Part 15 Trouble For Saneira
In the past few weeks after Siss Traisa and Saneira had their eggs Rovino kept to himself. Not that he felt unwanted but he did feel like a stranger. The reason why was because one time when Saneira just had her eggs and when he went into their room to give them food both Saneira and Dragoune growled threatenly and he saw that one Dragoune's eyes was blood red when he opened it. It was like they never even knew him, and he quickly went out of the room. The day after that Dragoune said he was sorry for the way Saneira and him acted towards him. But he also pointed out that Rovino did read the book and it says never go near both male and female dragons when the eggs were just laid and hatched. From that point till when Dragoune Saneira Crosian Traisa and Siss eased up all Rovino did was get food and watch for enemies. When he finally was able to go in with out being threaten to get hurt he mostly brought food and to see how the eggs' progress. Everything turned out all right for everyone but he also was thinking about how the rest of the cities were fairing and the more he thought about it the more urgent he had to tell Dragoune, so one day he got Dragoune to go hunting with him and started the conversation.
"Dragoune I have a question that I need to ask you."
"Ask it." Dragoune said casually
"I have been thinking about Braxcon and Magnerous's cities and I was wondering what will become of them? They should know about Kaous by now but they may not know how much power he has." Said Rovino
"I have been thinking about them too but as much as I hate to say this right now there is not much I can do at this point. Speaking of this any news from Drixin?"
"Nothing really about taking the two cities if that is what you mean?" said Rovino
"I suppose not, I have a feeling that not much will happen until Kaous sees people relaxing." More to himself then Rovino.
"So what do you think Kaous wants to do?" Rovino asked snapping Dragoune out of his thoughts.
"Wha.. oh.. well that is simple actually, he wants to find me." Dragoune said this as though a big huge powerful creature was usually after him. Rovino was surprised about his coolness about it, but had to ask.
"How do you know that he is trying to find you?"
"Well for one I have been following my ancestor's footsteps and training in all the elements that will destroy him and we have been ambushed a couple of times but those were complete failures." Rovino was about to say something more but then stopped because he spotted a deer and that was the end of their conversation.
The next couple of days were pretty dull all the excitement was about the eggs and when they were going to hatch. Saneira Traisa and Siss mostly got to stay the eggs while Dragoune and Crosain hunt or trained together. But when they wanted to do something it was usually all three of them at the same time so they can talk about on how their eggs were doing.
"This morning I felt a kick in the green one." Saneira said excitedly to both Siss and Traisa.
"Really well I felt mine scrim in its egg." Traisa said
"We both did." Siss added they all talked about what the eggs did for quite a bit but then Saneira said.
"Don't you guys feel more restless when the days go by?" They both nodded their heads.
"But we cannot leave the eggs alone." Siss said
"We won't have to I have got an idea but I would like to tell Crosain and Dragoune to hear hit too." Saneira said
"Well what is it?" Traisa asked
"Why don't we put all our eggs together?" Saneira said but as soon as she said it the mother in her growled at the very idea of it and she saw that both of the mother snakes did not like the idea at all. Quickly she added.
"We could make a huge nest in the biggest part of the cave and at least two of us will be there to warm and protect them." Her mother side calmed down at that and she saw that they as well.
"It is a good idea but we should talk to Dragoune and Crosain about it." Traisa said
"I agree." Added Siss
"Well then it is settled we will talk to them and should have the decision by tomorrow." Said Saneira They headed for the cave after and had dinner in their rooms.
After Dragoune and Saneira had their fill Saneira told what she told Saneira and Siss.
"You want to do what?!?" Dragoune said amazed
"Like I said make a big nest in the biggest part of the cave and have all four eggs together." Saneira said simply.
"And Siss and Traisa are okay with this?" Dragoune asked
"Yes they are I already talked to them about this before I went to you. But if you think it is a bad idea I won't mind." Dragoune was thinking hard at first he thought that was a very bad idea because there was two ambushes near his cave, but then that was his instincts telling him that, those ambushes were not really that close and they miserably. Besides there was no real danger only a handful of their allies really knew their exact location and he knew that they will not betray him. So he took a deep breath calming himself and said.
"If that is what you want to do then I have no objections." Saneira kissed him on the cheek and said.
"Thank you." Dragoune kissed back. They were already in the nest all Dragoune had to do was get closer to Saneira and put his wing over her and the eggs.
"Good night my beautiful dragoness." Dragoune said
"Good night my black night." Saneira said. After a while Saneira had fallen asleep but Dragoune had a bit of a difficult time he could shake off his instincts as easily as Saneira about the whole nest thing and he had a bad feeling that something might happen.
The days past while Siss Traisa and Saneira worked on the big nest it did not take too long because all they had to do was combine their nests together. They did get more materials but that was for to get it more comfortable. When it was finished and all the eggs were together all three mothers could actually fit comfortably with their eggs. Even though Dragoune still had his instincts tell him that this is not a good idea he ignored them and it looked cute to see all three mothers close together. After a day later Saneira decided to be the first to watch all four eggs, with consenting with Siss and Traisa. But Dragoune that morning.
"I think you should let Siss and Traisa take over."
"Why?" asked Saneira her face expressionless. Dragoune tried to figure the right words so as not to scare her, finding none he decided with the straight truth.
"Ever since you asked me that question about the nest I kept on thinking something is going to happen."
"You wor-" she said but Dragoune stopped her.
"Saneira it was not just because me worrying, my instincts told me it was a bad idea." Saneira then looked down and was silent for a while. Then she spoke so softly that if it was not for Dragoune's good hearing he would have not caught it.
"I know that we have not been attacked recently, but the last was closer then the first." Again Saneira was silent, before she said anything Dragoune wrapped his arms and wings kissed Saneira and looked deeply into her eyes.
