The Dragons of Chang
by nightshade

Drake looked up from his reading as he heard the wind rustle the window curtains. they were coming back. setting his quill aside and closing the huge leatherbound book, he got up from the table and slipped on his robe. the candle light flickered on his lean 17 year old body, his dark brown hair rustling. stepping into the corridor, he looked out the main window, the setting sun shining on his reddish brown eyes. there they were, just above the horizon.

The three dragons alighted in the courtyard. they put down their bundles and stretched their tired wings. they each had an elongated body and long neck and tail. their wings extended from their arms but they had usable three digit hands at the tips. the eldest was Ceres. she had Aqua blue feathers with white underbody and white on wing tips. her eyes were Sea green,  and she bore a mane/crest jutting back around her wedge shaped head. She had a crest of white feathers down the end of her tail, and a slender tapered beak like muzzle. She breathed deep, swelling her ample breast with a white ruff of feathers covering much of the cleavage. "a good raid sisters, well done." Leigh, the dragoness next to her, scoffed.  the setting sun shone on her Red colored hide with the jagged light purple stripe pattern down her back, and her arrow shaped tail-tip. her yellow eyes glinted, long horns jutting back behind her angular head and muzzle.  her smile was twisted slightly by the scars over her left eye, nose, chest and back. she crossed her wing arms over her large ample breast. "bah, i still say we should have killed them. you know the humans are our enemies" Chandi the youngest hung back a little uncertainly.  her scales were Butterscotch, amber and orange cream colored with slightly lighter tone under her body and light brown stripes down her back. her tail bore a spade shaped bulb at the end. her red eyes looked uncertain, short twin horns jutting back behind her tapered wedge shaped skull and a slender tapered muzzle with razor sharp teeth. her wings fluttered a little over her pert and not too small breast. "i hate to argue sister but they didn't hurt us. its a shame we have to steal from them." Leigh snarled, "they took our land and now they hunt us down, none of them are any good." Ceres cleared her throat as she looked up at the abbey windows. "all of them?" she said calmly and Leigh followed her gaze. "humph you and your pet. nothing but a waste of food keeping him around." Chandi shook her head. "i think he's nice and he does help us." Ceres thumped her tail sharply on the cobbles."enough arguing, lets get this inside before dark." the trio gathered up the plunder and entered the abbey proper.

Drake brought in the try and Ceres looked up. " i have dinner for you." she smiled softly. "thank you, put it on the table." he put it down and stood by the elder dragon. "was it hard this time?" she nodded her head sadly and gently lay a claw on his shoulder. "you're so observant." she sighed. "we have to leave this place soon. i have learned of some dragons up north, were the humans have not come yet. and we cant keep raiding this way. it's too dangerous and not fair to those who work hard for their goods." Drake hugged her and she smiled.

Drake looked out over the valley from the hight window. he felt so conflicted. they were different true, and yet...they had raised him, ever since they had rescued him as an infant from the ruins of a crashed cart. ever since he had been a member of their family. Ceres was like a mother and Chandi had grown up with him and was practically a sister. Liegh put on a show of indifference but he could tell that she liked him too, despite her act. he sighed and turned away from the view, moving back into his bedroom.

Ceres sighed as he faced the other two. "you know we have no choice. we have to move and the time grows near." Leigh crossed her wings over her chest with a huff. "and what if he doesn't want to come with us?" Chandi sighed sadly. "then i guess we have to go alone." Ceres put a wing round the shoulders of the younger dragonesses kindly. "i don't want to lose him either, but you know the other reason we must reach our own kind." they both nodded. their time of mating was fast approaching and they were finding it harder and harder to hold back their urges. Ceres stepped back. "let us all retire and think this through, we will hear his decision in the morning." nodding, all three went to their separate rooms.

Ceres combed out her crest and sighed. she so hoped that Drake would agree to journey with them. he was more than a son to them after all these years. she felt her nipples swell and gritted her fangs. damn, her heat was coming so very soon and he was the only male around. she felt twinges between her thighs and smiled despite herself. not that it would be bad, he certainly was handsome enough. he often went without clothes in the summer and for a male of his species, he certainly was well equipped to please a female. she shook her head and hissed to herself. that was strictly a last resort, but she still wanted her 'son' to come with them, lover or no.

Leigh huffed as she oiled her scales, the lotion soothing the growing heat. "Ceres and her pet, huhh!" she gruffed as she set the bottle aside. she didnt care what the little scaleless freak decided, she was going to find a strong male dragon and mate with him. and yet, and yet... she felt a stirring deep inside. he had never treated her badly and bore her insults with remarkable calm. would it really be so bad? tears of confusion and shame pricking at her eyes, she threw herself into her nest and tried to sleep, her mind in turmoil.

