I drew my hand in a ball and then snarl at the pestilence form of a human being. How dare he try to mutilate and slaughter me? How very foolish on his part. I start to take slow menacing steps towards him, my eyes narrowing to a murderous glare with every step. I caught a whiff of air, so he's scared. 'How very amusing.'
I decide to taunt this merciless buffoon that dare to attack my home and the little girl under my care. I smile evilly, "Tell me, mortal. Do you dare to provoke me more or do you wish to accept defeat?" I await his answer, though i knew what he would do since his hands are twitching uncontrollably. He screams and dashes towards me, I roll my eyes and jump over him and turn around, quickly grabbing his arm and breaking it; A loud snap is heard causing everyone in the area to wince except for me.
"As you wish, prepare to die" I whisper. I didn't want to kill him, but I had too, otherwise he would come back with more of his little gang of trash. He screams in wicked pain, the pleasure of his ghastly howl causes ripples of amusement titillated inside me. I didn't understand what my problem has been lately, could it be my inner dragon that wishes to dispose of this brainless half-witted trash. He will fritter away like every other human does, in the dirt or consumed by feral animal.
I flung him in to the air, causing him to scream again. "Let me go you freak!" I scoff and my tail catches him before he hits the ground, the scales spiking out and slicing through him skin. I til my head in confusion, when did I want that happen? Oh well, who cares at the moment, because I certainly do not. "Do you want to die now or later?" I ask casually, meaning does he want to suffer now or later?
He begs for his life over and over, "Please I have a family! My wife and children are starving and-and the l-leader will kill them if I don't get money!" I see through his eyes, peering in to his soul. I see the truth, the lies are not there. I drop him to the ground and bend down towards him, "Bring them here and you will be safe!" He stares at me in awe as I place my hand over his arm and heal it at alarming rate. "I change my mind I won't kill you, however under one condition," I stand up slowly. He holds his arm and moves it, the awestruck striking brightly on his facial expressions. "Anything! Please!"
I smirk, "You will be under my command when I call you, and you will do my bidding and when I don't need you, you will live here with your family under my protection like the rest of the village" I said loudly, making sure the others will hear me.
"Yes, yes! Please, I will do so. Just spare me" he drops to the ground and bow like a slave I have seen in movies and what Hannibal's slaves do to him in greetings. I feel my shirt rip against my back and I feel a strange sensation and then I see what has grown and that is a pair of large wings. It looks like angel wings but they are scaly dragon ones.
I incline my head, "Yes, go and retrieve them. And those foolish little leaders you have will die if they dare enter this village" I cross my arms and look around. My wings probing out of my ripped shirt, the white scales shining under the moonlight's illuminating beauty.
I knew that I have two days left until I fight Chase under the moonlight's full glory. Where the moon powers me fully and what he doesn't know at all. I watch as the man bows again and then rushes out of the village. I turn to see the villagers bowing, repeating over and over that they're prophecy came true about the Dragon Goddess bless them in her presence.
"Get up, rest and then tomorrow we shall begin on building our defenses for this village. Trust me, we will discuss this tomorrow morning when the sun rises" I said, the sense of pride and power circling around me in authority's greatest power. Though I know I don't have all of their trust yet, so I shall gain that as soon as I can. When they left to their houses, I stay awake to guard the village for when the man was lying greatly and his eyes held only deception.
Morning approaches and I stood in the middle of the village near the campfire, the fire stoking behind me. The cooking wild game bringing the delicious smell aroma in the air, causing the villagers to leave from their huts and gather around me. I cup my hands together and greet them all politely yet like a leader should, "Greetings everyone, I have you all gather here because I fear a great threat is going to threaten our lives and we must defend ourselves or leave this place and find another area to set up our village, do you wish to follow me on helping to build this village better?"
