Chapter 12- Young Lovers
"Well, sweetie, you don't want to ruin your bed, do you?" Crystalia murrs back.
"Oh, no, not that, I just want to wrestle a little bit." Nol replies truthfully.
"Oh, that I can get behind." Crystalia growls, pushing herself on top of Nol and rolling him onto his back, before crawling on top of him, pinning him down.
"Ohh, you're going to pay for that!" Nol growls back, throwing Crystalia off of him and faux biting at her, making her jump back, rolling off the bed in the process.
On the way down, Crystalia's head hits the side of the bed, causing her to yip in pain as a trickle of blood begins to seep out from between her scales.
"Oh, sweetie, are you okay?" Nol coos, crawling over to Crystalia.
"Yeah, just give me a minute to heal this." Crystalia groans, straightening her tangled limbs, and pressing a paw to the back of her skull, ebbing the flow of blood. She quickly removes the paw, allowing her to cast a healing spell before she presses her paw back onto the bloody spot on her head.
"Ahhhh, that feels better." Crystalia sighs as the spell numbs her pain before sealing the wound.
"I'm sorry mate." Nol whines when he feels Crystalia's weight settle on the bed again.
"It's fine, it was an accident, you didn't know that would happen." Crystalia soothes, entwining her tail with Nol's, bringing him closer to her body. She smiles as he timidly looks into her eyes, betraying his fear of her retaliation; abandoning words, Crystalia opens her toothy maw slightly and pulls Nol closer, he quickly realizes what she wants, opening his mouth slightly, locking his maw with hers, embracing each other while lavishing in the pleasure of a wonderful kiss.
"Heh... That was amazing, mate." Nol huffs, trying to catch his breath, after they pull away from a nearly five-minute long kiss.
"That was fun." Crystalia compliments, licking Nol's face with her long, almost snakelike tongue, making him laugh slightly at the tickling sensation.
They lay there, cuddled together on the bed for little more than an hour before they both fall asleep.
...
They awake suddenly the next morning to a loud knocking on the door.
"Wakey wakey, sleepyheads." Nol's mom says from the other side.
"Uggh, what time is it mom?" Nol sighs, cuddled tightly to his mate's chest.
"No matter what I say, you'll complain that it's too early." She replies from the other side.
"Fine..." Nol sighs, breaking his embrace with Crystalia.
"Come on love, let's go." Nol whispers, licking his mate's face as he stretches.
They both crawl out of bed, re-dressing and sharing one final, loving kiss before they open the door, Nol holding it open for the female.
"Hey, mom, can Crystalia and I go take a flight?" Nol hollers in the general direction of his parents.
"Sure, just be back before dark." She replies after a few minutes.
"Thanks mom!"
"Let's go, I know somewhere not too far from here that's really private." Nol whispers to his mate.
Crystalia nods, following Nol as he exits, taking off quickly.
They fly for an hour before Nol starts to descend as a small forest begins to crest over the horizon. They land gently, side by side, as Nol leads Crystalia into the forest. They soon find a large, ring of trees that is completely closed off, aside from a single entrance, and is completely shrouded from above. Nol enters, casting a simple spell, causing a few small floating globs of light to appear. He pokes them, spreading them out, before he casts another spell, dimming them and turning their harsh light to a soft, golden glow that barely lights up the area.
"Wow, I never knew you used magic..."
"Heh. I've been practicing since our last time together," Nol replies, "I wanted to impress you."
"Well, you don't need magic to do that, sweetie." Crystalia coos lovingly, "Nice job with the romantic environment too."
"Well, I wanted to have a fitting environment for us to..." Nol pauses, trying to think of the best way to put his thoughts into words. "...explore each other."
"Well said, love... Well said."
"So, anything you want to do before we play~?" Nol inquires suggestively.
"Actually, yes, I do;" Crystalia returns, "catch me."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean, you have to catch me before you play with me." Crystalia explains.
"Oh... if you insist..."
Nol jumps at Crystalia just as he finishes speaking, catching her slightly off guard. She barely manages to jump out of the way, narrowly avoiding a bite to the neck. Crystalia growls mock-threateningly at her mate, flapping her wings to make herself appear larger. Nol circles around Crystalia, looking for an opening, unaware of her plans. Suddenly, Nol jumps at Crystalia, who quickly counters by pushing him back with a shove of her tail, throwing him onto his back, slightly dazed as his head hits the ground. She stands over him, as he had done to her before, looking lustfully into his eyes.
