    A Calm Walk with The Last Musketeer (EOD Episode 4)

    Firenze, Italy

    (This is written like a partial outline/prose)

    Nari and Ashuton walk together, holding hands, as they go to an art gallery hotel to stay for a while. Ashuton made sure his schedule was clear for the weekend.

    Inside the lobby, the receptionist—a Poki dragon, said their room was changed in the system last minute. She said they can still pay normal room price as compensation.

    Ashuton growls but doesn’t make a fuss about it.

    Nari says it’s fine and that they can get a big room next time.

    “Oh it’s big,” said the Poki dragon, “it’s just… one bed.”

    Nari’s eyes went wide and she drops her plushie.

    Ashuton went “ooooh…”

    He takes her by the hand and they go up.

    Buuut she drags him back so she can grab her plushie.

    Later, the both of them lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

    Ash turns over and says “I am really sorry this happened.”

    Nari said “it’s fine. It’s fine.”

    She shifts a little bit, “just trying to resist facilitating… you know…”

    “Oh?” Ashuton raises an eyebrow, “No I don’t know.”

    “Yes you do.”

    “Do I?”

    “Oh stop it. You’re playing dumb on purpose.”

    “Mmmmmmmmmm no I’m not. I don’t know what you could be facilitating.”

    “The S-word.”

    “The S word?”

    “Now I know you’re playing.”

    “This soon?” He taps his chin, “hmmmmmm…”

    “No, not this soon. I’m not doing that.”

    “But you said you were trying to resist facilitating it.”

    “I mean—”

    “Does that mean you think of me highly enough to, hmmmmm,” he gestures his hand around, “engage in said S-word activity?”

    “No—I mean yes—but no I’m not doing that right now.”

    “I know, I know. I’m just honored that you think of me so highly and entrust me with your body that way.”

    Nari covers her face, “Oh my god stop you’re making me blush.”

    “My apologies,” he says in a sing song and kisses her on the lips.

    “I do ask, if we do that… thing… I want it to be all natural.”

    “But, you’d get pregnant? Are you sure?”

    She nods, “Yes. I want to experience all of you without inhibitors.”

    He nods and smiles.

    “We should get going.”

    “Yeah.”

    Outside, they walk around by the water. Caterina hangs on his back,

    They get drinks at a small restaurant-bar, Ash orders draconic alcohol, he says he doesn’t drink often but he’s feeling like causing mayhem today. He turns his back to grab some extra plates off the counter and comes back to half of his drink being gone. He is so shocked, his mouth is wide open. Nari, on the other hand, was smiling wryly and said “I don’t drink either but I want to experience the mayhem with you.”

    He drinks his half, telling her how shocked he is and that it is not meant for humans.

    An hour later and they’re both arguing playfully over who would win a fight. Ash says Nari can’t beat him because he is stronger but she argues she can beat him in other ways, like a battle of wits. Ashuton says his mind is fortified and she scoffs and says “no it’s not.” And he says “yes it is.” And they go back and forth.

    “*hic* no it’s nooooooot.”

    “*hic* yes it *hic* is.”

    Someone says “why not a sword fight?”

    Nari puts her hands up in jest and says “yes!”

    “You would lose in the first five seconds.” He says

    She shakes her head and leans in and says “Nah, I’d win.” (Gojo reference)

    “Yeah. You’d win the award for quickest fail.”

    “I can last ten seconds.”

    “Nari. You can last at much better things.” He says with a smile and taps her on the nose.

    She’s also smiling and says “wanna bet?”

    She leans back and says “ten seconds is all I need.”

    Another person says “I put $10 on Nari lasting ten seconds!”

    And she points at them and says, “see! Someone has faith in me.”

    “Or they have a lot of money to spare,” he says as he takes a sip of orange juice.

    “Let’s set it up in the garden!” Says another person.

    “Yeah!”

    Nari gets up and says “okay! But I’ll need my own costume. I want to dress like a musketeer.”

    Ashuton chokes on his drink as he laughs. “I’ll tell Rico to bring my old outfit.”

    “Wait you just… have that on hand?” She says, confused.

    “Yeah.”

    Rico arrives with the musketeer outfit (hat with a feather included) and Nari gets dressed. Nari gets dressed in the bathroom and comes back out with the costume on. Rico gives her a rapier he brought from home.

    “This is my old trusty weapon. Try not to cut yourself with it, bambina.”

    Nari scoffs, “whatever. You sound like Thomas.”

