MY HEAD SWAM, BLOOD blurred my vision. Fighting a full bodied Dragonborn was not on my agenda for the fucking day, that was for sure. Neither had been killing my toy, Collette, but that cunt Aella got me so riled up. Uggh, now what was I gonna do? I was sure Sig was on his way, if not somewhere near by now. That was good. I needed him to see her before he died. I wanted complete orphanage. Mother, well she’d kill herself before long, and I couldn’t have father showing up. No extra Dragons to take the blame. Aella had the acid that they would believe did so much damage. The poison would have her so far gone after seeing him die that she’d not know if it was her or not. Oh, I knew I was a despicable rat. I didn’t really care. I would get my High Seat on the Senate. Since my father was murdered by that horrible little Dragonborn, it would fall to me. I just needed to leave and all would be in place.
I lifted from the rubble of the Science building, seeing Aella lying in this massive crater, half turned. Her body was a mangled mess, upper torso, her sexy Human, her lower body still mostly Dragon, her wings were broken, torn and tattered. The thing looked more like a Naga than a Dragonborn. I almost felt sorry for her. Almost. She did try to kill me, after all. Who knew she’d manage to break her curse. I wondered what it was that aligned her heart and mind? Or whatever it was she had to do. No matter, I was about to get what I came for.
I walked over to her unconscious body and stared at her back, the rings were in place, but some had been torn out when she unfurled her wings. That must have hurt something fierce. I reached down, feeling for the magic of her weapon. Then there it was, the zing. I had something in my hand! They really were hiding them under the skin.
I grasped the handle and putting my right foot against her shoulder, I began to pull.
She moaned, opening her eyes, which burned a smoldering orange. The moan became a scream as she flapped her broken wings, dragging them inward, the razor ends catching me by the arm.
I jumped backward, getting sliced pretty good. “You super cunt!” I shouted, grasping at the wound.
She fell to the ground, silent again. The bitch’s body didn’t wanna give it up, but she was out cold. Damn it, I was gonna have to cloak and take her. I knew a guy that could get it out if I needed it done messy. Apparently I did. I cloaked, lifting Aella. Boy, did this bitch need a diet.

WE WERE JUST CLEAR of the Chapel spires when I heard the hawk screeching. Ahead of us was the largest ball of bird on fire I had ever seen and on its fucking back, riding it like a God Damned King, was fucking Keegan Teague!
“You have got to be kidding me!” I shouted, flapping back, realizing they were coming straight for me. I nosedived for the ground, accidentally dropping Aella on the hood of some car, a windshield broke her fall. Oops. I took off back toward the college, I needed to fucking lay low.
