The dragon's harem

The hulking cockroach growled, swinging his fist at Selena’s face.

TAP! She appeared behind the army of hulking cockroaches, licking her bloodied hands, and cleaning her claws. Those claws were too sharp, precise, and deadly. The moment any of the hulking cockroaches moved or breathed, its body fell apart in slices.

“Told you-nya. There are many of you in the seventh layer of hell-nya.” She flicked her finger and a hell portal appeared. From it a blue-skinned woman with a nose dangling down to her knees walked out, her massive ears flapping beside her face.

“What’s all of this mess?” The woman looked around and her eyes stopped at Selena, “Great Sultan Maharaja, I doubt we need more roaches.”

“They stood in my way-nya.” Selena scratched her head, “I can’t just leave the corpses here- nya, they’ll rot and spread diseases-nya. Feed them to the sinners or the hellhounds-nya.” “And you can drop the nya…” The woman sighed, “The overgod isn’t here.”

“Sorry! Sorry, it’s a habit at this point.” She cracked her neck, “See you later Guda.” Selena jumped away as she followed the tracks, leaving poor Guda with a massive mess to clean. Guda looked back at the gate and waved her long nose, ten massive minotaur-like devils walked out, dragging massive carts with black chains. “General Guda.” One of them walked forward and bowed, “We’re at your service.”

“Clean up those corpses and make sure not a single drop of blood is left.” Guda replied with a tired face, “It’s Maharaja’s orders.”

“The sultan?” The minotaur-like devil gasped, “She was here? Which one?”

“The young one. The older one should be on a mission.” Guda walked toward the gate, “Even I don’t know the details. So don’t start sniffing around, unless you want the overgod to skin you alive.”

Isdis’s Abominable Yeti jumped sky-high with her still latched on his back, running from the frenzied white dragon chasing them across the forest. Kory chased them everywhere, ripping trees out of their roots with each of her steps.

The wolves and yetis ran at Kory’s side as they awaited Isdis’s signal to attack. Kory didn’t seem to pay them any mind as she was confident a single slap from her wins would be enough to crush them down.

Isdis knew that besides the Abominable Yeti, no monster in this forest could keep up with an adult white dragon, and even the Abominable Yeti could barely run away, let alone fight.

“Why are you running?” Kory growled behind them, her massive maw cracking open with a deafening roar, shaking the whole forest.

Isdis looked back, seeing Isbert silently standing on Kory’s head, looking down at her with indifference. This chase had been going for at least several minutes, why wasn’t she attacking?

Suddenly, Isbert lifted her right foot and stepped over Kory’s right horn, grabbing onto it with her toes. She did the same with her left foot, ending up standing on Kory’s horns, “I’m taking control of your magic, blast them with a breath weapon.” She said.

Kory gasped, feeling a painful headache piercing her head, it was like her two horns had become sore teeth and her brain had frozen. A dragon’s horns are extremely durable and sturdy, they are in no way sensitive, yet with Isbert stepping on them, they felt like two ice spikes piercing Kory’s head.

Kory started charging her breath, and Isbert adjusted the power so it wouldn’t immediately kill Isdis and the Abominable Yeti, she didn’t trust Kory to have such a delicate touch.

With a white flash, a violent storm of frigid snow and sharp ice shards burst forth from Kory’s throat, ripping the ground apart and freezing the trees solid.

Isdis waved her hands and spawned two small drums and a warhorn in her mouth, she blew the horn and started drumming, sending the Abominable Yeti into a blind rage. He howled, drumming on his chest as he jumped forward, swinging from a tree as he lunged back at Kory’s breath.

The Abominable Yeti curled into a ball as he tanked Kory’s breath and flew right through it, Isdis barely hiding on his back. He latched on Kory’s face, roaring at her eye as he clenched a fist and punched her right in the face.

Isdis barely managed to jump from the Abominable Yeti’s back and swung an ice sword at Isbert who was standing still on Kory’s head.

The other yetis and wolves couldn’t even come close, watching in horror as their leader and a dragon fought, shaking the ground. On top of those rampaging titans, Isdis and Isbert

danced, swinging their swords in a dual of fencing and magic.

Isdis swung her sword at Isbert’s neck, but Isbert easily dodged and pushed her aside. No matter how Isdis tried to attack, she couldn’t balance herself on Kory’s back. Who knows trying to stand on a rampaging dragon would be hard, even standing on a bull would’ve been far easier.

“Balance.” Isbert said as she grabbed Isdis by the wrist and pulled her, stepping on her toes to trip her down. When Isdis was falling, Isbert swung her foot up and kicked her in the face, forcing her to remain standing. “That what’s you’re lacking,” She grabbed her by the hair, “But I’m impressed, You’re looking fine despite how cold it is.”

