Untamed Dragon

Darrell had always been fascinated by dragons. She loved reading books about them, watching movies about them, and even drawing pictures of them. But little did she know that being drawn to gigantic birds like dragons was not because of Drek's opinion of her facial scales, but because she's truly a half-dragon.

Lying down there fainting after Cent's fists had collided with her jaws, Darrell soon finds herself dreaming of flying, not in any plane or flight, but as a dragon herself.

It all started immediately after Darrell's body betrayed her, she had been feeling particularly stressed lately, with school work piling up and exams approaching in a week.

Colliding with Cent's fists, has Darrell giving to her pain. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Soon, she finds herself in a strange but wondrous world.

Darrell, realizing that she was in a different realm, looked around and saw that she was in a vast, open field, surrounded by mountains and forests.

The sky was a deep shade of blue, and the sun was just beginning to rise, casting a warm glow over everything.

But then, something strange happened. Darrell felt a strange sensation in her body as if she was growing larger and stronger.

She looked down and saw that her hands had turned into claws, and her skin was covered in scales. Darrell looked up and saw that she had wings, and a long, powerful tail.

Darrell realized that she had become a dragon.

At first, she was scared. She had never flown before, and she didn't know how to control her new body. But then, instinct kicked in, and Darrell spread her wings and took off into the sky.

It was an incredible feeling. Darrell felt the wind rushing past her, and she could see for miles in every direction. she flew over the mountains, swooping down to skim the treetops, and then soaring back up into the clouds.

"Wow, this feels damn right"

As she flew, Darrell felt a sense of freedom and power that she had never experienced before. she was no longer a small, insignificant human.

Carrying the fainted body of Darrell in his arms, Drek shouted at Cent and his crew

"Move away"

Grief-stricken at the helpless state of Darrell, Cent steps away to allow Drek to pass.

Though Darrell's weight had doubled, Drek nonetheless bore it out, carefully carrying Darrell as if she were but an egg.

Navigating the streets of oak-shore, and upon reaching his home, Drek lies Darrell to his bed.

"I can't take you home like this, your Nana will skin me alive if she sees you like this".

Sleep now Darell while I go fetch someone professional to tend to you.

Darrell stirs as if she was about to wake up, little did Drek know that in another realm, Darrell was busy enjoying flying her awakening dragon.

"Woo huuu, this does feel amazing"

"Enjoying the ride I see"

A second scary-looking dragon said, joining Darrell's illusions.

"Yep, it does feel great don't you think? Look I can even do a double flip"

As if to emphasize her words, Darrell allows her dragon body to flip and flop down in a split.

"Yep, this does feel amazing"

Darrell concludes.

"You are a great dragon I see, I can't do anything close to that double flip. But I have a place I bet even you wouldn't dare to go"

The scary dragon said, indirectly enticing Darrell to dare.

"I sure wouldn't wish to journey there, I just met you a while ago."

"Funny but true. So are you going to miss finding out about this great dragon snare?"

"The what?.... Look brother I do not know you enough to dare, so I better fly back towards home"

"Hmm chicken-ing out I see"

"More like dragon-flapping out. I better go check up on Drek my friend"

A while after Darrell has departed, the scary-looking Dragon busily repeated Drek's name.

"Hmm, Drek. I bet this friend of yours is the key I seek to your dragon's web, dearest stepdaughter".

Quick, get these wires off me.

Shouted an older-looking male to an assistant nearby.

"My lord, try to let go, Aniphet has been long dead. Travelling back in time to return to her home will only keep draining the life of you."

A hunk and handsome man with blue piercing eyes gave this advice to his clan's leader

"What nonsense are you talking about? look at that tube, does she look dead to you?"

"No, she lies as if asleep, but she's been sleeping like this for a hundred years and with each visit you take back in time, you age ten years more when returned."

"WelI, I can't leave my stepdaughter back in time. I may not have succeeded this time, but I won't give her up".

"You didn't succeed this time because even your dragon looked scary to her.

You should take rest from the ageing effect of this time-travelling machine on yourself."

"Hmm, you do speak the truth. Perhaps you can volunteer to travel in time for my sake?"

"Oh, Eck no with a double gin, I am not that patient with kid dragons."

"Not if I asked this of you as your leader, Callahann."

"Except you ask this of me as a leader."

"Good, come then. There is something I haven't told you about. But as you already know, Aniphet is my stepdaughter. However, there is something that she has, something powerful enough to have me always going back in time."

"What is this something that you talk about Kalahari?"

"Perhaps, I better show you since there shouldn't be any secret to hide from you now that you have accepted to go."

The two strange men exit the vast-looking room filled with different machines and nerds as its operators. At one far end of the room, lay a girl who looked a lot like Darrell.

Her head was placed in an upward position inside a big tube. The tube contained greenish liquid and every available sparking wire was attached to her.

After the two men had left, the running electrics connected to her body twitched, but no one saw this, as everyone had been too busy.
