My Heaven

-Girls Night Out-

By Michael James

(During the war of the 4 brothers)

Part 1

Inebriated

In her bedroom,

early one morning...

“You want to go to a club?” Rapier looked at her brother saying she wanted to live a little bit. “Uncle Wessex would not approve of this.” Wessex wasn't around to debate this. “Okay fare enough, I will make it happen.” Kenneth turned and left her room. When the door closed Rapier was thinking, yes! She went into her closet to find an outfit. A bit later her wife came in asking if they got permission.

“Yes we did. Tell me, do you think this skirt is to short.” Emma looked at her and said yes it was. “Oh, well you need to find something to wear as well.”

In the city,

at a popular club...

“We are closed sir, we open at 9.” Kenneth told the employee this was business. “Wait you are lord Kenneth? My lord please excuse my rudeness, how can I be of help?”

“Their majesties want to come here tonight.” He laughed thinking this was a joke. “Why do you laugh?” He looked Kenneth in the eye saying this was no place for the two queens. He was laughing because he knew he was joking. “I assure you I am not jest.” His face went from happy to shocked. “I've been all over the city, this was the place most recommended.” Of course he was happy to welcome them. But this wasn't court, it was a place of... “I know what kind of place this is.”

At night,

around 10pm...

“You need to promise you will stay with Vala. I mean both of you!” Emma was just as excited as Rapier. They told Kenneth they would stay with Vala. He mainly wanted this because it was to crowded for soldiers. The girls were taken to the club and were stopped by the bouncer. He was sure he had seen their faces before, but still let them in.

In the club...

“Well, what do you want to do first” asked Emma. Then a guy walked behind her and felt her butt. “Hello!” She said to herself. Rapier looked at her and said she wanted to dance. Vala almost broke the guys arm, but this was a club it was going to happen often.

As the girls walked to the dance floor. They saw a girl taking her top off. Rapier was thinking wow this was different. She took Emma's hand and they just moved with the music. A bit later, a guy walked up to them and asked if he could buy Rapier a drink.

“Absolutely, but she needs a drink as well.” He welcomed the fact he was talking to two women. They walked up to the bar. He ordered 3 drake waters, which was like whiskey, but stronger. Rapier sipped hers and thought this tasted awful. Emma however, slugged the whole shot. “Sweety, you can really put it away.”

“Excuse me, could you look at me” asked the guy? Rapier did as requested. “I swear I've seen your face before. Both of you, what are your names?” They preferred not to identify themselves. “You must be nobility or something then.” Something like that. Rapier asked the barkeeper for a sweet drink.

This was the guy her brother interviewed earlier. He served her a liquor and kept quiet. After 3 of the drinks Rapier was feeling loopy. Emma was smashed too. Vala was clear in the head, and the guy buying them drinks was pretty drunk as well.

The next morning...

“Oh man, my head” said the guy. He moved his hand and felt a breast. He moved his other hand and felt a thigh. He smiled as he sat up. His hangover wasn't that bad. He was feeling quite accomplished that was in bed with two women. Until he looked at Emma and realized who she was. He looked to the other side and saw Rapier.

“WHAT THE ACTUAL FU..!”

Part 2

Hangover

After he screamed...

“Oh, my head hurts like I got hit with a mallet. Please don't scream again” muttered Rapier. He looked around his surroundings and realized he was in Thier bedroom. Emma sat up asking why he screamed like that? Kenneth came running in wanting to know why they were yelling. “Brother, I'm not wearing a top, get out!”

“Am I going to be put to death!?” Kenneth went outside asking both girls to put something on. The guy was freaking out like a cat seeing a hungry wolf. “Your majesties, I swear I don't know what I was thinking getting in bed with you two. Please I have dragons that depend on me. I...” Emma told him to please stop shouting!

“I thought you were very good last night Rick.” His name was actually Nick. He was fuzzy on the events of last night. “We didn't do it the traditional way, so relax.” He couldn't relax, he was in bed with the two queens. There was a knock on the door. Kenneth told them to get dressed they had to go to court.

“Yes brother.” Rapier stood up wearing nothing. Nick couldn't help but see her beauty. Emma asked the big guy what he was staring at? He swore it was nothing. They got up and put on underwear. Informing Kenneth they were ready to be dressed. Kenneth asked if the guy was dressed? “He has his boxers on.”

As Nick was escorted out of the room. Kenneth pinned him to the wall, asking if he knew, not to tell a soul? Nick nodded yes, and said no one would know. Then off you go.

As he went into their chamber they were almost done getting dressed. He asked “did your majesties get your fill?” Emma, thought it was amusing the way he reacted. Rapier was a little flustered that he was staring at her. “I hope you both know this cant happen again?”

“Why not” asked Rapier?

“Because your council wants my head for letting it happen. Also what were you thinking bringing a guy home with you!?” Rapier told him she enjoyed dancing at the club. She was going to go again. “Little fencer, those who serve under you are pis...”

In the throne room,

the last addressed citizen...

“My family is facing a crisis, my queens.” Go on. “We have a sick son, he needs special medicine.” What kind of medicine? “Natural nectar.” What was his sons condition? “He may lose his arm if not treated soon.” They would get the medicine, what was he offering? “My son is a good fighter, he would make an excellent soldier.”

“Very well, I will grant the medicine. Speak to our councilman tomorrow morning.” He bowed to them and left. The girls stood up and the room took the knee. “Lets go to our room Emma.” As they walked down the hall Emma whispered in her ear. Were they going to sneak out and go dancing again? Rapier looked at her with a smile and nodded. And when night fell, the queens used the escape tunnel to get to the city. They went to the same club and started to dance.

“Milady’s?”

“Nick! Its good to see you again. Who did you bring with you?” He introduced his friends. 3 very muscular boys. To the girls they were oo la la, but they weren't stupid about this either. The biggest boy told Nick that he was pleased he didn't lie after all. “Who are your friends Nick?” He was melancholy and silent.

“Do you lovely ladies want to go to a real party?” Emma told them to leave. They were enjoying the club more. “Come on don't be like that. I swear you will have a good time.” Rapier was becoming scared of them. “Okay if that's the way you want it. We are going to find some baby dragons and hurt them.”

A switch went off in Rapier's head. They were going to hurt baby dragons! It was an unforgivable threat. Emma was feeling the same way. And these 3 guys were acting very smug.

“So what's it going to be?”

“Emma take the pis.., I'll take the shi...” They attacked the boys and the whole club backed away. Emma beat the hell out of the smaller two boys. Rapier pulled out a dagger she had under her skirt. She wasn't as successful with him as Emma was with his friends. He disarmed her and fractured her arm. Nick got on top of him and pulled the guy off her. He swung around and hurt Nick's leg.

As the guy moved back, his sights went to Rapier and he found blades to his neck. Kenneth just arrived with a dozen soldiers. Rapier wasn't going to cry in public but her eyes were tearing up.

Part 3

An injury

In their bedroom closet,

after her cast was put on...

“Please stop crying love.” Rapier told Emma that she was useless. They could have gotten killed or abducted. Vala knocked on the door saying her uncle was here. Rapier froze in terrified fear. Emma told Vala that this was not a good time for a lecture.

“My queens, are you dressed?” Wessex asked with a concerned tone and not in anger. Emma took off her top saying that she wasn't descent. “Please make time for me later. I will scald you both, but that's days away. I just need to know you are okay.” Vala wagered they lied about their modesty. She opened the door and Wessex got a good look. Before she covered herself with her hands.

“Dammit Vala!” Wessex turned away as fast as he could. Telling Vala what she did was subject to a beating! “Please forgive me your majesty” Vala shouted slamming the door shut.

“Sweetheart dress yourself.” Emma put her shirt back on and Rapier put on clothes over her underwear. “I'm coming out uncle.” Wessex faced the other way as the door opened. Rapier walked out feeling quite ashamed. “Uncle please scald me and get it over with.”

“Very well, do you understand that...”

After he yelled at her,

for several minutes...

