Chapter 10: Our Beginning

Years passed, and as the kingdom flourished under our rule, Dragona and I found our love deepening with each passing day. Together, we faced the trials and tribulations of ruling a kingdom, but through it all, our bond remained unbreakable.One morning, as the sun rose over the horizon and bathed the palace in golden light, Dragona and I found ourselves standing in the gardens, hand in hand, watching as the kingdom bustled with activity."It's hard to believe how far we've come," Dragona remarked, her voice filled with awe.I nodded, a sense of pride swelling within me. "Indeed. But none of it would have been possible without you by my side, Dragona."She smiled, her eyes shining with affection. "And none of it would have been possible without you, Alex."As we stood together, basking in the warmth of the morning sun, a sense of contentment settled over us—a contentment born of the knowledge that we had overcome every obstacle that had stood in our way and emerged stronger and more united than ever before.And then, as if on cue, a new chapter of our lives began to unfold—a chapter filled with the promise of new beginnings and endless possibilities."I've been thinking," I began, turning to face Dragona. "About our future."She looked at me, her eyes curious yet hopeful. "What about our future, Alex?""I... I think it's time," I said, my voice filled with determination. "Time for us to start a family."A smile spread across Dragona's face, and she reached out to take my hand in hers. "I think that's a wonderful idea, Alex."In that moment, the weight of our shared decision lifted from our shoulders, replaced by a sense of excitement and anticipation for the journey that lay ahead.As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, Dragona and I prepared for the arrival of our first child with a sense of joy and wonder that surpassed anything we had ever known before.And when the day finally arrived, and our child was born into the world—a beautiful, perfect miracle cradled in our arms—we knew that our love story was complete.As we watched our child grow and thrive, surrounded by the love and support of our kingdom, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the journey that had brought us to this moment.Together, Dragona and I had overcome every obstacle, defied every expectation, and forged a future that was brighter and more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.And as we looked towards the horizon, our hearts full of hope and promise, I knew that our love would endure for all eternity—a beacon of light in a world filled with darkness, guiding us towards a future filled with joy, laughter, and the boundless possibilities of love's embrace.
