[Regifortis]

Tobias felt a pleasure he would have called perverse yesterday at feeling his bare-skinned pregnant belly touch the soft silk. Without even trying, he just got rounder and heavier and wider, it seemed. He wondered if he would actually be able to move on his own tomorrow. And all because he was a mother to dragons.

He rubbed his stomach and swore that every inch of him felt the warmth of sentiment and intimacy. "It'll be interesting to be pregnant for the second time. Our children seeing me blow up like this. Again and again and again..." He felt his cock stiffen. "I should finish up this chapter."

He found his place and cleared his throat again, reading with a little more power and authority this time. Almost like he was imitating how his King would have dictated it. "Rejection of the 'feral' aspect of dragonhood, as I have deemed it, proved to have tremendous advantages. My once limited sex grew a twin with peculiar properties, enabling me to sire children in males and females alike. The thought of finding a mate was intensely exciting to me at this discovery: no boundary of biology existed for starting a family with someone I favored. But who did I favor?

"My attention turned to my brethren, still struggling under a delusion of satisfaction with tangled flesh and addled minds. I had to let them know the joy of reality the same way I had just found it. And so I became that guiding voice for them in turn, until they stood alongside me with magic and proud voices. Or at least, the ones that agreed to it joined me. It's a tremendous weight on my heart how I had to put down those who resisted, not even being able to calm them back into their previous state. They had no concept of the joy of magic, and now they never will." Tobias paused to feel the dramatic effect of the last sentence.

"I was eager to explore the world, and my renewed siblings and friends more than shared my sentiment. We committed every curve of the earth to memory and found creatures we couldn't have imagined. The one creature that stood out the most was humans, the weak and yet precious thinkers that came to be my loyal subjects. They introduced the concept of 'King' to us, and we all agreed it suited me. I became their King with unquestionable authority, and I started a long and challenging journey to building a bond of trust between humans and dragons. One may say it continues today, another may say it was a success since fifty years ago. But it all definitely started with our newfound desire to hoard."

Tobias spied 'Chapter 2' scribed in extravagant black letters and decided to stop there for now.