“I'm honestly, just glad you are okay.” She stood there feeling great shame. She told him she would retire now. Wessex had threatened to put a watch on her if she did this again. She went back in the closet with Emma. Who came out to hold her hand as he shouted. Wessex left the room and told Vala to watch her like a hawk.

In the privet cells,

of the castle...

“Oh yeah, we really showed the queens a good time.” The guy in charge was resting off his whipping. While his friends were thinking about, just how dead they were. One shouted to the boss what were they thinking? Would they had ever lived after they took the queens home. Meanwhile in the cell next door. Nick was writing a last will. Thinking about how he really messed up. Soldiers came to Nick's door and told him to come with them. “You better not rat us out maggot!”

In front of Wessex...

“I don't think I need to tell you how serious this is.” Nick was on his good knee asking if he was to be killed. “What do you think?” He wrote a will, would it at least make its way to the right people? “I will honor your request after you tell me every detail.”

“Those guys preyed on me. I would find beautiful women and they would move in. Talk them into going back to their place for rough sex. After they were done with the girls, they would throw them into the street. Sometimes wearing nothing at all. Which other guys waited to move in on when that time came.”

Then in walked,

queen Rapier...

“Uncle, I will defend him.”

“I'm sure he appreciates your sympathies, but...” She apologized, she was the queen and took orders of court from no one. “Your majesty...” Was that not the case or was she wrong? “What would you have done about him?” He would work for her as a servant until such time she released him. “The queen has spoken, put him in servant garments.” The room cleared out and Rapier stood looking at uncle.

“Please forgive me for arguing with you in front of your court. May I ask why you are taking pity on him?” Rapier said he had noble blood. “Sorry?”

“When the time comes for me and Emma to produce eggs. The two of us decided he would be our consort.” Wessex thought for a second, and realized it would work. A no name name noble who no one would miss. Very well, he would make the court approve.

Days later...

“Your majesties, the prisoners.” The 3 boys were in terrible shape. They were covered in lashes and bruises. The boss was missing several teeth. Emma knew this wasn't Rapier's cup of tea. She spoke out and ordered them to death.

“You stupid... you know... what we will do...” The boss couldn't even talk right his jaw hurt so bad. Emma told Kenneth to take him out and behead him now. “WE SEE!” He jumped up and charged Rapier on her throne. She took her silver sword and ran his heart through.

Part 4

Nick's role

After the incident...

“Way to go” Emma told Rapier when they got back to their room. She looked Emma in the eye. Killing a man was heavy on the heart. “I know you aren't used to that ever since count...

“DO NOT SAY HIS NAME!” Emma backed off and apologized. She asked what she wanted to do now? “I want to talk to our consort.” Emma smiled thinking this would be fun.

An hour later,

after they got all pretty...

“Your majesties, I thank you for not...” He said entering the room. Once he looked at them with make up on and questionable clothes. “May I ask what is going on here?” Emma asked if really needed them to spell this out for him? “I think I know what's happening. I just need assurance.” Rapier told him that his new job was to be a male consort. “You cant be serious, there is no way I'm that lucky?”

“Are you coming to bed or not” asked Emma?

-The Visit-

By Michael James

Part 1

I'm screwed

In the bedroom,

of the Queens...

“Exactly, how is this going to work” Nick asked? Emma told him it wasn't that hard to figure out. They needed eggs and he was their consort. “Actually what I meant was...” Emma asked him to unhook her bra. “This cant be happening, I must be the luckiest guy in all existence.” He said under his breath as he did as asked.

“If your question is will we be romantically involved. The answer is no, we will be impregnated by you, not be your wives. Rapier is in the library for another hour so could we just start?” He shook his head and took her to bed. He got on top of her and they did the deed.

An hour later...

“Knock knock, I'm coming in.” Rapier walked in on them doing other stuff in bed besides making eggs. “I apologize Emma, but I want to get this over with so we can sleep.” Emma begged for 15 more minutes. “Then I'll be in the bathroom for 15 minutes.”

When it was Rapier's turn, Emma went out to the balcony. She was a little more uncomfortable with this concept than Emma was. It felt wrong to be in bed with a guy like this.

“I prefer to have my top on okay. Lets just get this over with.” Rapier had her eyes closed almost the whole time. It was very disconcerting and he felt awkward as well. When it was over, she told him he was done for the night.

“Yes, your majesty.”

After Nick left,

and Emma came in...

“Are you crying!?” Rapier was crying. Emma asked if he hurt her?

“No, the guy was a gentleman, I'm just not as cool with this as I thought I would be. Yes we were in bed with him before, but we were smashed.” Emma got into bed and held her tight. The two women woke the next morning to a knock on the door. Emma opened it in a robe. She wanted to know why a physician was here?

“I am here to check on your health after each night with the consort.” Emma told her to come back in the afternoon. “I am sorry but lord Wessex...” And Emma had told her to come back in a few hours! Rapier didn't need a person checking her lower half right now. “I understand I will come back later.” Emma closed the door and got back into bed. Rapier asked who it was? “An egg doctor...”

In the barracks,

training yard...

“Is that him?”

“Yeah, that's the guy for the queens.” These 2 brutish men walked up to Nick and wanted to know how he got his position? “How does a little noble boy get to be the queens stud?”

“It's improper for me to discuss it, I have training to do.” Nick started to walk away and they accosted him. Saying they were not done talking to him. They wanted to know why he gets to bed them? “And I told you it was indecent for me to discuss!” Then one of them punched him in the face. Saying he wasn't man enough for his position, and he needed to leave. “Only the queens can make that decision.”

“Leave him alone” said a captain putting his blade to their necks. Many other soldiers put their blades to them. It was mainly because of the captain. The guys were arrested and led away. “So you are the one the queens chose?” And again it was indecent to discuss. “Kid I like you, your head isn't full of arrogance, its proper. Well, I am your instructor. Lets get started with what you know.”

Back in the girls bedroom...

“Is this truly necessary?”

“The doctor told Rapier this was ordered by her uncle. “Yes, but I think I'll know myself when I miss my... you know.” The doctor told her she could get dressed. Neither one was pregnant.

“What is really going on here” Emma asked? She told the queens there were many who were uncomfortable with this arrangement. Once they were pregnant this thing with the guy would end. Her job was to tell them when the end came.

Part 2

Uncle!

In the dining hall...

“You summoned me my Queens?” Rapier told Nick to join them for lunch. “Of course.” He sat at the long table with them on the opposite side of Emma. The servant asked what he wanted to eat. “What they are having looks good.” Rapier told the staff to give them some privacy. After the room emptied he spoke. “My queen, I did not mean to make you...”

“I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night” said Rapier. His face went blank. “Obviously you were nervous as well. I didn't mean to...” Nick told her it was his fault.

“What are your plans tonight?” Emma asked moving her foot up his thigh? Nick asked if they wanted to be bedded again tonight? “We are going to try something different. Instead of sharing you in one night. You will be with one or the other the full night. And my wife wants you first.” He was coughing with her foot where it was.

“Is that okay with you” asked Rapier? Nick said it was more than fine. Emma moved her foot away, and let him be. He was more or less disturbed by her advances. Still, they ate a nice meal together. He returned to his studies of the sword after.

“You handled him well, love.” Rapier was blushing like crazy. She didn't really know how to feel about this. “If it helps you have my approval to mate with him.”

“That does make me feel better” she responded, then they kissed. As night came into focus. Rapier made herself look gorgeous and wore black lingerie.

When they were alone...

“Your majesty, you look scared?” Rapier asked him if they could hold off on mating tonight. She just wanted him to hold her while she slept. “I am more than fine with that. Although, I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”

“Then come to bed.”

When the freezing dawn came,

Rapier saw a figure on her terrace...

Nick was asleep behind her holding her by the hips. She was very comfortable and didn't want to move. Still she thought it was a male staff member, but had no clue of the name. She carefully got loose and walked on the deck in her robe. When she saw who it was her heart skipped a beat from terror.

