"I hate everybody, I hate that class! I hate everything in there!" Yugi grumbled as he stomped along the forest, the grass crunching under his harsh steps and at the force of his boots. See, Yugi was being made fun of in the training grounds for magicians for his thin and petite frame and feminine features, as if those guys had the best built also. Smh, it made Yugi want to skin them alive and gut their intestines.
The most low blow on Yugi's pride was the one thing that a Celtic Guardian Knight said. "You can't kill a dragon with that flimsy size of yours! And what's with the bondage?"
Yugi was utterly and extremely pissed that he punched the guy in the face and almost sent him to the shadow realm, though the teacher stopped him before he could do so, causing Yugi to let out a frustrated huff and storm away as a result, a massive crackle of dark energy left him, causing his fellow knights to scatter away, flinching at the mass amount of power the small male emitted.
Right now, currently in the middle of tall trees, wild bushes and grasses that snaked and curved around like a maze, Yugi stood seething mad, his teeth gritting in unabashed fury, eyes glowing a dark lavender.
"I'll show them, I'll show them that I can kill a dragon." He growled, fists clenching around his staff, which was 4 meters long and had metal clasps, with a curved end that had a gem on the center that glowed aqua-green.
Yugi was wearing an all in one leather outfit that hugged his form, buckles and belts adorning him from ankles, to neck, there were circular rings in the middle of his suit that was held by the belts circling his outfit. This was what made Yugi different from other magicians and knights, he was the embodiment of chaos and destruction, able to bring deaths if he so pleased. He was the Magician of Black Chaos, and yet he didn't act violent even if he was provoked. Only, he had had enough of the tauntings and decided to prove them he could kill a dragon too.
Yugi took a deep breath, his violet hair and blonde bangs, caressed by the wind as he kept on walking, taking calming breaths so he wouldn't lose control of his powers. It was a bad effect for him if he ever did lose his control since it would drive him insane.
The Magician opened his eyes and sighed, the glow in his eyes vanishing. 'Now.. where do I find this dragon?' he thought.
His lavender eyes roamed around the area, checking out any suspicious areas that a dragon might hide, trying to sense anything that was off. When he found nothing, Yugi was on the verge of giving up for this futile attempt.
'Screw it, there's no such thing as dragons I'm this area. Why did I even go off at such a simple taunt? It's not like me.' Yugi tried to reason with himself, feeling quite stupid.
He turned around and blinked. Hard. There was a cave not far from him. It was wide and huge, circular, like a maw ready to devour anything that came in it's way, the cave had jagged rocks here and there. Yugi squinted, trying to see what was inside the darkness. It was.. moving??
Yugi made a noise, his heels pivoting to the initial direction of the cave, feeling a strange pull, lulling him and calling out to him, trying to hypnotize him, it was both exhilarating and terrifying for the magician as the grip on his staff tightened, his eyes narrowing more as he stepped on the rocky surface of the uneven cave. 'I wonder what was moving in here? Surely a cave like this is for travelers or something?'
Yugi walked inside, his boots clicking with every step he took, the sound revibrating around the space, the sound of pebbles gyrating and hitting the stone floor gave Yugi goosebumps. It was creepy.
When there was no movement in the darkness, Yugi let out a deep, relieved breath.
"I'm just imagining things. Nothing's here," Yugi spoke out loud, letting out a nervous smile--
Thump
Yugi's heart stopped, freezing his movements as something akin to a low rumble made itself known, his eyes trailed on the moving figure, his hand tightening in his staff, cold sweat gathering on his temples as he stared at the golden eyes that stared at him and then slowly, oh so slowly, began to come nearer.
'Shit shit shit!!' Yugi's mind screeched, the alarm in his head blaring but he couldn't look away, couldn't breath, just kept on staring at the eyes that slowly revealed a tan face, then--then a black human neck and center torso, and lastly, the red wings and tail that glistened in the sunlight. Yugi's eyes zeroed in on the glittering oval gem on the creature's forehead, then at the golden bangs and crimson colored hair that was shaped like a maple leaf.
