Ever wondered what TAZ Balance would be like if Barry Bluejeans were secretly a dragon? That’s what The Last Bond Dragon series is about. We’ve retold the entire podcast with all the differences having a Bond Dragon on board might make. The series starts with Lup wanting to meet the dragon she’s seen around and dragging her ol’ pal Barold along for the hunt.
Now, in part 11, even with every advantage on their side, Lup and Barry face the hardest challenge yet in a cycle like no other.
Over the bond, Taako cleared his throat and genteely interrupted.
*Hey, you two, quit flirting with each other and listen up: We’ve discovered a large city. It’s pretty massive, and there’s this weird Fantasy George Orwell vibe to it. We’re gonna swing around it and…Oh shit!*
Lup felt her brother’s alarm as if it were right there, hitting her in the face, and she nearly dropped from the sky. Because a second later, his end of the bond went dark.*Taako? TAAKO?!*

Chapter five is up! Major stuff happening! 6500+ words in this chonky beefy chapter!
(Also, for a few minutes there I’d messed up what I pasted into the chapter so if you briefly saw a 10k long chapter that started the same as last chapter that’s cause I’m dumb. Fixed now!)

Read Seeing Red, part 10 of The Last Bond Dragon series here:
Keith is a dragon who can turn into human, and Shiro is his partner, in sky and heart.
The two don’t stay in a place for too long out of fear of someone discovering Keith’s secret; least go into any town: too much people, and the less focus Keith is, the most likely to turn dragon he is.
‘Patience yields-’
‘Focus, I know, Shiro.’
During one of their trips they meet Allura on a tavern: She’s friendly and the three of them quickly fall into conversation. Well, Shiro and Allura do, Keith prefers to listen and eventually comment.
She tells them she’s the princess of Altea and heir to the throne. Yet, what surprises Shiro and Keith the most is that she’s also the Head of the Army.
‘How can I allow others to risk their lives in battle for our kingdom and not do so myself,’ she says.
They each go their way, Keith and Shiro were visiting a friend in a nearby town and Allura was going back home after a long quest to kill a dragon.
Nor Shiro nor Keith comment on that, despite being uncomfortable of their new friend being a dragon-killer.
They cross paths once in a while, and the more they cross paths, the fonder they grow of each other.
Until one day, the three of them sleep together.
Yet, as usual, they each go their way.
It’s only months later that they meet her again.
As their enemy.
She’s commanding an army that’s trying to kill some dragons flying around; Ulaz and Thace, Shiro told Keith.
‘Good dragons,’ Keith growls. ‘She must be stopped.’
And so, Keith flies off to save his own with Shiro as his Paladin.
Normally, a dragon would never form a bond with a human, but Keith’s trust towards him was what made him do it. To this day, Shiro’s grateful of it.
And it’s because Keith believes in him that Shiro tells him to just grab Allura and take her to a place where they can all talk in peace.
Keith is adamant after seeing her eyes from afar.
‘She really hates us. If you tell her that some of us can turn human, she’ll hunt us down when we can’t transform back.’ Keith says slowly.
‘No. We know her. She’s a good person and a great commander, she’s just mislead about this. If we can explain and convince her, this may be our chance for you to have a home. You and all good dragons!’
‘Shiro, you have to consider that there’re more dangers than perks to this…’
Still, Shiro has his mind set up. He is convinced this might help the dragons not only from this kingdom, but also from many more. This is just one step to them being finally free of fear.
Shiro regrets telling her: after being grabbed by Keith’s claws and taken to the woods alone andfinding out the truth about them, her anger blinds her.
She swears to kill them and leaves to call for back-up.
Shiro is torn, he really trusted her. But he knows that by now she must be leaving to the Kingdom’s capital to letting her father, King Alfor, know about this secret of theirs.
Shiro and Keith make sure Thace and Ulaz are safe and say their goodbyes.
They return to the inn and Shiro lays on the bed. He sighs and apologies with Keith for making him go through that experience. Keith just cuddles next to him.
Seven days pass.
Seven days of hiding from Allura’s rage.
They are napping before departing.
