Sleeping Dragons

"You've been quiet a long time, Dragon." Ra said as he projected his mind towards the dragon soul inside his body. He was in a different space now, and the familiar crystal blue Dragon lay curled up at its center. The Dragon yawned, my power is unneeded, I rest. What? Am I not allowed?" The Dragon replied sarcastically. Ra did not deign to answer, "You need a name," he said thoughtfully, "I like Geb, that's settled then, your name is Geb." "Excuse you?" the Dragon roared, "I just so happen to have a name, thank you!" Ra shrugged, "It is best if you don't get too riled up, Geb, I wouldn't want you to disturb your rest." A pair of scaly lids slowly covered those ice blue glassy orbs. Geb had blinked in a slow exaggerated manner, dumbfounded by how aloof Ra was being before him. He was a mighty Dragon! This human should be cowering in fear! Ra flashed a small smile, "Relax, Geb. Have you met Gwyn?"

"Gwyn?" Geb asked cautiously. "Yes, My Dragon," Ra said, beaming. "Your....Dragon?" Ra nodded. "WE ARE NOT YOUR PETS HUMAN!" Geb roared. "No," said Ra softly, "You are not, Gwyn is my son." If Geb had all four legs he would have sprang to his feet. Instead he fixed Ra with a curious gaze and remained silent. "At least, he and his sister name me father," continued Ra with an ardent look in his eyes. "Anyway," he said shaking himself back to the present, "Come and meet Gwyn," Geb snorted at this, "You seem to have forgotten, Human," he sneered disdainfully, "I am a mere soul, and confined to this place." he finished, and his narrow eyes grew narrower. Ra shrugged at this, "Perhaps, if you rely on your own power you are indeed, trapped," Ra said, "However if we were to rely on mine...." he left that sentence hanging in the air and adopted a cocky grin. "Come if you wish..." he said as he retreated from the space. As he left, Ra trailed a pathway for Geb to walk. This magical path would allow Geb to take a temporary corporeal form, it would even restore his missing limbs and torn wings. When he had finished erecting the magic path he had already returned to his body, and found himself beneath the cloud-white form of Gwyn. Ra noticed the rippling muscles forming beneath his scales and the glossy luster they exuded. He rubbed a hand against Gwyn's snout and was jolted out of his reverie when Gwyn snorted loudly and wrinkled his nose. Laughing lightly, Ra was about to push him off of him when the translucent form of Geb materialised at the foot of the bed. His form had shrank somewhat to fit the available space but he looked no less regal for it. Cold, blue, even as a soul Geb radiated a magnificent freezing aura, Ra felt the temperature drop many degrees but ignored it. "Gwyn," he whispered, and nudged the sleeping Dragon, Gwyn awoke with a roar, snarling. But seeing Ra, he blinked slowly before he spoke, "Yes, Father?" Ra's heart swelled with pride, "Meet Geb," he said happily, and angled Gwyn's head in Geb's direction. Instantly, Gwyn sprang up from the bed; his silver eyes shining with questions. Ra knew what must be burning in his mind, he had done all this for him after all. "I have some questions for you myself, later." he said to Geb who nodded, "Have fun, Gwyn." Ra said and smiled at seeing his shaking scales from excitement and left the room.

Once he'd gone a certain distance his mind once again wandered to Arda, "How magnificent would such a place be?" he wondered, and his heart trembled with excitement at the thought of one day reaching that place where even Gods are common. "Full Godling, huh?" With that he raced to the Arena. His chest was pumping so hard he relished the movement and soon arrived outside the Arena's entrance. Entering the crowded building, Ra made his way to a console. The Arena was truly a marvelous design, it was not restricted to merely Dragon simulations, but could construct anything as long as you could enter the parameters. It was to this effect that Ra wished to train his combat ability, his target: Goblins. and not the little brown skinned ones that infested villages and caves that were common to this world. But the Suahc, those beings that caused even Gods to feel fear. After 20 minutes, Ra wiped his forehead satisfied with the rendition of the Suahc that had appeared. Their strength was set to be half as strong as a real one, Ra didn't think so highly of himself that be believed he could take on a Suahc at full power. He loaded the Suahc to a training room and prepared to enter the formation when he recalled something, "Shit! I don't have a weapon!" And he smacked himself in the head for the oversight, "I can't soul form, what should I do? Should I attempt to Anima form?" This thought floated through his head mindlessly, then his thoughts sharpened, he latched onto it. "It seems this is all i can do!" he thought determinedly. He saved the Suahc file and teleported to a quiet area, recalling the soul formation Instructor Shizune had set up so long ago, he was confident that if he modified it, made it slightly more powerful, then it should suit his needs. "Right, lets begin!"
