[fw2.name] turns his head to face toward the central dome of the lair, where [fw.name] resides. He lets out a long sigh through his nose; you watch the steam shoot several feet before disappearing into the air. <i>I was hatched a clutch of two,</i> he begins. <i>My bearer Qal joined the Grand Qim six Sky Cycles after my bearer Qim. As is typical for my kind, once our bearers joined the Grand Qim, we had left the nest in search of mates of our own.</i>{first time|
You tell [fw2.name] that [pc.race]s have a somewhat similar euphemism for death: you call it ‘passing away.’ You’re curious, though: when your kind die, you usually do anything from burning the remains to ashes, or burying the body under the ground, or some combination of both. Sometimes, someone might do something different. How do Frostwyrms handle the remains of those that ‘join the Grand Qim?’
Again, you feel [fw2.name] sift through your memories, search for multiple different words and phrases that you had just used. When he’s finished, he recoils slightly, as if you had just slapped him in the nose. <i>This practice of yours is untenable!</i> he balks. <i>There is no equivalent to this heinous exercise among my kind, and for good reason! You truly mean to imply that your kind treat your fallen with such odious methods?!</i>
You suppose it can be seen as barbaric, in a sense, but, on the other hand, your kind reproduce significantly faster than Frostwyrms, and your lifespans aren’t nearly as long (generally). Your kind can’t just let the bodies stay there and pile up – you’d run out of places to put them in a hurry. You understand that it might be a sudden thing for someone like [fw2.name] to realize, but you ask him, as his Qal, to trust that different species have different approaches to different issues.
[fw2.name] takes a moment to collect himself as he stews on your words. Eventually, he lowers his head back to the position it was before. <i>As you say,</i> he relents, although his voice comes out unsteady and unfocused. <i>To answer your question… I am uncertain. The phrase ‘joining the Grand Qim’ is not a colloquialism: it is literal. The call occurs to us each individually, at different times; when one is summoned, they leave the nest and do not return. No one of my kind truly knows what becomes of one when they are summoned.</i>
How eerie – if that’s true, they don’t even leave bodies behind for their offspring to find and figure out what happened.
<i>The alpha was, to date, the most difficult of my encounters,</i> he confirms. <i>And, now that I have a clutch and a nest of my own, my last, with any fortune. The alpha fought with a strength I was unready for; with a ferocity matched only by my own; with a cunning foretelling of a proud and proper Qal like yourself. They had strength enough to pry my jaw apart; they had speed enough to counter my every swipe; they were nimble and endurant enough to retaliate from a thrash of my tail after it had struck true. The alpha among the trio had time and again proven its mettle – I often consider the alternative reality of the two in its entourage joining the encounter, and how blessed I am that such a reality did not befall.</i>
[fw2.name] is really talking up whoever this opponent of his was. If the match was so even and deadlocked, how did he win?
<i>By chance, ultimately,</i> he admits. <i>A beat of my wing caused the cold dust to stir; the billows caught in the alpha’s eyes, and, whilst it was distracted, I lunged for its torso, sinking my jaws into its body and across its upper limb. The taste of its blood flooded my mouth and dripped from my maw, but I had no intention of earning my kill – once the tide of battle had shifted, its entourage sprang to action, and I took my gained opportunity to escape.</i>
{PC has met Edrei, Eitan’s mom. This is very far future-proofing but better do it now|Wait a minute… a Frostwyrm, having fought an ‘alpha’ that stood on two legs and wielded a spear, and the Frostwyrm won by biting into its chest and arm, which would have left long, deep, repeating scars on their body….
That sounds like Edrei, the former alpha of Eitan’s tribe and Eitan’s own mother. [fw2.name] is the Frostwyrm that defeated her and forced her into retirement.
You should… maybe keep this information to yourself. And hope that none of your Frostwyrm mates go poking around in your head about it. You wouldn’t want either [fw2.name] or Edrei to know that you’re friendly with their rival.
<i>After having consummated our mating pact with you and [fw.name], my Qal, I now understand the scent in the air to be that of another of my kind in the throes of their heat. I do not know how or why this smaller creature emitted such a fragrance. At that moment… I am ashamed to say that I lost control of myself. Mating was all I had the faculty to process. And so, I mated this small creature.</i>
With him doing the penetrating, right? It’s impressive to think that there’s someone or something else out there that’s capable of handling an entire Frostwyrm dick.
At first, [fw2.name] doesn’t respond, so taken aback at your casual acceptance of the fact that he’s mated before he met with you. At first, you feel tension through the psionic link as he readies himself for what he believes to be an emotional fallout, but it turns to relief when he begins to realize that you were earnest in what you said before: that you weren’t going to judge him for it.
<i>The creature continued to babble sounds through the act. I am unsure if it was trying to communicate with me, or to something else. The whole of my mind and body was focused on mating it, and my drive lasted for as long as the scent continued to linger in the air. I had seeded the creature multiple times before the scent – and the sensation – faded, and my senses returned to me.</i>
{Watched the scene of Steph Irson fucking a Frostwyrm|Wait a minute… a creature, standing [pc.isTaur|somewhat ]like yourself; was awfully chatty the entire time; used pheromones to get a creature like [fw2.name] to behave irrationally horny; and is capable of taking a Frostwyrm’s dick, and therefore is likely to have had more than a few other insertions to practice with beforehand….
That sounds like Steph Irson, the famous, uh, conservationist that you see a lot on the viewports. Steph’s show, <i>Steph Irson’s Galactic Huntress</i>, is pretty famous for a handful of reasons – not the least of which is that she has lots of wild, raunchy sex with whatever topic creature she’s on about at the time. You even remember that episode of her having sex with a Frostwyrm. If you had known that this was ‘recent’ and not something she had taped long in advance, you could have tried to meet her and ask her where she found [fw2.name] – you and [fw.name] could have been more proactive in meeting him.
Wait… if you can crossbreed with Frostwyrms, then shouldn’t she be able to, as well?
After a moment of consideration, he responds. <i>Your question was to ask me what it is I ‘liked’ during mating. What is it <b>you</b> like, my Qal?</i>
You pause for a moment – then laugh to yourself. Well, having sex with dragons is pretty up there. Even better when it’s with <b>two</b> dragons[fw.andNykke|. And don’t even get you started if there are <b>three</b> dragons].
