Posted using PostyBirb", "writing": "If I were to visit the Dragon’s Heir tribe, it would be only a matter of time before I find myself in the presence of the tribe’s leader and close friend, Queen Tikana.\nWhen I was brought to her room, she sat upon her mound of gold, emulating the dragon she was always so desperate to be. After all, why shouldn’t she be a dragon? The tribe had spent generations of selective breeding just to make one. Here she is—the closest thing they had ever conceived—the crown jewel of their accomplishment and the one whose full potential to spread divinity onto the future generation rested upon her shoulders.\nThis is, of course, concerning. When she chose to continue the genetic line, upon our meeting, I saw the fruits of that labor straight up in the form of an egg. She caressed the thing tenderly, cooing into it and nuzzling her cheek upon the shell.\nIt’s not the standard course for the mother to have such a close connection to their egg. It is a communal situation in the hatchery where the midwives and matrons take care of all the many needs required for complete and healthy growth.\nWatching Tikana nuzzle and coddle the thing all by herself gave me a knot in my stomach.\nPerhaps she sensed my discomfort and stared at me with tired eyes. “In all your travels, Tik Tik, have you never once lain a fertile egg?”\n“Never,” I replied, “and I shan’t believe I shall with the knowledge I’ve gained.”\n‘Thanks to your knowledge, I now understand motherhood's joys. It was something my own mother never knew, whoever she was.” She caresses the shell and presses her nose upon it. “One day soon, this shall hatch, and from it, a great creature, better than I, and it’s all thanks to what you’ve provided us.”\n“Ti… My queen,” I had to catch myself more and more when I spoke candidly. I had once been her nestmate, growing up with her as a hatchling. But then I was her servant, most trusted advisor, and now a guest.\nWhat exactly is our relationship? One would think I could simply ask it of her, but it is not her royal standing that kept me from doing so… it was my misgivings about myself and our current status.\nShe waited for my response. I had her attention. I just needed to make sure that I didn’t waste her time.\n“I never approved of your coupling with that villain, but I know it’s not my place to tell you what to do, but I shall never know the so-called joys of motherhood.”\nTikana sighed. “The father had misgivings about you for so long, but after the Tournament, not so much. Things are different now. If you just talk to her.” She stops and shakes her head. “No, let us not speak of that. How about you? Surely, magic will allow you to pass on your amazing intelligence, just as I will pass down my superior scales and wings.”\n“And the chronic pain you have in your crown?” I asked her, pointing to the many horns that point inward toward each other. “Where it is difficult to clean, and the doctors must trim and scrape? Or how about your poor eyesight, inability to navigate the tunnels of your kingdom, and needing to rely on light sources to see anything? Let’s not forget how your mind differs from others, oh queen.”\nTikana sighed. “Different as your mind is different, Tik Tik?” She drapes her arms over the egg, wrapping her legs around it. “Every time we meet now, it’s the same tired situation. Don’t you ever miss how things used to be?”\n“One cannot mend things because they want them to be a certain way. We are two different creatures now, with our goals much different than before.”\n“And yet, you still help us in your own way. How is Quiquan doing?”\n“I’ll be sure to write a report for you when I can,” I responded. “In the meanwhile, isn’t that little one a little late?”\n“Oh, Elicia said it was natural for one with a godlike heritage like this one,” the queen says. Her tender, loving gaze made me sick as I stared at her. The haughty, holier-than-thou woman I once knew had changed. Part of me wondered if part of that was the spell the enchanting elf had placed upon my lifelong friend or if this is what motherhood does to someone. It isn’t something I have much experience with. And if this is the spell that it puts one under, it is something I am not so interested in.”\nI bowed before Tikana and bid her adieu, believing there was nothing else to discuss. She was the one to lift her head and beckon me to remain.\n“I know you have your differences with Elicia in the past, but she has granted me a gift far beyond anything I could find within our tribe, and in her last visit, she expressed her remorse for all the wrongs she had done to you.”\n“Does that include impregnating you simply to get under my skin?”\nTikana frowned at that, her grip on the egg tightening. “Oh, so you’re returning to that, are you?”\n“It is the truth, is it not? She made you subservient to her so she could boast it before me.”\nTikana scoffs. “If you have nothing else to say to me but these tired accusations, you may leave. In fact…” She took a deep breath and then bellowed, her roar reverberating throughout the cavern. Once the sound and the vibration stopped rumbling through my chest, she paused and stared me down, swelling. “You can bring up your complaints to the guards.\nResigning myself to what was to come, I lifted my hands, placed them behind my head, and slowly turned around to face the incoming guards.", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "If I were to visit the Dragon’s Heir tribe, it would be only a matter of time before I find myself in the presence of the tribe’s leader and close friend, Queen Tikana.
