    Summary

    When bandits threaten your village the town is forced to turn to the dragon living in the mountain for help. The best tribute to send a dragon has always been a beautiful maiden. Your name was the unlucky one chosen to climb the mountain and beseech the dragon for help in return for your life. Unbeknownst to you or anyone in the village, the rumored dragon is not what you were expecting. He's a man...partly. And he has no interest in eating you. If you remain in the mountain with him he'll protect your village. You agree.

    During your stay you embark on a journey as you get to know your new draconic master. He was not what you expected in so many ways and you find yourself facing forbidden desires and unforeseen bonds. He says that dragons do not love, but perhaps he is more human than he wants to be.

    Summary

    “You’re still here,” He breathed. He reached up to stroke your jaw as he usually did and you couldn’t help but bat your eyelashes and relish in his touch.

    “You shouldn’t have done that,” he said as he tilted your chin to gaze on him.
    “Why wouldn’t I?” You asked, confused.

    He started to chuckle as he pulled his hand away from you and instead rested it on your waist. Your skin prickled at the sensation of his warm hand on you, but you didn’t move it.

    “Because for dragons, tending to another’s wounds is part of our mating ritual… and you are making it very difficult for me to control myself,” he explained as his fingers tightened around your waist.

    This is loosely based off of the Sylus myth: Beyond Cloudfall. Its not 100% canon but, if you don’t want spoilers, do not continue!

    What would’ve really happened if Sylus trapped you in his cave of treasures?

    Summary

    You gasp for air, wincing as sharp stones prick at your bare feet. You’re scared to stop. Terrified of what could happen to you if you do. These people you’ve known your whole life, hellbent on “punishing” you, for something you have no control over.

    You trip over something. You’re not sure what, but you cut up your hands pretty bad trying to save your face from hitting the dirt. Or… what kind of rocks are these?

    You hold your breath. You listen. All you hear is the rapid thudding of your own heartbeat. No footsteps. No shouting.

    Are you… free?

    -

    OR

    You're a Chosen of Astra, given the rare privilege of seeing into the future. Except, you made a bad prediction and the city isn't too happy with you. But running away leads you straight into the Dragon's domain...

    Summary

    Formerly known as “The Dragon and The Sorceress”, I have renamed the story to fit the content better.

    Traumatized by Dragon Sylus’s death, the Sorceress intended to live out the rest of her life in solitary existence. Time’s labour was not in vain, immortality had erased much of her softness and humanity. Her fervor for magic was the only thing that kept her floating. What was she trying so hard to achieve? She no longer remembered.

    The Sorceress might have spent the remains of her days with her magic, but Fate loved an old trick. One day, a young, dark dragon showed up at her doorstep, bleeding and unconscious.

    The Dragon was distrusting and wary, eager to bargain his way out. But he had not always been like this. There was an insatiable desire in him that could never be fully fulfilled. As Fate brought the Dragon once again to the Sorceress, they embarked on a journey each seeking ghosts of their past. This time, would they be able to make their choices differently, and would it have mattered, even had they known differently?

    Summary

    You are the princess of Carpathia. Groomed for obedience, valued only as a pawn in your kingdom’s political games. Your future is not your own: a marriage arranged, a womb expected to produce heirs, your body treated like currency in the hands of powerful men. Suffocated by your life, you begin slipping away into the night, seeking freedom where no one would search for you.

    One evening, in the ruins of an abandoned cathedral, you meet Sylus...a being colder than death, with eyes like burning coals and a past steeped in mystery. What begins as fear becomes fascination, and through him, you discover that those who have no heartbeat love the deepest.

    And sometimes, the monsters we fear most prove more human than the ones who surround us.
