I really didn’t need him to command me, I wanted to learn how to fly like birds. I practiced for what seemed like hours until I was soaring with Tylendel through the practice hall. I was delirious with adrenaline and having the time of my life. I loved the way the wind felt against my skin and hair. This was something my brothers would never be able to experience, and I took selfish pleasure in that knowledge.
Tylendel landed back on the floor and beckoned for me to join him. I really wanted to keep flying and even leave the hall to take to the sky, but he said that he had more training and he was only there for one night.
Sadly, I came back down with a bit of a rough landing, stumbling a little as I did. At least I didn’t skid across the tiles like I had the first time.
“Better,” Tylendel praised. “Now, another ability we dragons possess is the control of fire. First, I want to see if you can conjure it. If not, that would be disappointing. However, you may be able to control fire that is already present. But we will see the depths of your skills. Now, like with all things, you have to will the fire to you.”
I was beginning to get a grasp on how will power worked where I was concerned. Such a powerful weapon in and of itself. I closed my eyes and held my hand out, imagining that I was rolling a ball of fire in my palm. I concentrated like I had when flying and began to feel a heat rise within my core. It didn’t hurt, but was more comforting in its nature.
The heat traveled from my core through my arm to my hand, and I opened my eyes to see a ball of fire rolling like an orb in my palm. My mouth dropped open in shock as I watched the magic.
“Impressive,” Tylendel said. “You can conjure the flames of Dracal. It is a heat far more intense than any regular flame. It is a fire that breathes life into every dragon and is sacrosanct.”
I couldn’t take my eyes off the fire orb in my hand. I moved my fingers and watched as the fire rolled around my palm. “This is amazing!” I exclaimed as I grinned widely.
“It is. Now, throw it,” Tylendel ordered.
I looked at him, then turned slightly and made the motion as if I were tossing a spear at the wall and watched in utter shock as the fire ball left my hand and blasted the wall, charring and cracking the stone.
“Holy fuck!” I shouted.
“A very powerful weapon indeed, and one that can kill both vampires and werewolves,” Tylendel said. “Along with the strength of our bodies, the fire is our greatest defense.”
I looked down at my hands, amazed by my own ability. “I see, Sir.”
“There is something else I want to teach you. This will be a simple lesson. How to withhold your venom. You may want to feed from someone, and not want them to have pleasure. Or you may want to feed without killing. This is a good trick to know,” Tylendel said.
I smirked. “I have to will my venom to not release, Sir?” I asked, assuming the mechanics of the trick.
Tylendel chuckled and nodded. “Yes. Now, let us see if you can do it. Bite me.” He held out his arm and cocked an eyebrow indicating he wanted me to proceed.
“My venom will not hurt you, will it, Sir?” I asked as I took his wrist into my hand.
Tylendel shook his head. “It will not.”
With that knowledge, I concentrated on not wanting my venom to leak through my fangs. Then I bit into his flesh. His blood flowed into my mouth and I nearly swooned from the delicious and fiery flavor. Oh, sweet Jesus, it was amazing! I could feel his blood heating my body up inside. He tasted better than any human I’d ever fed on. I wanted to drink from him forever.
“Enough,” Tylendel said. “Do not make me force you to release.”
I could hear the stern warning in his tone. As much as I didn’t want to let go, I knew to ignore his command would only bring me pain. I forced myself back and licked my lips as I looked up at him.
“Did it work, Sir?” I asked. My body was buzzing with energy, having fed on him for just a few swallows.
He flicked his wrist as my bite wounds healed. I noticed he didn’t heal as fast as I did, but he still healed pretty quickly. Tylendel nodded. “It did. Your bite was quite painful. Now you know how to do it.”
I had no idea that it was painful to him. He never flinched or even made a sound. I supposed that was a testament to just how powerful he was.
“Thank you, Sir.” I smiled, pleased that I’d learned something else new.
He nodded. “Let us continue with more… pleasurable lessons.”
He stepped up behind me, slipping his arms around my waist. I moaned as one of his hands slid down further and under my tunic to take hold of my cock. “My time is nearing an end and I would have my cock inside of you before I leave.”
He would find no resistance from me. Not only did he say having sex with him would make me stronger, but I knew it would feel wonderful and I wanted that pleasure. Who knew when I would be able to have it again?
I turned and kissed his soft lips and he gripped the back of my head, his fingers tightening in my hair as our mouths pressed hungrily against one another. His tongue took control of me and it was almost as if I could taste his desire as we kissed.
He pulled away and licked my lips, then bit my bottom lip, pulling it ever so slightly. “Tell me, boy, among your brothers, whose cock do you enjoy the most?”