"Go ahead, you won." Nol concedes, accepting his defeat.
Crystalia smiles, she places paw into Nol's chest for balance, and thrusts herself down onto her mate. Her instincts immediately kick in, causing her world to go black as her mind fills with pleasure.
When she begins to return to consciousness, Crystalia grins as she finds herself still straddling her mate, who is still trying to catch his breath. She shivers as she stands up, glancing coyly at Nol's lower body, barely able to catch a glimpse of his slightly slackened slit through the thick fluids that cover both of their crotches.
"Wow, mate, I'm exhausted, and I didn't do anything!" Nol tells Crystalia bluntly.
"Well, I don't feel quite satisfied, but I can't deny that I still feel amazing after that."
"Well, if you want to come over here, I can help with your problem", Nol responds sensually.
A shiver runs through Crystalia's body as she contemplates her mate's offer. "No, I think I'll get this one myself." She giggles.
She prods at her crotch, grunting as she hits her mark, her mind going blank and her instincts kicking in. When she wakes, she smiles, seeing Nol watching attentively. She pulls her digits out of herself, eyes going half-lidded as a last wave of pleasure hits her, making her moan. She licks her toes clean, before moving to her crotch and repeating the process; Nol does the same, and they both re-dress themselves. As they leave, Nol dispels the blobs of light before leading his mate out of the forest.
"Fuck!" Nol shouts, stomping angrily as the light from a setting sun weaves through the trees.
"Woah, no need to be mad love, I'm good for more than just company, remember?"
"I thought you didn't know how to control your teleportation." Nol responds, greatly confused.
"Well, I don't, but I think I can manage to do it on command, in theory." Crystalia responds.
"What if you mess up, you could kill yourself!" Nol rages.
"Do we have another choice?!" Crystalia shouts, tired of her mate underestimating her abilities.
"I guess not..." Nol replies, immediately sobered by Crystalia's sudden anger.
"Follow me and do exactly as I say, and you'll be fine."
Crystalia quickly finds a dense patch of soft, warm grass, on which she lays, making herself comfortable.
"Join me." Crystalia calmly suggests, bringing Nol to her side.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"Just lay with me and make sure to keep a tight grip on my paw." Crystalia replies assertively.
"What are you going to do", Nol asks worriedly as he grips his mate's paw tightly.
"Think."
"And how's..." Nol begins to speak but, as he does so, the air is knocked out of his lungs by the powerful jolt as they appear inside of his room. "Wow, that's..." Nol starts, impressed by the smooth feeling of his mate's teleportation but unable to put it into words.
"Smooth?" Crystalia suggests.
"Yeah, that's about right." Nol replies.
"Portals suck, I threw up the first time I used one."
"Really, wow, that stinks." Nol comments consolingly.
"It's fine, it's in the past." Crystalia replies, laughing.
They walk up behind the two adults standing just outside the front door, Crystalia clears her throat, startling them both.
Nol's mom yelps in surprise, "Where did you come from!"
"We teleported." Nol responds, glancing confidently at Crystalia as he does so.
"How'd you.. There aren't any portals in this area, let alone one in this house!" His mom responds, suspecting foul play.
"Mom, did you forget who I took with me?"
"No, I just refuse to believe that a dragoness that young is capable of teleportation." She replies harshly.
"Well, prepare to have your mind blown." Adinia smiles as she walks out to the end of the hundred or so yard approach before speaking mentally to Crystalia, "You know what to do."
Crystalia sends Adinia a mental nod before laying down on the hardwood floor, thinking of Adinia, creating a deep yearning to be with her, grinning slightly as her form flickers out of existence. A few seconds later, Crystalia appears, standing abreast with Adinia; she decides to show off a little, fading out of existence before appearing fifty or so feet in the air, directly above Nol's unsuspecting mother, causing her to jump as a shadow suddenly appears above her, yelping once again as Crystalia's sleek form lands directly in front of her without warning.
"I... I stand corrected." She stammers, completely stricken by the experience.
"Goodbye!" Crystalia shouts into the house before she takes off after Adinia, barely giving Nol a chance to holler a reply.
"Goodbye!"
"So, I guess we're going to head to the castle?" Crystalia sighs dully after a few minutes.
"Not at all, we still have to go visit your parents!"
"Yay!", Crystalia cries out with joy, chirping happily. "But I don't really know where they live..."