“Uncle Norsex, what, what... why are, why are you..?” He informed her he did not come to start trouble. “Please don't hurt me.” He wasn't here to harm her either. Rapier missed a step backing away and fell on her butt. Following that she started to cry from fear. Norsex got on his knee to show her loyalty.

“I have no issue with you, your majesty.” Rapier cried he was her enemy, her other uncles were at war with him. Why would he come here if not to harm or kill her? “I will call a truce, if certain conditions are met. Afterwards I will turn myself in on the condition I get a reduced sentence.” What did he want? “The planets in the Andrel area under your rule. I want to be recognized as a leader of the territory loyal to you.” She spoke that was 27 planets. “That will continue to serve you.”

“I cant make that deal uncle. It gives you dominance over your brothers.” Would she rather he kill her uncles and force her to advocate her chair. “Why would you hurt your people at all?” Because he was a king, who needed to be announced!

“You need to leave” said Nick holding a sword in the doorway. Norsex looked at him asking if he knew who he was. “Yes, you are a lord who is forcing his resolve on a queen of kings.” He got off his knee and Nick got between them.

“I'm not leaving from fear boy, I am going for respect. Just remember queen niece, I tried to end this peacefully.” He turned into a dragon, flew into the ocean and swam away.

“Your majesty..?”

When morning came...

“Hello I'm coming... in?” Emma looked at the bed and it was bare. She saw Rapier's robe on the terrace. And knew where to look next and in the closet that had a bed, frame and all. Rapier was attached to Nick like glue and he had a good hold on her. Emma slipped into the bed waking him, but not her wife. “Nick, what happened?” Lord Norsex, paid her her a visit last night. “WHAT THE FU..!”

Part 3

3 in bed

After Emma shouted...

“Emma, I was scared... I'm sorry, I didn't come to you.” Emma smacked Nick across the face. Shouting, why he didn't report this!? “I asked him to not leave me alone.”

“There are alarms throughout the castle for a reason you idiot!” Rapier begged her to stop shouting. Emma told Nick to get out of the closet and return to his room. He got up and got dressed then left. “Love, are you hurt anywhere?” Rapier started crying out of hysteria. “Love, I'm sorry. I was angry and I handled it badly. Please stop crying like that.” She grabbed Emma and just let it out. After crying for more than 40 minutes. Rapier passed out and Emma held her tight. When the physician showed up Emma threatened her if she didn't leave.

After half a day...

“Hello, will you two be wanting lunch in your room today?” Emma sat up after being woken up. She wasn't wearing anything, neither was Rapier. She wrapped a blanket around her and answered. “I obviously came at a bad time, I will return later.”

“Servant, I need you to bring me captain Tense.” She bowed and went to retrieve him. The captain of the guard came as soon as he could. He asked what was wrong.

“We have a breach captain. A powerful enemy somehow got through security. He visited the first queen last night and scared her to death.” Who was the intruder? “I believe it was lord Norsex. Tense turned white as a sheet. The castle would be searched top to bottom. He would not rest until it was all clear.

“Emma... EMMA!”

“Hop to it.” Emma ordered, then went to Rapier's side. “I'm here love. I was just out in the bedroom talking with Tense.” She told her wife she wanted Nick to be with them. He stood up to to her uncle. Knowing very well that he would die. “I'll send for him be calm for a second. When Nick was summoned he knew he was going to be punished. He came in the bedroom door and saw Emma.

“Please make my death quick.”

“Did you really stand up to one of the great brothers?” Yes he did. “You have got some steel dragon bone balls guy.” He was going to hurt her, what else was he supposed to do? “Do you know how easily he could have killed you, Nick?”

“I say it again, it was the right thing to do.” Emma leaned in and kissed him asking him to come to bed. “I would be happy to do so.” The bed in the closet wasn't meant for 3 people, but they made it work. They skipped dinner and just embraced each other. Nick was in the middle of a sandwich, and felt he could die happy.

Off in the dark corners,

of the planets ocean...

“I want you to observe this male consort. See if you can manipulate him with coin or threats. I will have a way for you to get in contact with me.” Norsex was talking to a teenage girl dragon. She was very beautiful and just as deadly. She would not disappoint her master. After they spoke Norsex opened a portal in the ocean to take him to another planet.

At the castle,

the following day...

Your majesties, a young girl who is injured requests an audience.” Rapier wanted to know if this could wait until she was better? “She says she has information on lord Norsex.” Rapier stood up and so did Emma. She told her council men to get off his knee and take them to her. The girl was waiting outside in the hall. Her arm was broken and lip was swollen. She fell to her knees saying he was in Ashtain, then passed out. Emma told the councilman to send aid there at once!

When the girl woke...

“You slept like a rock.” Said Emma sitting by the bed. She had a shocked expression on her face. Why would a queen be her nurse!? “You came a long way to warn us. We are still sending military to Ashtain. My in law has been making a nuisance of himself. She looked at the table beside her bed. On it was fruit and a knife. “Of course help yourself to the fruit, but could I get your name by chance?”

“Rory.”

“Well Rory, we will take care of you here. If you are able to read I could use a librarian. At least that way, you wouldn't have to go back to the ruin city.” She would be happy to be her slave. “Oh no, you will be paid and have your own room.

“It would be my honor...”

-Complications-

By Michael James

Part 1

Only one guy

In the queens,

bedroom...

“Oh come on Emma, you got most of the day with him!” Emma yelled back at Rapier saying she got all last night with him. “Yeah, but that was for about 8 hours. You've been with him for 12.” Emma looked at Nick, as did Rapier. They wanted to know who he wanted to be with tonight. The guy looked at them both in lingerie. He was closer and more attracted to Rapier. But his main concern was keeping his head on his shoulders. Only one thought came to mind.

“I don't suppose we could go back to all 3 of us in bed at night?” The women looked at each other, and shrugged their shoulders. Emma asked rhetorically why not, but she gets him first! Rapier reminded her that she spent the day with him. “Rapier!” Both women looked at him. “I would like Rapier to be first.” Emma looked shocked and Rapier smiled. Emma made a sour face and let them have their fun.

“Nick do you want to unhook my bra?” They both knew this was his thing to get him exited, undressing a girl. He unhooked it and she laid her back on the bed...

When morning came...

“Ladies, we have come with your routine pregnancy test. You male consort, leave the room.” The physician did her tests. The 3 of them had been at this for 5 months, and now results were tallied. “My Queen, Rapier, you are pregnant.”

“WHAT!”

“I will now test you Queen Emma... Nope you still don't have an egg growing inside you. As per wishes Queen Rapier, you no longer need your consort. Queen Emma, you will conduct your business with him out of this room.” Emma looked over at Rapier who was starting to cry. Emma told the doctor to leave the room. “I'm afraid that I have other matters to see to with Queen Rapier.”

“Let me ask you something, do you like having your head on your neck? I am ordering you to leave the room.” The physician told Emma she had the authority here. As the uncle of her wife stated. “I see... guards! 5 soldiers rushed in. Rapier covered herself with a blanket, but Emma didn't give a damn. “Arrest this doctor and throw her in a cell.” The doctor tried to play her cards, but Emma won.

After they were alone...

“I don't get to see him again” Rapier cried softly. Emma realized now it wasn't about the sex. Rapier had grown as fond of him as she did. Emma leaned in for a kiss. Rapier kissed her back then buried her face in Emma's chest, crying.

In the cells,

later that day...

“Hey doc, you have a visitor.”

“I don't know what was going on in your head, to talk back to the queens. But as of now, your doctrine career is over” Kenneth said in stern. She rushed to the bars of her cell. Saying Wessex gave her authority over them. “That authority... was to make them get tested, nothing more! And if you challenge this further I will have your head!” She backed up and asked what now? “Queen Rapier wants you off of this planet. Tonight, you will be escorted to neutral territory.”

In her closet,

bedroom...

The door opened and Emma told him “get your butt in there!” Rapier was reading a book on preparing clothes for babies. Nick rushed in, and Emma followed. “Love, please find some closure with him while we have this opportunity.”

