Subject: [DL-J] When Two Hearts Become One
This wasn't the best assignment he'd had since coming to Jasra, but it
wasn't the worst either. Watching an apartment to make sure the girl
inside didn't leave was easy, but Ojean sure hoped Jerram would get
back
soon, because Teewith, while having grown quite a bit over the last
year,
still didn't have that much skin to oil. And one could only oil a
dragon
so many times without someone starting to wonder.
Like he himself was wondering who the girl riding the dragon sleeping
outside on the ledge was... And why Jerram wanted her watched. So far
she
had stayed inside, only once coming out to unsaddle her dragon and
finish
taking the rest of her things inside.
Maybe it was to keep her safe because of all the stuff happening with
the
battle that had just taken place. He was still a bit upset that they
had
sent him out of the Warren to keep him and Teewith *out of danger*...
They
were a pair and they could fight as well as any of the others... Well
they
could have if they were allowed to train to be what they were and get
off
the milk run Tara had then on as her messenger. Not.. that being the
Warrenlady's personal messenger was all that bad.. Because it wasn't
and
he got to meet people outside the Warren that he wouldn't have the
chance
to otherwise.. And he probable knew these lands better then anyone
living
here... But he and Teewith were old enough now to join a fighting wing
and
it was about time someone took notice. Maybe he'd have a talk with Saul
about the best way to go about asking Tara to let them start training
with
a Wing.
As he cleaned his hands on a rag he carried in his oil kit, Ojean
looked
around the Warren and notice the clean up detail was already at work
trying to put the Warren back to rights. He hated what he'd seen when
he'd
returned to the Warren this morning. What was worse was finding out
from
Cill that the Warrenlady, Tara had been injured.. almost killed and
that
she was barely hanging on. This was bad news. The Warren needed Tara to
hold them together. She was level headed and kind... but no pushover
when
it came to defending the Warren either. She just knew instinctively
what
needed to be done and did it. That's why she was held in such high
regard
by the people living here and around the landbound cities.
He wanted to get back to Cill's and help her watch his new nephew. Well
that was his excuse.. Really he just wanted to be with her. Every since
he
had told her of his feelings for her and she had realized he was
telling
her the truth, they were spending every moment together. He'd made sure
that every other male in the Warren knew they had come to an
understanding
and that Cill was no longer a free woman. This had earned him a few
dirty
looks from some of the others, but Ojean just smiled in response.
He was just settling down next to Teewith for a nap the aqua-blue
dragon
told him Seydor and another dragon were back in the Warren and Seydor's
rider would be with him in a short while after they got someone settled
in
the med center.
"Hope your trip was more exciting then mine," Ojean spoke aloud a
little
while later as Jerram came around Tee's side to find him. "She only
came
out onto the ledge one time to unsaddle her dragon and then went back
inside. But something strange happened a while ago."
Jerram eyed him with sight amusement. "Ojean a lot of strange things
happen here. You'll have to be more enlightening."
"Well.. I saw a lot of movement down around the med center and then
Sabbith and the Queen lifted off and teleported away. Tee said
something
about Tara being sick and Kay needing to get her away from some..
magic..
to save her life."
"They left the Warren?" the Weaponsmaster frowned. "Are you sure? Did
anyone go with them?"
"Not that I could see, and yes I'm sure.. Tee heard the dragon's
talking.
Funny thing was.. that healer they got who's from the water city... I
could have sworn I saw him clutched in Sabbith's claw before they
disappeared."
"Thanks for letting me know," Jerram commented, but Ojean could tell
his
mind was already somewhere else. "And thanks for doing me this favor. I
owe you one."
"No prob," the younger rider replied as he packed up his bag with his
oil
supplies. "I'm off to get cleaned up and then go see Cill."
<<Insert Kris's post.. *Taking The Next Step* here>>
>"How would you like to get a basket and then have Teewith take us to our
favorite beach and.. Well.. watch the sun set," he asked all innocent
like.
