2024-10-29 19:42:56When Anika finished her shower, there was a red blouse and white skirt wait waiting for her. “Hu.” She smirked. “Alright, I think I can pull that off. I really need to find my own personal staff.”
She made her way out into the hall and flagged down a servant. “Please have a car made ready. I need to be a Fire Dragon Corporperation shortly. Also, please have the staff keep me informed. Any changes with Alexa or Andrew, alert me at once.”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Also, where is Keira?”
“She called and said she will be arriving in town shortly.” the servant replied.
“Have her get situated at my mansion and then meet me at the office.”
“Of course miss.”
An hour later, Anika was walking into the Fire Dragon Corporation tower. A guard at the front stopped her. “Which floor miss.”

Alexa held on to Raya’s silvery scales and the spikes on her back as they flew over desert sands. The world Raya had created was vast. “Raya, are those mountains somewhere I would know?” “Perhaps. You were found in the mountains north of Warrington. I believe Andrew calls those the Corrán Tuathail mountains. The great desert below us being the Hadrac desert.” They were hundreds of miles, if not thousands of miles from Durres then! Below she saw a huge pit open up at the edge of the desert, right at the root of the mountains. “The pit… of despair?” she asked skeptically. “careful, young skeptic, the mince worms there will peal flesh from bone. It is a good proving ground. It is also one of the reasons the empire has been hesitant to use that route to attack Dragard. The natural enemies found along this route make crossing perilous in the best of times
Civilian Dragon lord p2 Chapter 7: Raya's lab
Raya allowed Alexa to mount up and she scoped Andrew up in a taloned foot before launching into the air again. When they turned toward the mountains, Alexa asked, “Where is this temple of fire?”“Deep in the Dragfir mountains, behind what you all call the Dragon’s lair, there once was a fire mountain. It has been dormant for many millennia now and its peak long since settled back among the other mountains.”The flight that should have taken days seemed to only take minutes in this subconscious world. Soon Alexa saw coastline that looked similar to that of Durres, but lacked the now familiar buildings of the port city.“Durres?”‘What it once was, before the dawn of Dragard, and before the dawn of men in this area.’ Raya replied.Raya came in for a landing on a snow capped

Alexa wanted to kill Raya. Her world was swirling again as she touched Andrew. This time when she came to, she was in a forest, with high mountains all around her. She looked around at the flat circle of land and realized, there was no way out of this valley except over the impossible cliffs miles above her. Even the sun had a hard time reaching over those peaks. As the world came into focus, the edges of her forest glen began to rustle with life. Animals of every kind lined the edges. There were large cats prowling beside huge bears. Birds of pray circled and dove toward her head. At the far end of the arena, as she supposed this area was, caves opened out of the cliff side. Ten of the caves showed movement and soon a rainbow of color burst forth as dragons of every color came forth. The largest, a gold dragon bellowed a roar that shook the foundations of the mountain. The whole area grew silent. A brilliant red stood to its left an

Alexa sat on a leather sofa waiting on Anika and Andrew. She looked around and realized they designers had made this into a huge library. Books lined the shelves from floor to ceiling. It was amazing to see so many books. When she had lived at the monastery, they had a lot of books, but not this many. She wondered where the servants had found them all. Had they raided local shops and stores for all of them?Anika and Andrew finally came out. Alexa felt a pang of jealousy when she realized Anika’s hair was wet as well. That explained the time anyway.“Ah, Alexa. Hope we didn’t keep you waiting too long. Oh, we have good news! First, the assassin was found, dead.”“Shame we cannot question him.” Alexa replied.“True. I have several creative methods I would have liked to have used on him. but it is what it is. That Landry fellow

Alexa sat on the sofa for a few minutes before asking a servant, “Is there a training hall?”“Of course miss. This way.” The servant led her down a hall near the bedrooms and into a huge exhibit room. the walls were lined with all manner of weapons. There were different size arenas with padded floors in every corner. She found a stave and took aim at a practice dummy. She began beating on it, feeling she was the dummy for even considering wanting Andrew.‘Odd jealousy for a young dragoness’ came a now familiar mental voice.“Raya?” she realized she still wore the medallion and had not given it back. She wondered if Andrew would come for it soon.‘Make him earn it if he wants it back.’ Suggested Raya.Alexa grinned to herself. Andrew may have trained in the dream world, but she would not be opposed to training more with him now. His daily training over the past few months

