Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-01-08 03:27 EST
It was a bright new day at the orphanage. Aurthur was making his usual rounds, checking on his slumbering children, bringing bits of meat for those that were stirring, and tucking those in that were shivering from dream fright or cold. He would not claim to be the world's best father, but he loved what he did, watching the once lost or abandoned children flourish and grow, as he and his mate had not had a chance to do.

A female sentry always seemed to be around when he was making these rounds and his mate was still asleep. She was a lovely young dragoness with scales of the brightest green Aurthur had ever seen on a dragon. She was very feminine, and her body was slender, yet strong. Her name was Isi'kiara, and she had come to them to take the position of guard. She was always friendly, and greeted him with a smile whenever she saw him.

Today was no exception, and he spotted her right after exiting the lair to thrust his head into the falls to wake himself completely.* "Good morning, Aurthur sir." *He pulled his head out of the cascade and smiled at her.* "Good morning, Isi'kiara."

*She seemed nervous for long moments, before she finally spoke again* "Aurthur......Will you take me up?" *Aurthur was baffled by the question* "What do you mean?" *Another moment of hesitation ensued* "Will you take me up........and mate with me?" *He stared at her wide eyed*

"WILL I WHAT"!"

"I've......seen what you and Lady Icer have, and I long for it too.......Your a handsome dragon, and i'd like for you to mate with me." *She was very blunt and to the point, and Aurthur shook his head*

"No Isi'Kiara, I would never dishonor myself, or my mate in such a fashion. She is the love of my life, and I would never betray her. I understand that you may be feeling lonely, but your looking into the wrong place with me.......I'll forget this ever passed, but if you should question me again, I will dismiss you from this orphanage. Good day, Isi'kiara." *He said nothing more, he turned and wandered back into the cave and the private chambers of his mate and himself. He curled around her sleeping form, nuzzling into her neck. He would never betray or hurt her, not even at the cost of his own life.*
