you even know how I felt that time? Do you know how You and your mother treated me?" He Took a deep breath, he had to suppress his anger not to explode against his own son. Of course it was hard to accept that your father has returned after a long time, not aged a day since he first disappeared. "Veritas, I did not plan this, I wanted to search for her, search for your mother and this just happened. I was angry on Äwe at first too. Especially since I am her father" He took a deep breath hoping to calm Veritas' anger once more. Not that it helped much but the anger of the dragon turned to Jäkai. "And you brother, why did you not open your mouth about this." Jäkai did not let the angry tone of Veritas get to him, he was used to such behaviour by now. "Oh believe me brother" Jäkai started, at first I opened my mouth about it, and they know. He started. "Yet I see no reason to stay angry." Jäkai's gaze turned to a judgemental look. "You cannot blame Father, nor for his relation with Äwe. After all..." The words made Veritas turn partially white on the face, something he knew scared Veritas. Jack turned his head to look at the two dragons, he thought he knew everything of his children. It proven that over the time dragons change, not a shocking revelation.

"You have no right to..." Veritas started, Jack interrupted. "What he has no right to? Veritas, tell me" His voice strained with emotions. "Tell me what my right is when I was forced out of my home without any way to defend myself" Veritas lowered his head to get eye to eye with his father. Jack could see the anger in the yellow eyes, it did not scare him. Jack had faced worse by now. "We both know that Incest is..." Jäkai interrupted before Jack could even come to an counter argument. "Don't even dare to judge Father on that, Not you. You mated your own sister, two nests removed." Jack felt a cold shiver running through his body, did his son really now? Veritas turned red hot with anger, Jack would be more surprised if the two attacked each other on the spot. "You!" Veritas' tone had barely contained anger. "Egg breaker you made an oath" Jäkai stayed calm at the insult "Yes I made an oath brother, but that oath was made under the impression that you would not turn into a hypocrite"

"Enough" Stopped the two dragons from fighting. "Veritas, is this true" He had a stern tone. "Did you mate her?" He referred to the daughter he lost that faithful night. The only dragoness of that nest, and a strong image of her mother. Veritas bend his head down like a sculled child, The stern tone of his father still had an impact on him. "Yes, and before you ask we did not tell you because...well you know why" Jack nodded softly in understanding, trying to ease away most of the anger. "Opinions change Veritas. Knowing what I know now, I fail to see something wrong in it." Veritas grumbled under his breath "But it's incest" Jack pulled the tips of his mouth into a soft smile. "So?" Äwe added with a little hesitation she never seen her two brothers get this angry. "Most dragons are related to each other now a days, remember why we even brought the mating with humans into existence." Jack filled in for Äwe "Besides I doubt there any more humans who are unbound and have draconic children" Veritas turned his head away from his father, no longer wishing to have him again. "We still have the matter of the Kingdom to attend to" He paused, before spitting the words out "Father"

"Like I said, send a rider to the village to find out who or what." Veritas dismissed Jack's idea with a few grumbles "Most dragon do not trust the riders anymore...they are just an necessary end to keep the gene pool fresh" Jack shook his head at the stubbornness of his child, it was after all a draconic version of himself. "I will go with them." Both Jäkai and Äwe objected to the idea "You can certainly not be serious about that." Jäkai started and Äwe finished "If you get killed...You do not look human anymore."

"Of course I will not go into the village but they rapport to me each day, making it difficult to betray" While Jäkai and Äwe where not convinced by the idea, Veritas certainly was. "The bounded dragons should remain here, that includes Äwe." Jack replied "Quite naturally, having multiple dragons around would blow our cover" Veritas turned around, through the anger in his eyes was still there "It's settled, I will inform some riders and settle everything. Tomorrow you will leave father so say your goodbyes to Äwe, I am sure that would be extensive." With those words Veritas left the room, leaving Jäkai, Jack and äwe around. Jäkai shiffled a bit "Well, I leave you two alone in that case" Knowing quite well Äwe had a few words to speak to her feather.

Now quite alone Äwe gave Jack a slap on the back of his head. "You idiot! You know what you risk, not only your own life but also mine and..." Äwe was stopped by the stern voice of her father. "I know the risks, I also know that the last time we underestimated the kingdom it ended in blood shed that claimed the lives of many dragons. I do not wish to repeat that again, besides if the riders are not to be trusted I rather find out sooner than later. If they give me misinformation I can find out and deal with them on the spot, if they are going to bite our tails in the heat of battle we would have a bigger problem." Äwe surged at the words of her father. "You better not die in that case or I would kill you" Jack rolled his mouth in a soft smile, his hand reached out to scratch her under her head on that one spot she used to love back when she was just a hatchling. "No worries my dear. Now shall we leave to our nest and get some rest?" Äwe puffed her chest forwards and leaned into the scratching. "Yes, but I doubt we will get much rest, we now have to cover a whole week of bounding time!" She hummed a bit, pushing Jack forwards towards the doors.