"You don't need to worry about that, I know you'll find another way."
Crystalia thinks for a minute, her thoughts eventually landing on her aura tracking ability. She stretches her wings, gliding gracefully, her eyes closed as she searches her memories for a clear look at her parents and finding one almost immediately, identifying their aura soon after. She abruptly changes direction, Adinia coasting in her wake.
They fly silently, both losing track of time, eventually finding themselves at the castle, unaware of how they got there.
"Did we just?" Crystalia utters absentmindedly, her jaw visibly slackened.
"I think we may have; indeed."
"What are we going to do now, Adinia?"
"Well, it is dark, I say we call it a day and see what happens tomorrow."
"I'm tired." Crystalia remarks, "Let's get to your quarters and crash for the night."
"Good idea." Adinia yawns.
They make their way to the gate, waving off the guards, who open the gate without question. They smile at one another before taking off at a full sprint, both attempting to outrun the other. Crystalia finds her second wind about halfway through the castle, her speed doubling as she shoots past the queen, whose measured breaths catch in her throat as she sees Crystalia shoot through the open door to her quarters at the end of the hall. Adinia shoots Crystalia a small grin before they go their separate ways, Crystalia going upstairs to shower before heading to bed while Adinia slips out of her clothes, anxious to get to sleep. Crystalia takes a steamy shower, smiling as she notices, for the first time, that she can feel Nol's fluid love sloshing deep inside of her stomach. She sighs contentedly as she hops out of the shower, savoring the sloshing feeling deep in her stomach; she knew that if she were a few years older, she would've had her mate's clutch, the thought aroused her greatly. She shakes and dries herself off, groaning happily as the rotary motion of her body causes further splashing of her mate's life essence within her, causing her to growl lustfully.
"Mmmm, I'm going to have to toy with Nol more often." Crystalia coos to herself.
She finishes drying herself and exits into the bedroom, exhausted as she flops onto her bed, causing an audible sloshing inside her. She smiles, pulling her blankets over herself, before curling up and resting her head on the thick base of her tail, falling asleep within minutes. Crystalia sleeps soundly, stirring occasionally in her sleep, but never quite fully waking.
...
The sun looming over the horizon shines light through the windows in the far wall of the Queen's quarters, threatening to rouse the sleeping dragons that lie within. Adinia stretches happily about an hour after sunup, silently walking up to wake her student.
"Good morning, Crystalia." she coos, rubbing a paw along the young girl's back, massaging her sleek, muscular form. Even with the age difference and gender similarity between them, Adinia couldn't help but find herself lost in wonder toward Crystalia's immaculate form; the way it curved so smoothly, the fact that her proportions were so perfect- other than her paws, which were about twice as big as average, even for someone with as much growing left as she had.
Crystalia's eyes open slowly as she groans, rubbing her eyes with her tail, clearing off the invisible film that had recently begun forming over her eyes, cleaning them as she slept. While it was a very useful evolutionary trait, it was quite annoying too, as it formed under both her eyelids, making it hard to safely remove and it was only partially translucent, acting like a foggy lens over her eyes. After Crystalia removes the film, she looks up at the Queen, startling the older female, her head whipping around to look at Crystalia's face.
"Oh, do I look that good?" Crystalia teases her teacher, knowing exactly what she had been doing.
"No, I was just... looking at the window." Adinia replies frantically, poorly covering the truth.
"Sure, sure," The younger girl chuckles, "keep telling yourself that, maybe it'll come true." Crystalia jubilantly crawls off of the bed, stretching slowly, deliberately putting herself on display for the Queen, thinking for a second about the side-effect of her undertail being put on display for the queen; she quickly shrugs off the thoughts, deciding to ignore them.
"You are certainly comfortable with putting yourself on display."
"Well, just for those I know." Crystalia replies sheepishly, blushing profusely as the scales on her face are flooded with blood.
That was always something she found weird, the only scales that had blood-flow were those covering her face. It was always annoying when she was trying to be sly and her cheeks decided to flush and betray her intentions.
"Well, there's no need for us to get dressed. It's time to start training again." Adinia says nonchalantly.
Crystalia nods visibly before following the Queen to the 'training portal', as she had taken to calling it. Adinia walks into it first, being followed quickly by Crystalia, whose stomach lurches at the sudden acceleration upon entry and exit.
"Uggh, I really hate those things." Crystalia groans as she starts to feel hungry, quickly drowning her displeasure with the portals.