Currently, they were fighting in a -60c{-76F} cold, most humans can’t survive a single second in such a frigid environment, but Isdis had already gotten used to it thanks to her blood, liking all the way back to Isbert herself.

Isbert grabbed Isdis’s wrists together in one hand, “This is where our fight ends. Kory, finish things up.”

In the blink of an eye, Kory bit the Abominable Yeti’s upper torso off, she was just playing around, but now that she got the order, she didn’t hold back.

“Let me go!” Isdis growled, trying to attack Isbert but failed, her magic wasn’t responding.

“After we go…” Isbert’s eyes flashed blue and Isdis’s vision blacked, she felt as if something heavy smacked into her chest. She bent forward and coughed, finding herself sitting on blue ice. “You…” Isdis growled as she lifted her head, but immediately fell silent. She was sitting in a massive throne room built purely from blue and white ice.

Engraved walls, chandeliers with glowing crystals, massive pillars, and tens of masterfully crafted statues and glass-like chairs and tables. Isbert was standing in front of Isdis with two maids behind her.

Both maids had blue hair, but one looked a lot younger, in her early twenties with short hair, glowing blue eyes, and snow-white skin. The one looked much older with long hair, red lips, large breasts, and a gentle face.

From their magic, Isdis could tell without an introduction, but Isbert introduced them anyway. “Kory Shirony, The adult drakaina you were fighting” She looked at the young maid, “And this is her mother Gamond Shirony. She’s a great wyrm white drakaina, you saw her standing on the mountain.”

Isdis immediately conjured her ice sword and lunged at Isbert, aiming at the throat. CLING! Gamond caught Isdis’s sword with two fingers, “Oh my, what a violent kid. You can’t do that here, you’ll get killed.”

Isdis looked around, noticing that countless maids appeared beside the walls, all of them were camo-flashed white drakainas, the majority were greatwyrms and the youngest was a young adult drakaina.

“There are over ten thousand maids here, four thousand of which are great wyrms…” Gamond clenched her fingers and shattered Isdis’s sword, “They are suuuper protective of their queen, give Isbert the wrong look, and they’ll rip you limb by limb and cook you for dinner.”

Kory giggled, “Like what happened to that witch? She tasted great.”

Isbert looked at Isdis, “A devil witch from the nine hells lobbied a lot to get here and speak with me. She wanted me to help her build a frozen demi-plane and started babbling about

making a lot of money out of it.”

Gamond swung her arm, “The queen asked her to keep her nose to the ground at all times, but when she dared look up, I crushed her legs with a stomp. We then cooked her for dinner.” Those dragons weren’t playing around, they saw everything besides themselves and Isdis as

food.

“Don’t harm her.” Isbert sighed, “She might be weak, but her husband is a whole other monster.” She looked at the Gamond and approached her, “He’ll burn this castle to the ground before we can stop him.”

Gamond scratched her chin, a thirsty glare on her face. “Is he the dragon you spoke of

before?”

“It’s him, Arad Orion. This is his wife.” Isbert started walking toward her throne as Gamond giggled, “Are you serious? I can’t sense a slither of power from her…how did she manage to get him?” Gamond approached her throne, “May I get my vacation? I’ve got some urgent

business to take care of.”

“Arad is training with Lilia. Unless you want to be her dormant, I suggest you hold still.” Isdis looked at one of her maids who was standing in the corner.

“I tried to sneak a peak at her ice experiment when she was here. I spent a decade being naked

and strapped to the ground of her hallway. I can’t tell how many times she walked on me.” The maid replied with a pained face.

“That one is a great wyrm like you.” Isbert put one leg on another, “Don’t get in trouble with

Lilia.”

“Come on, my queen. I’m not that stupid…” She giggled, “We’ll, I may be a bit dumb, but not

to that point. I’ll go check on my old friend and see what she’s doing. I’ve got some intel that

she could help me with.”

“Mom!” Kory glared at her, “You’re a mother!” She growled.

“Your father was as weak as the one before, didn’t even last a second before I ate him.”

Gamond replied with a sad face. The mating/marriage ritual of dragons always includes a fight to determine the result.

If the male loses, the female has three options, leave, accept him as a mate and she’ll be the dominant one, or mate with him, and eat him right after like most spiders do. As a maid close to the ice queen, Gamond got a lot of marriage proposals, Kory’s father showed promise, but The sadly lost in the fight. As a respect to his power, she did the deed with him and ate him

right after.

“Fine go, but I won’t save you if you end up in trouble.” Isbert sighed and Gamond

disappeared.

Gamond appeared inside an old cave in the mortal world, looking at the terrified kobolds that

just saw her appear out of nowhere.

Gamond looked forward with a smile, “It’s been a while, Claug. Still stuck in that ugly

draconic body of yours?”
