The demons at rainbow br.., p.4
Dragon Conjurer 5, page 4
Still, my mind settled quietly as my dragons’ energies seemed to settle down from the time outside of my body, and I was relieved their physical exercise meant my own restlessness eased up, too.
As weird as the concept was to me.
I relaxed and enjoyed the sight of my teammates as they explored the depths of their abilities and worked to strengthen their powers, and as the sun began to touch the horizon, my team wrapped up their training and gathered around me again.
Even Beyblade and Ky appeared at the edge of the tree line and started to make their way back over to us. Their large, scaly bodies were much more relaxed than before, and I could have sworn I saw Beyblade smile at me.
“I think I am getting faster at shifting,” Elisabeth said as her long red braid appeared again in place of the white-and-black striped fur that had been all over her body a moment before.
“Definitely,” Steffi said with a smile. “I was watching you a little, and your transformations are getting faster and smoother.”
“It’s getting a little easier for me to form more complex shapes,” Nala declared with pride as she pointed over at her earthen sculpture. In addition to the sphere-topped pillars she’d created earlier there were upside down pyramids stacked nearly as tall as Ky.
I squinted at the creation and noticed that the pyramids had geometric patterns carved into their sides.
“The designs aren’t particularly useful.” Nala blushed as she saw me eyeing her work.
“Maybe not,” I agreed. “But the precision sure will be. Those look amazing. I’ve never seen you work with such precise detail before.”
“Thanks.” Nala’s dark curls bounced around her beautiful face as she smiled from my praise.
“I think I can up the density of my energy attacks,” Steffi said with a thoughtful look on her face.
“I saw that,” I assured her. “That smaller ball of fairy dust looked almost heavy. I couldn’t even see through it.”
“Yeah, it takes a lot of focus to create something like that,” the pink-haired girl explained. “But I think if I keep working on it, I’ll be able to make really dense energy beams that will be even stronger.”
“That’s awesome.” I smiled.
“I think I’m onto something with my little green friends” Nick said a little smugly as he suddenly popped out of a hedge nearby.
“Something useful?” Nala smirked.
“Yes, pipsqueak.” The blond guy smirked back. “Something incredibly useful.”
“How specific.” Steffi smiled and rolled her eyes.
“I have a theory,” Nick continued. “I think I can communicate with the plants instead of just moving through them.”
“That is very useful,” Elisabeth murmured, and she tapped a finger against her lips.
“Gonna tell them all your innermost thoughts?” Nala teased.
“No, I don’t want to intimidate them,” Nick chuckled. “But they’re gonna tell me theirs.”
“Wait, are you saying you’re getting information out of the plants?” I asked.
“Sort of.” Nick screwed up his face and tried to explain. “It’s probably kind of like what you do with the earth, Nala. I realized I can feel the essence of the plants and their roots, so if I focus, I can feel how the plants twine together with each other. It’s sort of like a web of information.”
“Okay.” Nala nodded. “That is pretty impressive. Well done, Nick.”
“Thanks.” Nick smiled. “I think with more practice, I’ll be able to strengthen this more. It’s still really difficult to focus, kind of like when I’d put on my dad’s glasses when I was a kid. His eyesight is really bad, and everything would be super blurry.”
“That sounds similar to what happened to me!” the dark-haired beauty gasped.
“That’s good,” Nick decided. “Maybe I’ll advance a bit quicker now that I’ve hit this juncture with my powers.”
“I bet with more practice you’ll perfect it,” Steffi said.
The rest of my team continued to discuss their individual training, but a strange noise captured my focus and pulled my attention away from their friendly conversation.
I tilted my head to the side and tried to figure out where the small sound was coming from. It was a chittering, gnashing sound, mixed with the crunch of cracking nuts, but it was incredibly pronounced.
I stepped quietly away from my team as they continued to tease and banter with one another, and I looked around the open, rolling hills of the grounds.