"So, you're hungry already." Adinia comments pseudo-mindlessly, feigning small talk.
"Damnit! I can't believe I forgot", Crystalia growls at herself.
"It's okay, I'm just skimming the surface, anything you don't consciously think about is invisible to me."
"What are we even doing here today?"
"It's simple, pin me down for ten seconds. But, you'll have to fight well, as I will be doing everything I can to do the same to you." Adinia replies.
"But what if I hurt you?"
"Don't worry, I'll heal. Injuries aren't more than an unintended side-effect."
"So, this is going to be an all out brawl, with claws and teeth?" Crystalia asks worriedly.
"Yes, my dear, it will be. Although there is no need to worry, I have taken precautions to make sure that nobody dies here today."
"I think I need some time to process this..." Crystalia sighs, her voice wavering slightly.
Adinia walks up behind her student, who has laid down, starting to think through this challenge, and starts massaging the tight muscles along her back, eliciting a groan from Crystalia.
"Ohhhh, gods, it's hard to concentrate with you doing that~."
"That's good, the less you think about it, the better off you'll be. I hope you can trust my judgment here."
"I guess... I can." Crystalia says, pushing away thoughts of this exercise possibly ending with one or both of them dead.
Crystalia climbs to her feet, turning to face the Queen, who now stands about five feet away, brandishing her sharp claws.
"So, are you ready?"
"Yes."
Crystalia growls as she springs forward towards the Queen, who handily counters with a swift spin punctuated by a slap of her tail against Crystalia's chest, sending the younger female crashing onto her back. Adinia takes advantage of this, jumping forward and landing on her student, knocking the wind out of her and pinning her to the ground. Crystalia growls and lurches forward, sinking her fangs into her teacher's neck, causing the older female to reel in pain as she bleeds profusely around Crystalia's jaws. Crystalia follows this up by digging her front claws into Adinia's chest, pushing up and to the side as she attempts to roll them over, eventually succeeding and rolling them so she is on top. Crystalia yelps around her teacher's neck as she feels claws digging into her chest and thighs, as Adinia attempts to force Crystalia to release her grip on her neck so she can launch a retaliatory attack. Crystalia refuses to budge, even as Adinia's claws draw bloody lines down her midsection. Though she outwardly appears unaffected, Adinia can tell that Crystalia is about to break, doubling down on her efforts to claw into her student. Adinia suddenly flips them both over as Crystalia gasps in pain, momentarily releasing her choking bite, giving Adinia the opportunity to take dominance in the situation, rolling them over once more. The Queen delivers a crushing bite to her student's neck, not breaking it, but sinking her fangs deep into Crystalia's hide, puncturing into the red flesh below. Adinia counts ten seconds before slowly releasing her bite and removing her now bloodied claws from the ruts they had formed in Crystalia's hide.
Adinia checks Crystalia's vitals before falling flat on the ground, still bleeding from various wounds. She wakes a few hours later, poking Crystalia with a paw, waking the young dragoness, checking over her body to be certain everything had healed.
Crystalia, upon waking, looks at the bloody form of her teacher standing before her, gasping as she jumps to her feet, not even thinking of the damage that had been done to her own body, let alone the fact that it had healed perfectly.
"Adinia, are you okay!?"
"Yes, sweetie, just a little bloody, that's all." Adinia replies calmly, grinning as she sees Crystalia begin to process what she meant.
"Wait, how am I alive?"
"Well, I have enchanted this area with an aura of regeneration, it protects anything within from death and heals all wounds perfectly." Adinia explains cooley.
"And, I guess I lost, huh?" Crystalia sighs.
"Yes, you did, but once again, I didn't expect you to win. I grew up training with the previous Queen, who taught me everything I know. Needless to say, she was a feared and respected warrior, no matter which side you were on."
"So, what was the point of that?"
"The point was that I wanted to have a nice way to introduce you to hand-to-hand combat, before I asked you a very important question."
"Wh... what would that be?" Crystalia gulps, shrinking into herself.
"Do you want to learn how to beat me?" Adinia replies calmly.
"I... I mean..."Crystalia stutterers, unsure of how she should answer.
"It's okay, I won't be offended by any answer you give."
"Yes, I would be honored." Crystalia responds, bowing as she finishes speaking.
"Good, and I do have to give you credit, you gave me challenge there. I thought I would loose for a second or two." Adinia compliments, a cute smile growing on her student's bloody maw.