The next day, Alexa accompanied Andrew to the training ground. The men were downcast when they first saw Alexa. Several had seen the state Andrew was in and some had even doubted he would make it. For a normal person, such an attack could easily have killed them or made them permanently maimed. Seeing Alexa meant more hard training while they waited for news.As Andrew exited the car behind her though, there was a cheer from the men. Everyone was excited to see Andrew back on his feet.“Thank you, thank you all. For now, I am going to increase Alexa’s responsibility. She is going to be working harder on you all as we work to increase security around town.”A round of cheers met this. the men had a love hate relationship with Alexa’s training. They had taken a good break from her brand of torture while she was on tour with the Dragoness, but they were eager to see how they would do now.Andrew looked at Alexa, “show them

When the three were on the cargo plan heading the three hours to Ashai, Anika broke the silence.“Andrew, we are heading to Ashai. Your, umm, ‘ex’ isn’t going to be an issue is she?”“SHIT.” Andrew said, burrowing his face in his hands. “I had forgetting about that little twit.”“There is some talk that she may have had something to do with your assassination attempt.” Anika said.“I don’t think she is that stupid.”“You did try, simi successfully to convince her that the other fellow, Landry, was actually her intended. If she feels scorned by you… is there really any limit to what she might try? We saw what she was capable of with Roisin and Alexa.”“Well it will be a fine time to impress upon her father the seriousness of the situation. Perhaps after we handle Nash’s issue we will stop in on them on the way back.”

Alexa followed Andrew and Anika into the command bunker. Men in uniform rushed past in every direction. “Nash!” Andrew called out. “Here!” Alexa recognized the man from the rescue mission that had saved her from the commander. He was in a much more formal green uniform and was pouring over maps on a large table. He looked up when Andrew called out and broke out in a large smile. “Ah Andrew! Glad you are here. Anika! Sorry this reunion is not under better circumstances.” Anika smirked at him, pressing a manual into his chest, “Nash, you need to have your manuals rewritten. Your guardsmen think that only those of O-3 clearance are allowed in here.” “Hu? O-3 and above right?” “No, he said just O-3” Nash flipped though the manual and cursed. He grabbed a passing officer, “Rewrite the dam manual for the guardsmen. Make sure it says those of rank and above have clearance to various installations. Make sure its proofread this

Andrew led the way as they headed back toward the great hall. “Come, it is time to return to Durres.” As they passed into the grand hall, Alexa let out a shocked squeak as two men grabbed her arms from either side. Anika and Andrew spun back to her and Anika drew a dagger. Conner’s two younger brothers held Alexa. “Lookie what we found. A murderous little bitch.” Lord Devos stepped out of the shadows then with a man that Alexa felt bore a striking resemblance to lieutenant Tannis. “Ah, goddess Anika, you saved me a lot of trouble bringing this traitor to me. I thank you. the Praetorian guard has already been summoned. After all, the death of the son of Senator Palmos cannot hardly be overlooked.” “Lord Governor Devos, you will release Alexa now. If you don’t, you will find I am far more than you can afford to offend.” Andrew said coldly. “Son, don’t play here.” Governor Devos said, snapping his fingers. Twenty home guard stepped out of the shadows and surrounded them. General Ezra

P2 Chapter 24: Sign the papers
Alexa marveled at the militaristic atmosphere as they entered the palace of Devos Mansion. There were guards stationed at the entrance who bowed respectfully as their badges automatically lifted the gate without the guard needing to activate it.When they arrived at the front doors of the castle, six guards came to the side of the car and stood at attention. They exited the car and Anika led the way into the grand hall.“Seems they might have expected us.” Anika said softly as Alexa took in the numerous guards who lines the alcoves of the grand hall. Many were hidden in shadow and if her keen hearing had not detected their breathing, or the subtle expansion of their chests against taught leather and breast plates, she likely would have assumed they were statues. At the far end, a throne sat empty. A steward stood off to the side and raised his voice.“The Red Dragon, Anika Archeron and company.”Nothing happened, and the room fell eerily silent.“Are the devos not in?” Anika asked A

P2 chapter 23: Regrets
The ride to Kaibain started out quiet. Alexa stared out the window, lost in thought. The realization that she had killed one of their own soldiers over a stupid argument galled her. Raya joined her thoughts, ‘He pulled a weapon on of god of war. That is tantamount to treason.’ ‘He didn’t know I was a god of war. You only just made that appointment. I don’t wear any insignia, nor am I even in this army.’ ‘Alexa, you are my warrior. You were there under Andrew’s command, with Anika, Nash, and the rest. Everyone of them is a known god of war and every member of the dragon squad outranked that pissant. That is over 1000 soldiers from across the land that are KNOWN to outrank him. no one travels in the company of the gods of war without outranking that traitor. He still chose not only to disrespect you but to pull a weapon on you. He disobeyed a direct order from the supreme commander, and chose to use deadly force on a higher ranking office

