Dragon Bound Part 1
Author Note: WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO MY NEW WORK! It’s being called ‘Dragon Bound’ (for now at least). For the time being, this is going to be an original work set within a WWE-Paranormal/AU type of setting.
That means original male characters and original female characters as the leads with occasional appearances of already established ‘characters’ (a la Triple H, Stephanie Mc., Roman Reigns, etc).
Let me know what you think!! This journey is just getting started.

Dragon Bound: Part 1 Word Count: 860 for the actual story Rating for P. 1: E is for Everybody
David was incredibly antsy. Even though he’d been on the main roster on RAW for a few months now, every show still felt like a new experience. And he sought to impress the big wigs and remind me them just why they brought him up from NXT each and every single time.
But something about tonight… this Monday night had a different feel to it. Walking into the BOK center in Tulsa, where a special episode of RAW was being filmed this week, he just couldn’t shake the goose bumps that crept up the back of his neck.
“Hey man!” A voice called out to him as he walking to catering, causing him to jump. The same voice cackled, receiving a scowl from David. “So, the new hot item on the roster – David Levias – is easily spooked huh? Oh don’t look at me like that.”
“Fuck off, Rollins.”
Seth raised his hands, eyeing the newbie warily, “Testy, testy! What’s up man?” David grunted.
“I don’t know. I’m just really on edge for some dumb ass reason.” David ran a hand through his hair, frustrated.
“Hmm. Seeing as I don’t know your background exactly, I’m almost tempted to say it’s a more human issue.” David snorted, slightly amused. “Oh yeah? And that’d be?”
“You need to get laid man.” David took a swing at Seth, who was laughing hysterically as he dodged the attack. “Easy man, you know it was just a joke.”
“Ah fuck off.” Seth’s annoying laugh echoed through the arena as David continued to catering. He couldn’t help but to think that maybe the annoying Encantado* might have a point. Either way, it was going to be a long, long night.
A few hours later, the same sensation hadn’t left him. In fact, it kept growing worse. Now in his ring gear, he sat in the locker room doing his dead level best to ignore the feeling that was rising to the surface.
He was busying himself with wrapping his hands and tapping his feet. To say he was anxious about the impending match was an understatement. It was perhaps the biggest one of his career to date - the type to make or break a push.
Suddenly, he felt a dull ache in his side. Head snapping up, his nostrils flared as he caught a new scent on the air. A scent that was fresh and clean and sent a pounding in his veins the likes of which he has never felt before. Beating a hot path towards the gorilla position, he hovered just behind the curtain – scenting the air again and again. Eyes focused, he could barely see a faint topaz glow in the area. Clutching his side, the sensation of a tattoo gun at work spread across his skin. It was then a hand appeared on his shoulder.
“Pull the match.”
“But sir – “
“You get paid to write and you get paid to listen to me. Pull the match. Get creative with something. Write him out with an injury. Something, damn it I don’t care what right now.”
“May we ask why sir?” David vaguely realized the voice belonged to none other than one of his bosses, Hunter Helmsley**– better know by his in ring persona of Triple H.
“Just. Pull. The. Match.” The owner of the authoritative voice suddenly grabbed him by the nape of the neck, pulling him back towards the locker-room. “C’mon, lover-boy. Just when we thought you weren’t ever going to manifest….”
“Manifest? What the hell do you mean Hunter?” His voice croaked.
“Oh yes… You just crossed paths with your other half. And it’s bringing your perspective beast to the surface. Speaking of which…. What’s with your side?” David just shook his head. Hunter yanked at the hem of the tank top, raising it up. He chuckled, an eyebrow shooting up and a smirk crossing his features. “I see…”
“What? What am I?”
“A dragon.” David blinked rapidly. He was not unfamiliar with the fact that the WWE had become a haven for all sorts of creatures and machinations of the paranormal kind. And he was also not unfamiliar with the fact that his own ancestry had been pretty well hidden from him from an early age. Now to find out he was one of them… And more over to find out apparently his mate – his missing piece – was out in the crowd in Tulsa only fueled the beast closer to the surface.
“You were right to pull the match, sir. I feel….”
“Out of control? Like you’d go into the crowd if I let you go out there and not realize it?” David took a shaky breath and nodded. “Don’t worry, son. We got resources to help you with this change. Come on.” And before he knew it, David was swept into the locker room to gather his things and then escorted from the building. He couldn’t help but wonder as he sat into his rental car as to how Hunter was going to explain his prolonged absence.
I know you’re here in Oklahoma, little one. I will be back. And the black car faded into the night. -------------------------------------------------
Author’s notes: Okay few things to explain. Levias is obviously a play on the word Leviathan, which is a cousin term to Dragon. So obvious is obvious there right? Second, I put Seth as an Encantando because according to the resources on mythological creatures I found it’s listed as a ‘trickster dolphin’ or something and I felt like Seth might fit the idea of a ‘trickster’. I will define others for you as I put them in here and explain my thinking on the pick. Also, I know Trips real name is NOT Hunter but I will only use real names as appropriate (such as where a wrestler is actually using their name etc). Part 2 is unknown as of yet. I’m trying to decide if I want to go straight to David’s time away and training etc or if I want to introduce our OFC. Let me know what you think. (PSTT!
