Vaestro and Anija just finished their act of romance, both of them laid on the bed, panting after the slow and gentle session, Anija was the one panting the most, she never knew what it felt like making love as a hen, until now. Vaestro, who just put his underwear and pants on, ran his hand down the scales of his dragoness, "Are you alright?" asked Vaestro with a tender smile, Anija slowly turned her head as she looked at him, "No, i feel great." said Anija as she smiled as well, a tear ran down her cheek in happiness, she was gonna be a mother, she was gonna bear Vaestro's children, she didn't care how many children she would give birth to or how painful giving birth would be, she wanted to have children, especially with her beloved rider.
Anija slowly got up as she put on her teddy, Vaestro just looked at the adorable angelic dragoness putting on her lingerie, since it was pretty hot outside, he decided to remain shirtless but to also have Anija's eyes constantly look at his muscular form, Anija already knew that Vaestro remained shirtless for that reason, but it still made her blush, Anija bit her scaly lips in frustration trying to look away from her rider's muscular frame.
Anija and Vaestro went to the living room, waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive as the two of them drank small cups of wine, while Anija also discussed with Vaestro about the many things she found out during her research. Eventually, the door suddenly opened, Anija jumped as she almost dropped the cup, Luka and the crew arrived, "Mission accomplished!" said Luka cheerfuly as the crew sat near Vaestro and Anija, as they discussed about the information they extracted.
"So, you all were caught out, but all of the soldiers were unloyal to the king and gave you the information willingly?" Asked Vaestro as he crossed his arms.
"Yep, at first we thought that it was just a lie to manipulate us, but the guards confirmed that it was true as they showed us the locations, never seen such unloyal citizens or soldiers in my life." Said Vrackie, as shi looked at Anija, "You look so beautiful as an anthropomorphic angelic dragoness!" said Vrackie, this made Anija blush in a cute manner as she healed Avelia's minor wounds.
While everyone was discussing, Karyu was looking through one of the windows of the living room, watching a lush green forest, he watched the wind blowing the branches around, some of the leaves even falling off, Luka started to get worried as she looked at her dragon who kept staring at the innocent looking sea of trees.
"Karyu, you've been staring that forest ever since we've gotten close to it, is there something wrong about it?" Asked Luka with a worried voice, this made Karyu quickly shake his head in a slow manner.
"No." Replied Karyu quickly, "There's something... Dark, and powerful coming from that forest." said Karyu, as he kept looking at it, Vaestro looked at his dragoness, "It could be an artifact." said Vaestro, he was replied by a quick nod from Anija as she went near Karyu, trying to determine if the power resonating from the forest was indeed of a magical nature.
"It is indeed of a magical nature." Confirmed Anija, "However, i can't determine if it's harmful." finished Anija, as she went back towards her rider, laying her head on his shoulder, looking as if she was about to fall asleep.
"Don't worry Karyu, we can check it out tommorow!" Said Avelia, although Avelia was right, Karyu felt as if that source of magic was calling for him, attempting to draw him to it.
Vaestro looked at his pocketwatch, "It's late, we should get some rest." he said, as he carried Anija like a princess to his bedroom, Avelia and Vrackie joined them as they both went to their bedroom, all of them except Karyu and Luka.
Luka went towards her dragon, running her hand down his vermilion scales, "Luka, my rider, that source of magic is calling for me." confessed Karyu, as he nuzzled Luka, who gave a sigh, "You can go check out the source." said Luka, "But please... Be careful." finished Luka, as she allowed her dragon to inspect the forest.
Karyu just left the kingdom, looking at the deep forest, with a determined look he went inside the forest, as he entered it, the magics exposed him.
