Chapter 2
So, how did you two et? a red dragon asked, leaning close to Vur who was stuffing his face with food. The red dragon was smaller than him, smaller than Prika too, but the gold dragon beside herthe one that Vur shot with a laserwas as large as him.
Tafel cleared her throat from atop Vurs head. She was eating an unknown piece of at that was perfectly seared. I think itll be better if Prika explains it to you, she said between mouthfuls.
The red dragon raised her neck, lifting her head over Vurs to stare at Prika, who was also stuffing her face. Well? How did our late-blooming big sister finally et the love of her life? The other dragons who were sitting around stopped eating and turned to stare at Prika. I think everyone wants to know.
There was an audible gulp as Prika swallowed. Well, you know how things happen, she said and nodded twice. We t at a place, and we hit it off, just like that. Yep. Boos and jeers echoed around the clearing, and Prika snorted twice, exhaling fire from her nostrils. Ah, shut your mouths! I dont have to explain anything to you lot!
The ground trembled as Prikas siblings grumbled, and their gazes landed onto Vurmore specifically, onto the demon sitting atop his head. Tafel froze from the collective gazes, and cold sweat ran down her back. If, if Prika wishes to keep how we t a secret, Im going to respect her wishes. We t at a place and hit it off right away.
Is that so? the red dragon next to Vur said with a sigh. Prika, a century ago, I made this device to help you find a mate, but you never ca ho. Who knew that youd bring ho a mate when you did? I wonder what I should do with that device now; it really does take up a lot of space, but I dont want to throw it away since I spent so much ti on it. Her eyes narrowed and shifted towards Prika, gauging her sisters reaction. After peeking for a bit, she sighed again and shook her head. What a waste, what a waste.
Prikas mouth twitched, and her expression stiffened. Wait, wait, wait. Theres no need to throw away sothing you worked so hard on, right?
Oh? Prikas sisters eyes narrowed into slits. Youre interested in it, huh? I dont think Vur over here would like that very much, would he? She nudged Vur with her front paw, but he didnt react. He was still stuffing his face with food. There seed to be an endless amount in front of him. Err. Would he? She nudged him again.
Tafel licked her lips and swallowed. Yeah, I wouldnt like that at all, she said and gave Prika a mischievous smile. After all, Prika already has . Why would she need another mate, hmm?
Prika glared at Tafel, flas burning within the red dragons eyes. After calming herself down by taking in a few deep breaths, she smiled at Tafel. Even if I dont need a mate anymore, wouldnt it be useful for other dragons we know? Vur has a few cousins, and in just a few centuries, theyll be ready to look for their own mates as well. It wouldnt hurt to test out this device to make sure it functions properly before giving it to them, right?
You say it like my cousins need help finding mates, Tafel said and raised an eyebrow. Theyre quite talented and majestic; they dont need a foreign devices assistance.
The unknown piece of bone in Prikas paws snapped into two parts. What are you trying to imply!?
Whatever do you an? Tafel asked. Youre quite talented and majestic too. Tafel nodded. Thats how you found , right?
Prika muttered a few unintelligible words as she glared at Tafel. Her claws grinded against the pieces of bones in her paws, but the sounds they made were drowned out by the chewing and smacking of lips from the dragons around her. She reached up and nudged Tafel off of Vurs head, causing the demon to squeal as she fell. Prika exhaled through her nostrils and smiled at her sister. So, after dinner, youll let play around with that device? Like you said, itd be a waste for it to never have been used since you put so much ti into it.
Prikas sister stared at Tafel, who was struggling to get out of a pile of at with her feet kicking at the air. Her gaze moved onto Vur, who plucked Tafel out of the food and placed her back onto his head. Then Prikas sister stared at Prika. Well, it cant hurt to show it to you, I guess, she said and shrugged. But first, we have to go through the presents! What did you bring?
Prika puffed her chest out. I brought three seashells.
Prikas sister stared at Prika with a blank expression. So, it looks like youre cleaning up todays ss.
Nope! Prika shook her head and bead while placing a paw on Vurs shoulder. Thats Vurs job since he didnt bring any presents at all.
Actually, Tafel said before anyone could say anything. I brought four seashells, making my present better than yours.
Wait, Prika said, her eyes widening. When did you get those?
I picked them up when you picked them up. Tafel nodded. You did say the bringer of the worst present had to clean.
Prikas expression darkened. Hey, as my mate, you wouldnt let clean all of this by myself, right? She gestured towards the huge valley filled with food. If she had to clean it by herself, shed be stuck her for at least a month.
Tafel shrugged. You shouldnt have skimped out on your presents.
Prika stared at Tafel for a very long ti before finally turning away and sighing. And to think I supported you back then.
