Ice Shards: Story by Vulcan

~Chapter II: The Cave~

"Sometimes, life can hit you like a rock. But, what hits harder is love, especially when it's true." - Vulcan, 2021

Shit.... he found out....

Vulcan stood there in shock as he saw that Truzas had his hand out for her. Hesitatingly, she grabbed, and she felt strong arms hold her out. She heard him softly whisper in her ear,

"It's okay, Vul, just lead me to where you want me to go. I'll follow."

Even though it was tempting to let go of his hand, Vulcan refused to. His touch felt fantastic and smooth. She could feel the texture of Truza's hand and his warm smile under the cover of darkness. Slowly, Vulcan began to feel the heat in her body that she was expirencing. Every inch of her body told her to let go and shoo him away, but her heart told her to lead him inside of the cave. Slowly but surely, she led him inside of the cave, and she shut the door behind her and lit a fire in her hand.

"Woah.. these paintings are sooo cool! What are they?"

He began pointing at the paintings of dragon species, defining each one, and a picture of what it looked like.

"Well, Truz, that's paintings of each dragon species and what they look like. Believe me, I've traveled the world."

"That's so cool! I didn't know fire-water dragons existed!"

"They are known as cool-fire dragons. Very nice and calm in my opinion, but stubborn as fuck."

"That's sooo cool! Wait, what's up with these paintings? They look like weird fighting machines."

Why is he so cute and kinda stupid? Wait- I'm actually just bright, dumbass.

"Those are fighting robots. Coolest things I've ever made."

"Uhh why would you even need them? I know we can be abusive, but at least you have a home, and we care about you."

"What do you mean?"

"I've visited other clans for diplomatic reasons. I've noticed the Omega being beaten to near death, and get scraps as foods. You are extremely lucky to even be having good food at all. It's crazy how you want to revenge."

This caused Vulcan to consider the abusive nature of her clan. She knows she's being treated better, because she actually gets along with some officials, The other omegas barely get any attention and are usually beat. They do get good food though.

"Why am I being treated better than anyone else? I am curious not going to lie."

"Well, you are extremely nice to everyone. You rarely get on anyone's bad side. You already have me considering promoting you even after hours of knowing you."

This alone caused Vulcan to blush as the fire illuminated her face. She pressed the button to open the room to all of her robotics, causing Truzas to gasp in shock. She would be too if she was looking at someone else's stuff and it looked like that.

"T-the rumors are true! You really are brilliant! You would be an amazing strategist! You would work so well with our war department!"

This caused Vulcan to go in a state of shock. She had never been complimented in such a way. Being an omega, she was subject to some of the hardest conditions that a dragon should not experience, and yet, she was never really rewarded for her hard work until now. She never expected a compliment from the Alpha's son.

"I know, I don't know how the frick I haven't been found of my true brilliance, but I'm sure the military would abuse it."

Truzas gave Vulcan a sad nod, confirming it was true. He then released his hand from her hand and patted her shoulder softly. It was an amazing experience the two young teenage dragons were experiencing, and they wouldn't do it with anyone else.

"Yes they would abuse it. Wait- look! What is that?"

Vulcan slightly blushed in embarrassment. It was cybernetics that would boost her lightning generation significantly. It was one of the craziest things that had ever come to her mind.

"Well, that's actually cyborg shit to amplify my powers."

"That's so cool and so useful! It's probably a really good thing to have whenever you lose something."

Vulcan shrugged and said,

"Uhh I guess so? This really is a big room, I could show you som-"

"Show me! I want to see a lot of your creations, I think we could dominate the world if we had it!"

"Well, it's revised versions of some blueprints I stole."

Vulcan looked to the ground. She was expecting a whipping, maybe even a verbal lashing. But again, considering Truzas, she didn't really think so.

So that's where they went. Good thing they are in the right hands!

"Honestly? We should be giving the blueprints to you. You're already a massive genius at this, so I feel like you could do even better with ours!"

Slowly, she began revealing elaborate blueprints of projects that she had been creating, and some that will eventually be created.

They stayed there for a long time, but eventually they had to go up. They slowly went back up towards their rooms once again, enjoying each other's presence. It was almost intoxicating.

Eventually, they arrive back at their room. Even though they were sad to see each other go, they knew that deep down, nothing was to be said. Vulcan's secret intelligence should be kept a secret.

"Well, good night. See ya tommrow!"

"You too!"

They quickly hugged, and they tucked in for the night.

Meanwhile, Truzas was having trouble sleeping. He was thinking of the girl he met, Vulcan.

My, she knows how to charm a makr without meaning to.
