“Oh I am well aware of your desires.” Nyer said with a devious smile “they are not to different then my own but I want to play a little game and see if you earn your reward. Nyer proceeded to stand up and brace himself against the table, he slowly slipped out of his shirt allowing his hands to caress over his own form working towards his lower half in a sensual manner. “I wonder how it feels to be so close and yet so far ? Does it make you mad or curious?”

———

“I do not want anything prepared, I want the two of us to go out so you can see the kingdoms where so many people admire you and look up to you. On top of that I was shown a great spot for hearty food.” Slate said smiling hoping for an opportunity to come about for him to mend some of the divide that came between him and his father due to his youth and events that had transpired.

Chimera licked his lips as his gaze followed Nyer’s hands, “Do not forget my lovely Nyer, I have been patient for a great many eras. The wait only makes victory more delicious.” While his words have have been true, his eagerness was evident. He raised his gaze to meet the Changeling’s, grinning, “Does it make you mad or curious, to have to wait on engaging me so? Although.. is there a rule saying you need to?”

— — — — —

“Are you certain?” Seth hesitated, “I haven’t gone outside of the palace in some time.. I cannot imagine what has been going on.”

“I have always wondered which part of me you enjoyed most ...” Nyer said with a grin running his hands across his body revealing the front of his body slightly before turning around and laying against the table and revealing some of his backside and looking over his shoulder to Chimera. “Do we need rules, can an era pass in a blink?” Nyer asked.

———

 “I think that is just what you need, to remember you matter to people to.” Slate smiled “should we get going ?”

“Your eyes.” Chimera replied without hesitation as he watched the Changeling tease him, “I don’t believe you realize how much one can convey through their sight, and whether or not you know it, yours are very alluring... I wonder what would happen if you became aware of it, how you could use just a look to bring worlds to their knees.” The strange faerie creature licked his lips again, making sure he held Nyer’s gaze as he did so.

— — — — —

“Yes.. Lead the way.” Seth decided there was in point in arguing as Slate was right, and he had done enough damage today.

Nyer snickered “What a way with words you have.” He stood up before moving to lean against Chimera so that his back was to the Faes chest.

———

Slate graves a few things before leading Seth out of the castle and doing his best to follow the path that Opal had lead him through. “I know you will love the food when we get there.”

“An yet you continue to tease me so..” Chimera breathed against the faerie’s neck as he sat still, enjoying the closeness of another, “You must be so very excited at your future prospects as prince and then king.”

— — — —

As the two walked through the kingdom, Slate was able to recognize the way that Opal had taken him by finding her dilapidated shack, her chest still tucked under the bed. From there, the path to the bbq sort of buffet was easy to find.

Seth looked around at the place, “I had no idea any of this was here.”

“I think you could hardly hold such feelings against me now can you ?” Nyer said with a smile as he leaned against the Fae “I have waited long enough and at last everything is coming together so perfectly.”

———

Slate could not help but take a long glance at the shack as they passed by he was rushed with feelings. As they approached he turned to Seth “This Place is great you are going to love it.”

Chimera licked Nyer’s neck before placing a soft affection at his ear and whispering, “Patience garners the greatest rewards, but you are making it truly difficult to contain myself.” Nyer could feel the faerie creature’s obvious want through both their clothing.

— — — — —

Seth didn’t miss the Look Slate had given the hut, “I’m sure... perhaps on the way back, we can stop back and you can take that chest in there.”

The two arrived at the outside dining pavilion shortly. A handful of the Changelings there were quick to notice the pair of Dragons and word did spread, but it appeared as though things were to run per normal.

“I believe that is an area which I am very specialized.” Nyer said with a breathy hint of relaxation “has the Queen come to see you since your confinement here ?”

———

“I guess nothing really gets past you.” Slate chuckled but the weight of such awareness was daunting and he could not fathom the strain it must cause his father. He grabbed some food and sat alongside Seth “I want to bring some joy back to this land.”

"Twice, but she stayed far from me.. At the edges of my tower here." Chimera seemed almost to lament, "But I believe if anyone could sway her to my favor, it would be you... After all, I didn't harm her in the least during my reign." Chimera breathed again against Nyer's skin as he spoke, inhaling the Changeling's scent.

-- -- -- -- --

"It is a fault of being the creator to this place, and sharing my flesh to help in birthing you." Seth answered, his cheeks flushing slightly at the memory, "As half of myself and half of Noah, we all share an insight into one another that no one else could possibly possess.. Except perhaps between you and your friend." He referred to Opal as he looked at the plates at food before them, a smile threatening to break out as he observed them, "I at least understand why she wanted to do the things she wanted to do... She brought you here, didn't she?"

“What a shame, my light of lights cannot see the beauty in her dark reflection.” Nyer mused licking his lips slightly lowering his head on his shoulder. “So you miss my Queen then ? Tell me do you truly?” Nyer spoke in a breathy fashion.

———

“The first time we snuck out of the castle we came here so this place holds a special connection I guess.” Slate blushed at the admission “you know you taught me so much, now I need to return what you lost.”

“I do. I rather loved you both, but she is so smitten with you, there is no room for anyone else in her gaze.” Chimera was completely captivated by the pale Changeling, “But I do not want you to think that my thoughts do not conjure you up in my mind, both in memory of what we’ve done and fantasy of what I hope will be.”

— — — — —

“I just... I want you to be able on your own, for whatever may come. There’s no possible way to prepare you for everything the plains of existence can offer, but if you can be quick on your feet and in your mind, then I consider my job done well.” Seth spoke as he picked at the food on his own plate, “I was so unprepared for when I met your father... After our first handful of meetings, which I would say didn’t go well, although not poorly either, I visited his dreams. I had to know what he really thought. I... I don’t have any advice on love to give you, other than doing what you feel is right.”

