In the east, a man and a woman can be seen sitting together in a beautiful garden surrounded by beautiful rare blooming flowers that are gently swaying their leaves as if happy for the couples visit and presence. The man is holding the woman who has the back of her head on his chest with one hand while using the other to comb through her long inky smooth hair while they are both watching how the evening sunset makes the city shine like a jewel in a desert, beautiful and mesmerising.
After a while of watching the evening sun setting, the man stood up and gently picked up the woman who seems to have fallen asleep from the comfort. Holding her as gently as possible, he materialized his huge wings to fly them both to the huge mansion that is suspended in the air.

Inside the large beautifully decorated bedroom with precious stones that oozes elegance, the man laid the beautiful woman on the bed while sitting near her and stroking her hair with one hand while using the other to pull the cover over her.
While doing all these, his mind started drifting away. It has been a week already since the announcement of his soul mate’s unexpected pregnancy. He knows it is a good thing but, who knew that inside this good news, bad news lurk. if he has to choose between this child and the safety of his mate, then he will unhesitantly chose his mate and he knows not to think this thought out loud since he would feel her never ending wrath which is very bad when going by his book.
He loves his children very much even this unborn one as any other dragon that will be very excited to be a father but if it will have the life of his mate in return…. He doesn’t want to choose.
He sighed and murmured, “I hope there is a good news from the palace”
Due to the shortage in reproduction, dragons become very excited at any news of dragon children being born and everyone in the east has the responsibility to take care of them until adulthood and due to this, no attack on children are allowed and if found, it will be like poking in a bee nest.
Reigning in his inner turmoil, the man bent down slightly and kissed his mate on the cheek and stood up to his full height of six foot. He looked at his sleeping mate gently while touching his mind to hers for reassurance. Although his mind and soul has already been bounded to hers, touching his mind to her from time to time always helped him balance himself.
Soul mates in the dragon clan is as precious as children if not more. The number of soul mated dragons does not even reach a single finger. Dragon clan has two types of mating rituals, one which is called the mate of the heart, this type of mating ritual means that dragons are free to choose who they want as their wife but the consequences of this is that only one child can be born between the couples and finding the other half that is compatible and not cause rejection from the ritual is almost as stringent as the second ritual because getting rejected by the ritual means certain death to the chosen one.
The second one which is the strongest of the two types of bonds and also the one with the stringent requirement, soul mating bond ritual which means that dragons do not the free will to choose their mate, if he or she dies, the other follows and their mate can be of any bloodline. At the moment, only a few has found the other half of their soul among human with ordinary bloodlines.
Passing a hand through his golden hair to make it more presentable he continued murmuring to himself, “I am the dragon lord, there is nothing I cannot get”. Ye sha is the current dragon lord that rule the east.
While saying that to himself, he turned to walk out of the door when he suddenly froze after thinking of something. His sharp jawline and prominent cheekbones twitched at the thought of ‘paperwork’. Although dragon rule the east with great freedom since they are freedom lovers, but they still couldn’t escape the basic responsibility necessity.
He pursed his thin lips while his thick brows furrowed which is the only given evidence of his agitation. After a while, his tall muscular frame with broad shoulders slumped in depression before resuming his walk that will lead him out of his beloved’s room and into his torment. ‘I am the dragon lord. How can I be afraid of paperwork?’ he murmured in his heart to encourage himself while picking himself up so as to look strong since he is almost out the door.

Outside the door, two dragon soldiers are standing beside the door with straight posture and cold faces when the suddenly felt the signature aura of their commander in chief approaching. They didn’t move since its customary to reveal one’s aura in order to identify one’s self in the dragon clan. they straightened their spines to look even more presentable since they are the cream of the crop chosen through battle rankings selections to become part of their lady mistress lifeguard which is a high honour for them.
Its to say that dragons love battling and are absolutely competitive and proud of their battling prowess so, to keep in top form and not cause chaos, any battling has to be settled through battle rankings and also in the arena.
