				Anquaresh woke from his sleep, yawned, stretched his wings and opened his eyes.&nbsp; He had been sleeping for quite some time and decided he was hungry.&nbsp; He got to his feet and moved to the entrance of his cave.&nbsp; He blinked a few times in the bright sunlight.&nbsp; He took a deep breath smelling the wind before he launched himself into the air.<br><br>He begins to soar high in the air, keeping to the clouds so his shadow is less obvious.&nbsp; He wasn't ready yet to let the people of the region to know that he was back.

				Linnea Smythe was out in the field, watching over her herd of sheep. She smiled as she watched them. They weren't the brightest creatures, but they were certainly the cutes and the funniest. The lambs milled around at her ankles, and she bent down to run her fingers through their soft short wool. But she rose and glanced around quickly when the adult sheep became restless and agitated. It was not normally in their nature. "What is it? What's wrong?" she asked softly, looking around for the source of their discomfort.

				Anquaresh's forest soon enough gave way to fields and pastures.&nbsp; As he servayed the land he spotted a flock of sheep and a lone shepardess.&nbsp; Curious as to what they were so far away he circled and watched.&nbsp; His curiosity got the better of him as he watched and he found himself drifting lower.&nbsp; He realised his mistake when he saw the sheep grow agitated and began to rise again, but something about the shepardess caught his attention.&nbsp; His increase in altitude suddenly became a silent dive, his wings tucked in against his side, his mouth gaping.&nbsp; If the girl were to look him it would be frightening sight, but at the same time an odd one since the lower he came the smaller he became until he was about the size of a very large dog.<br><br>He lands behind the woman, his presence drives the sheep in the other direction, which he uses as a distraction to sneak up on the young woman as she chases after them.&nbsp; The one thing about humans that he had always loved was that they had somehow given up their instincts.&nbsp; The sheep, even though they couldn't see him, knew that a predator was about.&nbsp; Humans though, might get a prickling in the back of their neck but they generally ignored it.&nbsp; He found it fascinating, and this one was even more interesting.<br><br>Before she had gone too far he spoke, his voice was deep and rolling, "Don't worry, Pretty, they will not go so far you cannot catch them later.&nbsp; I think it might be me they are fleeing, but they trust you and will return if you wait, when I am gone."<br><br>Upon turning towards his voice she would see a smallish winged reptile coming up to her waist.&nbsp; He had emerald green top scaled and azure belly scales.&nbsp; His long sinuous tale came to a blunt point.&nbsp; He had horns similar to a yak's and wings.&nbsp; He looked much like dragons did in legends but that's all they had ever been. Dragons were something from long ago.&nbsp; While his expression was difficult to read it almost looked amused.

				Linnea jumped and screamed when the unexpected voice reached her ears. When her gaze lit on the creature before her, Linnea started backing away in the same direction her sheep had gone. "Wh...wh...whoo are you? Wh....what are you?" She had an idea about what it was, but it was so short...and small.<br><br>Her resolve strengthened...surely he could not catch her....not with her having the element of surprise and he couldn't be too strong. Without warning, Linnea turned and started running as fast as she could.

				The dragon began bounding after her.&nbsp; He had misjudged, hoping that inquisitiveness would take the front over flight and had given her more distance than he otherwise might have.&nbsp; It didn't really help her except that now he had to actually work.&nbsp; After a few bounds he spread his wings and took flight.&nbsp; It slowed him for a moment, but after a few flaps it was more than enough to make it up.<br><br>Several more flaps and he had caught up to her.&nbsp; He flew along beside her, "Where are we going, Pretty?&nbsp; You don't need to catch your sheeps, and anyway, you passed most of them because they scattered."<br><br>Yes, he thought to himself, she was a very exciting person.

				Linnea slowed long enough to glance over her shoulder. All right, so he wasn't after her sheep...he too had passed them. "What do you want?" she asked finally. "Please, just go away and leave me and my sheep alone," Linnea stammered, stepping back a few inches and resting.

