What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon

“I know,” Mikayla said of his protest. As she continued to stroke his head.?
?
“Thank you,” she said as Angus returned with the items she requested. “And no Angus. Not magic it all. He is actually not letting me. I just do not care what he thinks at the moment.” She said gracing Angus with a sly wink. “I know my touch soothes him. I can tell by the dip of his eyes as I stroke him downward. So I am listening to his needs not his vibrato.”
?
“Please light a few incense please.” She said?“And then I need food for him please. First a soup with rice. And the something hardier like potatoes and then meat.” She said to Angus “if you please kind sir.”

Moving away from the dragon, ?she dipped the cloth in the pail. When she returned to him,?As she ran the warm cloth over his head and neck,?she began to Singing a soft gentle lullaby her beautiful honey voice rang out ?like music throughout the room. (Angus, The Dragon) Angus bowed his head in acknowledgement to Mikayla's request.? "At once, mistress." He walked to a large cabinet on the other side of the room, where he obtained a trio of ornate brass incense burners and a handful of mustard-colored incense sticks. Moving about the room, he placed the burners in locations best suited to take advantage of the air currents, lighting three sticks in each one.? Soon the sweet soothing smell of sandalwood began to fill the room. "I will go and prepare the food now, mistress," he said, bowing once again and then heading for the door. ? He couldn't help the hopeful smile that had appeared on his face but did his best not to let Mikayla see it, keeping his head averted as he departed the room. "You're rather arrogant for a girl who was fleeing through the woods just a day ago," the Dragon murmured, a deep rumble vibrating through his scales. He half-wanted to open an eye just so he could roll it at her impudence... but her touch felt too good to interrupt.? That, and her singing was making him sleepy.? But he had to say _something_.? "And I am so letting you do this.? I could eat you, you know."? He sighed contentedly when her fingers stroked a particularly pleasurable spot along his eye ridge.? "I just... I just don't feel like it at the moment, that's all." Tag - Mikayla |

I’m almost sure I would be too tough and gamey, you definitely will not enjoy devouring me as much and you will like this.” She continued to stroke and caress him, her hands roaming over his back to his ears to his snout.? “Are you still in pain?”

"No eating you... today."? He shifted under Mikayla's stroking hands, settling into a more comfortable position.? His scales seemed to relax and even grow warmer beneath her touch. "Some," he said in answer to her query, his eyes remaining closed. "Though not as much.? It was excruciatingly painful at first, but I can feel some of the effects starting to diminish."

"But I am glad Angus was able to persuade you to return," the Dragon went on after a moment.? "I know you did not want to.?

And to show you the extent of my gratitude,” she said rubbing firmly behind his ear. “I will continue.” And she continued to run her hands over his body. “Well Maybe now you have learned a valueable lesson about the importance of respect and honest. “ she said referring to his comment that she should have kept reading.?

I chose to come back to your keep just as sure as I choose to come and soothe you now. so I guess the answer to your question is only if I choose to. And based on your stank attitude I choose not too.” She still continued to rub. “And as for singing...i will just have teach you as part of your new studies. Lesson one.

But you are right," she said as she moved to the main barrel where Angus had left the soup, she took the large ladle out and moved back to him. "But you are right, you are not an ogre, i insult ogre by using them to describe you."? She teased? ? "I plan to help you eat by using this," she said dipping the ladle into the ceramic bowl.

I swear you remind me of..." he stopped in mid-sentence, as if a memory had suddenly resurfaced and then just as quickly faded away again "...of something like a manticore, but...isn't," he finished lamely. He tried to retrieve whatever the memory had been, but it was like reaching for something whose outlines he could not quite make out. It seemed important, somehow. But beyond his reach. "I can feed myself," the Dragon protested, reaching weakly for the ladle the girl was holding out, the delicious smell tantalizing his nostrils and making his mouth water. The effort though was too much and his taloned forearm fell back to the dias without the ladle in hand. "Oh, very well," he sighed, grumpily giving Mikayla a resigned but still stubborn look.?

(The Dragon) "I do not... require drink..." the Dragon managed between swallows as Mikayla ladled the soup with its generous chunks of chicken into his mouth. It felt good going down his throat and even better when it hit his stomach.? He'd been hungrier than he'd realized, the pain from the aborted transformation having overridden every other sensation he might've had. "I suppose Angus is a good cook," the Dragon admitted grudgingly as Mikayla fed him the last few ladles of the soup.? "For a former hound, anyway."? Resting his chin on his forepaws, he was quiet for a long moment, eyes closed as if in meditation. After a while, one eye opened to peer at Mikayla.? "Just out of curiosity," he murmured, "do you think you might be willing to... perhaps... give the book another try?? Not now," he added quickly, "but... in the future?" ? The Dragon went silent, regarding her quietly as he waited for her response.? Again, something about the girl seemed to gnaw at the edges of his memory, but every time he reached for it, it slipped away, retreating into an impenetrable fog. Tag - Mikayla |

Dipping it in water, she whipped his face. Then place the ladle and the towel down. She tried not to smirk at his gruff demeanor.? It made her wonder if his grumpy Gus role was all an act. After all he was the big bad dragon of the keep wasnt he? She supposed he couldn’t have her thinking that he might actual have a softer side. She smiled. “Of course I would. I mean now that I know what you were intending. I can definitely try again when you feel up to it.” Mikayla said sitting down on the floor cross legged before him. |

