"So when is everyone fucking waking up?" I ask. "Fucked tired of this cave."
"Don't be an ass," Elora says. "They've been kind to us, and Alzi has been busy dealing with Zarzi and Nanoka."
"The old fuck is with her? Why the fuck does she get to be next to Alzi?" I ask. Everyone is in the damn kitchen, with a fucking priestess watching over us like we're going to steal the fucking salt. At least the damn breakfast is fucking good.
"She almost died and then got heavily pregnant," Syro says. "Of course, she gets to spend ti with Alzi. Alzi also doesn't hate her like us."
"Like you fucks. Don't lump in with you shits," I say. "But why are we all fucking here?"
"Why are you complaining so much?" Elora asks. "I think I'm here to marry Alzi, others to keep watch over Alzi's Aunt, and protection for Alzi. A bit of a guess, but should be close."
"'Cause I'm fucking dealing with you all instead of Alzi or fucking sleeping or doing anything fucking else," I say. "This is just fucking annoying to sit here doing nothing. But sorry, I guess."
"You know that word?" Elyne says. "I think you forgot the curse word for that sentence."
"Tell Alzi about that shit," I say. "Need to show fucking progress for the damn kids."
"Oh, the one in my arms feeding from my breast?" Elora says. "What about her?"
"Yes, those damn kids," I say.
"Ehm," the Priestess says. "The Queen is just getting so sleep. We believe she will wake up around lunch. She didn't sleep much at night. Zarzi's labor was over quickly with the Queen's help, and all the eggs are safe. We understand the frustration, but you all should go to the castle with the new Queen rather than separately. Outsiders shouldn't be coming in before the Queen has a chance to make it her nest."
"We understand," Shimr says. "Just strange being in enemy territory."
"Hardly enemy territory," Geta says. "We're in a temple and Alzi is being called the Queen of the land."
"Speak for yourself," Shimr says.
These bitches really do just love to fucking tear at each other's throats. Can't even fucking agree that they can feel differently from one another on this simply fucking issue.
"Fuck this," I say. "I'm going to check on the fucking Aunt."
"You don't need to worry," the Priestess says, motioning to fucking sit back down.
"I fucking am worrying," I say. "Too many fucks have hurt Alzi. I'm not going to join the damn list right now. Not after it fucking took the damn dragon betraying her fucking sister to save Alzi." I've got the damn path morized already. Fucking hard to sleep with the wailing bitch, so it was easy to fucking wake up and check in on the fucker. Wailing bitch may be a bit much for soone pushing out a fucking village, but if it fits, I'll fucking use it in private.
The Aunt never said a fucking word during the fucking night. Just fucking glared at like I was so bitch that hurt her. Damn thing must be going insane in the fucking cold. Wish I fucking packed a damn coat at least. Fucking relax a bit and lessen the load in my ring for one fucking week, and I get sent to a fucking hell hole like this fucking unprepared. I'll fucking live. I've done this shit before. Just a few fucking hours till fucking lunch.
None of the priestesses stops as I walk into the fucking freezer. Just the Aunt is in the fucking cold, and now. Looks like she still hasn't gotten a fucking second of sleep.
"Going to stare at more?" the Aunt asks.
"Tired of the fucking quiet, now?" I ask. "Was fucking nice not having to hear your damn voice before. Alzi is your fucking niece. Why would you fucking betray her?"
"Fucking betray her? If she had just stayed still for a day, she would've been fine. She just can't think. She used mana before she was eighteen! Just a day, but still, you can't do that. She should've known her mother was fine."
"The fuck you on about? I didn't ask a damn thing about Alzi's childhood," I say. "But that sounds like a great fucking conversation to have now."
"I deserve to be her mother. I worked hard. I shook my ass for those fucking n. Kissed their ass, married other won, and all that. What justice is there that the lonely sister gets blessed with a child of her own blood! I wanted any child, and she gets pregnant without us even knowing who the father is. I deserved all that. I worked for all that. Why was my hard work thrown out? Then the kid ca out even more special. Why her? What did my sister do to deserve any of that? To earn any of it? She couldn't even marry soone. Then the kid had an affinity. My sister was supposed to be a nobody, then even the elders wouldn't tell her off after that stupid kid was born. The idea was simple. It just ca to . Take control of the kid. Take what I earned. Get justice against the sister who did nothing, but earned everything."
"Fuck, pick a fucking story and stick with it," I say. "What the fuck did you an by wait a fucking day?"
"My sister, in her infinite luck and bullshit, was fine after a day," the Aunt says. "But the kid, due to my sister's ineptitude, ran off anyway and sold herself. Why didn't she co running into my arms? I deserved her. I earned her!"
