Just don’t do anything crazy. Our muscles will be weak and one wrong move could ground us for days or even weeks.
I know, I know. Stop thinking like a doctor and embrace me.
Sid was about to say taking the doctor part out of her was impossible when she reached Gregor’s block of wood. The thought of him spending hours lovingly carving her dragon form and then proudly displaying it eased her nerves. Had he known his gift would help so much?
Her beast grunted. Probably. He’s too clever by half.
Yes, he is, but neither of us would want it any other way.
Turning to face Gregor, Sid shucked off the rest of her clothes and took a few steps back from the wooden block so that she wouldn’t break it. Her male nodded at her and she nodded back. Taking a deep breath, Sid imagined her arms growing into forelimbs, her nose elongating into a snout, and her wings and tail extending from her back.
For a few seconds nothing happened. Then she blanked her mind and let her dragon take charge and her body began to shift.
The combination of pleasure and pain raced through her body as she morphed into her green dragon form. While the change took longer than she remembered it taking as a teenager, Sid finally stood on four limbs and snapped her wings up behind her.
Her beast spoke up. See? We remembered how to shift.
Meeting Gregor’s gaze, Sid saw how proud her mate was of her. His support gave her the confidence to crouch down and jump into the sky.
Sid beat her wings once, but didn’t gain any traction. However, as soon as she allowed her dragon to take charge, their wings beat in a steady rhythm as they ascended into the sky.
She wasn’t more than one hundred feet in the air when her wing muscles began to ache. We need to land again.
Her dragon growled. Not yet. It’s too soon.
If we don’t, then you won’t get the chance to fly again for longer than you like.
After a second, her beast sighed. Fine, but we need to work on building up our strength again.
Agreed.
Gliding back down to the landing area, Sid was careful to avoid any of the statues on the ground. The challenge was small, but a good one. When her legs finally touched the surface, a sense of accomplishment flooded her body. We did it.
Of course. You need to stop doubting us.
Gregor approached them and patted her chest. “Even your dragon is bonny. I’m a lucky dragonman.”
Her dragon preened inside their mind, but Sid ignored her to scoop Gregor up in the talons of one of her forelimbs and brought him to eye level. Gregor didn’t so much as bat an eyelash as he petted her snout. “Take advantage of my form now because once you’re in flying shape again, you and I are going to have a few challenges.” She blew air out of her nostrils and Gregor grinned. “It’s not childish. Besides, we need to practice for when our bairn is older. If he or she flies away, then we need to be able to chase them.”
Leave it to her mate to find a logical explanation for having fun.
Her dragon spoke up. I like him. I think he will be on my side in the future.
Then I’ll just have to get our child on mine. However, for now,
we have a few things to discuss with our male. Is it okay to shift back now?
I like that you asked me. Yes, if we can’t do any more flying, then we may as well. After all, we need to agree to mate Gregor.
I thought you wanted him to work for it?
After his surprise in the landing area, I think he’s earned it.
Sid wanted to smile. Just make sure not to inflate his ego too often, okay?
Her dragon huffed and Sid took that as her beast’s reply.
Placing Gregor back on the ground, Sid motioned for him to stand back. Once he was a safe distance away, she imagined her wings shrinking, her legs shortening, and her snout morphing back into her face. After a few seconds, she once again stood naked in her human form.