Ky and Thor were nudging each other in a lazy play-fight while Beyblade had charred a large circle of grass and was lounging happily in the heated ground like a cat in an afternoon sunspot. I looked for Goldie next and found her just inside the tree line, and the white-and-gold dragon crawled low against the ground and crept forward without a sound.
None of them seemed to be doing anything that would create such a distinct sound, and I closed my eyes and focused more intently on the gnashing sound of tiny teeth that hummed low in my ears.
Within a few seconds, I picked up a steady and fast beating rhythm alongside it. The beating and chewing sounds became slightly louder the longer I listened, and somehow, I felt like they were straight in front of me.
I opened my eyes again and saw nothing I could pin this odd mixture of sounds on. For a moment, I thought I was losing my damn mind, but then I caught a quick movement out of the corner of my eye.
Goldie had suddenly hunched back on her haunches, and every one of her muscles tensed. Then she sprung forward with a short pounce, and both her front paws opened like clawed hands as she launched herself through the air to land on her unsuspecting prey.
At the same time, the beating and gnashing sounds were suddenly cut off, and I watched Goldie sink her teeth into her prey.
“Holy shit,” I breathed.
Realization struck me like a knock to the head.
I wasn’t losing my damn mind.
I was hearing the world through one of my dragon’s ears.
Chapter 3
“Dyl?” Steffi asked. “Dylan? Are you okay?”
“Huh?” I shook my head to clear away the hazy fog of shock at this new realization. “What?”
“I said, are you okay?” Steffi laid a hand gently on my arm and looked at me with concern in her golden eyes.
“You look like somebody hit you in the balls, dude,” Nick said.
“I-- I’m okay.” I shook my head again and swallowed hard as the auditory connection with Goldie faded into the back of my mind. “I just… something new… happened.”
“Something with your dragons?” Steffi asked, and her frown of concern turned into an expectant smile.
“Well,” Nala prompted. “What is it?”
“I heard Goldie hunting,” I said and turned to look back to where I knew my pearlescent dragon was enjoying the last bite of her snack.
“Yeah, and?” Nick asked with confusion and a little impatience.
“What’s new about her hunting?” Nala lifted one dark eyebrow at me.
“They have hunted before,” Elisabeth said. “What was different about it now?”
“No.” I glanced at my gold-and-white dragon as she emerged from the tree line, and her long tongue flicked out of her mouth with satisfaction. “I heard it through her ears.”
“What?” Steffi gasped, and a huge smile spread across her beautiful face.
“That is incredible, Dylan!” Elisabeth clasped her hands together with joy.
“That’s totally cool!” Nick exclaimed.
“What was it like?” Nala asked, and her voice was tinged with awe.
“It was so fucking weird,” I said and glanced around at each of my teammates before my eyes wandered back to Goldie.
The beautiful wind dragon had curled up beside Beyblade in his circle of charred earth and laid her head comfortably on her front feet. She stared unblinking at me, and somehow, I knew she had felt me listening in on her hunt. Her expression was so knowing and pleased, and her pride and pleasure at our new connection seeped into my mind like a warm cup of coffee and soothed my shocked nerves.
“Can you hear through any of the others’ ears?” Nala asked.
“No,” I said and turned back to my team. “I discovered a connection with Ky earlier while you guys were all training. I can sense where he is, almost like there’s this long, invisible string between us.”
“Goodness,” Elizabeth murmured. “That will be very beneficial.”
“Yeah,” I said. “I tried to connect with the Beyblade, Goldie, and Thor, but it didn’t work, and then I started to hear these weird chewing noises, and I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from at first.”
“And it was whatever Goldie was hunting?” Steffi asked.
“Mmhm.” I nodded. “I think it was a squirrel or something, it sounded like it was eating an acorn, and then when Goldie pounced on it, I realized I was hearing things through her ears. It was so wild.”
“That’s incredible, Dyl!” Nala squealed with excitement and threw her arms around my waist to squeeze me in a quick, tight hug.
“It’s really awesome, man,” Nick chuckled and raised his hand.