They’ve stayed for too long, Shiro thinks as he tries to blink the sleepiness away.
He notices Keith is still sleeping by his side when he feels a presence beside him.
‘Don’t move.’ Allura warns.
She’s standing beside their bed with a knife in her hand. ‘Why did you tell me about… him?’
Shiro is not sure what she’s planning, so he carefully sits up. ‘Because we know you are a good leader and a greater person, also we care about you. You deserved to know the truth.’
‘Dragons are evil. They destroy everything they come across with.’ She hurries to say.
‘Allura, you don’t soundconvinced.’
‘He’s one of them. He's…’ She says, pointing at Keith with her knife.
‘Yes. And no.’ Shiro says, while slowly pressing his hand to the hand that’s holding the knife.
‘He was born like this, yes. But being a dragon doesn’t equal to being evil. The same way that being from human doesn’t equal to being good.’
Shiro feels Keith stir; he’s waking up and the last thing Shiro wants it’s for him to think he has to be guarded when sleeping -not again.-
‘Allura,please. You know him, you know us. Not all dragons are bad. He is not.’
She glares and then her hand twitches.
She slowly puts her knife down just in time for Keith to open his eyes.
‘Mnnshiro?’
‘I’m here.’
‘Mmm…’ Shiro scoffs, Keith really is a sleepyhead.
‘Keith.’ Allura firmly says.
That wakes Keith up.
He stares at her and Shiro can tell exactly the moment he saw her knife, as he freezes ready to attack if necessary.
She notices Keith looking at her knife and brings it close to her chest.
‘This knife… belonged to my mother. She had it with her when a dragon-’ Allura stops, trying to hold the tears. Shiro and Keith fill the gap and Shiro feels Keith trying to relax. ‘I'm… the dragons took my mother away. Took many of my people… But.’ She takes a deep breath and continues. ‘But youdidn’t, Keith. Not you. And I’m-’ Another deep breath. ‘I’m sorry I let my anger led my actions. I’m sorry for what I said to you. I wanted to hate you but, but I love you. Both.’
Shiro says nothing. In this case, although he’s elated to hear Allura’s words, he concedes the first words to Keith.
A minute goes by and Keith says:
‘Were you planning this?’
Huh?
‘Huh? I… don’t understand.’
‘I asked, whether-’
‘Not that! I heard you! But what is it that you think I planned?’
‘I accept your apologies. I understand it must’ve been hard for you. But you saying those words here, undressed as we are… Were you planning this, Princess?’
Just then, both, Shiro and Allura, realise what Keith is implying.
Allura’s face goes red and Shiro can’t help how cute it is.
‘Well,’ Shiro says, ‘she surely is an expert strategist. And who are we to deny her from hers plans to succeed?’
‘Wait! Shiro I didn’t pla-’
‘Well now you did.’
‘You forgave me so quick… Were you never angry with me? After all I did and said to you?’
Keith looks at her for a while and says:
‘No, not angry. Hurt… yes.’
‘I’m-’
‘No need. I told you, I understand how hard it’s for you. I value more you having apologised.’
‘Thank you, Keith. Also, I have a favour to ask.’
‘Ask away.’
‘The dragons I was… trying to kill. Do you know them?’
‘Yes…’ Shiro sees Keith is trying to say this in a way that doesn’t add up to Allura’s guilt, but she still needs to hear it. ‘They… raised me. So I know them well.’
Shiro is not surprised when Allura gasps in surprise. Yet, she composes herself and says:
‘Good. Can you arrange a meeting?’
‘Allura-’
‘So that I can publicly arrange a formal apology to them.’
Shiro would probably be laughing at Keith’s expression if his weren’t the same.
‘Princess… Are you sure? Not many are open to the idea of dragons being good yet and to do such a leap-’
‘Yes, I am certain. My people has done enough damage as it is. It is time that we do this, if we want peace between us.’
‘I’ll contact the Blade of Marmora and let them know of your proposal.’ Keith announces, ‘Though can’t promise anything.’
‘I know. Thank you, both.’ She says and kisses them each on their lips.