Chandi moaned softly. the feelings were so strong and confusing. Ceres had tried to explain, but she had never felt this way before and it both excited and frightened her. she flicked her tail as she ran her wing-arms over her body and panted. images of male dragons ran though her head but she had only seen pictures of then and suddenly she saw Drake in her mind. he was so strong and lean and she felt the heat grow worse as she imagined him doing the things that Ceres had told her males did. curling up tightly in her nest, she too tried vainly to sleep.

The door to Ceres room slowly opened and the dragoness looked up. "i was expecting you." she hissed softly in their native tongue as she saw Leigh standing in the doorway. the younger stepped inside and closed the door. moving out of her nest, Ceres moved forward and the two embraced, hissing and murmuring as they moved their wings and tails over each others bodies...

Drake rolled over again and sighed. sleep would not come. getting up, he slipped on a robe and moved to the window. the warm breeze ruffled the cloth and the moonslight shone on his naked skin beneath. he heard a soft almost hesitant knock on his door and walked over. he opened it and was surprised to see Chandi there, looking very nervous. and yet, there was something in her eyes, a flicker of fire almost. "am, am i bothering you?" she asked, looking down at the floor. "not at all." he smiled, stepping aside to let her in. she moved inside and as she passed Drake caught a whiff of a strange scent. he had never smelt it before and yet it seemed familiar. it was subtle yet spicy and he felt himself grow warm as she passed him. "what can i do for you, sspah" he hissed a soft word and she smiled. "i like it when you call me sister." she said with a flicker of her tail. she turned to face him and Drake shivered with a new feeling. they had been naked together many times, the summers could grow very hot, and yet, tonight it was different. his eyes ran over her body, so very lean and sensuous and to his surprise his cock began to stiffen. she moved closer and as her breath ran over his face, he moaned. "Drake, it is my time of mating." she said with a whisper and her wing gently stroked his chest. his robe feel away, and he took her into his arms.

The moonslight shone on the scene as Drake and Chandi tumbled onto the bed, moaning and panting. his hands roamed over her body and she gasped hotly as he rubbed her breasts. soft hisses and murmurs came from her mouth as she arched her back into his hands. "mate me Drake, mmmm i need you so bad." she growled softly and the sound made his cock throb. he mounted her face to face clumsily. his cock poked at her thighs and stomach and with a groan of need she hefted her hips and got him lined up to enter her. he slid into her and they both groaned. he looked into her face as they mated, their breath's mingling. she bucked her hips into his, her eyes wild as he thrust as hard as he could into her hot sex. her nipples throbbed as he licked at them and she screamed as she had her first ever sex orgasm. he almost shot too as her hot juices soaked his cock and her sex milked at him for his hot seed. with a lusty groan he buried his face between her breasts, his hips jerking as he came into her. her tail beat at the bed as she felt his warm gushes spewing into her hungry womb. they both shouted and screamed as they mated, their bodies heaving as one.

Chandi cuddled him close and hissed softly. "ohh Drake, that was so good." he softly stroked her feathers and she crooned softly. "yes sssspah, so very good." as they snuggled she explained how Ceres had taught her of the time of mating, and how she had come to him to ease her urges. Drake smiled "'is that all i am to you, a way to feel better?" she looked at him with shock in her eyes and he touched her face. "i am sorry, i did not mean to say that badly." he kissed her softly and she shivered at the new yet welcome sensation. "you are very precious to me Chandi, you are all my family." he held her close and she growled soft words as he stroked her smooth scales.

Drake entered the main hall with a cart of food. "i have breakfast." the three looked up and smiled hungrily. as he laid their trays before them the scene was a little different than normal. Liegh tried to act aloof as normal, but he could see worry in Cere's eyes and they were both surprised when he traded tender nuzzles with Chandi. as he ate his own meal it was silent for a little then Ceres spoke. "Drake, have you decided?" he thought for a long moment then nodded. "i have. i shall go with you to the north." Leigh huffed and looked sullen, Ceres smiled gladly and Chandi gave a cry of delight. as the other two stared, she stood up, walked over to Drake and hugged him tightly.