>"To our beach?" she grinned, "There's no place I'd rather go .. and you
know it! Sooo .. I'll get the basket .. you get the blanket .. and
we'll
meet at the dragon?"
>"Cill," he reached out to catch her before she could go. "I'd like to
take you back into my.. *Our* bedroom and make love to you right now...
but I've always wanted our first time to be where we first spent time
together here in our knew home. Our beach is where I first realized
that
I loved you."
>"Hmmm .." she murmured thinking for a moment, "We'll that's certainly a
better place for our *celebration* then the place where I first
realized
I loved you." She nodded at him.
>He raised an eyebrow, "Why? Do tell me Miss Cill, where was it you first
realized you loved me?"
>"In the dining hall," she smiled wistfully, "The night of the big storm
when Oryll was born. The night Trelawney made me see past my scars .."
They were both silent for a moment, when suddenly Cill laughed, "Are
you
sure you wouldn't rather rent a table in the dining hall tonight? I'm
sure no one would mind?"
>He shook his head laughing with her, "I'm very sure. I want you all to
myself."
IT didn't take them long to gather together the things they thought
they
would need, and together, hand in hand they walked out to where Teewith
was waiting.
<<We go to our beach?>> the tealish dragon asked.
<Yes. We go to our beach,> the rider agreed with happy thoughts even
the
dragon couldn't help read. He helped Cill up onto Tee's back and then
climbed up and made sure the riding straps were secure around them
both.
He didn't want to take any chances with her. Not now when they were
finally going to move on to the next step of their relationship.
Less then a minute later they were at their beach. A favorite spot
where
they had spent a lot of time together after Cill had moved to Jasra
with
her mother. Teewith landed and bent down to make their dismount a bit
easier, and Ojean noticed for the first time that his dragon seemed
larger.
<Have you grown my heart, or am I getting smaller?> he asked as he took
Cill's hand and led her over to the spot where they always laid their
blanket.
>>I grow as you need me too,<< the dragon told him and moved off to find
his spot in the sun.
Cill noticed a funny look on his face when she looked up from laying
her
side of the blanket. "Something wrong?" she asked, a bit worried that
he
was changing his mind.
He turned his head back to look at her and smiled his charmer smile as
he
held out his hand to her. As she placed her hand in his, he lowered
himself down and then moved so she laid in his arms as they stared out
to
sea.
"You know.. When we left Whiteriver.. The one thing I missed the most
was
not having you to talk to when I needed someone. For the longest time
every time I saw something new I found myself turning around as if to
tell
you about it.. But you weren't there and I felt so sad of heart. I
missed
you so much that I would come out here at night sometimes just to talk
to
you. I let myself dream that you could hear me all the way in
Whiteriver."
He pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. "I remember before
I
left Whiteriver and moved here I gave Kanler a journal that I used to
write in every night when I got home. I wanted to put down every moment
we
spent together so I would be sure not to forget even the smallest
detail
of our time together," he told her. "But I didn't really need to do it
for
myself. I did it for you. I did it so you would have something to
remind
you of the good times in your life when you felt like everything was
going
wrong. Something to hold onto until you could come for a visit."
"I read your book every night before I went to bed and dreamed of you,"
she told him, and he wished he could see her face, but she was facing
away
from him. "I must have heard you speaking to me, because I swear I
could
feel you with me at times I thought everything was falling apart...
When
we came.. here.. The one thing that got me through the move was knowing
I
was going to see you here when we arrived... I think I knew even back
then
that I loved you but I was a afraid you were just being nice to me
because... well you know."
"I know," he said softly and hugged her even tighter. "I never *had* to
be
nice to you. You were my best friend. You were the one who brought joy
and
light to my world. I know we went through a lot together and it only
made
us closer... but I liked you before that. You weren't like the other
girls."
