Part 2, enjoy!

Instantly Merlin's body started changing rapidly. Morphing. Growing. He had shut his eyes as soon as he stepped off the edge.
He felt the pressure of the air and wind blowing his hair. His eyes hurt and his skin was prickling. His arms started to feel heavier, the pressure lifting them up. The air was being caught under his arms.
Suddenly he was floating. He opened his eyes and suddenly saw everything…
Images flashed before his eyes, he felt more alive than ever. His understanding, awareness and being increased dramatically.
He saw images of the creation of the earth. He saw the landscape forming from volcanic gasses; toxic to any living creature. The earth's surface cooled creating a crust and allowing water to shape the landscape with oceans and rivers. He saw the creation of life forms; from the smallest microscopic creature to the age of the dinosaurs.
Suddenly an egg was born from the lava of a volcano on an island. A blue light filled the inside of the volcano, coming from the egg. The lava turned blue and the whole mountain trembled as it erupted. Lava spurted up into the sky and cascaded over the edges, instantly vaporising anything in its path. The lava covered the island as it began to sink.
Just as the tip of the volcano was consumed by the sea, a huge blue dragon flew out of the water. First its head as gold eyes opened, then its neck covered with spikes, bat-like wings, body and lastly its tail. Water cascaded off its back and wings. The scales glistened like diamonds in the ocean. Its huge ears swivelled around taking in its surroundings like a bat. The steady beat of the large wings sounded like drums in the deep.
It roared thunderously showing its large pearly white teeth. The sound ended almost musically as though the creature was speaking. The spikes along its body quivered as the dragon aimed for the water again. Diving in and then coming out further away with a large sea creature in his jaws. The creature struggled until he bit down hard releasing venom into his prey.
The dragon's gold eyes glittered in concentration as it disappeared, becoming invisible. Its prey flew through the air apparently by itself, blood dripped down into the sea.
Time flashed past as the dragon discovered its abilities and the planet which he lived on. Apes evolved into homo Ergaster and homo Erectus and finally homo Sapiens. All the time the dragon appeared to be searching for something or someone. A connection and someone to shares his powers with. His other half.
More images flashed past and the great dragon was finally captured by Uther Pendragon and chained. Forgotten.
His spirit lived on, searching until he sensed what he was looking for…Merlin
