Why not a young dragon who wants to start having his very own hoard, along with a kidnapped princess?

>>944886
>>944888
Switching. Kidnap all of the royals.

>>944863
A peasant turned prophet of an evil god

>>944888
I will support this idea.

The Ayes have it!
-------
You forget how long you've been flying for now. Every time you think you've found a cave, it always turns out that the cave was too small to hold a good sized hoard, had little to no room to hold a princess, or was just way too cramped. Maybe mother was right, maybe you should have stayed with the family and plundered the country side. It was good eating, the locals paid their ransoms on time, and the king's daughters made for wonderful slaves.

But, what's this? Is that a good cave down below you? Good thing you flew over the...

>Desert, filled with sultans with caravans filled with gold and luscious princesses to capture.
>Mountains, its gold and jewel mines are close by too and the princesses are innocent.
>Forest, the villages nearby always carry to the capital and the capital means that there will gold AND princesses right next to each other.

>>944908
>Mountains, its gold and jewel mines are close by too and the princesses are innocent.

>>944908
>Desert, filled with sultans with caravans filled with gold and luscious princesses to capture.

>>944908
>Mountains, its gold and jewel mines are close by too and the princesses are innocent.

>>944908
I'd say desert, it's not often associated with dragon and it could be fun

>>944908
>Desert, filled with sultans with caravans filled with gold and luscious princesses to capture.

>>944916
>>944919
>>944931
The desert, if only its golden sands were just that. The cave you see beneath you is part of a fairly large oasis, so you'll never have to worry much about water. You land and you see that the cave seems to be very big on the inside as well and you see a fairly nice area where future princesses can be kept. This is a good place. You chuckle to yourself and lay down for a bit. The flight here was long and you need to rest up a bit.

After a few hours of rest, you awaken to hear a someone yelling outside.

>Mortals? In my lair? Not today!
>This is beneath me, probably a bandit is murdering someone outside.

>>944950
>Mortals? In my lair? Not today!

>>944950
>Mortals? In my lair? Not today!

>>944950
>Mortals? In my lair? Not today!

>>944960

>>944987
You had just settled in and now you have these foolish mortals yelling outside your domain? Bah, this is why you used to eat them. It shut up the rest of them very fast and they usually never came back.

"Your father promised us a great deal of money, milady! And now I find that you and your family are broke? What good is a sultan without any money, eh?"

You sneakily look out of your cave to witness a group of heavily armed men throwing around a woman. Their tongues licking her skin as they laughed. The woman was dressed in very shiny and skimpy clothing, almost see through. Might as well not have been wearing anything at all.

"Please, my father still has money! He'll pay you whatever you want!"

The man in the white armor laughed and twirled his mustache.

"No, I think you're father can pay us with your voluptuous body!"

The woman screamed and cried as the men began to force her down.

Hang on, sultans and basically kings... She's his daughter... She must be a princess!

>Just going out there and killing them all wouldn't be fun. I'll turn into my human form and walk out (M/F)
>I'll just walk out and take her. What're they going to do, stab me with those little toothpicks?
>I'm a bit hungry... I don't NEED a princess right now. I'll just eat them all.

>>945019
>>I'll just walk out and take her. What're they going to do, stab me with those little toothpicks?
Do it quickly. They might get a lucky stab.

>>945019
>I'll just walk out and take her. What're they going to do, stab me with those little toothpicks?
Acquiring princess

>>945019
>I'll just walk out and take her. What're they going to do, stab me with those little toothpicks?

>>945025
>>945028
>>945034
As one of the men takes off his pants, you walk out and grab the girl. It's very silent and the girl simply looks up at you. Her eyes are wide and you can feel her trembling within your hands. As you turn around you can hear one of the men manage to squeak out the word dragon. You enter the cave and put her in the special place you have in your cave and look out towards the men. The man in the white armor is trying to find the right words to say about what he had just seen. Instead, you can hear gasps and groans of fear coming from his mouth.

Not one man is moving.

>"Dragon, the word you are looking to say is dragon." go back into the cave.
>"Boo" spit out a little bit of fire as you say that.
>Laugh and go back into the cave.
>Write in

>>945059
>write in
Kill them all

>>945059
>"Dragon, the word you are looking to say is dragon."
>"boo"
>>Laugh and go back into the cave.

>>945059
>"Dragon, the word you are looking for is dragon."
Then kill them all.

>>945059
>Write in
Burn them till they are one with the sand, don't want an entire army to attack your lair, even if it's a dragon it's still fairly young and weak

>>945069
This

If we choose to kill them, at least leave one.
We need to be known, if people are to start paying us the tribute we're due.

>>945069
This, but leave one survivor so we can begin getting our fame up.

