Yani couldn’t wait. She was about to awaken her dragon form like her father and her mother did before her.
All she needed was her parents to perform a Seremony and TADA! She would become a powerful dragon … Or at least she thought so …
- Dad … What are you talking about, can’t you just give me the power of the dragon?
The poor girl didn’t understand. She was about to become the most powerful being of the universe, why not allowing her now? Her father, a muscular man with lots of scars on his face, was looking at her with severe red eyes.
- Yani, I’m afraid a power like ours cannot be granted like that. The ritual will take an entire decennium and YOU will have to find your own way to awake your dragon.
- Wait, so long? But I was supposed to get my powers now!
She couldn’t prevent herself from yelling. She was so disappointed at not being able to transform as much as the man was disappointed by his lazy daughter. He sighed a little then resumed his explanations.
- Do you know why there are so many dragon forms?
- Because we adapt easily?
- Yes … and no! there are many dragon forms because we forge our dragon from our actions. And every one of us is unique so we all get a different form. Why do you think I became that muscular and my dragon form got impenetrable scales?
- Because … you’re strong?
- No! It’s because I wished to protect people I care about with my strength. Then my muscles grew as a proof of the fighter I became, and my scales reinforced
from my will as a protector, like an extend from my soul. The same way, your mother became a beautiful lady with the power of healing from her wish to help the other.
Yani didn’t seem to like this idea.
- So … I won’t become a dragon today? What a shame.
- You might become a dragon if you stay lake this.
Yani felt happy from the news. But not for long.
- You might become a little lizard with few to no power, whose destiny is to wait under a rock for food to come at you just like you wish things to come at you with no effort. As for your body, you might look like a kid until the end of your life. Is that the kind of dragon you wish to be?
- No … But if I had more power, I could do so much! Shouldn’t I get the power and then prove myself?
The father sighed again, but this time he had a sad look.
- Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. Your final body and your dragon form are two things you earn from merit! Not from the dragon blood. You never proved yourself until now. Those 10 years will be yours to chose what kind of dragon you wish to be.
Yani went back in her room angry. Her so waited dragon form didn’t come. And even if it came, it would be something miserable. She didn’t want that and had no idea how to change things. But one thing was sure, she had to clear her head. But how?
