Dragon's B R I D E

The Dragon's Bride

Flames, then ash. Your village will be left with little else should the dragon that plagues the countryside not get his demanded sacrifice...if you're lucky. Your good fortune turns south, the bones of your neighbors (or whatever else remains of them) litter a new charred graveyard that was once a town. So, the necessary offers must be made.

At least that's the hope. The alternative would be too awful to contemplate.

In a last-ditch effort to save those you love — or against your will, as these things tend to go with forcibly created martyrs — you have been hoisted onto the pyre, waiting for the dragon to fly off with you. What terrors race through your mind as your doom impends?

How you'll end up in a beast's belly, no doubt. Except, you must consider this: there are worst fates than being a dragon's next meal. A monster that covets you as its treasure...a new type of danger unfurls its wings. You've become a dragon's bride.

But could such an infernal creature ever learn to know honest, unselfish affection? Is it possible to be more than a "spouse?" A mere treasure?

Perhaps, you could learn to be a dragon's love.

HOW TO PLAY
✗ Comment with your character, roles ("dragon" or "bride") prefs, etc.
✗ Y'all know how this goes. Approach "dragon" as a stand-in. The monster mash could be elves, orcs, goblins, werewolves, demons, dwarves, fey, purple people eaters, what have you. Of course, actual dragon and shifters folks are welcome, too! And don't think that you have to make your boring human a boring ol' human. Consider this the monster/supernatural being/cryptid/creature AU of your dreams!
✗ Second verse, same as the first, "bride" registers as gender-neutral 'round these parts. That word choice just sounds a touch more poetic.
✗ Reply to others.

dragon or bride

So how about some classic dragon and royal thing with Tim as the dragon?

Sounds fun to me!!! Mind starting im cooking dinner right now.)

Snow looked up a the clear sky, the sun starting to set over the treetops. A cold wind ruffled his dark hair and with a shiver he pulled his cloak closer around himself. It might have been a warm autumn, but winter was starting to approach. Would he be able to live past that cold season? Would he even survive this day? The sacrifice to a dragon. He chuckled to himself. It was all so very silly. The word dragon had been all it had taken for everyone to panic and start to look to old stories of how to solve the problem.

And that had been how he ended up in this empty field waiting for said dragon. So many stories told of dragons that destroyed, burned and killed until they got their claws on someone with royal blood. It had been decided to avoid any potential destruction by giving him away right away. They did not know what might happen to him and neither did he. He might live or he might die. Either way he would enjoy watching the world from outside of the thick castle walls he had been trapped behind his whole life even if that time would just be minutes more.

Humans were odd creatures in Tim's book. More so because he was a dragon of knowledge and liked to keep himself to the caves of his fathers and learn from the books he collected from multiple places. But being just only a few hundred years old, 700 to be exact, he was still starting out on his own from his fathers nest to find his own cave to live in. He had find a nice one off the coast in a forest. it was a small cave system, three large caves and enough room for a young salamader like himself to have wing room. Of course he would have to visit towns for more books from the area, shifting his form into one of a young human male, Dark hair and pale skin, eyes as blue as the sky on a clear day. Not as dashing as his true form, all balck and red scales, but it would do to get him the things he needed.

But fate was alwasy cruel when one wanted something done and some hunter had seen him one day and made a fuss about it with the village and the King of the land. Tim didnt know what they would do until the King sent out a lone person near his home after he flew over the village to try and get a look at it from the air. They looked so small as he flew over head, eyes looking over the human before Tim couldnt help but let out a roar of amusement. Oh...so they were trying to playcate him with a sacrafice? How...old fashioned.

Time landed not far from the human and his wings folded along his back, " You're a bit small to be out here in this cold young one. I think you better head back to your village." His loud voice boomed in the clearing.

The roar grabbed his attention. How could it not? Snow returned his gaze towards the sky and far above himself he could see the dragon. Big. He could tell as much even from this distance and the shape only grew larger the closer the dragon came to the ground. When the dragon landed, he could not help but to take a step back. The creature was intimidating and he had nothing on himself to defend himself with.