>>945064
>>945069
>>945072
You puff up you chest and feel fire beginning to swell in your chest. You can almost smell the fire swelling inside you. You growl out the words that will haunt them as they enter whatever afterlife they believe in.

"Dragon, I believe the word you are looking for is dragon."

Before a single word could be spoken in response, your fire burst forth. The roar of your fire drowning out any sort of scream that managed to exit their now charred throats. You laugh a little bit as one human that was hiding behind a tree tried to run out into the desert before you smashed him into the sand with your tail. It's good to feel the thrill of a small battle, even if there was no real danger to you in this instance.

Wait. Did you breath fire? Or did you breath something else?

>Yes, I breath fire.
>No, I breath a different element. (What element is your breath weapon.)

>>945083
>>945084
I can retcon it so you leave a single man alive, if that's what you all want.

>>945100
>Yes, I breath fire.

>>945100
>No, I breath a different element. (Water)

>>945100
>No, I breath a different element. (What element is your breath weapon.)
LIGHTNING
>>945108
I guess if the other anons agree you could do it.

>>945100
>>945114
Yes lightning breath!

And I'd prefer them all dead.
We need to settle first.
I want our first impression to be something good

>>945108
I'd say keep it as it is they are mere bandit and we want to keep a low profile before gaining power

>>945114
>>945117
We'll do lightning.
-----
The spasm of the humans made for a very amusing spectacle. But, for now, you need to deal with your new princess.

You look back to her inside your cave. She is still in shock after seeing you breath evaporate a group of men.

"M... My-My thanks dragon... I... I'm in your debt... However... I must ask that you let me leave... So that I may report your deeds to my father... He will...He will give you much treasure."

Oh, she's still lying to you.

>If her family has no gold, then what good is she? Eat her.
>Well, she's more of a small trophy to me. I'll cast a spell on her or manipulate her to stay with me.
>Hm, she knows what treasures this land holds. I'll keep her head clear until she tells me everything I know and then we'll see.

>>945173
>Hm, she knows what treasures this land holds. I'll keep her head clear until she tells me everything I know and then we'll see

>>Hm, she knows what treasures this land holds. I'll keep her head clear until she tells me everything I know and then we'll see.

>>945204
>>945179
>>945177
You creep closer to her and tilt your head to the side.

"You will satisfy my curiosity and my question. After that, we will see what I do with you."

The girl shakes her head and tries to keep her self calm.

"Wh-What do you want to know? I am knowledgeable in all the ins and outs of our sparse kingdoms in this land. I-I also know about the most recent events in our lands, as well as rumors about the main familes."

>Ask away.

>>945218
Who is the richest family in these lands

>>945218
>What's the name of this land? And yours.
>Are there other royals like you?
>Why is your family goldless?

>>945218
>Where is the wealthiest family in this land.
And this >>945224 too

>>945224
This

>>945224
>>945234
"This is the land of 10,000 temples, The Holy Land of Sanshira. Though we have many different ruling leaders, the main family would be mine, The Al'Menans. As for our... predicament... A war has broken out in our lands since..."

She trails off and looks down at her necklace. Her eyes show that she is remembering something very close to her. Maybe a close relative died.

"Our family is without a male heir and I am the remaining child of the ruling sultan. Our gold is being used to fund the war effort against the coalition of rebels. My name is Ferah Al'Menans, the last living heir to the Golden City of Sintra and my father would still give you much gold if you were to return me safe and sound."

>Ask more.
>I believe that is all I have. Now, as for your fate...

>>945218
>Do you have any sisters?
>Where were those men from?

>>945268
>I believe that is all I have. Now, as for your fate...
Demand her hand in marriage thus getting an entire kingdom at our disposal once the Sultan dies of "Natural" causes.

>>945272
Scratch this, it was for the previous vote.

>>945268
>What would happen if you were to marry someone? Would the kingdom then have its heir?

>>945268
>Why were you out here without better guard?
Unless her answer precludes it,
>We will visit your father now.
I smell a potential to take this sultanate over, if we keep it intact until her father dies of age as mortals are wont to do. A kingdom of humans will bolster our horde nicely.

>>945268
>I believe that is all I have. Now, as for your fate...

>>945280
I was actually wondering if we could take over the house and end the rebel problem.
If she is telling the truth so much money could be made.

>>945292
Plus we can start a harem. One wife from each of the families! A question is also raised: can dragons and human women breed?

>>945318
Guess theres only one way to find out!

>>945318
>Harmen
I rather not. The other dragon quest was terrible.

Suggestion--With 10,000 temples, there might be room for one more God. A dragon-god. A lightning god. A god who really appreciates offerings of gold and jewels...

>>945359
And the occassional virgin woman?

