Dreading the Dragon (Closed Thread for intriguess and I)

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina struggled against the binds that held her as she was carried towards the Dragon's den. Somber villagers carried the large log that her body was chained too. She pleaded with them, struggling against bonds that she knew she could never break. "Please! Don't do this! You don't need to do this!"

She grew quiet for a moment as she looked upon the town. It was so small when seen from the mountains, but it was obviously destroyed. The Dragon had arrived days before and had reeked it's havoc upon the village. Luckily few had died as a messenger of the King came to tell them that the Red Dragon Lalhuroch was heading in this very direction.

They consulted the wise woman after Lalhuroch had made it's entrance and decimated everything they had built. The wise woman had only one answer, and that was that a virgin had to be sacrificed in order to sate the Dragon's hunger for destruction and death. They choose the virgin by lottery, and the other girls were obviously relieved that they would not suffer this terrible but necessary fate.

They had bathed her and purified her with oils and lotions before dressing her in the most extravagant funerary dress. They then cut down the largest tree they could find in the northern forest, chaining her to it before carrying it to the Dragon's new lair. Here they sit it down, propping it up with ropes and stakes. They then began setting the bait.

A small goat was led ahead of Sarina and quickly gutted, they then placed it on a spit and began to roast it. The smell of roasted meat wafted into the dark tunnel of the Dragon's domain and the villagers said their prayers to god and they thanked Sarina for this imposed sacrifice before fleeing for their lives off of the mountain.

Sarina began to sobb, wiping her tears with her shackled hand before looking up. Smoke began to drift out of the black portal, and loud thumps grew louder and stronger as the beast grew closer. She whimpered, struggling harder then ever before against her bonds as she heard the dragon grow inexorably towards it's prize.

Red Dragon Lalhuroch

The dragon had settled on a nice little cave and after destroying a pathetic village that was too close for it's liking had settled down for a nice nap. Lalhuroch considered itself a beautiful red dragon, with scales the color of fresh blood, and eyes that glittered like emeralds. It had it's share of blood and emeralds and had finally snuggled down in a pile of gold as it was entering it's time to propagate.

Then there was smoke, and puny human voices. Lal slithered out to see a nice goat roasting and decided against blasting the puny humans with it's fiery breath. It devoured the offering in one bite. Then it noticed the struggling human, who was tied to some sort of stake. Lal laughed, the roar frightening to all who heard it, "You are too scrawny too eat." Lal noticed the fear in the young woman and could almost taste the fear as her eyes widened as it spoke to her.

"I suppose if I send you back they will just send another," Lal sighed. It was time to nest and the longer the dragon thought about it the more it decided that the puny human might be worth keeping. Lal snorted and little flames danced out, catching the poor girls dress on fire.

Lal noticed her frantic struggles and took a long slow breath extinguishing the flames, noticing that the garment was pretty much useless now. Lal swiped a single claw and the garment fluttered to the ground revealing the maiden in her natural state. The dragon chuckled again as the poor thing trembled with fear, and it uttered a strange word and suddenly she was motionless unable to move.

Lal roared, "I am content with this sacrifice, you may rebuild one day's travel from my lair." The roar was barely intelligable to the people below but they knew they were safe as the sacrifice was pulled into the dark cave.

Lal used its tail to wrap around the stick and pull her into the cave. A few slashes with its talons and the young woman was no longer bound to the stick. Lal broke the stick in pieces with a smash of it's tail and focused its eyes on the girl. Her skin was covered in some wierd sticky substance, and the ashes of her garment were sticking to her.

Lal spoke another word, releasing the paralysis and enjoyed her fear. Lal reached out with its long red tongue and began licking the young girl clean.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

Sarina screamed in fear as she was carried into the creature's cave, and then looked beyond terror as this creature began to lick her. She couldn't stand it. What was this creature doing? Was it trying to get a taste for her? She didn't want to be some treat for it to torture. She wouldn't.

She quickly got up, running towards the cave entrance, closing her eyes and telling herself to not looking behind. But she could hear the dragon's anger as it's new toy tried to flee. With those eyes closed she didn't notice an abrupt change in the ground which caused her to trip, hitting the floor hard. She let out a sorrowful groan and turned to watch the dragon move towards her.

With the daylight shinning in through the cave's opening, the Dragon could see it's sacrifice easier. For a human woman she was gifted in all the right places, with wonderful curves and a smooth body, well, smooth until it was covered in slime and ash. She had shiny, golden, blond hair that was wavy and full. And enchanting blue eyes, eyes that now held only fear and terror as the Dragon closed in on her. "Please! Don't eat me! I beg of you!"