Yugi did the only thing he could do at the moment. He panicked... And screamed. Loud.
"OH MY GOD!!!"
The creature in turn let out a screech and covered it's red pointed ears with it's equally taloned hands, that was also strangely red in color. The man or--or whatever this was stared at him in surprise and curiosity, also with slight offense at the voice of this stranger. How loud this bondage wearing thing was!
Yugi shakily pointed a leather gloved finger at the creature, mouth agape and eyes wide in terror, his panic clearly showing on his much much paler face. "Y-Y-YOU--!!! YOU'RE A--!!" He stammered.
The creature let out a small coo in curiosity, it's ears twitching and golden eyes darting back and forth at Yugi's panicking form. This creature was examining Yugi, so curious was it that it began to crawl to him, on all fours, tilting it's head in a rather cute manner as it crept up to Yugi hesitantly, sleek, long, red tail dragging behind it. The creature hesitated and blinked, sniffing Yugi and then saying something that Yugi had no knowledge of, since it spoke in a language long dead that Yugi did not study.
Yugi pointed his staff at the creature, the man letting out a hiss, pupils turning into slits as it backed away slightly, it's tail was poised to strike, ready to attack it seems as if it was saying; "Don't you dare!!" The creature let out a warning hiss, backing away more as Yugi raised his staff a little more.
He could hear the blood rush through his veins and deafen his hearing, though Yugi was still in his right mind he became confused on why this creature did not attack him on sight. Was it different from other dragons? Or was it waiting for an opportunity to strike. Yugi blinked, testing the water for the creature's reaction. He slowly put away his staff, the creature's expression slowly slackened and it's form didn't seem tense anymore, Yugi pulled the staff back to his body and got the same reaction as earlier, a threatening hiss.
When Yugi finally had enough, he weaved his hands and made his staff disappear, causing the creature to utterly relax, its slitted pupils dilating and once again showing it's curiosity, though there was weariness in those golden eyes. The half-man-half-dragon once again approached Yugi, this time slower, its wings tucked neatly by it's side.
Yugi bit his lips, heart beating incredibly fast as he stared at this strange creature. He tilted his head and tried his best to calm down, finally able to speak again. "Who... Who are you?" He whispered.
The creature tilted its head, not quite understanding the language. It clicked it's tongue, the forked muscle slithering out of it's mouth slightly as it tried speaking. It couldn't understand human language, but it got the meaning of what Yugi was saying, with those questioning violet eyes.
Yugi's eyes zeroed in on the strange looking appendage, suppressing the urge to shiver at the disturbing image but at the same time which was creepily good too. He shook his head, not quite catching what the creature was saying. What'd you expect? He can't understand dragonic language for all his magic's work! Heck! He barely understood what other people were saying!
Defeated, Yugi's shoulders slumped as he slapped a hand to the side of his face, the creature jumping slightly and looking worriedly at the leather clothed male. The magician of chaos let out a deep breath through his nose and spoke, utterly embarrassed. "I don't know dragonic language.. I'm sorry.." he grumbled.
The creature cooed in question. Yugi suddenly felt like something was prodding at his mind, jerking at the feeling of foreign magic touch the sensitive part of his magic. He cringed at the feeling and tried pulling away but the strange thing was persistent and made Yugi's barriers break, exposing him as it roamed around his mind and exposed his secret.
'Stop! You're invading my mind! Stop that!' Yugi shouted at the magic in his head.
The strange thing paused and then caressed Yugi's mind again, as if it was trying to apologize for the distress it caused, as quickly as it was there, it left just as fast, causing Yugi to rebuild his walls and relax.
He stared at the creature hard and pensive, eyes calculating. "You're strange," he quipped, brows furrowing at the creature. He let out a nervous chuckle.
The creature tilted its head and made a mix sound of a coo and a hiss, it's tail thumping in obvious impatience.
Yugi let out another nervous chuckle. "I'm gonna regret teaching you human speech won't I?" He whispered, eyes holding the horror they could hold.
The creature could only blink.
Yugi was regretting his decisions later.