“I love you Queen Rapier...” Both women looked at him with shock. Emma shouted softly she said the word closure, not complicate! Rapier just couldn't make words leave her lips.

Knock knock, “Excuse me, I brought the materials you requested my queen. Emma shouted loudly now, Rapier wasn't here just leave them on the bed. “Very good...”

Part 2

Don't you dare

Outside the closet...

“What the fu... were you thinking saying that to her!?” Nick confessed he loved her. And he would never get another chance to say it. Emma smacked him to the floor. The closet door opened and Emma said harshly, “love stay in there!” Nick got on his knee and begged forgiveness. “You are no longer our consort. I don't want to see you in our castle again, now go.” Nick looked at her in a long moment and then left the room. Emma went back in the closet where Rapier was crying.

“Why did you make him leave?”

“Love, listen to me. You are a symbol of an entire race. It would never work out with the two of you together. Even if I wasn't in the picture, it wouldn't work.” She asked what if she had more than one child. “Rapier, he's gone okay. And don't think for a second you can run off with him. You would have an entire army after you and when you were found. He would be executed and you would be watched forever.” Rapier told Emma to leave her alone.

Out in the city,

around the castle...

“You're looking for work?”

“Yes sir, as a sword for hire” Nick told the guild master. He was looking at Nick swearing he had seen him before. Nick needed a bunk to sleep on in the mean time. The guild clerk directed him to the barracks. There were those who instantly knew who he was.

“How did it feel boy, to bed both queens at once?” Nick told them he didn't want to discuss it. “Yeah, pretty boy, we have been wanting to talk to you for a while.” 2 guys grabbed his arms and forced him to the floor. Jealous idiots wanted to make themselves feel better. Then the clerk walked in saying someone was looking for Nick. The men let him go in front of the boss. When he walked out into the lobby he saw Rory.

“I have a bag of coin for you, from the queen.” Which one? “Queen Rapier of course.” Nick took the bag of coin and now had means to flee the capital. “I would also like you to join me for a drink.” He had no plans, where were they going? “Somewhere where your life wont be in danger.” She escorted him to a bar named Tilt. A bar that looked fancy. Rory went inside and he followed. She ordered two large ales and they sat at a privet VIP table.

“You sure you can afford this place?”

“Tell me Nick, you do care for both Queens, especially Rapier?” Yes he did, he would even go as far to say he loved Rapier. But it was foolish to think he could be with her like that. “Well, I would have to agree with you. Only in the sense that its improper.” What was she suggesting here, he inquired? “The queen is going mad now that you are gone. I have a feeling she would run away with you.”

“No!” She begged his pardon. “I will not take a leader from her people.” Rory smiled saying she really needed him on board with this. “What are you talking about?”

“I see, all you are going to be is a block to the greater plan. Boys, take this runt to the basement.” Nick looked to his left, 5 big guys came and held him down. He shouted what was going on!? “Knock him out...” Nick awoke in a fancy bedroom with his leg chained to a bed post. Rory wandered in and smiled wearing Norsex's colors.

“You're a traitor.”

“Don't blame me, I wanted you to do this the fun way. As you obviously can see we plan to abduct queen Rapier. And take her child from her when she lays that egg. You will be the bait, to lure her to us.” He stated in anger, he would not be a part of this. “You don't have a choice.” All hope drained from his face in that moment.

“What do you plan to do with Emma?”

Rory laughed for a minute then answered, “no one cares about that river rat. When Rapier is captured my master will ransom her back for my masters deserved territory. If you make trouble for us, your accommodations will lessen considerably. So just lay on the bed nice and neat. While we bring the queen to you.”

In the castle...

“GET OUT!” Rapier screamed at the top of her lungs. Emma had successfully made it so she couldn't escape. Her wife was beyond in a rage at her for doing this. Rapier had become a prisoner in their room. Now she wanted Emma out.

“I will leave now love, this is for your own good.” Rapier threw a vase at her. As it smashed on her Emma's face. She turned and closed the door. Almost instantly she saw Rory bringing one of Rapier's favorite books...

Part 3

A trade

“My queen” Rory asked to coming in.” Rapier said she wanted to be alone right now. “With all due respect, I believe I can answer your prayers.” Rapier looked at her and said go on. “I have a letter from Nick, he wants you to meet him.

“You got some nerve lady.” Sorry, Rory became confused. “After your second week in my castle we realized you worked for my uncle. We have been feeding you misinformation to hinder him. Now, you use my lover as a bartering tool. I will enjoy watching you being tortured... GUARDS!” Rory ran out the door, but was caught in moments.

In the dungeons,

minutes later...

“You picked the worst time to test me. Now tell me where he is, or we will hurt you.” Rory squirmed about trying to get free. “Very well, my good man, start removing her dragon scales.” The scales of a humanoid dragon were as stuck in you like teeth. You rip out one it wont grow back and it will hurt just as bad as a root canal.

“Wait a moment!”

“Emma, I don't wish to see you now.” Emma told them to hold on a minute. “Why” Rapier demanded? Wessex wants to trade her for Nick. “My good man rip out one scale on the side of her head and then take her to her cell.” Rory screamed during the whole process. It felt like a rusty nail getting jabbed where you had an exposed tooth root. “Why the sudden change of heart lover?”

“Rapier, I understand you are angry with me right now.” Rapier smiled and told her angry was a very mild word for her feelings at the moment. “Look, I have spent half a day trying to bring Nick back into our lives. Please cut me a little slack here.”

“Go on” Rapier told her in a much calmer voice. Emma began to describe a position of a vice marital partner. Should she die, Rapier would have a suitor lined up. “Why would you agree to that?” Because it would make her wife happy to have him back in her life. “I except this arrangement, but I haven't forgiven you completely yet.”

Two days later,

at a river...

Rapier was not allowed to be present, nor Emma. Wessex had Rory in a spiked collar and his brother was 2 hours late. Rory felt the fear that her master wasn't coming. But finally, Norsex and his two generals arrived with Nick in hand.

“Forgive my tardiness brother, I had something to see too. As a gesture of good faith, I will send the boy first. Once Nick had crossed the bank, Wessex got a good look at him. One of his eyes was missing and he was missing a finger on his left hand. Also he looked like he got the hell beat out of him. “Now if you would send my adopted daughter over this way. Wessex had to send her, this was their way and he had no choice. Rory was sent and arrived to her master.

“You really ought to congratulate the lad brother. He would not falter in his loyalty to my niece. Please let me know if the poison kills him or not. Till next time.” After those words, Nick collapsed.

At the castle,

in the medical room...

“NO!”

“Kenneth, take her!” Her bother manhandled Rapier out of the room. She was fighting and screaming as hard as she could. Kenneth was having a hard time doing as Wessex asked. When she was out, the door was locked and Rapier was in tears.

“Little Fencer, hey... listen to me!” Rapier was hysterical but calmed herself to hear her brothers words. “Fencer, they cant help him with you in the room okay. You need to let the doctors do their work.” Rapier fell to her knees in sorrow. “I'll bet you could find a comfortable space in your closet with Emma.”

“No, summon Essex, I want to see my uncle in my bedroom now.” Kenneth could sense she had snapped right then and there. He didn't want to refuse her.

In her bedroom...

“You summoned me, your grace.” Rapier asked him how the war was going? “At this moment, we are on the side lines.” Explain. “Amethyst is attacking your uncle right now. The war between the two is unending and vastly fierce.”

“I want to issue a bounty on Norsex head. Have it known to every dragon race. The bounty is a whole country of land in my territory...

Part 4

Cuddling

2 weeks later,

in her throne room...

“You are telling me that you are in the process of killing my uncle?” The Ruby dragon bounty hunter confirmed it. However his efforts would go smoother with some financial help. Emma was afraid to speak as fire seeped out of Rapier's mouth. “I am sick to death of you stupid, fu... con artists. Arrest him and throw him in the dungeon! Rapier was told today that Nick was probably not going to make it. This was the fifth free loader today. The next one more would get beheaded. “NEXT!”

