This choice: Lydia's becoming dragon-like herself as she eats more and more of them • Go Back... Having tasted the delicious meat of a dragon for the first time in her life, Lydia knew that she had to have more. The taste was unlike anything that she had ever eaten before in her life. While the scales were thick and moderately difficult to pierce even for someone of her unrivaled strength, the tenderness of the meat underneath was unbelievable. It practically melted away in her mouth as she chewed it, and she swallowed she felt a wave of euphoria that sent shivers down her spine.
But it wasn't just the unrivaled taste of the dragon's flesh that Lydia wanted more of. No, while the dragon meat was a delicacy like no other, what Lydia truly wanted was to experience the thrill of dominating one of the mighty beasts once more. The feeling of supreme control that she felt as she had devoured her first dragon, the look of sheer terror on its face as she had effortlessly repelled its flaming breath with a single hand, the way the beast had used all of the strength within its massive form to escape from her but was unable to do so, and listening to it's pathetically helpless cries of agony as she tore the skin right off of its bones... Yes, she needed to feel all of it again.
And so, with that feeling of absolute domination fresh in her mind, Lydia set out on her hunt for more of those delectable dragons. It didn't take her long before she located another of the fearsome fire-breathing behemoths, and while this one was a good bit bigger than the last one she had brought down, Lydia herself had also grown bigger since then. Her power was more than enough to bring this dragon to its knees.
Using the same strategy as she had the first time, Lydia lunged onto the dragon and sank her razor-sharp nails deep into its flesh. Holding herself in place, she then proceeded to ravenously devour her prey, completely ignoring any attempts it made to defend itself. The dragon's long tail whipped at Lydia's back, its claws raked at her sides, its flames bathed her entire body, but nothing that the dragon did had any effect on the newly empowered Lydia. All of it was simply shrugged off with a maniacal laugh as Lydia continued to tear into her feast. Within mere moments the beast let out its final cry, and its body collapsed to the ground in a lifeless heap.
As she finished of the last of her defeated prey, Lydia let out a loud belch and patted her stomach victoriously. The dragons' meat had already been digested and absorbed into her body, the corrosiveness of her stomach acids having been augmented along with the rest of her body by the dark power she now possessed. Absorbing the beast's strength had made Lydia significantly more powerful than before, but the only change to her body's physical appearance was that she had gained another 5 feet in height, and now stood at an imposing 15 feet tall. Being able to eat as much as she wanted without ever having to worry about it affecting her flawless figure would be very useful in the near future, as even after her most recent meal, Lydia still hungered for more.
The next dragon that Lydia found was a good deal smaller than either of the two she had already slain, and with the height that she gained from her most recent prey, Lydia was able to look the beast eye-to-eye. Seeing a human that matched their size was not an ordinary occurrence for the dragons, so this little one was understandably worried as it saw Lydia standing before it. Not knowing what to do, the terrified dragon quickly turned to try and fly away. However, before it could even manage to get its body off of the ground, Lydia reached out and grabbed it by the tail, halting it in its tracks. Then, with a mighty heave, she swung the dragon over her shoulder and slammed it into the ground at her feet. The impact knocked the wind out of her helpless prey, and before it was able to lift a claw to defend itself, Lydia swung her free arm forward and severed the beast's neck with her nails. Having easily beheaded the dragon, Lydia began devouring the lifeless corpse.
This cycle continued several more times, each time becoming easier than the last as Lydia grew in strength and size with each kill. Over the course of her hunt, Lydia noticed that each dragon she devoured made her own body take on a more draconic appearance. Eventually, after having slain and devoured over a dozen dragons, Lydia's physical appearance had undergone some drastic changes. First was her height, which had ascended to a mighty 50 feet tall. Then there was her skin, which was now coated in a layer of armor-like red scales. On her back she had grown a pair of massive crimson wings, a single beat of which was capable of calling forth a fearsome gale. Her eyes had once again changed, now being golden in color, and her pupils became reptilian slits. The last change of note was that she had grown a powerful tail, which she had quickly learned to manipulate at will as a terrifying weapon.
If she was powerful before, Lydia was all but invincible now. Ignoring the fact that she was now big enough to crush a man flat beneath her feet with a single stomp, and that her magic was powerful enough to bring down an entire army, she now possessed new physical abilities that would make even her old self tremble in fear. Her new body was coated in a layer of natural armor so thick that not even the sharpest of blades could put a scratch on it, and her tail was essentially a third arm that she could use to fend off attacks from behind. Her defense had absolutely no blind spots. In addition to that, Lydia had gained the ultimate weapon of dragonkind: their ability to spew forth a searing inferno from their mouths. With wings that would allow her to soar through the skies, Lydia could rain fire down from the heavens. None would be able to escape from her wrath.
After taking a moment to admire her new form, Lydia decided that it was time to set out for her next destination. With a beat of her mighty wings, Lydia took to the skies. As she flew off into the distance, she couldn't wait to reach the place she had in mind.
But where exactly was Lydia headed?   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
