Chapter Four: Endless
The world that I was brought to, was different than the world that I awoke in. This one, was full of technological wonders. There were strange boxes, that held small people in them, and the humans were able to travel to and from my place of Birth. They called it, the digital world. Here in the Real world, was their home. I felt out of place, and was soon overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, smells, and new experiences.
The human, called Davis, was kind enough to let me stay at his….living quarters. He called it a "house". I was finally beginning to grasp the primitive language that they used to communicate. What uncultured apes….They can't even communicate telepathically. That was the most basic form of communication that I was born into. I smiled, and thanked Davis' parents, with a sight nod of my head. They told me in the morning that they would try to find some information about me. Davis told them a story, of how I was found in a burning building, and that we had single-handed rescued me from sheer destruction.
His sister, kept looking at me funny, and everytime I looked back, she would blush. Humans seemed to do this a lot. I didn't understand the full meaning of the body language, but I understood the basic concepts. Soon, we sat down for the evening meal. The whole family ate, and this would be another experience for me. They dished out a strange food substance, which looked like some poultry fried in an oil based liquid. Davis called it…Fried Chicken. I was not impressed, and just ate the fresh fruit that was on the table. The fruit was good, but it tasted nothing like the Ambrosia fruit that I had eaten since my godhood.
After the meal, Davis let me wear some of his old clothes. Shorts as he had called them, and threw me a shirt from his dresser. I took of my old robe, and soon was dressed. This time, I figured out how do don this garments. The shirt was another matter, I soon gave up on that, and walked out into the small balcony looking over the city. It was night, but the active sounds still echoed off the buildings.
I stood outside, leaning on the railing, feeling the slow, night breeze gently caress my hair. It felt good, to be out of that stuffy house, and finally be back in the elements. I breathed a sight of relief, and closed my eyes…Enjoying the taste of freedom.
It didn't last long…And I could soon hear the loud, pitch of Davis' sister calling for me. Since I didn't have a name, she became accustom to calling me Joe. Why she called me this name, I still do not know. But, it would do for now.
"Hey Joe! Its time for you to come in for the ni…" She stood as she saw me out on the balcony. She did that blushing thing again. "Umm…You don't have a shirt on." I guess human females found a well-build body attractive. Since I was trained from my birth, in the Dragon arts, the result was a well-built, extremely athletic body.
I just shook my head, humans…They understand nothing. But, I turned my head, and flashed a fake smile. It was time for me to go. I needed to find out were I was, besides…I was sick and tired of dealing with these humans.
She came out to the balcony, and grabbed my head. "C'ome on! We have a bed set up for you." She blushed again "Its right across from my room."
I gently pulled my hand away, and spoke the basic language that they had come accustom to. "Thank….You."
Her eyes shone, "I didn't know you could talk!"
I smiled alittle, "It took me some time to understand you, but I think I have the basic concepts of your dialog understood."
She grinned, 'So…Are you coming in? We got to find more about you tomorrow!"
I turned my head, and looked past the buildings, to the twinkling stars in the night sky. "No….I want to explore this strange land."
She frowned, "We can do that tomorrow! For now, You have to sleep!"
I turned back towards her, my eyes flashed with light, and she took a step back. "I will explore this land…Tonight. There are plans that you mortals are not aware of!"
She took another step back, and put her hands up, "Ok! Im not going to mess with you…"
She reached for the door, and walked back inside. I was left alone. Finally….I can find out more about this place…. It was time…For me to take flight.
I closed my eyes, and begun to summon my power. It started out as a mere trickle, but soon, I could feel the familiar feeling of the light. It begun to grow…First from my chest, then outwards to my arms, down though my legs, and even to the tips of my brown hair. The light grew, and collected in two separate areas on my back, right in the middle of my shoulder blades.
I opened my mouth, and screamed. The light exploded from the points, and two giant clear wings grew out of the pinpoints. The light shone from the wings, and they grew, until more than eight feet in diameter. The wings were crisscrossed with the ancient swirling writings of my people. It depicted great battles fought by the dragon gods, and new births of legendary heroes.
My skin transformed into a dark brown, with more blue, swirling writing on the sides of my face. My eyes were shining like the stars above, and a red tail soon fixed itself on the lower part of my back. It was good to be a Dragon again.
My body was not the same either, It was more massive, with muscles and skin that had rivers of sinew underneath. The fingers that once were human, were now three massive bones, with steel like claws at each tip. The face that I had grown accustom to, was back to its original godness. The black hair, was now gold, and stretching down past the shimmering clear wings.
The family came running out, and stood in shock. Their mouths agape at my true form. Davis was the first to snap out of the transfix, His eyes bulged as he spoke, "Wow! He's really cool! He's even bigger than Exveemon!"
His sister just stood there, her eyes brimmed with tears, "I can't believe this….This is what Joe really looks like?"
I had grown sick of that name…I floated over to her, "My name is not…This Joe you speak of…It is Fon Lu."
She smiled, "Fon Lu? I like that name!"
I had grown weary of this, and spread my wings. Davis' sister tired to stop me, but It was too late. With a blast of warm air, I was out in the sky. My body felt alive as I plunged like a shimmering dagger across the night sky. The wind swirled and flew around me, I was free to find out more about this world. I could see the house that had taken care of me, falling away in the fleetly fading distance. Soon, it was gone, and It was just me, out in the deep darkness of the night sky.
I spread my wings farther, and soon was nothing more than a mere shining streak against the darkness.
