He stayed close to Mika as they went. Once they were in private Kurda wrapped his arms around the taller man tightly and gripped onto his shirt. “I don’t care… They shouldn’t have taken me from you.” He nuzzled at the dragon’s chest as he spoke. “I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to go home.”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     A soft sigh left him as he held the young man close, “They were only doing what they thought was right. To them you’ve been missing for how long?” There was a pause before he spoke again, “They just wanted to see their child again, Kurda. Can’t you try seeing it from their viewpoint?” His eyes closed as he rested his chin on the blonde’s head, “And I know you do, but if we do go back they’ll know where to find you again, you realize that yes?”

His smile came back and grew as the dragon confirmed his identity. He was so full of relief. Maybe they could go back to their home. Kurda quickly followed after Mika as he spoke. “I didn’t know… I don’t have memories of them or this place just you. And if being a Prince means being suffocated like this… I don’t think I want to be.”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     The Dragon’s head tilted a bit, “I suppose that’s partially my fault. I didn’t really think before taking you with me. They are your parents though, your scent is similar to theirs.” Glancing around again to make sure no one was around, he brought the blonde back to his quarters, opening and holding the door for him. Once he stepped inside, Mika followed in after and closed the door.

A small smile, the first since he’d been in the castle, appeared on Kurda’s face when his parents accepted the offer. He watched the dragon move then step back. The blonde waited impatiently through the rest of the ceremony, his blue gaze not leaving the now human dragon. Afterwards, and once he managed to break away from his parents, Kurda hurried right for the dragon. “Mika…?” His voice was uncertain but he was sure that it was him.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Seeing the blonde approach him, he gave a bow as to not arouse too many suspicions. Hearing his name leave Kurda’s lips, another smile graced his lips. “Yes, it’s me.” Glancing around a moment, his eyes went back to the Prince, “You never told me you were a Prince.” He murmured quietly, giving a small gesture to follow so they could talk somewhere more private.

The tired Prince did not look up at any of the new knights. He didn’t care and they were the reason he’d been taken from his dragon and his home. However, when one said his name he looked up. He didn’t know what to say turn them away or even if he was allowed to. Upon closer look at the man before them he felt familiar. Then, when those eyes looked his way, Kurda knew. Mika! It was his dragon but human. He didn’t know how or why Mika was human but he didn’t care. He never wanted the dragon to leave his side and prayed that his parents would let the man get away with this gesture.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Watching the King and Queen speak with one another, it was easy for him to hear what they were saying. Hearing the conversation end in his favour, a small smile came to his face. “While it is unorthodox, we see no harm in the pledge.” The King spoke. Bowing his head, Mika stayed still as a sword gently tapped each shoulder. Standing back up, he bowed before moving back to where he was previously. As the ceremony came to an end, the Dragon stayed back, where he could easily be found by the Prince. It felt great knowing they’d finally be able to speak again.

Kurda stayed silent on the way to the new castle. Upon arriving he already hated it. There was so much noise and far too much touching for his liking. It didn’t compare to what they forced him to wear though. Everything about this new place was suffocating and it made the blonde completely miserable. The weeks there only made him feel worse. On top of everything, one night a storm was raging outside. The entire night, Kurda lie awake curled up and crying in his bed, wishing his dear dragon was there to comfort him. After that night his mood only dropped further. A few days later, the people claiming to be his parents forced him to sit in on a ceremony of some sort. It had to do with knights but he really didn’t care since he resented each and everyone of them.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Seeing the blonde, Mika could tell he was miserable here. As the Dragon knelt before the King and Queen, he stayed silent, with his head down. When it came time for him to speak, he raised his head slightly so he could be heard. “I swear fealty to Prince Kurda.” Finally lifting his head completely, he could hear the surprised gasps and soft murmuring among those who were gathered. Keeping his grey eyes forward, he could tell the rulers were surprised as well. Stealing a glance at the young man, he wondered if that would get his attention before looking back at the King and Queen.

“But…” Kurda suddenly lost his will to fight as tears filled his eyes. The dragon and the old castle were all he knew and it was being taken from him. He didn’t know what to do to keep this from happening as he didn’t have the strength to fend off the knight.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Not allowing himself to be broken down over the sight of the blonde’s tears, the knight continued on and brought the young Prince home. Over the weeks the other was missing from the run down castle, the Dragon was irritable and upset. As he curled up the one night, he could hear the storm outside. Tail lashing, he was worried for Kurda and hoped he was alright wherever he was. When he finally managed to fall asleep, he was shocked in the morning to find he wasn’t a Dragon any longer. He could still feel his power though, so he got the sense he wasn’t like this permanently. Realizing this meant he could leave the castle without getting attacked, he stumbled to go find some clothes. Finding some that fit, he practiced walking on two legs. After he was confident he could walk without falling, he left the old castle. It didn’t take long for him to catch word of the missing Prince being rescued from a Dragon. Knowing instantly it was Kurda, he made his way for the palace. It took him a few days, but he eventually arrived, saying the the guards he wished to become a knight.

“Yes, I am! I-I’ve lived here all my life!” The blonde squirmed more the further the stranger walked away. “Mika!” He called out to the dragon, not realizing that he wouldn’t be heard. “I don’t care, I don’t want to leave! Please let me go!” Kurda’s panic was rising the farther he got from the dragon.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     The knight adjusted his hold to make it firmer, being careful not to hurt Kurda. Knowing his call wouldn’t harm anything, he didn’t stop him from doing so, “I’m sorry but I can’t.” He felt bad at this point, pulling the other away from here, but he knew it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t come back without the young man. He had his family to think of after all.