Kenneth came ahead of the next party. He told her that Lady Aqua wanted to see her. “Vala, why didn't you tell me she was coming?” She got to her knee and begged forgiveness. Lady Aqua didn't inform her that she was coming. “Emma will you please address the court the rest of the day?” She told her yes she could handle it.

In her bedroom...

“Milady, I am honored by your, visit... Nick!”

“I don't like this angry dictator you have become. I prefer the girl who is timid and just” Aqua said in a stern voice. Nick was still missing a finger, but Aqua had cured every other ailment. Rapier dropped to her knee, crying tears of joy. “I'll leave you two alone, but make time for me tonight.” Aqua said calmly while walking out.

“You're really alive, this isn't a trick?” Nick let her get up and went down on his knee. “Rise...” Nick stood up and then started to talk. Rapier threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. They fell to the floor and she started to undress.

“Milady, your uncle wants me to replace your wife!” In her underwear she stood up and looked shocked. “I don't want to cause a rift between the two of you” he said modestly. Rapier had a choice to make and she made it quick. She chose Emma over him.

“Servant?” A girl walked in asking what she could do for her? “Please go get Emma, and bring her here.” Yes milady. After a few minutes Emma wandered in. Nick was above the covers in bed and Rapier was under them. He was in some boxers and her top was still on.

“What is going on here” Emma asked.

“We are cuddling please get in bed and hold me from the other side. Emma thought what the hell. She stripped down and got in bed. This was a unique moment, and it was almost like time stood still...

My Heaven

-Soft Shell Disease -

By Michael James

Part 1

Bad timing

In Rapier castle,

above water, was a party...

“My dear, do you think I could have this dance?” Emma asked Rapier on the terrace. To put it bluntly, this party was in honor of her egg soon to be born. Lords, ladies, royalty and nobility came from all over. To give a gift and bless her expected child. Rapier felt very out of place which was no surprise. She was hiding from her guests the best she could. When Emma asked for a dance, it was a heartfelt moment.

Nick was watching them, he was no longer considered a consort. He had become a lesser prince. All dragon kind knew Queen Rapier married a girl. Everyone just pretended that wasn't the case. Escorting him was Vala and Emma escorted Rapier.

“Love, I need to talk to you about something” Emma murmured under her breath. Rapier told her if this was about soft shell, she didn't want... “I'm sorry love, but we need to have this talk!” Emma grabbed Rapier's shoulders in a firm way. Nick ran outside when he saw this. “Lord Nick, stay where you are she needs to face this!” She told Emma the doctors monitoring her told her the girl in her egg was healthy.

“Rapier, I agree with Emma.” Both women looked at Nick with shock. “I've been told I have soft shell disease. I assume I caught it from you both, with no blame intended. I think you wanting to have our egg in the nursery is a terrible plan.”

“Well I don't think the shell is to soft. Our egg will be in the same nest as I was. It is a tradition of my family that has never been broken. My father and kin would never forgive me. Now I don't want to hear about this matter again tonight!” Rapier batted Emma's hands off her body and left them both to join the party.

“Excuse me?” A diamond king inquired. Rapier looked scared of this man. She was face to face with Arthur, the king of all diamond dragons. “You look upset, may I ask why?”

She managed to say “trouble in paradise.” She was scared to death of him. He had never lost a war he fought and was seen as a celestial being. Could he have a dance with her? “Sure” she whispered in fear. He assured her there was nothing to be afraid of. He escorted her to the center floor, the light shown on them as they danced.

After the dance...

“I want you to know, with regards to the insurrection. I am willing to offer military support... What's wrong?” Rapier went from a calm girl to being in serious pain. She told him her water just broke. She was in serious pain and embarrassed as hell. The two were in the garden and with no one around. He picked her up and ran to her soldiers.

In the delivery room...

“IT HURTS, SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT HURTS BAD!” Part of the egg chipped and was cutting her insides. Rapier was bleeding badly, she was screaming and crying. As soon as she pushed the egg out of her. The doctors determined that the child inside was safe. Now they had to worry about her bleeding to death.

After 20 minutes...

“There is nothing more we can do for her. Its impossible to mend her injury” a doctor said to Emma. She told him if Rapier dies so would he! “Then allow me to consult my family, there is nothing more that can be done.”

Nick was in shock and Emma was trying to put on a brave face. Rapier wasn't conscious and was dying. They sat at her bed praying for a miracle. Then a miracle showed up.

“Goddess Aqua!?”

“Both of you, out of my way right now!” Aqua hurried to Rapier and healed her injury. Rapier had lost a lot of blood and was very weak, but she would live.

In a shady corner,

of the city...

“You understand, you will not live through this?” Yes he did, but this was for the greater good. That stupid queen of theirs could not produce an heir...

Part 2

Where is my egg

In her bed chamber...

“Mmm, where am I” Rapier asked softly? Emma was asleep next to her, And Nick was asleep in the chair. The moment they heard her voice they woke up. Emma looked more relieved than ever before, in her life. “Emma...” Rapier slid her hand to her stomach and realized her egg was out of her. “Where is my child!?” She shouted jerking up and caused her body great pain. She started crying from the pain. Soldiers rushed in the room as she screamed.

“All 4 of you back out in the hall” Emma demanded. Rapier looked at her wanting good news. “Your child is fine, the egg did not break in a way that was serious. It did chip inside of you, and it cut you up really bad. Your goddess saved your life.”

“Where is she?”

“Our child is in the nursery” Nick told her with assurance. Rapier laid her head back on the pillow, she was happy her daughter didn't die. Little did they expect someone meant her egg harm.

In the nursery,

under the water...

“What is with the battalion over there?” The unknown assailant asked his coworker. The friend of his told him they were guarding the queens egg. “It takes 30 men to guard 1 child?”

43 minutes later...

The group of soldiers heard dragons screaming. Followed by spewing liquid fire everywhere. They didn't really consider Rapier's egg was in danger. They were just there for show. 25 of them went to see what all the fuss was about. The remaining 5 didn't see it coming. The others returned to find their comrades killed and the egg gone.

In the Queen's bedroom,

a little bit later...

Rapier was asleep in bed, Nick was watching over her. While Emma was addressing some affairs. A soft knock was at the door. Nick answered and didn't realize it had woken Rapier.

“My lord, your child has been stolen.” Nick became livid in half a second. But when he heard Rapier's voice screaming at the top of her lungs. Everyone thought oh my god.

“WHERE IS MY EGG!”

“Answer her you idiot” Nick ordered!

In the court room...

“I appreciate your offer king Arthur. We don't necessarily need more soldiers on the lines of battle. However, crime has become quite a problem. Would you be willing to help in that area?” Arthur bowed his head and said that would be fine.

A messenger barged into the room with urgent news for Emma. Arthur wasn't insulted when she interrupted their talk. He was however, terrified when the young girl told Emma the egg was stolen. Emma jerked up from her throne. Everyone but Arthur took the knee. Emma asked if her wife knew about this yet?

“Yes my queen she does.”

“Court is adjourned for the day. I need to get to my wife before she dies of depression! “King Arthur, I will have a room prepared for you. Please be patient with the situation.” He told Emma he had all the patience in ganta. He left the court room after she did.

In Arthur's company...

“Listen up, someone has committed a grand crime. I'm assigning all of you to help find this thief.” All of his soldiers bowed and took off to help find the thief.

In Rapier's closet,

after she was told...

“Emma, I feel like I cant breath.”

“Nick get in here, and help me keep her calm” Emma shouted. She grabbed Emma around the waist and had a death grip on her. Her face was between her breasts and she was gasping for air. Nick ran inside the room and Rapier told him to leave them alone. She just wanted to be with Emma right now. “No offense Nick, I just want her.”

“Its okay, I will be in the bedroom.

“Love, I hope you don't find this offensive. You are crushing my spine with your strength.” Rapier loosened her grip laughing and crying at the same time. One thing led to another they were in bed together and bare. Rapier cried herself to sleep as Emma held her close. Nick wandered in as soon as the noise died down.

