May walked in as she had finished the exam, so we ended our conversation. Liz was ready to sell her soul to my people if it gave her a chance to have magic and insured she wouldn't ever be sold off. It's a weird thought to know she was will you go so far but it was so she could choose. It was a choice I'm sure May would of taken if she had gotten the chance but most women don't get to choose and just have to do as they r told. Which is why May is Marrying Sam.

The head ladies of my tribe and Mays tribe are lucky they have both lost there children but there husbands loved them enough to not divorce them since they never had another one. It's not common but I've heard that my aunt is going to be replaced it's all rumors but the leader wants a child to be able to take his place when he dies and she isn't able to give him one which means she will either run to my her sisters tribe for protection and a title or be sent to be a brothel to work. There isn't much option for women. In the end there is only two purposes that we serve. To marry to help your family and to have children to solidify your families power. It's preferred to have at least one male in order to keep your hold of power and so there is more than one option as women can't take over for secession but they can marry someone who will then take the place as a leader.

It's different for dragons it's not always about lineage when it comes to taking over a clan it's about strength, leadership, and respect. Women are able to lead a clan and women are seen as more of equals, as they hunt and fight just as men do. It makes it so we don't only have two purposes, and both males and females can be used to bring an alliance between clans and women aren't open removed for not being able to have a child the man might sleep with another for a child but the women can do the same as it's not always her fault that a child isn't produced since males can be infertile as well. Also the wedding ceremony for a dragon is much shorter and less complicated. It's one day and then 3-4 days away from the clan to help the the newly weds become closer, our ceremony allows more intimacy then the hybrids and humans. Its a good trait that dragons have.

May seemed down when she came back which I could understand. She's being treated the same as an animal that is being sold off, with people picking at her and trying to see her traits. It's uncomfortable for Liz and I and we aren't even the ones going through it so I know it has to be worse for her. For her tonight will also be her last night with her family and she already had to of said goodbye to basically everyone she knew and could be close with. Today everything would change for her and she would be leaving for a new home the next day. She would also have to have sex in front of people to prove they were truly married. Which that will be another time to dread. All she has now is dread and fear of leaving everything she knows and going to a new place with a man she doesn't know. She has no clue how he will treat her and she hasn't even ever seen him before, Sam isn't unattractive but she doesn't know that she knows it's a half son so he isn't next in line and she has seen Corey but just because Corey is attractive doesn't mean his brother would be and I mean it's the same with full blooded siblings just because one is attractive doesn't mean the other will be. Her life is going to change and all she has to rely on is a hope that Liz, Corey, Sam, and I will be able to help her but she doesn't have a guarantee that we will actually help her adjust. Honestly after we return Liz and Corey will likely disappear as be with me for months. She won't have very long for us to try and help her so she will have to rely on Sam and her own abilities. Honestly we don't know how Sam will react or how he will end up seeing her as his wife. We can only hope for the best for her but at the end of the day we have already done almost everything. Sam will only be able to do so much for her though, no matter what he doesn't have much control over the people.

Soon she would need to get ready to leave back to her camp where we are having the wedding. The women from her tribe are setting everything up and cooking food while the men are helping set up things for the wedding. Today is going to be a busy day for everyone and a stressful day for a lot of people.

Between her mother and father knowing they might not see her again and that they can't protect her anymore or know what will actually end up happening to her. Sam I'm sure will be stressed as he doesn't know May and feels like he's being sold as well. I'm sure the leaders are stressed as well because if something goes wrong it could cause a war potentially. This wedding is a way of making peace between the tribes and works as a good alliance so if it doesn't work out it could cause problems but nobody's knows what is going to happen.
