“UURAAAAAA!!!” (ARIN)
The Wolf is taken aback by my scream, but before he can react, I suddenly jump and appear right in front of him, as I utilize my Nails that have grown into claws.
As he dodges in the last moment, I only manage to hit the air. But before I land, I twist my Body, trying to hit his flank. Suddenly my body shoots out in a flurry of attacks, striking, punching and even kicking, utilizing everything my Body could muster up to defeat the Enemy before me. But as I am about to hit his head, the Wolf ducks down and suddenly makes a jump right into my stomach. My Body is thrown into the wall again, making the previous Hole even deeper.
As it starts to charge towards me, I roll over and jump onto one of the ceiling-hanging Stones. Using the momentum, I speed up and make a massive charge through the air, aiming for his back. Unprotected as he is due to missing his charge, I shoud have an easy game. Sadly, it didn't go as planned. Just as I was about to hit, the fur on its back suddenly goes up in flames, making me crash right into the fire. Noticing my disadvantage, I jump away, only to be followed by a fireball, shot out of the wolfs mouth.
As soon as I touched the ground, I crouched down and rolled to the side, trying to escape the flames. Not allowing me to leave, the fireball goes up in a giant explosion upon impact, throwing me back by 3 meters. Due to having semi-full control of my tails, it isn't hard to adjust and regain my footing. But the Wolf doesn't seem too eager on letting me regain my footing as it comes running towards me. Seeing the danger approach, I use my tails to whip up dust, to cloud his eyesight.
Using the Opening shown this way, I run towards the wolf and slide through underneath. Due to my Size this isn't to hard. But as always, the wolf shows his superiority in experience, as he reflexivly kicks out with his hind-legs, hurling me through the air. Hitting one of these Cave-Stones with the back of my head, I black out for a second.
Regaining my senses I look upwards, where a definitly displeased Fiery Wolf stares down on me. Seems like it was unhappy about me defending myself and even attacking him.
Just as he is opening his mouth, I try to move. But my body isn't listening to me, because my nerves were still stunned from the impact. Watching my death approach, a sudden, loud roar interferes with the Situation.
“ROOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR” (???)
Don't you dare touch him!?! Why can I understand this voice, wrong, this roar. Looking up, the Fire-Wolf, who until just now had an absolutly savage smile on his face, was now scared shitless. It started to whimper, before turning around and running away at a speed that even shocked me.
Thats what he deserves!
One moment, if the wolf is scared of the owner of this Voice, then what is going to happen to me?!?
As sudden realization hits me, I start to sweat profously and look around. Left, Right and front? Nothing. Looking behind there is a big, weird looking boulder. And above...
I Froze, what looked down on me from behind, was a giant head with black eyes. A enourmous mouth with sharp teeth, and a body equipped with pitch-black scales. Even with my Nightvision, it is hard to see him. In the First place, how come I didn't notice him?
Uaaaaa, such thouths are unnecessary. There is a giant black Dragon head floating above me, smiling down on me, wait; smiling?
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Confused by the sudden Events, my head starts to spin. That is until an old but gentle voice, filled with majesty, revaberates in the Room.
“Fufufu, So you are her heir, Interesting. To be honest, you look more adorable than she did in her childhood.” (Big Dragon?)
Breathing through his nose, the Big Dragon(?) talks about uncomprehensible things. What does he mean by Heir, and what is this about being more adorable than her? Who is he talking about.
“Hmm, seeing your shocked face, I guess you have more questions than awnsers. You don't need to worry, once it is time, I will awnser all your questions. But for now, jump on my back. If you just follow me, you'll end up lost in the caves down here.” (Big Dragon?)
Speaking with a small laugh, he turns his head around and points onto his back. Well, it seems the big Boulder I saw behind me, is actually the Dragons Body.
But im still hesistant. Maria taught me that I should never go with strangers, even if I don't know if that also applies to dragons. For sure, he doesn't seem to have ill intent, but I know nothing about him. Should I...
“If it helps you trust me, let me tell you; I also knew Lumi. But this isn't the Time nor place to talk about this. So let's go.” (Big Dragon?)
Speaking in a patient voice, he tries to assure me. Also, I can hear a hint of sadness when he mentioned Lumi. I don't know if I can fully trust him. But at the moment there, I have no other Choice, and even if we were to fight, he would win, no questions asked.
Deciding to trust him, I break out in a short run and jump onto his back. Seeing my actions, the black Dragon smiles lightly and turns around, walking into the opposite direction of where the wolf fled to.
Sadly, sitting on a 3 meters tall Dragon's back isn't half as comfortable as I imagined it. Even the scales are slightly slippery, and it is hard to keep a solid grasp. Thinking that far, I use three of my tails to polster my bottom and use the others to keep my balance. Weirdly enough, I got more used to them while I was fighting in Instinct mode. Probably my Body remembers how to do it but my mind needed to get used to it first?
Before walking further ahead, the dragon suddenly turns his head to the left, to the spot where I originally hid myself. As I am wondering what got his attention, I can sense some kind of energy suddenly burst out of him into that direction. What is he doing?
Moments later, a small, blue glowing flower floats into my direction, landing on my lap.
Surprised at the sudden happening, I can hear a kind but old voice talking to me.
“I Think you dropped this, it won't do to just leave your things behind, now does it?” (Big Dragon?)
Laughing lightly, he continues on his way ahead. As i am still baffled at the sudden appearance of a floating Flower, i reach out to it. Somehow, i want to see if i can do that too.
Reaching closer to the flower, it suddenly floats away by a little, just enough to evade me. I don't know why, but somehow, this flower is always evading me, no matter how i try to approach.
Being focused on the floating Flower, i don't even notice the black dragon who is watching me with an amused expression.
It took me a while, but i suddenly realized that there was some kind of energy surrounding the flower, moving it automatically away as soon as i approach.
(AN: Imagine a tiny Foxpub, sitting on a giant Dragon, trying to catch a floating, glowing object in front of it's head.)
Somehow it is getting fun, the faster i get, the faster the flower moves to evade. Maybe i can catch it if i am faster than the energy controlling the Flower?
Putting my Theorie into practise, i speed up my arms, trying to catch the flower, which somehow doesn't leave a 1 meter radius around me. As i am activly trying to catch the flower, I can get a more clear feeling of the Energy surrounding it. Somehow it feels pleasent yet foreign. As my Speed goes up more and more, i can see the Energy starting to leave behind a trail. Normally it stays around the flower, but the speed it requires to evade me seems too fast for itself to stay perfectly toghether. Somehow i have a feeling i can catch that short trail it leaves behind, I just need a bit more speed.
Even if i say that, the speed my arms are going right now is impossible for a Human, but i don't feel my Limit yet. Let's go even faster. Moving at a speed where my Arms would already appear to be blurrs to a normal Human eye, I finally grab onto the trail of the Energie. Suddenly, as though it is saying „i am yours now“, the flower and energy around it are perfectly still, to the point where the movement before seemed like a lie. I am confused at the sudden change, but thanks to that i realized that the Dragon actually stood still, and it's eyes were staring at me wide open.
„D~did yo~you seriously Claim my M~mana just now?“ (Big Dragon?)
The Dragon's Voice definitly carries a hint of shock in it, but it still seems so majestic. How does he do that? Anyway, i have no idea what he is talking about, so i just tilt my head to the side.
He just stares at me for a short while, before turning around and letting out a soft sigh. „He is just like you, isn't he, Lumi?“ Muttering that under his breath, he continues to walk forward.
As for me, i didn't notice that he was speaking to himself, as i was too busy playing with this weird kind of energy that somehow obeys my Thoughts now.
