Dragon's Horde (Another Glorious Victory) (Patreon)

((Y/N)'s POV) Age: 6

Today was a parade and Mommy and Daddy got their very own place in the parade on the way to the castle since they beat a whole dungeon. I even get to go to the big castle again for a party to have some good food. When I was at home getting ready for the big party, I also made sure not to eat so that the dessert table would be a good first table! I looked at myself in the mirror to make sure I was like how Mommy and Daddy liked me to look in front of the people. Clean and cute.

When I was ready to go, I went out to the living room where Mommy and Daddy were. 

(Y/N)-Mommy, Daddy, I'm ready to go! Is the parade ready?!

Mommy-It won't be ready for another few hours. 

Daddy-Everyone is still piling up after our latest job was done. I think the king should just give us the crown at this point. Not like the old gizzard can fight.

Mommy-Honey.

Daddy-What's the big deal? There are no guards around. And what are they going to do? Take out the kingdom heroes?

Mommy-Just keep a lid on it when drinking. I didn't need you embarrassing me in front of the king and duke.

Mommy also calls them old and stupid enough to even believe what I say as long as I repeat what Mommy said. I just can't say that to anyone.

(Timeskip To Night)

I was so full and tired now from the desserts and food while my parents made me talk to other people. People asked me questions about my parents while they talked about rich people stuff or their adventures. Daddy even swings his sword around to show people. Mommy even applies magic to her sword to shoot a lightning bolt out of it.

((D/N)'s POV)

All the amusement on their faces says it all. I am on top of this kingdom with my wife and they see us as more loveable than the king. I could be showered in this forever. I am the hero of this kingdom or even this world because nothing can beat me! Just then a guard tapped on my shoulder and looked so serious at a party.

Guard-My lord, there is something the captain wishes to talk to you and Lady, (M/N) in private.

I have a feeling this is another promotion. I motioned for him to lead the way and he took me to a room for us to talk in but my wife was not here yet.

(D/N)-Hey, I'll handle the talking and pass it on to her later. Go have a drink and loosen up. Hehehehe.

He left and I took a seat with the captain.

Captian-I trust you are having a fun night.

(D/N)-What tipped you off?

Captain-Well, we might be celebrating something like this again real soon. We have an interesting report that needs your attention.

(D/N)-What's the report?

(Timeskip To Morning)

(D/N)-DRAGON!!! WE GET TO KILL A DRAGON!!!

My wife and I were out of the kingdom and to keep panic from happening, we couldn't tell anyone but they would love to see us pulling in a dragon's head. (Y/N) is being watched by the neighbors and we should be at the mountain the dragon was sighted by evening if we don't take any breaks unless it's for the bathroom. We even wanted to rush there to bring the dragon head back in record time. We even had our normal be going if it's just one target. The last hit gets out of cooking dinner. It used to be who got the bigger cut on the reward but then we got married and moved in together.

(M/N)-So how big did they say this dragon was?

(D/N)-Is that worrying I hear?

(M/N)-Just want to know how much Dragon meat 'you're going to be cooking' for your son and me 'tonight'.

I rolled my eyes at her. I love this woman's competitive spirit. By the time we got to the cave, we stared into the entrance, lit a torch, and tossed it in to see how far it went when I threw it. It stopped by hitting a wall that turned into the cave of this mountain. After that, we walked in with both swords drawn and my wife had her spells ready while I activated my boost skill. 

*Thud*

*Thud*

We were on guard for anything to happen and that's when we saw something move at the end of the cave before the turn... The wall looked a little weird before it moved... It was a leg that was getting up before more light shined in to show tons of gold, treasures, and jewels.

???-*Yawn* *echo*... Huh?

A giant hand came down for the torch but I rushed in to cut the hand off.

(D/N)-First blood is mine!

*CLANK*

Because of my improved speed and strength... My sword broke in two pieces then I looked up in the well-lit room to see the dragon... It was bigger than I thought.

???-A human?... Did you try to slay me? *echo*

I looked at the armor she was wearing and it looked like a really high-quality metal. I only made it a few feet past her ankle when she towered over me. That's when my wife rushed in with a charged fire attack which was her specialty.

(M/N)-TAKE THIS!!!

A huge wave of fire was hurling at the dragon and this attack cut through ogres, orcs, wolves, and other monsters like butter no matter what. To the dragon, it didn't even phase her. She just looked very mad.