Kurda had barely noticed being move at first and had only thought the dragon was shifting in his sleep. However, when the warmth of the scaled creature left him and a hand held his mouth the blonde suddenly felt more awake. He started to struggle more and more as he woke up even as he was picked up. “Wh-What are you talking about? I am home! Let me go!”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     The knight shook his head as he kept walking, “No you’re not. Your parents have been worried sick about you for years. It was only recently they found out you were still alive.” He explained, “And I’m sorry but I can’t. They’ll have my head if I come back empty handed.” The knight was just glad the Dragon hadn’t woken up. He’d chosen to come at night so he could avoid fighting it.

     The Dragon was sleeping soundly, curled up tightly, so when the knight made his way towards him, he lay undisturbed. Spotting the Prince, the knight gently grabbed him, putting a hand over his mouth to keep him from waking the beast. While he found it strange the Prince was sleeping so close to the Dragon, he wasn’t going to question it. Once they were out of earshot of the reptile, and seeing as the blonde was struggling more as he woke, the man uncovered his mouth to pick him up, “I apologize your Majesty but I need to bring you home.”

“If ya haven’t noticed I ain’t exactly normal. Kinda prevents me from knowin’ certain things.” Emmet liked women- and men even -but that did not mean he knew how to go about getting attention the right way. His head tilted again. The shark had noticed that she was only talking to a set few people. “Let me guess… Vampire?”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     “I was referring to myself mainly. Clearly I’m unphased about the folks here. And perhaps you should ask if anyone else knows anything more.” When the guess came, an amused smirk appeared on her, “There you go. Probably wouldn’t have picked up on the fact you were following me otherwise.” The other had been pretty quiet about his approach.

[internationalwhitesubway-blog]

“Yeah, I probably would.” He admitted. She was so pretty, he couldn’t help it. His head tilted at her phrasing of the last sentence. It seemed she had caught on to his problem. “Well I couldn’t do anythin’ now but I wont be tiny forever, ya know. Well at least I don’t think I will be.”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     “You know there are better ways to get a woman’s attention. And less life threatening.” Oh, so he wasn’t always this small then? “Either way I doubt you could stop me. I’m not exactly human after all.” She was surprised he hadn’t figured it out. She was normally talking to Kurda or Larten when she was here and Hibernius when it wasn’t the other Vampires.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     “Yes but you still tried. Probably will again in the future too.” Maybe not to her exactly, but to someone else. Hearing the last sentence, she blinked at the way it was phrased, “Well you were acting like a pest and some pests do become pets. Either way it’s not as if you could exactly fight me off if I did try something.” Hopefully phrasing it that way told him she wouldn’t.

[internationalwhitesubway-blog]

Emmet had been following the girl for a little bit. He’d seen her come and go, taking messages to Kurda. The shark had thought her pretty and was taking advantage of his small form to get a ‘closer look’ at her. When he was caught, though, he whined and squirmed, his cat tail lashing a bit. Emmet looked up at her when she spoke. “Well I mean he probably already knows whether he’s here or not.”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     An amused giggle left her at his reaction to getting caught, “True, but I’m sure if I bothered to mention it face to face to him you would be punished in some way. I know what you were trying to do.” She hummed a bit, purposely keeping him away from her body as she looked him over, “Though it’s tempting to keep you for myself as a pet.” He was rather cute looking after all.

     The female Vampire had been visiting the traveling Cirque, mainly to pass along a message from her father to Kurda. As she stepped out of the tent the younger Vampire was in, she realized she was being followed, even if they thought she didn’t. Deciding to let him think she didn’t know he was there, she waited until he was close to lean down and snatch him up, “Seems as though I caught myself a little pest. Should I tell Hibernius, I wonder?”

Kurda hadn’t known what to expect but certainly not to be hit. He flinched as his head turned from it. His blue gaze shifted down as tears stung them. The younger vampire wanted to say something but couldn’t as he was forced against Mika. He squeezed his eyes shut and gripped onto the bigger vampire as the tears fell. “I-I’m sorry…” He murmured as the hold on him tightened. “I couldn’t help it…”

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Taking a breath, “I know.” He murmured, “I know you can’t. But I refuse to lose you again, even in your thoughts.” Loosening his grip, he wiped away the smaller Vampire’s tears with his hand. Cupping his cheek, he pressed a kiss to his mate’s forehead. He partly regretted striking him, knowing that’s what caused his tears, but he couldn’t take it back now.

[honorboundwarriors]

He sighed a bit. “To be honest no…” Kurda knew very well that is would get him in trouble. “But I know I need to. I can’t exactly fight them on my own. Just don’t be too angry with me.” The younger vampire tired to think of words that would make it sound less horrible but no matter how it was said it would be awful. “I…I often have suicidal thoughts… It started not long after Mr. Tiny brought me back. My failure was part of the reason but… knowing I’d likely never see you again was a huge part of it…” It was painful to say so he just knew it would be painful to hear.

[vampiremountainoddities]

     Mika wasn’t so much angry as he was upset. Sooner than he thought it through, he hand lashed out and slapped the blonde across his face. Before anything could be said he pulled him into his arms and held him tightly. He wasn’t sure what to say at the moment, so instead he opted for just holding Kurda like he was. It might’ve been a little too tight of a grip, but he knew it wouldn’t hurt him.
