A/N: Hey, we're almost at the end, there are only 5 more chapters left for the story to end!
For those who don't understand what's happening and why the story is ending so quickly, they probably didn't read the auxiliary chapter that clearly explained the reason, but leaving that aside, I really enjoyed posting this story.
In fact, this was my favorite chapter to write and after reading it again now, it's still my favorite chapter, I hope you like it.
--x--
For the next few days, Smaug took Aluna away, Smaug used his full Elf form, hiding his ears, he looked like a more handsome human, to this day he had not yet eaten a human, despite despising these beings, he still could not abandon his past.
He went to Lake Town with her, walked around, shopped, acted like a normal human, just like her.
The pair then left, he transformed into a dragon and wandered around, visited the Ents, passed through Moria and spent some months in the Abyss, passed through Gondor and Rohan, passed through the Shire, they wandered for two years.
Smaug did nothing to her in that time, he desired her, but he was patient, he wasn't too hasty either, in time he ended up feeling at peace, traveling with her, he found himself for the first time since arriving in this world with a humanity he didn't know he had lost.
His previous actions with the elves and with Thorin made him think, even the theft of the Palantir made him think.
Speaking of Palantir, it was still in his inventory, forgotten, but he hadn't used it yet, he had no desire to do so right now.
Aluna observed the changes in Smaug and her heart felt lighter, as did his.
Until one day, while they were bathing together in a lake, something they had been doing for some time, Smaug watched her naked on the water, even the water could not extinguish her fire.
He observed her as a work of art, not sexualized, like seeing a rainbow after rain, like seeing the Northern Lights in an icy desert.
Smaug couldn't hold it in any longer, he went to her, she didn't move away, she watched as he took her in his lap, his head lowered and hers rose, their lips met after years, but it was like an explosion, the lake boiled, literally.
Wings sprouted from his back and he took them into the air, fire coming out of them, still naked, the flames coming out of their mouths, her eyes opened, her eyes turned into fire that ran upwards, the pair didn't care about this strange phenomenon, they descended onto the earth and right there on the ground surrounded by trees, they consummated the feeling they had kept for a long time.
The fire spread, wandering through the trees, but it didn't burn anything, it spread for dozens of meters, like a bed of fire.
He entered her for the first time, she was his first woman to actually bleed, he didn't see it, the blood was consumed by fire before that.
It wasn't gentle as expected, no, it was hot, he grabbed her as if he wanted to merge with her, he really wanted to and he wasn't the only one.
The earth shook from their union, the fire grew fiercer, when he filled her, she turned into pure fire, yet he could still touch her, he continued, she quickly returned to human form, but that was just the first of many.
For three days and three nights, that small piece of forest was in flames, frightening all the beings that passed by.
In the end, a giant dragon flew away, on its back a maiden in an orange dress.
The dragon's eyes returned to savagery, a smile adorned his lips, he wanted to laugh, but it wouldn't do him any good.
"After all, you haven't changed." Aluna hugged his neck and spoke softly, there was magic in her voice, so he could hear her even with the wind.
-No, I don't regret anything I did, but in the end, I like what I did to you too, so Aluna, I've changed, but I haven't gotten smaller, I've gotten bigger. - Smaug spoke in his heavy dragon voice, still smiling.
"Yes?" The woman could feel it, so she didn't care. She truly fell in love with the dragon, so she would accept him, read his beautiful side and his ugly side. "Then I must say, I have changed too. As you took my light, I will take your darkness."
The dragon was silent for a moment, then spoke. "No need, Aluna, I love you just the way you are."
"Is that so? But that's exactly why I'll do it, because your love can accept me, mine can accept you, like the light of Telperion and Laurelin above us, dividing the sky in harmony." Aluna looked up at the sun, opening her arms and receiving the light that came from it.
Smaug didn't speak for a while, he transformed back and hugged Aluna again, tears came out of his eyes as he hugged her, she reminded him of his human side, he understood that now, but he wouldn't leave behind his dragon side, he was a fusion of the two.
But her being willing to love him anyway, he wouldn't admit it, but ever since Tauriel looked away that day, he'd given up on true love, love that comes from mutual acceptance.
Even Helena was something he created, using mental compulsion, it was just that she loved him more than the rest of the kingdom, but he still thought that without his compulsion, she wouldn't love him the same way.
Aluna accepted him, even though she despised evil, she accepted him.
Smaug cried as he hugged her in the air, Aluna said nothing, she hugged him back, feeling his pain and longing, she felt sad, not understanding well, but she knew that her acceptance was more important to him than she imagined.
It weighed heavily on her, as if even after spending decades with the dragon, she was still seeing him for the first time.
Smaug recovered quickly, he looked at Aluna and stroked her hair. - Thank you.
-You... - She wanted to ask, but he shook his head, stopping her from speaking.
-Your acceptance is all I need, my queen. - He smiled at her and kissed her softly.
-Yes, what's my number now? - She rolled her eyes at him, not really caring, after all she had known for a long time that he was a married man, married three times.
