He doesn't respond to her question, instead choosing to remain silent and wait for whatever fate awaits him next.

Risa's eyes narrow, looking down at the ground for a moment as she sighs heavily, shaking her head in disappointment. "You're not going anywhere until we get some answers," Risa tells him with an evil grin forming on her lips again. "Now tell me… what do you know?" She asks once more with an even deeper tone in her voice which causes his heart rate to increase rapidly within his chest prompting his breathing to become shallow due to his anxiety over being held captive by someone who seemed far too dangerous to be taken lightly by anyone who stood before them unarmed and defenseless against their attacks.

"She's just a lady that I was interested in today," He replies.

"Just a lady?" Risa repeats with raised eyebrows as her green cat-like eyes stare into his own with curiosity written throughout her face.

"Yes! Just a girl I met earlier this morning!" He yells back in respon

    His words come out coldly like before without any emotion whatsoever, which causes Risa's heart rate to increase rapidly within her chest, prompting her breathing to become shallow due to the anxiety which came over her body in response to his question that seemed almost rhetorical rather than asking because he knew what had happened."That bitch doesn't deserve you after what she did when questioning you this morning! I saw her getting it on with another man right in front of the other customers at that bar!" She yells angrily, feeling her anger rising inside her again as she continues to yell, not caring anymore whether anyone heard her or not.Aiden shakes his head slowly in disappointment, not wanting to hear anything else she might have to say after hearing her story and witnessing everything she did just moments ago."I had to miss my meeting because I felt your murderous rage from where I was," He tells her calmly while keeping a stern look on his face showing no signs of remors

    Ding!Aiden rushes out of bed, snatching the clothes from the floor as quickly as he can and putting them back on himself while trying not to appear too eager or desperate for this moment to end. They needed to return to Draenor as quickly as possible because there was still work to be done."Let me get some things first," he replies hastily, turning around and heading toward the door that leads outside, where all of their stuff is anxiously waiting for them once their journey is through.Risa slumps against the wall, leaning forward and resting her chin atop her hands, staring blankly in front of her, not understanding why he is so preoccupied with getting ready when he was fully prepared a few days ago before leaving home with her in tow."You're going dragon hunting today, aren't you? You're finally doing what you should have done a long time ago." She states matter-of-factly as if she knew what his plans were without him having to tell anyone else what his intentions truly were; kn

    Lyris finally speaks, her voice low and ominous. [What took Risa was a rare dragon, one that has the power to transport beings between dimensions and it's drawn to her scent. It will come for you next, so you must be prepared to fight it off once it takes you to its dimension, or it will kill you both.]Aiden grits his teeth in anger at the thought of Risa being taken by this creature.[It is a creature that your father had been seeking for some time, and now, thanks to your journey here, with my help, you finally have a chance to capture it.] Aiden feels a mix of shock and disbelief at Lyris's words. He had no idea that such a creature even existed, let alone that they would encounter it on their journey. He feels a surge of anger at Lyris for putting Risa in danger without warning them of the potential risks."You could have warned us!" Aiden exclaims, his voice rising in anger. "You put Risa in danger without even telling us what we might be up against!"Lyris remains unfazed by Ai

    As he journeys through the dark and treacherous terrain of the dragon's dimension, Aiden's senses are on high alert. He can feel the dragon's presence all around him, and he knows that he must be careful not to alert it to his presence.Suddenly, they hear a deafening roar that shakes the ground beneath their feet. Aiden knows that the dragon has sensed their presence and is coming for them.'Activate the Enhancer ability now, Lyris,' instructs Aiden.He unsheathes his sword and takes a defensive stance ready to face the dragon head-on. He clenches his hands around it and takes a deep breath, focusing his mind on the dragon approaching.

