How long he stood kissing her, he didn’t know. She didn’t push him away, and she didn’t stand there and accept it either. Instead, she deepened the kiss, pressing closer, and Korial found himself lost in her touch and taste. When they parted, Alexstrasza was watching him, a small smile playing on her lips. Korial watched her back, his body feeling strange to him. Korial finally let go of his sword and it landed on the ground with a dull thump.
“How can you love me still?” Korial asked. “Especially when I’ve been working to annihilate your kind?”
Alexstrasza smiled and kissed him again. “Because I never stopped loving you. There is nothing in the world that can make me stop loving you, Korial.”
She leaned her forehead against his, whispering for him to close his eyes. For a minute, Korial struggled with himself, but then eventually obeyed her. She said nothing more, instead guiding him with feeling alone. Alexstrasza’s flesh slowly changed from pale white to red scale, and Korial felt something within him resonate with the change. All his dreams came rushing to the forefront, all of the vaguely remembered memories that didn’t belong to him became incredibly vivid. He saw himself not as he was now, but as he was long, long ago, embracing this dragon before him, almost as he was embracing her now.
When Korial opened his eyes, Alexstrasza was staring down at him, her scaly nose close to his. His hands were still on her chin, his fingers splayed against the armor-like scales there. He saw in her eyes complete and total understanding, even though he himself still couldn’t comprehend what had just happened in his mind’s eye. Korial knew that in another time he was the red dragon Korialstrasz, the mate of the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, but he didn’t know how he knew that. He didn’t know how he had ended up with the memories of another life, of another person entirely, but he had. But it didn’t matter to Alexstrasza, because he was with her once again. Shape didn’t matter; that he was human didn’t matter; all that mattered was that he was with her once more.
Korial once more found himself standing before the crossroads of a matter of heart. He could take that step back and grab his sword, kill her now that she had become her true shape. She would forgive him for it, because that’s what he did, what he had come for. Korial knew she wouldn’t fight back against him if he chose to take that path, and she would allow him to live with the knowledge that he had killed a willing victim. The other path wasn’t as clear, or as black and white, as the first. The other path would have him abandon his old life and build a new one with Alexstrasza. It would come as a shock to those who knew him, were they to meet again.
Korial bent his head and pressed his lips to Alexstrasza’s snout.
Her scales were smooth under his lips, warm. They felt almost unreal.
When he lifted his head away, she changed from dragon to woman so swiftly Korial didn’t even realize it was happening. Alexstrasza embraced him again, pulling him tight and close in an embrace that at once was motherly and that of a lover. Korial buried his face against the soft flesh of her neck and returned the embrace, holding tight to her. It was all he could do in that moment.
It was all he could do because that mixed-feeling embrace broke whatever self-made dam he had created around his feelings from the past. All the pain, sorrow, regret, hatred, anger, and countless other feelings surged from the black place in his heart and soul to the surface and poured out of him in hot tears. Alexstrasza crooned softly to him and stroked his hair, swaying gently back and forth. She comforted him as he let go of the poison that had filled his soul for years, as he accepted what he had railed against for years.
When he quieted, Alexstrasza let him go and before he could rub his eyes dry, she did it for him, sliding her thumbs beneath his eyes and across his cheeks to erase the signs of tears. Then her lips touched his skin, kissing away traces of salt. Alexstrasza’s lips traveled from his cheeks to his lips, kissing him in a chaste way that offered nothing and wanted nothing.
His kiss in return offered her everything and wanted more.
For the first time in a long time, the Red Dragonshrine filled with the sounds of life, of voices lost in the joys of ecstasy and happiness, of young and old and lives lost and lives found coming together once more, of two joining to become one for however long their bodies could stand it. The sounds continued on even as the sun began to sink, drawing the brilliant colors of the Dragonshrine into darker, muted versions of themselves.
Korial moved away from Alexstrasza long enough to build a fire to give them light and warmth, then returned to her embrace. She tucked her head under his chin and rested her ear against his chest, listening to his heartbeat calming. The fire, Korial realized, was just a formality for him, for his humanness. Alexstrasza was keeping him warm, her body heated not just by their lovemaking, but by her true form as well. As a dragon, as a being of fire, Korial doubted she got cold easily. Also, she could see far better in the darkness than he could, and though he knew that no one and nothing would attack them here, the fire was a physical manifestation of his desire to feel safe.
Alexstrasza hugged him tightly. “I love you, Korial.”
The way she said it allowed him to know that the words, the feelings, the touches, were only meant for him.
Korial hugged Alexstrasza tightly and kissed the top of her fiery head. “I love you, Alexstrasza.”
Those words seemed to wash away the last vestiges of his rage, hate, guilt, sadness, everything that had made up who Korial had been. His past, all the things that had happened there, was slowly becoming a soft memory. His future, all the things that would happen, all the things that would shape him in the coming years, lay before him in the fog of all things unknown.
“I won’t let you go again.” Alexstrasza whispered. There was a promise in her words this time, a promise that Korial knew she would keep even if he wanted her not to.
“I know.” Korial replied, and he knew she had heard the promise in his voice this time because she relaxed against him. He knew the exact moment she fell asleep in his arms, and Korial turned his gaze to the sky, where he could see a million stars twinkling in the dark.
Starting tomorrow they would start a lifetime together. It would be a final lifetime for the both of them. But Korial knew they would find each other again, in another shape, in another form, and would be together once more. They would live that lifetime, and the lifetime after that, and the one after that, for as long as the stars twinkled in the sky. Because the eternal love that Korialstrasz had for Alexstrasza, and the eternal love Alexstrasza had for Korialstrasz, would always bring them together.
No matter what life they lived before.