Alexa unstrapped her blade and handed it to Andrew. Her wolf, Cole had been his name before he took on the designation of #2, handed over several blades as well. Nash checked the other soldiers to make sure they were not hiding any weapons.Satisfied, Andrew glared at Tannis, but opted to let Alexa fix this herself. “Winner gets the title and honor. Loser is demoted. No weapons. Submission wins. BEGIN!”The word begin had barely left Andrew’s lips when Alexa and Cole exploded. Alexa’s black hair billowed in the wind and she rushed forward, and then Cole powered before Her, arm out stretched. She caught hold of his arm and he swung her, tripling her speed and he added every bit of momentum he could to her flight. Alexa rocketed at the soldiers and flipped into a feet first attack at the last second, crashing into two soldier’s mid sections. They were rendered unconscious as they flew back, smashing into the side of a transport truck, the wi

“Alexa, Raya has bestowed this upon you. You are now officially one of us. As far as the king is concerned.. Meh, he does not need to know. However, I have the ability to now grant you full authority as a god of war. You will not be subject to any authority except mine and Raya’s, and with this rank, you also now have authority second only to mine and the other gods of war.”Alexa blanched, realizing just what was being bestowed upon her. “Are you sure?”“It is not up to me. This is Raya.” He said calmly. “Now, It is time we get back to our own tasks in Durres. There is still plenty left undone there, and sadly we have new business to attend.”Alexa remembered her dead wolves and nodded.“Go ahead and load up. I will be out with Anika shortly.”Alexa headed out, flanked as soon as she left the meeting hall by several wolves who had been waiting outside the doors.When th

Alexa’s eye’s opened to light streaming into her eyes. Pain radiated around her neck. The light moved away and was replaced by Anika’s face.“Lay still, Alexa. Your windpipe is damaged, but you will be fine. Likely just some bruising. Here, I am going to help you swallow this pill.” Anika gently helped her open her mouth, which sent spasms of pain along her jaw. The pill dissolved instantly when it hit her tongue. She closed her eyes as the pill did its work.When she opened her eyes again, it was to the gentle rays of dawn peaking over the lake. They had moved her to the shore and had packed sleeping bags around her. Her neck felt stiff and when she reached up, she felt the rigid frame of a brace around her neck. Anika’s face loomed over head then.“Hey, sleepy head. Don’t try to talk, try squeeze my fingers to answer me.” Anika held out two fingers. Alexa obeyed. “Now, Are you hurting?”A

p2 chapter 19: The Commander
Howls erupted around her as Alexa’s wolves went battle mad. The sound aroused a spark of consciousness. Raya was screaming in her mind as silverly wings enveloped her mind. Alexa’s eyes flashed with defiance as she reached up and gripped the flat top of bloodbane. Any mortal that tried this would be sliced or simply have the blade moved down out of their grip. Alexa’s grip however, viced onto the blade so tight, its motion toward her neck halted completely.The commander looked at her, shocked. Clearly he had intended on placing the blade flat against his fist and pushing it away from him, across the top of his hand, taking alexa’s head off in the process. He had maneuvered the blade a bit slowly. Perhaps out of caution, knowing its deadly power, or perhaps due to bloodloss. Either way, the blade was now frozen, inches from Alexa’s neck. She still dangled in the air, legs suspended by his massive grip but her defiant eyes were not dying like they

Alexa walked along the cliff face, glancing over her shoulder at the rock debris that covered the cave entrance. Her stomach roiled as she thought about the wolf that she had lost. She vowed to visit his family and ensure Andrew and Anika would take care of the family from now on. Lost in thought she didn’t see the crack in the rock as she passed. The shlick of a crossbow bolt being released had her spinning around and dropping low as she looked for the attacker. Behind her # 26 slumped to the, a bolt protruding from his chest, as red blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. “NO!” she cried, her black blade flashing in her hand. “Down!” she waved at the men behind her and the took cover, but not before several more bolts flew, taking down several more of her men. Carter grunted as a bolt caught him in the gut. “Alert! We are under fire” Alexa barked into her mic. The whole squad rushed in her direction, cautious of the incoming bolts. To her horror,

“For fuck sake that could have gone better.” Anika spat as they set down two injured wolves. Anika sported a slice across her bicep but it didn’t look bad.“The numbers were agaist us. But they needed to be taken out. A unit that size moving around our back door?” Said Nash, appearing out of the dark.Gad materialized next to him, “Question is what now? They know we are here. We are not going to get that kind of surprise again.”Alexa tagged her communicator, “Jackson, can you those with Thermals get a count for us?”“Give us a minute.” Came the reply.“How are our numbers here?” Nash asked, looking around.Alexa grimaced, and started looking for her wolves. “Wolf pack, sound off!”All but one answered. 28 was MIA. Likely dead. “Minor wounds mostly. A few took bolts in that last volley.” She said to Nash.“They have a cav