 

[intriguess]

Red Dragon Lalhuroch

The dragon chuckled as it reached out to secure it's victim. Lal's chuckle sounded more like a roar to any human and as it finally stopped laughing it loked more closely as the soft female body. The young thing was rather attractive, all the more suiting to be a sacrifice. Lal was enjoying her fear for the moment and quieted her voice to a mere rumble, "You are too soft for my tastes, I will not eat you today." Lal paused watching as the young woman realized that the dragon had only given her safety for the day.

"You have no where to go Little One, so let me clean you up. I will not have some filthy human in my lair." Lal had no chains to secure her with and did not wish to transport her to a more secure location until she was clean, so he moved to block the entrance, spoke a spidery word that made the cave glow with an unnatural light. Finally satisfied the dragon went back to licking the young woman's body. It was unsure what to do with her hair, it was too beautiful to cut, and decided one of the many golden combs in it's treasury would work.

Finally after the poor thing stopped struggling Lal had cleaned her completely. Lal roared and moved so that the entrance was clear and breathed fire out the opening. The surface was now too hot for the girl to walk on and it had gotten that smokey taste out of it's mouth. Lal licked her teeth, aware of how it looked to the pretty human.

"You can call me Master," Lal intoned as it swept its tail and pushed the young woman closer to its body. "You are mine now, do you understand?" Lal knew the dragon fear would overwhelm her for a time but eventually she would grow used to the prickling sensation of danger.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She slowly gave in and stopped her useless struggling, laying back and allowing the creature to clean her. She closed her eyes, trying not to think about it but it was useless. This creature wasn't going to eat her, yet. And it would hold that over her, reveling in her terror.

She gasped as the Dragon pulled her close to it and she slowly looked up. As it intoned that it was her Master she could only nod. As the fear began to slowly subside she now noticed how huge and magnificent this creature was. In all her life, she had never felt so insignificant compared to this creature who had existed for centuries. As it told her she was it's she was forced to nod and reply with a lowered head, "Yes, Master."

She was still so frightened, forced to press herself to this creature who would devour her at any moment if it truly wanted to. All she had been through quickly sank in and she began to sob, her legs weakening. She wrapped her arms around herself, praying to her human god that this beast would not torture and devour her.

Red Dragon Lalhuroch

Dragons so seldom cry that it was thought they had no tear ducts. In fact dragons can cry, the just prefer to do so in private. Having the young human breka out in tears was rather distressing and Lal wrapping its tail around her attempting to be soothing, but undoubtedly having the reverse affect.

Lal was after all about to become a parent and this was it's chosen nesting site as the underground caverns were nice and warm. Lal finally decided the human was too emotional to be awake during transport and spoke a spidery word and watched as the pretty things body went limp.

Lal cradled her against it's massive body and slithered down until it reach the open area. Lal stretched its wings and flew downward until it reached one of the many caverns it had developed over the centuries. There was glowing moss, and a source of water. Lal kept only a few trinkets here and laid the girl down on a soft fur. Lal stretched and laid on its side, tenderly it picked up a shiny comb and pulling the young woman next to it's massive body began combing her hair and humming. Allowing the spell to naturally fade away, Lal noticed she was amazingly pretty for a human and thought of all the ways she would be useful.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

Sarina's eyes slowly opened after her magic sleep, she felt a bit better though that sleep did not last long. She rolled over, pressing her self to those thick scales for warmth. Scales? Sarina rubbed her blurry eyes and gasped, moving back as she stared at the Dragon. She tried to calm herself this time, resting a hand on her chest to sooth her beating heart.

She would lay still, letting the Dragon comb her hair as she watched it. She had to do something, unsure of why the Dragon had decided to tend to her golden tresses. "M.. Master?" The word tasted like bitter ashes on her tongue, "What do you.. plan to do with me..?" Though she had the courage to speak to this thing, she was by no means unafraid. She couldn't understand the alien thoughts of a dragon and didn't claim to.

 

[intriguess]

Lal smiled, which for a dragon was a awesome display of sharp teeth, "You do not need to know my plans, merely tend to my needs and obey my commands." Lal stretched out after stopping combing the lovely human's hair. "If you try to escape or take any of my treasure you will be destroyed. I have little tolerance for disobedience." Lal thrashed its tail as if to make its point clear, and let smoke curl from it's nostrils. "If you are obedient, you will find my rewards," Lal paused dramatically, "Lavish."