It lunges at Aiden, its jaws snapping shut just inches from his face. Aiden leaps back, narrowly avoiding the attack.[Don't get distracted, host] Lyris warn

    Aiden smiles at Risa and puts a hand on her shoulder, trying to clear the air from her previous question. "I followed your trail," he says simply, gesturing towards the snow-covered ground. "You left a pretty clear path for me to follow."Risa nods, wiping away a stray tear. "I tried to cover my tracks, but I guess I wasn't as successful as I thought. Good thing the dragon didn't have any better luck." Aiden chuckles at her joke, and he says, "I am sure that there are many more adventures ahead of us."Risa smiles at him, and says, "I hope so.""It's alright," Aiden reassures her, standing up and offering his hand to help her up. "Let's get out of here. We have a long journey ahead of us."Aiden smiles at her, then looks around the cave. "Did you find anything interesting while you were here?" he asks.Risa shakes her head. "No, just some scared shitless, rocks and snow. And some strange noises, but I didn't investigate."Aiden nods, then turns to leave the cave, with Risa following

    Risa looks at him, and says, "I'm sorry, but it's the only way I can keep up with you."Aiden looks at Risa, and he nods, acknowledging her concern and effort to lighten the tense mood. He knows the danger of taming a dragon, but he also knows that it's their only chance of defeating the Unseen Assembly."Risa, I have to do this. It's the only way," he says, his voice firm.Risa hesitates for a moment, then nods. "Okay, but be careful," she says, her eyes still filled with worry."Alright, let's do this," Aiden says, taking a deep breath.He then closes his eyes and focuses on the dragon. He can feel the dragon's presence in his mind, and he can feel its power. He can feel the dragon's anger and frustration, and he can feel the dragon's desire to be free.Aiden opens his eyes, and he approaches the dragon slowly, his eyes never leaving its gaze.As he gets closer, the dragon growls, and it opens its mouth, letting out another bolt of lightning.

    Once he reaches the base, Aiden dismounts from Draed, and walks inside the base where everyone has gathered around one of the many tables in the common room.The guards stare at him in surprise at seeing him and they take careful steps back when Draed snapped at them."Don't worry, he doesn't bite," Aiden says with a chuckle. "Just don't get too close to him."He then looks at the other members who are all staring at him with shock and concern on their faces. He can tell that there is something wrong but it seems like no one wants to come out and say what's bothering them. He then notices Brad standing near an empty table looking uncomfortable and embarrassed. "I knew that you could do it! Brad over here is a spoilsport." Gregg says excitedly with a huge smile spread across his face.Brad rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically, "yeah, I'm sure you'd have no problem with me trying to tame a dragon if I was ever able to get close enough to do so!"Gregg throws his hands up at hi

    Draed sniffs loudly through his nose and continues watching Gregg closely."Oh no, don't say that," Gregg laughs nervously at seeing Draed's body language change. "It's just that if we're going to work together, we need to trust each other right? And we can't really start by arguing."A small grin appears on Draed's lips before he lies back down on the floor again. The dragon seems to be relaxing now that he realizes this is a human and nothing more than a harmless beast of burden.Aiden looks over at the guards, who appear to be extremely relieved by the fact that the dragon isn't attacking them. [This should be fun.] Lyris whispers in Aiden's mind. [You might end up being accused of murder.] She teases him playfully in her mind.Roooar!Draed roars loudly out of his mouth causing everyone to jump in surprise.The sound echoes throughout the cavern, making everyone cringe from its deafening volume.Everyone takes a step away from the young man who is still kneeling on the ground wit

    Raymond didn't miss the nervous look in Aiden's eyes, and he gestured to the waitress, indicating for two more coffees. "Don't look so worried, Aiden," he began, leaning back in his chair. "I'm not here to stir up trouble, quite the opposite, in fact."Aiden gave a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "You have a knack for popping up unexpectedly, Raymond," he said, meeting the older man's gaze. Raymond chuckled, a sound that reminded Aiden of crunching autumn leaves. "Guilty as charged," he admitted. "But it's the only way to catch you off guard, isn't it?"The two men shared a smile, the ice of formality finally beginning to thaw. When their coffees arrived, Aiden took a moment to appreciate the smell, the warmth of the cup soothing his nerves.Raymond's knowing smile widened as he caught sight of the green card.

