But Phoenix stands across the vortex with calm certainty radiating—her mind offering precision my raw power lacks, her structured approach providing direction my chaotic energy needs.
How?
Feed me your power,she responds.I'll direct, you generate—like electrical circuits completing their loop.
The request reverses traditional dragon gender roles completely—male providing power for female to direct, masculine energy yielding to feminine guidance. Every instinct in my body rebels against it. Dragons don't submit. Males don't yield. Dominance is our nature, control our is birthright.
Yet our bond has never followed convention.
Metu’s smirk widens as seconds pass without visible progress. The crowd shifts restlessly. Several dragons begin moving toward the exits, assuming our demonstration has failed.
In that moment, I make my choice—bond over tradition, partnership over pride, connection over control.
I close my eyes, centering myself through meditation techniques that have never fully succeeded until with my mate. The vortex continues raging between us, council members maintaining its chaotic energy while witnesses observe with increasing certainty of our failure.
I locate the vast reservoir of storm energy comprising my essential nature—raw power accumulated through three centuries. Instead of directing this power outward as individual expression, I channel it toward our bond connection—feeding energy through our mental link, offering my essence for her direction.
The sensation feels foreign at first—vulnerable, exposed. My jaw clenches, scales rippling across my skin as my body fights this unnatural surrender. Sweat turns to steam on my skin. My muscles tremble with the effort of yielding rather than dominating.
I feel you,Phoenix acknowledges.So much power...so much potential...
The hint of awe in her recognition sends unexpected pleasure through my system. For three centuries, my excessive power has only elicited fear, caution, and suspicion. Never appreciation. Never admiration.
Guide me,I respond simply, completing my surrender.
Phoenix's essence surrounds my power instantly—her precision containing my raw energy, her mathematical structure directing my chaotic force, her focused intention channeling my expansive capacity.
The sensation transcends physical pleasure, surpassing even our partial claiming's intensity. My cock hardens further, straining painfully against my leathers. Every nerve ending in my body fires simultaneously. A low growl escapes my throat, echoing across the suddenly silent amphitheater.
I sense her approach forming with captain's precision—storm energy redirected through geometric patterns, electrical current channeled through mathematical precision, chaotic power contained within a structured framework.
Now,she projects.Together.
I open my eyes, reconnecting with physical reality while maintaining our mental bond. Phoenix stands opposite me, copper hair floating on energy currents, amber-blue eyes glowing with intensified storm signature, ceremonial robes billowing dramatically despite her perfect stillness. Her beauty hits me like a physical blow. Not just her appearance—the strength of her mind, the steadiness of her spirit, the perfection of her as my counterpart.
In perfect synchronization, we extend our hands toward the vortex again—this time not as separate individuals attempting independent control but as a unified entity implementing a coordinated strategy.
I generate pure power—massive energy production flowing to her. The effort makes my entire body shake. Veins stand out on my neck and forearms. Steam rises from my skin as my temperature soars past what even a dragon should endure. My vision blurs at the edges, tunneling down to Phoenix and the vortex between us.
Phoenix provides precise direction. Her face shows the strain, sweat beading on her forehead, jaw tight with concentration. But her eyes remain clear, focused, absolutely certain.
The complexity of her thinking staggers me. What took me centuries of practice, she approaches with intuitive understanding, applying firefighting physics to supernatural forces without hesitation.
Together we engage the chaotic vortex—my generation with her direction, my power through her precision, my capacity via her control.
The difference manifests immediately. The chaotic vortex responds to our unified approach where individual efforts failed. Spectators lean forward as a visible transformation begins.
The council members exchange glances of surprise. Metu’s triumphant expression falters as transformation continues—vortex structure yielding to our unified control, chaotic energy submitting to our combined direction.
I experience dual awareness through our deepened bond—simultaneously feeling my massive power generation and witnessing her precise application. The sensation transcends previous connection experiences—unity beyond coordination, integration exceeding cooperation, oneness surpassing partnership.
My body responds to this deepened connection with primal intensity. My scales emerge fully along my forearms, shoulders, and spine—blue-silver patterns shimmering with electrical charge. Fangs extend fully, pressing against my lower lip. My pupils expand until only a thin ring of electric blue remains. My temperature rises so high that the stone platform beneath my feet begins to melt.
Through it all, I maintain perfect focus on Phoenix and our shared task.
The chaotic vortex undergoes complete metamorphosis under our unified direction—destructive potential converting to aesthetic display, harmful energy transforming to harmless beauty, dangerous power changing to safe magnificence.
Lightning that previously struck randomly now dances in complex, interwoven patterns—mathematical precision guiding electrical pathways, geometric structure organizing energy flows, tactical arrangement directing current distribution.
