Talyn. Talyn Eldaron. Just the sound of his name makes me shiver. He started out as the pet of Velasca, my self-proclaimed sister of the clan. She disappeared and I took him in with no intentions other than I've always had for my other "toys", but life never goes as you expect. He quickly learned of my shadow powers and how I loved using them to play with his mind. One night we were at his mansion and I, being the playful spirit that I am, decided to mess with his mind just a bit. But like any type of deception, it backfired on me and we ended up sharing a most memorable evening together at his home. The next night, we traveled to my home where we've stayed ever since.

     I wasn't really sure if there would be problems between the two of us since we were both diverse species which meant diverse needs -- mine being vampire and his being dragon. He hungered for flesh -- cattle and animals and an occasional human. Heh, he definately had a deep hunger for flesh. I say this from personal experience. I hungered for the sanguine fluids sustaining life in a most precarious balance, and I later learned that our needs would only bring us closer than ever expected. The fact that I was vampire didn't bother him in the least for he deeply enjoyed the pleasures that awaited him when I would turn him into a midnight snack. Of course, he loved making a snack out of me as well. I, on the other hand, found the pleasures so deep that I'm barely awake afterwards...and he loves that so much of me.

     After about a year of intimate moments, near-death experiences, trials of our love and devotion, one event brought us closer than we could ever have imagined. He was out hunting food one night. I suppose my making him steaks and such just didn't tickle his fancy since dragons are creatures of the hunt. Anyway, I was simply sitting on my couch anxiously awaiting his arrival when I heard something from my upstairs bedroom. Being the curious little vampire I am, I ventured upstairs and heard the rummaging of my jewelery. Nothing pisses me off more than someone putting their hands on my baubles. I surprised him in the middle of his crime spree and the little ignorant fool shot me. He shot at me, I believe, six times. Heh, needless to say he was even more surprised when I didn't fall over and die. I captured him down in my basement and chained him up like a wild animal.

     When my sweetheart came home, I was sitting on the couch quite shaken up. I tried to play it off like nothing was wrong, but he had this mind-reading ability and well, it didn't work out too well. Refusing to tell him anything, I retreated to the kitchen, and I suppose while I went into the kitchen he walked upstairs. As he told it to me, there was the smell of gunpowder in the air. Once he walked upstairs where the scent was the strongest, he noticed the bullet holes in the hallway walls. He then made his way downstairs into the living room where I was already sitting.

     I finally broke down and told him what happened and where the little maggot was being held. He stormed down the basement stairs and demanded that I open the cell door for him. Upon the air, though, he caught a familiar scent from the one inside the cage. Come to find out he was Talyn's nephew. I definitely wasn't going to let Talyn harm him after hearing that news. I calmed Talyn and talked some sense into him. I then freed his nephew, and we retreated upstairs where we went to the living room.

     I was dressed in my best and sat down upon the couch. He suddenly knelt before me and proposed marriage. This sweet, loving, wonderful creature wanted to marry me. I was speechless, except for the fact that I then pulled out a ring of my own I had bought for him and proposed the same. We each adorn rings promising ourselves to each other. I now await my wedding day with much fervor. He will make the most perfect and appreciated of husbands..and I will make the most loving and delectable of wives.

     During our wait for the wedding day, a miraculous event occured one evening. I woke early one evening, which isn't really that odd since I'm always awake before he. Pains started in my stomach and traveled to my chest. In my human form, I crawled out of the bed and onto the floor. Shockingly, my body began to transform without my consent. Soon, I was lying on the bedroom floor adorning my draconic form. I drug myself into the closet not wanting to wake my love, although I should have considering what a wonderful moment was about to occur. Finding a soft pile of pillows in the corner, I rested myself upon them. The pains traveled from my chest back down my body until I felt a large bulge moving towards the end of my tail. A few painful cramps and the next thing you know, I had laid an egg. A dragon egg. Right behind the first one was a second one and the mysterious ordeal was over.

     After taking a much needed breath and small rest, I trotted into the bedroom to awaken Talyn to show him what had transpired. I decided to lay on his stomach until he would awaken on his own and soon enough, he did. I danced around excitedly and lead him into the closet. He followed curiously, changing into his dragon form on the way. When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he seen the two freshly laid eggs on the pile of clothes in the corner, he was stunned. I sat there silently awaiting his reaction. And it was a good one. He licked me and nuzzled me and held me beneath his wing. I knew then he would be the man with whomI would be spending my life. We made them a bed from a basket and placed them in front of the fireplace. Climbing into our own bed, we then rested ourselves, falling asleep in each other's arms now labeled as parents.

     Oh, but that was months ago. The eggs have hatched now. We have a little boy and a little girl--Krystopher and Quinn. I still await our wedding day with much excitment, but with two new hatclings to watch over, I dare say that it will be a challenge for the wedding to be as joyful as the day they hatched for on that very day, Talyn and myself officially became parents and became eternally bonded by those two precious angels. They are a product of our love and a testament of just how deep our love really is. It's a miracle they were even created at all for I always thought I was unable to have children. I know now the old adage, "What's meant to be will find a way" definitely holds a strong truth.