>>945280
>>945291
>>945289
"That is all I have. Now, as for your fate... You will be wed to me now."

Ferah steps back a bit and gasps.

"But-But you are not... I cannot..."

She shakes her head and tries to back away even more.

"If I marry, then my family will no longer be the one who posses the power in the kingdoms. I will not marry you, dragon!"

She yells out the dragon part like it was an insult. Mother was right, humans are stupid. however, she is scared and young in terms of mortals. Maybe she could be persuaded to marry you or you could simply cloud her mind with your magic. She does seem sad at the fact that there is a war going on.

>Cloud her mind with magic, she's my pawn now.
>I could end the rebellion and marriage would be my only term to do so.
>Pffft, too much work. Time to eat her.
>Write in.

>>945382
>I could end the rebellion and marriage would be my only term to do so.

>>945382
>I could end the rebellion and marriage would be my only term to do so.
There is a high chance using magic to brainwash her could possibly bite us in the ass later. Besides, what could a mere human rebellion do to even hurt us?

>>945382
>I could end the rebellion and marriage would be my only term to do so.

>>945382
>Cloud her mind with magic, she's my pawn now.
USe her as our avatar.

>>945382
I definitely didn't agree to marry her without her father's blessing.

But, end the rebellion then.

>>945382
>I could end the rebellion and marriage would be my only term to do so.

Besides which wouldn't she rather we have a reason to protect her kingdom instead of pillage and burn it?

>>945387
>>945389
>>945394
"I could end this rebellion."

She looks up at you and then turns around.

"Why would a dragon care about our affairs?"

Using your silver tongue, you begin to list off the reasons as to why you care, making yourself to be a good dragon. The half truths and empty words finally begin to get to her.

"And you'd promise to be kind?"

You chuckle as you see your words have done their work.

"I am a dragon, I never go back on my word. All that is required of you is your hand in marriage."

She is silent for a few moments before slowly nodding her head.

"I think I could convince father to allow you to marry me... Fine, I will accept these terms."

You smile.

>I will rest for the time being before we leave. You should do the same.
>Then we leave now.
>Write in.

>>945419
>I will rest for the time being before we leave. You should do the same.
Need to be well well rested for our important journey.

So are we gonna be the BBEG with good publicity while we take over the world?

>>945419

>>945419

>BBEG dragon

You people are god awful at making evil decisions

>>945475
Thats the thing, we could do all that shadow espionage bullshit or we could just flatten a couple weaklings and instant kingdom! Besides, once were Sultan we can do whatever we want and no one can stop us!

>>945475
Long-con dude. Once we're in charge we have an entire kingdom at our disposal. Then we can set our sights on taking the world by storm.

>>945419
Let's get on with it then.

>>945419

"I will show you where to go."

You motion for her to climb on your back and walk out of your cave. She recoils at the site of the crushed man in the dunes and whimpers as she smells the slight smell of burnt flesh. You stretch out your wings and begin to flap as you rise up into the air.
-------
After constant reassurances that she will not fall, you finally come to a place where she says the city is. You look to see it and it almost brings a tear to your eye. It is a large city, possibly the biggest you have ever seen and in the middle stands a magnificent golden temple. It is glorious and you can't wait until it is yours.

"That is where I live. I know a place where you can land."

Now, this place has probably has lots of defenses and might start shooting as soon as they see a young dragon flying close to the walls.

>Time to land somewhere else and transform (M/F)
>Land at the gate and announce your intentions.
>Pffft, I can dodge their arrows and rocks.
>Write in.

>>945535

As you begin to make you descent you see the guards rushing around to prepare for an attack. The peasant bellow begin to scatter and scream. Even Ferah whimpers as you make your approach.

"I wish to speak to your leader. I have his daughter and I wish to aid him in crushing his rebellion."

The guards look back and forth at each other as what seems to be the captain sends a man back to the palace on horse back.

"I... I am..."

The captain is trying to find the words to say.

>I am (NAME) and I will wait until I hear an answer from your leader. I care not for lesser beings.
>Ignore him and let Ferah off.
>Write in

>>945589
>Ignore him and let ferah off

>>945589
>Ignore him and let Ferah off

>>945589
>I am X'thugo and I will wait until I hear an answer from your leader. I care not for lesser beings.

>>945589
>Ignore him and let Ferah off.

>>945597
>>945603
>>945621
You lower your back to allow Ferah to hop off. She walks up to the gates and straightens herself.

"I am Ferah Al'Menans, Daughter of Sultan Nesar! I have brought a valuable ally to our kingdom, I expect that this dragon is to be treated with kindness and respect!"

The guards immediately upon hearing Ferah's name bows to her. This Ferah holds herself as a proud woman, worthy of her title. However, you can still see her trembling simply from your presence.