Lal eyed the young girl and continued, "Do you have a name?" Lal was hoping the human would adjust as Lal had things to do and prefered to bend the young one to its will rather than subjugate it.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She flinched when the dragon thrashed it's tail to warn her and she nodded quickly, "No, I won't.. d.. disobey, Master." She looked down, sighing heavily and pushing herself up onto her knees before trying to cover herself with her hands and arms. She felt so lonely, and every moment she had to call this Dragon her Master it tasted like acid in her mouth. She had never felt so hopelessly bound and chained before.

As the Dragon asked for her name she looked up and nodded. "Y.. yes, Master. It's Sarina.. Would.. would you tell me your name, Master?" She couldn't possibly imagine what this beast had in store for her, what could it want from her besides being a meal? The thoughts drilled at her, not letting her be at peace with their tenacious inquisitiveness.

 

[intriguess]

"You are not a meal, so stop acting like I'm going to eat you. It's rather annoying." Lal brought it's head down to look at the soft human and without blinking inspected her body. "Humans call me Lalhuroch, or if you prefer Lal will work. You should count your blessings that I don't want to eat you. You will do what I ask, simple things that someone your size can do in order to allow me more time to do what I want to." Lal was not ready to reveal its state of gravidity just yet.

"I shall not be leaving my cave for quite some time and will want you to scrub my scales daily. I don't need to eat daily, but a snack every month or so would be nice." Lal smiled again displaying sharp teeth, "You appear sufficient for my other needs as well. Of course to deny me anything is to suffer my wrath." Lal stretched and yawned showing off it's size and teeth.

"Are you cold? I can move you to chambers that are warmer." Lal noticed Sarina's pathetic attempt to cover herself. "I have no need for garments and silk is too fragile so you will find no clothing among my treasures."

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She moved closer, nodding quickly at the thought of some warmth. "Yes, please, Master, that would be wonderful." She also tried to keep her fear pressed down, not wanting to spark an already short fuse. She tried to smile, resting her hands on her Master. "Yes, I will do anything you ask, Master."

She sighed softly, looking down as she tried to contemplate her predicament. If she served the Dragon, and did as it required, she would be safe. But she had a chance to be free, but how easily could the Dragon find her and seek it's revenge? She decided that a subservient life was better then no life at all and so she gave up her pride and let the Dragon win with a downward gaze.

"Master.. May I ask why you will be staying in the caves for this time?"

 

[intriguess]

Lal

"You may me anything, I do not however have to answer. It will become clear in time," Lal scooped up the human and swept out of the small cave and into the venting shaft. Lal lazily circled lower to a warmer and much larger cave, littered with golden baubles, armor, jewels, pearls, and other such treasures. There was a undrground stream and the floor was sandy in several areas. The room was surprisingly warm and well lit.

"Be careful what you touch, there are several magical artifacts that are not to be handled lightly." Lal released the young woman and yawned again. "There is no way out unless you can fly, so feel free to explore." The dragon smiled again, enjoying the way she was inquisitive yet subservient. "There is a vareity of vegetation growing throughout this cavern system and several small creatures should you need to eat."

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She gasped as she was picked up and flown away in the Dragon's grip. The feeling of weightlessness was euphoric and it took her breath away. But it was all too quickly ended. She nodded as her Master commanded her and told her what she should do. As soon as he let go of her she headed away and began to explore this new area.

And as her stomach growled she knew that she needed something to eat. She continued to explore until coming across the vegetation her Master spoke of. She picked some choice items, things that seemed healthy or at least slightly healthy. She knelt down, quickly devouring the vegetables until she felt full. She then took a rock and bashed several small furry animals of their life.

With that she carried the small corpses with her back to her Master, placing them down infront of it. "Master, please.. accept these? These are the only animals I could find. They are small but.. I hope they might fufill your hungers.." She looked down and waited quietly for it's response.

 

[intriguess]

Lal

Lal had rested for what seemed like a moment to a long lived dragon, but several hours had passed. It opened it's eyes amused at the offer of the small furry things. They were undoubtedly more bone and fur than meat, and Lal rolled over scrathing its back against the sand before returning to sitting.

The dragon had a cooking pit for when it felt like something less bloody and with a practiced breath started a fire. "I'm not hungry right now, you can cook them for yourself." Lal's tail rummaged through the golden treasure and pulled out a travellers backpack with all sorts of cooking utensils still attached. "Feel free to make use of this, its previous owner no longer needs it." The dragon stretched feeling the time would come all too soon and wanted the human fairly settled in before then.

