Immediately I was flustered a bit but I kept my composure,

"Eman ta consider la fact ziry might sagon pirta confidence," I said sitting up "Yn nyke daor epagon iā male ta sagon ñuha mate, skori nyke ȳdra daor sesīr gīmigon lo kostis mīsagon iā lentor, iā lo kostis sesīr mīsagon pōntāla," I said "Nyke ȳdra daor sesīr glaesagon isse la hive, nyke glaesagon va la mainland. Īlen merely sepār visiting ñuha kepa se getting rid hen la runt trying ta sagon ñuha mate." I said "Nyke daor raqagon living isse iā hive despite ñuha status, se nyke find skoriot nyke glaesagon vok," I said giving him a side eye. "Lo ao sylutan ta sagon ñuha mate eman iā lot iā requirements, yn ao would also emagon ta deal lēda la requirements yno kepa. Iksan la ēlī āzma se la uēpāje belonging ta ñuha kepa. Sīr nyke tepagon ao sȳz biarves lo jaelā ta sylugon se sagon ñuha mate. lo emā la balls ta sesīr jikagon ta la mainland tha iksis," I said with a sweet smile.

I wasn't lying about all the requirements, the mainland is harsh, yet I am untouched. Not a lot of dragons have the guts to go to the mainland, I have a good enough reputation with the humans though, farmers will fish in the lake and they know I pay them no mind.

I was surprised blush didn't spread across her face and instead she doubted me. I couldn't help but frown slightly. Sure, i wasn't actually serious about having her as a mate but i am as confident as they come...most of the time. I then chuckled at her next words. "Sepār epagon literally anyone isse bisa colony Se ao'll ūndegon nyke plenty cable hen protecting anyone jaelan." I answered. I then listened to her before smiling at the end. A challenge, nice. "Ēlī hen mirre, nyke dont care skoriot ao glaesagon. Tȳne, nyke daor zūgagon hen aōha kepa iā hen either hen aōha requirements kesrio syt kostan guarantee ao nyke se sȳrje hen ñuha generation. Atleast kesīr isse se colony. Saelie, nyke mazōregon aōha challenge..." I threw her a smirk. "Lo emā se guts naejot māzigon lēda nyke."

.

Despite my confidence, i seriously didn't want to go to the mainland. The humans there dont particularly like me. No human really does except for one. I was pretty confident though that she wouldn't actually go with me and therefore i would get out of it. "Skoros se heck iksis ziry doing?! Iksis ziry ribazmoqitta?" I heard one of my friends say in a too loud whisper. I chuckled. Yep, i am crazy. But then again, i dont particularly care what others think. I glanced back at them and stuck my tongue out, showing them i knew they were there, that i heard them and was absolutely serious about this. They just stood there, mouth's hanging open as i turned back to Uri for her answer.

I paused for a moment then gave him a look "sesīr lo nyke agreed, skorkydoso gaomagon nyke gīmigon ao won't abandon nyke se future riñar?" I said and then glared at the males watching from the door way I was tempted to blast them. While they were focused on their friend I shot a warning shot that was weak in front of them before snarling. "Nyke could care less nūmāzma la humans, nyke won't jenigon zirȳ se pōnta won't jenigon nyke. kosti sesīr sagon rȳ keskydoso nāvar rȳ rȳ la hēnka moment, mērī sharing iā single glance," I said looking back at him before standing. "Sīr bona would sagon aōha own issue," I said starting to walk off. "Iksan iēdrosa sore due ta la bōsa flight, sīr kessa sagon iā couple hen tubissa ēva nyke return," I paused before I left "Also, hearing someone iksis sȳz rȳ vīlībāzma se seeing someone iksis sȳz rȳ vīlībāzma, issi lanta different ra," I said with a sweet smile before walking off again to try and find a different area.

I just shrugged at Uri's words. "Ao wont gīmigon. Ao would sepār emagon naejot pāsagon nyke." I said, a wistful look on my face. I found myself never wanting to leave this female, even if doing so is basically trapping myself with something i didn't want to do. My father had left me when i was young, leaving my weak mother to care for me and my siblings. Her words made me remember that, and also question if something similar happened to her. I was pulled out of my trance when she fired at my friends. They growled at her but did not make a move to go or attack. Going back to my normal self i smirked at them. "Haha, ao jiōraton shot rȳ." I teased them and in return the rolled their eyes and left. I then turned back to the female as she spoke. "Sȳz syt ao." I replied.