Part 3

The worst thing

At the location,

of the thief...

“Hello...” He was in the same shady place as before. His crew was nowhere in sight. The guys job was to destroy the egg. But he brought it back thinking they could make a profit. His crew knew he had the egg and all bailed on him, except one.

“You are stupid as hell, you must have shi... for brains man.” The guy told him as he approached with a riffle. The thief set the egg on the table and told him Amethyst would pay a hefty sum. “Do you really think we would get the egg that far? Its the queens egg, and there are thousands of soldiers out looking for you!”

“Are you really going to shoot me?” He asked in a worried tone. He told the thief to get out and never come back. He was to do with the egg whatever he wanted.

In a public garden,

2 hours later...

“I see him! He is heading to the garden's center.” The thief was screwed at this point. He had half of the army in the gardens looking for him. He was running with soldiers closing in. Then the unthinkable happened. He tripped on raised flooring. He went face first into the stone bricks and the egg fell out of his hands. It smashed like weak glass on the stones. The baby inside died in an instant.

Kenneth was out with the soldiers, he saw his niece laying in the soil. The soldiers arresting him were carrying him away. Kenneth told them to bring him back.

“Hold him tight.” Kenneth just started beating the hell out of the guy. He broke his ribs, jaw and both shoulders. He was bleeding in many areas and he wouldn't see well the rest of his life. “Take him away and make sure he is uncomfortable.”

After Kenneth told Rapier...

Rapier died inside hearing this, she just collapsed from her feet giving out. Emma caught her saying a thousand times it was going to be alright. Rapier didn't say a word or showed any emotion. Emma called for Nick who was trying to stay brave.

“Nick will you carry her to our room. Put her in the closet bedroom and stay with her. Don't leave her alone, for even a second!” Emma was crying herself but knew she had to be the one in control here. Rapier started leaking from her eyes as he set her on the bed. But she made no noise or action as if she was crying.

In the dungeon cells...

“Bring him...” The thief was brought before Wessex and Essex. His trial was now and Wessex was his judge. The thief told them that he knew he was going to die. For what it was worth, he never intended to kill the child. Wessex looked him over.

“I have some questions for you. Who were you working for and what was the reason for the theft.” He told them everything, and more. Wessex seemed satisfied with what he told him. Wessex waved his hand saying “put him in the mud cage.”

“What... no, please, just have my head.” He went kicking and screaming the whole way. It was the water dragon's worst way to die, drowning in mud. Emma was the voice now. She was there for the execution, asking Rapier to go would be cruel.

A couple days later,

while they were asleep...

Rapier went to her wall, where a ceremonial dagger was placed. She took it off the wall and put it to her arm's vein. Emma watched from the doorway.

“So that's it? You're just going to kill yourself and leave me all alone?” Rapier looked at Emma and snapped out of her shocked state. She started to vomit and cry louder than a screech. Nick got up out of bed and ran to her, as did Emma.

“She is gone, my first baby is gone!” Emma got the dagger out of her hand first. Then she held Rapier close. “Why was it my daughter... why did it have to be her!”

A servant rushed in and Emma demanded “take all the sharp objects out of the room.” Rapier started to squeeze the life out of her again. Emma just patted her head as she made it hard to breath. Nick was holding her hand as she sobbed into Emma's shoulder.

“Who was responsible for our daughters death?” Rapier asked going from sorrow to pis... off...

My Heaven

-2 Future Heirs-

By Michael James

Part 1

Trouble in bed

In their closet,

a day after she snapped out of it...

“Love, I understand you want to have another child. And I know what I got to do is crucial, but I need rest.” Rapier told him to go rest in the bedroom bed. When he had his strength back he could come back in the closet. “My queen you will have another egg, its just going to take time.” She told him to lay on the bed, she would do all the work for him. Nick laid on his back and let her do her thing.

When morning came...

“Knock knock, I'm coming in.” Emma said feeling very chipper. Rapier asked her how inappropriate would it be to have a soldier help her make a baby? “Okay girl, you are scaring me. Does Nick not want to be physical or something?” She confessed he passed out on her early this morning. “Rapier, you need to get some rest. You are talking really fast and you have bags under your eyes.” She never answered about the soldier request? “Love, you will have another egg, just...”

“Guard!” The soldier rushed in the room asking what was wrong? “Today is your lucky day, you get to bed your queen!” He started to giggle. “What's funny?” He paused, then realized she was serious. Emma told him to go back out in the hall. “No... I want to make an egg! I need a conscious man and he is it.”

“Your uncle would have me killed, your majesty.” Emma told him back out in the hall and do not even think about touching her. “Yes your majesty, good plan.”

“Love, you need to sleep.”

“Why do you not want me to have another child, huh? Is it because you think I couldn't take care of her or something? “You think I would be a terrible mother!?” She screamed in blind rage. Emma walked up to her and kissed her. She managed to get Rapier on the bed when she squeezed a certain point of the body and Rapier passed out. When she was asleep, Emma started crying. It was her baby too, that she would help raise. Rapier didn't need to be so ugly about it.

When Nick woke up in the closet bed alone. He sat up and was in pain but managed to walk out of the room. Emma was in bed with Rapier, singing a lullaby. He asked if she was okay?

“Nick I don't know how to tell you this, after all that's happened.” He asked what happened now? “You're going to be a father again.” He immediately thought of Rapier, then realized it was Emma. Then his legs gave out underneath him.

“You realize when she finds out she will snap like never before!” Emma told him she was given sleeping medicine and she wouldn't wake for a day. Rapier was running on reserves already. It was the perfect time to discuss this. “I disagree, I cant have this talk looming over my head right now. She is in a fragile state of mind and she will get it out of me.” Emma told him to sit down and shut up!”

Once he was in a chair...

“Nick I understand that my wife has lost all sense of reason. But she might think something is a miss when she looks at my hips.” She lifted up her shirt and revealed her belly lump.

“You've known for a while. I can see why you haven't said anything, but oh my god.” Emma told him to assure him, he was the father. She started being pregnant around the time Rapier gave birth. “Oh shi... oh shi... I don't know what to do.”

“You could start by telling Emma to make sure I drink the serum next time.” Both froze in terror, after Rapier said that. Both opened their mouths, but no sounds came out. Rapier sat up crying tears of joy. “Emma, we have a baby to raise now, I'm so happy it hurts. She put her hand on Emma's tummy and rubbed it. “I think I will go back to sleep now. Could the both of you talk quieter?”

Part 2

Assassination attempt

In the hot bath...

“You have got such reserves girl. To tell me you were listening to that whole conversation and didn't say a word.” Rapier swam up to to Emma in a pool size bath and kissed her. “Where did that come from?” Rapier confessed they hadn't fooled around in weeks, she missed it. “Me too.” Emma put her hands behind Rapier's back and hugged her tight. They got so hot and heavy that they got cooked in the hot water.

Nick was told he needed to give them a night to themselves. But during the night, a draken gale arrived on their deck. Standing over their bed he had a sword in each hand. He descended his blades simultaneously and Emma kicked him in the gut before skin was broken.

“You both will die tonight. All you are doing is extending your suffering.” Who was he Emma demanded? “It doesn't matter, you will both die and the North will claim dominion.

“My uncle sent you?” Rapier shouted in shock. The assassin told her it didn't matter why he was here or who sent him. They would both die very soon. Emma laughed to herself. He asked what was amusing? This dance had been performed before. There were measures taken to make sure it wouldn't happen again. “What?”

Emma put her fingers between her teeth and called forth, back up. Two drakes were always in earshot beneath their deck while they slept. The assassin looked to the deck and saw them land on it in human form. He told the queens their race didn't look to two girls for leadership. And he barreled through the drake men and took off.

“One of you stay here and watch over us!” Shouted Emma. The stronger of the two took off after him with an battalion of dragon men soon following. “Soldier, will you wait on the deck until we call for you?” He bowed and did as told. Emma was covering for her wife, who was shaking in fear. Emma got her to the closet bedroom and comforted her. Rapier was in panic mode yes, but thankful she was alive. When Nick arrived later he was glad they were both safe, but livid at what almost happened. He yelled at the soldier for not doing his job.