"If... If required, I will escort you to the palace with milady as well."

>You can catch up then. (Fly off towards the palace.)
>Fine. (Follow the guard)
>Write in

>>945654
>Fine. (Follow the guard)

>>945654
>Fine. (Follow the guard)

>>945654
>Fine. (Follow the guard)

>>945660
>>945662
>>945668
You hope over the gate house in front of you and wait until the captain and Ferah enter the city. It's a little cramped in these streets, but nothing you can't handle. The commoners inside the city back up from you and watch as you turn to see Ferah and a group of guards come towards you. The captain nods his head towards you as he begins to walk ahead of you.

"Dragon?"

Ferah taps your hind leg as you walk.

"Your form... It's scaring the people. Can you... transform? I know dragons can do that, but I understand if you don't change."

>It's best for the people to know that I am here. If the people fear me as your ally, then whatever thought of dissent that crosses their minds will die at the sight of my form.
>Fine, I'll take on my human form. (M/F)
>Ignore the request and growl to scare off the faint of heart.
>Write in.

>>945693

>Ignore the request and growl to scare off the faint of heart.
We'd be far to vulnerable to a possible attack should wee take the form of a human.

>>945717
What can of dragon are we if our human form is weak?

>>945693
>Fine, I'll take on my human form. (M/F)
M

>>945764
I doubt we'd retain our durability as a human with a massively reduced mass and weight, no scales, and some dickhead could headshot us with a crossbow or stab us through the heart by surprise.

>>945764
>>945790
Maybe we should ask OP before assuming either way.

>>945699
>>945703
>>945777
"Fine." You say as you utter out a word in draconic. Your form begins to catch on firm as you begin to shrink. After a while, you appear in your human form. Though you have changed, your form is still alien to this people. Never have they seen white skin or golden eyes such as yours. Never have they seen such elegant robes outside of the highest courts. To them, you are still as frightful and alien as before. But, at least they don't have to worry about you eating them.

"Oh." Ferah gasps as you look back at her. You can see her blushing as she walks ahead of you. As she should, you're the most perfect being here.
----
You reach the palace gates and you can barely hold yourself as you touch the solid gold casing on the walls. This is beautiful, this palace must be yours.

"Dragon, father says that we must meet him in the dining hall. It seems that a feast is being held in your name."

Suddenly, a woman appears from the gates. Her armor is sleek and shows off her figure. She walks over to Ferah and embraces her.

"My dear sister... I am so glad you are alive. I thought I'd never see you again."

Ferah smiles as she closes her eyes.

"Linia, I missed you."

The woman looks over at you and looks you over.

"And you are?"

>Better than you.
>An ally and future husband of Ferah.
>I am (NAME).
>Ignore her and keep admiring the gold.
>Write in.

>>945843
>Ignore her and keep admiring the gold.
By the way, what color are our scales?

>>945843
>I am Umbaroth

>>945843
>Ignore her and keep admiring the gold.

>>945843
>I am the man who can save you're kingdom

>>945880
This
We'll have to give out a name eventually

>>945843
>I am Jim

>>945897
>>945880
"Umbaroth? Such a strange name for man such as yourself."

Linia walks over to you and begins to look you over.

"Are you expecting a reward of some kind?"

You look at her and chuckle. If they're taller than someone, mortals think they have the upper hand. How wrong she is. Before Linia can say anything else, another man beckons towards Ferah and Linia.

"You are to bring the exalted guest into the palace unharmed. Please, my lord, come this way. The Sultan is awaiting your arrival."
---
You sit at the far end of the table as dancers and servants await your every need. The sultan is a large man, his cheeks only being hidden by his large beard. You never understood the reason why mortals grew such things.

"So, if you rid these rebels from our lands, you will marry my daughter?"

The sultan nods as he look at Ferah with sad eyes. He was hoping that he could keep this marriage within the royal courts, but you want her.

"Is there anything else you may want?"

>Write in.
>That is all I require.

>>945991

I'll take your other daughter as well.

>>945991
>That is all I require.

>>945991
>That is all I require.

>>945991
>That is all I require

>>946030
>>946034
>>946037
The sultan seems surprised by this.

"Then may this war end swiftly. I will give you whatever you require to destroy these rebels. And, in return for you assistance, you will marry my daughter Ferah."

Ferah nods and smiles at you. Linia, on the other hand scoffs and leaves the room. The sultan winces as she leaves.

"Forgive my other daughter. She is young and I think despises asking for help from an outsider, especially since our kingdoms have had bad experiences with the crusaders from the north."

The sultan stands and claps his hands.

"But, for now, we must discuss battleplans."