The dragon knew there were weapons among it's treasures and knew that it would take extreme luck on the tiny humans part to wield one, and even more luck to do any real damage. Lal doubted anything like that would happen, and intended to keep an close eye on the human just in case.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She nodded and bowed her head, "Thank you for your generosity, Master." She gladly accepted his gift and began to cook the small creatures over the fire. She was also happy to be closer to the warmth of the fire. She sighed and shivered as the cold of the last room left her body and she was able to sit in quiet contemplation as she cooked her dinner.

Sarina wasn't entirely sure what this life held for her. She assumed she could find some bit of happiness but even then she wasn't sure. This was a life of thankless servitude, she would find no gratitude from her new Master, nor any caring in his eyes. Lalhuroch would use her for gathering what it desired and not shed a tear once she died of old age.

She bit her lip, shaking her head and trying to force the thoughts out. If an opportunity to escape appeared she would take it. Until than she would have to be her Master's faithful servant.

 

[intriguess]

Lal

Humans were a puzzle to Lal, like dragons each had their own motivations and desires, but their emotional complexity had taken decades to fully grasp. Dragons lived so long that the little things quickly faded from importance. Even human life seemed all too short to really grasp who a person was. Lal had many experiences with humans over the centuries, warriors, mages, thieves, and some other poor souls. It figured human life was short enough without killing them, so Lal preferred to let them live as long as they left Lal alone.

Lal had had friends among the humans before and found such relationships rewarding even if for such a brief span of years. It hoped that Sarina might come to think of it as a friend rather than just her Master. Lal yawned, stretched, and glanced over at the young woman. "You would be warmer to sleep against me, despite the rumors, we dragons have very hot blood." Lal smiled, and closed the massive green eyes, keeping alert to every move Sarina made.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She nodded slowly as her Master spoke to her, and she placed the cooked animals into the bag he had given her. She then made her way to the Dragon, taking a deep breath before speaking, "As you wish, Master." She then pressed herself up against him. Sighing a bit as she realized how warm it was. She had always enjoyed the warmth, it made her feel surrounded by something more, made her feel less lonely then she really was.

She closed her eyes and rested on it's strong form, her hand idly running over the smooth scales of it's stomach. "Master.. will.. will I ever be able to go outside again? I fear that I might go mad if I never see the blue skies again." She looked up at her massive master Lalhuroch and genuinely smiled. "Do you find the outside beautiful, Master..?"

 

[intriguess]

Lal

"We dragons are creatures of the skies, flying is something we all inherently enjoy." Lal thought of when it would be possible to take the young human out flying, probably after the eggs were birthed, which could happen any day now. After that Lal could also shape change and the dragon yawned. "I'm not found of snow, perhaps in the Spring I will trust you to take you on an outing." The dragon thought of a nice remote spring that would melt into a cool pool to splash around in come Spring.

"There are things that will keep me inside until then, hopefully the time will pass quickly for both of us."

Lal curled its massive body slightly around the small female, making an effort to not crush her or suffocate her.

"Peaceful dreams, my pet."

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

She nodded slowly, listening intently to her Master, "I would love to go flying with you, Master.. it sounds wonderful." She frowned a bit as her Master hinted at why it couldn't leave but it never would tell her. "I wish you would tell me why you must stay here, Master. But.. I understand that you can't trust me.."As Lal curled around her she sighed, feeling it's strong, scaled, arms rest over her.

She closed her eyes and nodded, "Peaceful dreams to you as well, Master." She held tightly to it, feeling a bit more content with her life as she knew she would not always be cramped in these caverns. And as she fell asleep, she dreamed of the open expanse of the sky as she rode atop Lalhuroch. She was unsure what it felt like to fly through the air, but if Dragons enjoyed it then it must be a wonderful sensation.

 

[intriguess]

Typically Lal slept for days at a time but the sudden warm ache made it realize it was time. The dragon doubted that it could move without rousing the human and decided that if Sarina choose to watch, well then so be it. Lal felt incredible ungraceful as it waddled down to the hot sandy pit in the corner. Dragon reproduction was a complicated thing as dragons were both male and female. It was why they found humans and their troubles due to gender so amusing. The eggs however would not be clones of Lal as it was nearly impossible to impregnate oneself. No, her eggs were fertilized over the course of a decade by several passionate pairings. Lal had lost track of other dragons in the last century and now her eggs were ready to be laid.

