It was a warm day as usual in the desert even as the two headed dragon took in every ray of sun light warming his scales while he shook the sand off his body the same way a dog would shake water off its fur when wet still he had to move soon as water and food was rare in this part of desert and where water was so too would food be and he would take as many animals as he could back to his dwelling before the sun went down and it got cooler something he loathed to go through even though he was normally able to make himself a fire to stave off the deserts bitter night cold from affecting him to badly when he slept. Moving the dragon made his way to the near by watering hole and waited laying down so as to disguise himself from the animals that were soon to arrive hopefully they would believe him to be a hill of sand before they arrived even as his second head kept and eye out for anyone who might try and sneak up on him.

The dry heat of the desert wasn’t something she was use to, then again, it wasn’t a place she’d ever found herself until now. There was no way she’d come here knowingly, especially with the hot sun that beamed down upon her pale body. In her dragon form she didn’t worry as much, as he scales easily protected her from the harsh rays; human form though? Her skin would probably burn within seconds, white flesh would be nothing more than burned and heated from the sun. With wings tucked at her sides, she continued her trek through the soft sand, clawed feet leaving patterns in the sand; tail doing the same as it practically slide through the sand. 

Her body was tired, how long had she been going at this point? Days, perhaps, at least it was how it felt to her. There was nothing but hunger and thirst for her, gods she could only beg if she made it out of this heated hell hole. It was then, from the distance, her nose picked  what seemed to be water; a scent that she was more than happy to smell. What if it wasn’t true? What if it a trick in her mind, brought in by her need for water? Gods she hoped not, but her slender legs did nothing but betray her; pulling her closer and close towards it. 

It didn’t fade the further I’m she’d gotten, her little heart thumped in her chest with excitement; tongue gliding across parched lips. No, the water she was picking up was there! Her nose sniffed there air for any sign of others, only to be washed over by the fresh smell of water. She was close, so close, maybe too close as her foot stepped in it for a moment. Oh! There it was! She let out a dragon like chirp of excitement, wings fluttered happily at her sides now. Waiting no longer, the small female tucked her legs in and bent her neck toward; slowly, as to not force her face too far into the water. Then, she drank, greedily as she cold, enjoying each gulp going down her throat.

Tartartus still waiting suddenly heard a sound a chirp making his purple eyes falling upon the source of water as a young female was drinking up water from the oasis making him blink before he shorted as this was not the prey he had hoped for. Still he knew he should show himself so as not to scare her off before he moved his legs and rose up sand falling off his scales twin heads shaking off any on themselves now standing there so she would see him from a distance. 

"And what do we have here?" The other dragon asked now fully standing in his full height as he waited for an answer wondering how such a small dragon could have made it this far into the desert without food or from how she had drank up the water any way of hydration. Soon however the sound of a animal approaching reached his ears as his second head turned to look where it was hoping it would not spot two dragons or else run at the sight of both. Though if it did run he would chase it till he caught it after all he wasn't about to let anyone go hungry.

Keeping one head on the animal he kept his main head on her waiting for an answer from the white scaled dragon now less bored then he had been when he came to the oasis a few minutes ago from his cave not to far away. Once he caught his food he would be heading back so as to cool down for a bit for though he loved the way the sun felt on his scales also did not want to be hot the entire day but would rather take a break from the beating suns rays.

It wasn’t the fact that she could see him? That suddenly startled the small female, but the sudden movement she could hear around her. Sand seemingly falling from no where, being whipped down back onto the sandy areas around the oasis. She could see nothing, as the young girl was blind to anything visual. Knowing someone or something was there now? Her senses were screaming at her. The scent hit her next, a large male, and quite large at that. Her body shook as she stood there, unmoving while her face still close to the water. 

Small little sounds came from her, but it all was laced with fear. Maybe if she didn’t speak they’d go away? No, that wasn’t going to happen, she knew well of this... or did she? She’d lived most her life in a mansion, doing menial little tasks around as any slave or servant would perform. There wasn’t much of anything she knew of the world outside of that. Even when he spoke his words were big, booming almost; he was huge by the sound of it. 

“Eh....” was all she seemed to be able to say, even if it wasn’t even saying anything. Her pale eyes seemed to gaze forward, unmoving and unfocused. Slowly she backed up a couple steps, body lowering towards the ground below her, wings pulling close as to hide herself away.

Standing there he moved his main head to the side in confusion of her answer even as the smaller dragon backed up and let out an eh making him wonder if she had not heard him say anything at all to her as he moved closer. Upon getting close enough Tartarus leaned his head down to look her in the eyes only to see her own eyes were white as a cloud an eyebrow arching as it hit him suddenly that she was blind and could not even see him only smell and hear him before he moved his head back up now standing right in front of her looking down wondering what he would do next as his attention went to the beast the second head had spotted not to far away. Taking one last look at her he moved away before entering into a run his feet letting out a thump with each step his only thought was to catch the beast and devour it for himself and now his tiny guest.


Closer and closer he got to the beast before upon finally catching up to it his claws reached foward grabbing it by the back as he skidded to a stop sand flying everywhere even as he lifted it up and moving his free hand to its neck snapped it killing the creature rather quickly. It would feel no pain even as he moved back to the smaller dragon prey in one hand and once more in front of her laided down the meal he was going to share right in front of her.

"You must be hungry? Do you like your meat cooked or raw?" Tartarus asked even as his second head kept its gaze behind while he extended his body out laying down head now mere inches away from her to the point if she were to reach out she could touch his nose. Hopefully she would now be a little less scared of him now that he had offered her a gift to calm her nerves and keep her from running as he believed a small dragon like herself would not make it long without some kind of food or given her blindness someone to bring it to her.