Ceres flicked her tail as she and Drake stood in the library. "was it just Chandi that made you decide to come?" she asked softly. he smiled and shook his head. "not just that, but many things." he looked out the window, his eyes distant. "on my trips to the village i have seen many terrible things. the humans use your people shamefully. i have seen dragons beat and whipped, sold as nothing more than slaves. when they get too old to work or sick they are skinned. their pelts are used for clothes for fine ladies and the meat is sold in the marketplace." he trembled and clenched his hands. "it makes me ashamed to be human." he looked to her. "you have never treated me badly, you took me in and raised me as family. i am more dragon than man, and i want to be with you." tears ran down his face and Ceres moved forward. she enfolded him in her wings and stroked his hair as she had done many times when he had been frightened as a child. '"you are good and kind and i love you as my family." he said as he wiped his eyes. as they stood together he looked up into her face and time stood still. he softly put a hand to her cheek and she nuzzled it with a soft coo. his hands moved to her chest and she moaned as he stroked her breasts. "yes Drake, yes.' she breathed softly and they moved towards the couch...

Ceres hissed with need as she bent over the couch, her tail lashing the air. Drake groaned as he held her hips and they both gasped as he pushed his cock into her sex from behind. she felt different from Chandi, not as tight but so much hotter. she moved back into his thrusts and panted and growled soft words of love as he mated her deeply. she craned her neck and hissed, then clenched her eyes shut as she came. her juices spurted around his driving shaft and with a loud groan he came as well, his seed firing deep into her needy body. she moaned and barked softly as he held her close, his hands roaming over her body as they rested and nuzzled.<br>

Drake lay on his bed, the heat of the summer causing him to sleep on top of his bed naked. the door opened and he opened his eyes. it was past midnight and the light of the candle she carried shone on the face of Liegh. "so, you think you can turn Chandi and Ceres to your cause do you, skin boy?' she hissed, a fire in her eyes. she entered and Drake sat up."i dont understand?" she put the candle on the table and turned to him. she hissed, and climbing onto his bed, straddled his naked body, pinning his arms to the pillow. "shut up." she hissed and her scent hit him full force. his shaft swelled and she lashed her tail, looking down at him with hunger in her eyes, her breasts heaving with her deep hot breaths.

Leigh moaned with need as she rubbed her dripping cunny slit over his cock, then groaned as she moved down and his cock slid up into her sex. she kept his hands pinned to the bed and rode him hard. her triumphant smile slowly began to fade into an expression more primal, and soon she was gasping in deep breaths as she trembled. her tail thumped on the bed as she shuddered and came. she milked at his cock hard as her sex clenched and with a shout he gave her what her body needed.

She moaned and panted as she lay over him, huffing deeply. "very good freak. "she tried to sit up and moaned as she slid off his shrinking shaft. as she sat up, he took her wingarm in his grasp. "why do you act this way?" she looked at him and tried to pull away."let me go." he shook his head. "why the act Liegh?" she raised a claw, then stopped, her eyes uncertain, "i, i don't know what you mean." she lied. he smiled and sat up with her, his arms going round her. she struggled, but only a little as he held her close. "you call me a freak yet you are kind to me. you have never hurt me and tonight you came to me instead of Ceres or Chandi to ease your needs." she shook her head. "you were just convenient, that's the only reason." he put a hand over her breasts and she shivered. "is it?" she wriggled a little but her actions were just reflex as she responded to his tender touch. "i, i." she lowered her head and tears pricked at her eyes. "i can't lie anymore Drake." she held him tightly back and he murred as he stroked her neck. she sobbed loudly and he held her, letting her get it out. eventually she subsided and they lay together on the bed. she told him of how her family had been slaughtered by the humans when she had been a barely a child. she and Ceres had been saved by a injured elder of their village and when he died of his wounds, they had stayed together to survive. later, Chandi had joined them as they began their life of raiding. Drake listened and nodded and soothed her as she poured out her heart. as they snuggled, his hands moved over her body and soon she was panting softly as he made her heat grow in her again. with a deep sigh he moved over her and she accepted him into her, not this time with anger, but tenderness and love.
 
Ceres hissed tenderly as she nuzzled Drake's shoulder. "whats so absorbing?" he smiled at her and gestured at the book. "this tells of a human custom called marriage, its when a male and female join together as a family." Ceres blinked. "don't they have clans to be part of?" he shook his head. "this seems to be a way of starting a clan. the male always know that the children are his and the woman becomes his alone. its very confusing." Cere's nodded. "yes it is. that way they have only each other. and it seems to me that the children must be very lonely with just two parents to raise them." he smiled and softly stroked her cheek. "yes, i much prefer my family of three." she cooed softly. "do you want to do this marriage thing with us?" he looked at her then chuckled. "no. there is no need, for i already love you all and i look forward to being with the other dragons when we arrive."

