Book 3: Chapter 57
A/n: Next chapter’s spicy
Zayde
A month and a half passed, and it was time for me to start doing my part for Yellow’s territory. Now that Parez was healed and home, he managed his people, and I am to manage mine. The castle was covered in almost a foot of snow, and the village lights turning on below as the sun set looked like a post card for Solsticemas… I watched them while putting my hair in a tight man bun. I hated it. I also hated that they nearly got away with this…
I almost feel like there wasn’t enough blood offered to the master.
Those happily unknowing villagers below are lucky…. The few who do nearly got them all killed… It summoned our master and his literal blood… I heard rumor that even the Light got involved, but that was 100% bullshit.
Parez’s appendix burst during surgery, but magic and steady hands kept him just fine. I think I’ll send him a fruit basket or something. Everyone likes those.
[Master, the mistress has the portal ready.] Said Tinzaa.
“Alright.” I said following my little birdie. It was rare that she was unknowingly kind of cute, being a red peacock.
That form was more to look like the family crest than anything else. But seeing her excited to show me the castle’s progress made me chuckle.
And there my little mate was, wearing her yellow cloak, holding her spellbook. She’d merged her old Purple Diamond secrets with Yellow’s. It made the front yellow, and the back purple. She originally was going to have the purple in front, but changed her mind since we don’t run that color anymore.
“Evening.” She said shyly looking down.
Tiffany was shy in her V-neck black dress, because it was… really short, probably just barely covering her. If she bent down, I’d see her ass….. She had on yellow, bee striped leggings too, but old habits die hard. In the past she dressed conservatively, but I would be lying if I said her coming out of her shell wasn’t exciting… I knew it was the mate bond that made me feel this way, but she is *mine*.
With such a small possessive growl, its boom could probably be felt, since both father and Micael more or less rumbled back.
“Do I look *that* good?” She giggled, and I pulled her into my embrace. I had to fight my wings… Why they wanted to come out, I had no idea.
Of course she looked astonishing… She dressed like we were going on a date, and I just had on a faded t-shirt, and heavily ripped shorts. They were shifting clothes….But to be fair I will be shifting. And to be safe I took an extra pair of shorts.
I couldn’t help myself…. Fuck I was excited as a little kid… We weren’t moving in *today* but the main tower was complete… So we are moving out. Velimier did that so we could start moving. All our stuff is in only this tower, so we need to buy furniture, paintings, and so on.
“You look ravishing my lovely.” I smiled, pulling her close.
I need to be more careful. I hold the look of one who eats meat. She smelled delicious, like strawberries during a June festival… She makes a man crave more than a meal…
“Are you ready?” I asked with a small smile, seeing my devilish, red eyed gaze in the bathroom mirror’s reflection…. Her blush showed her rosy cheeks…
That smile made me glad I was lucky enough to find her twice… that she didn’t find someone else… or that she wanted to try again with another….. That would have been her right; she can have who she wants…
“I’m ready.” She beamed, activating the portal suddenly!
It was under our feet, instead of one we can walk through. I Hate these! You fall faster and faster. I flipped us around and sprouted wings. Half of that was instinct, the other was to have a bit of fun.
Theo-Tiffany’s grin gave her away anyway. That smile was one I’d seen for thousands of years, but each one is special. It gives me an animalistic pride that I make her feel this way… Like a hunter bringing home food to his mate… I bring her joy.
I realized that *was* instinctual…. I need to be more careful.
“Zayde!” She yelled with a giggle.
“Wee!” I said with a downward flap, doubling our speed.
Now it was *my* turn to be cheeky. I twirled as we plummeted, and I folded my wings to go *faster*. We shot out the portal, coming out the other side going at least a hundred and forty or fifty.
I was blinded at first by the sun… but then the clear blue sky and crystal clear river made our lands look like a gemstone. The waters sparkled, and the air was *fresh* …. Fresher than even back home…
This place was *nearly endless*. The forest was so large, and the air was so clean, that the mist of the rainforest made the air nearly appear blue…
“So the barrier over the land makes it so humans just get lost and find the dirt road back to the city Parez lives in… like maybe 100 miles that way.” She pointed, being comfortable in the air.
