Chapter 56 - Dragon Meets Demon
"Kana! Close your legs and cover yourself! Someone else is here!" Lysairth tried to warn Kana, but she was too busy laughing and not paying attention to anything else.
"Little one, It is not very lady like to be exposing yourself like that." A melodic voice echoed through the cave.
Kana, who had been laughing, almost choked when she heard the voice. She looked over at the entrance of the cave at the handsome man that was beyond comparison, standing there with morning's first light peeking over the horizon behind him. Making him seem more like a deity than a mortal. Kana was instantly drawn to his good looks. She smiled brightly as she pointed at the man and spoke as if she was the queen of all: "I have decided! You will be my husband!"
The man stared blankly at the little girl in front of him for a few seconds before he burst out laughing. "Haha! Little girl, you got a long way to go before you get married. But first things first, put some clothes on."
"Clothes?" Kana finally looked down at herself and was almost stunned seeing the lightly tanned skin and little human like hands. Her fingers were a little longer than a normal human's fingers, but they were still hands nonetheless. Even her little feet looked like human feet, just longer toes. She swung her tail to her front to check it out, only to find that it was still the same looking tail as always. After which, she touched the two horns on her head before giving a firm nod. She then slowly curled her tail up between her legs, covering her private areas, and crossed her arms across her chest. She looked at the handsome man in front of her staring at him firmly, opened her mouth, and said: "Now that you have gazed at my beautiful body, you must marry me!" All the while, her face was turning redder by the second.
The man standing in front of her let out another laugh seeing how embarrassed she had suddenly become while trying to keep a cool facade as if she didn't care. "Alright, alright, kid, when you get older, I will marry you." The handsome man said without much thought. He then took off his shirt and tossed it to Kana. "Wear this."
Kana caught the shirt and quickly put it on without hesitation. Only then did she become herself again. Kana found it weird that she was not embarrassed at all walking around in her dragon form without a speck of clothing on but now that she had a human form, she felt embarrassed. "Ahem… Thank you… May I know my husband's name?" Kana asked as she tilted her head to the side.
The handsome man felt a headache coming on as he scratched his head and looked at Kana. "No idea why you are calling me your husband, but my name is Creige."
"Creige… Creige… Yes, very good! Now, my husband, I do not think I can get down from this cave, so if you could uh… help me…" Kana knew she was not going to be able to climb down the mountain by herself in this new form, so she had no choice but to ask her new husband to help her out.
Lysairth had many things she wanted to say at this time, but she decided to just let things roll. Even she found Creige to be very handsome. Since Kana decided to declare him hers, she found no issues with it. Not to mention she knew he was a demon which demons were very faithful to the ones they married. So if Kana were truly willing to take this man as a husband, he would be a perfect match! Plus, she wanted to see his… Well, we will not go into that. Let your minds wander.
Creige was not sure how to handle Kana. He had spoken to many women and acted in the same way as always, but this girl in front of him was just a little girl, and he would feel bad if he hurt a little girl, which is why he said he would be her husband when she grows up. But now, she was asking him to take her down to the ground. Slowing down his collecting of cold steel. He let out a sigh and walked over to Kana. "Alright, come on."
Creige picked Kana up and sat her on his arm. She was only about 122 centimeters tall. Kana smiled and hugged Creige's neck, causing him to stiffen a little before walking out of the cave. "My friends are below waiting for me."
"Kana, if you really truly wish to tie yourself to this man, you will need to prick your finger and then bite him. When blood comes out of the wound you made, mix your blood with his." Lysairth was worried that the handsome man would think of Kana as nothing more than a child, so the only way to tie the handsome man to Kana was for Kana to bind them together by actually doing a binding ceremony which was done at weddings. Then no matter where he went, Kana would be able to sense him, and he would be able to sense her. Lysairth would never tell the truth in why she was doing this, but she had a thing for handsome men! But she could tell he was not married as well since there was no maker on his finger. Those married through the binding would have a black ring with intricate designs show up on their ring fingers in the form of a tattoo. It symbolized the person being married.
"Oh? Okay!" Kana thought nothing of it, not realizing Lysairth was basically forcing a marriage by having Kana do this as she bit the tip of her finger. Creige, who was no more the wiser than Kana about these things, felt Kana bite his neck and then push her bloodied finger onto the wound.
A bright white magic circle formed under Creige's feet, covering the two in a white mist. A strange red line suddenly appeared where their hearts were and extended out of their bodies, growing longer and longer until finally connecting together. As soon as the red lines connected, both Creige and Kana could now feel each other's presence, and only then did Creige realize what had just happened. "Why did you!?"
"You are a really…" Creige hung his head in defeat as he looked at the black ring appearing on his ring finger. Never in his entire life did he expect to be forcefully married to a little girl.