				The dragon follows her, stopping when he does, not letting her out of a certain distance so she can't run so easily again.&nbsp; He looks at her with an appraising look in his eye as he walks around her.&nbsp; Infact he hardly seems to stop moving.&nbsp; Either he's jesturing with a hand or pacing.<br>"Why Pretty, it isn't obvious?&nbsp; I want you!&nbsp; Won't you come with me?&nbsp; You don't need to worry about your sheep any more.&nbsp; I'll take care of them for you." the lick of his lips suggested in what way they might be taken care of.

				Linnea shook her head. "Oh, I can't. I can't leave my sheep unattended. And despite your words, I quite fear you will eat my sheep. I can't have that. No, I can't. Besides, if you're taking me somewhere, you can't take care of them. No. I fear it's quite impossible."

				With a growl he leaps ontop of her, perhaps it was the fact his mouth was very near her face, but he seemed bigger.&nbsp; He wasn't hurting her, yet, but he was definitly heavier than he seemed.<br>"Impossible?!&nbsp; You think you can tell ME what is impossible, Pretty?" his lips were curled, giving her a good view of his teeth, "You have the FEAR part right, you WILL fear and you will learn just what is possible for me to do.&nbsp; I think I need to teach the people here to respect their betters.&nbsp; Only a few centuries ago one such as you would have BEGGED to come with me.&nbsp; I told you, you do not need to worry about your sheep, as I shall take that responsibility, and you need not worry how."&nbsp; His tail lashed behind him as he stood over her, pinning her shoulders to the ground.

				Linnea's blond curls fanned out on the ground around her head, her breathing hard and heavy as she stared up at him. A scream erupted before she could stop it, the sight of his teeth telling her he was capable of shredding her to pieces. She squirmed uselessly, his grip much stronger than any fight she could give.

				Her struggling, her scream, all seemed to please the dragon.&nbsp; "Yes, Pretty, you KNOW, even if you've forgotten.&nbsp; It is in your blood, Pretty.&nbsp; Dragons are your masters, even if we sleep once in a while, you might forget, but your people always remember."<br>His long tongue flicked out of his mouth, tasting her cheek, her sweat, her fear.&nbsp; It excited him to have his pray squirm under him, but this one he wasn't going to eat.<br><br>Instead, he slipped a claw down her bodice and tore it open, leaving her chest bare.&nbsp; His claw slid down her chest and belly, lightly reddening the soft flesh before it hooked into her skirt and tore that open as well, baring her body to him. "My, Pretty, but you are quite delectible for a human aren'y you?&nbsp; With a body like this one it is a shame to hide it under clothes.&nbsp; I think you should stay like this.&nbsp; Atleast until you show me you deserve to wear clothes."

				Linnea sucked in a breath as he tore away her clothes, laying her bare to the elements and anyone who might be foolish enough to brave facing a dragon. She whimpered softly, she had never thought of herself as delectable, who would think of themselves in that way? Delectable...she shook her head frantically. "No....you're not going to eat me," she cried out, her fight breaking out anew with vigor.

				He curled his claws around her as she struggled again, letting her feel them pricking her flesh.&nbsp; He rumbles softly, "You are trying to tell me what I am going and not going to do again.&nbsp; I do not plan to eat you, for now but if you make yourself to be too much trouble I just may."&nbsp; His tongue slides over her chest, "No, I think I will take you home with me and you can be my pet.&nbsp; Like your sheep.&nbsp; Wouldn't that be fun, Pretty?"

				Linnea screamed again, even though she knew it was hopeless, no one was ever near enough to her field to hear her. A tear streaked down her right cheek as she cringed, feeling his rough tongue trail across her body. She knew there was no hope or help for her now, she could only make the best of things. A pet. Merciful heavens. "I...I don't know."

				When he feels her stop struggling he holds her against his cold scales, "Of course it will, Pretty.&nbsp; You will see.&nbsp; Don't wiggle too much now or I might drop you.&nbsp; Neither of us wants that, do we?"<br><br>Before she can respond, he unfolds his wings and launches himself into the air.&nbsp; Once off the ground and away from trees and obstacles he suddenly grows to the size of a house.&nbsp; He wheels and makes his way to his cave, "You see, Pretty?&nbsp; Isn't this fun?&nbsp; If you are good, you can fly with me any time."<br><br>Down below someone HAD heard her cries and seen her assaulted by the dragon.&nbsp; The young boy ran home when he saw the beast fly away, taking Linnea with him.&nbsp; He tried to tell his parents but they wouldn't listen and thretend him for making stories so instead he ran to town, trying to find someone who might just believe him.