In the late afternoon...

Vala ran in the room seeing it empty. She slowly opened the closet door and saw Rapier sleeping. She was gripped to Emma like a vice in her sleep. Emma woke up a moment later and signaled to let Rapier sleep. Vala closed the door and waited for her to rise.

Upon waking up, Rapier sensed Vala was nearby and called out for her. She opened the door and asked why she had returned. She was supposed to be assisting her uncle against Norsex?

“Yes well, one of Norsex's assassins went rogue and came here.” Emma wanted to know why they weren't warned? Vala looked at Emma's stomach. “Girl are you carrying an egg?” Emma snapped at her to answer the question! “I am the messenger, your majesty.”

“Emma stop picking on her” Rapier groaned. Rapier sat up and felt something inside. “Vala... go get my privet physician.” She asked her queen if she was kidding. “No Vala, I am far from being jest. I need to be examined right now.” Vala told the female soldiers guarding the bedroom to send word at once.

“Just out of curiosity why is it strictly female staff in this part of the castle?” Emma told Vala that she didn't want Rapier mating with strange men. “I beg your pardon?” Rapier told her what happened a couple days ago. Vala still accused Emma of being out of line.

A female soldier came in the room saying she had an update on the assassin. Emma told her to come in and report. Rapier felt embarrassed being seen by an unfamiliar woman. She covered herself as she walked in. What did she have to report?

“The Draken gale was Santana, he was still at large and dangerous.” Vala asked if his brother was spotted? “WHAT BROTHER!?” All 3 women snapped at her.

“Santana's brother Hearse is also believed to be in the area.” The doctor walked in the room asking if this was a bad time? Rapier shouted to come on in and confirm her pregnancy. The two women she wasn't married too needed to go.

After the tests were done...

“I actually have another child inside me.” Rapier said with tears of joy coming down her cheek. The soldier who was to report was waiting in the hall until they were done. Her instructions afterwords were to send word to her uncles to send back additional security.

Because now there were two heirs to guard...

Part 3

I like poisons

In Rapier's ocean,

far off the city coast...

“Well hello brother, did you have fun?” Santana told Hearse that he failed. “You failed” He snapped at him in frustration! Santana told him that he didn't count on drake security. “Why would there be drakes guarding her? Every resource they have was sent to stopping that idiot Norsex!” Santana told him, they were drakes. “Well, I suppose I will have to do this myself.”

“What will you do?”

“I will just have to poison them. Now brother listen to my instructions carefully...”

In the city,

days later...

“Greetings, I came for the order.”

“Ah yes my prince, I had the pregnancy medicine finished yesterday. I was surprised to hear that both queens had soft shell disease.” Kenneth told the pharmacist he needed to take that to his grave. “Of course your majesty I wont tell a soul. Now its best to use the ointment as soon as you can.” Kenneth thanked him and paid. As soon as the prince was gone. The pharmacist told Hearse in the back room it was done. Now would he please let his child go?”

“You did well clerk, but I'm afraid I cant have loose ends.” He shouted don't you dare do it. Hearse laughed as he killed them. Leaving two dead bodies in the back room.

In the castle,

dining room...

“I cant say this comes as a surprise to me. You were mating with him for two weeks solid every chance you got.” Emma laughed while eating her fish lunch. Nick was at the table with the two queens feeling very embarrassed. He was trying to enjoy his lunch, but all the women talked about was their pregnancies. Also using him like a pogo stick. It wasn't a desirable situation.

Kenneth was announced and they all shouted, let him in. He walked in the room and handed both Emma and his sister a jar of the ointment. The cream Hearse made specially for them.

“Thank you Kenneth.”

“Yes thank you brother.” Emma smelled the cream and her expression changed. “What is it love?” Emma looked at Kenneth with anger and suspicion. Rapier asked “what's wrong?” She asked Rapier to hand her ointment to her. Kenneth asked what was going on? “Yes, why did you change moods all of a sudden?” Emma smelled Rapier's cream then shouted for the guards!

“Vala, hold him down!” Kenneth looked surprised as Vala stood up. She asked Rapier what to do. She yelled at Emma in a cross tone what was happening!? “He gave us cream that would kill our unborn eggs.” WHAT! Kenneth swore that he didn't do that. Vala took action and pinned him to the wall.

“Sister I swear I don't know what is happening. I would never hurt you or your children!” Rapier looked lost for just a minute. Then told Kenneth to cooperate, proving his innocence. Kenneth relaxed and let Vala immobilize him.

Half a day later,

in the cells...

“Prince Kenneth you have a visitor, come to the door.” He was in the cell where they would keep a king. He got off his mattress and approached the meeting area. He was expecting little fencer, but it was Emma. “Prince, allow yourself to be chained to the chair.” The soldier demanded of him in a harsh tone.

“No... let him be free during our meeting. Rapier has complete faith in him so I will trust that.” The guard told him to go sit. Emma was let in the cell meeting area. Kenneth asked her why his sister wasn't here? “A conflict of interest Kenneth. She has been shouting to let you go even if you are guilty.”

“How can I prove my innocence?”

“Where did you get the womb venom?” He got it from a pharmacist he knew and trusted. Emma looked him in the eye and asked if he would harm his sister?

“Not even if it put me on her throne...” She sat back in her chair and saw truth in his expression. Kenneth bit his palm and swore in blood, he would never harm them. Emma told him he was free but on a short leash. If he left the castle he would be found guilty. “I understand, now may I see my sister?”

“No, I don't know how much more she can take before a meltdown...” He nodded his head agreeing with her.

Part 4

Emma's malice

In their bedroom,

after Emma was done...

“Love are you in here?” Emma came to a destroyed bedroom. No one was allowed in until Emma's return. Rapier wasn't in the room or the closet. It appeared as though she escaped. “God Dam..!” Emma sounded the alarm to find the queen...

At the club,

where they met Nick...

“Well hello pretty thing, I'll bet you are nobility.” A smug creep inquired. Rapier was sitting in the corner alone staring at alcohol in a cup. “Well you don't mind if I get frisky do ya?” Rapier unbuttoned her shirt and let him lay into her. This continued for a while, she didn't care what he did to her. All she focused on was would she harm her egg with a drink. “Mmm, you taste so nice.”

“Excuse me son.” He told the old guy to fu... off. “Well that wasn't very nice.” Hearse stabbed him with a poison dagger. The guy fell dead to the floor. “My opinion of your has dramatically decreased. Letting that animal do those things to you.”

“Are you the one who gave my brother the cream?” Hearse grabbed her by the neck and told her that didn't matter. She would be dead and all would be well.

“DON'T TOUCH HER!” Emma screeched in rage. The music stopped and a path had formed between them. Hearse let Rapier go who continued to sit there lifeless. Hearse laughed at Emma's scary face. What could she do at this point? “I'm going to bite your head off, for one thing!” He changed into his ocean dragon form. Emma took her river dragon form. The building's room collapsed with them rising out of it.

“Ha, you're a little girl. What could you possibly do to me, you're even smaller than me. How do you think you can win?” A minute later other dragons surrounded them. Emma told them to let her have him. “Yeah, let the little queen try and kill me, good plan.”

Emma quickly filled her lungs with fire and Hearse did the same. They shot almost simultaneously. When the forces met Emma's pushed his back slowly. Hearse couldn't believe this. He stopped his flame and moved to sink his fangs into her neck. Emma saw him move and grabbed his neck in her jaws. Hearse knew he was a dead man right then. He snapped his fangs and filled his body with poison.

Emma bit his throat harder than a snakes wrap. Followed by blowing her fire into his body and cut his head off in a beam. She had killed him no mistakes. She took her human like form again and saw Rapier was crying a waterfall.

