Luke turned to what his eyes had just barely seen and what he saw were a group of... mages? and they were standing next to some kind of ruin. They looked kind of shady so Luke went to a nearby bush to listen in on what they were saying, with further inspection the group seemed to be closing in and surrounding something.
"What do we have here?" One of the mages said holding a spiked mace
"It seems a cat has come and try to take whatever we're going to find down in these here ruins." Another said as Luke then looked at what the mages were eyeing down, it was a cat similar to Carla
The cat has clean white fur with shining blue eyes, on its sides were claw-like patterns that were blue and its ears were blue as well. The cat was in a fighting posture getting ready to face the mages, Luke was impressed as the cat seemed to have a very impressive stance with no openings which just tells him that it was well trained in martial arts.
"You're going to fight!?" One of the mages yelled
"What can a cat like you do to us!?" A mage yelled as they began to laugh but stopped and looked towards the cat, Luke also seemed surprised as suddenly the cat began to glow emitting a small blue light from its body
First all of its fur began to turn into scales, its legs then grew and claws grew on them. It's arms then increased in muscle and length while also attaining claws, the torso grew in muscle and size as well with the upper body being more built. The cat's tail changed to a long scaly dragon tail, the cat's head then morphed into a much more dragon-like appearance and it's eyes glowed along with growing 4 horns. Finally, the angelic wings on it's back changed into large dragon wings.
It was now a humanoid dragon a bit taller than Luke with white scales, blue eyes and 4 blue horns on his head. The claws on it's hands and feet are sharp and coloured blue, it has white scaled large wings on it's back with blue webbing and spikes running down it's back to the end of it's tail. Overall, the furry cat before was now a humanoid dragon and the mages from before were freaking out.
"What the heck!?" A mage yelled in fear
"Did that cat change into a dragon!?" Another yelled with even more fear
"This is why you shouldn't underestimate me even though I was a cat." The cat now dragon said in a mature and strong voice, from the voice Luke could tell that the cat was easily male in gender and seemed to be quite mature
"Holy crap, did that cat just turn into a dragon?" Luke shouted quietly
[That's a first, definitely one of the weirdest and awesome things we have ever seen] Albion added with surprise
"He seems to be quite confident, let's see what the cat can do." Luke suggested as he continued to watch
The dragon then rushed towards the mages at impressive speeds and quickly gave a side kick to the mage on his left sending him flying into a tree falling unconscious, when the other mages saw this they charged at the dragon and swung their weapons only to fail miserably as the dragon then used it's tail and smacked 2 of the mages away as the dragon then did a front flip and used it's tail and smashed another mage making a crater on the ground where the mage layed unconscious. The dragon thought it was over so it eased itself but failed to notice a figure behind as the figure swung it's huge sword downwards but seeing this Luke with amazing speed kicked him away from the dragon who turned around surprised to see Luke kicking his assailant thrown away but got up, the dragon looked at Luke who flashed a smile and it told the dragon that Luke was no threat and turned to his attacker.
"Let me handle this." Luke said as the dragon hesitantly backed up and let Luke step forward and engaged the target who got ready to fight, Luke also took his own stance which had no openings which impressed the dragon/cat being
"I don't know who you are, but I can tell you aren't good guys." Luke said before rushing at impressive speed towards the attacker and gave a punch that he blocked with crossed arms but Luke quickly gave a double side chop on both the man's sides making him flinch
Luke then gave multiple incredibly fast punches to the man's abdomen as well as arms, legs and face before uppercutting him in the jaw making the man go flying into the air a couple metres. Luke then took the opportunity and grew his wings out which surprised the dragon but quickly refocused on the fight as Luke flew into the air doing a back flip mid-air as his leg was coated in blue and white energy.
"Vanishing Dragons Burst Kick!" Luke stated as he nailed the man right in the stomach and sending him flying into the forest knocking down multiple trees from the force that he was sent away, Luke then gracefully landed back onto his feet and looked at his work before smiling and looking at the dragon who had wide eyes. "Hey there, you okay?"
The dragon was just staring at Luke for a bit before shaking his head out from his dazed state before giving a nod. "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for the assistance."
"No problem, so do you have a name?" Luke asked
"You can call me Orin, what's yours?" The dragon/cat now known as Orin asked
"My name is Luke, nice to meet ya, since we took care of these guys want to explore those ruins?" Luke asked with a smile
"Sure, let me just change back." Orin said as he was engulfed in a blue light and changed back into his cat form. "This is what I actually look like."
