Here is the guaranteed chapter for the week, it would have been released earlier but I am in the midst of final and that takes a lot of time. so there probably won’t be another chapter this week.  on another note, I wrote this chapter first but while writing it i determined that I need to write some form of prolouge that explains a few things so that will be released next. as always i want to thank mejinzs and rouge for the proofreading support. just to let you know this was postend on my blog yesterday

I also want to thank anonymous for my first donation.

without further ado, Chapter 40 – Oh Brother

————————————-Azazel POV——————–

            “My tummy doesn’t hurt no more,” I joyously thought to myself as I woke up.

            “Wait, who is after me?” I heard Daddy say.

            “Who is daddy talking to?” I thought as I cracked one of my eyes open pretending to be asleep

            “What did I ever do to this… Mortem guy?” I heard Daddy ask a lady who was sitting on a really long chair.

            “In short, you were born, and your ‘birth’ will shift the balance of power in the multiverse, and the easiest ways to fix that is to just eliminate you.” the lady said.

            “Well this is great, god politics. Next you’re going to tell me that lawyers get a special place in heaven.” Daddy said.

            “Only really good ones,” the lady chuckled.

            “What are lawyers?” I asked myself when my tummy let out a really loud grumble. I tried to stay really still hoping they don’t think I’m awake.

            “Come on, Azazel I know you’re awake” Daddy said.

            I hugged Daddy’s neck not saying anything.

            “You feeling better?” Daddy asked.

            “You aren’t going to hurt my Daddy, are you?” I asked the lady on the really long chair.

            “HAHAHA, no little one,” the lady laughed, “I am here to help your daddy.”

            “Oh, ok” I sighed relieved.

            “We’ll talk later, but first I am going to give your divine powers a little push my draconic friend.” the lady said as her hands started to glow.

            “What do you mean by ‘a little push?’” Daddy said as he started to back away.

            Faster than I could see the lady disappeared and showed up right in front of daddy, and placed her hand on daddy’s side. All of a sudden me and daddy started to glow, then my head started to really hurt. It hurt so bad that I fell asleep.

——————————–Fafnir POV———————————

            “Daddy, my horns are missing!” Azazel cried from the other room.

            “It’s ok dear,” I said as entered the room, I wrapped my tail around Azazel and lifted her up and brought her to my snout. After a few minutes of hugging my snout she calmed down.

            “Daddy, where did my horns go?” she sniffled as i set her down, “I liked my horns.”

            “The goddess hid your horns but look,” I replied as I poked her stomach, “you have lots of scales like daddy now.”

            “Wow,” I she said staring at her stomach that was covered in the same bluish white scales that adorned my draconic frame. She started to examine the smooth bluish white scales that covered from her neck down to her waist.

            “Watch what daddy can do.” I said as I felt again for the a new crevice of power in my heart and activated my new ability. With a painful pop and my body started to change. Through waves of agony my fore limbs shrank and my hind legs lengthened. my claws turned into rough hands, and it felt like my skull was being crushed as my entire body was changing its shape, and after what felt like an hour the pain subsided.

            “OW! That hurt” I said as I stood up.

            “Why did Daddy change?” Azazel asked, as I examined my ‘arms’.

            “Because people are scared of Daddy and if I look like this they won’t be as scared.” I replied,  

            “Daddy’s not scary.” Azazel stated.

            “You know Daddy, they don’t.” I replied as I stumbled around the room, getting used to walking on legs again.

            “Are you ok Daddy?” Azazel as she watched me stumble about.

            “Yes dear, I just have to get used to walking on two feet.” I replied while trying to steady myself. I spent the next several hours relearning to walk on two feet, but as time passed an uncomfortable started too developed in my chest. It was annoying at first, like an itch that didn’t go away, it was manageable, but after a few hours it morphed into dull pain that slowly increased, I cooked dinner from what I had in my pantry and put Azazel to bed, all the while the pain continued to increase. It felt like a nail was being slowly inserted into my chest towards my heart. it took everything I had to find my limit but the pain became too much and I passed out.

            “Daddy, why’re you sleeping on the floor and not on the long chair like you said you were going to?” I heard Azazel ask through the haze of sleep.

            “Because the floor looked more comfortable than the couch,” I lied, as I got up once again in draconic form. When I heard an odd noise, “I know I have heard this somewhere…” I mused when the noise suddenly stopped.

            “Crap,” I said as I realized it was my phone’s ringtone.  I went to go see who had called and as I tried to pick up the rectangular device it slipped through my claws and fell onto the floor. I stared at the gray phone lying on the floor cursing my non-stick claws

            “Azazel, come here please.” I called, and a few seconds later the demoness rushed in.

            “Yes daddy,” she replied with a somewhat guilty look on her face.

            “Were you looking out the window again?” I asked.

            “I’m sorry but there are just so many interesting things outside I couldn’t help it.” She replied

            “Don’t do it again, now I want you to pick up the phone and tap the screen.” I said

            “What is a Flown?” Azazel asked with a look of confusion.

            “It is that gray thing on the floor; I dropped it and can’t pick it up it without dropping it again.” I replied pointing to the device.

            “This thing?” Azazel asked as she picked the phone.

            “Yes, now turn it over and tap the black round thing on the bottom” I instructed.

            “This thing?” she asked as she hit the center button.

            “Wow, it’s all glowy and has a painting and it has the letters that daddy uses when he doesn’t want aunt Atheros and uncle Therin to know what it says.” she exclaimed as she stared at the screen before turning the screen to face me, “Who is the man on the flown?” she asked.  

            “That is my non-dragon, younger brother,” I replied as I tried to read the text message from my brother which read:

           Bro will be there in less than 5 mins so you can help me with my project like you promised.

            “Well…” I nervously chuckled rereading the text hoping that I misread it, “ I’m am going to have an interesting time trying to explain this.”

            “Explain what?” Azazel asked with a confused look on her face. Then I heard a knock at the door.