“Thanks,” I laughed and slapped him a high five.
“And I thought it was cool that I was communicating with the flowers,” Nick yawned in a mildly self-deprecating tone.
“It must be getting late,” Nala giggled.
“You know me.” The nymph shrugged. “I start to fade with the sunset. Besides, I need a good snack before bed.”
“There it is,” Steffi laughed. “I was waiting for you to say something about your stomach.”
“It has been a very eventful day.” Elisabeth smiled softly. “We should go inside and get some sleep.”
“That’s right,” Nala agreed. “We have a busy day tomorrow with the arrival of Ronin and Phoenix and the other Japanese cadets.”
“I could use a little R and R.” Steffi smiled coyly at me and laced her arm around Nala’s waist.
“Me, too,” Nala murmured, and she peered at the pink-haired girl from under dark lashes before she glanced up at me. “A little relaxing before a good night’s sleep sounds perfect to me.”
“Sounds good to me,” I breathed, and heat spread forcefully through my body as Nala’s hand slid behind me and deliberately down to squeeze my ass.
“Mmm,” the dark beauty giggled.
“Ky, Beyblade, Goldie, Thor,” I called out to my dragons. “Come on in, guys.”
Ky and Beyblade stood and strode slowly over to me. My ice dragon gave off a short puff of chilled air into the sky, and I knew he was telling me thank you for the extended free time outside.
“Good night, cuties,” Steffi cooed at my ice and fire dragons, and they seemed to smile at her in return.
“Epistrophi,” I said. “Fanhui.”
Ky and Beyblade disappeared in a hazy light and slithered onto my arm and chest to rest.
Goldie and Thor lingered a moment longer at the edge of the tree line before they, too, wandered over to us.
“Komme Tilbake,” I murmured.
Thor slithered onto my back with a rippling jolt of electricity that was more an energizing tingle than the uncomfortable and irritating buzz it had been a few hours before.
I reached up to pat Goldie lovingly on her scaly white hide, and she bent her head down to nudge affectionately against my shoulder.
“Moduro,” I said to the wind dragon, and in a puff of soft white light, she materialized on my upper arm.
“Come on,” Nick sighed through another huge yawn. “I need something to nom on, and then I’m going to pass the eff out for the night.”
“I do believe I shall do the same,” Elisabeth said and stifled her own yawn behind her dainty hand.
“Let’s go.” I smiled and draped my arms around Steffi and Nala’s shoulders as we strode back inside together.
My pink-haired and curly-haired girls slowed their paces slightly so a short distance grew between the three of us and Nick and El.
“I’m not all that tired,” Nala murmured softly and leaned slightly in front of me to gaze at Steffi. “Are you?”
“No,” Steffi hummed. “Not even a little bit.”
“Well, I’m sure we can find something to do,” I said with a smirk as a pool of lava spread through my gut.
“I have an idea,” Nala cooed.
“I think we may have the same idea.” Steffi smiled as a flush of arousal spread over her soft cheeks.
I focused on putting one foot in front of the other and not losing consciousness from all the blood rushing to my dick as we made our way back to the elevator.
“I bet with more practice you could do partial shifts into your own hybrid creatures,” Nick said to Elisabeth, and his eyes were wide with excitement at this new idea. “Like half-lion, half-bear.”
“That could certainly have its uses,” Elisabeth mused as she pressed the button for the sixth floor.
Nick continued to suggest increasingly ridiculous combinations to the French girl as we rode the elevator, and when the doors opened into the dormitory hallways, we strode to the end where our luxurious suite was.
“Do you think you could do, like, the head of an eagle, and the body of an elephant?” Nick laughed at his own absurd question and marched straight for the fridge to pull out a package of deli chicken. The blond nymph proceeded to plop the package on the counter as he pulled handfuls out and shoved them into his mouth with all the elegance of a lumbering caveman. “Mmm.”