    “I do?” Rico looks on in bewilderment.

    Nari and Ash take their positions. They withdraw their swords and wait until someone shouts “go!”

    Ash instantly disarms Nari With his sword and as he points the tip at her neck, Nari had put her hands up.

    “Five seconds.” He says.

    Nari frowns. “Bleh.”

    Some folks say “awwwwww.”

    Ash says “you forget, I was born in an era of swords and carriages.”

    He yanks Nari close and leans her down to kiss her.

    Rico rolls his eyes and the crowd cheers for them. Caterina taps her tail on the ground happily.

    Ash flies Nari home, wobbling as he flew. She gives him a good night kiss and he smiles and tells her goodnight.

    A Calm Walk with The Last Musketeer (EOD Episode 4)

    Firenze, Italy

    (This is written like a partial outline/prose)

    Nari and Ashuton walk together, holding hands, as they go to an art gallery hotel to stay for a while. Ashuton made sure his schedule was clear for the weekend.

    Inside the lobby, the receptionist—a Poki dragon, said their room was changed in the system last minute. She said they can still pay normal room price as compensation.

    Ashuton growls but doesn’t make a fuss about it.

    Nari says it’s fine and that they can get a big room next time.

    “Oh it’s big,” said the Poki dragon, “it’s just… one bed.”

    Nari’s eyes went wide and she drops her plushie.

    Ashuton went “ooooh…”

    He takes her by the hand and they go up.

    Nari said “it’s fine. It’s fine.”

    She shifts a little bit, “just trying to resist facilitating… you know…”

    “Oh?” Ashuton raises an eyebrow, “No I don’t know.”

    “Yes you do.”

    “Do I?”

    “Oh stop it. You’re playing dumb on purpose.”

    “Mmmmmmmmmm no I’m not. I don’t know what you could be facilitating.”

    “The S-word.”

    “The S word?”

    “Now I know you’re playing.”

    “This soon?” He taps his chin, “hmmmmmm…”

    “No, not this soon. I’m not doing that.”

    “But you said you were trying to resist facilitating it.”

    “I mean—”

    “Does that mean you think of me highly enough to, hmmmmm,” he gestures his hand around, “engage in said S-word activity?”

    “No—I mean yes—but no I’m not doing that right now.”

    “I know, I know. I’m just honored that you think of me so highly and entrust me with your body that way.”

    Nari covers her face, “Oh my god stop you’re making me blush.”

    “My apologies,” he says in a sing song and kisses her on the lips.

    “I do ask, if we do that… thing… I want it to be all natural.”

    “Yeah.”

    Outside, they walk around by the water. Caterina hangs on his back,

    They get drinks at a small restaurant-bar, Ash orders draconic alcohol, he says he doesn’t drink often but he’s feeling like causing mayhem today.

    “You would lose in the first five seconds.” He says

    She shakes her head and leans in and says “Nah, I’d win.” (Gojo reference)

    “Yeah. You’d win the award for quickest fail.”

    “I can last ten seconds.”

    “Nari. You can last at much better things.” He says with a smile and taps her on the nose.

    She’s also smiling and says “wanna bet?”

    She leans back and says “ten seconds is all I need.”

    Another person says “I put $10 on Nari lasting ten seconds!”

    And she points at them and says, “see! Someone has faith in me.”

    “Or they have a lot of money to spare,” he says as he takes a sip of orange juice.

    “Let’s set it up in the garden!” Says another person.

    “Yeah!”

    Nari gets up and says “okay! But I’ll need my own costume. I want to dress like a musketeer.”

    Ashuton chokes on his drink as he laughs. “I’ll tell Rico to bring my old outfit.”

    “Wait you just… have that on hand?” She says, confused.

    “Yeah.”

    Rico arrives with the musketeer outfit (hat with a feather included) and Nari gets dressed. Nari gets dressed in the bathroom and comes back out with the costume on. Rico gives her a rapier he brought from home.

    “This is my old trusty weapon. Try not to cut yourself with it, bambina.”

    Nari scoffs, “whatever. You sound like Thomas.”

    “I do?” Rico looks on in bewilderment.

    Nari and Ash take their positions. They withdraw their swords and wait until someone shouts “go!”

    Ash instantly disarms Nari With his sword and as he points the tip at her neck, Nari had put her hands up.

    “Five seconds.” He says.

    Nari frowns. “Bleh.”

    Some folks say “awwwwww.”

    Ash says “you forget, I was born in an era of swords and carriages.”