"I know, I was watching from the bushes over there, I must say that your skills in martial arts are quite impressive." Luke stated
"Thanks, your skills are impressive as well, I taught myself how to fight and control my transformation to protect myself." Orin stated with pride
"You trained well, now let's go into these ruins." Luke said as he began to walk into the stone structure that seemed pretty dark so he took out his wings and they began to glow lighting up the tunnel, Orin then smiled before following Luke into the ruins
"So Orin do you live somewhere around here?" Luke asked curiously
"No, I'm just travelling getting stronger and learning new things about the world." Orin said which Luke could admire such passion
"That's cool, I had actually joined a guild called Cait Shelter not too long ago and have had a pretty fun time with all the crazy requests that were posted." Luke said
"Requests? Guilds?" Orin said in a confused manner
"You don't know? well I didn't know before someone told me so I can't say anything, basically a guild is a group that you can join where you can take requests that are posted from people needing help and gain rewards like Jewels and maybe additional rewards as well." Luke explained as Orin was quite impressed
"What 'crazy' requests have you taken when you joined." Orin asked
"Oh boy where do I start, first we fought a serpent with 3 heads, next a lightning chicken and after that defeated a dark guild with this crazy leader." Luke said
"Sounds like you have had quite the crazy and exciting journey since joining that guild." Orin said amused but then flinched when a voice was heard
[No kidding] Albion said
"Who the heck was that!?" Orin yelled looking around
"Well uhhhh... uhhh... oh whatever it's too late anyways, that's Albion that just said that." Luke stated
"Albion?" Orin asked as he calmed down
"He's the dragon that lives inside of me right now, actually he's in my wings." Luke said pointing at his wings
[Nice to meet you, I'm Albion] Albion said
"A dragon lives inside of you!? that is awesome! it's nice to meet you as well Albion." Orin said energetically
"Yeah, but can you keep it a secret because I don't want anybody else knowing that Albion exists inside me right now." Luke asked
"Sure, I can keep a secret, but what do you guys think is at the end of this place?" Orin asked as they continued walking
[Who knows? there could be many different things that could be found in places like this] Albion stated
"Such as maybe treasure, ancient writings, ancient paintings and very unlikely an old city belonging to ancient civilisations," Luke stated
"Sounds cool," Orin said simply as then at the end of the tunnel they could see a wider area in front of them. "I see a bigger room up ahead, let's get running."
"Right!" Luke and Orin then began to run towards the spotted area and once they had arrived in said place, they were now in a round room with stone pillars layed out in certain spots that held up the roof and on the walls were 4 old looking paintings from who knows how long ago
"What the heck is this?" Orin asked nobody as they looked around the room
"They seem to be paintings but very old." Luke said as he walked up to the first one followed by Orin
The first painting showed a red dragon standing tall surrounded in fire, it was hard to see but the creature was most certainly a dragon. It's wings were extended far and had green glowing eyes.
"Is that a dragon?" Orin asked
"I think so." Luke replied. 'Why does it remind me of someone?'
[Let's check the other painting] Albion suggested as they walked over to the next which showed a white dragon standing atop a mountain looking down and it had blue glowing eyes
"It's similar to the first one but instead it's on a cliff and white." Orin said
"Yeah." Luke said simply. "Albion is that you?"
[It looks like me but I'm not certain] Albion replied also confused
"Well let's take a look at the next." Orin suggested as they walked over to the next painting and what it showed then was the painting was separated with a line down the middle separating 2 symbols, the first symbol was the symbol for Infinity and the other was a symbol for Apocalypse
"Infinity and Apocalypse?" Luke said to himself. 'Does it mean like Ophis and Great Red?'
"There's not much to say about this one, let's check out the last painting then." Orin said as they made their way to the very last painting and what they saw confused them
"What's this?" Luke wondered as all the picture showed was a completely black background with a pair of glowing purple eyes in the middle surrounded by 5 lights of different colours, the first was light blue, the second was red, the third was green, the fourth was brown and the last was yellow. "I'm not sure what to say."
"There are many questions we can ask about this painting, what are those lights? why is the background completely black?" Orin stated
[You can also ask, what are those pairs of eyes? and why are they surrounded by the lights?] Albion added to the conversation
"It is quite the mystery, is that all there is to the ruins?" Luke wondered aloud as his eyes then locked on the something at one of the ends of the room, it was a pedestal of some kind with a stone tablet layed on top of it. "Look over there."
"What is that?" Orin asked as they went over to the tablet and scanned over it, but the words they couldn't read as it was written in some strange language and there were 2 paragraphs from what they could see. "I can't read any of it."
"Me neither, I wonder what it says." Luke said as he held a hand to his chin. "Albion, can you read it?"
[I actually can, this is written in the language of the dragons from long ago, I will try and decipher as much of it as I can] Albion said and after a bit Luke's wings glowed and the translated text appeared in front of them [I put a projection up in front so you can read it yourself]
"Okay let's see." Luke started and began to read aloud. "It says the following..."
- Ice, Fire, Wind, Earth and Lightning are the elements that will bring forth the pillars that will bring it all into one, the power of the pillars will bring forth command overall to the locked being -
- Red, White, Infinity and Apocalypse, are all beings of great and immense power. But there was one which was locked away since the beginning of it's creation, it's power is what must be kept under lock as it was said by God. No matter what reason, let it be war, greed or anything else, this must be kept true. Even if it the seal were to break the 4 powers will be our last hope.
##c#o is what must be kept sealed -
"Albion what's with this obscured text?" Luke asked with a raised eyebrow
[I'm not sure, I wasn't able to decipher that last part] Albion replied
"Maybe it's a name of whatever they sealed." Orin added getting a nod from Luke
"We won't get anything else from it so let's get going out of the ruins." Luke suggested as Orin agreed and they left the ruins and it's paintings where they were and made it back into the fresh air
"So what are you going to do now Orin?" Luke asked
"Well I was going to continue travelling but..." Orin started
"But..." Luke said slowly
"I think I want to join your guild, it sounds like it would better help to increase my strength and will be quite the fun time as well." Orin said with a smile on his face
"Really!? what made you think that?" Luke asked
"Well, after seeing you fight that mage before and hearing about what has happened to you since joining I found it quite interesting, so I hope you can let me join." Orin asked
"Of course, it's good to have you buddy." Luke answered
"Yes! let's get going!" Orin cheered as he followed Luke
"Right partner!"
