Welcome New Citizens!

"Uhhhh… *Squish*"

Where am I?

I tired to move, but it was dark and I found myself be held against something that was squishy in places and rather firm in others.

Okay, I need to remember how I got here… Hmmm so yesterday, me and Terre had led our new Fox friends back to the City…

---

The day before.

"Okayyy! Here we are, isn't it amazing?!" I shout proudly as we approach the city walls.

"Wow, it really is" Ignis said in reply to my announcement.

On the way home I had gotten to know a few of the Foxes. The leader is called Ignis, she is the daughter of the now assumed deceased previous chief. They had managed to escape with the ones not capable of fighting while her Father and the hunters bought them time.

It was a rather sad story and Ignis broke down a bit when she was telling me about it, though I managed to cheer her up a bit. Of course, I did this by talking about the fights I have had up till now. Ignis seemed to be interested in becoming stronger so that made me quite excited to have another potential sparring partner.

I also learnt that their race was called Fire Fox. It is easy to tell how powerful a Fire Fox is as well. As when they evolve and get stronger, the number of tails they have increases. For example, the strongest in their skulk was her father, who had four tails. Now, the strongest was the Foxes with three tails and there were a few of them, including Ignis and her mother.

Anyway, once we got through the city gates we began to discuss where they would all stay for the night. Tonight they would stay somewhere temporarily, and the next day we will try and find somewhere they could live more permanently.

"Hmmm I think for tonight, everyone would feel more comfortable all sleeping together. So, if there is anywhere you can recommend that has a big room for all of us to sleep in together, that would be great." Said Ignis' mother.

Ignis' mother was very strong. Although she had just lost Ignis' father, she did not let the grief show on the surface at all. I think Terre helped keep her mind off things as well. While we were walking home, they had some rather lively conversations about me and Ignis. I could not hear the details, but they at least sounded like they had fun.

When it came to finding a temporary home for them, Terre and I had a think. Then Terre suggested they sleep in the large entrance way in the castle that Mother and I used to sleep in.

Since the ants had cleared the castle up a little bit and I now had a human form, we had finally been able to convert some of the rooms into bedrooms for me, Mother and Terre to sleep in. So we do not sleep in the entrance hall anymore.

Mother objected at first when I said I wanted my own room, but eventually I managed to convince her… As long as I came and slept with her three times a week.

It wasn't too bad though, Mothers body heat is super warm and comfortable. Plus, she gives me strokes which often feel so good that I find myself falling asleep rather quickly. However, although it was nice, I needed to try to be as independent as possible. I am not a child after all… well sort of.

After we had shown the Foxes to the castle, we left them to get settled in the entrance hall. I see Ignis and her mother cuddle up together for comfort after the emotional few days they have had.

I wonder where my mother is right now… b-but it's not like I miss her after only a day or anything! I am a strong, independent Dragon, I can survive a few weeks without my Mother!

While having an inner conflict with myself, I say my goodnights to Terre and enter my room.

My room was furnished by things my Mother brought back from a human village that she had been frequenting. She had bought other things from there before, such as my clothes and weapons/armour for Terre.

In my room I had a bed and a dresser with a mirror. Not a lot, but I do not spend much time in here, so it did not really matter.

There was also a en suite bathroom for each of the bedrooms in this wing of the castle. Surprisingly, there was an ancient pipe system, that led to and from the mountain that the castle was built against, that supplied water to the bathrooms. The civilisation who lived here before were rather advanced in some ways.

There is a communal garden for all the bedrooms on in this wing as well that you could only get to by going to through the bedroom. It was not much of a garden at the moment however, as everything was dead inside it. But it must have been beautiful when it was full of life. All in all it was very luxurious.

After once again being amazed at the sophistication of this castle, I stripped off my clothes and I decided to call it a night.

---

Hmmm that is the last of what I remember from last night. Looks like I will have to just push my way out of where I am.

With my decision made, I slip my hands between myself and what I was being held against. I then put my hands on the squishy things that I am being held against and push myself away.

"Nyaaah!" I hear a shout when I start pushing.

This was no time to think about the noises though, I just needed to get out. So I kept pushing and trying to wriggle myself free.

"Nuhhh… ahnnnn!"

The noises kept coming, yet they sounded strangely erotic… No matter I am almost free!

I notice that what is holding me in place is loosening the more I struggle, so I give one last push.

"Hyaahh!"

I finally break free from the what was hold me and I sit up… Only to find what was holding me… and who I am now straddling… Is Terre… A naked Terre.

Wait… so the squishy things that I was pressed up against was her bre...

I look down at the flushed face Terre who was staring up at me with moistened eyes.

"T-Terre I-I am really s-sorry!" I say pleading for forgiveness, and I feel my face go red from embarrassment.

"Fufufu that was… indeed quite mean Lady Alicia" Says Terre, who is heavy breathing.

My face goes redder yet as I look down and notice that we are both completely naked. If someone saw this, two naked people with one straddling the other, it would be very easy to misunderstand…

*Knock knock*

Suddenly someone knocks on the door and opens it without waiting for an answer.

"W-wait no! don't open…"

But its too late, they have already started to open the door and…

"Miss Terre. Have you seen Lady Alicia? I looked in her room and…" Ignis comes through the door.

"…"

"…"

"…"

All three of us stay staring at each other for a moment.

"I-I am sorry! I shall come back later when you are done!" Ignis clearly embarrassed by what she has seen, darts back out of the door.

"No wait t-this is a misunderstanding! Waiiiit Aargh…" I try to get off of Terre and the bed, but my leg gets caught and I face plant the floor.

"… Damn it..."

And that is how my morning went.

---

Once I had recomposed myself and both me and Terre had gotten some clothes on, I asked her how I ended up in her room.

"Well my Lady, you came through to my room in the middle of the night half asleep. You asked me if you could sleep with me tonight and of course I could not refuse such a request from such an adorable… From my Lady. So you climbed into bed with me and you asked me to cuddle you like your Mother does and so I complied." Terre explained.

"N-Nonsense I do not miss my Mother! She has only been away for a couple of days!" I shouted defiantly.

"Fufufu if you say so my Lady." Terre replies calmly, which only makes me more embarrassed.

…

After a while I calmed down and we left to go try to explain things to Ignis. After all we cannot have her misunderstanding things and spreading troublesome rumours.

We find Ignis in the entrance hall with her mother and the rest of her skulk. When she spotted us, she shyly turned her head away.

I asked to speak with her and take her aside to explain things.

…

"So that's what happened okay?! We were not doing anything weird okay?!"

I tell Ignis something about me accidently sleep walking into Terre's room and what she saw was just a big misunderstanding. I couldn't say the truth after all, that would just embarrass me more.

"Sure… I believe you so don't worry…" She says awkwardly.

I feel like she does not completely believe me, but I suppose we will have to leave it at that for now. Ignis tells me that she and the rest of the Foxes have something important to tell me. We head back to the entrance hall and I ask what it is they want to tell me.

…

"And so, we would formally like to swear our fealty to you, please allow us to become citizens of your Kingdom!" Ignis says on behalf of her skulk.

"Hehe how could I say no! Of course, I officially welcome you to my Mothers Kingdom!"

That day, I welcomed my new friends into mine and Mothers Kingdom.
