Blaze of darkness

Kuraht1
Every twenty years, they come, winged beasts cloaked in flame and shadow, reducing Hazel’s village to ashes. No one knows why. No one survives long enough to ask. On the year she clocked 20th , Hazel expects to hide like everyone else. But when the sky burns red, and fire rains down, it’s not death that finds her. It’s him. Kaelith. The Black Dragon. The most feared of them all. Ruthless. Immortal. King. He claims her without reason, snatching her from the wreckage and imprisoning her in a fortress carved from obsidian and fire. She is to be his mate. A bearer of his heir. Nothing more. But Hazel is no dragon. No queen. Just a girl with no power, no claws, and no escape. As days turn to nights and hatred gives way to obsession, Kaelith’s icy control begins to crack. In her fear, he finds fascination. In her defiance, he discovers fire. And as his enemies rise and secrets within the mountain unravel, one truth becomes dangerously clear: The dragon never came to destroy the village. He came for her.

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
