Thread: The Princess and the Dragon ( DudeGuy and HKitten )

Once Risen had left the room, she began to brush her hair into two separate bundles. The princess hated having her hair plainly hanging around her face, so she would usually tie the strands into a half bun that hung below her neck. As she worked on her hair, Kiara??s thoughts filtered back to her new guardian. The Sky Dragon was rather on the ??strong and silent?? side, though she would have to admit that there wasn??t much room to speak when one wasn??t allowed to in the Royal??s presence. Risen had stayed silent for the most part, even when asked to strip, and when the princess allowed her hand to partly explore that body, she was amazed at how easy Risen had taken the treatment. For a brief moment, there was a look of confusion, then surprise, and finally, it all melted into a mixture of arousal and nervousness. No one had ever denied Kiara??s touch, perhaps because they feared to be put to death, or perhaps, they truly enjoyed having the ??pure?? princess lay her pristine hand upon their flesh. While many Elves desired to be in her bed, the blonde only took in Dragons. It was a bundle of reasons that led to that, one of them being power. Power was something that everyone knew could corrupt if not handled correctly. With every Royal position in life, they knew that it was possible to feel the need for more power, more strength, more control. Kiara found that to prevent herself from letting it get to her head, she would fulfill her needs via her bed partners. The Dragon clan was said to be one of the strongest groups out there, rivaling the Elvin kingdoms. While Elves held their strengths in magic and were untouched by time, Dragons were in might and their own bodies. To feel that strength under her, to control that strength?it was exhilarating. She knew that those who submit to her would cry out in either pain or pleasure, but none would dare to strike back. Those who have struck back had been ruthlessly brought down to be tortured or killed. One Dragon could take out perhaps an un-expecting princess as herself, but one Dragon could not risk the alliance their kingdoms had formed. One Dragon was not as strong as an army of those beasts. Standing up, she moved towards the washing basin and gently dipped the cloth into the cool water to wash her face. Throughout the years, she has had many lovers, some willing, some not so willing. But Kiara realized that as the years went on her love for each guardian had not grown any less as the last. Elvin-kin were gifted with what other creatures called the ??Vast Heart??. They were able to love continuously and their only weakness was to be either slain in battle or die of a broken heart. It was strange that the princess had not died of a broken heart for all her lovers that had died defending her or because she had triumphed over the sand of time, while the some had not. That was her weakness. Kiara had never allowed herself to ??mate?? with any of her lovers, to bind them in a ritual so old in time, there was no known way to ??reverse?? it. The blonde knew for certain that no one that became her guardian was going to outlive her. They would all eventually parish under her touch, lingering against her skin as if they couldn??t stand the thought of leaving her alone. Slain in battle or time, it was all the same. Dragons had a natural lifespan. Elves did not. It really wasn??t a surprise, but it still hurt every single time she found someone that would live long days with her, survive all those invasions and battles, only to lose them to the test of time. Such fragile begins when the ultimate test comes? Kiara sighed, shaking her head and drying her face. She told herself not to think about all those depressing things further, before moving towards her drawer to find something suitable to wear for the night coming. In the faint background, she could hear the roar of the crowds, the sound of the trumpets, and the ring of the holy songs. The competition had ended and it signaled that the night was coming for the grand ball, where the new Royal Guards would be given a feast to celebrate their achievements. The princess herself would have to attend with her new guardian, but for now, she figured she had a good hour to rest before she went. The blonde hummed softly as she pulled on a soft gown. Cloth leaves and vines wrapped around her form as the gown hugged her curves lovingly. The baby green material shimmered with magic and enhanced her crystalline blue eyes, making them appear like they glowed with the Northern Star??s radiance. The material was rather thin, so the peachy hue under it was actually her skin the cloth taking the color of her natural body to add to its beauty. ??Well, I suppose this will do.? she muttered to herself. Brushing the fine wrinkles out of the outfit, Kiara glanced to the side of her bed and smiled at the small hidden door she knew to be there. It had been quite some time she had used that door, so perhaps today would be a good opportunity to use it. The princess made sure that her gown was not going to get dirty, before leaning against the wall and gently sliding her fingers over the smooth surface. A small glow shimmered along the wall, outlining what appeared to be a door just a bit lower than her head and rather thin. The rush of air that came with the door opening breezed pass her hair, before the wall dented in and the ??door?? slid to the side like some automated object. It appeared her magic was still rather heavily laced into the door, reminding her that she probably didn??t need to renew it for another good century or so. Entering into the passage area, she slowly walked down the curving path and lightly fingered the walls. Beautifully carved marble lined the area, build to last for as long as she desired to use this place. The secret passage was created at first so that her guardian could rush to her side without having to go through the doors and guards, as a precaution for anything. Over time, it became unnecessary for the guardians to do that, so instead, the princess used this passage to visit her guardian, or order them to visit her. When she reached the end, her hand rested against what appeared to be a solid wall, gently pressing down against the marble surface. On the other side, the visible ??door?? gave a small sound of being unlocked, before the magic disbursed and Kiara easily pushed the secret door open. ??Well, I really haven??t used this for so long, it feels like a little adventure again.? the blonde softly laughed, as she took the last step into Risen??s room. Her eyes sparkled with mirth as she gently closed the door and tilted her head at the guardian, watching closely for her reaction to the princess?? sudden entrance.