-Does it matter to you? - He asked seriously and with concern, he would not abandon his wives for Aluna, nor would he even give up on Aluna, despite everything, even with his fears, he still loved his other wives.
"What if I care?" She asked, teasing him.
He thought about it seriously. - Then I'll make you agree, it doesn't matter, you're already mine, I'll never give you up.
Aluna laughed lightly, amused. "It's okay, silly, I don't mind. I mean, I do mind, but not much. After all, I know you love them, and I already knew what I was getting into."
Smaug looked at her, looking for any sign of a lie, he sighed in relief when he saw that there wasn't.
-In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry. - He said as he put some of his magic inside her, she looked at it, but didn't stop it.
-What is this? - She asked finally.
-Spiritual connection, I can talk to you at any time in the future, including seeing where you are, now I will never lose you. - He nodded in satisfaction.
Aluna rolled her eyes and sighed, testing the pair a bit, they talked mentally and she found it very interesting.
-It's really useful, have you been ruling the kingdom for the past few years like this? - She asked curiously.
-Oh, yes, but it was more Helena asking me to come back faster, she always does that when I'm away for a long time. - He joked.
-She'll be very happy when she sees you. - Aluna smiled.
"Indeed, but happy isn't quite the word I'd use." He gave her a predatory smile, making her roll her eyes.
-Do you want a wedding? - He asked her.
-No, you don't need to. - She shook her head.
"Well, we'll have the feast then," Smaug said calmly. "Besides, I already have your stone ready."
-Stone? - She asked curiously.
"Ah, the one with the crown and rings, I thought of imperial topaz, it matches your eyes and hair." He smiled, taking a stone from his mouth.
She picked it up and looked at it. "Will I be the Topaz Queen now?"
-Would you prefer a different stone? - He joked.
-No, topaz is fine, but the crown, can it be made of white wood? - She asked with a smile.
"If you have Yggdrasil's permission, feel free." He laughed.
-Oh, she'll allow it. - She laughed.
-But won't that hurt her? - He asked, a little worried.
"No, she can get rid of her branches if she wants, it's like cutting her hair," she explained. "It just takes a while."
"All right then." Smaug nodded. "I can't wait to get home."
-Home... me too, I miss the garden. - She sighed.
-You're going to sleep with me now. - He made it clear.
She rolled her eyes at him, but didn't refuse.
The pair chatted lightly as they flew away.
But a roar was still heard on the mountain hours later, this roar shook even the lake city in the distance.
-I'm going to kill you! - Smaug went crazy, running towards Legolas, who looked embarrassed and quickly hid behind Hela.
Hela also had an exasperated and fearful look, well, her father caught them kissing, it was just a few kisses, but it was more than Hela had ever done, you can see that the dragon is really mad now.
But luckily, there was someone who managed to stop him.
"Stop." Aluna stood in front of him. She didn't use force, but he stopped. His face contorted with anger, but the warm hand pulled him to look down, his orange eyes meeting her yellowish vertical pupils. "It's okay."
The fire inside Smaug seemed to burn more slowly until it stopped, even Helena, who had just arrived, looked shocked at this, he would also stop for her, but that... he calmed down completely!
The woman's eyes burned with unbridled jealousy, but she said nothing now, just watched with a cold face.
Tauriel at the side also watched, but she wasn't too shaken, but looking at Helena, she seemed to get a little worried, Helena was always the favorite, of course, that was never said, but they realized and knew the reason, so Helena could be generous with both of them, but looking at it now, it seems that things would soon get complicated.
-Let's go back. - Aluna pulled his arm, Smaug looked at Légolas and smoke came out of his mouth, but Aluna continued to pull him and he was taken away, even so his eyes contained a warning of silent death when his wife was not looking.
Legolas, again hidden behind a woman, began to doubt life at this point.
Hela looked at all this in shock, but in her mind she just considered Aluna her new best aunt! She would do anything to stay on this aunt's good side!
Smiling happily, she quickly pulled Legolas and the pair ran away, going to get the horses and flying to the forest kingdom, it was better to avoid her father for a while.
Smaug, of course, knew, but he was still being held by Luna, his anger rising and falling constantly, but soon he was on two haunches with flames consuming his shaft, literally.
So reluctantly, he let it go.
When Helena and Tauriel arrived, she didn't stop, she continued walking up and down, still looking into his eyes gently.
Smaug looked different there, looking into her eyes and feeling her descending upon him, she was perfect.
The love in that look consumed his anger until nothing was left.
Beside her, Helena was trembling slightly, Tauriel looked worried, Helena turned and left, Tauriel opened her mouth and didn't speak, he saw that Helena was crying, Smaug didn't notice, his eyes still on Aluna.
Tauriel didn't know what to do, in the end she went after Helena, to prevent her from doing something she would regret.
The pair in the bedroom spent hours in slow, gentle sex before Smaug fell asleep with her in his arms.
