Dragons" Melancholic Song (Part 3)
Irina went downstairs, walking similarly to a zombie. Her mind was literally blank. All she could think of was Troy"s warm and soft hand that she touched in addition to his soft and blissfully warm lips. The thought of those things would trigger a surge of a warm liquid to course down her legs, and she would oddly feel empty, yet ecstatic. She"d have an unstoppable urge to stroke her thighs. Her clothes were merely her scales. She, therefore, was soon nude. She knelt down on the golden floor and desperately rubbed herself.
"What am I doing? What in the world am I doing?" Irina repeatedly asked herself.
Irina stopped wondering to herself and focused all her attention on making herself feel good. All she thought about was satisfying the empty feeling. She did it over and over again. Her pants echoed in the main hall.
"I"ve been an adult for so long, and it"s not my first time touching a man, either. Why do I crave him after our first time? Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel so empty?" Irina asked herself.
*Pant… Pant… Pant…*
The young girl knelt on the ground. She had lost count of how many times she did it. Her warm body liquid that contained an odd scent was flowing on the gold. The scent belonged to dragons. It was a scent that triggered a male dragon"s l.u.s.t, but the man with her at the moment wasn"t a dragon, yet she didn"t stop. She desperately told herself what she should do. She told herself to stop. She had no idea what she was doing, but she couldn"t stop. Her hands wouldn"t stop. She only stopped once she ran out of energy.
"Irina, what are you doing? Didn"t Mommy call you, why haven"t you come y-? What"s the matter?!"
Camille came up to Irina from behind. When she saw her daughter on the ground, she panicked and rushed over to help her up. She blankly looked at the tears and saliva on her daughter"s pretty face. She also saw the love hearts in her daughter"s eyes that had rolled back. She was shocked to see Irina"s body so hot and convulsing. Using a spell, Camille summoned a light to her hand that gradually calmed her daughter down.
"Mom…"
In a short moment, Irina"s quivering body recovered. The love hearts in her purple eyes gradually disappeared, and she resumed her normal self. It was akin to waking up from a dream. Irina"s gaze was filled with terror when she saw and thought about what she did. Scared, she curled up in her mother"s embrace. She trembled as she stammered, "Mom… Mom… What have I done…? What have I done…? Why did I do this…? Why did I do this…?"
Camille tightly hugged her daughter. Seeing her daughter"s reaction, she caressed her daughter. With a soft laugh, she explained, "It"s all right. It"s all right. This is normal. This is very normal. Did you touch him? He is a male dragon, so if you touch him, you will feel aroused. That"s perfectly normal. You"re at that age; or rather, you should"ve been at this age a long time ago, it"s just… It"s just that you never felt aroused, as there was no male dragon around you. He has the blood of a dragon flowing in him, which is why you had that feeling."
"Then, Mom… Mom… What do I do…? What do I do…? My mind is filled with thoughts of him…? I"ve become so strange… What exactly do I do…?"
Irina was on the verge of crying. She curled up in her mother"s arms as a child would. She was genuinely scared. She had never experienced the feeling before. Her body most definitely hadn"t undergone the change before. The strange change, especially in regards to her body, made her much more fearful. She had no idea what else would befall her besides the terrifying feeling. She wondered if she"d feel that way again. She wondered if she would enter that state again…
"What I did was unlike myself. It was crazy and infatuating, but it felt so good…" thought Irina.
"That"s just normal. It"s very normal. It"s necessary for us to reproduce. It"s your responsibility as a dragon. It"s normal for you to feel aroused. After all, he is the only male dragon here. While it"s impossible for him to transform into a dragon, and he can"t control his scales, he does have dragon blood flowing through him. I"m sure it"s the pure blood Sylvanas gave him. Irina, Irina, my dear daughter, Mommy has a husband and gave birth to you, so Mommy can"t do anything to this male dragon. That means this mission is in your hands. My dear daughter, it is, indeed, time for you to get married. You should have a child now."