You hear armored footsteps come from behind you and you see armored men with ornate helmets join you at the table. The servants clear the table and place a large map on top.

"Lord Umbaroth, these are my most trusted generals and advisors. Gentlemen, I present Lord Umbaroth, the dragon who saved my darling Ferah."

>Where is the bulk of their forces?
>A pleasure.
>Examine the map without a word.
>write in.

"Kereno, their most recent siege."

A tanned man responds without skipping a beat. The other generals quietly voice their issues with you ignoring them and not even acknowledging them.

"Nekzar, good to see that you still forget your court manners." A slender man says with a sneer.

"This Umbaroth fellow cares not about pleasantries and I do not either. We are in a war, so every minute we spend discussing foolish things like manners is every minute Kreza and Morzeer spend finding more ways to embarrass us in battle. Or has the comfort of your castle softened your mind, as well as your body, Hezta?"

Before the other man can respond, the sultan raises his hand.

"Please, continue your report, Nekzar."

"My lord, as you can see, the rebels have been able to push along these smaller towns because they know we will not abandon our larger cities. Your 'generals' simply want to defend their keeps rather than fight a war. However, the rebels are not expecting anything larger than our war tigers. So, if Umbaroth can spearhead an assault deep into their lines, we should be able to break them easily."

>So be it. I'll be your vanguard.
>I'd rather not be in the forefront of fighting, just in case you betray me as you mortals usually do.
>Write in.

>>946218

"Before I make any decisions, I must know what my allies have for their forces. Do not lie, or hold back any information. You are being offered a choice of the slaughter of you enemies or the ruin of your bloodlines."
Then look over the map to see how the land is.

>>946277
I'll switch to this.

>>946277
>>946285
"We have over 1,000 Sanshira warriors that are camped outside the walls, however our numbers are growing slowly as more flock to defend their homes from the rebels. However, the rebels are being reinforced by 200 Gregon Crusaders as well as Lord Saltreg's personal guard."

As you listen you see one peculiar spot of high ground. It seems to overlook much of the city and could prove key to capturing the city. However, before you can speak, one of the generals violently shakes his head as you begin to point at that spot.

"No, it is forbidden to place troops in that area. The Desert Coven would curse our bloodlines if we ever set foot on that ground."

Witches and their covens, a nuisance.

>Like I care, put troops there, I'll deal with them if need be.

"It will be done then."

Some of the generals look at each other with angry faces. Nekzar, however, bows his head to the Sultan and leaves. Ferah whispers in her father's ear and he nods.

"If that is all, I'd like to spend time with my daughter's future husband. Leave us, if you would be so kind."

The generals and advisors bow towards the sultan and leave the room, not one glancing in your direction.

Not a good sign. But, why should you care?

"Now, please tell me, Lord Umbaroth, what land to you hail from?"

>I come from the deserts in the deep south. Desolate, the temples at least have many tribals that paid tribute to my mother's brood.
>I come from the Gregon Forests. I've dealt with all sorts of threats to my mother's brood and brought home much gold
>I come from the Imperial Lands, the dragons there becoming to complacent with simply finding inner peace and becoming a more perfect being.
>I come from Zedrok Mountains. I grew bored of their complacency and left the comfort of my mother's brood to strike it on my own.
>Do not concern yourself with where I come from.

>>946468
>I come from the Gregon Forests. I've dealt with all sorts of threats to my mother's brood and brought home much gold

>>946468
>I'm from zedrok mountain. I grew bored of their complacence and left my mothers brood to struck it on my own

Everyone their was fucking lazy or irrational

Half my brothers are probably dead by now

>>946468
>I come from Zedrok Mountains. I grew bored of their complacency and left the comfort of my mother's brood to strike it on my own.

All of them were just disappointments

>>946468
>I come from the Gregon Forests. I've dealt with all sorts of threats to my mother's brood and brought home much gold

"Ah, so you have experience with dealing with the crusaders! This is wonderful news!"

The Sultan stands up and smiles as he extends his arms.

"With you, my future son-in-law, our kingdom will be safe. My family's future will be safe. My daughters will be safe."

Ferah smiles as she stands up as well.

"Will you be leaving now or will you be staying the night."

>No, I'll be leaving for the front now.
>I'll stay the night.

>>946576
>I'll stay the night.

>>946576
>>I'll stay the nigh

>>946576
Let's head out now, meet the soldiers that are in charge of supporting us.

>>946576
>I'll stay the night.

>>946582
>>946605
>>946669
"Very well then, may you sleep well, my son. For tomorrow, much killing will be done and my kingdom shall soon be freed of these rebels forever!"

He begins to laugh and walk out of the room. Ferah smiles at you and walks out as well.

"Thank you, Umbaroth, you've turned my expectations of your people on its head. I wish all dragons were just like you."