They talk among each other, their uncertainly brimming on amusement for me. The elder whom accepted us, my little ancestor and I a few days ago, spoke up for the others. "We came to an agreement that we shall accept your proposal and will follow you, our Dragon Goddess"
I nod to his willingness, "As you all wish, I will make sure you all protected by me. Now, where shall we start with? Oh right...we need to have weaponry"
Later into the day, I had taught them to defend themselves with basics and how to make wood spears and bows and arrows, they certainly need to know how to do this. Where did they come from if they don't know how to do such things? Oh right, they must come from those poor provinces to happen to become refugees from destroyed villages, how unfortunate and down right upsetting.
I sit in my house, the one I happen to have been built with help of the others. Only a few other rooms from wood, stone and clay. I did wish that they all have houses as good as this they are building. I did have invest in insulation, which is suitable for the environment we live in. Currently I am drawing up several sketches on how the village houses will be, the underground root cellar, it was not that hard to figure out since I had made a few when I was in the future...when I was visiting my grandparents house before they passed on...it hurt so badly when they ascend to the planes of afterlife.
I had so much plans for this place but time will take years to complete by this progress they are at. I do help them, but at times I am writing or teaching or guarding/patrolling the city. I stood from the clay stool and turn around slowly and left through the door, straight out to the village center where I told the others that I will be beginning to battle someone who wishes to cause great distress for them all.
Before I left the village, my little Lihua is ran up to me and clung to me. I look down and smile, embracing the little sweetheart back. "I must leave for now, I will return when it's over. I promise you" I tell her softly.
She starts to cry, my heart cracks a little. "Shh shh, dear heart. Please calm down" I knelt to eye level and held her against my chest protectively. "Sweetie, I will return. I promise" I held my pinkie out, she hooks hers with mine. "Promise me!" she narrows her eyes at me.
I grin and laugh, "I promise to come back!" I take my stand again and she backs away and runs back in to the village. The elder walks up to me slowly, "Come back safely, young one. We need you. We will take care of little Lihua" I smile and hug him, he was like father to me. He smiles sadly, "I never had a daughter.. my wife died at childbirth our child died as well"
I close my eyes, "It's alright, dad. You're like a father to me. If I can call you that" his eyes rose in shock, I believe he never heard this before nor was this the concept that would happen ever.
"Yes, young one" I nod and leave out of the village, twirling my sword in hand before sliding it in its sheath. I head towards my destination, to the mountain seven miles from this place. As I reach there, there was a cool breeze and the sun was setting to descend away for the moon to replace it for the night. I stand in the middle of the empty forest, the sound of a running stream several feet away from me on my left side, the gently noise ringing in my ears like a melody.
"Now I must wait" I murmur. There was a slight breeze and a shadow forty feet before me, "I see you made it"
I grimace, "Oh I haven't, dearly boy. What did think I would do, risk my pride and be humiliated? I see no point in that. I must not risk my own safety in case of an idiotic moron kidnapping me and forcing me to do his horrid bidding. So tell me why do you wish to make me a potential ally, Chase?"
A sinister chuckle that cause a deep rumbling of amusement in my chest, which I didn't understand myself. "Do you know you unnecessarily babble on? I do see the potential that two remarkable one of a kind immortals to join forces and bring eternal darkness to this world and shower it in our pleasures of powers and commands"
I blink, what did I do to cause him to speak in my words and speech patterns? Did I cause his brain to adjust to my words after the months I spent at the temple before it was destroyed as I left? It's a possibility. I had the uncanny need to question him, "Tell me, you wish to have me rule the world with you? Perhaps I shall not and make amends only to remedy the ties to allies without the concept of that tedious loathsome treacherous bean apart of it nor the need of him to interfere with this. Is that good for you? Only then I shall accept your offer, but for now we shall fight"
He laughs in dark amusement. "I see, very well. We shall battle"
I smirk, "Yes, we shall begin" I said, taking two steps back and watch as he stood still and peer into my eyes. I glare at him then held my fists up to him, I know that he wouldn't make the first move, he would play defensive until he sees my weakness and switch to offensive soon after, taking me by surprise and under handling knock me to my feet and win like he always has done at the temple, until I figured out what he would do soon enough. So I shall switch this around and invoke him, making him wish to attack me, but only if he's foolish enough to do so.