???-You stupid, puny-. *echo*

???-What's going on over there? *echo*

Another dragon woman came into view after our attacks did nothing to one of them.

She saw me and my wife and my broken sword. She had a bit of a seductive walk with a smug look on her face but I went for my broken blade to thrust into her at full force but it snapped again. That's when she grabbed me and the first dragon grabbed my wife.

???-What are you doing inviting humans into our new cave? Big sis is not going to be happy with you. And they are so ill-manored. ~

???-Stuff it! I say we eat them and be done with it!

???-None for me, Gerta. You don't know what humans eat nowadays or where they've been. 

(M/N)-Put me down! We're the best knights in the kingdom and if anything happens to us more will come!

Gerta-*Chuckles* You're the best in your kingdom? Do you hear that Ava? We just met the best knights in the kingdom.

Ava-Well don't kill them then. What if more do come? All of those knights might try to sneak in and see me changing or something.

Gerta was about to eat my wife and she was panicking and that's when another dragon came into the room. She breathed fire to get everyone's attention and she was taller than the first two dragons in here.

???-What are you two talking about in here?

My heart was racing and Ava tried to hide me behind her back but this dragon already saw me.

???-What are you both doing with humans?

Gerta-Don't look at us. We didn't invite them.

They kept on talking and I tried struggling and even biting at Ava's hand but it was too big for me even to bite. The new dragon came over and looked furious.

???-Do you know what this means? No matter what we do, more humans are going to come! Kill them and start gathering up everything again!

Ava-What?! We just finished though!

???-Oh you can thank the one who got spotted outside and since I haven't left since we got here, I will be thanking one or both of you when I find out.

(M/N)-W-WAIT!!! PLEASE DON'T KILL US!!! WE WON'T SAY ANYTHING!!! WE SWEAR!!!

I nodded my head quickly in agreement but none of them seemed amused. They didn't believe us and were going to kill us still! I thought of something really quick though!

(D/N)-WAIT!!!... W-We can make a trade! Something to help us trust each other!

Gerta-What can a human give us to show trust?

(M/N)-Gold! We have lots of gold!

???-Don't believe them. A human knows where gold is, they will just come back for more.

The white dragon was about to breathe fire on my wife when she screamed and cried but then she said something...

(M/N)-WE HAVE A CHILD!!!

This stopped Ava.

(M/N)-A-A hostage to keep us from speaking of this! 

(Raisa's POV)

These humans are so low that they would sell out their own children. I overheard something like greatest heroes. Pathetic. Though, I would love to take them up on this offer for another kind of trophy to the horde to show other humans that may come and die how pathetic some of them truly are. I came out of my thoughts when Gerta had the human male dropped into her mouth.

Raisa-Wait... Spit him out.

She gave me a weird look but when I held out my hand she listened to me. The human male was spat into my hand unharmed and Ava looked a little disgusted.

(D/N)-*Gasp**heavy breathing*!

I gripped the male human tightly in my palm.

Raisa-Are you willing to give up your child so you can live and we can remain in our new home?

(D/N)-... Will it work?

Raisa-*Chuckles* Very well. You have until tomorrow at sundown to bring your child here but if you fail to bring him here before the deadline, my sisters and I will bring that kingdom to its knees and pilage it before we go... Orrrr... We can just eat you both here and get packing without hurting anyone else. Your choice.

(M/N)/(D/N)-...

(Timeskip 12 Hours)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Mommy and Daddy got home very late and took me back home with them. They were packing up some of my clothes and stuff before putting me in a sleeping bag on a cart. Mommy said we were going on a camping trip and Daddy said whatever happens is for the kingdom. We left at night and by the time we left the gates, I felt really sleepy but didn't want to sleep yet. I don't ever get to leave the kingdom.

(Y/N)-Mommy, Daddy, where are we camping?

Daddy-In the mountains. Ones farther away.

(Y/N)-Why are we going to ones farther away?

Mommy-Just go to sleep, Honey. We'll be there before you wake up.

Daddy kept on pulling the cart and Mommy put her hand up to my nose which smelled weird then I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I was out cold.

((M/N)'s POV)

My husband and I fully understand that this is for the greater good of the kingdom. It can't lose us or it loses its greatest heroes and hope for the future. What is one life for that sacrifice? We talked about it while our son was out cold and hopefully, he will stay that way and go peacefully.

