Chapter 81: Wendy Pt 2


    "Yeah, but I''m not a dragon. Yes, I can change into one, but I don''t want my friends and family to be scared of me. Also, to answer your question, n, I''m not scared of myself or the power. My magic isn''t something that will just run wild or something I could lose control of, but what does scare me is my friends not trusting me to protect them. The feeling that they aren''t sure who will destroy them, foe or me."


    I left out a sigh. Honestly, I was probably the biggest dragon in the world at this point, so how do I convince the people closest to me?


    "Maybe they just need time to get used to you; dragons are the most feared creature''s on the; you must understand why they are acting this way. I am surprised they stille close to you. Just give it time, also, I will be there, but I don''t get it, with mother there, shouldn''t they be more epting of you?"


    "Okay, times toe clean about Momsie. I turned your mother into a Dragon-Kin. Ha! I said it! I really thought that was going to be..."


    "YOU DID WHAT?!"


    Well, that was the reaction I had expected, and Wendy sent me rolling as my backrest stood up fast and whirled on me.


    "Jeez, a little warning before you jump out of your skin! She is fine; look,e on, and we will go back and see her, okay?"


    "She better be alright, or I''ll..."


    "What? Going to try and bite me again?"


    "Shut it, human!"


    "Hey! This human has a name and will be very cross if you don''t start using it! Hyde is my name!"


    "Fine! Shut it, Hyde!"


    "Woman..."


    I let the sentence fall apart, it wasn''t worth making my head hurt more with her silly arguing, and it was just riling me up. I turned and started to walk out of the cave.


    "Wait! Where are you going?"


    "Seriously? I just told you..."


    "That''s not what I mean... you''re a male, and I can''t fight you...so..."


    "No! Jeezus, do the dragons really act like that?"


    "Act like?"


    "Okay, let''s get something straight right now! I am not some pig looking to use women! Is that what I really look like? Wait, don''t answer that; I bald and covered in tattoos, of course, I look like that! Grrr..."


    "Sorry...it is just what happens."


    "It''s not your fault; this isn''t my first run-in with this type of bullshit; I just thought the dragons might be better or something. This just proves that they are just arge version of humans with natural weapons!"


    "What is up with you? You are a man, right?"


    "Honestly, how many wrong impressions are you ogin to get of me in a row? YES, I AM A MAN! I just don''t think men should act like that!"


    "Hmmm, I guess I can see why you are having so much trouble then."


    "What?"


    "Nothing, if this is the real you, then I would like to keep it that way."


    "Mmm, okay then, now can we go? I left before breakfast, and I''m starting to get hungry! Let''s head back before my wives send a search party out for me."


    "Wives?"


    "Yes, wives! Don''t even get me started about them! they are half the reason I needed the break!"


    "But they are your wives; don''t they just listen to you?"


    <em>''HAHAHAHA!'' -Gripton</em>


    <em>''HAHAHAHA!''</em>


    "HAHAHAHA! You''re a riot! Just listen to me? GWAHAHA!"


    "Are you alright?"


    I wiped a tear from my eye as I got myughter under control.


    "Yeah, I''m okay."


    "What was so funny?"


    "When you meet my wives, you will know, hehe."


    "You''re very strange; you know that, right?"


    "So I have been told."


    I turned, still smiling about thement, ha! The day when my wives "just" listened to me, hehe, frigging hrious. I walked out of the cave and waited for Wendy to follow. She soon met me outside, and I started to light my body with fire.


    "What are you doing?!"


    "Hmmm? Getting ready to fly...is there something im forgetting?"


    "Well...I just thought...you know, since you a dragon and all...I don''t know...I thought you might want to fly with me?"


    I was stunned silent for a moment. I mean, I wasn''t like it was taxing to hold the form, but it was just weird the way she asked it.


    <em>''Oh ya, so weird. You know are some point, you are really going to have to pick up a pair of senses!'' -Gripton.</em>


    <em>''You mean...''</em>


    <em>''Yup, your hopeless.'' -Gripton.</em>


    "Umm, yeah, we can fly together if you want."


    "Really?! I mean, good..."


    Okay, I can see it now...wait, what the hell, old man? Are you kidding me? She isn''t royalty; this isn''t part of the n!


    <em>''She is a dragon, you idiot! Marrying any dragon is worth a thousand royal princess!'' -Gripton.</em>


    Mmmmmm, fucker.


    "Okay, Uncle! I''m changing, but you better keep up!"


    I changed, but this time I restricted the growth, so I was only slightly bigger than her. The expression she gave me was startled and surprised, making me smile inside.


    "Ready?"


    "You can just be whatever size you want? Who are you?"


    "Do you know a god named Gripton?"


    "...Thee Gripton? Like the God of all things and the father of all dragons that live in the mountains of Karstia? The same God that watches over us all?"


    "Yes, that one! That fucker is in my head right now!"


    "Wait, why can''t I tell if your lying?"


    <em>''Well, I was hoping that little show of my power would be convincing, but...Oh dear.'' -Gripton.</em>


    I looked over at Wendy, but she wasn''t moving.


    <em>''Did you kill her?''</em>


    <em>''I hope not, Thungarda will be pissed at me if I identally kill his grand Daughter!'' -Gripton.</em>


    <em>''Pissed at you? I am the one on the losing end of this deal!''</em>


    Suddenly I heard a loud gasp and redirected my attention to Wendy, who was now hacking a couch out. Well, she wasn''t dead, but..oh...dear.


    <em>''Hmm? This is going to be a very serious problem.'' -Gripton.</em>


    Fuck.