"I wasn't?" she asked sweetly, knowing full well she hadn't been.
"No.." he grinned as he dropped a kiss on her nose, which she had
turned
up to face him. "You were fun! There was life in you that was missing
from
the others. You weren't afraid to get dirty or go exploring with me and
you *listen* to me when I needed to talk about things. You always
understood when others didn't."
They were both quiet for a few moments until Ojean spoke up again. "I
used
to get so jealous when I would see other riders talking to you. I'd
want
to pound them into the ground and tell them to stay away from you.. You
were mine and they were to stay away from you."
"So why didn't you ever tell me?" she asked.
"I guess I was scared," he replied honestly. "I was afraid that you
didn't
feel the same way I did. I mean I know we've always been friends and
could
count on each other... But then I knew my own feelings had changed.. I
never felt this way about anyone else.. I wanted to be with you every
minute of every day and wanted to do things for you to make you happy
and
put a smile on your face. I knew then that I had fallen in love with
you..
I just had to give you time to see if you felt the same way. I didn't
want
to scare you away.."
She turned in his arms so that she was almost laying on top of him.
"Oh..
I was scared," she grinned as she snuggles against him, causing him to
groan as his body began to respond to her closeness. "I was scared that
you would find another girl you cared for more then me..."
"Never could have happened," he told her, his lips sliding over hers,
slowing pressing her open as he moved, and suddenly she was underneath
him. "I love you Cill. With all my heart I love you and no other woman
in
this warren or elsewhere will ever fill my heart the way you do."
His eyes held her as his head lowered again wanting to go slow as not
to
scare her. He didn't need to, her arms came up around his neck pulling
him
even closer as their lips met and....

Subject: [DL-D] 'Other dogs'
Day 1
Late Afternoon/Early evening.
Medical Center
Alden walked past a few people protecting his shoulder along the way.
He and the two hatchlings hurrying to keep up with him. He walked into
his brothers room. He was sitting looked out the window.
"You ready to go find him?" Alton asked without looking at his
brother.
"Yeah...you think he made it out ok?"
"Can only hope so....I mean they said no one else was in the tunnel."
Alden patted Neka's head.
He sighed. "They didn't say one died....at least not yet."
"The whole warren would be in a mess...." He smiled. "Come on... lets
go see... maybe the mail came in and his got word from Akety."
He hopped up. "I think he dosen't hear soon he is going to start to
rip his hair out."
They laughed.
The two little white's followed their riders closely. Watching and
peeking into each room they passed, they didn't know who they were
looking for they only knew that their riders were looking for someone.
They rushed past a door and saw a big green dragon sitting down
looking in a window, looking very sad. They stopped, and looked at
him.
The green looked at them. [You the two that were same egg mates?]
They nodded. Neka answered.
[Must have been cramped....you two are special...never have I heard
of this. Wouldn't be surprised if they would take special interest in
you two. I know this never happen in the wild.]
[Ohhhh...your from the wild.... you have family out there?]
He shook his head. [The only family I have is here, one is so very
far away though.....]
[oh..]
[Emil!]
[Neka!]
They both looked up and saw that their riders had gone into a room.
[Your riders are with mine...go he will like to see you.]
The rushed toward the room, almost getting suck as they both tried to
go through the door at the same time.
"This must be the twin dragon born of the same egg." He looked to
Alden and Alton. "Jacks said it happened but I was not sure. They
don't have similar names like yours do that?"
"No...this one is Neka." Alden touched the little white head. "He has
a arrow shaped tail."
"This is Emil."
He sighed. "Thank god the names are easy."
Alden sighed. "So... have you got word from your sister yet?"
He hung his head. "No...post man said nothing has come though." He
sighed. "I'm just hoping she is just busy."
"I'm sure it is....I bet she is saving the day her and Ishtar." Alton
offered.
He laughed. "Have you two see Weya yet?"
"No, but she joined!"
