Dawn light momentarily gleans off the golden wings before he dips again seeking the last vestiges of darkness in the valleys of the great mountains. Although the sunlight compliments the beast, turning a simply magnificent creature into a radiant sight that one waits lifetimes to see, today he hides for she is near. He first scented her two weeks prior. Now in the peak of her heat, her essence drives him mad. Mad but cunning for she is a wondrous silver and far too wonderful to give in to any but those worthy. She had escaped him twice before; once diving into a lake to mask her smell as he passed quickly overhead and the other slipping away as he fought two coppers to keep them from her ripened sex. 

As he approaches a narrow part of the canyon he speeds up, turning at the last minute to slip through rather than rise above, where she may spot him. Dipping low once again, the wind of his passing ruffles the lazy river as he glides inches from the surface. 

Up ahead he spots her. She glides directly above the mountains even with their peaks, not needing to twist and turn with the canyons path. He is in luck, he is directly behind her and below and hidden still by the darkness. 

He pumps his wings silently increasing his speed as he closes beneath her. The surface of the river ripples as he passes with the awesome force of each stroke. Almost directly beneath her he angles up heading directly for her. The great golden dragon shrieks out his intention to mount her and make her his. 

She barely hesitates before angling up and beating her own might wings to try and out rise him. It is her only chance of escape. Still dazed from her nights sleep she has let him slip in under her guard but she cannot give up. She soars skyward as he closes from behind. The beautiful creatures rise quickly shooting above the clouds into the bright thin morning air thousands of feet above the earth.

There is a flash of sunlight off both their metallic scales as he wraps her in his powerful claws from behind. He urgently slides deep into her welcoming sex. Her wings beat trying to free herself as his wrap around her holding her helpless. Their momentum slows, as the reach the top of their arc they slowly begin to fall to earth. She shrieks out her demand to be released and her bites into her shoulder silencing her with passion. Faster they fall as he thrusts time and again into her, his great haunches flexing, to deposit his issue as deeply as possible into her fertile womb. 

She shrieks again as they break beneath the clouds and she spies the ground rushing to meet them. The wind whipping passed them mimics the bloods rushing in her ears as the great one finally takes her. 

He triumphantly roars as he feels himself swell and flood her. Her shriek joins his and together they announce the hope for a continuance of life. He begins to unwrap as the highest mountaintop shoots past. He rolls underneath waiting for her to get air to her wings before pushing off and watching her recover level flight. He turns and pulls out, one wing painfully scraping the rocky shore, inches from imminent death.

He looks for her and she is gone, gone until she brings him word of a new son.