"I just want what's best for you and our eggs. If you think that this is a lot safer then I will not object to it." Dragoune said she nuzzled him and then rested her on her shoulder and he did the same they were like that for a while. When Saneira lifted her head she said to Dragoune.
"I truly believe that this better." With she kissed Dragoune and went into the room were the nest was. It took Dragoune quite a while to figure out if he did the right thing. He stood there fighting his instincts, they were telling him to take the eggs and Saneira and hide them. But he finally pushed them with great effort. He needed his head clear and being in the cave was not helping. He went out of his room running into Rovino.
"What's the rush?" Rovino asked
"I need to clear my head could you watch while I am gone." Dragoune was surprised to sound calm but Rovino's expression told him that his eyes were starting to red. He did not say anything but nodded his head and with that Dragoune left without another word.
After a couple hours Rovino needed to go quite badly so he told Saneira were he was going. He went about a few hundred feet from the cave so he could get some privacy. What he did not notice was a gryphon going into the cave.
Saneira heard someone come in.
"What back already?" she asked she was about to turn her head but someone knocked her out.
Some one then splashed cold water on her which woke her up. Her eyes were blurry and it took a while to clear them. The back of her head was throbbing but she did not really pay any attention to that because there was a strange gryphon holding one of her eggs. She growled deeply and was about to take a step forward, but the gryphon was holding it as though he was about to drop it.
"I would not do that if I were you. Now be good a little dragoness and tell me were I can find Dragoune." The gryphon said. Wanting to wait for the right moment to strike Saneira asked.
"Why do you need Dragoune?" She was curious as to why this gryphon would great lengths to find her mate but she never took her eyes off the egg."
"My master is quite interested him and would like to see him, but enough of this talk. I need to know where he is." Saneira knew all too well what he meant by 'master', increasing her worry for her egg and mate. Still not at the right time she said.
He must be out hunting but may be back any minute." As soon as she said this Rovino came in the cave, the gryphon turned around and this was Saneira's big chance. She came up to the gryphon bit him on the neck while grabbing her egg. Then she let go of his neck and went back to the nest egg in hand. Now from the gryphon's point nothing really happened. He did notice that the egg was gone though so when he turned around again to face Saneira. He never got half way because his insides felt that they were melting slowly, it was painful he fell to the ground screaming on the top of his lungs. But that soon stopped and he was lying on the ground dead.
"Must of put more venom then I thought." Saneira said to no one in particular she then saw that Rovino was dumbstruck of what just happened.
"I thought you were the second fastest of Marnex, did you not see me?" she said as though nothing had happened.
"I did see you but I did not know that you were venomous." He said
"I thought Dragoune told you that." As though his name made him come Dragoune was in the cave all swords out looking for enemies, when finding none and seeing a dead gryphon on the floor he asked.
"What happened here?" Saneira told what had happened and in the end she said.
"If it was not Rovino's good timing I would not been able to move." Because during the beginning, when she had said that Rovino let Dragoune was staring at him and not in a good way. When she finished Dragoune relaxed a bit and helped Rovino with the dead body. Dragoune then went into his room and closed the door.
The next day Dragoune kept to himself only coming out to eat or drink. He was not mad at anyone, he was mad at with himself not being forceful enough to make Saneira see that it was dangerous putting three nests into one. He was thinking it over when he heard someone say.
"Hi Drixin" quick as a flash his rage flared up and even faster he went out the door spotted Drixin and went after him. Just as he grabbed the gryphon's neck he heard both heard Saneira and Rovino say.
"Dragoune don't" But he was in a mindless rage and did not pay attention to them. When he was out of the cave he climbed into the air. Drixin could not fly because he was struggling with the claw on his throat. When they were a good height Dragoune held him at arms length, making him stare at his blood red pupiless eyes.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here. If you wish to be alive to see to tomorrow I suggest that you explain yourself and quickly too." Dragoune growled menacingly.
"I...knew...about the...gryphon, that...is...why...I... came here." Drixin said in between gasps. But this only made Dragoune even more angry, thus tightening his grip.
"Then why did you show him our hideout?" Dragoune roared by this time Drixin was having a very hard time to breath, he shook his head and said.
"After" even with Dragoune's inraged state he understood what he meant. He then let go of Drixin neck and flew them back down. Dragoune allowed the gryphon to rest, but when Drixin regained his breathing. Dragoune bent down so that the gryphon could see one of his red eyes and said in his lowest voice.
"If Volaxone is missing one hair of his pelt, you will not find any mercy from me." He then turned around and headed to the cave leaving Drixin alone.
When Dragoune got back to the cave his rage was down. Now that he was thinking clearly he knew he should not have done that to Drixin, but as he thought of him his rage to warm up again. He shook his head and went inside. The only one out was Crosain watching all four eggs. Dragoune knew that Crosain knew he was there but never looked up. This and the fact that he could scent the fear in the room reminded him of what he was like when his mother died. He vowed never to have his rage control him, but keeping all his troubles inside of him kept building up, and when Saneira's and one of his eggs life was in danger, while he was out, that released the monster inside of him. Quickly he went into his room only to find Saneira asleep. At first he was going to sleep at her side, but then stopped. Right now he did not feel like himself and felt as though he did not deserve to sleep with her. But before he went to sleep he kept on thinking on what he had done. He kept on seeing Drixin's shocked face when he attacked him and resented it. It took him a while to get to sleep but finally sleep came over him and so for the very first time in a long time he slept by himself.
end
Now we see a part of what Dragoune is capable of now since his rage is out of control. Will he be too dangerous when the eggs hatch? you shall see later. I can now finally promise that a yiffy scene is coming soon but that is all I am going to say to wet your appetites.
