Ignis turned to Ivy, a yawn escaping his lips. "I think it's time we hit the hay. We've read through all the letters."
Ivy nodded, rubbing her eyes. "You're right, I'm beat."
"You'll be sleeping in your own bed tonight, I assume?" Ignis asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, actually, no," Ivy admitted, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "I felt comfortable sleeping next to you."
Ignis chuckled softly. "Well, not everyone gets the chance to share a bed with such a pretty girl."
"Don't get ahead of yourself," Ivy teased, though her heart fluttered at his words. "I'm just scared, that's all."
"Of course, Your Highness," Ignis replied with a playful grin.
As they settled into bed, Ignis couldn't help but marvel at his change of luck. He found himself drawn to Ivy's warmth, her presence soothing his restless thoughts. Yet, when Ivy intertwined her arms with his and nestled closer, Ignis felt a rush of heat flood his cheeks. He tried to focus on sleeping, but the sensation of her hand on his thigh made it impossible to relax.
As the clock struck midnight, a loud bang echoed from outside, jolting them awake. Ivy clung to Ignis, fear evident in her grip.
"What was that?" she whispered anxiously.
"I'm not sure," Ignis replied, his voice low. "Let's go check it out."
They tiptoed to the window, peering outside to see a giant wyvern looming in the distance.
"It's heading towards the student dorms," one teacher observed with concern.
"We need to stop it," another agreed, eyes wide with alarm.
"But it's so powerful. Where are the headmaster and the vice headmistresses?" a third teacher wondered aloud, their voices tinged with worry.
Ignis surveyed the approaching wyverns, a knot forming in his stomach. "That wyvern looks incredibly powerful. How did it even get into the school?"
Ivy's eyes widened with alarm. "I don't know, but you don't need to worry. There are students in upper classes who are considered geniuses, even on par with the senior Teachers. If the wyvern attacks, a few of the top students will be able to ha... Oh, fu...ck."
As they watched, a group of wyverns soared towards the dorms. Among them, several red wyverns flew alongside a... gold wyvern.
Ivy gasped in disbelief at the sight of the golden wyvern. "It's a golden wyvern, a fucking GOLDEN WYVERN. its like a fucking wyvern tribe attacking our dorm. we need to do something quick. You know the old MONK right, call him. Ask for his backup."
Ignis with a confused look said," How the fuck do I call him?".
Ivy with a wrinkled nose,"You don't have a fucking phone? WHat the actual fuck. well fuck it we have to rush to those top students, if they do not arrive quickly, our side of the dorm will be destroyed."
"But why our side of the dorm?"
"Ignis promise me you won't tell this anyone."
"What?"
Ivy's gaze fell to the ground, her voice trembling with sorrow. "I actually have a curse. I bring bad luck to people near me. Demi-Gods become stronger by consuming my essence," tears streamed down her cheeks.
"but...Why do you have this curse? and why the fuck are you even telling me this" Ignis's voice cracked, filled with concern.
"My mother made a contract with an Eregereyon, but she couldn't fulfill her end of the bargain. The Eregereyon took her as a slave and cursed me while she was pregnant with me," Ivy explained, her voice choked with emotion. "The reason you couldn't use magic was because I slept next to you."
Ivy struggled to contain her tears, her pain evident in her trembling voice. "They're here to consume me. By feeding on the essence of that cursed Eregereyon, demi gods like that golden wyvern gain more power. I'm sorry, Ignis. I'm so sorry. You've had to suffer because of me. I don't know if we would even survive this fucking mess.", tears fell from Ivy's eyes
Ignis chuckled softly, pulling Ivy into a warm embrace. "whoa whoa whoa, Who said you bring bad luck, my lady? atleast You brought me happiness and luck."
As he wiped away her tears, Ignis's gaze softened.
He paused, his voice filled with sincerity. "I remember a time when I couldn't use even mid level magic, when I was bullied and mocked. But when you came into my life, everything changed. I became stronger, I acutally performed high level magic, I even defeated Tim. All because You came into my life."
Ignis's eyes sparkled as he continued. "The moment I laid eyes on you, it felt like my heart stopped. Your eyes, shining like stars, captivated me. They charged me into weird delusions, that I could protect you, protect you with my life and some other that I can't even dare to say. I don't know about bad luck but you for sure brought my heart to a stop."
He hugged Ivy tightly, savoring the warmth of her presence. "That God had the audacity to curse my beloved lady. I'll beat some sense into him. But until then, I need your smiles to keep me going."
Ivy blushed at Ignis's words, her heart racing. "Ignis, what the actual fuck that's so corny. EWW.". She giggles
With a playful smile, she leaned in and gently pressed her lips to his, sending a thrill through Ignis's veins. Pulling back, she glanced away, her cheeks flushed with color.