"But… but… Mom… I… I" not… I"m…"
"No, no, it"s perfectly normal for you to feel aroused. This is perfectly normal. It"s what you should do," said Camille. She gently caressed her daughter and softly continued, "You responded to Troy, which means that you will feel aroused whenever you touch Troy in the future. You will feel the way you feel now. It"s agonising to resist this feeling. You"re not being given time to love freely now. Right now, you must fall in love for your body. Troy is the King of the North. Moreover, he is the Elven Prince, so he does share your origins to some degree. Plus, he is not bad looking. He is a handsome lad, so you are not losing out."
Irina was initially scared, but she was utterly shy and shocked after the fact. Mere hours ago, she didn"t think about marriage. All of a sudden, she was going to be marrying and conceiving the children of a man she had just met. Furthermore, he was man she once admired, King Troy, the man who conquered the North. That was nothing short of a dream to her.
"I… No… I… I don"t know… I have no idea… I… I have no idea what love is… I… To marry a man I have just met… This is too sudden… Additionally… additionally, he must be married. He wouldn"t marry me…"
Irina no longer knew what to say. Her mind was in utter disarray. As a matter of fact, it was worse than when her l.u.s.t took over her mind. At least, she knew what she wanted then.
Marrying Troy was too sudden for Irina. She had no idea how to respond. She didn"t hate Troy. In fact, she held him in high regard. It was Irina"s first time seeing a man from the outside. She wanted to see the outside world. The last days she spent with the elves was so long ago that she virtually couldn"t recall when that was. She could only imagine the elves silhouettes. The truth was that Irina was fond of that life. She was fond of bustling cities and crowds. She craved that life; she wanted to see more people and more of the world.
Fly as she may, though, all that was visible below was a forest. Below was forever a floor of trees. Irina could never see the border. The people around her were forever those she was familiar with. It was a peaceful lifestyle but somewhat despairing, as well. It meant that she got to live, but she would never feel any joy. She couldn"t experience the joy of living. All there was… was a dull life. Things had changed, however.
After meeting Troy, Irina experienced something new again after a long time. She was very eager to escape her mundane life. She wanted to know about the outside world. She wanted to know what happened out there. She finally had the chance learn about it. She had lots of things that she wanted to ask him. She had lots to ask and plenty that she wanted to know. The issue was she never expected that to happen.
Irina never thought about… marrying him… Marriage and giving birth were things she had never thought about. But nonetheless, the problem had landed in her lap.
Camille gently caressed her daughter. Next to her daughter"s ear, she quietly said, "Mommy didn"t say that you have to get married. You can choose not to get married. All you need is to have a child. It would be for the best if you could have several. You must ensure our dragon blood is pa.s.sed on. You must. You must ensure our blood is pa.s.sed on until our dragon race is revived. This man is the key to our revival, and so are you. Henceforth, you will be the mother of the dragon race when our descendants speak of you."
Irina became emotional. In a shaky voice, she replied, "What are you saying?!! I-I… I do not want that type of life… I am not a tool for conceiving children… I want to have my own lover… but… but not to conceive children. I want to love somebody, purely because I love him… I want… love…"
"You can love Troy…"
"Troy never said anything, though. He… he doesn"t know what happened, does he…? He doesn"t know, does he..? This is too abrupt… Not… not even we are clear…"
"He definitely will know, don"t you think so? Why would Sylvanas come here with a man if not to ensure our dragon race could reproduce? She"s unmistakably here to revive our dragon race. Needless to say, you aren"t a tool for conceiving children, but Troy is. We all want to see our dragon lineage be pa.s.sed down."
Camille stroked her daughter"s head, and then kissed Irina on her cheek. Her eyes were filled with delight as though she saw hope for new life. It would seem that Irina wasn"t the only one who gained the confidence to live, for her mother saw it as a possibility for the dragon race to reproduce…
"I… I… I shall do my best…"