Jack had barely enough time to get comfortable in his and Äwe's nest before she pushed him into the soft bedding material. Her claws ranked along his cloths, his skin. Without having to share a word he knew what she wanted and his cloths would not survive if he did not undress right away. He slipped out of his shirt, his trousers and pants. Laying naked on the bed with his draconic lover towering above him. Her head lowered into an intimate kiss, a kiss that should have never been shared between father and daughter. Her scales where warm to his belly, his hands where soft to her neck scales. She pulled her wings around her rider to wrap him in a warm cocoon. She could smell his intimate musk, the scent that drove her wild and into a frenzy. Her father's hands grooming her scales made her head explode in pleasure. Without actively realising it she was yet again submitting to her rider. He pushed her over to her back with ease rolling on top of her and smiling down with a grin so devious it made her blood run hot with excitement. His hands ran over her body, trailing down to her groin yet he never touched it. Teasing her even more when his hands ran down over her tail until it had the tail tip in one hand. She watched him bend her tail down, move it for her and she let it all happen. Curious what he had in mind. Their shared link grew stronger, he could feel her excitement, she could feel his. Further down her tail went until the tip was pressed into her vagina. The pair gasped in unison, her pleasure transferred trough the link. She could barely believe that he was going to tail-fuck her with her own tail! Her walls already slick from the fact that they only recently mated. Even his seed that was now, jelly like, was still inside her and leaking on her tail.

She could do nothing but to hiss at the feeling of her tail being stuffed into her slit, pushed deeper and deeper. Her walls trying to suck it in deeper like it was a nice warm cock to fill her with seed all over again. While no warm liquid goodness would come from her tail, yet it had a much better feeling, it flexed around like no cock would do. She moaned out loudly in bliss, a groan erupted from jack's mouth. He started not to just push the tail in but also to trust it in and out of her slit.

She drooled out of her mouth in pleasure, her body gently rocking at the pace of her rider's tail trusting. She could not hold for much longer and soon gave her tail a nice coating of clear women's juices. The air heavy with the pheromones of her sex. The tail was removed, she felt empty when it was. She did not had to feel empty for long trough, soon enough she could feel her father's cock tip rubbing up and down her slit, lubbing itself up for the shift penetration that followed.

Jack's mind was filled with the pleasure of both her walls around his cock and how good his cock felt within her. The two sensations send his mind into overdrive, her lust was heavy on the air he could almost taste her juices. With a wet noisy slop their hips met and the cock was halted all the way inside of her. His mind empty but the intense pleasure and the need to rut his daughter. He picked up a fast pace, grabbing both her hind legs for leverage. Her front paws clawed around in the soft bedding in the pleasure, she wiggled and written under him in intense pleasure. With each slop, each trust, they were brought to new levels higher and higher until they felt like flying, no soaring on never ending pleasure. Jack wanted to climax so badly but forced to keep himself at bay, he wanted to feel all of it, no not right. He wanted to hear, feel, his daughter beggaring with a desire that no father should have.

He gotten what he wished for, she roared out loud, making the chamber shake and trough their shared mental link she begged. She was so high on pleasure that she could barely say a word. "please daddy! Make me cum!" How could he ever refuse such a request from his dearest daughter, he trusted in a final more times. His right hand moved down to pinch her clitoris sending her into overdrive. She climaxed, her walls suckling for even more seed. Jack was most happy to provide that seed for her, sending his load deep within her. He finally collapsed with sweat rolling over his face and body, this was not even a dragoness in heat and he was already out. It would be a hard job to pleasure her need when she was in heat. He could feel her hot breath running over her face and he kissed her deeply. Soon the two fell asleep.

Jack woken up on his back, his soft member cream coated in his daughter's juices and his own seed. He hummed slowly when he looked to his right, his daughter sleeping in the nest with a nice messy spot between her legs where the two mated. He again stated his claim. He gazed down to his body to see the mess he made on himself.

"What the..." He suddenly gasped, he wanted to remain silent not wanting to wake up his daughter but what he saw, he dared not to believe. His once human member had changed into a draconic one, like the rest of his body. Barbed on the sided and a knot on the base. A tapered head that was designed to penetrate the womb and lock in place. He touched it, the cock sprung to live at the touch. Jack could barely believe it, he turned more dragon with each mating.

"I would not mind riding...that" Äwe had woken up and was looking with lusty eyes at her father's new formed cock. It would be a long night for him.
