The dragon's harem

Arad opened Isdis’s room and walked inside, and she was behind him. The twin maids pushed the tray of food behind them and rested it in the middle of the room.

“Please rest. Will get everything ready.” The two maids bowed.

Arad looked at the food and then at Isdis, “Shall we eat somewhere else?”

Isdis’s head twisted, staring at Arad with sparkling eyes, “Really! We’re going now?” Her gasp scared the twins in the back, causing them to stop working.

“There no reason not to,” Arad replied, and Isdis jumped in place, “Wait, I have to get my mantle. This would work as well,” She rushed to the cabinet and pulled a mantle and a scarf.

The two maids stared at them, “What about dinner?”

Isdis stared at them, “Forget about that! I’ve been waiting for this for such a long time!” She had heard tales from Aella and Mira about Arad’s tendency to fly them away. She was especially excited when she heard of Mira’s first trip and how fast Arad could move.

Isdis has always been a fan of riding horses. She loves nothing more than sprinting across the plains on a fast steed. To her, Arad was a horse on steroids that could fly and was several times bigger.

“If that’s the case,” The twins stared at her, “Can we go with you?” 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

Isdis stared at Arad, “I don’t know,”

Arad thought about it. There was no reason to hide being a dragon from them since they would remain with Isdis. “Why not?” Arad said with a smile as he approached the food tray. With one touch, it disappeared.

“Where did the food go?” The two maids glared around, and Arad waved his hand, “Don’t worry, I stored it so we can eat outside. Now wear something warm for the trip.”

After making sure they wore enough layers, the three stood before Arad. “We’re ready. Where are we going?” Isdis asked.

“There is an island to the west across the sea. we’re going there.” Arad had already scouted the area from the sky, and that seemed like a nice place.

“Wait,” The twins stared at Arad, “That’s two weeks away,” Rey said, “And there is the active trench of Abor in the way.”

Active trench of Abor, a series of mountainous terrains burning with lava and active volcanos. It’s sometimes called Hell on Earth, a place where tames and sorcerers go to hunt fire-type monsters. There are many active Trenches across the world in the same ways lakes and arctic regions exist.

“We’re going right through it,” Arad replied, his fists resting on his hips as he smiled.

Isdis jumped in place, “YEAH!”

The two maids stared at her confused. What could be fun going through such a place? No, how are they even going there? It’s impossible to get there in less than a week let alone in the middle of the night.

Arad extended his arms, “Hold onto me. We first need to get out of the city.” The twins remembered Arad teleporting to the walls. “We’re teleporting out?” Rey asked.

“Of course, we aren’t walking there,” Arad replied.

Aella and Mira had told Arad about Isdis before. She mainly likes two things, adventure and writing songs about those adventures. So he has been preparing for a while for this trip, making sure he got a dangerous route. Enough so she can find it fun, and easy enough so he can fly them across safely.

As everyone touched Arad’s arms, they found themselves standing in the middle of nowhere, looking at the city from the edge of a mountain. “How?” The maids gasped. They didn’t expect Arad’s range to be this big.

Arad cracked his neck once again, and Isdis pulled the twins away from him. “Stand here for a second.” She said with an excited face, “This isn’t something that money can buy,”

The twins stared at her, “What?”

CRACK! CRACK! As they asked, they heard Arad’s bones crackle for a second. They turned toward him to see his wings expanding. His massive tail whipped around like a whip, cracking a large stone and ripping a tree in half.

Arad’s skin turned black as his eyes flashed purple, his hands twisting into claws as his body bent forward. His body expanded, and the two maids fell on their butts, shaking.

BAM! Arad’s claw landed on the ground as his massive body growled, glaring down at the girls. The two maids looked scared while Isdis held her face with an excited smile and a blush! “Majestic!” She gasped.

“Wait! What’s the meaning of this?” The twins stared at Isdis.

“I’m a dragon. Well, mother was a dragon, and father should be a human, so you can still call me a half-dragon.” He said, his void booming deep causing their chest to vibrate.

“A true dragon?” The two maids almost cried.

“Don’t worry, I don’t bite,” Arad said.

“He swallows his food whole,” Isdis joked, poking the twins. “Come on, stand up. We’re going on a trip.”

“No! Dragons are proud creatures,” It’s always a known fact that most dragons don’t like carrying people on their backs. “He won’t carry us,”

“I’m here, remember,” Arad called them, “Get on my back. I already prepared a saddle fastened with gravity magic. You won’t fall.”

Isdis rushed to climb Arad’s wing, taking a spot right above his neck, “This is my place!”

The twins stared at each other and then at Arad, “Really?”

“Of course, get on my back.” He pointed with their claw, and they climbed his wing with fearful steps.

Arad turned his neck and stared at them, making sure they were strapped well on his back. At the speed he intends to reach flying, the acceleration alone could kill them if they slipped outside the gravity magic on his back.

Isdis lifted her hand, “Ground trembles beneath the draconic claw, the mighty beast flying across the twilight sky, illuminated by the crescent moon.” She said with a loud voice.

“A dragon’s pride and arrogance is not narcissistic vile, but the power and freedom coming with it.” Isdis looked down at Arad’s head.

“If you’re strong enough, you can do whatever you want, and no one would stop you. Those are dragons, right?” She asked.

“Of course, if I want to carry my mate across the sky. I’m doing it, and I don’t care what anyone says or thinks,” Arad replied. Isdis looked at the twins.

“And there you have it. If a dragon wants to do anything, they will do it. That’s their pride of might makes right. As a dragon, freedom is your creed.” As she said that, Arad started moving. Slowly trotting across the forest, he picked up speed before lunging into the sky and expanding his wings.