Red eyes quickly darted over his shoulder, towards the castle in the distance and then he looked up at the dragon. "I doubt I will be able to get home before dark. It is a long trek."

Tim tilted his head as he looked over the human. Most humans were to scared to speak to his kind, unless they were foolish knights who wanted the honor in killing a dragon. But this human was here shivering with no weapon or anything to protect himself,

"That is true. It is quite dark for someone so small to be so bare in the wilderness like this. What is your name?"

This is a an interesting thing, humans had just seemed to think that dragons were so swayed by a human sacrafices like this.

Oh, he were afraid of the dragon, knowing fully well that he could do nothing towards him. If the dragon decided to eat him then that would happen. However he knew what awaited back home and that frightened him more. So he rather took his chances with the dragon.

"Prince Snow White," he said with a sigh. He did not exactly sound happy about the fact.

So not just some villigare or noble, but the only heir to the kingdom.

A prince? The were really hoping such noble blood would quench his thirst for power. How amusing. The dragon chuckled a bit and leaned down to be eye level with the other,

"Well your Majesty, it is an honor to meet royalty out here in the tree, my draconic name is un pronoucable in your tounge. So please call me Timothy." A shiver ran up his spine as the wind got harsher,

"I have no desire to eat you my Prince. I'm afriad I dont have a taste for humans, old knights rotting inbetween my molars doesnt sound too appealing im afraid. But by a dragons law I cant let you go since you have been gifted to me. "

His tail thumped slightly out of annoyance on the ground for a moment, then he moved to hold out his hand,"It seems, my dear prince that I'll just have to take you home with me and figure out what to do from there. I'd rather not stay in the cold much longer."

His large voice echoing with a matter of face humph as he waited to see what the other would do or say.

"Timothy?" He could not help his surprised tone. That was such a mundane name. Okay so he himself had been named after the white snow that had fallen the day he got born, but there were names between the mundane and pure strange.

Snow let out a sigh of relief hearing he would not be turned into a meal. That had been a potential prospect he had wished to avoid. Honestly he wished to avoid any path that would lead to his death. But his brows did furrow slightly over being told that he would not be allowed to simply walk away from this.

On the other hand, how long would he last on his own? The sun were setting, the wind picking up and he wasn't dressed or equipped to last even a night out in the wild. Snow looked into the dragon's eyes, trying to judge his intentions and with just a moment of hesitation, he stepped forward and placed his hand in the dragon's.

"I wish to get away from the cold as well so take me wherever you please."

Tim felt a bit bad for the human as he felt the others chilled hand on his claw. Snow must have been through such an ordeal to be comfortable enought to go with a dragon instead of back home to his family and friends.

"Very well, i can do as you request. " then without saying anything else he scooped the other up into his claws with care and flew off. After about 30 minutes of flight they soon arrived at his cave and he sat Snow down,

"Well here it is...my home. I know its not what your use to your majesty, but we shall go inside and warm up from the cold, i need to change and so do you into some warmer attire, im sure i have something that can fit you. "

He walked inside, knowing the other would follow him and as he continued to walk he let his magic flow around him, getting to the center of the room as his form shifted into his human one. He shook his shoulders pulled the cloak he had on over his shoulders, his long sleeved tunic and pants red and the cloak black like his hair, "Damn the draft took over this place with me being gone, ill have to close off the main entrance tonight." He said mumbling to himself, snapping his fingers at a harth that lit ablaze and at once brighted and warmed up the main room of the cave. The walls were lined with elbarate tapastries and finary, bookshelves loaded to the nines with tomes and scrolls. Tim turned to Snow and smiled, as if he had been human the whole time and motioned for the other to come close to the fire,

"Please your highness, i dont know what id do if you froze to death before we can discuss what your place will be here once Ive gone over the laws."
