The Princess and the Ice Dragon (Christmas Day)
Despite growing up not celebrating Christmas it had become one of Cait's favorite surface holidays. It wasn't because of the presents, though it was nice getting things, but it was because of the special tradition she had with Ty. They spent the morning exchanging gifts with the Titans and then the afternoon was theirs.

Ty made it snow outside as always and Cait formed an ice dragon. It was time for her knight to save the princess from the ice dragon.

Its always an effort, taking a lot of compressed time and concentration - but its always worth it. The Titans are in their own giant snow globe, disengaged from the local temperatures and weather. Its even 'snowed' right to somehow produce natural snow walls, sledding hills and the other necessities for one snow day a year.

The dragon is more intricate than any of it, of course, and all Cait's. Ty, in turn, focuses intently on building Cait a new Tiara, composed of individual snowflakes fused together, tip to tip, so delicate that it should break or melt at the slightest contact - were each piece not virtually locked in time, to prevent it.

And then, his sword - a necessity for any good knight. He offers her her crown, and then moves into position to be her rescuer.

	Cait kissed his cheek before he went into battle. She stared at the crown when he gave it to her. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Diamonds didn't compare. She gave him a kiss before he went to face the dragon. The dragon, now completely formed, reared and sent out a spray of ice at Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He did the crown the first year - and thought she should have another this one. He had a different surprise he was focused on last year.

Meanwhile, as it breathes, he realizes, amidst working on the crown, he forgot something else - a shield!

"Whoa..." he calls, in un-knight like fashion, diving and rolling out of the way, with a slash of the sword to ward it from follow up too quick.

	"You forgot your shield, Sir Knight," Cait said and quickly made him a shield. "One cannot fight the dragon without a shield." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My thanks, good lady!" he calls, saluting her with his sword, and telekinesing the shield over to himself, spinning to face the dragon again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled and waved. The dragon sprayed another blast of ice and large feet stomped on the ground. An ice tail whipped around to lash at Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time, he blocks the dragon breath with the shield, leaping over the tail and away from the shattering ground - using that momentum to carry himself closer to the dragon's flank - so he can take a better stab towards one shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The sword blow struck true and chunks of ice broke free and went flying. The dragon's tail whipped at Ty while a claw of ice tried to slash him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty doesn't cheat with powers too much for these. The tail hits him while he blocks the claw, sending him flying into a snowbank. He emerges again, feinting towards the body, and slashing towards the clawed foot he expects to come at him in response. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon swiped with his foot and found a few claws hacked off as Ty's sword met dragon foot. The dragon reared up and tried to squish Ty beneath the good foot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There may just be the tiniest bit of super speed involved with darting out of the way of the foot, and forward, trying to drive his sword into its chest while its reared up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon's foot came down and missed Ty. The sword plunged into the dragon's chest. The dragon shuddered and then collapsed into a pile of ice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty turns, and salutes the Princess, then flies over to her and kneels before her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "Rise, sir knight. We are grateful for the rescue from the ice dragon. Name your reward and it shall be yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty sets his sword and shield in the snow, and steps forward for his reward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait did a very un-princess-like thing and wrapped her arms around him and gave him a very deep kiss. Definitely not something her court tutors would approve of. Then again lately she had been doing quite a few things they wouldn't approve of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the deep kiss, dipping her low, holding her tight to him. "Mmm, now that we've overcome the dragon, did we want to let the others enjoy their snow day, and go find movies and pizza?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-01-05 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a wonderful plan, my love." It was part of tradition after all. Dragon fighting was always followed by pizza and movies. Cait would never turn down pizza. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, concentrating a few moments, forming the remnants of the dragon to take the form of a coach instead, using some yellow energy to give it fully moving parts on a small detail level - with ring-conctruct coachman and doorman, the latter opening it up for her. "Your chariot awaits, m'lady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're too kind, my prince," Cait said. She held out a hand to him. "Shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes her hand, and helps her up the steps into the carriage - for her comfort, it doesn't fly, but makes pretty good time back to the house. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-01-05 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Cait held onto his hand during the ride back. Words couldn't express enough how much she loved Ty. "Where should we get the pizza from?" she asked as they exited the carriage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It could be pretty much anywhere. No one can really deliver here anyway, so I'd have to go get it. Anything sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