"Really that's grand....I just hope she is ok. I have slept half the
day away, really just got up a bit ago... haven't had time to go asking
questions. Roxie stopped by just a bit a go. She seemed ok."
"That's good, did you guys get the tunnels blocked off?"
"Yeah, I heard T'rell say something about it."
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "I assume so, cause the last
thing I remember was we saw one of the damn things, Roxie lit the
rocket and it went off. Lost my hearing temperedly after that. She was
screaming at me. Ryan was pulling on both of our shirts... it was
actually kinda funny now that I think about it." He smiled at them. "If
Ryan hadn't been pulling on us me and her would have been crushed by
this huge boulder... bigger then Jacks."
"That doesn't sound fun...or funny." Alden looked at him.
"Eh, we three are alive."
They nodded their heads.
"You guys want to go find Weya?" Alton asked.
"That's a good idea... get us out of this crowded med-center and into
the open. I may stop by Thea's office see if she has heard anything of
the goings on at Cleft." Dante said as he grabbed his shirt from the
arm of a chair.
[Puppies.] Jacks said plainly.
"Oh right, first lets take care of the wolves."
"I don't know how you stand four of them."
"What I can say, both the women I love, love the dogs. One lives with
me the other is gone. I have duty to do as a brother and a ....." He
trailed off, he wasn't quite sure what to call himself with him and
Weya. "And I love the wolves too, Nightbreed had been with me ever
since I was little and he was a pup." He looked at the little white
dragons. "You wait they may want to bring hope a pet too."
He and the twins headed out the med-center.
[Puppies...what re puppies can we eat them...can they eat us?] Emil
asked Jacks as they came out the building.
He laughed. [No, just wait and you will see.]
It took a couple of trips but Jacks got all of them to Dante's
apartment. As soon as he opened the door there was howling, and
growling The puppies were about to jump on him with they saw the two
little 'other dogs' the funny looking 'other dogs' but these 'other
dogs' were much smaller. They started to growling at the 'other dogs.'
"Well they show no fear. Larka..stop it." Dante laughed.
The growling continued.
Emil and Neka stood behind their riders while things growled at them.
[Those puppies?]
Alden nodded. *Yes, they are puppies. They are babies to those two.*
He pointed in at Gal and Nightbreed ad they started to walk out.
Sniffing the air.
Neka started to growl back, the puppies stopped then started to bark
at them.
Soon both puppies and the little dragons were growling and barking at
each other. The little whites making more of roar bark then a dog
bark.
Alden, Alton and Dante got a kick out of it.
Suddenly it stopped and they looked down, Larka was a half a inch
away from Emil's nose, both of them growling. Emil was just staring
at her. Then there was a loud bang from over at the hatching caves and
all four of them ran. The puppies running with their tails tucked and
the little dragon running to hide under Jacks.
"Brave things aren't they." Alton pointed out as he went to go get
Emil.
They laughed.
"Well now," Dante started as he shut door. "there's food and water.
Lets go find Weya and see what all is going to go on. And what in the
hell we are going to do about those things."
[I don't think I like those...puppies.] Emil said to Jacks and his
brother.
Jacks laughed.
[Yeah I don't think they would tast very good....and thouse big
puppies looked kinda scary...did you see how big the white one was?]
Neka puffed out his body to look big, streaching out his wings.
Jacks was getting a kick out of this.
[They are noisy too....]
[They had sharp teeth too...did you see 'em?] He showed his own
fangs.
Emil thought for a sec. [They can't be that bad if his rider had
'em...do you like them Jacks?]
He looked down at them. [Very much so...they kinda grown on you.]
[What?! I don't want of them to grow on me....the growling will never
stop and I"ll be fuzzy....is there a way to keep them from growing on
you?] Emil looked at him, fear in his eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh.
Dante looked up at him, as he heard the roaring going on.
"Whats wrong with him?" Alden asked.
"Nothing, his laughing."
