Shouts from men, screaming from women, crying from children and infants. These were the people that threw Atara out to die by dragon fire; little did they know, she would come back leading an army of dragons and order the town be burned to the ground, no survivors.

Atara's lover, her counterpart whom she found not long after being taken in by the dragons as their queen, followed alongside her, helping command armies of dragons and rule the kingdom. His name was Corbin Gatlin, and he used to be a prince of a human kingdom. He was only trying to save one of their fellow dragons, Koa, a powerful warrior dragon, when he got stabbed from behind by a nearby townsfolk.

The Queen watched the attack, her own foe had crippled her to the ground, but she was able to kill the fool. 

The fire only embraced them, causing Corbin's assaulter to run in fear.

Atara crawled to her counterpart, her clothing collecting his freshly spilled blood that he lay in. She sat up enough to prop his upper body on her painfully numb legs.

He hacked up blood, sounding as if he would drown in it. "Atara..."

"Shhhhh, shh shh, you'll be okay, I can heal you," Atara said in a rushed voice, trying to stay calm. Her hands moved to cover his wound.

He strived to push her hands away. "No," he groaned, "you're not strong enough yet."

"I have to try; I can't lose you, too." Her right hand came up over his cheek, staring into his emerald-colored eyes. Her own eyes were tearing up at the sight of him; his skin was going pale, deep black hair matted a bit and partially soaked in blood, his body tense and chest heaving.

"You won't- won't lose me, remember, we always... reincarnate so we have each- each other." Corbin gave his lover a small smile, blood pressed between his lips as he stared up at her.

"Together entwined until death by age," she repeated their dynasty saying, letting a smile play at her lips.

"Together entwined un- until death by age." He sucked in a breath, his face scrunching up in pain.

Atara placed a soft kiss on the corner of his lips and leaned her forehead against his. "Please, come back soon."

This is from a fanfic I am writing as practice. Atara and Corbin are OCs of mine that I created maybe a year ago? Or maybe it was 6 months ago? I'm not sure.

Atara's original name was Aideen, but I decided to change it, it is possible I may go back to Aideen, but that's unlikely.

Corbin was originally secretly a dragon, but I decided that didn't fit his character, so I changed it to be a prince of a human kingdom.

I hope you enjoy this because I sure am.