You smile as she walks out. However, you weren't thinking of her kind words. Instead, you were thinking of the golden palace and how easily it would be for you to simply eradicate these mortals and take this place for yourself.

>Maybe I should.
>No, I'll wait until the time is right. My plans are starting to be put into motion.

>>946712
>No, I'll wait until the time is right. My plans are starting to be put into motion.

>>946712
>No, I'll wait until the time is right. My plans are starting to be put into motion.
A little to go all bloody murder.

>>946712
>No,I'll wait until the time is right. My plans are starting to be put into motion

Step 1: get kingdom
Step 2: conquer the desert
Step 3: go see if mom is proud of us now

>>946712
>No, I'll wait until the time is right. My plans are starting to be put into motion.
Why spend my time taking just this one if I can make these lesser beings fight and kill each other first?

Anyways, it would be better for me if I reveal as little information about myself as possible.

>>946737
>>946746
>>946753
You thin to yourself that the time is not right yet. At least you get to pretend that all this gold is your now. It will be, sooner or later, so might as well get used to it.
---
During the night, you hear a loud thump as some muffled yelling is followed by the gurgling of blood outside your door. Goody, assassins coming to kill you. You look over at the door as it slowly opens. A masked woman sneaks in and slowly approaches your bed. Two more sneak in and unsheath a pair of glowing dagger.

>Not messing around, I see. Time to transform and kill them all. The mortals must know the consequences of angering me.
>A few spells will deal with them. I'll kill them all to remind the rest that I am not to be trifled with.
>This could be a good way to increase my power. A few illusion spells should do the trick to put them under my spell.
>Harden my skin and pretend to sleep.

>>946802
Forgot the write in option

>>946802
>>Harden my skin and pretend to sleep.
No sell.

>>946802
We have any paralysis spells?
If so I vote to use it then say
>Hello mongrel.

>>946802
>Harden skin
>illusion spells

>>946802
>Harden my skin and pretend to sleep.

>>946802
>Harden my skin and pretend to sleep.
Hello ladies, nice night is it not?

>>946802
>This could be a good way to increase my power. A few illusion spells should do the trick to put them under my spell.
Women with magic daggers are always nice to have around.

>>946827
I'll switch to this if only so we don't let ourselves get stabbed.
I don't trust magic shit.

>>946811
>>946821
>>946824
You harden your skin and snug closer to your pillow, trying to keep your laughter to yourself. Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain where you hardened your skin. You jump out of bed and see the woman with glowing daggers jumping across your bed straight at you, her two friends ensuring you have no way to escape through conventional means.

>Time to cause some chaos. turn into a dragon.
>Kill them with fire spells.
>Illusionary spells to put them under my spell.
>Write in.

>>946843
>Illusionary spells to put them under my spell.
Make them see each other as us. Might kill each other.

>>946843
>Illusionary spells to put them under my spell.
Lel mortals.

>>946843

Gripping at your wound, you say the magic words in draconic as you visualize your targets. In an instant, two of the assassins pause for a second as they begin to imagine themselves in a scenario in their past life. One looks at her hands and tries to wipe them off, panicking as she fell to her knees. The other one stood at attention and saluted, trembling before letting out a sob. The other assassin however, gripped her glowing daggers tightly to her and tried to fight off the illusions.

"The Goddess... Protects me... I will... Not... Fail..." The assassin struggles to say. Her voice is familiar however, you've heard it once before. You walk over to the assassin and tear off her mask to see good old Linia struggling to keep her wits about her.

"My father... Is a fool to believe... Your lies... He forgets our past... How dragons ruined this land for our people..." Linia tries to take a swipe at you, but recoils. He eyes begin to lose focus as she tries desperately to hold onto her mind.

>Why? You know of what I am, so why attempt this? *Amp up the illusion spell*
>Well, your father will be very said to hear you tried to kill your future brother-in-law. *lightning spell*
>You'll serve a good little pawn. *Enthralling spell*
>Write in

>>946933
>Why? You know of what I am, so why attempt this? *Amp up the illusion spell*
Wipe her memories clean and replace them with good ones.

>>946933
>Well, your father will be very said to hear you tried to kill your future brother-in-law. *lightning spell*

>>946933
>Why? You know of what I am, so why attempt this? *Amp up the illusion spell*

>>946933
>>You'll serve a good little pawn. *Enthralling spell*

>>946940
>>946943
You watch as she trembles on the bed, gripping her shoulders and trying to hold back tears.

"Ferah, come back to me... No, I mustn't give in... I am Linia of the Holy Order of Kail, I will not fall to this illusion..."

Linia keeps trying to say the same thing over and over again until she finally slipped.

