Ahhh… Cool, crisp cavern water…
It’s been too long! Last time we went for a dip was in Mahogany!
I like travel as much as the next guy, but I’ve been starved,
Sliding around that ice cave still can’t compare with swimming!

Mhm, yehehehes…
the water feels so good against my belly…
I don’t think I’m in here alone either,
there’s several of those big red dumdums with me, I can see ‘em!
Funny-looking things- WOAH! Ohoh, that tickled!
Something thin and slippery just trailed past me like it had somewhere to be!
My gosh, that was fast - what the heck was it?
Hmm…

Hahah…
Wow, the smell here is enchanting…
It’s as if the mist from this pool’s imbued with… something!
Something very special, like tiny flames that burn cold,
and they’re so kind to my nostrils, like the side of nature that wants me well…
It’s phenomenal, what a mystical place!

As calm as the water is, I don’t feel soothed so much as…
We’re on the right path! I feel pumped!
This road we’ve chosen is how I’m gonna be my best,
that battle made my heart pound, and I don’t wanna stop!
I can feel that vapor around, it’s magic…
I’m so happy to be here!

…AH! Another little squirmy thing!
Heheheh, maybe he likes me… Or maybe it’s one of his friends!
Wish I could get a good look at him.

Man…
It’s a pity that I can’t dip down below the surface, as much as I’d like to…
I mean I could, but I doubt the boss would appreciate that,
assuming last time is anything to go by…
I thought maybe he’d want to dive with me!
At least I know now… But I did wanna share that.
Share that little… I dunno, it would’ve been special, right?

Speaking of the boss, I… don’t know why,
but I think something about that last battle really gutted her.

I’ve never seen Ulti look so… Distraught.
Usually after a big fight, she seems over the moon!

That’s how it usually goes, ain’t it?
We ride a rough wave, the opposition goes kersplat,
the boss gets a treat, and we’re all good!

Why was it so different this time around?
We won! It was tricky, but we won for sure!
The lady with the fierce eyes didn’t act like we did though…
In fact that was the only time she wasn’t glaring.

…Dragons, huh.
Never really thought too hard about ‘em until that battle.
Ulti was so confident that our recent ventures were all the prep that we needed.
That for some reason, it’d be a cakewalk if I’d just let my breath go cold.

I can’t really say that was the case.
I spent most of it just wondering what I was up against
Wondering… What was so different.
.
They were water-dwellers!Just the same as me!
You could tell just by looking at them,
there’s nothing they’d like better than coursing through water!
Just like… Like me, surely!

But… Huh, they didn’t seem to mind the heat of that room…
I was having a bad time as soon as I hit the scene;
Who’d ever want to be that humid?!

I guess… Even if they weren’t happy about it,
maybe they tolerated it for the sake of the fight.
Were they aching to return to the water the whole time?
…Was it their home turf? Am I… weaker than they are?

What is it that makes them a dragon, exactly?
And… Why is it that I’m not one?

…Come to think of it, I think I understand how Ulti feels.

WOAH, now that’s what I’m talking about!
Just look at that cascade! Listen to that crash!
Now I know why anyone would want to come here!
You see that, boss? That’s the real thing!

Y’know, we’ve traveled so far by now,
and sometimes, I’ll see Ulti gaze up at the sky.
I guess at dusk it’ll be the setting sun,
at night it’ll be the stars or the moon…
Sometimes she’s got that little pad and… stick.
And she’ll do whatever that is and glance up every now and then.
And sometimes, I get that Ulti wants to share that with me?
They’re… They’re pretty, sure. Shiny.
But they’re quiet! Can’t hear ‘em at all!

But something like this, Ulti!
It’s pretty, of course! Beautiful!
But it’s wild and exciting and… and like FSHSHSH-!
And- and the foam splashes everywhere and it’s COOL!

You could totally whip the pad out for this one, boss!
We can stay here for hours, I’m game!
If a sleepy moon can give you the urge, surely this can!
You get to… pad for a while, and I get to watch nature having fun!
I’ve got your back, friend - pad the night away!