.

I listened to Uri with a sigh. Looks like i actually have to go to the mainland alone. Great. If i wasn't so competitive, i would've just disappeared for a day or two and lied about going. But since i am competitive, i had to win the right way. "Alright, ill jikagon naejot se mainland se va bē hen bona ill emagon ao urnēbagon nyke vīlībagon istin nyke return. Though, ziry'll sagon qopsa naejot jiōragon iā opponent yn ill deal lēda bona tolī." I told her, standing up as she did. "Feel sȳrkta aderī, dārilaros(princess)." I called as she walked away. I then ran off to go find my friends to talk to them. Then i would soon travel to the mainland where i hopefully wouldn't get to badly injured.

I became flustered at his last comment but I guess he wasn't wrong, I technically am a princess and treated like one by my father. Heck, even the alpha treats me like a princess, I guess I am one.
I let out a huff of smoke with a sigh, I was going to go tell my father what happened.
"Kepa," I said and he turned his head to me
"skoros iksis upsetting ao, ñuha dārilaros?" He said
"ziry isn't upsetting, nyke ȳdra daor exactly gīmigon skoros ta gaomagon," I said and he gave me a look. "Iā male approached nyke, iā sȳz jurnegēre mēre. Nyke would sesīr consider zirȳ iā possible mate, yn nyke ȳdra daor exactly gīmigon skoros naejot gaomagon. la male iksis brōstan jesper," I said and he gave me a look.
“Nyke daor decide lu nyke likee jesper orr nyke daor likee jesper. Yn issa definitely iā kostōba male skori faced isse vīlībāzma,” My father said and I just let out a sigh before laying down on my side. A vulnerable position, it was one way to show complete trust as a female dragon. Since our underbellies are just feathers and soft skin, it is easy to make a killing blow. Not only that but a lot of blood flows through there so that the eggs will stay warm. Meaning blood loss would be one of the biggest issues as well.

Once i found my friends, i explained to them that i was just having a little fun and that the mainland wasn't so bad so long as you didn't bother the humans. I also asked them to come with me. They didn't believe me about the mainland, scolded me for leading a female on and refused to come. I just dismissed them, and decided to go to the mainland on my own. I wasn't leading her on...i just want to befriend her. So maybe i was using a dirty tactic to do so but i have a feeling she wouldn't want anything to do with me unless i was a possible suitor. Plus, i wasn't sure how King thought of me but i probably dont have a chance because of him. Im his rival afterall. I wouldn't want my daughter mated to my rival. Then again, sometimes dragons surprise me.

.

Just then i reached an opening in the ice where i could exit. I took off, careful as to not bump my head. I flew high into the sky, about cloud level before i let myself glide. Now i had smooth sailing until the mainland. Hopefully it would be smooth sailing once i reached the mainland too. Despite the slight danger threat, i was pretty excited to once again visit the mainland. I had made a human friend there during my first ever visit and ever since we have been buddies. But since i dont have a great reputation with the other people, i dont get to see her often. She's probably grown so much...

After speaking with my father I just let out a sigh and thought for a bit. I was too tired and exhausted still from my flight so I just traveled to my father's portion of the ice colony. Only then did I lay down and fall asleep, I slept peacefully knowing nothing could touch me here in my father's territory. I yearned for this feeling once again, as I forgot what it felt like to be this safe, without a care in the world. I even got to dream, which was already surprising. I dreamt of having hatchlings of my own, but if I wasn't careful I would just get hatchling fever. When I woke I definitely felt down, mainly because of the fact that I didn't have a mate. I couldn't have hatchlings of my own without a mate.

I tried to snap out of it because if I didn't I would get hatchling fever but it had probably already started. If I put an end to it soon enough it won't be bad and it will be gone in a couple of days.

It took quite a while but soon the mainland was above me. Uri hadn't said exactly where i had to be on the mainland in order to complete this challenge so i landed on a far off beach which close to my human friend's house. Dez lives away from the main villages so that was a good thing for me. Now i just needed to find her. I took a breath of air, searching for her sent. Unfortunately the ocean's smell was too strong for me to pick up anything far away. I sighed and headed for a cave we had discovered together and basically made our hideout. After about half an hour of laying on the cold stone floor, i finally heard footsteps. I perked up, hoping it was Dez and not some other human. I wouldn't be in a good position if it were another human.

.