"That felt good," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ignis, still reeling from the unexpected kiss, could only manage a shy smile.
"Let's go find the seniors." Ivy said.
"Yeah, you're right," Ignis agreed, trying to compose himself as they headed out together.
Ignis's mind raced as he recalled what he had read about wyverns. They were an invasive dragon family, each color representing a different level of power.
A black wyvern were the weakest, followed by green, red, and finally, the golden wyvern. Legend had it that a red wyvern, after a millennia of continuous battle, would evolve into a golden wyvern. And becomes A Demi-God.

Ignis's voice held a note of determination as he spoke, "I remember, once students pass their second year of high school here, they're sent out to do part-time jobs. They have to rent their own apartments. Finding the number one student won't be easy. We'll need the school's address list."
But their plans were interrupted by a teacher's stern voice, "Hey, you two! Students aren't allowed to be out , not during an emergency. Get back to your dorms where you'll be safe."
Ignis glanced at the teacher and nodded, leading Ivy back to their room, still holding her hand tightly.
Once inside, Ignis turned to Ivy, his expression serious. "Do you know how to disappear?"
Ivy shook her head, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "I'm not that skilled in magic yet. But why do you ask?"
Ignis gently pulled Ivy closer by her waist, causing her heart to race.
Ivy's blush deepened. "But... but we can't do that before marriage. You'll have to restrain yourself. and look at the situation how can you get....ha...HARD!!"
Ignis chuckled softly. "the fuck are you thinking? I was covering you with a spell."
With a flourish of his hand, a colorful tornado enveloped them, rendering them invisible. Ivy's eyes widened in amazement.
"You can let go of me now," she whispered.
But Ignis shook his head. "If I let go, the spell will lose its effect."
Ivy sighed, then suggested, "We could just hold hands instead. That might work."
Ignis smiled and agreed, intertwining his fingers with hers as they walked out of the school grounds
Sneaking out of the bushes, they cautiously made their way past the school gates, keeping an eye out for any teachers who might catch them.
Once outside, Ignis was struck by the bustling sights and sounds of the city.
"I've never really explored the city before. It feels like a whole new world," Ignis remarked to Ivy.
Ivy chuckled at his surprise. "You seemed like such a shut-in when I first met you, haha."
They walked further away from the school, Ignis decided to dispel the invisible magic, feeling more confident now that they were out in the open.
Ignis couldn't help but stare at Ivy, the girl he kissed just recently.
Ivy possesses a striking beauty that captivates those around her.
Her slender yet shapely figure exudes elegance and confidence, accentuated by her choice of attire, which often consists of night pajamas that cling to her curves in all the right places.
Her black hair cascades down her back, emitting an aura of pride and allure. With each movement, her hair sways gracefully, adding to her magnetic presence.
Ivy's fair complexion complements her overall beauty, adding a touch of radiance to her appearance. Her skin glows softly under any lighting, enhancing her natural charm.
Her most captivating feature, however, lies in her eyes.
A mesmerizing shade of neon green, they seem to hold an entire universe within them. Sparkling with intelligence and emotion, her eyes draw people in with their depth and intensity.
They possess a magnetic quality that leaves a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to gaze into them. Whether reflecting excitement, determination, or tenderness, Ivy's eyes never fail to convey the complexity of her emotions, adding an enchanting allure to her already captivating presence.
Ivy blushed,"Hurry up dummy, you can stare at me later.".
As they hurried along, Ivy suggested, "I know where the number 3 lives. Let's go and alert her. The teachers won't do it."
Ignis, puzzled, asked, "Why aren't the headmaster or the vice headmistress here? They should have arrived by now."
With a smirk, Ivy replied, "That bastard Cliff and the vice headmistress are probably off having some affair. They must have stopped at some love hotels, doing their unholy deeds."
Ignis chuckled and inquired, "How do you know all this?"
Ivy glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, "Don't you have any friends here? Everyone knows that. I overheard the girls gossiping while you were having your battle."
"Do I look like I have friends?" Ignis joked.
"I don't know about others, but you look hot," Ivy teased, making Ignis blush.
"It's going to take a lifetime to reach the 3rd," Ignis observed.
"I could try something, maybe," he added thoughtfully.
But before he could suggest anything, Ivy took the lead. "Hold up, it's my time for revenge," she declared.
With a mischievous grin, Ivy grabbed Ignis, her chest pressing against his arm, and without explanation, she darted forward with lightning speed.
In just a few minutes, they reached the center of the city, and Ivy, panting heavily, came to a stop.
"It's too hard to keep running at that speed. It's very exhausting," she admitted.
"Must be some top-tier magic then, to drain our mighty princess." Ignis remarked, impressed.
Ivy, still catching her breath, lightly punched him. "And I took that seriously," she said with a mix of playfulness and determination in her eyes.