				Linnea was certain she would lose the contents of her stomach as she was dragged in to the air. And her casual glance when the dragon grew to full size did not help her at all. Tears streaked down her cheeks, and she didn't care if she ever flew again. But she wouldn't tell him that. No, she couldn't give the dragon any chance to know any of her weaknesses.

				Cradeling her gently in one arm, he uses his other claw to point, "That is your old home isn't it, Pretty?&nbsp; And look, there are your sheep."<br>Once he got to hight he flew more gently.&nbsp; It was more or less a straight line to his mountain cave where he lands.&nbsp; He continues to hold her with one arm as he entres the cave, "And this, Pretty, is my new home.&nbsp; Now, you were good while we flew, but I think if I put you down here you might try to run away and then I would have to catch you and then I would have to punish you.&nbsp; I don't think either of us would like that.&nbsp; Maybe when you are well trained we can go out, but for now, we will stay inside together so that you can get used to it." he continues walking as he talks.&nbsp; The cave, after several meters, opens to a huge cavern.&nbsp; There are torch brackets on stalagmites, they are unlit currently.&nbsp; He sets her down, "Well, I think that is enough excitement for today, I will take a small nap for now Pretty.&nbsp; If you go farther back you will find many things you can play with.&nbsp; Are you hungry?"

				Was he kidding? She was still trying to settle her stomach from flying through the air. "N...no, not really," she replied. She glanced around him, wondering if she could make it past him once he was asleep. But it appeared not, and Linnea sighed sadly. She didn't want to play either, but perhaps once she was away from him, she might find a spot to sleep or at least rest.

				The word spread like the wind, A DRAGON IS UPON THE LAND. It was the worst of all word anyone could say. No one liked them. Wolves or bears were danger enough, but they were land beasts and mostly feared people. However&nbsp; a dragon? Why it was never afraid and was of the sky. No telling where it would come from. <br><br>The word reached the lord of the land the same day as the girl had been whisked away.&nbsp; The lord really didn’t care much that a present girl had been taken it mattered little to him. But the idea of such a beast in his land would cause panic and disorder among his people and that spelled empty pockets. <br><br>He called his two best knights, Sir Weatherford and Sir Sandoval, to him. They were both charged to find the dragon’s cave and bring back the location. The army would kill it. <br><br>And so Hal Sandoval, the young latin lad at age 20 went out to find his first dragon. <br><br>

				When the boy pointed upward toward the mountains Hal looked hard. Somewhere up there had to be a cave but finding it would be a task. He had been told that some dragons had magical powers to cast spells to hide a cave. He had also been told dragons had a second sense known when someone was close to its lair. Some even had treasures that were worth a good deal. <br><br>His ride up into the timberline was easy enough but soon after he ran into a steep incline. Now it was by foot upward. He took with him his broadsword a small shield and two days rations. <br><br>

				The lad Hal, did note the trails but they weren’t what he really wanted to see as dragons generally flew to get about. The trails, however, afforded him a way up into the difficult forest. As he made his way upward&nbsp; he was hoping to see signs of a kill or dragon scat witch was generally easily seen. However he saw nothing, nothing at all. <br><br>About evening the lad decided to make a quick camp. A small fire would do and a stump for his head. He would settle down for the night with a hopeful heart still. He had a paramount need to gain a fine repartition as the Lords best knight, thus attracting the finest damsels of astounding beauty. Why else would a man take on a dragon? <br><br>

				At first he took off after her, but stopped, cocking his head.&nbsp; He instead made sounds of giving chace.&nbsp; At the entrance to his cave he counted to five before launching himself out, roaring and belching flame, making quite a display in the night sky.&nbsp; He circled around in the air, following the path, he presumed she was taking the path because the other choice was to plummet to her death from sheer cliffs.<br><br>Just as Hal was ready to sleep there was a bellowing roar and the sky was lit up by fire.&nbsp; A few moments later a beautiful, young woman came crashing through the bush in to him.