“You do good work my lovely.” I said filled with pride. Her barrier work is impressive… She managed to maintain multiple until mother was healed…. AND ours stayed at 100%. Nothing, not a single inch of it went down.
I let my hair be loose, fuck the stupid man bun. With a claw I let the wind lick my locks.
This place made me feel … free…
No humans to see this form….
No restrictions on cloaking or placating oath breakers….
This was my home now… and I am the lord of its skies. I could sent that I was the biggest fucking thing here.
“Not even the scent of a stray dragon…. They must have already cleared out after they caught wind of a Dark Coven’s resurgence….” I said flapping in place a moment… All I saw were trees, a few flocks of parrots, and the castle tower.
This is Great!
I tossed her high in the air to shift proper, at least a hundred feet, probably more.
“Wee!” She squealed, having the time of her life! “Catch me!”
I ruined my clothes, shifting so instantly so she’d feel safe. I should have at least taken off the boxers… but she held some shorts for me. I don’t know how fast I can go, but I Do know that I would be receiving a citation in the mail if we were still in Black.
“If I fly any faster, I’m going to give myself the coven’s first speeding ticket.” I caught her gently and kind of held her close for a moment in both my hands… I could feel her little heartbeat out her chest, but it was from the thrill of her roller coaster husband. My mate is so soft. It felt like I was holding a small kitten or something.
“Oh, that was *ONE* Time!” She complained.
“And how many did your father give you?” I grinned. “You’re not as slick as you think you are my dear.” I sang.
Those follow you, and I knew she had a lot.
“NINE AND I’ll DO IT AGAIN!” She shouted playfully, flailing her arms while sitting crisscrossed in my palm.
“Then you’ll get your I think eleventh one right now.” I teased.
“You Wouldn’t! One More point and I’ll have a suspended license!” Tiffany grabbed my thumb and tried shaking it like you shake someone’s shoulder…
“I kid, I kid.” I shook my head. “Soundless.” I did a sound spell to roar and let the forest know that there’s a new ‘Alpha’ in the area.
Usually, magical, and shifting creatures Can live close, however, I am claiming both of those spaces. We aren’t true beasts, but I’m as close as you can get to the real thing.
No one responded, but it did scatter the little birdkin. Something was in a forest this old…. I hid how disappointed I was…. I did want to fight something for land so nice… The castle, as big as it was… was swallowed by this place.
The trees were so tall here that it actually hid the castle somewhat… All the spires were in order.
Velimier’s making 9 towers in total, so we’re probably having 6 or 7 children, but I didn’t say anything about that yet… Micael must have tower 2. He was made my apprentice before I had any children. By law he’s legally like an adopted child…. Had I had a child already, he’d be in Tower 3.
Also, she probably knows all this. I can’t imagine her not remembering that large detail about her own people, since this was a universal rule…. Our manor had 5 wings, but we only had the 3 children. Heidi was cheated.
“Are those the little birds?” I asked pointing. They looked like large goose necked parrots from afar.
“Yeah! Let me sound the alarm so they know you’re ok.” She summoned a whistle shaped like a cardinal and blew into it 3 times.
She started training them. Three blows for a master, Two for a guest, and a long One for an enemy.
It sounded like a normal whistle, though the magical component is how loud it gets once it reaches 500 feet away from you. I’m also glad she wove that into the sound spell, or else my ears would be bleeding.
Their squawks were almost as impressive as my roar. There had to be hundreds of them… And they are cute. I just won’t admit it.
They flapped around my hand as I landed slowly shrinking. I could see my fellow witches come through to see the tour as well. They saw my full viage, and not a fucking head was raised.
I don’t know where that wave of aggression came from, but I am the Lord here. I could bet that’s where this sudden, swift feeling to dominate came from. Good thing I’m trained well. It’s easy enough to suppress to be fair.