"You... Are a danger... Everyone must know that dragons... Cannot be trusted... The Days of Fire will return... If we do..."

Linia begins to cry out for Fareh and another woman, Senra.

"Not you too, Senra! Not both my sisters!"

>And you'd kill a dragon to show everyone that they cannot be trusted? You'd think I'd turn into my true form and rampage?
>Well, I've gotten what I needed from you. Goodbye, I'll explain why you tried to kill me to your father in the morning. *Lightning spell*
>Well, your order has just handed me three servants to aid me in my ambitions. This is the price you paid for betraying my trust.
>Leave me and know that I could have killed your little party if given the chance. *Release the spell*

>>947012
>Well, your order has just handed me three servants to aid me in my ambitions. This is the price you paid for betraying my trust.

>>947012
>And you'd kill a dragon to show everyone that they cannot be trusted? You'd think I'd turn into my true form and rampage?
Let's not kill her, but also not release the spell. Let's instead present her to her daddy in the morning.

>>947012
>Leave me and know that I could have killed your little party if given the chance. *Release the spell*

>>947012
>And you'd kill a dragon to show everyone that they cannot be trusted? You'd think I'd turn into my true form and rampage?
>Leave me and know that I could have killed your little party if given the chance. *Release the spell*
>>947024
And maybe demand recompense.
We're an okay dragon who did nothing wrong and a mongrel tried to kill us.

>>947036
>And maybe demand recompense.
Nah. Good will is a better prize for now. Remember that we live way longer than humans, we can just wait until the old guy dies and get the whole kingdom then, but in order to pull it off we should be friendly with them at first.

>>947012
>>Well, your order has just handed me three servants to aid me in my ambitions. This is the price you paid for betraying my trust.

>>947012
>And you'd kill a dragon to show everyone that they cannot be trusted? You'd think I'd turn into my true form and rampage?

>evil bbeg
>mercy

jesus you guys are worse when doing a bbeg runs

we should kill her and his subordinates then put them on the eentrance and say that the enemy killed them blah blah to taunt us in battle blah blah blah

we should scheme evil plans not doing mercy you lawfags

>>947050
>The greatest evils are easily ignored when done by a saint or hero
Long term strats bro

>>947050
I'm fine with being affably evil.
It's been done before and all I care for is taking over the world with military force.

>>947049

>>947024
"Y... Yes... Everyone would know... That dragons are vicious animals... Cannot trust... Ferah, come play with sister... I love daddy..."

Lania's eyes are becoming unfocused. She's starting to fall deeper into the illusion. At this point she and her compatriots will do anything asked of them. They could prove as valuable allies, sneaking around and helping you create a power base within the city. On the other hand, they did try to kill you. And, if this was a suicide mission, might as well make them do just that. The window in your room has a long enough fall that it would kill them.

Lania is beginning to pray to her goddess while the other two have left the room, so to speak. You don't even know if their minds are even still there anymore. Unfortunately, the feeble minded are usually the first to succumb to this sort of spell. Lania, on the other hand, has held out for quite a long while. While she is a member of this Holy Order, she is also the daughter of the Sultan and you're not sure how'd he react to her attempt to assassinate you or her untimely demise.

>Let her go, the other two are mine for insurance.
>Let her go and her friends as well. Never forget my mercy.
>The window leads to a refreshing pool. Dive into the pool.
>You are mine, now and forever.

>>947094
>Let her go and her friends as well. Never forget my mercy.
Nothing makes you look powerful like a lack of fucks given.

>>947094
>Let her go, the other two are mine for insurance.

>>947094
>Let her go and her friends as well. Never forget my mercy.
Lel mortals. Thinking they're threats to our plans for world domination.


And is there a limit on how many people we can enthrall?

>>947098
>>947104
You hear gasps of shock as the women look around to see you pushing their leader off your bed and crawling into bed.

"Leave me, I'll decide whether or not to tell your father of this in the morning."

Lania simply stands there and slowly walks out.

"Oh, and take the poor man's corpse. Don't want to make up an excuse for him."

Lania simply watched you as she slowly motioned for her two allies to dispose of the body.

"And Lania?"

Lania stops at the door and looks at you, her face showing calm but her eyes showing fear.

"Don't forget what I did today. I could have easily caused you to become a lowly harlot in a matter of second if I wanted to. Remember my mercy."

"I... I will..."

And with that, Lania leaves your room.

Damn, this is a good bed.
---
In the morning, you awaken to a servant girl bringing you a pitcher of water and a silk cloth.

"The Sultan awaits you in his royal stables. He wishes to see you off before you leave."

The servant girl stands there after placing the pitcher down on the desk next to you bed. She stares at you with wonderment and awe.