Gosh, it makes me so happy…
Who in their right mind could ever doubt us?
Look how powerful this thing is!
Look how it just thunders on down, it’s unstoppable!

We water beings have such potent inspiration,
It’s like… MAN, I’m descended from this, it’s crazy to think…
I got lucky enough to meet Mama Ocean on our travels,
maybe what I’m looking at is extended family!

Well, Great Uncle Waterfall, know this,
just getting to see you has me convinced I’ve gotta be better!
The pride of Water is to be unstoppable, and- and to be awesome and inspiring!
What do you reckon, Ulti? Is this it?
I think we found the reason we’re here,
how about we chill here and watch it for-

“Climb it.”

There’s a lady here in the cave with us…!
That voice came from a fair way off… I can’t see who it belongs to.
“You can’t be se…us-”
“Oh …’d b…er be…ve that I am!
Ah… Oh gosh, I think Ulti is a bit frazzled.
If you tru… …sess the h…t of a dragon,
the p… of you will ov…ome this …tacle.”
I don’t like confrontations… Do they have to argue?
Wait, what was that she said about dragons?
“This obs…le you’re …ing out of us is un…ated to our ca…ility to …tle,
and on … of that I …’t even t…k it’s f… to ask that … of Sokka!”
Yes, boss? Oh, wait-
“Enough! Your lack of fa… is tro…ing.
I beli… in …r partner and so sho… you.”
O-oh, I think they’re talking about me.
I uh… Gosh, I wish I knew what to do to help…
Ah- I think Ulti wants a word. That’s it,
lean on down and look me in the eye!
I ain’t never had a problem with closeness, boss;
You know that much about me by now, right?

“Sokka, I need you to … so…th…
Uh huh? Need me- okay?
…wanna … the Ri…g Bad…,
you’ve got… climb the w…l be…d … waterfall”
Right! I think I get it!
Ulti… Aww, I think the boss was trying to defend my pride!
Guess that lady didn’t think I could uh…
Get up the waterfall, it seems.
Well, she’s got another thing coming!

Yeah boss, it’s no problem!
You see what I’m working with?
This is the mighty Sokka of Newbark you’re talking to!
Hear me roar!

“Sokka, you’re the best, you’re a…ing,
… af… this you’re g...ing a n… … of fish.”

FISH-Oh! My my! Little kiss there and all?
Well how could I say no to that?
Leave it to me, boss!

I won’t let you down!

Alright alright alright, let’s see…
Gonna get up Great Uncle Waterfall…
…How do the sleeks usually do this?
Hmm…

Oh oh! There’s one there!
Darting along the current, there he goes and he-
Is still swimming, going up the-
GO come on man, you can do it! That’s amazing!
Keep it up, keep it up-!

Oh… Ah man, hard luck…
Hey don’t worry bud, you came close, you did great…!
…Mm.

Right so you swim…
And then you just uh,
Keep swimming?
That’s fine, I can do that! I can swim all day!
Where the water’s coming from shouldn’t matter, right?

Okay Ulti, hold on tight!
You’re gonna see just where love gets ya!

SPLASH

Ain’t no stopping me, I course like the current!
Me and the tide are one and the same!
I ain’t fighting it, the water’s my friend!
I’mma sail straight over that ridge, you watch!
YEAH! YEAH!!
Feel the flow! Look at me go!
Watch as I- OUP-YES-
More like waterrise, ha ha…!
I’m feeling it, I’m feeling it-!!
GWARK-! OOF-!!

…Hngh…
Ah, shoot…
Alright, this is gonna be tough, I get it…
It’s fine! If at first we don’t succeed…

…

…

I… I don’t get it…
That’s like the twentieth try and I’m not even close!
There’s practice and then there’s…
Ah man, is this futile…?

Ohh… Ah, damn…
I wonder if Ulti’s picked up on that…
Uh- Hey boss, what do you think?

“...Sokka, you don’t h…e k… …oing.”
Ulti, you sound really dismayed, I’m sorry…
“I th…k she’s m…king … of us-
...Wait a mi…te-!”
Oh! What’s up? Your energy’s up!
“Sokka, climb the wall!”