Drake yawned as he stretched and stood. closing the book, he took the candle and headed for his room, his footsteps echoed a little on the stone floor and he yawned again. opening the door to his room he stopped. all three of the dragoness's were there. he stepped inside and Leigh closed the door. Ceres took the candle and set it aside while Chandi hissed softly and moved towards him. Liegh took his arms gently but firmly and he gasped then moaned as Chandi knelt and looped her long tongue over his shaft...

Drake panted hard, soaked in sweat as they all cuddled him close, rumbling deeply. "i hope," he panted. "i live long enough, to start the journey, with you." he said and they laughed and stroked his body tenderly.

"Thats everything." Ceres said as Drake put the last supplies into the pack. he straightened and wiped his brow. "you're sure this will be enough till we reach the north?" he asked and she nodded. "we only need supplies for you, we can forage as we go." Drake looked up at the building. "i shall miss this place, it was home." Chandi hugged him and barked softly. "we shall make a new home, all of us, at journey's end." he kissed her softly and Leigh came up and nuzzled him. "yes, all of us." as the ladies prepared themselves, Drake got dressed. he came out in leather and a helmet. "very good," Ceres smiled as she surveyed him in his flying leathers. "you look very handsome." Chandi flicked her tail and licked his cheek. "i'm glad you like your gift." Leigh came close and looked him over. "well i guess you'll pass." to the surprise of the others she grabbed him close and gave him a very passionate kiss, her tongue lapping at his. when she broke the kiss Drake looked a little dazed, but with a very happy smile on his face. "are we set then?" Ceres asked as he adjusted the pack on her back. "ready." Leigh said and took up her own cargo. "me too." Chandi said and nuzzled Drake as he climbed onto her back. he settled in the saddle they had made and soon they were into the air, heading north. for a long moment Drake looked back at the abbey, until it passed from view. stroking a hand along Chandi's side she hissed softly and he smiled. the abbey was the past, now it was time to make a new home, together.

Liegh stood watch as the other two slept. Drake tended the small fire as he cooked the rabbit he had caught. "we seem to be making good time." he said as the dragoness kept an eye on the surrounding rocks. "yeah." she said gruffly and he smiled. "you look lovely in the moonslight." she smiled despite herself and gave him a soft nuzzle before returning to her duties.

The months passed. they stopped at night and took supplies when they needed too. the human gatherings grew more and more sparse until they reached a long valley buried deep within a mountain range. they alighted and Ceres shrugged off her pack. "wait here." she moved forward carefully and vanished into a small crevice in the rock. the others waited, then Liegh looked up and hissed. "i hear something." the next moment the area was ringed by dragons. many of them bore scars and Drake was not surprised, if not exactly thrilled, to see that they did not view him with delight. one of them glided down into the clearing. "who are you, what do you want?' he said in dragon and Liegh stepped forward to meet him. "we seek our own kind." the leader looked at Drake. "and what of this?" she started to speak when Drake moved to his feet. "i come with them to seek a home as a member of their clan." the dragons hissed and barked between themselves at this human who spoke the tongue. a raise of a claw and the hubbub quieted. "can you prove this?" Drake shook his head. "you have only my word. if you will not allow me to pass, at least let my companions through,so they may live in peace." there was a long moment, then the leader laughed. "well said young one, you may all pass." on the other side they met up with Ceres, who had been prevented from warning them. "welcome, to Nesthome." the leader said as he led them to the valley ledge. beyond them lay a lush region of trees and grasslands, full of game. with the ladies at his side, Drake headed down into the valley.

Drake looked up from his book and set aside his quill when Leigh entered his small hut. "Drake, it is time." he nodded and stood. he took her claws in his hands and squeezed warmly. she smiled and kissed him and they went to join Ceres and Chandi. with them was a tall male dragon. "this is Huroc, he will be with us." Drake nodded and bowed. "i am honored." all the dragons were adorned with paints and the light of the bonfire flickered on their naked bodies. Leigh held out her wings to Drake and he stepped into them, his cock ready to give them what they needed...