"Shit!" I say. "Alzi sold her ass for fucking nothing, and you're bitching that she didn't sign her life over to you? Fuck. I knew I was better off leaving my damn family behind. I don't think a single fucking woman around here has a nice fucking family. You all want to fuck each other over just to feel better. Going to start crying about the fucking injustice of being locked up? Fucking pathetic. You should've known about the damn bitch breaker between your niece's legs. If you had a damn brain, you would've just helped your fucking sister raise Alzi, and you'd get your fucking child in your old age as a damn thank you. Fucking idiots. Can't fucking think farther than a damn week."
"I'm a damn champion," the betrayer says.
"I figured that shit out already," I say. "Think I can't figure out a damn nobody that held her own against three fucking nobles had to beco a champion to get her fucking power? I'm not fucking stupid."
"I wasn't a fucking nobody!"
"You were a fucking nobody. Still a damn nobody. I don't know your damn na, and I don't plan on ever learning that shit. I've heard enough out of your ass. Ti to get so fucking sleep."
Despite this being a giant fucking cave, there isn't a single rock around to throw at a bitch. Not even a damn pebble. A coin will have to fucking do. I fucking hurl it at her head, hitting her forehead with the flat side of the coin and sending her to sleep. And fucking bleeding.
Fuck! Do I fucking tell Alzi about all that shit? This bitch.

"Well done, hatchling," Dragon says.
"Hatchling?" I ask. I'm already naked, so I just have to walk forward and slip into the lava pool she's resting in.
"Do you prefer little one?" Dragon asks.
"I have a..."
"My dragon gave you that mate. Don't try to show off before , hatchling. You got lucky. Nothing more. Phrogni wanted your kids more than she loved her sister, and my dragon still cares about the original goal enough to save you from becoming the phoenix's mate. Of course, if she didn't show up at all, you would've been completely safe, and she didn't really have a true reason to be there, so I'm calling it a wash that last day of the war. So, as I said, well done. You ca out on top. A bit more fucking than I thought would happen, but it worked, and it didn't disgrace yourself. Sex and kids are your nature."
"I'm more than that," I say, slumping down against her belly. Her belly gently rocking with her breath.
"Part of your nature," Dragon huffs. "You are a bold girl as well. Can't forget about you sitting on Death's lap. She won't shut up about that. It's annoying hearing about that over and over. Thank you for coming to help your mate."
"I want my kids and Zarzi," I say. "I went overboard with her a bit."
"A bit? Girl, she's only the third dragon to live after having a hundred eggs inside her. Be gentle next ti and limit it to fifty or let her do live births with twenty or sothing. Zarzi can't participate in the ritual to make it easier to carry broods."
"Do they work?" I ask. "Only three have lived before."
"Of course they work, otherwise how would they get so many kids without your fertile cock? It just helps them get pregnant and then survive to labor. Doesn't do anything for them in the labor. You'll have to do that or ask Fertility what it takes to survive giving birth to them."
I should've known this wasn't going to be easy. "Who am I going to be helping if Zarzi can't handle broods?"
"I want more dragonkin," Dragon says. "You'll figure it out soon."
"I don't care," I say. I give out a little stretch and hug her front paw like a teddy bear.
"Truly too bold for your own good," Dragon sighs. "You're the Queen to my people. I stepped aside to see who would lead the next generation while Zarzi's kids grow up. You won. Now you get to be the Queen. That ans listening to ."
"If I don't want to?" I ask.
"My dragon still listens to even if she hates . I'm asking sothing small. Trust , you won't be mad about giving the one I'm thinking about a brood. I know you don't wish for my kids, but she'll handle most of the Queen duties and give you kids. You'll be happy with her and she'll be happy with you. I wish you had kept Phrogni alive."
"I have plenty of won to have sex with."
"But Phrogni would've let you release your deep desire. The desire to just fill a woman to the brim. Her first brood will be a hundred. Her next two hundred. Two hundred eggs you get to put into soone. The only way to get more is for a Goddess to accept you filling her with more. Who are you going to get to do that for you? It will hardly be a bother for us till the labor, but I certainly don't want to be your incubator for that. Fertility won't. Who will? Nobody now. But that's fine."
"Space may do it," I say. "But I don't really have the wish to do that."
"If you say so," Dragon says. "But if you ever do have the desire, I can help."
"How?" I ask.
"I have her soul."
'Strange isn't that? Why would Dragon have a soul? Who else may she have? For what purpose?' Space says.
"You really want to breed," I say.
"Space! Get the fuck out of here," Dragon roars. "I made a deal with Death, and now I have a deal with Phrogni. If you wish to have soone to fill with kids, Alzi, we can work sothing out to get her soul into so body for an incubator or sothing. I promised she could have her sister's soul if she gave ten thousand new kids. But she can't have ten thousand kids. That is fifty broods of two hundred. Her soul will tear apart before that happens. She'll give my kids, and her soul will split knowing her sister will be tortured for all of eternity."
"I'll think about it," I say.
"You'll want it."
"So revenge would be nice," I say. "I can think of sothing that would have do it with a smile on my face."
"Greedy as ever."