“I do believe there could be some logistical issues with arranging two animals of such differing sizes,” Elisabeth giggled and lifted a single thin piece of chicken to her mouth. “Either the eagle head would be far too large, or the elephant would be very small, and neither of those sounds like a pleasant way to be, or particularly useful.”
“Hmm.” Nick nodded and shoved one last handful of BBQ chicken into his mouth. “You’ve got a point. We’ll work on it.”
“Another day,” our French teammate said and tossed her long copper-colored braid over her shoulder. “For now, it is bedtime, enjoy the rest of your evening.”
El smiled knowingly at Steffi and Nala who were still glued to my sides as she turned to go into her room and closed the door behind herself.
“Bed sounds so good,” Nick said through another huge yawn. Then he tossed the chicken haphazardly back into the fridge and smirked at me as he went into his room. “Have fun, you three.”
“We will,” Nala giggled, and her chocolatey eyes stared up into mine with blatant mischief.
I caught sight of Nick’s eyes as they rolled back in his head with humor, and he closed the door between us.
“Come on,” Steffi said coyly as she took hold of my hand and pulled me toward my door.
“I will never get used to how huge your bed is,” Nala chuckled as we walked into my room.
“You didn’t get king-sized beds, too?” I asked after I flicked on the light and closed the door behind us.
“No,” Steffi said. “Queen-sized, which is still pretty great, but this is luxurious, to say the least.”
“I’ll have to come by your room sometime and try out your ‘pretty great’ bed.” I grinned.
“You better,” the pink-haired girl giggled.
“Enough talking,” Nala said, and she lifted her hand and pulled the zipper of my red-striped uniform down to expose the tattoo of my fire dragon where he curled up on my chest.
The dark-haired girl leaned forward to press her hot lips against my skin, and I felt Beyblade wriggle happily under her touch.
Then Steffi stood behind Nala and reached forward to push my uniform off my shoulders and down my arms.
“Mmm, you’re so sexy, Dyl,” the cotton-candy-haired girl hummed as she leaned forward to take my face in her hands.
“And you’re gorgeous,” I murmured.
Steffi growled slightly and slammed her lips on mine as Nala tugged the rest of my uniform down over my hips and shoved it to the ground.
“Mmm,” I moaned into Steffi’s mouth as her tongue danced with mine, and Nala wrapped her sweet lips around the head of my rock-hard cock.
I kicked my uniform away as liquid fire dripped down my spine and pooled low in my gut.
Nala’s dark curls bounced softly against my abdomen as she sucked my length into her mouth until I felt myself hit the back of her throat.
“Leave some for me,” the fairy-girl murmured as her hands wandered down to lace tightly in our teammate’s dark curls. She placed a soft kiss on my lips and coaxed my mouth open to swirl her tongue around mine once more.
“He tastes so good,” Nala cooed as she licked a drop of pre-cum from my tip and then ran her tongue up the underside of my dick.
“Lemme taste,” Steffi purred as she looked up at me from under heavy lashes. Then she knelt seductively before me and placed one delicate hand on my thigh as she leaned forward to caress my shaft with her tongue.
My eyes rolled back in my head, and my knees locked as both my lovers lavished attention on me with their talented mouths. I reached down with both hands and wound my fingers into their hair as the two girls took turns wrapping their lips around my shaft and pulling me as far into their mouths as they could.
“Fuck,” I moaned as the slick heat of their lips and tongues enveloped me and sent ripples of electricity along every one of my nerves.
My hips started to involuntarily thrust forward as Nala shoved her head all the way down on my shaft until her cute nose touched against my abdomen, and she gagged softly on my thickness.
“That’s so hot,” Steffi purred as she reached forward to gently cup my balls in her dainty hand. “You like Nala’s mouth on you like that, Dyl?”
“Shit, Steff,” I gasped with pleasure as my fairy-girl squeezed my balls ever so gently at the same pace Nala sucked my dick into her mouth. “Yeah, it feels sooo gooood.”
“Mmm,” Nala hummed, and the vibration rippled through my cock and up my spine as she slowly pulled me out of her mouth. “You taste so good.”
