Ariel.. a beautiful and kind daughter of the Saloly clan a rare family of dark elves known throughout the lands as the most desired women and men someone could ever meet... Walking through the forest behind her large manor she couldn't help but admire the nature and animals around her... if only she knew what was going to happen to her in only a few moments... Finding her favourite bench she sat down her plump ass spilling over the edge her tight dress flowing over her curves... she sighed twirling a strand of her beautiful white hair. "How lovely.. ahh fresh air.." Little did she know.. something was watching her just a few steps away.. something... inhuman..

Ariel gasps, heart pounding in fear as she sees the little blue dragon! She's never seen a dragon up close before and they always were spoken of with such awe and wonder... yet this one is so small.. what kind of monster could it be? What does it want from her? Her eyes dart around trying to find something, anything she can use as a weapon but finding nothing on the pristine forest floor...

"Um..." Ariel manages to squeak out, swallowing hard. "I-I'm sorry if I've disturbed you." She gulps nervously. "You should go back where you came from, dragon... monster," she says shaking. "Please don't hurt me..." Her hands clasp tightly together in front of her chest, hoping he won't notice how much she's shivering.

The

"W-What do you mean?" She asks hesitantly, looking down at the little blue dragon. Her heart still races in fear but now there's a hint of curiosity as well. "Y-You can't be tame... can you? You're just toying with me!" Ariel carefully reaches out a hand and gently strokes his head, wondering what would happen if she tried to pet him more roughly.

"M-Mommy?!" Ariel gasps, eyes widening as the blue dragon identifies her as its mother! Her heart lurches in her chest and she withdraws her hand hastily, taking a step back from him. "N-No... I'm not your mother..." She stammers nervously, feeling an odd mixture of panic and tenderness for the small dragon. "I don't even know what you want from me."

Her gaze flicks between his tiny form and the expanse of forest beyond him, wondering if this is some sort of cruel trick nature has played on her...

"M-Me?!" She stammered again, unsure of what to say. Her heart clenched at the sound of his confusion and desire for comfort, but part of her was still scared and not wanting to admit it. "I... I don't know..." A tear slipped down her cheek as she looked down at him, torn between fear and compassion.

She slowly knelt beside the dragon, reaching out a hesitant hand to stroke his head once more. "It's just that you look so small and fragile," she whispered, her voice trembling. "And I don't want anything bad to happen to you... but what do I know? I'm just a dark elf maiden..."

Ariel paused, looking into his orange eyes as she waited for his reaction, hoping he wouldn't mistake her hesitation for rejection.

"Yes..." She says softly. "My name is Ariel... what do they call you?" She asks with a gentle voice, her hand continuing to stroke his head gently. The little blue dragon was starting to feel safer now that she was near, and he found himself liking the way she smelled and sounded.

A small smile tugs at her lips as she watches him, hoping that this strange encounter might not be so bad after all... but deep down, there's still a part of her that wonders what kind of monster could possibly think it was natural to mistake her for a dragon's mother.

She doesn't want to push too hard, though; maybe if she just goes along with this, everything will be alright... at least for now.

Ariel smiles down at him as he closes his eyes and thinks about it. "Zen... that's a lovely name," she whispers, her hand continuing to stroke his head in soft circles. She can feel her heart melting a little more with each passing moment, the fear slowly giving way to an odd sort of affection for this small, fragile creature that thinks she's its mother.

She decides not to correct him just yet, figuring it would be better to let him believe what makes him happy... at least until they can figure out who - or rather, what - he really is. "So, little Zen..." She begins, her voice soothing as she studies his face. "What brings you all the way out here?"

Ariel's heart clenches at the mention of his siblings, and she nods slowly as if this information doesn't surprise her. "Well, you seem to be in luck then," she says with a warm smile. "I can tell that your mommy would love nothing more than for you to be safe and happy." She hesitates for a moment, thinking about how best to phrase things, then continues, "And I think... I could make sure of that, if you'd like."

Her hand presses against his head more firmly now, as if she were making a promise. Her own curiosity about who this little blue dragon really is grows stronger by the second, but for now, all she can focus on is how much she wants to take care of him... no matter what anyone else might think or say.

She tilts her head, studying his features as he gazes up at her with those adorable

She couldn't help but smile as the tiny blue dragon yawned, then curled up in her arms, seemingly trusting her completely. A shiver of delight runs down her spine at his words, and she gently rocks back and forth, bouncing him lightly with each movement. "You're welcome, little one," she whispers, feeling an intense surge of protectiveness well up inside her. "Just relax... mommy will take care of everything."

Her other hand comes to rest on his back, gently scratching at the soft scales there. A memory floods through her mind: playing with her own siblings as a child, tickling and teasing them until they laughed their heads off. Perhaps she could do that with Zen... if he was old enough, of course.

For now, all that mattered was keeping him safe and content. A warm feeling spreads through her chest

As the tiny blue dragon Zen fell asleep in her arms, Ariel couldn't help but feel a sense of profound contentment wash over her. Her eyes drift shut as she focuses on his soft breathing and the steady beat of his heart against her skin. It's as if he's become an extension of herself, a part of her that she never knew was missing.

She knows this is probably all just a game to him, but for now... it doesn't matter. She will play along, and enjoy every moment of being his caretaker and protector. Her hand continues to stroke his back gently, soothingly, as if imprinting on her the memory of his soft, scaly skin.

Time passes unnoticed as they sit together in the forest glade, Ariel lost in a world where only Zen exists. In this moment, there is no darkness or fear; only

As they arrive at her manor, Ariel carries the tiny blue dragon into her bedroom and carefully sets him down on her plush bed. She looks down at him with a mixture of tenderness and curiosity, wondering what sort of creature he truly is. But for now, all that matters is making sure he's comfortable and safe while they figure things out together.

Ariel takes off her delicate silver necklace, unfastens the tiny golden charm hanging from it, and presses it into Zen's hand. "This belonged to my grandmother," she says softly. "It's very precious to me... but I want you to have it for now. Just until we know where you really belong."

She waits anxiously for his reaction, hoping he doesn't think she's giving him something of value because she expects anything in return. All she wants is for him to be happy and
