First Date

The city of Naamah was the largest city in the Kingdom of Antares. Famous for it's beautiful and well developed architecture, the city was widely known as the Jewel of the Kingdom with many travelers commenting on its unparalleled beauty at night.

There were a variety of races bustling about.

From the extremely common beastmen, to the rare elf, and dwarf, followed by the even rarer human.

There was always a lively atmosphere present in the streets but today, the aura of excitement was even more prevalent.

That was because Princess Yara's royal carriage was seen out on the streets after a few months of no sightings.

She was seen as the most beautiful woman in Antares and was extremely popular with the locals.

The princess was so graceful and warm that men didn't frantically lust after her, women looked up to her, and rowdy children listened to her.

So naturally, everyone was excited to see the unparalleled beauty of their goddess once again!

A large crowd had been following behind the carriage since it was sighted in the city.

After twenty minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a small bookstore called 'The Written Hideaway'.

It was owned and operated by a very beautiful lesser dragon named Lisa and her daughter.

Lesser dragon is a term used to describe dragons that awaken no magical element.

Despite the lesser in their name, they are usually treated as ordinary citizens by other citizens, but harshly discriminated against by noble dragons.

"It stopped!"

"Is she really as beautiful as the rumor's say?"

"Even the vampire queen pales in comparison."

"I have to ask where she buys her makeup from."

"Frank…why?"

"D-don't look at me like that I just want my wife to look like her!"

Creak!

When the carriage door finally opened, the street became deadly silent.

This was the moment they all wanted to see.

The moment when a goddess descended from the immortal plane to grace her followers with her beauty.

They were going to thoroughly burn this moment into their minds for years to come.

Who knows when the next time they'll see their goddess is?!

What happened next shocked everyone.

A man suddenly descended from the carriage.

He wore a long black robe with no shirt underneath so that his tattooed abs and chest were fully visible. Around his neck dangled an expensive ceremonial necklace that was rumored to have been bought yesterday.

Dark pants and a pair of well made black sandals completed his outfit, giving him a rather simple yet stylish look.

His long wine red hair was tied into a ponytail that draped down his back, allowing everyone to get a good view of the most handsome man they'd ever seen.

His eyes shone like two perfect gemstones, one ruby and one amethyst.

He had two pair of proud horns on top of his head, and his scaly clawed hands let all know he was a dragon and a rather powerful one at that.

"Who is he?"

"Was there someone who looked like that in the castle?"

"First I'm hearing of it..."

"I wonder what his workout routine is…"

"Why? You're very fit, Mia."

"Oh, I just want my husband to look like that."

As the man got down from the carriage, he raised his hand to assist someone inside who had yet to be seen.

Was their goddess coming now? Then who was this man?

Princess Yara once said to the old lady who owns the flower shop that no man or woman on this earth still living could hold her heart.

Everyone knew she met some man when she went missing several years ago and she returned with a child.

They had assumed her lover had perished, because who in their right mind would abandon such an incredible beauty?

Slowly, a figure the crowd actually recognized took the man's hand, and descended as well.

"It's lady Lailah!"

"Oh? Isn't she married to the prince?"

"Then could that man be…?"

"I thought he was supposed to be sickly?"

"If he's sick with something, I want it too."

The couple were much too enamored in their date to notice they were the topic of conversation amongst the citizens and entered the bookstore together hand in hand.

-

Upon entering the bookstore, the couple was greeted with a warm, cozy atmosphere that could instantly relax the nerves of a couple on their first date.

Rows of books as far as the eye could see decorated every corner.

Everything from fictional stories, to fables and even spell books.

"Welco- Oh! Lady Lailah it's been so long!" A small voice was heard rushing towards them at breakneck speed.

A small, brown haired child dove towards Lailah and gave the young witch the biggest hug she could muster.

This caused Lailah to giggle furiously and return the bearhug with one of her own. "Little Mira you've gotten so big!"

The little girl, upon hearing this stepped back and puffed her chest out with pride. "That's right Mira is a big girl now, I'm already six!

Upon stepping back Exedra was finally able to get a good look at the young girl.

She had long brown hair and a pair of amber eyes. Her small and cute face was decorated with freckles and she had a tiny brown horn on her forehead.

Poking out of her back were two little dark blue wings with a tail to match.

Suddenly, Mira noticed she and her favorite customer was not alone and she became very curious about the man who was standing next to her.

As she stared into his two differently colored eyes all she could think was, "So cool…"

Exedra upon hearing this chuckled slightly before the young girl walked up to him, and gestured for him to pick her up by raising her arms into the air.

He briefly looked back and forth between his wife and this unknown young child, and both seemed to be waiting for him to accept her request.

Exedra did not have a problem with children, but he found this one's lack of wariness to be slightly concerning. "Should you not be more wary of strangers, little one?"

Mira looked back and forth between Exedra and Lailah before responding.

"Well you're with lady Lailah, so you can't possibly be a bad person!" She nodded satisfactorily, as if she'd just made the most brilliant deduction in the history of independent thought.

Exedra shrugged and tentatively lifted her up, allowing her to get a better look at his mismatched eyes.

"Ooohh! Ones red and ones purple!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Indeed they are. I guess you like them as well?"

"Yea! Were you born with them?"

"No, these are a bit of a gift."

"A gift? Like from dwarf clause?"

"Not quite." 

"I want a gift like that!"

"Oh really? Then shall I pull out my eyes and give them to you then?" He joked

"Mister no, you can't do that!"

"I was just kiddi-"

Before he could complete his joke the little girl wiggled in his arms and pulled out a silver spoon from her back pocket. "Scoop them out with this! It'll hurt less!"

Exedra stared blankly at the little girl before turning his gaze towards his wife who watched this scene with a large grin.

"Is she serious?"

Lailah: "Quite."

Mira: "Yes I am!"

"Mira! Are you helping the customers proper-"

Suddenly a woman came into view from a door behind the counter.

She was obviously Mira's mother, she shared her bright amber eyes and long wavy brown hair.

She had two bright horns on her head, and behind her back swung a draconic tail with beautiful cyan blue scales.

Her body was extremely curvaceous, with large H cup breasts and a round perky bottom.

She exuded the sensual charm of an older woman without even trying.

The woman froze when she saw the most handsome man she'd ever seen holding her daughter while she had her signature spoon in her hand.

"Mom guess what?! I'm gonna get this guy's eyes!"
