Chapter 6

It was a while later when a large bag fell out of the sky, followed by a shifting dragon that landed lightly on her feet. She smiled tentatively, and seemed to relax when she saw his visage wasn’t upset, or angry.

He’d been giving it all a lot of thought.

“The queen, the princess?”

She looked nervous but nodded.

He grunted, and walked over to give her a welcoming kiss and hug, then he gave her a moment to pull on some riding clothes. She’d been naked after all.

“You’re wound is gone?”

She smiled shyly and nodded, “The transformations heal a lot of damage. If I didn’t heal during a transformation, I’d have bled out long before you found me. I was just really weak from blood loss, but managed to transform as I started to fall out of the sky yesterday afternoon.”

He grunted, and didn’t really want to think about that possibility.

“So let me ask, why do dragons go crazy. I mean, I know it’s only some of them right, so what does it?”

She bit her lip and he took her hand and led her to the fire. They started to eat what he’d prepared earlier, and he let her answer in her own time. Eventually she started to speak, and he loved the soft cadence of her calm voice, although her hard angry voice was kind of sexy too, he just didn’t have plans to ever mention that to her, lest she change it.

He nodded slowly, “Yes.”

She sighed, “So it’s rare, but it does happen where a mate hates dragons so much, they lash out and reject the bond, and their mate. A dragon’s bonded mate keeps us… in balance. Our dragon and human sides. Of course, the other way to lose that bond is if our mate dies. So that’s where the insane dragons come from mostly, those that found, and then lost their bonds.”

He frowned, “Does it always happen?”

She shook our head, “Not always, some of us will fight it, but fighting as you know takes intense focus and force of will. But at the same time a dragon lost her bond, she’d feel the loss of despair, and grief from losing her mate. Not a great combination obviously. It’s very hard to focus or even care when you lose your reason for living. It’s easier to just… give into it, let the pain be swept away by the draconic anger and bloodlust. There are also those that choose to suicide before succumbing. It is rare for a dragon to live long or sane after losing their mate.”

He nodded, “And male children from these unions?”

She shrugged, “You. Mages.”

He choked on a bite of food and