"Come get me, pretty boy" I taunt him, feeling the irritation waver from him like steam. He heads straight for me, his hands close to him. I duck as he swings his fist, I leap down to the ground and sweeps my feet across the ground. He jumps up and upper cuts my jaw, knocking me back several feet. I stagger to gain my balance, I adjust my jaw and groan. The pain stinging horribly, causing a string of pleasure briefly.
I dance back like gracefully avoiding his attacks, easily deflecting most that would attack me. I did thank bean, a bit, pun intended, for making me what I am today and teaching me this not so useful things. I back flip as he almost hits my flat palm against my chest, that would cause some serious problems with my breathing.
I rush towards him, he catches me hand in his and squeezes it hardly, causing it to pop and more pain wash over me. I ignore it as much as I can, I couldn't be defeated over this ridiculous weakness. I took in account that he was open and I ball my fist and swung my fist to his stomach, he lets out a gasp of shock and backs away, a look of anger cross his face.
I didn't do facial expression, that I knew of, and ducks under him as he almost slams his fist against me. I elbow him in the back, making him groan and anger swarming over him like locusts, I could smell it in the air greatly. He disappears and then appears near me with his hand slicing through my upper arm swiftly, causing blood to sweep out and across the ground around me. I had my hand swipe across his chest at the same moment where he got me by surprise, blood oozes from his wound chest. "Qiuyue, how do you know about the bean?"
It seems he doesn't like the bean like me, apparently not everyone likes that lowlife. I snicker, "Lets say, its due to something horrible and he doesn't know about me yet" With one swift motion he grips my throat and pins me against a tree, I glare darker at him. He squeezes my trachea harder, he made a mistake for not leaving my legs free. I pull my leg up and nails him in the stomach once again, the force of it making him collide against another tree snapping it in half. I inhale deeply gathering air.
"How does he not know you yet? If he already does" he says coolly, his placid words dripping with annoyance. I mimic his tone, "Oh, he certainly doesn't know much then. That doesn't matter, what will you do succumbing under his command where you're free and make your own leadership and army at your own disposal?"
He raises an eyebrow, "How do you not know if I'm already free of that poor excuse of an existence on this realm" he stretches his arms, his bones cracking back in place. I grin, "Bullshit" I watch as his pupils dilate. "What do you speak of this bullshit?"
I laugh haughty, "It doesn't matter, now tell me. Are you going to give?" he glares right back at me.
Next thing I knew was that I felt a rush of air; I fell to the ground, letting out a gasp of pain loudly. His knees on both sides of me, he crouches above me and stares down darkly, his hands pinning my throat with one hand and the other on my wrist above my head. His hand tightening around my throat increasingly slowly. I didn't knew what to do..what did that slimy bean tell me to do in these kind of situation...damn it I couldn't remember...what was it...great I'm going to do, aren't I?
I smirk arrogantly, making him stare down in confusion. "What are you smirking about?" I shake my head and buck my hips, making him move in surprise. I lean up and kiss him, catching him in surprise. Just as he was about to react, I pull away and flip him on his back and my claw hand on his throat, my claws threatening to embed in his throat and tear out his throat. "Do you submit?" I ask.
"Never" he spat. I cackle and tighten my grip and lean my head towards his ear, "Do you give?" I repeat. Again I get the same answer from him, I roll my eyes and whisper, "Then I win this fight, I will see you in again one day. For now I must leave" I catch his lips and land a blow against him, rendering him unconscious. I stand up and lick my lips, the inner dragon purring in acceptance.
"Good, Qiuyue. Keep playing games and he will succumb to our power" A wicked feminine dark voice said. I look around and then tighten my fist, I pull him against a tree and run off back to my village.
I heard tales that some dragons have inner voices to help them in the time of need, so perhaps that is the voice I heard? I do not know, but time will tell once I gather more Intel on this occurrence. I enter my house and stroll to my bed and collide against it and pull my blanket up to my neck and fell asleep. I will find answers tomorrow and days after this.