    The news of their forthcoming child was still fresh in their minds as they sat down to discuss their imminent wedding. The room was filled with a sense of exhilaration, excitement, and anticipation. The huge dining table was strewn with various wedding catalogs, color palettes, floral arrangements, and tentative guest lists.

Her green eyes sparkled with a mix of joy and anxiety, her fingers fluttering across the catalog pages as she attempted to decide on the most fitting color code for their nuptials."Aiden, what do you think of this one?" She pointed towards a palette that was an array of earthy colors, inspired by nature.Aiden leaned over to see what she was indicating, his gaze falling on the hues of deep forest green, soft brown, and a touch of gold. He studied it for a moment, his blue eyes reflecting the colors she chose."It's perfect, Risa. It truly reflects who we are, connected

    150 - A perfect fit

    [R-18]'When am I never ready?' Gregg replied in his thoughts, but instead of going along that line of thought, he gave her a tender smile as he brushed her hair away from her face and planted soft kisses on her cheeks and along her jawline."You're my dream girl." He whispered softly into her sensitive ears.Zin's breath caught in her throat as she looked at Gregg with a surprised smile. He had said that to her countless times before in different ways and situations, but it felt different coming from him now. He wasn't saying it because it was something he wanted her to do. It was simply how he saw her.With an easy grace, Zin disrobed, letting her clothes fall to the floor until she was wearing nothing but a sheer white slip of lingerie that accentuated her curves and accentuated her light pink nipples that were already hardening beneath the thin fabric. "Must have been the flour and grease on them," Zin teased with a playful smirk, stripping off the remaining clothing as quickly a

    "Is everything alright, Risa?" she asked, her tone hinting at her worry. "You've never declined wine before. Is there a reason you're saying no tonight?"Risa glanced at Aiden, an unspoken question flickering in her gaze. Aiden gave her a reassuring smile, a silent signal for her to share their secret. "I'm not feeling unwell or anything," Risa began, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's just that...I... we... are expecting."The room fell silent, as if the words had sucked the air right out of it. Zin blinked, looking between Risa and Aiden, trying to comprehend the gravity of the news. Meanwhile, Gregg stared at Aiden, his eyes wide with shock."Expecting?" Zin repeated, her mind racing to decode Risa's words. But then it clicked, and she let out a startled gasp. "You mean...you're pregnant?"Risa nodded, a shy smile playing on her lips. "Three weeks along."Aiden reached for Risa's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. He looked at her with such warmth, his eyes sparkling with

    The shadows began to stretch across the rooms of the quaint duplex that Zin and Gregg called home as the golden tendrils of the afternoon sun began to retreat for the day. In the heart of their dwelling, Zin's culinary skills were on full display in their small but well-equipped kitchen. The tantalizing aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, Gregg's domain was the dining area, where he was meticulously attending to every detail. He nervously adjusted the tablecloth, smoothed out non-existent creases, and repositioned the silverware for what felt like the hundredth time."Gregg," Zin's voice carried from the kitchen, filled with a lighthearted teasing note, "You're going to wear holes into the tablecloth if you continue fussing over it like that."A sheepish grin spread across Gregg's face at Zin's playful comment. "I just want to ensure everything is perfect, Zin," he replied, his voice shaky. "Aiden's accustomed to high-end,

    147 - You got yourself a deal

    A smile, brimming with mischief, gradually began to play across the features of Aiden. The playful glint in his eyes danced as he declared in a voice imbued with teasing suspense, "I'm not going to share that with you." Without any further ado, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small box with intricate detailing, and handed it over to Gregg, who was visibly caught in the throes of anticipation.Gregg accepted the box with a sense of curiosity bordering on fascination. He gingerly opened the lid, and his pupils dilated in astonishment as they beheld the singular object nestled within the folds of velvet that lined the box. Inside lay a shimmering golden card that reflected the soft ambient light in a playful dance of colors, emphasizing the meticulous engraving of a stylized dragon that marked its surface. The card was encased in a pristine white border, upon which bold, black words stood out in striking contrast: 'What you seek is within.'Aiden, struggling to contain his amus
