The next day, they started packing..
'They' of course,means Xarius started packing. He rolled all the fur into a big roll, tied them with a vine.
He can carry it in his mouth in his beast form while carrying her on his back.
Looking at xarius, mytha didn't know if she can just transform and carry him to the place easily. But seeing him so busy in preparing,
She just shrug her shoulders, its fine, let the puppy do his things.
Besides.., shes really not interested or thinking of showing him her real form.. Not now at least.
"Alright, i packed.. " xarius, look at her happily. The cave was huge, even when he transformed to a silver wolf so humongous it didn't feel like the cave became small.
He pick the fur wrapped in vines with his mouth.
It was the only thing that he took, the other things he can just make from carving woods like some wooden bowl.
He walk to her, kneeling on four legs, allowing her to stradle his back.
She rode his back, hands on his thick fur, he jump out of the cave. Landing on the ground with a thump, as he rode through the crowd,
Moving like water amongst the crowd, he is fast, and she likes the feeling of wind on her body.
It also felt like flying,
Xarius is confident in his strength, there are very few 5th mark beastman in the lands,
Unless it was a strays or anything, he is confident he can fight them, thats why he dared to go out alone with her.
They stopped to rest for every afternoon or night,
It was 2 weeks later when they stopped on the edge of a clearing, on the side was a clear blue river.
She heave a sigh of relief. She immediately walk to the river, xarius called behind her.
"Im gonna build a fire.. And go hunt" he hesitated for a moment.. Shes a female.. Can she.. Even be alone?..
Somehow he regrets not asking help from another beastman. But it also means, he is giving permission to the other to court her.. He couldn't take that.
Seeing mytha lazily swinging her legs on the water and wave her hand, Xarius stilled his heart.
He wont hunt far, he will come as soon as she scream.
He smells the wind, there was no enemy.. Thats good, just to be sure, be peed on the surrounding. Marking his scent, atleast his scent of 5 mark would drive away other beasts.
Looking at her one more time, he ran to the forest.
Mytha kept on humming, her tail too, moved to the river, swinging her legs back and forth.
She closes her eyes..
Humming softly..
The warm sunlight on her skin, was suddenly covered by a shadow.. Then drips of water fell in her, as if there was a sudden rain..
She opens her eyes.
And her golden eyes, met with green ones. The huge snake, loom over her, watching her so intently. It was a 3rd mark beast, closer to 4 mark.
She stared back calmly,
This snake had been watching since they came here., it seem to have some kind of special power, than even xarius didn't detect it,..
She detected it,. It was on the river since the beginning.
The snake didn't dare to come out, since it felt xarius aura.. But her? A female alone?...
The snake beastman was in awe,
Such a beautiful female.. And the way her calm gaze met his.. They said females are scared of snakes.. Are they? But she didn't seem to be scared one bit..
Mytha tilted her head.,
It interests her.
Looking at the creature infront of her, one old friend, a dragon, once said, if mated, do it with someone more closer to dragons.
Like reptiles and snakes, in this way, the chance of a full pledged dragon being born would increase..
She squinted her eyes at the snakes form.. Smiling.. That old friend of hers was right..
She raise on hand, smiling softly at the green giant snake.
The snake hissed,.. Looking at her eyes as if it has been mesmerized, then it leaned closer,
Puting its huge head against her hands..
She smiles.
Plaaakkkk
The sound of flesh exploding, in a blink of an eye, the snake became headless. Its head exploded to pieces, blood covered her body,
She watch with a soft smile as the snakes body began to drown again, making the river red.
She licked the blood on the corner of her lips..
Then she walk to the river, letting the river swallow her figure.

When xarius came back holding a huge colorful bird,
Mytha was already done bathing, the river was clean, there was no drop of blood even to the grasses around, as if nothing happened.
Xarius heaved a sigh of relief.
Mytha had started the fire, Xarius thought maybe she knows how to make fire, most females rather have males do that to them.
She smiles at him.
"Youre a bit late"
"Im sorry i have to go further away, there was no prey.. " xarius was really edgy, overthinking of her safety.
Atleast he manage to catch a prey and shes still safe. Its a huge relief.
He cleaned the bird., collected all the feathers, most females like them, and gave it to her and went back to cooking.
Mytha only glanced at the feathers, raising a brow, this pup is funny. Her scales are more beautiful than these, but still.. She curved her lips.
Keeping the feathers neatly. Smiling in a good mood.

Travel, rest, travel sleep, and travel again. The following days are all repetitive. Mytha still found these Beastmans stamina amazing. Well.. He can kill her in bed why cant he have this stamina in running?
Hayst,
He howled suddenly.
"Were close.. "
And run faster, finally, at the time before lunch even comes., the huge volcano came to her view.
Then xarius ran faster, when they finally reach the base of the volcano, mytha looked up,..
It really is huge..
She smiles.. It was like a goodluck, as she had also felt life in her belly..
Finally.. Shes finally going to have her lineage.. Her kind.
There was no beasts that dares to live on the base of the mountain for many reasons, they were scared when the volcano may erupt.
It was too risky, but making a base was the best way for them.
So Xarius started making them too. He dug a cave, a bit elevated from the ground.
Then before the day ends, he had already made a bed of fur for her, and even some wooden bowls and other basic necessities. Like tables and others.
Then they lay together on the fur, mytha , buried on the fur, opened her eyes and look at him..
Staring at him intently. As she chuckled.,
Shes finding this wolf more and more fun to keep.

Ps.
Mytha is a dragon, she has pride deep in her bones, so if you found her attitude not to your liking,
Just think..
She is a dragon.