Lal used her tail to create a shallow area in the sand and moved to squat over the area. When Lal sat up it was clear that its body was swollen with eggs. Lal would clutch anywhere between 5 and 25 eggs which would hatch in about a century if all went well. Lal no longer paid any attention to her human companion as her body began its work.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

Sarina stood up after Lal moved and she followed her Master. She watched it waddle over to the sandy pit and squat. It was then that she noticed the swollen shapes, "Eggs..?" She watched quietly, sitting down and watching before looking up at Lalhuroch. "Master, you are laying eggs? That is why you couldn't leave."

She frowned a bit as she realized the Dragon was ignoring her, but it was probably far too busy with the task at hand. She decided that after Lalhuroch had laid her eggs, she would probably be exhausted and tired. And so Sarina set about the task of finding some food for her Master before it finished laying it's eggs.

 

[intriguess]

Lal took a deep breath as it laid it's last egg, she took a few steps away to lie down and counted the large slimy eggs. Seventeen in all, not a bad clutch she thought as she looked around noticing the human was out of sight for the moment. The eggs would need monitoring for the first few months and then just needed to be kept warm. Lal used its tail to snuggle them into the sand, half burying them as it yawned. Lal was thirsty and debated heading for the underground stream, when the human returned. Lal felt a strange yearning as the naked woman approached and growled at the feeling. Lal had forgotten that once her eggs were laid her desire to mate would return in full force. It took only a few sniffs to confirm that the young female was fertile. Lal stretched, perhaps the young human would come in handy in more ways than previously thought. Lal's cock was already emerging as the rush of blood that assisted in birthing flooded the shaft. Normally it remained hidden unless the dragon was quite aroused. Lal stretched out, letting Sarina see the smooth red shaft of flesh that extended outward between Lal's legs.

"I shall have to remain with my eggs for some time, I chose this cave a long time ago for this purpose."

Lal noticed the food and licked it teeth, once again scenting the young womans body. Lal growled softly and felt it's cock continuing to harden. "Don't worry they won't be born in your lifetime."

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

Sarina looked up from the fire where she was cooking the large animal. She blinked and then gasped with fright and suprise as she saw that enormous red shaft. She wondered why the dragon was revealing it's gigantic sex organ like this but guessed it was just an effect of laying the eggs. "Master, would you like this meat that I have cooked?"

She picked it up and carried it to her, setting it down slowly as she looked at her warily. "Now what do you do after you've had your eggs, Master?" She tried to smile, now that her Master no longer had to carry it's eggs, she would be able to fly again. "Umm.. Master, may I ask why you're.. is.. umm.. showing?"

 

[intriguess]

Lal

The great red dragon stretched feeling it's body recooperating from birth. It would be a while before the dragon would be comfortable flying any distance. Lal sampled the cooked meat, taking some choice parts before stretching more. "I'm rather thirsty and tired, so I shall head for the underground Spring as soon as I've stretched a bit. They eggs will need to be kept warm so I will need to stay closeby for a while." Lal stretched feeling the slight changes in its body. Lal followed the humans stare to its cock, noticing that despite Lal being a large dragon the shaft was disportionate to its total size, being perhaps as thick as Sarina's wrist at the base and as long as her forearm. "My what?" Lal opted to seem oblivious as it gauged the female's reaction. The dragon's birthing canal was tender and slick from laying the eggs, the soft slippery flesh pulsing with blood.

Sarina's scent was intriguing a mix of fear and sexual heat. Lal doubted humans even had the olfactory senses to pick up such subtle signals.

 

[BriefcaseRonin]

Sarina

"Your... your.." She closed her eyes, her cheeks flush as she spoke the embarrasing words, "your penis, Master." She glanced back up, unable to help but notice the slippery, wet, birthing canal also. She moved closer, unsure as to why her Master had no clue what it's own penis was. "Dragons are.. male and female, Master? I did not know.."She nodded as her Master mentioned it was thirsty and cursed herself for forgetting about water.

She then slowly moved to a small spot that seemed comfortable to sit down on. She looked up at her Master, smiling a bit and trying to ignore the large shaft. "As you wish, Master. I.. I shall wait here until you return." She blushed when her Master wasn't looking. Something about that draconic manhood was obviously frightening but it was amazing, exciting almost. And she had to curse herself for even having the smallest hint of an impure thought, "For shame, Sarina.. such a thing to think about.."
