I looked more at what seemed to be talking to me, but it seemed to be obscuring its image, or so I thought. A large yellow eye opened and a wave of power rocked through the space we were in. That's when I understood I was in front of a mighty creature. Which was followed by a chuckle of sorts.
“Humorous as ever. I want to talk, Lost.” The figure replied.
“Well you have been. Is there something specific you want to talk about? Cause I can talk about chocolate all you want.” I replied.
“Why, chocolate?” The figure inquired.
“Well chocolate is the best thing in existence. It's a simple choice, with no contest.” I said, getting a bit bored of our conversation.
I turned around looking around curiously. I wanted to see where this was or where we were. I didn't recognise any of the stars or anything distinct. We really seemed far away from home. I noticed I didn't move much but I could orientate myself in any way, so I started spinning. The figure didn't talk much for a while, just seemed amused with my antics. Eventually I stopped and faced him again.
“So, you know my name, but I don't know yours. Most dragons or gods if they are stuck up enough usually use their name like it means something when they want something from me. Do you want something from me?” I asked, just then realizing I was upside down.
“I am the King.” The voice replied.
“A king huh? Doesn't seem much to be a king of around here. Unless you're the king of loneliness. In which you should have some chocolate. It helped me with being lonely.” I replied, struggling to try to orientate myself correctly.
The figure looked at me, with a mix of mild amusement and slightly started, that somehow his name didn't seem to register with me. I continued to try to orient myself currently, but ended up looking away from that king and leaned my head over backwards which allowed me to see this king again, but again upside down.
“I am afraid I have not tried chocolate yet.” The King replied.
“Well you really should. I had a favorite human that I used to go to. She would get me some of the best chocolate. I haven't seen my mom in a while though, if I had I would share some chocolate with her. I can't wait to get home and take her to get some chocolate again.” I replied, now having spoken I returned to wriggling and worming around turning how I am facing.
“Well, maybe I will have to try this chocolate you seem to love so much. Though I must say, how you have recently shaped your mana is unique.” He replied with a chuckle.
I paled slightly, I didn't think anyone saw me using my mana as serpents. I have not seen any other dragon use mana in such ways either. It normally always takes on the most basic of forms. Even gods divinity, I have yet to see take on any form other than their weapons or some unique abilities. I slowed down and faced the big figure in the distance.
“Are you The King, dragons and gods talk about? The King of dragons?” I asked curiously.
“Ahh, so you have heard of me.” The King replied.
I shuttered, I figured whoever I was talking to was of some importance, but I didn't know he was the king himself. ‘If he is The King of Dragons, how come such an important person has yet to try chocolate?’ I pondered hard.

“You must try chocolate!” I shouted.
The King dropped some of his distortion which really hurt my eyes. It was like looking directly at a star but really really up close. He seemed to re-gather himself and chuckle in amusement.
“I think you're the only dragon, which would still be focused on my eating habits, then rather why I am speaking to you.” The King replied.
“Well, eating chocolate is very important. Plus I don't think I am of much importance. I have picked up a weird way of using mana, through circumstances which I can't understand, and I am talking to what is supposed to be the first thing in which has been ever created, who has yet to try chocolate.” I replied, having gotten over my shock, I am returning back to being distracted.
“So you know, of me, know who I am. Maybe I will try chocolate.” The King replied with.
“Okay, was that it? Just to let me know you're real?” I asked curiously.
“There is more to it. Like how when you get lost, you always return to a place where you have been before.” The King replied.
“Usually ya I do. I still don't know why that happens. I end up in weird places. Like this weird pointy tower thing, that I can't enter. It has a weird mana to it.” I admitted.
“Oh? Well I would be interested in knowing more, but I assume you don't know much more yourself.” The King replied.
“Nope, not a clue. I tried a few times but nothing entered it. Not very many seem to ever venture near it either.” I admitted.
The King seemed to ponder what I have talked about. For someone that I had heard about being so important and all knowing, he seemed to rather not know a lot of things which are daily common. I wonder
if he has any dragons which he talks to regularly to just keep himself entertained. From what I heard he is supposed to be fighting, but he seems to not be doing anything.
“Hey, Mr. King. Are you lonely?” I asked, which interrupted his thinking.
“I don't think I have ever had a dragon ask me that before.” He responded.
“That didn't answer my question.” I retorted.
“Well, I won't be answering that question, but I will tell you that you're not dead.” He responded.
“Well of course I am not. If I was dead I wouldn't be able to talk.” I replied.
He seemed genuinely perplexed by me. Like he has not interacted with a dragon such as me. I was fine with it. Mom never really talked to me about The King, and the only dragons who did was because they were upset at him, or something else. I never really had much interest in learning more about him. I don't even understand why even talked to me. I am just a lost dragon, who doesn't even know where I am right now.