The wa- Oh, oh!
The rock behind the falls, gotcha!
I can climb that no problem for sure but…
Isn’t Ulti gonna get pummeled by the crashing water?
She… seems to understand that.
I never did take the boss for someone who could take blows…
Nevermind from nature.
…Sometimes I wish I could just take Ulti around in my pocket.
Alright… Let’s go!

Hangh… Argh, man I…
I really don’t envy the crag-dwellers…
It’s- HNGF- It’s rough! Rocks are so rough!
Gotta… HRNGH-LIFT the two of us up here…!
I’ve just- GAH why is this cliff so… I dunno, tricky?!
Gotta… Just remember that- UNGHF-
As hard as I have it… Ulti has it harder…
This… Mnfgh- HGN- Is what I can give to the boss,
As… Fhoooo… As a stronger being…
A stronger form I guess should say… MCHM.
I’ve got the body… Ulti-GFHN got the brains!
It’s- OWCH- IT’S a partner-TEAM. We are a TEAM.
And I need to give… MY BODY- Much as I can-!!
So we can GET. UP. THIS-
GGGFFFRGH- HANH-!!

Haaah… Hnah… Mng-
I… I think we made it, boss…
…Boss? Ulti, are you there?
Ah-She is, I can hear her breathing…
It’s… Ngh, it’s loud… It’s strained…
Ulti… Hey. Talk to me, come on…

“...Sokka…
OH-! Yes, boss! Present!
we m… it. W…e at t… …op.
You… D… the t…g and y… did it …ll.
Yes Ulti, I’m here, I can hear you…
Good job, buddy.”

Hah… That’s what it’s all about…
I’ll do anything so long as you tell me I did well in the end, boss…
And hey, don’t you neglect the fact you tanked all that rushing water!
I know fine well how much you don’t- NGH-CHK-
Like pressurized water in your face, y’goof!
Hah… But you did so anyway, brave thing you are…
It was worth it - We’re here now.
…
Here in- Wait…
Why were we-
”Ahahah…”
NGH- Gah, that rattled me! I forgot about her…!
“...st a…sing, but a su…ess.
I’m g…d th… of you …ld ma… it.”

It’s… It’s that lady! From the big fight!
But- Wait, is that what humans look like ungarbed…?
She… Wasn’t like that earlier on, was she?
No, I could’ve sworn she had dark wings…
Must’ve been wing-effect human garb I guess, huh…
…
Woah… She looks beautiful like this…
So sleek and supple, so… uncomplicated,
with how humans usually adorn themselves…
I like it… I like it a lot.
…
…What does it mean?

T…’s j… what I l…e t…ee.
Two dragons.”

Well… If she was berating us beforehand, she sure isn’t now…
I’d guess the lady would have to stay stood up and… Loom over us.
But- No, that’s not it. She’s come down to our level, onto her knees…
She… Is that a kiss? She’s giving the boss a kiss?
Oh- no, I think she’s whispering something to Ulti, right…
…I wish people would let me know what’s going on, I feel so-
O-oh…! I… Guess she wanted Ulti’s… backend raised up…!
Gosh, I’m surprised Ulti has the energy to stay posed like that,
I can see her leg quaking a little bit…
…Why’s the boss taking orders from this woman anyhow?
She shouldn’t have to, it’s in the title!
Maybe… Ah, maybe it’s having your leg stroked like that,
I guess that’d make me a little more suggestible too-

Goodness me-! That’s some-
Right right, I see now, the lady’s keen…!
Got her face all up in Ulti’s butt like that, wow…!
I didn’t know humans could be so forward…
Ulti’s bright red. Gosh, when’s the last time I saw her like that?
…This is so interesting. I… I wonder…

The lady seems to be-
“Ooohh… Mm-gh… Clair…!”
Clair! Okay, okay, her name’s Clair! Right!
Clair really is savoring the moment! …Or the taste, who knows?
Mhuhuh… That tongue… Heck it may as well be a dragon’s!
And it glides with such… Grace and delicate care…
I think the walls of the cave are bringing out a gleam in it, it’s… Magic.
Gosh… What an amount of care that… That Clair’s giving to Ulti’s body-
Oh lord with the little flick of her tongue when she stops at the tailbone-
I… I could watch this forever, I’m captivated…

