Chapter 3

While you were both half-sleeping, the surrounding weather changes drastically. Cloudy weather is fast changing for dark skies that promise extreme conditions. Heet changes for cold and first distant thunder bring you both out of your cozy state.

You note the weather changes first after you sit on Cynder's chest and feel cold instead of heat. On the other hand, Cynder was totally unbothered by these weather developments. That was understandable, there were not many things that could harm a mature dragon, let alone some extreme weather was obviously not in that list.

She catches up with your situation fast, seeing what you were looking at the sides nervously and slightly shaking from abrupt temperature changes that were not so obvious when the human lay on her chest.

You both don't even have time to speak, and then a torrent of rain starts falling. Rain was a bit cold and the winds started to pick up their pace. After just a few seconds, a big lightning struck in the mountains afar. That was some spectacular view, but it was as deadly as awe-striking.

You start to feel warmth fleeing your body very fast, and you must think something about right now if you don't want to succumb because of hypothermia. You start to be nervous and don't know what you can do because you were in very lite clothing, and you can't even imagine that this heat can change to cold so fast.

Cynder softly spoke in your head: "I'm sorry about that... I feel this heavy thunderstorm approaching fast long ago, but I do not take into account what you were with me all this time. You could prepare for this in advance and make some makeshift shelter in the forest, but because I am asking you to stay with me for some time, I endanger your life like that...".

You did not blame Cynder for anything. After all, everyone knows what s**t happens from time to time. You mentally spoke to her: "D-dont b-blame yourself p-please, I too s-see t-this cloud b-but I c-chose to d-dress in l-l-light c-clothes a-anyway. I will f-figure out s-somphing...".

Your words were not reassuring for Cynder, and she can see well that you start to lose body warmth too fast and obviously don't know what to do in this situation. Then she thought about only one thing she could suggest to her new human friend right here and now.

Dragons are very advanced creatures not only in magic but also in their physical bodies. They can control any process in their body if they need to, and it doesn't take much concentration from them, it's just like a bunch of switches that can be turned on and off by their own will.

Cynder asks you in your head: "I'm sorry again, but I can clearly see if something is not being done right now and here you could just lose your life, and it will be especially sad because of my mistake... Now please tell me: will you..can you trust me enough to trust me your life?".

You look at Cynder puzzled, but anyway, you know well enough that she was totally right and something must be done about your situation ASAP and you were not already able to save yourself, you can feel that your body's warmth also drains your life itself and this process is fast. Then you replied to her: "I-I can't s-s-say I-I f-fully trust you..s-s-sorry..I j-just w-want to b-be honest with y-you..b-but..I-I have n-not m-much o-of a c-c-choice a-am I? A-any w-way I r-ready t-to g-g-give you m-my l-life".

Cynder sees your sorry state and wants to be as brief as she can. She spoke to you: "This may be a very unpleasant and scary experience for you, but there is no other way right now. I assure you in advance that I can and WILL fully control my body and all its processes, and you will not be harmed. It's the wow of a dragon. You probably already guess what I want to propose to you do you?".

She guessed this right, you do understand what immediate thing she can offer you to "save" you... You just met her, she is very sweet and caring, but what if this is all just a sinister play to satisfy her twisted desires? And you have no other choice and if this was a trap all along, it is too late to try and flee from it... You reply to her: "You want to swallow me, right? And you can control your stomach not to digest me, you say?". She answered: "Yes, this is correct, that is all I can offer to you right now. I'm terribly sorry. We dragons do not need food we feed on magic energies, but we can eat organic matter, then we need to get a lot of energy very fast, and it is an extreme situation. I again assure you that I will never harm you and you, for real, will be safe inside of me. I will release you in an instant than outside conditions will pose no threat to you and, again, it is my wow of a dragon to you, so please believe me".

You don't have other choices, and she sounds reassuring enough to let you feel more at ease, but you also feel that if something is not be done now, you will not feel anything at all soon enough. You say to her in your mind: "O-ok I-I b-b-believe y-you a-a-and I-I'm r-r-ready". She replied: "Do not worry, all will be fine. I fine tune my stomach temperature for you to warm you up, and you feel comfortable there. Also, I haven't eaten organic matter for years now, and you will not feel any foul smell. I will try my best to make your stay as comfortable for you as I can. And..sorry again for all this situation rise like that...".

And so she opens her mouth wide for you. You can see that her mouth is big enough for you to fit in there without much effort. Probably it will be a tight gulp, and you also have big doubts that your body will easily slip through her neck bracelet. She anticipated your concerns and softly spoke in your head: "Don't worry about my throat and bracelet. My throat can easily stretch big enough and I also can fully control it. My bracelet is made from a magic-infused metal alloy that will stretch with my throat. So do not worry about you stack in my throat. This will not happen, I guarantee that".

Your consciousness already started to slip from your mental grasp, and you were not in power to make any response except for a weak nod. Mastering your latest strengths, you climb in her mouth. Her breath was warm and had no smell at all, all that you felt was warm steam, which makes you feel much better and causes your body to tingle. She softly spoke to you mentally: "Don't be afraid, all will be fine". With these words she slowly starts to tilt her head up and you start to feel: your own weight start to pull you towards her throat entrance. < TO BE CONTINUED