    He yanks Nari close and leans her down to kiss her.

    Rico rolls his eyes and the crowd cheers for them. Caterina taps her tail on the ground happily.

    Ash flies Nari home, wobbling as he flew. She gives him a good night kiss and he smiles and tells her goodnight.

    Dragon’s War: Overture (Long Ver, Part 2)

    This writing is OLD, but still canon to the events of Dragon’s War.

    5

    Dragons Everywhere!

    The signs read WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA. PHOTOGRAPHY IS PROHIBITED. NO TRESPASSING BEYOND THIS POINT. DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED.

    Nobody tried going into Area 51 and the stationary city built fifty miles from it.

    Doctor Conrad Wilson, Director of Research at Area 51, was trying to find an easy way to part with his Dragon, whom he named Brownie.

    Everyone else was concerned about evacuation

    Everyone, but not Conrad, no no no!

    He wanted to take Brownie with him but the moment he removes that collar from the dragon’s neck it will release a strong signal that every dragon will be drawn to. He will have fifteen minutes to escape.

    And the signal will repeat until the Dragonboy feels safe.

    No, Conrad didnt want to say goodbye to his dragon

    It’s no kin to him, it belongs to the Father Dragon!

    The dragonchild was confined in its own room with a window where Doctor Conrad could monitor the creature for his scientific adventures.

    Right now the dragon was a boy, playing with old toys from the early nineteen-seventies. He was hitting them against each other, showing the same insanity that is plaguing his father.

    When Brownie looked at him, those eyes seemed to strike a cord in Conrad.

    He will come for me.

    That’s what the boy said to him, mentally.

    He will come for me.

    Father Dragon will come for his son.

    Conrad stepped into the room, risking his life, to see Brownie face-to-face for one last time.

    The boy could not see the knife he hid in his hand

    He could not see his death approaching.

    “Damocles,” said Conrad.

    That was his true name.

    Damocles Isisle, the rarest of the rare, stolen from the Father Dragon.

    There were hundreds of them, walking as one unit

    Biped, wingless wraiths in-armor clad

    The Young Prince was on their mind

    It was their mission to make sure he was safely saved.

    Conrad hugged his adopted boy–the brown dragon with the little white spots–and he unhooked the chain and removed the collar.

    Damocles became self-aware at that moment

    His thoughts were no longer controlled, he could think for himself

    He knew freedom was walking

    All of the dragons in the vicinity of Area 51 had overpowering pains in their head that soon subsided into a psychic awareness.

    Their objective was alive and in trouble.

    Conrad held the boy down, raising his hand

    The knife was sharpened, ready to reap the innocent life

    “Nobody needs something like you,” said Conrad.

    “Nobody. You are too special. Too rare. Your body keeps making new dragon eggs. You are like the Father Dragon himself!”

    Damocles tried to fight against his attacker,

    Conrad was stronger, driving the knife into the boy’s chest, twice

    He withdrew and plunged

    Withdrew and plunged

    He did not want to do it

    It pained him to create such a bloody mess and destroy such a delicate life

    That pain of death,

    Those fading thoughts,

    They were felt by the platoon of dragons heading towards Area 51.

    The Little Prince was dying.

    6

    Shattering

    Damocles’s heart was shattered.

    It had the knife wounds to prove it.

    Absolute nothingness – memories

    Your mind seems to be fading after centillions of years being alive

    But your body doesn’t allow it to fade completely

    It rebels, it repairs, it survives

    Much to your consternation

    You want to just sleep for a thousand years for once

    You deserve it

    But no


    Whenever your memories fail,

    You rip a crystal from your skin

    This tiny crystal can be squeezed, and it replays a memory you duplicated into this crystal


    You had to do it

    You did this the first time your mind started failing

    You didn’t want to lose important memories

    Memories of Argo, your parents, your children

    So you fired up technology from an ancient, withering outpost

    And you embedded duplicate memories within crystals


    You didn’t trust any physical place to store them,

    For fear of losing these precious gems of life

    So you embedded them into your skin


    Year after year you came back, embedding more crystals

    Wincing as they pierced deep into your flesh and nestled themselves within

    And whenever you felt your mind failing momentarily,

    you would rip one of these crystals, squeeze it, and remember the life you had


    Right now you are watching this memory

    Its you and your boyfriend, giving a toast to your latest pregnancy

    He hugs you tight As you giggle, and plant a sweet kiss upon his cheek


    It’s a lovely memory.

    You wish it were longer.
