Her words meant nothing to him until she spoke of his tainted blood. He growled and bared his fangs,glaring with a rich purple and a hazel eye. "Tainted? It's not my fault I'm half dragon,I didn't want to be half human and half dragon." He hissed,not mentioning that the same was with his soul. Half human soul....Half dragon soul. He was a soul of two.

She stuck her nose in the air. The others were exchanging looks

He spread his wings enough to try and look bigger,his stinger flexing in and out best it could at the end of his tail. "Tainted. Ha'. So what I'm not purebred. That means nothing. I'm still as much dragon as I am human. And I'm proud of it,I'm proud of my lineage and of what I am." He said,using his dragon tone. But the thing is,he wasn't proud of what he was,that he was practically half monster. But he wasn't about to let any of these fey know.

"Whatever. So." Snowberry stepped back and gave him a patronizing smile. "This is what we're going to do. You are going to promise me that you won't so much as glance at my sweet Ash, ever again. Breaking this promise means I get to pluck out your wandering eyes and make a necklace with them. I think that's a fair bargain, don't you?"


The rest of the girls giggled, and there was a hungry, eager edge to the sound, like they wanted to eat him alive

As she spoke so specifically of Ash blue and a broken dark pink shuttered into his scales. The dark pink wasn't something that was ever on his scales,usually the bright pink said love...but this pink....was something else. Like a broken love. "I don't promise things to those i don't trust." He growled,trying to hide the pain he felt inside but he tried to kill it. He tried and tried hard because he knew that it was something that must have just been another reason why Ash's feelings probably weren't true,or at least what he said if Jason had even heard him right.

"Well, isn't this fun." A smooth, confident voice cut through the silence. The girls jumped as a lean figure dressed entirely in white materialized from the snow, his coat flapping behind him. The look on his pointed face glowed with haughty amusement.


"Prince Rowan!"


The prince grinned, his ice-blue eyes narrowed to slits. "Pardon me, girls," he said, slipping up beside Jason, making the pack fall back a few steps. "I don't mean to ruin your little party, but I need to borrow the dragon for a moment."

Jason took a step away from him,wings folding in tight again with the clinking of glass and the little ice creature on his head sliding down to his shoulder and curling under his head a bit.

Snowberry smiled at Rowan, all traces of hatefulness gone in an instant. "Of course, Your Highness," she cooed as if she'd just been offered a wonderful gift. "Whatever you command. We were just keeping him company." Rowan smiled back as if he believed her, and the pack drifted away without a backward glance.


The prince's smile turned to a smirk as soon as they'd gone, and he gave Jason a sideways leer. He might have saved him from Snowberry and her harpies, but he hadn't done it to be chivalrous. "So, you're the one that sacrificed himself," he purred. His eyes raked him up and down. "Somehow I thought you were...taller."

Jason took at least 2 more steps back and looked up at him,white flooding into his freckles as it washed away the dark pink. He ducked his head a bit,in a polite manner. The little female creature nuzzled a bit to hide in him as well did the little Shadow in his arms.

Rowan smiled, his gaze lingering. He snickered again and stepped back, gesturing for him to follow. "Come on, Prince. Let's take a walk. I want to show you something."