It was only in the afternoon of the next day that Tauriel woke him up.
-Smaug... - She spoke with difficulty.
-What? - Smaug looked at Tauriel and yawned, pulling her to him, feeling her scent that he hadn't felt in a long time.
Tauriel didn't stop him, but she still spoke. "It's... it's Helena, she's been training the moon elves since you got back yesterday. She's already sent three to the infirmary with serious injuries and several others with minor injuries."
Smaug's eyes opened and he used the spirit connection, he could see her, brandishing a sword, she knocked down a young elf who was struggling with difficulty and sent him to his feet, cuts across the boy's body.
-What happened? - He asked.
"She... she saw you and Aluna," Tauriel explained lightly.
Smaug remained silent, looking to the other side, where Aluna had already woken up.
-Go, she needs you. - Aluna smiled at him.
Smaug looked at her and sighed, kissing both women's foreheads, he flew out of the room, after two years of wearing clothes, walking around naked again had mixed feelings, it was comfortable, but also a little embarrassing.
Anyway, he went to the training grounds, seeing Helena beating up another Elf while a line went away to heal, he sighed, descended on her.
-Get out. - He said to everyone there.
Helena snorted, turned around, and wanted to leave. "You stay." He didn't ask, he ordered.
Helena stopped, her body trembling.
Everyone left quickly and the large doors of the room were closed by the guards.
"Why are you here and not having fun with your new favorite?" She scoffed, after regaining her courage, although still without looking at him.
Smaug looked at Helena, he had never seen her so fragile before, she always looked at everything with a mischievous smile, now...
-You're jealous. - He got straight to the point.
She didn't answer, she turned her body away with light tears falling from her eyes.
Smaug sighed and felt bad inside, it wasn't because Helena was influenced to adore him as a child that made her love lighter now, this woman truly loves him, just like Aluna.
He came closer and hugged her, she pushed him away, but he held her tightly, in the end she was crying loudly as she clung to him. - Don't leave me, please, don't leave me!
Smaug was shocked by this, leave her? Why would he leave her?
-Helena?! What the hell are you talking about?! Why would I leave you?! - Smaug asked shocked.
Helena didn't answer, she continued to mumble as she hugged him tightly.
Smaug became serious, Helena was worse than he imagined, so he responded in the only language he understood.
He pulled her and grabbed her clothes, tearing them off roughly.
Helena was shocked, but soon she was lying on the floor with a rod over her entrance, her eyes became feverish, full of desire, it was at that point that he entered, rough, dry, it hurt, it hurt so much that it bled, but he continued sending vital energy to her and did not stop.
Helana didn't complain, no, she pulled him tighter, wanting him to be rough.
He did it, and again, and again.
-You are mine, I will never leave you, I will never allow you to go, only I can enjoy this dirty body of yours! - His voice fell like music in her ears, she was ecstatic.
-Yes, I'm yours! You dirty woman! Take me! Love me! - She screamed as she slammed into him.
Helena's record was four days, she lasted a week this time.
She smiled even when she was passed out.
Smaug sighed in relief when the woman finally fell, he was really worried this time, Helena was a little crazy and that's why she was more dangerous, she could do anything, like try to hurt Aluna or hurt herself, so he had to handle this carefully.
When he says carefully it was to make her body understand that he would not abandon her.
Helena longed for his pleasure and his approval, it had been like that since she was a child, before he didn't see a problem with it, but now he thought that maybe he had gone too far, but it was too late, her personality was shaped for this from an early age, if he tries to change her now he could erase who she is and worse, drive her truly crazy.
So he could only accept her crazy love, he created her, so he would accept her, just as Aluna accepted him.
In the end he took her back covered in torn clothes and asked them to clean the place.
Of course, nothing in this place stays hidden for long and soon everyone knew what happened, including Helena being fucked for a week before passing out.
In the end, Aluna's banquet was postponed and there was time to make the crown and the royal topaz ring.
When Helena woke up almost two days later, she seemed a little emotional and so he accompanied her for a long time, vehemently promising that he would not abandon her under any circumstances, even if she ran away, he would look for her even in hell.
Helena soon returned to normal, but still didn't get too close to Aluna.
Aluna was kind and didn't mind, but tried to ease the relationship between them.
It was because of her kindness and emitting a constant energy of holiness and goodness that Helena ultimately had to sigh and accept the woman.
Within a few days, the two were already friends, Smaug also avoided favoring either of them after that, this event really made him worried.
After that, he also looked at Tauriel and thought about how he favored Helena in the past, so while Aluna and Helena spent more time together, he spent time with Tauriel, asking about what she did, making love to her, training her, making love to her, feeding her, making love to her...
Everything was very gentle and Tauriel seemed a little unaccustomed at first, but in the end she couldn't hide the smile on her face, Smaug also wanted to spend time with Hera, but she was still traveling.
He'd glance at her and Berkas every now and then, but he usually didn't focus on it much.
Looking at them now, he saw that they had found who they were looking for.