				What the girl was frantically saying didn’t make any common sense to Hal. Dragons eat people never taking them as prisoner. He, however, didn’t argue the point as an immediate danger was at hand. <br><br>“Go run, I will defend your path away from this place,” he shouted. He knew his duty as a knight. It was to defend and protect. So he stood ready with sword and shield in hand knowing it could be his last day alive. <br><br>

				Linnea gulped nervously, her eyes flashing with fear as she studied him. She didn't want him to trade her life for hers, but he was armed and could possibly defend himself. She gave him a quick nod and said, "Please be careful and come back," before fleeing through the bushes, running as quickly as she could.

				The dragon, for his part, was flying around the mountain to come up the path.&nbsp; Linnea wouldn't get far before she could hear the crunching of stone and something heavy walking along the mountain side, "Yes, come to me, Pretty.&nbsp; That's a good girl.&nbsp; Don't worry about the dragon hunter.&nbsp; He is still a boy.&nbsp; Maybe we should take him too.&nbsp; It would be fun, wouldn't it?&nbsp; To have two pets."<br>He was however a little concerned, why did this 'dragon hunter' have no magic.&nbsp; Either he was very, very good or very, very naive.&nbsp; If it was the former he would have to be careful, if it was the latter he was very concerned for the state of affairs in the kingdom.

				Linnea's eyes widened when she heard the heavy crunching. She turned her head slowly, her lips parting as she opened her mouth to scream, loudly. Then Linnea started running again, faster than before. Maybe the fellow she had just met would hear her screams and know which the direction the dragon was in. But only if he could do so without losing his life.

				The dragon was plesently surprised when the young knight didn't back down, but held his ground instead.&nbsp; This knight was either very brave or not so bright, he felt optimistic.&nbsp; However he didnt think this was the best place to test the knight's metle and didn't think the knight could be persuaded into going to his cave.&nbsp; So, reluctantly because it took some of his energy, he used magic.&nbsp; He growled loudly, a draconic spell to paralise the knight.&nbsp; He pulled the sword from his hand and tossed it down the side of the cliff.&nbsp; It would hurt because the young man's muscles didn't want to move, but a little pain was better then death, the dragon thought.&nbsp; He tucked the frozen knight under his arm and carried him up the mountain, sniffing for Linnea, "Pretty, come out, I've got your knight.&nbsp; Even if you hide I will still find you, but I will be very displeased with you.&nbsp; Come out and it will be better for you, I promise."

The only thing on it was a metal ring. <br><br>Hal moved to the cage and glared back at the beast, "you should not treat people as this." <br><br>He stepped into the cage and went to the rear.&nbsp;

				The dragon was amused by Hal's statement, "And how should people be treated?&nbsp; I have, in my time, seen you humans do no less to your kind and many other kinds." he unlocks Linnea and ushers her into the cage with Hal, "I am treating you no different than how you treat yourselves."<br>One aspect of the collars he hadn't mentioned was an aphrodesiac effect they had.&nbsp; The effect was subtle but quite persistant.&nbsp; It was supposed feel natural.

				Linnea awkwardly made her way into the cage, her legs shaking as she did so. She barely managed to not fall over against Hal.

				Hal reached out to the girl as she entered to cage. “Here take the corner my lady.” He felt it the best place to try to defend the girl, being a honorable knight that he was.

				The dragon, for his part, turned the lights low, not completely off, but low enough so the two could see each other in the dark.&nbsp; He watched, wondering how the little surprise would turn out.

				Linnea gladly accepted the corner, partly hidden behind the knight. "Thank you," she said softly.

				As the maiden slid behind Hal, something stirred in him, a fluttering in his belly. He shrugged it off as being a result of fear and perhaps the cow he jus ate. He didn’t know how the callor was already effecting him.

				Linnea sat down in the corner, her only view that of the knight's back. Her gaze slid a little lower and her breath caught in her throat. Linnea blinked. What on earth was she thinking about?

				Hal set across from the girl. Looking at her from time to time, he had the urge to touch her. He didn't know what to do about his growing need. <br><br>"I am sorry I was unable to defend you, my lady. I am ashamed of my poor showing."
