"I'd like to say I've been in weirder situations, but I really haven't."

I sheathed my sword as the silver dragon retracted her claws. I looked over the entrance to the tower and said, "Alright, clearly there's something else going on here, so I vote we cooperate long enough to figure things out and get our respective princesses back. So, truce?"

The dragon grunted. "Fine, truce. My name's Kala, by the way."

I bowed and responded back, "Captain Catherine of the royal guard. Now come on. If your princess was taken too, the guilty party likely expects you to fly up to the top. We'll take the stairs. Hopefully, they're only prepared for one of us to be coming up that way."

Kala nodded and crouched down as a cloud of smoke with a metallic scent surrounded her. Once it dissipated, Kala was now bearing the form of a woman with golden hair and piercing green eyes. Before I could stop myself, I blurted out, "Oh crap, you're hot."

I clamped a hand over my mouth as Kala blushed bright red and awkwardly said, "We, uh...we should get going." I nodded and opened up the door for the both of us. Thankfully, the awkwardness faded quickly as Kala and I fell into a conversation that lasted us the entire trek to the top. Once it dawned on us that we hadn't encountered a single trap since we got here, we readied up for a fight.

Kala broke down the door and I presented my sword, only for the both of us to stop and stare in confusion at the sight before us. Spread out across the ground was a picnic blanket weighed down with sandwiches, fruit, a charcuterie board, a bottle of wine, and macarons. Pouring the wine into glasses was Princess Lucille and a woman who I assume was the dragon princess Morrigan. Morrigan beamed and cried out, "Kala, you made it!" As Kala went in to hug Morrigan, I sheathed my sword again and asked, "Uh, what's going on?"

Lucille giggled and handed me a glass. "It's a date, silly!"

Kala abruptly pulled away from Morrigan and replied, "What?"

Morrigan kissed Kala on the cheek. "Backstory time! So, me and Lucille have been friends since that inter-kingdom meeting, and when I told her you and I were thinking about adding other people to our relationship, she had the idea of putting together all this for a nice little date!"

I tilted my head in confusion. "Okay, but, why did you drag me into this if you just wanted you just wanted some time with your dragon girlfriend and potential human girlfriend?"

Lucille cracked up but stopped when she saw my expression. "My God, you're serious. Cathy, I've been in love with you for nine years."

"No seriously, what's the--mmmmmph!"

Lucille cut me off by yanking me into a passionate kiss. Once I was allowed to come up for air, I ended up spilling my wine as I said, "Okay, I think I believe you now."

Lucille dragged me down onto the blanket and pushed me up against Morrigan. "Now you two get to know each other while me and Kala get acquainted."

And so, we talked, flirted, and ate the rest of the day away, thoroughly enjoying each other's company.

Was not expecting a polycule. And am not disappointed.

It was a prompt about two princesses and two knights, half of which were dragons. It was destined to turn into a polycule

Yup. Fate, destiny, the whims of the universe, we qll knew that this was going to happen in one submission. You just got to it first and before everyone else could respond. I think that we may already have a winner right here.

Saw it coming a mile away, still a nice story though.

Am thinking about the same thing. Two princesses that supposedly got kidnapped? Surely they are dating or elope together.

Oh this’ll be good. Commenting to check back later because the Follow button for posts does not exist on Mobile.

It exists for me unless we're thinking of different buttons. Mine looks like a bell that notifies you of a new base comment.

Where the bell used to sit on Mobile there's now two lines with one dot each on opposite ends. Tapping that will allow me to sort through the comments like New or Best and so on. No idea where the Bell icon is on mobile now.

Man that sucks. It looks like I don't have the latest update then. That notification feature is great and should bring it back.