She-...Clair is… She’s angling.
…Y-yes, I think she’s doing that on purpose, she’s pointing her-
Yep that’s her backside and she wants it near me…
Oh she smells good. She smells REAL good, do I-
Ulti? Ulti, what’s going on? Orders, boss?
This Clair looks so delectable…
Her sex shares that shimmer of her tongue, and- And I think…
I think I really WANT her scent closer to me and-
She nodded. Oh… gosh, I wish I understood these feelings…

Oh what the heck, I can’t resist-
MHHGGGHHOOAR- C’MERE, LADY-

Nnngfh- ANFGH, gimme that.
Clair. CLAIR. Come to me.
I ain’t trained to resist human pussy, like-
Get all my tongue up and around that, span it-
MNFGHMN. Give me that. I NEED IT-
Gosh, did I scare her?
Sokka, your teeth are far bigger and your arms are far stronger,
give the lady a break, you could rip her in two!
No, she ain’t scared surely not - look at that!
Her eyes just went wide but there’s no way that’s fear!
Get back- Get back in there, get in-
WHAT IS THIS WOMAN’S TASTE.
I… I don’t understand how someone can taste like this-
How is a human capable of tasting like… Like-
Like that FLAME VAPOR I felt in the cavern earlier?!
Is this sweat, is this… Is this HUMAN?
I need more I need more I need more-
SORRY- Ulti, I… I pulled her away a little too hard, I’m sorry!
She needs to be able to reach you- HahAH, now if it were me I could no problem!
Mhmhm, teach me to do that I’ll do it anytime you want-
Screw it, I’ll lean in, get positioned to please the boss-
MGHRRROOAAR-Give Ulti more tongue, lady.
…Clair. You have a name, I know it.
You have a pussy, I need it. Gimme-
THAT’S IT- That’s it, we all happy?
We’re ALL happy right, I can hear you moaning, boss.
Well guess what, I’mma make her moan louder.
See it’s all good for you, you got to take her on at the big fight,
I had to settle for her buds and- And LORD-
How you like that croc tongue, Clair? What’s that, you love it?
You love a tongue that FILLS you, OHHHohoh, I wouldn’t have guessed!
You can have it, y’know. You can SO have it, just as long as you’re willing to share that…
That VAPOR or whatever it is, the stuff that… MNNFFGHHH-
The stuff that has me utterly convinced that you’re- GNFNFH-
Oh you’re a human are you? Walk and talk like one? Garb yourself like one?
Well you’re not, you’re a dragon. You ARE a dragon,
nothing else could explain that there’s fire in your scent,
down to your very essence it feel like WE’RE your people-
OPEN UP MY JAW AND GET MY TONGUE DEEPER INSIDE YOU-
NO, I AIN’T GONNA CRUSH YOU. I COULD. BUT I WON’T-
BECAUSE, as I was sayin’ you’re… You’re a dragon, Clair, like we are.
We climbed that waterfall, we did it together-
MGGGHGHHRRR-I am SO HARD right now I NE- ATTENTION- HANH-
DGH- W-ULTI…?

