Over the course of a few years I pondered on the thought of how to make myself smaller and keep my power in check. I conversed with many different creatures each and every day. Their world views always intrigued me but most of all many of the creatures asked for more riches or even advice from a goddess. Some even made religions about me wanting me to bless them so their daily lives are bountiful and hassle free. Everyone wanted something from me but I was glad to provide them with anything they could ask for.
Being near the Sendoria kingdom I got to see many different celebrations and people of different races talking in different languages and enjoying their time together. It brought me such happiness but longing. All of a sudden to rip me away from my thoughts I heard a tiny scream. Turning my head I saw a small human child slip and fall off a breaking branch from a gogiaye tree. I lifted my tail catching him from the poisonous spiked roots below. I don’t know why the child decided to climb such a dangerous tree but I understood that humans were indeed very curious creatures.
The child stared at me wide eyed, I took notice that he looked just like the king I met before, blueish black hair with vibrant purple eyes. Truly a prized gift from Mother god that they received I wondered if only these humans who had colorful eyes had hidden magic.
“Hello child are you alright?” I asked softly as I moved my tail closer to my face as the child sat upright
“ I’m fine t-thank you goddess!” He stammered slightly embarrassed but very amazed at how I saved him from a deathly fate.
I laughed softly
“You look just like the king I met when I arrived here to this spot, are you his child?” I purred softly as the child gave a confused look
“ Are you talking about king Atticus?” He blinked as he waited for my answer but was desperate to tell me something important.
“ Yes I do believe that was his name”
“ I’m his 3rd greatest descendant ” He spoke proudly before blushing softly
“ I mean miss goddess I’m one of his descendants. The kingdom has really prospered because of you. You’re revered as the goddess who saved the Sendoria kingdom from poverty. We are the most powerful kingdom across all Valanteria.” He beamed as he told me all about how great and amazing the kingdom became as people and other creatures wanted to live near the dragon goddess who saved their kingdom.
I felt touched and honored but also confused as time very much eluded me with all those years pondering on how to control my excess power. I missed out on most of the life that my gifts were living. Truly determined I needed to figure out how to become smaller and take control of the excess power once I did.
“ Young child I never asked your name “ I spoke softly
“ And no need to call me miss goddess, my name is Bone.” I smiled at the hand child. He been brightly as if he had been given the greatest gift in the world
“ My name is Drogan prince of Sendoria! “ he then bowed cutely with an arm and hand over where his heart was, closing his eyes as he did along with a childish pride as if he had been practicing for this exact moment. He looked very regal to an extent.
I nodded my head as he straightened upright. He had such a look of admiration glazed over his face as he studied me.
“ I can figure out what you're thinking, would you like a ride ?” I laughed heartily as his face brightened with excitement and he nodded vigorously
“ If that is alright with you god-I mean Bone!” He softly ran his fingers through my tail fur as the scales where hidden beneath so he wouldn’t be scratched by their sharpness
I smiled toothy as he inched his way to my neck being careful around my three sets of wings. Yet it didn’t deter him from feeling their feathers as he passed them by each time a new reaction as they all seemed to have a different feel.
Stretching out all six wings I took in a soft breath of air, slowly filling the air sac that laid behind my flame chambers nearer to my spine I stood up slowly being mindful of the trees all around my surroundings. I still had plenty of space in the clearing I was in as I beat my wings gently in the warm breeze, the wind feeling tender and soft against my feathers. I growled tenderly as I stretched each limb while years of unnoticed roots, leaves, grass, rocks, and dirt fell off from my body.
A deep renounced groan escaped deep from my throat as I lifted onto my hind feet, reaching my arms up to the sky as my long back arched as the sounds of my bones cracking and popping into place sounded. I shook softly being mindful of Drogan holding tightly onto the fur of my neck. He was tiny and fragile as most of my gifts were save for the beastfolk.
Soon lifting into the sky I had a rushing feeling of freedom from the ground. I rose higher and higher from the ground, my wing creating powerful gusts of winds as I moved farther from the forest below. Drogan squealed with exhilaration as I soared to a comfortable height as I let the winds take care of my wings. Moving at a nice slowing pace from above while those below saw us moving at great speeds I noticed some flying creatures followed us as well as some of my children who shrilled with excitement as they saw me flying.
Gods. What is a god to you? Someone with power to mold and create? Someone with powers to heal? To destroy? To love? Yes that is what you might think a god is.
I'm a god, a dragon goddess to be precise. My name, well it's Bone. I set out on a journey to find a home, a planet made by myself, molded with my own powers. Even with the help of other gods this home of mine would belong to my children and their kin.
As a gift to me for creating a beautiful and wonderful home, my mother, a goddess above all gods, blessed me with a gift. A seed of different intelligent creatures.
Yet a specific species called humans truly intrigued me. They taught me things about their cultures. They welcomed me into their home. They gave me love and happy memories. They took from me, asking and begging for me to give them whatever they desired. I did, I thought that's what you'd do to something you loved.
No!
It's not. That wasn't love. It was a mistake. An accursed mistake that cost me everything I held dear to me. My home, my children, even my own body. All taken from me. I will make them pay for what they did. What they became. War will wage and in the end…
I Will Be Victorious.
I Will Be What Remains.
I WILL BURN THEM ALL!
