Hey guys! MonstaWolf's back! This idea popped into my head a few days ago, and wouldn't leave, so I decided to write about it.
Enjoy!
I guess you can say the early years of my life could've been a bit better.
I was young, energetic, and playful, but the only thing my cramped, rotting cell offered was the occasional spider that would creep in through the rusty, but sturdy iron bars that allowed me to see a bit beyond my confinement. But, even when I stuck my snout out of the bars, the most I could see were rows of other cells that either held bones, or merely nothing at all. If the cellkeepers decided to feed me, or even remembered to in the first place, that was a lucky day for me. Though, I don't believe in luck. They must have a reason for keeping me alive. They obviously don't like me, suggesting by the fact that if I eat too many bugs in one day, they beat me a few times with a steel whip, telling me that I've 'had enough' and not telling me why. Despite that fact, if I ever got sick, they would slip pills in my food, and they usually helped make the sickness go away. I knew they did it, but I knew that if they figured out that I knew, they would just give me the pill alone, skipping a meal each day. I knew they must be planning something for me. I just don't know... when. I've thought of taking my tail blade to my neck, but each time I was close to slitting it, I wimped out and tried to tell myself I would do it the next day. As if I even have to say it, I never went through with it completely.
One day, everything changed. I was sitting by the cell door, waiting patiently to see if I would get any food that day. When the cell door began to crack open, my purple tail began wagging like a hatchling's would. Insted of a food bowl sliding in through the crack in the door, the door quickly opened up all the way, hitting my snout and causing me to cry out in pain. I covered my snout with my paws for a second, and when I drew them away, they had a bit of blood on them. My nose was bleeding. Being the stupid pre-teen I was, I decided to not care about it and check if the food was there, and only met the door being shoved in my face again. This time, my body forced me to screech out in pain, due to the fact that the pain was about five times worse since my snout was already hurt. I saw stars. Suddenly, a large paw covered my face and drilled my head into the ground, leaving a small crack on the concrete surface.
I woke due to a small electric shock coming from my neck. It wasn't painful, annoying if anything, but I wanted to see what was causing it. When I went to check what it was, I realized my hands were bound by chains. I felt them around my legs, too. There was also something around my neck, which must've been the thing that had caused the shock. In the darkness of the room in front of me, the outline of an ape began to form in front of me. Apes were the only other species I knew besides me, but I didn't even know what I was.
As the ape drew closer, I began to see him a bit more clearly. He was small compared to the other apes, and was holding a controller. As he got closer, a bit of fear began to grow in me. I began to struggle a bit in my chains, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to break free. The ape seemed to notice this, and he pressed a button on the remote. The thing on my neck beeped, and a small bit of pleasure came over me, causing me to feel a lot more relaxed. The pleasure stopped abruptly, but the after affects kept me relaxed even when the pleasure wasn't there, which I guess is what the ape wanted, because he looked a bit satisfied after the action took place.
"Listen to me. I don't mean you any harm. I just want you to hear me out." I began listening to him, even though the relaxing feeling had gone out of my system by now.
"So I believe that you can understand our language, but don't have the proper vocal cords to be able to speak it, am I correct?"
I nodded my head, and the ape in front of me continued talking.
"I believe it's time you were told why you've been living here all this time." My eyes were aimed right towards him, wanting to hear why I have had to suffer like this for as long as I've lived.
"So, lets start with the basics. You are a dragon, a strong, patient creature. You can fly, but you never got the chance to, yet. But it doesn't stop there, you aren't just any dragon, you are the legendary purple dragon. These, are rare. You see, a purple dragon's destiny is to put the world in order. But, as you will notice later on, the purple dragons that came before you failed at your task. The reason why we kept you here for so long it to make sure nobody else would try to tell you different. The world is corrupted, and only you can save it. We are here to help you complete this task."
I understood now. It was clear to me. I had to fix the world, or we would be brought down by it.
"So, the reason you're bound is because pretty soon, we're gonna blast you with convexity, turning you into one of the strongest beings ever. Problem is, though, the first minute will be the most painful thing you've ever experienced, and we can't have you move out of the beam, because it will screw up the process and that could possibly be lethal to you. We can't afford that, so we bound you with chains."
I wanted to say something, but couldn't, because it would only come out as a growl. I wanted to ask why I had to go through this, why my normal self wasn't good enough.
A few apes brought in a big, frightening machine. They pointed the cannon at me, the button to activate it facing away from me. "We have to wait a few hours before we can launch it, because you have to be quite relaxed in order for it to work. That, and your hormones need to be in check. For now, we'll just let you have your fun, while it lasts..." He put a weight on the green button on the controller, causing the collar to beep quietly. This time, a lot more pleasure washed over me, and my eyes rolled into the back of my head while I enjoyed the artificially created expirience.