That’s not- NOPE that isn’t Clair bending freaky, that’s-
Oh ULTI, you’d see to me like this?!
Boss, I… I had no idea you were so willing…!
I… GOSH, I’m all aflutter now, this is… this is NEWS…!
There she is…! Down there, all… Wrangling my fella with her mouth, HAH-...!
I don’t believe this is really happening, that’s… GO ON, BOSS!
YOU CAN DO IT, I’m big but… Heck if there’s anyone who can tame my form it’s you!
Do what you can, it’s-! MMMNGH- If the tip goes warm and the rest froze to the breeze,
That’s far more than I’d ever have expected you to do for me, I-
MNNNFGH- CLAIR. YOU. WITH THE IDEA AND THE-
C’MERE, LEMME SHOW YOU JUST WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME.
MNFHGGH-MMFNFNGH-TONGUE. ALL TONGUE, YOU’RE GETTING TONGUE, YOU-
You’re some kind of genius or something ‘cuz…
I didn’t know this was how to wring the TRUTH out of Ulti, like-
Like what DREW you to this, why us, why- oh why NOT is more like it,
questions are dumb and I can’t ask ‘em to you and what I CAN give is tongue and-
HAVE IT. HAVE TONGUE, have tongue all the fuckin’ day long, Clair.
I’m tracing every part of your sex via tongue today and MAYBE I’ll have some way of-
MMNGFH- Some way of talking to you meaningfully so MAYBE you’ll hear me thank you-
Thank you for- For the BOSS who’s contending with my prick just like…
Like it makes SENSE or something…! Like who could’ve seen-
HEY. ULTI. GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. IT’S WAY DIFFERENT THAN-
JUST KIDDING, IT’S MORE COCK. IT’S… MORE. OF IT. MORE-
More than you can take frankly oh god, sorry, I…. I got a little ahead of myself!
Are you okay- MNFGH- Okay, gotcha boss- KEEN! I LIKE IT- I LOVE IT,
I love every tiny little change of shape your mouth’s willing to take to…
To handle your big fuckin’ lug of a partner, eh? Isn’t that NEAT?
Much as I wish I could see you I don’t NEED to,
I can feel your mouth trying to accommodate me and- AND-
And this is all I need, Clair, you… You woman from another world,
I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned just from being here and-
YEAH I can’t tell you- you don’t understand me, so understand this!!
Understand clutch of tooth and claw that- that- I’m JUST to say not tempted
to nip too hard down on and REND YOU IN TWO, WHICH I COULD-
ULTI. CLOSER. GET- FOLLOW MY TAIL, GET IN THERE CLOSER-
I DON’T CARE IF YOU CAN’T FIT ME IN, JUST… NFFGGH-
DO SOMETHING- Get it all up against your cheek or something just…
Get close to me, real close… Get in up against me, I want this shape TIGHTER-
I’ve been shown something today that I ain’t willing to let-
LET GO OF, FUCK- THE- THAT THING YOU DO WITH YOUR TONGUE IS UNFAIR-
FFFFFFUCK, STOP IT, THAT’S TOO MUCH- I PROMISE I’LL NEVER-
SORRY ULTI- Didn’t mean to clip you, I just… Was that what Clair was feeling?!
…WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, she hasn’t struck me with her foot yet, so-
SO- MORE. MORE SHE’S GETTING MORE, AND I- OH FUCK-

I’M IN LOVE, THIS IS IT.
I can’t take it anymore, it’s- It’s love.

Where am I cumming, I can’t… Ulti, if you’re still…
Yeah, I heard her cough, I… Oh gosh, what happened…

Ulti’s…

“Hahah… He… ere…

Good job, right buddy?”

Hanh… Hahah…
H-Hell yeah you did, Ulti…
You did great… Hah… Mn.
All I could’ve asked you to do, and…

Hooooh, I… That was amazing…
I hah… I like being a dragon…
Nothing really compares, to be true…

Mghn… Oh-
Clair? That’s, that’s Clair-
She’s standing up… Somehow, heh!
…Oh no, is this the loom I was worried about?

”As the l…er of the B…kt…n C… …m,
I de… …e two of you w…hy of the Rising Badge.”

The Rising- Oh! She let her hair down!...
It just… Came free when she handed Ulti that-
…
Oh… I see.
…
She uh… Hah, she looks good with her hair down…
Very… Heheh, you know what lady? Just walk among monsters,
they’re clearly your type… Heeheehee…

Ah, gosh…
I feel so complete…

…
Hey there, “boss”, hahah…
Congrats on- HMHM- Sorry-
Congrats on… Lifting your arm up after all that…!

Heheheh, yeah the badge looks nice, I know.
Eighth one, last one, very good- I love you.
Yeah, look at me all coy, like you don’t know, but-

“So, partner…

…Huh?

Ready for the League?”