Leigh took him by the hand as she lay on the grassy ground. with a moan he thrust into her and she hissed and growled happily as he mated her. she screamed as they came as one and panting hard, they looked up at the others. Huroc was panting too as Chandi and Leigh lapped at his large cock together and Liegh grinned at Drake. "they need you too." she rumbled and Drake kissed her then slid out and moved over to Ceres. the elder dragoness was on her knees as her long tongue lapped at Huroc's shaft and her pants turned to a loud shout of joy as Drake pushed into her from behind and mated her fast. she left Chandi to tend to Huroc and lowered her head with a deep loving growl as her human mate fucked her needy body. he gripped her breasts as he came and she answered his gushes with a sweet flow of her own. Huroc grinned and moved over to the still reclining Leigh as Chandi turned to face Drake and held out her wings to him in invitation. with a gasp and a groan he held her hips and thrust into her face to face as they stood there. the light of the fire flickered on the scene as they group-mated. Chandi wailed and her thighs trembled as they milked Drake of his seed. Drake panted hard as he held Chandi close. the sound of a loud scream and he looked towards Leigh. she was on all fours and Huroc was mating her hard. the sight kept him hard and he looked to Ceres. she was grinning at him and Chandi, gently running her wing claws over her body. he went to her and kissed her deeply. both she and Chandi got onto all fours and he took turns mating them. he shot seed into them both. sweat glistening on his body, he rested for a moment and smiled at the gasping Leigh. Huroc roared as he fired his seed into the dragoness. then he pulled out and she held out her arms to Drake. he went to her and in moments they were mating hard and fast. the sounds of Chandi and Ceres wailing as they were fucked hard by Huroc spurred them on and Drake shot again into the womb of his beloved Leigh. as they panted and groaned, they looked up to see the other two tugging on Huroc's cock.  the dragoness's trembled and groaned, Huroc's seed dripping from their sex's. with a loud roar he came over them, soaking them down with yet more cum.

Drake hurried to her side as Liegh waddled into the hut. "uhhh." she panted then hissed softly as he helped her to sit. he nuzzled her tenderly and she smiled. "what did the midwife have to say?" he asked and she flicked her tail tip. "very soon." his heart beat faster at the news that his child within Leigh would soon be born. "and Ceres and Chandi?" he asked, as she stroked her huge stomach mound. "them as well." she said and nuzzled him. "i love you Liegh." she hissed happily. "i love you too Drake, my sweet freak." he grinned at what had become a loving nickname and lay a hand on her large tummy. after the orgy that had welcomed them into the community, all three of the lady dragons had come to him with the news they were with child. surprised at first, he had very quickly become very happy at the news and had leapt into the role of expectant father with enthusiasm. as they each grew larger he had tended to their needs. he loved them all and the fact that they were bearing his children filled him with joy. they kissed and nuzzled tenderly then a young male stuck his head into the hut. "Drake you are needed, the time has come for Ceres and Chandi." they looked at each other and Drake helped Leigh to her feet as she waddled with him to the birthing grounds.

Ceres huffed as she squatted on the grassy bank. her wingclaws gripped Chandi's tightly as both of their stomachs heaved and shivered. Drake kissed Leigh then crouched behind them, supporting their backs, and nuzzled them. "i am here my ladies." Ceres craned her neck as she panted hard. "i am glad nuhhh!" Chandi was breathing in deep gasps as she gripped the other's wingclaw tightly. he murred and murmured soothingly to them as they worked to give birth. "Drake?" Liegh said and he looked up at her. she was moaning softly as he held her stomach. "i am ready as well." the attendants moved to join the others and soon all three were being supported by their mate as they heaved and grunted. Chandi was the first, screaming as her child slithered into the world and was dipped into the stream. "a girl!" the midwife said, then hurried to catch Cere's newborn. "a boy!" Leigh groaned then roared as Drake held her firmly in his arms. "and another boy!" all three ladies panted as the children were presented to them and Drake murred as he looked proudly at his children. "i love you all so much." he beamed and the exhausted dragonesses nuzzled him and smiled weakly.

===three years later===
Drake smiled as he closed the book. "and that is how we came to this place." he told the assembled kits. gathered around him were an array of children of varying ages. some were his and he smiled proudly at how strong and fine they were. others were pure dragon, and all were listening intently to his telling of the story. times had been good. he had been happily accepted into the clan and many of the females came to him for children. he had been a little surprised that the males did not object, but it wasn't one of their cultural taboos. he had continued to write in the book and all the children loved his tales of the world outside and how much better it was in the valley. the ladies were happy too,  very active in the life of the valley. Ceres was working to help organize the valley supplies and Chandi was delighting in teaching the youngsters to fly. and as for Liegh... he smiled softly as he looked to the side and saw Liegh there. she held a halfbreed child to her breasts and her tummy was largely swollen with yet another of his offspring. she gave him a tender smile and they kissed. life was good.

As they nuzzled the light of the three moons arose over the edge of the valley and shone down on them. this happy community, on the planet Chang, the third world of the star Ramses in the constellation of Draco.

the end

authors note---another change of pace story. humans have an unfortunate reputation of ruthlessly exploiting nature and i figured that it would sadly, be no different on other worlds.