Just hearing him move made it all the worst for her, she didn't know his size, but by how the ground seemed to shudder around her she had an idea of just how big. Was it a thing that dragons ate other dragons? Was she just being very paranoid? Probably, though, probably not as well. It wouldn't be put passed an animal to eat one of it's own kind for survival, so why should she assume this one wouldn't. The small girl shuddered lightly under the light of the sun above, her body almost tried to bury itself in the sand. There was no way she was getting out of here, she wasn't all that face and flying was never a choice.


Miu might have a pair of wings, but without the gift of sight... there was no point of her even trying to use them. Wait, it was moving away? Why so? Wait, another scent was in the air now, she could smell it faintly over his own.. but that was soon overpowered with the small of death. The sound of skidding sand and snapping bones enhanced that sensation; she shook where she laid.

Her wings were covering over her small head at this point, only for her to jump slightly at the thud of the kill sat before her. It was.. right there, being offered to her? This was, new honestly, but even then it only calmed her enough for her small head to peek out. "C... cooked..." her voice came out once again, just as light and delicate as she looked, "please..." Miu gave a little coo like sound, like the kind a bird might make.

Tartarus upon hearing her request smirked slightly amused at her shyness though not surprised he was after all use to people being afraid of the fact he was huge in his normal form but then he turned his attention to the dead beast and lowering his main head once more breathed softly as flames emerged from his mouth lightly peeling away the dead beasts flesh till it sizzled and soon only a cooked husk remained of the kill he had just made of it. Moving his claw foward he reached into it and tore out chunks of it putting them to the side for the smaller white dragon while he took hold of the main body and lifting his head up swallowed it whole without a second thought.

He would need more but for now he was satisfied with his meal while his eyes scanned the area wondering how long it would take for a new beast to arrive to become his and he supposed the girls newest snack for the evening for now however tartarus would wait like he always did before moving both heads down to the water to take a drink as the desert had worked up a mighty thirst in him that needed to be satisfied to stave off dehydration.

Soon though his eyes moved to the other dragon wondering why she was here and how she had gotten this far without being eaten by something bigger then herself but it was likely nothing was willing to challenge her after all a dragon was a dragon no matter how small or blind they may be one would think twice before attacking his kind. "So how is it that a tiny thing like yourself got this far without being able to see?" Are you perhaps trying to move to a more green land somewhere less hot I suppose?" Tartarus asked now finished with his drink even as water dripped down his scaly chin and back into the main body of water as he would allow non to go to waste in this harsh land he called home.

The small of the two continued to lay there, though she listened close to what the larger male was doing; if she had a pair of ears they would more than likely be flicking about right now. It wasn't until the smell of cooking flesh hit her nose, that she realized what he was doing. He was cooking it for her? It wasn't really necessary, let along something he needed to do. She probably approached onto his territory without warning, trespassing in his space. That was how it worked, wasn't it? Gods she had no idea. With a life lived in one place, one didn't learn about how things worked outside of it.

"Thank you..." she spoke in a soft whisper, eyes staring on ahead as she moved her neck to sniff at the cooked meat before it. It smelled, rather well really, not what she was quite use to, but at this point it wasn't anything she could just push aside. Unlike the larger dragon, it took her a few bites to even come close to being half way done; but what he'd given was all she would need for quite a while.

Her size and mass was much smaller, but just as she finished she licked at her lips. Her tummy was full, and that made her feel much calmer and thankful as well. "Uh..." she laid her head down in the soft sand, "I.. I don't know where I'm going, and I don't know w-where I am. I've never been... out before."

Tartarus said nothing as she ate even as the smaller dragon thanked him he kept silent while he wondered what to do next as he would held out soon but he wondered if leaving the other behind would be a good idea after all she was smaller and blind before she spoke up announcing she had never been here before nor did she know where she was going making his eyes move back to her moving his main head to the side with a frown even as his second head also moved to look at her confused. Clearly the smaller dragon had no idea what she was doing and without a second thought he moved his head down slowly opening his mouth around her body.

Soon his mouth was around her body and being careful to not let his teeth dig in he lifted her up and moving his head up again slowly moved to his back before gently planting her down on it even as he started to move again heading back to his home silent as he had been the entire time even though he hoped she would not freak out or try and jump off his back being much bigger then she was.

For now his second head lightly against her own hoping to distract her or at least show her that he meant her no harm nor was he a threat to her.

The silence was fine for her at the moment, she could clearly hear the rustling of leaves and grass around her; even the gentle sound of the breeze rolling passed her own ears. Though, her heart started to pound in her chest soon after, she could feel his mouth opening around her small body. Her eyes grew wide in surprise, she could smell his breath envelope her entire being. If she had been quicker, she might have moved away in time to miss being clenched between a pair of large jaws; but instead, she felt his teeth clench around her.

Miu let out a soft shriek like sound from her lungs, a mix of fright and panic taking over her. Who wouldn't panic? A large male like this with their teeth around you? Hell, and he was silent the entire time as well! No warning before hand, no telling her he wasn't going to eat her; so it was all the little white dragon could assume was going to happen.

It didn't come, however, instead she was placed down upon his back? At least, she assume so by the feeling below her small feet. There was no doubt the sensation of anothers scales, but she was more happy knowing he wasn't trying to eat her; though gods know he was more than capable. His head gave some comfort, helping her calm herself from the intense fear she'd felt just moments prior; and yet she couldn't help but feel anxious about where he was taking her at the same time.