(The Dragon) "Good," the Dragon said, resting his head back on top of his folded paws once again.? "I need a few days rest to completely recover, but in the meantime, there is something you can at least try." As if responding to some silent call, Angus appeared in the doorway to the chamber, cradling a book in his arms.? It was not as big or formidable-looking as the book she'd first been given but he held it with care. "Angus has brought you a primer on basic magic," the Dragon said, nodding towards the serving man.? "He will show you a room where you can practice your reading some of the simpler spells." He paused in thought for a moment, then continued, looking up at Mikayla with one large reptilian eye.? "The key thing is not to try and read the words or even pronounce them. Just look at them and let your spirit form the words in your mouth. Do this a little bit at a time, until you grow comfortable with it.? The words will sound like nonsense when you hear them spoken out loud, but pay no mind to that.? Just let them flow and immerse yourself in the rhythm of them, until the time comes when you will feel the magic emerge from within you."? "Start with something simple. Like conjuring a cup of tea," the Dragon added, his mouth quirking wryly.? "When you can do that, come back and we'll see what else you can do." With that, the Dragon closed his eyes and was instantly asleep, his breathing resonating with a deep sonorous rumble. ? "If you'll come with me, Mistress Mikayla," Angus said, motioning towards the doorway, "I'll show you to the room you may practice in." The usually somber servant looked visibly impressed.? "He must think highly of you, mistress," the man said as they went out into the hallway.? "This is his own personal primer that he composed from his own studies." Tag - Mikayla |

That it would harm you. Turn your heart cold. And so far it seemed a bit true...look at the dragon. What it did to him. It made him into a dragon turned him cruel...made Angus a man.

He scratched his chin, looking thoughtful for a long moment as he pondered the question. ? "To be honest, mistress," he said finally, looking back to Mikayla, "I'm not sure. As a man, I feel like I've dreamed that I was a dog, but that it was only a dream. But as a dog, I feel like I've dreamed that I was a man." He shrugged and began leading the way down the corridor.? "And so now, I wonder if I'm a dog dreaming that he's a man, or if I'm a man dreaming that he's a dog." He chuckled to himself as he favored her with a sidelong glance.? "I do know one thing, mistress.? A man definitely eats better than a dog." The room in question was on the next floor up.? It had windows and a balcony that let in a lot of natural light, but also had sizeable candelabras if light in the evening was required.

But I do know where the Master kept everything that he used in his research. And I might be able to keep you from repeating some of his more... unfortunate... missteps." "But either way," he bowed again, "I am yours to command, Mistress." ?- Mikayla - “Thank you Angus. You presence is comforting.” She said letting go of his hand and beginning to pace. “To be honest, I think he is wrong. I am not magical in nature. I have never done anything magical in my life. I do not know why he began to change. I think there was some sort of mistake. Doing this... I...I feel like if I get this wrong I will hurt him more or worst I do not want to do that.” She sighed coming to stop her pacing before the book. Slowly she ran her hand over it. Feeling the leather under her fingertips. ?it felt electric. Looking up at the man before her she said “Do you think this is wise Angus. For me to do this?” _._,_._,_

Feeling the leather under her fingertips. ?it felt electric. Looking up at the man before her she said “Do you think this is wise Angus. For me to do this?” (Angus) "I trust the Master, mistress," Angus said simply.? "I do not think he would have asked this of you if he did not truly believe you have the ability."? Watching her run her fingers cover the book, he looked thoughtful. "I know almost nothing about the ways of magic, but the Master did try to explain some things about it to me. He said that it can be like a hot coal buried beneath the ash in a hearth seemingly cold.? But all it takes is for the right breath of wind to come along, clear away the ash, and fan it to life. He must believe that that spark exists within you, mistress.? And there is, of course, the evidence in the unfortunate mishap that transpired earlier." "Is it wise, mistress?"? The servant scratched at his beard for a moment.? "I think the Master knows the risks. Has good reason to, actually.? But it seems to me that he trusts you, at least enough to risk it again."? He looked directly into Mikayla's eyes.? "I know not if it's wise, but I do know that it's necessary.? Otherwise the Master must stay a dragon, and the other---" he stopped suddenly, looking as if he had been about to say something but realized he shouldn't "...and he doesn't want that. Not at all, mistress." Tag - Mikayla |

?- Mikayla - Mikayla sighed and began to pace again. "That is what I mean, Angus. Do you have any idea how much tremendous pressure that is to put upon me? Me. Someone who has never done magic before ever in my life and now I am suddenly not only master it, but master it enough to be the savior to your master needs to save both you and he." She turned then, covering her face. "it just feels too much," She whispered. "But I am supposed to trust the master. I do not even know the master. All I know is that when I am with him he soothes and calms me. And I do not know why. And now that he is not here my mind and world is in turmoil." She started pacing again. "What if I do something wrong? What if I mess up like before? What if I hurt him again? It is just too much," she said turning from him so that he did not see the tears that formed in her eyes.?A shuttered sigh left her then and she put her hands together clasped under her chin.? With her back to him, she took a deep breath, wipe the tear from her eyes,?before turning back to him. Moving she came to stand before the book. Nodding Mikayla squared her shoulders and opened it to the first page.? |