(M/N)-When we get back to the kingdom, if anyone asks, they are with another family that can provide better for him.

(D/N)-Yes and they were happy to do this for us so we can save more lives... I even slayed a pack of wolves after we found no dragons.

(M/N)-Don't even bring up the dragons. If the king asks we say we found tracks but no dragon.

He wants this to be as flashy as usual but we need this to be forgotten. We are feeding our son to 3 hungry bloodthirsty dragons! Does he not know what this means for us if this gets out?!

(Ava's POV)

I kept on carefully adding to the fire in the stone oven we carved into the wall and when it was done I pulled out what I made for dessert after our big dinner...

Ava-Cake is done baking! Where's my frosting?!

Raisa-It's where you left it. We never got up.

Ava-Well, you stuffed yourselves on boars, giant boar, and Wererabit meat. You didn't even leave room for the dessert I wanted to make. If I get fat-.

Raisa-You blame me for getting fat, you can go out hunting for the month to shave it off.

Ava-*Hmph* Maybe this new human will have more respect for baked goods.

It looked like those parents were in a rush to get their child since Raisa gave them a short deadline. I thought taking their armor and sending them back home with nothing but the clothes on their backs would be funny but Rasia said no since that would make humans ask questions, and then we would have to move. Gerta said we can't even trust them on this to go back after they give us their child but she said she would take care of it. 

Gerta-Are we really going to make a human child a trophy? What's wrong with more skeletons?

Ava-Excuse me! I horde soft and fashionable things and skeletons coming to my pile is not happening!

Gerta-*Tch* Keep that child's hands off the gold.

Raisa-He will not be going anywhere so it doesn't matter.

I let them keep on talking while I went into our cooler to get my frosting and went outside while the cake cooled down and the frosting softened. I stayed just outside the entrance and blew fire in the air from being bored until...

(Gerta's POV)

Ava-AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

I jolted up from my resting spot in the gold with Raisa before we rushed outside to see what was wrong! When we got outside we saw Ava... holding the human child in her claws as promised and they were sleeping.

Ava-Look at him! He's so adorable! ~

I just facepalmed myself and smelled something funny... I don't know but it looks like it's too weak for us but it's keeping this child asleep. Just then, we noticed the parents by Ava's feet and Raisa stepped forward.

Raisa-Both out you go inside... Now.

Ava went inside while cooing at the human child in her claws and I knew that look on Raisa. Collected on the outside but sinister on the inside. I knew then that these humans were not going back home. When I got inside with Ava she took the child to her horde and curled up a little.

Ava-He's so tiny, he has a place in the tiny stuffed animals pile. ~

Gerta-Don't get too comfy. Raisa wants to put an enchantment on him.

Ava-He is living with us and belongs to us now. I can cuddle him as much as I want when I want. I don't see any of you wanting a turn. Maybe he will love a piece of cake when he wakes up and meets us. ~

I just rolled my eyes when she looked at him and rubbed her nose into him before or more like buried him in her nose while pushing him into one of the pillows and blankets she made her size. I just went over to flop down into my pile of gold before she went back to frost her cake.

(Raisa's POV)

(D/N)-AAAAAHHHHHH!!!

*Gulp*

I dropped the male straight down my throat with ease since they had no weapons that could hurt me inside. I can eat metal and spit out molten magma so this will be nothing. Just as I was about to eat the female...

(M/N)-No! *sobbing* We had a deal! M-More will come, now if you don't release me and spit him out!

Raisa-I don't think sooooo. You go back to the kingdom without saying a word then you leave with a cart, packed up, and take your child with you... Sounds to me like you went to another kingdom to start a new life and you 'never' came back. ~

She had a horrified look on her face before I let go of her and opened my mouth.

*Gulp*

Raisa-Ahhh... You two went nice with my dinner. Thanks for the new trophy. We'll take great care of him. I think Ava already loves him. She always had a soft spot for cute things.

I patted my stomach and felt them wiggle around a little which made me chuckle. I think they were trying to escape by cutting me with a broken sword or use magic. I decided to stay out here and launch some plasma balls to burn them inside me.

Raisa-You don't mind if I put a spiritual collar on him, do you?... Nah, you already offered him to us so that's my call. *chuckles* ~