“How does it feel knowing you have a Prince in your arms ?” Nyer said with a breath one of his hands tracing along the Faes body “there are people that will resent me though and if something were to happen to me could you please take care of my Queen ?”

———

“You did your part now it is my turn as your son to show you just what I can do.” Slate said confidently

“I would keep her safe even after your return.” Chimera mused with a smile, “Perhaps we could conceive a contract binding our fears and desires. After all, if anyone were to wrong you in any way, they immediately have me as their enemy. Of course.. we could draw such business out after some fun?” His gaze continually traveled over Nyer’s form and he was keen on every touch the pale Changeling granted him.

— — — — —

Seth was quiet a long moment as he studied the Dragon prince before he quietly said, “What exactly are you thinking?”

“I look forward to conceiving all sorts of things with you but honestly I do not know how you can control the desire of this moment.” Nyer spoke with heat now turning to face the Fae and bringing his lips to just beneath his ear and neck.

———

“I need to go beyond the thorns and find a way to bring our family back together again.” Slate said with seriousness “but I need you to understand I am not running from you.”

“Mmm.. You probably do not realize how unfair you’re being to me right now, but I so love you and your games..” Chimera purred, his muscles flexing as he fought not to break the chains binding him, “Tell me Prince Nyer, are you truly afraid of your rivals may harm you?”

— — — — —

The light seemed to vanish from Seth’s eyes as Slate’s words sunk in. He was quiet again for a long moment before came a weak, “When we return to the castle, I need to give you the key.. Like I gave your father.”

“No I am not but one cannot help being cautious in such situations and I rather enjoy making deals with you as the signing of such things tends to be exhilarating.” Nyer said before working his affections southward to the Faes collarbone.

———

“I would ask you to come with me, the truth is, I am terrified with the idea of being away from you, all I know is this place and what is beyond is terrifying but I would do anything to put back together what we have loss.” Slate tried to sound confident despite his own nervousness.

“Must you excite me so?” Chimera groaned at the traveling affections, “Your touch makes it wonderfully distracting for me to gather my thoughts into something beneficial for both of us.”

— — — — —

“I knew you wouldn’t stay here forever. And it’s not possible for me to venture back to the human world in any case.” The Dragon admitted, staring off into the void beyond the inner mirror, “I purposely broke the contract I held with a particular family’s bloodline. The last one I had a contract with gave up her emotion of romance. And after meeting my diamond.. I realized that I was so wrong to accept such terms. But you shouldn’t be bound by the same restrictions as I am. You’re only half faerie, so you might just fall under the purview of Changeling. Perhaps you should speak to Noelle. She can tell you what to expect.”

“Do you really wish for me to stop ? I must be losing my touch.” Nyer snickered as his affection worked further down nearing the center of the Faes chest.

———

“I will but for now we can enjoy our meal together.” Slate said assuredly his mind pondering the contract that once existed.

“Truthfully no.. I crave contact, particularly from you.” Chimera tried in earnest to break the chains, “Why are you doing this? What is it you truly want from our conversations?”

— — — — —

“Do you..” Seth cleared his throat, “Do you have anything you want to ask me? I don’t want to have secrets from you, just like I don’t have secrets from Noah.”

“At first all I wanted was the means to take my revenge on the dragon but the more time I spent with you the more I remembered just how much I loved being in your company.” Nyer got adventurous with his hands as he spoke “now that everything is falling into place I just really want to celebrate.”

———

“Yeah, are you looking forward to when I bring him back here ? Maybe we can all come here together.” Slate said with a smile “Is there anyone you want me to check on for you on the other side ?”

Chimera purred at the sensual caressing, his body clearly wanting, “Will you forget about me after your ascension? I would be ever so heartbroken in such an event.”

— — — — —

“Yes.. I think Noah would enjoy this place.” Seth smiled at his diminishing plate of food, “There is a thing called the Night Circus I’d like if you could visit. There’s a number of people who were a part of it and I wonder how they’re doing.. Ada, the ringmaster is one individual. She’s of particular interest to me. Also there’s a pair of fire breathers who I was close with.. I doubt any of the original crew are still there, are even alive, but it would be nice to know if any are doing well.”

“You know me better then that.” Nyer said slyly his affection now finding its way somewhere around the Faes chest “after all the special moments we have had, it is my heart that hurts knowing you are bound to this place against your will which is one motivation for me giving myself to you so that you can remember our past.”  Nyer was now at his knees and found himself lower towards the Faes stomach.

———

“I will find out what happened to them for you.” Slate smiled “Besides dad were there any others there that you were friends with ?” Slate enquired

Chimera watched the Changeling with an inquisitive gaze, “What would you say if I told you that you had the means of freeing me? Do you really wish to proceed without me being able to reciprocate exactly how I feel for you?”

— — — — —

“There is another.. Her name was Zoya and she a part of the circus as well.” Seth leaned forward on the table, lowering his voice, “Ada was in love with this Mage, but she knew such relationships at the time were taboo, so for her end of her family’s lasting contract with me, Ada offered up her emotion of romance. Once I pieced together what was happening, I... I returned here with your father, severing the contract and giving her back her ability to love and feel love. Ultimately, Zoya married another young man from the circus and they had a son... I’m not sure if Zoya or her husband Matvey are still alive, but she came from a potent arcane bloodline that originally had roots in Arcadia. Finding her lineage may even help you in finding my... Our Diamond.”

“What if I freed you and another stole your interest in me.” Nyer spoke with breathy seduction. “Do you wish to be out of these shackles already?”

———

“You seem to have fond memories of the human world and had quite a few friends there.” Slate spoke with a deep sense of admiration “I hope I can find friends there to.”