>Anything else?
>You're dismissed.
>Ignore her and wash yourself.

>>947180
>Ignore her and wash yourself.

>>947180
>Ignore her and wash yourself.

>>947180
>Ignore her and wash yourself.

>>947180
>ignore her and wash yourself
>strip in front of her (reveal our wonderful ass)
>bath

>>947184
>>947186
>>947193
You stand up and look down at your side. No blood, but the wound is healed up. You grab the pitcher and pour the water into a bowl on the desk and begin to undress. You can feel the servant girl inching closer to you as you begin to wash yourself. She whispers something under her breath as she reaches for you waist, towel in hand.

"I... I am here to... Serve the future lord."

You pause as she keeps coming closer.

>If you value your life, you'll leave soon.
>I don't need help to bath, thank you.
>Ignore her and continue.

>>947214
>I don't need help to bath, thank you.

>>947214
>I don't need help to bath, thank you.
Put some petals in the water.

>>947214
>>Ignore her and continue.
Always good to encourage a servile spirit.

>>947214
>I don't need help to bath, thank you.

>>947214
>I don't need help to bath
What is this "thank you" they seem to speak of?

"I want you... Please accept me."

You push the woman away and climb into the water. You can feel your anger rising as she keeps coming closer to you. Before you can look back to yell at her, your heartbeat quickens. Behind the servant girl stands a mature woman, pale in complexion, her eyes a glowing gold. Her robes as blue as your scales and her hair as white as silver. She smirks as she kneels beside your bath and turns your head towards the front. You can hear the servant girl walk away, repeat the previous phrase until she leaves the room. The woman washes your back with such care that it reminds you of home. She sighs a nostalgic sigh.

"I remember when we would travel from town to town. I would always wash your back before we left the inns. You'd always complain about the bath being too cold or the inn keeper suspecting that we were dragons. You were such a clever boy, such a strong boy as well. I remember when we were surrounded on all sides by that blasted crusaders and you would just laugh and laugh as you tore their warmachines apart before diving head first into the ranks. I always worried that they'd be the death of you."

>And I always brought their golden cross back to you in hopes of seeing you smile.
>The past is the past, Mother. No use in bringing up to bring me home.
>What do you want.

>>947291
>And I always brought their golden cross back to you in hopes of seeing you smile.

>>947291
>The past is the past, Mother.

>>947291
>And I always brought their golden cross back to you in hopes of seeing you smile.
Oh it's not a mongrel.
It's a dragon

>>947291
>>And I always brought their golden cross back to you in hopes of seeing you smile.

>>947291
>And I always brought their golden cross back to you in hopes of seeing you smile.
I remember that you were always the smartest among us, the strategist, the undisputed leader and queen. I decided to finally try my hand at it like you recommended.

>>947299
>>947312
>>947323
"Ah, the crosses. Your sister would always put them in a small pile in the empty spot in the castle."

Mother grew silent and put her arms around you.

"If only your father could see you now. You are the pride of our brood. You do our family proud, my son."

You grab your mother's hand and hold onto it. It's silent for a few moments before you hear Mother giggle. She lays her head upon your back and you can feel her smile.

"I won't ask you to return, my son. This path is yours to travel with or without your brood. Just know that you will face death should you fight in Kereno. You know of the crusaders and their affinity to slay our kind. I only ask that you allow us to travel with you, at least until you cement your power here. Whatever your decision, know that your mark in history will be a great one. A mark that will cause all mortals to fear the name of dragons."

>I will accept your aid. For the sake of our brood, we will become the ruler of all mortals.
>This path I must travel alone. I will never forget you, but I must ask that I do this myself.

>>947350
>I will accept your aid. For the sake of our brood, we will become the ruler of all mortals.
So dragon supremacy.
Sounds legit

>>947350
>I will accept your aid. For the sake of our brood, we will become the ruler of all mortals.

>>947350
>I will accept your aid. For the sake of our brood, we will become the ruler of all mortals.
But I ask that you restrain yourselves until I ask.

>>947350
>This path I must travel alone. I will never forget you, but I must ask that I do this myself.
Dragons might be prideful but I'm am not so much so that it blinds me. This horde is mine, and mine alone.

>>947377
>>947405
>>947423
"It will be like old times, Umbaroth. Your brothers and sisters are watching from afar. They will come to your aid whenever you require. But, I will stay by your side until your reign is absolute."

Mother stands up and dones her hood.

"However, should the mortals find that you are not the only dragon within their territory, they will begin to plot against us. I will keep close, but out of sight until needed."

She walks to the doorway, stopping only to look back on you. You can feel her smile as she vanishes into the hallway. You can't help but look up into the blue sky and smile. Your plans will soon come to fruition and all you need to do is take some silly city.