“Love, are you... o... kay...” Emma said weakening to the floor. She was poisoned by Hearse. Rapier stopped crying and went limp. She had lost all hope of happiness. Vala carried her back to the castle and Emma was taken to the castle's medical wing.

A day later...

“Let me see her!” Wessex insisted with a roar. Vala told him to not expect much. Queen Rapier had not moved a muscle since the incident. Wessex entered the room and was heartbroken. Rapier looked lifeless just sitting in a chair.

“My queen, your uncle Norsex has called a cease fire for the time being. He wants you to have a healthy pregnancy. I understand everything has been terrible for you. But your people need a leader. I need a leader, that I can stand behind to serve. If you just let this happen and do nothing. You are dishonoring your people.” With that Rapier's eyes moved all of a sudden and she struck her uncle down.

“WHO GIVES A SHI... ABOUT THIS WAR YOUR HAVING!” I am confronted by wives, mothers, children to end it. I don't give a shi... about the territory Norsex wants. You have brought this misery upon me and it is unending. GET OUT! If I see you again today, I will have your head!” Rapier growled with fire in her mouth.

“I'll leave, but you will make no notions of surrender do you hear me!” GET OUT! Wessex got up and left the room. On his way out he gave orders to watch her carefully. If she snored differently he wanted to know about it. Rapier just fell on the floor crying, now her uncle was treating her like a prisoner.

Part 5

28 days later

In land Norsex took...

“What have you to report?”

“King Norsex, your niece has been negotiating with your brothers. She seeks to end the war peacefully. The little coward cant handle the pressure, heh heh. Norsex turned to his messenger with an angry face. “Have I upset you my king?”

“You think her movement on wanting peace is folly? You think she is a coward because she want the death to stop? What right do you have to mock your queen!?” Norsex walked up to him and struck him. The messenger lost his eye that day.

In Rapier's council room...

“This is out of the question, you cant just yield the territory. We have been fighting this war, not you, your majesty. We can not and will not give in just because you've had enough!” Rapier told Gate to sit in his chair and shut up. “If you give in, you will lose my trust and support. I want you to realize that!” Rapier told her soldiers to take him to the cells. If he resists then kill him. Gate stood up and allowed himself to be restrained. Swearing this would not go unaddressed.

“Uncles and generals, I am not suggesting we give into Norsex's demands or surrender. All I want is to arrange a meet.” Sussex asked her if she really thought this was a wise course of action? “Do you doubt your queen?” Essex told her the honest answer was yes. He was sure that he spoke for everyone when he said this. Rapier looked at her whole room of about 13 men and women. “Emotions are high, I will agree to that. We will take a 26 hour break and resume.” Rapier stood up, so did her room and she left the room.

“Brother, we cant?”

“She has been through so much over the last few months. And it is unending stress. I believe she will make the right decision. But if we push her much further right now, we may lose her.” Wessex told the room in a serious tone. Essex asked what were they supposed to do? “We will give her space and let her collect herself.” What about Norsex's rogue drake? “Arrange a hunting party and run him down!”

At Emma's bedside...

“Can you give me a little bit with her?” Rapier asked approaching the bed. The doctor told her that she was still hanging on. “Did she get better at all?” No, but she didn't get any worse. He would leave her to talk with her. The nursing staff cleared the room and Rapier put a new bouquet next to her on the bed.

Rapier sat at the bedside starting to cry. Several minutes later she was crying loud and exhaustively. Emme's coma brought on by the poison made her paralyzed.

“Excuse me my queen?” Rapier screamed at the familiar voice she wanted to be alone dammit. “I understand you want to be alone, perhaps there is something I can do.” Rapier looked up in a rage and saw her goddess.] standing over her. “I have come to heal her.” She said in a humble way.

Rapier got on her knee apologizing for anything she said. Aqua smiled telling her that there was a little boy in the doorway. She should go talk with him while she purged the poison. Rapier looked at the door and saw a servant boy looking in. She stood up and went to talk with him, as Aqua started her cleansing session.

“Little boy...” He was so scared of Rapier he fell backwards. “Relax I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to speak with whatever is on your mind.” He shouted don't make peace with that awful man. If she recalled he was a refugee from land seized by her uncle. Rapier looked at him and remembered now, she saw him before with a broken arm.

“If I may speak freely?” She told him to go ahead. “Lord Norsex, has implied mass slavery and brutal laws in his lands. My father was killed in a demonstration of his power. My father did nothing wrong. He was just 1 of 6 men chosen randomly from the crowd. And my sister was pretty enough to be marketable. I came here with my mother and youngest sister. Norsex is a terrible man and cant be given land!”

“What have I done” Rapier said to herself looking into his eyes. He wanted to cry because of her decision, but he was afraid too. Rapier got on her knees and hugged him. “Forgive me little one.” He was feeling a new kind of fear right now. “I have to go.”

In her prison cells...

“Gate, it doesn't matter if you were 100.1% right and she was 0.9% wrong. Under no circumstances do you threaten your queen to her face!” Gate wanted Sussex to tell him what he would have him do? Sussex was about to speak but the they heard Rapier's voice.

“Guard, let him out of his cell...”

Part 6

He's still out there

On Norsex's ship,

in his seized territory...

“Are you fu... kidding me!? Queen Rapier has wanted to negotiate a truce for a month now?” Doman told him this was no longer the case. The queen had a come to goddess moment and changed her mind. Norsex looked at his general with a blank face. Doman was brushing this off as one of those missed opportunities. Norsex felt quite different about the situation. “My king, we don't need...” Norsex hit him with his meteor fire, sending him flying into a wall.

“Why would you make lite of this you stupid man. Because we failed to act we may have to kill our brethren for decades longer!” Doman stood up and thought he might die right now...

In the castle prison,

right after Gate was released...

“Lord Gate, I'm sorry for my behavior.”

“No... no no, my queen does not apologize to her subject like this. I will not have my queen show me humility.” Gate got on his knee and said his behavior was unacceptable. By questioning and threatening her. “I was in the wrong.”

“The deal to my uncle for peace is rejected. I no longer want him to be put in power.” Sussex asked what brought this chain of thought? “I had a talk with a boy who told me what life would be like. If uncle Norsex was given land to coexist with.” Both men rose and thought thank god, but didn't say the words. “I want to go be with my wife. I will have a meeting tomorrow morning.”

In the medical room...

“That's right just let it out.” Emma was vomiting out all the bad stuff in her body. Aqua was rubbing her back while she did this. Nick was holding the container she was throwing up in. Rapier walked in the room and Emma stopped for a moment.

“I can't tell you how happy I am that you are alive.” Rapier said as she started to cry. Emma wanted to scold her for running away. She was filled with such anger towards Rapier, but her wife just kept crying. Her noise was loud and furious.

“Nick go hold her.”

“Right.” He ran to her as she fell to her knees and wouldn't stop sobbing. She buried her face in Nick's chest and his shirt got soaked. Right at this time Emma had to get more gunk out of her body. The evening ended with the 3 of them in the bed in the closet.

Out in the oceans,

a great distance from them...

“We have him on the run.” Santana was being pursued by draken gales in the deep part of the ocean. They were a unit of just as... big dragons. Not to mention they were trained to take out drakes just like him. Santana was up the river without a life line. He thought if he swam to the deep darkness he could hide. The unit wasn't going to let him get that far. They all prepared a breath attack in unison.

Then a bomb went off above them. It stunned them all and incapacitated them. Santana looked above them. An amethyst dragon was above them and signaling for him to follow. Santana hated Amethyst to his core, but didn't have a choice here...

At the meeting,

in the morning...

“I will allow 3 minutes for you all to say whatever to me.” Wessex asked why and what changed her mind, was it Emma's recovery? “No, I spoke with a boy who was hurt by uncle Norsex. He risked his neck by asking me to continue our war with him.” Essex told the room no further criticism was necessary.

“Right, now onto the matter of Santana. My unit was rendered immobile by help of his. We don't know who helped him. All that we do know is he isn't on this planet anymore. According to the tracking magic they hit him with.”

“Thank you Gate, I will hope to continue to have your support...”
