Taken, Again

June 5, 2018May 5, 2016 by Pandora de Romanus

As the fight with the Draconians continued, we knew that David now had first hand knowledge that Merida and the twins, Maharet and Mekare, had special powers that persisted through their transition into vampires. This is something that was so unusual, but because this power came from the elements it stayed with them. Of course, finding out that Merida came from Maharet’s mortal line was a shock to us all, most especially Va’lis. My son, because that’s who we both — Marius and I — believe him to be now, has a severe protective nature over Merida. Not only because it was the first he ever turned, but also they kind of grew up together, if you will. Despite their tumultuous relationship, they found a very happy medium and celebrate their family now… especially because of the kids now. As Merida and Armand have expanded their family, it has brought all of us such joy.

The evening of May 7th we were all celebrating another double year for Saphira. Saphi grows twice as fast now as she is part dragon, so she’s moving along nicely in her development. Marius and I took our happy butts home to Romanus Manor and Cherry took the kids back to Monticello for the night as they were spending the weekend with her and Va’lis. Val decided to stay and chat with Armand and Merida over a bottle or two or six of wine. The laughed and told jokes… the three of them finally got along well enough to really enjoy the night. Val finally decided to mozey on home and Merida decided to walk with him back to Monticello. Armand stayed and like the dutiful husband he had become cleaned up the house and patiently awaited his wife to return for a romantic night alone. So he waited… And waited… And waited.

Having such a close relationship with my own dragon, Dragula, and having read countless books and old texts about these majestical creatures I can really relate to my capricious, energetic, and loving granddaughter, Saphira. You see, she’s part dragon. Now Dragula has never manifested into his mortal form, although I know he has one. He feels like he has no use for it, for he’s accepted in his true form as in all his glory. Not all dragons feel that way however.

While most seem to cling to a solitary life, in truth they seek companionship just like any other creature. Oftentimes, they develop real human connections, which turn romantic. That’s how Saphira came to be. Her mother, a mortal, fell in love with what she believed was a wonderful man. For years, they lived together and he would travel a lot but would return often. Then when she became pregnant, he had no choice to tell her his secret. The pregnancy was not unlike a mortal’s pregnancy with the exception of the birth. What Saphira’s mother delivered was a leathery sac that formed into a dragon’s egg shortly after. It is as if there are two gestational periods for dragonkin. After the first, the second takes only a short few months at which time the egg hatches and what seems to be a mortal baby is delivered. How they grow and develop from there has varied differently from type to type in my experience.

The Tribunal of Marius de Romanus, Pt. 17

My husband and I entered the room together right as Merida was walking down to testify. Carrie was on her feet wanting soooo much to go with Merida but she was not allowed. Va’lis could do absolutely nothing for Merida but hug her. He had to let her go do her thing. I simply just confidently kissed her cheek. I knew my daughter would give them hell the likes of which they had never seen.

I looked over to Carrie and she had moved to the front and damn near pressed her face to the glass wanting to see everything and for them all to see her. She was getting stronger by every minute. She wanted to be sure Merida could see her through the glass. I squeezed her shoulder before passing through and sitting down next to Falke. My husband stood by Carrie’s side for a while before sitting on the other side of me, next to Rich. Rich was bouncing his knee up and down. You could tell he was anxious and there was a sense of overprotectiveness to him. Va’lis put his hand on Rich’s knee to stop the motion. Rich gave him a haphazard smile. The two of them were getting along fabulously. At least one thing was going right for Va’lis.

The Tribunal of Marius de Romanus, Pt. 16

May 17, 2015 by

The main thing I did while in that private box was observe and listen- from the beginning of Maharet’s oath taking, I knew that she was in control. Or, at least, she felt that way. I didn’t really know much of anything down here… But I had to grin at her reply to the Order’s deputy and his whole spiel. I enjoyed how Maharet schooled the counselor Windsor, and I felt no pity for her when she got scared by Maharet standing up. I didn’t know what all happened, but I hope that bitch learned a bit about her place. Is that vicious of me? Should I even care? I mean, these people surely are not my own. Quite the opposite- they want to harm those I care for. I take a mental note to myself to always remember this, and vowed to always keep the Draconian family far away, or under my complete control. I did, however, cringe when Maharet admitted to burning Zeeke even though Merida was being released- I knew that bitch deserved all she got, and that Maharet was not the one being charged here, but one should never admit to anything in a court of law.

I saw Cherry leaving with Va’lis. It was hard to stay in my seat- she was the one who had invited me to come with the whole troupe, and I could tell something was wrong. I had no clue what- but it had to be important… Important enough to warrant my aunt- my favorite aunt!- leaving the place where it’ll be decided if Marius faces prison time- while it was being decided! And Marius is… Well, important! But because Cherry had invited me, I also knew that I had to be good. I wanted to impress her with how I handled this important event. I knew I needed to stay in my seat, and remain proper. I waited, then, interested in hearing whatever cross interviewing techniques and tactics the Counselor Talbot took, and wanting to hear Maharet’s replies.