Ignis marveled at the towering apartment building, its immense height stretching towards the sky. "How do people build such colossal structures?" he mused aloud, his curiosity piqued by the sheer scale of the building.
Ivy, without a word, seized Ignis's hand and pulled him along, leading him towards the elevator. As they entered, Ignis couldn't help but voice his thoughts. "Don't you have a phone? You could have just called her, couldn't you?"
Ivy shot him a smug smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You think I didn't consider that? She's just like you, Ignis. Doesn't use a phone. Coming here was the only option."
Ignis chuckled at Ivy's cleverness, acknowledging her foresight. "As expected from my intelligent lady," he remarked with a grin as they ascended to the 106th floor.
Exiting the elevator, Ivy guided Ignis down the hallway until they reached a specific door. "Her apartment is on this floor," Ivy informed him, her tone tinged with familiarity.
Curious, Ignis inquired further. "How do you know so much about her?"
With a small smile, Ivy divulged, "She was my best friend, and she's also the literal princess of one of the dwarven kingdoms. Her information is on the school website."
Ignis's eyes widened in surprise. "She's a dwarf? I didn't realize we had The Dwarf royalty among the other royal students," he remarked, intrigued by the revelation.
Ivy clarified, "She's half-dwarf, actually. Her mother was a giant, so she inherited some of her height. She's taller than the average dwarf, but not by much."
Before Ignis could respond, Ivy halted in front of a door and knocked gently. Almost immediately, the door swung open,
As the door swung open, Ignis and Ivy were greeted by the breathtaking sight of the dwarven princess.
Standing at around 5'6 in height, she exuded an aura of regal elegance despite her diminutive stature.
She was dressed in a loose-fitting shirt that draped effortlessly over her curves, leaving little to the imagination, while only a delicate pair of thin underwear adorned her lower body.
Her thighs were thick and plump, while her ample breasts practically dwarfed Ignis's head, drawing the eye with their alluring curves.
Despite her generous proportions, she possessed a slim waist that only served to accentuate her feminine allure.
But perhaps the most captivating feature of all was her eyes – a mesmerizing shade of blue that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly brilliance.
They held a depth and intensity that was both alluring and enigmatic, drawing the observer into their depths with their hypnotic gaze.
Her hair cascaded in silken waves, the color of silver with a hint of light blue, framing her delicate features with an ethereal glow.
Each strand seemed to catch the light, lending her an otherworldly beauty that was impossible to ignore.
In her presence, Ignis couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration. She was truly a vision of loveliness, a princess in every sense of the word.
As the door opened, the dwarven princess rushed forward, excitement evident in her expression as she enveloped Ivy in a tight embrace.
"Oh Ivy, where have you been? I've missed you so much," she exclaimed, her voice tinged with genuine affection. "You won't believe what's been happening – my breast size increased by 6..."
Her words trailed off as her gaze met Ignis's, and suddenly, an inexplicable warmth washed over her. It felt as though the air had been knocked out of her lungs, leaving her breathless and lightheaded.
In that moment, a rush of unfamiliar sensations flooded Mae's mind. Thoughts raced through her head in a whirlwind of confusion and desire, her heart pounding in her chest as she struggled to make sense of it all.
"What is this feeling?" she wondered, her mind clouded with a mixture of longing and anticipation. "I can't breathe... I want... I want to be dominated by this guy. He's... he's..."
Before she could finish her thoughts, Ivy's voice broke through her reverie, bringing her back to reality.
"Mae, you're suffocating me," Ivy gasped, struggling to free herself from the embrace.
Mae quickly released Ivy, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she realized her mistake. "Sorry, Ivy," she mumbled, stepping back to give her friend some space. "Tell me everything."
Ivy glanced at Ignis, a slight smile playing on her lips. "First, you might want to put some clothes on. Ignis is here."
Mae's eyes widened in realization, and she quickly glanced down at her attire before hurrying to close the door and dress herself.
As Ivy watched her friend fuss over her appearance, she couldn't help but chuckle soft
As Mae hurriedly dressed herself, her mind raced with a flurry of conflicting emotions. "I must be ovulating," she thought to herself, attempting to rationalize the sudden surge of attraction she felt towards Ignis.
"But how can I, the Princess of Jenkor, fall for a commoner? Love at first sight is just a fairy tale. I need to get a grip on myself."
With a determined sigh, Mae shook off her momentary lapse in composure and focused on the task at hand.
Ivy had mentioned that the school was in an emergency, and Mae knew that she needed to prioritize addressing the situation over any personal distractions.
Pulling on a cozy pink hoodie and a pair of comfortable grey pants, Mae took a moment to collect herself before joining Ivy and Ignis in the room once more.
"Explain the fucking lore", Mae exits the room.