Luckily it truly was Dez. She gasped and stood there for a second when she saw me before rushing to me. She jumped and threw herself onto my neck and clung on as if for dear life. "Jesper! It's been forever!" She exclaimed before loosening her grip and falling onto the floor. I hummed quietly and nuzzled her. After a second she pushed me away with a frown on her face. "What are you even doing here? If the people see you, they'll try and kill you again! You need to leave." She said firmly but i just shook my head. We would be safe in this cave for a bit and i wanted to spend time with her. She sighed when she realized i wasn't budging before sitting down. I then sat down and pulled her close to me with my wing. I was right, she had gotten bigger since the last time we saw eachother.

.

Another half hour later, Dez finally convinced me to leave. I wasn't happy but i could tell she was really worried about me. As i flew through the darkening sky, i went over my time with Dez. At first we had just snuggled for a bit but we soon got bored and went on a little flight. She talked and i flew, and we both enjoyed it. We almost got caught multiple times but luckily nothing bad happened. Once we got back to the cave she read me a book before insisting that i leave. I sighed. I probably wouldn't get back to the colony until late tonight but that was okay because today had been good. I just hoped Uri would believe i actually came. Still, it's not like i needed her to believe me. It's not like i wanted to be her mate. Atleast, that's what i told myself as i flew back.

I sat up, as it was now night, my sleep schedule was going to be messed up now. I had a slight perfumy scent but it wasn't strong, I just growled in annoyance and didn't leave my father's area. I found myself a cave near the edge of his territory in th colony for me to just rest in. I didn't want to leave but I didn't want to say too close either. I didn't want to be annoyed by males who could smell me, there are a lot of things I wish weren't happening at the moment. Hatchling fever was the main cause, but it would go away soon. I sat as if I was on a nest and just wrapped my head and tail around my. I stared off daydreaming and let out a deep sigh.

I yawned as i finally reached the colony. I didn't realize how much i depended on my friends to make things lively and give me energy on our trips. Atleast now i was home though, and hopefully Uri would be waiting for me. Wait, why would she care? I shook my head as i landed and started towards the alpha's place. It didn't matter if she was waiting for me or not, she was going to see me whether she likes it or not. When i enter my destination i look around in hopes to see Uri's beautiful black and pink scales. To my annoyance she wasn't there. Great, now i have to search the entire colony. Or i thought i would. One of my friend's approached me with a slightly bowed head.

.

"Jurnegēre syt se female?" He asked, looking at me. I nodded and he looked in the direction of King's territory. "Ziry's isse dārys's territory. Nyke would hurry kesrio syt nyke ūndan iā male sneaking around close naejot konīr." I immediately tensed when he spoke of another male. I gritted my teeth before running off without another word. I could hear my friend's footsteps behind me which told me i would have backup even if i didn't need it. It didn't take long for me to find Uri, or rather smell her. I flinched but followed the sent. She was curled up in a cave and obviously unaware of the snake of a dragon that stood infront of that said cave. I quickly lunged at the male before slamming his head into the ice as i let out a snarl.

.

"Lo nyke daor mistaken, ao ūndan nyke lēda zirȳla. Se yet ao dare sylugon mirros? gaomagon emā iā morghon jaelagon?" I snarled into his face. He flinched, squirmed a bit before letting out his own growl. "Kostilus, ao dont own zirȳla. Besdies, mōrī jēda nyke checked aōha sepār iā abandoned misfit." He answered. I about lost it then and my eye twitched in annoyance. I put quite a bit of pressure onto the male's neck with my other foot that wasn't on his head. "Rōva ȳdragon syt iā runt. Speaking hen skore, runts va moriot gaomagon jurnegon sȳz lēda snapped necks." I replied threateningly. The male wasn't an actual runt but he was smaller than me so the name fit in my book.

.

With those words -or was it the pressure i was putting on his neck?- the male lost his composure and closed his eyes. "I- nyke didn't nūmāzma ziry. Nyke vaoreznuni." As he said that i could've sworn i saw tears in his eyes. His voice was strained and i could tell he was struggling to breath. "Tch, weakling." I spat before getting off of him. "Jiōragon hen hen kesīr se dōrī māzigon arlī. Iā eles." I growled so he ran away, practically with his tail between his legs. Now that, that was over, i had a different problem to deal with. Even though Uri's sent wasn't strong, it was distracting the heck out of me. I let out a tense sigh before focusing on Uri. "Gaomilaksir's complete, aōha highness." I said but i couldn't bring myself to give her my famous grin. I did however give her a strained small smile.
