The Lover in Me 5

I felt like everything was coming to a close now. When I had started my walk to Elfangor, I had been nervous but had been able to keep my anxiety under control. Now it was as if every one of the Plaguebringer's monstrosities were infecting my body.

I had to keep reminding myself that this was all due to nerves. I wasn't going to die, I was just going to be nervous for a little bit.

Upon reaching Elfangor's hut, I held my claw back from knocking.

Maybe I shouldn't be here, maybe I shouldn't be doing this. But I had to know, I had to.

I knocked on Elfangor's hut and hoped that he wouldn't wake up. Maybe he would just sleep through this and I could go away. He was the Head of the Warrior Department, so of course my wishes were just meaningless.

The candlelight shifted the shadows on the scrolls I was reading. I had performed a spell so that the chilly night air did not disturb me. Luckily Marco wasn't here to disturb my current task of planning who would perform coitus in the third nest this time.

I grasped my head as I tried to think of who would be a good match this time around. What dragons would have the necessary genes to please the Shadowbinder? What genes did we need? What type of dragons would others be searching for this time of year?

Sipping more of my water, I looked at the charts I had made. Nazilla had strong genes for certain. She was Seitou's bodyguard, after all. If she was weak she would have never been given that position. But who to pair her with?

"No! No! No!" Elfangor shouted at two of his trainees.

In short order RachelBerenson and JakeBerenson were tangled up in each other. Rachel had seemed to be winning at first, which was impressive. She was the smaller of the two but, I guess, her berserker courage helped her face larger opponents.

I was watching a short distance away, sipping at some Amaranth Tea. It was a favorite of Jademoon's and he had allowed me to have some. I don't like tea but it was cold outside and the tea helped me to stay warm.

"You can go now." I told the Fae.

It was a stormy night tonight, loud thunder and heavy rains. Unlike a good majority of the clan, I had a hut to help keep dry. All department heads tended to have their own hut while the others stayed outside. I didn't go into my hut when I could avoid it as I enjoyed being one with nature.

I had performed a spell so little flames of light floated around the hut, giving me the ability to read my scrolls. The scrolls that helped me plan breeding projects.

The weather had been getting chilly as of late and I was very glad that my cape was here to protect me from the cold. I turned to look at Metis who was growing her winter coat. Right now she seemed to be a black cloud and I knew that it was only a matter of time before her shape would seem to disappear amongst her fur.

"Who are the next three breeding pairs?" Metis asked, turning to look at me.
