Page 39 of Dragon Untamed

"Plasma Dragons are a rare breed. Any combination of dragons can create a child who will blossom into a Plasma Dragon. The most potent combo for this to happen is Plasma with another Plasma.

Any child born from a Plasma Dragon may experience a higher power potency than another child of their breed.Children who do not have a Plasma but have a Plasma parent have been known to have the power, stamina, and shifting speed of a Plasma, but inside of their Storm, Terrain, Ember, Breeze, or Tidal form. This does not mean they will wield Plasma magic, but they have the strength of one.

If a child emerges with a Plasma dragon and is born of a fated mate pairing, it has been known for the child to gain an exceptional amount of power once their dragon emerges. It has been witnessed by the child with a Plasma Dragon to gain enough power to rule over Dragaal."Beckett read from the pages.

"That's it?" Esen deadpanned.

"Yeah."

"Well, that's not a lot of fucking information at all!" Esen growled.

"You're telling me. Is there anything in your book that mine didn't cover?" Beckett asked him.

Esen flipped through a few pages while skimming for details. He shook his head and flipped a few more. It took a few minutes before Esen opened the page and vocalized an "Ah ha!"

"A Plasma Dragon has been known to hold extraordinary power. When one has emerged, it is to be celebrated as if a new heir to the throne has been born due to the power it wields and how it can bring dragons in line.

It has also been known that a Plasma Dragon needs several dragons to watch over them. In Dragon culture, a Plasma Dragon is female. There have been reports of several Plasma Dragons being mated to three to five males and one from each species. This is so the Plasma line is carried through all breeds."

Beckett stared at Esen as the words washed over him. There it was. This is an answer to the question of why Arlo and Esen felt drawn to Kaida regardless of her being mated to him. It was normal for a Plasma to have more than one.

But three to five? That means Blaze does feel the pull to her, too. And why she was fated to Enzo. He was a strong Storm Dragon; we are all the strongest Elementals.

However, did Beckett want to share Kaida with that many people? He just found her. He hasn't even had time to really get to know her and spend time with her just to himself. Arlo and Esen weren't planning to fight the pull any longer. They wanted their fated mate, too.

The more Beckett thought about it, the more he realized that he was being selfish. If Kaida was destined for more than one to keep her safe and continue the Plasma line, who was he to stop that from happening? Once that rolled through his head, the feeling of sharing didn't seem to be that big of a deal. He wasn't even jealous of his friends trying to pine for his mate. He didn't feel sorry for them either.

I guess I never did. This feels... natural. I guess it should if she has been destined for us all.

When Beckett looked at his two friends, they both shared the same look. They were waiting for Beckett to respond to what they just learned. Hell, they probably expected Beckett to become angry that he would have to share Kaida with them. If it were Blaze in this position, that is probably how it would have gone down.

"Well, it's there in black and white. Kaida was prone to multiple mates from the start. That's why you two are drawn to her. Blaze probably is, too, but he just won't admit it."

Arlo cocked an eyebrow. "You aren't mad?"

Beckett mulled around on it again, paying attention to how his body and dragon reacted. There was no response from his dragon. In fact, his dragon accepted it well before Beckett did.

"No. I don't need to be. Kaida seems to need more than what I can give. She is a Plasma, after all. First one in a millennium. She needs protection; after what I saw today, she needs much morethan I thought. Maybe if she has more mates, we can keep her calm, and the entire island won't be destroyed because she lost control."

"Yeah, what happened today anyway?" Alro inquired as he flipped through the book pages in front of him.

"I have no clue. We were going on a flight around the island. She noticed something on the peninsula. Then she went berserk. I tried my best to distract her, but this black mist was there, and she must have breathed it in. I stayed in the air so it wouldn't touch me, but whatever it was, it disappeared after Kaida's dragon went nuclear on it."

"Looked like Nathan was going to go nuclear today, too. Was he out there with you all or something?"

Beckett shook his head. "No. I didn't see anyone out there. If they came into contact with it, I didn't see when."

Esen made a face as he thought about it. Beckett wanted to make a joke that he was smelling smoke, and Esen should stop overloading his brain but thought better of it. This was the longest the two of them had spent time together in a while. He didn't want to ruin it.

"Looks like something we will have to do some recon on. If it touches anyone else, we will have a problem," Esen told him.

"Maybe that's what got into the others that we were told about earlier, too," Arlo suggested.

"What do you mean?" Beckett asked him.

"A citizen approached us when we were in town. They said that people were being a bit irritable lately. People that aren't normally like that, too. The guy was concerned about it, and we said we would investigate it. Now, I think it might be what you encountered. If it made Nathan want to attack a Lycan, that would explain everyone else starting issues when they are normally good people," Arlo rationalized.

"That just sounds insane. What is this stuff, anyway? What could possibly change someone's temperament and make them start issues out of nowhere?" Beckett pondered.
