Chapter 3
Standin’ before me was a being that I have never seen before. Her body looked very similar to Ishtar’s main form, which resembled a muds, only with claws instead of nails on the tips of her fingers. She had a 2 foot long tail, which looked very flexible. Her head resembled a sligs, only she had only 3 face tentacles and three fins on her head, one on each side jus’ behind the eyes and one on the top of her head. Her skin was light blue and her eyes were lavender.
She was…beautiful and I felt strange jus’ lookin’ at her. I can’t really describe it…I jus’ know that my heart is goin’ a mile a minute and I feel a bit light headed.
“Do you like what you are looking at?” she said suddenly, soundin’ a bit annoyed.
“Uh…” I muttered as I snapped myself back ter my senses, “I…I’m sorry…I jus’ never seen such a beautiful…I mean never seen someone like yer before.” I blushed slightly and hoped she didn’t notice.
“How cute…” she purred. She noticed…dam. “a big strong guy like you getting all weak kneed at the mere sight of a pretty face.” She walked up ter me then and dragged the claws of one hand lightly across my chest. I gasped and shuddered uncontrollably at the sensation I felt; no one had ever touched me like that before.
“Ooo you liked that didn’t you?” she cooed.
I could only nod in response.
“Well…” she said with a smile, “I’d love to stay and chat with you a bit….but I got places to go and people to see..” She turned and started ter walk away then and I felt a sense of panic. I…I jus’ couldn’t jus’ let her walk away….
“Wait!” I cried as I ran up beside her, “Where are yer goin’? Maybe I could escort yer there.”
“How noble…but I can take care of myself. Besides, I don’t even know you.” She said coolly, still walkin’.
“Spider…my name’s Spider.” I quickly said, “Can yer at least tell me yer name…and if I will see yer again?”
She stopped suddenly and turned toward me, a smile on her face.
“Neph is my name.” She said, “And will you be around this area tomorrow night?”
“Uh…” I thought a moment, “Ya I have patrol tomorrow at this time, I’ll be here.”
“Good…I’ll see you tomorrow then.” She smiled again and ran off, disappearin’ into the night. I jus’ stood there fer a few minutes, takin’ in what jus’ happened. Then a let out a short joy filled howl and pranced ‘bout the best I could in my pants. Never before I have felt so happy and excited. I have jus’ meet a girl, the prettiest thing I have ever seen, and she was willin’ ter see me again….
Later that night, after I finished my shift, I dreamt of her. I felt so happy in it and I remember Drag tellin’ me that with dragons, dreams have a meanin’. But I was so focused on ‘her’ in the dream…that I didn’ see the storm on the horizon….
