Dragon with a Heart
Ch.1 Demon Form/Meeting Aleese
Tetheus woke up in the middle of the forest, still feeling dizzy from the fatal blow from someone hitting him in the back of the head. He stood up and looked at his surrounding. He didn't feel like himself. He remember chasing the demon and then that fatal blow hit him from behind, leaving him unconcious. Tetheus saw a nearby river and walked towards it. He splashed water on his face. When he saw his reflection, he was shocked that he fell backwards. He was in his demon form, a dragon like demon. He had black scales that were shining from the sun's reflection. He was standing on two feet, like how a darnas* (riding dragon) would. He had serpent eyes that were a crimson red. His bat-like wings expand to 10 feet that looked in great shape. He had a spade point at the end of his tail, that could be useful as a weapon. "I must be dreaming..." Tetheus thought to himself. He hit his head against the tree that was next to him, which hurt him deeply from the impact. He shook his head. "Okay...I'm not dreaming." Tetheus thought. He started to think. "I'll just tell the lord what happened...wait, he can't see me like this!" Tetheus said. He suddenly heard a twig snapped. "Shoot!" Tetheus whispered. He climbed up a tree and looked. He saw a girl ran out of a bush and stopped near the river. She had brown hair and saphire blue eyes. She was wearing a white trench coat with black shirt and pants with high knee boots on. She looked behind her. "Looks like I lost it..." The girl said. She took a sip of water from the river. Tetheus continues to watch her. "Why would a girl be here in the middle of the forest?" Tetheus thought. The branch that was supporting Tetheus snapped, bringing Tetheus to the ground. The girl stood up and went to a defense position while holding a sword. "Who's there! Show Yourself!" The girl ordered. Tetheus didn't have much of a choice. He stood up and walked towards the girl. She let her guard down slightly, seeing that it wouldn't harm her. She walked towards the dragon. "What? Are you ratting me out on Nadil's lackeys as well?" The girl asked. Tetheus was suprised from her question. He shook his head no. She realized that it couldn't speak. "Wait here." The girl ordered. She walked near a bush and pulled out a backpack. She looked inside the bag and pulled out a necklace. It was a black diamond. She walked towards back to Tetheus. "Put this around your neck." The girl said. Tetheus stared at the necklace then back at her. She smirked. "It won't kill you or anything. Just trust me, ok?" She asked. Tetheus sighed. He lowered his neck. She tied it around his neck. She backed away. "Try saying something." The girl said. "Like what?" Tetheus asked. He was shocked. The girl smirked. "It's my own spell. It helps me understand both animals and demons. I never tried it on a dragon before, but it looks like it works on you perfectly." The girl said. Tetheus stares at the girl. "What's your name?" Tetheues asked. Should she reveal who she is? "It's Aleese. What about you?" Aleese asked. Tetheus sighed in hesitation. "It's...Tetheus..." Tetheus said. She stares at him suprised. "Do you mean Black Dragon Officer Tetheus!" She asked. Tetheus nods. She stares at him. "That's a new look for you. What happened?" Aleese asked. She knew that he was human, but something happened to him. "I...really don't know." Tetheus said. Aleese heard a low growl. Tetheus looked behind him. "Let's get somewhere safe." Aleese suggested. Tetheus nods in agreement. They found a cave nearby, which was on top of a 15 foot cliff. Aleese stares at her injury that was near her waste. It was still bleeding, not good for climbing. Tetheus stares at her. He sighed in hesitation, about to disagree what he was going to do. "I can't believe I'm going to do this..." Tetheus thought. He sighed. "Get on my back." Tetheus ordered. Aleese stares at him suprised. "You sure you can handle it?" Aleese asked. Tetheus was taller than her, even in his demon form. (Of course he's taller than her! He always towers everyone!) Tetheus lowers his back near Aleese. Aleese hesitated, but got on his back. Tetheus stood up. He expanded his wings. "Hold on!" Tetheus said. Aleese held on. Tetheus tried to fly to the top of the cliff, which was difficult for him. He was not use to being in his demon form. He was almost near the edge of the cliff, untill he realized that he was going closer to the ground. He managed to grab the edge of the cliff. Aleese nearly slipped off of his back, but Tetheus managed to grab her. He helped her up on the cliff then heaved himself up on the edge. He dropped to the ground, exhausted from what he went through to get on top of the cliff. "You okay?" Aleese said. Tetheus nods. "I just need rest is all..." Tetheus said. Tetheus stood up but nearly dropped again, but he felt someone supporting him to stay up. He saw Aleese next to him, helping him. "Let's get inside the cave." Aleese said. He never saw someone with a worried expression on their faces before that wanted to help him. Aleese helped him sat down. "Stay here and I'll try find some water." Aleese said. Tetheus stares at her as she dissapears from his sight. He laid his head down and stared at the mouth of the cave, wondering how the dragon tribe is doing. He then fell asleep, thinking that it will take a long time to return back into his human form. It's now just starting the adventure of the Black Dragon Officer and the girl Aleese.
