Before long I lost track of time amidst the black void that will soon dominate me, only I was sure that long since flowed from me, because whatever he did not know if it was "day" or "night", the was tired and in periodic moments, I literally went out, surrounded by the cold embrace of intangible assets, which took on without me I could stop. So, slowly, time was running from me, boredom and lack of feeling and increasing self-sufficiency annoying me. I missed being hungry, thirsty, need to breathe... Anyway, live. Time has not robbed me just feelings, but also took away my old physicist, however, not so bad.
I grew a lot during all this time, it no longer seemed the lizard with wings that every baby dragon appears, now I filled out my neck grew, thickened and become more sinuous, forming an "s", the muscles of my developed legs, but not much, since I could not exercise them. But, in fact, the most notable changes were in my wings, tail, face and back. My wings have become almost three times the size of my body and became very powerful, due to the continuing pursuit of "fly". My sauce, I served as a rudder during the trip, had been also muscular and powerful, crystalline spikes also grown, and the middle of it, several sharp spikes sprouted. My horns grew and began to flake and become more deadly, the features of my face became more robust, explaining my gender, male and, from the spike from my eyes up to the nearest club, in my sauce, already begun to fall, became the softer, thin and gray.
Darky, as I have dubbed the "spirit" who lived inside of me, no longer haunted me since I gave up trying to kill me, seemed to be in a deep sleep, although I suspect that it was he who caused that feeling of self-sufficiency.
And time ran slowly.
Then I came to a star, actually three, one primary and the other two orbiting. Heat them flooded its gravitational field and beyond. About three planets were visible from that point where I was. One of them caught my attention because it sprang from a faint, as if he had built his own star. No more waiting, I went to him, curious, and somewhat hopefully, in power, perhaps, to end this trip at random.
The planet, which was the last of three that my sight could reach, was, at that distance, extremely beautiful, so it was possible to discern amid the shrill brightness of the planet and of the nebulae which overshadowed the landscape beneath them. Portions sovereign separated portions of water, also plenty of land, and this, in some isolated spots, large portions of bright green stood out the only thing that impoverished landscape, a dull gray, cold and dreary that covered most earthy portion of the planet.
At first glance strange, do not deny. Never, in nature, I had seen so much gray in the same place, even in our villages, the former Drungsdom, consisting of rough stone, it was almost impossible so rock on the surface, and grouped in such numbers, I point out that train dee blur.
Approached me more and more was possible to discern the details of it. The gray blur soon became a mass of complex constructions desinforme, compared to Drungsdom rustic buildings, tall buildings scraped the atmosphere, other buildings, relatively more creepers, transformed the landscape into something more heterogeneous, breaking, casually, the excessive gray. But something else was distracting and acizentava further evolved planet, a dense gray smoke, like we, dragons, cast out puffs of fire to let go, making it even more obstructed the view of the planet.
So, I approached the planet enough to lure him began to pull me and my sense of self-sufficiency began to weaken. With hunger, tiredness and the need to breathe back, descidi then throw myself on the planet, leaving me the seriousness of this, as a meteor that becomes the meteorite be admitted by the planet.
For what?
I was greeted by an intoxicating cloud of gas, toxic, and so dense that I came to feel, slightly, that blessed feeling autossuficiênci back, besides having completely obstructed vision, passing then to fall blindly. Subtly, was out of the black cloud, and finally was able to observe, with greater detail what he had to offer.
Taking over the position of the suns, I was starting out the day I entered that place. And for that reason, the pathways through those buildings were deserted, except for some stray animals routes and several complex machines and weird, and several bright spots caused the glow that had brought me to that peaceful planet. Without much else to do, as the faint dawn prevented me to observe more details of place, effectively I directed me to the top of a building nearby and decided to wait there until enough suns illuminate the landscape.
So far from where I stood, a strange metallic clang called my attention. Do not quite know what he stated, but judging what happened then it certainly marked the beginning of the day.
Life began to spring from within the buildings. Life in this case shown as strange beings tall, his body covered with thick, but beautiful, for they, indeed, of different colors ranging from acceptable, as black, caramel, ashes, absurd such as reds, purples, greens, had a muzzle jumped, but the face in a whole was flat, the ears had different formats, from simple, just for the hearing, the large and pompous, which was probably synonymous with beauty among them, besides a long and beautiful tail, very hairy in some. Reminded of some animals Drungsdom, said cats, but these were bipedal and more robust than the felines in Drungsdom.
I do not deny, I was amazed at the sight of those exotic animals as they were even more different than the animals-pink-without-fur, although they were more beautiful. I stood there for a while about that strange, flat rock, watching the movement of those eccentric beings. They locomoviam as much walking as in their interesting contraptions that resembled large bottles and closed with wheels.
So I went down down.
For what?
I landed softly on the floor and tried to bring me closer to the group. I left a slight throat purring away (Yes, I purr, but more resembles a rawr shaked than a purr) and let his head tilted trying to demonstrate ingenuity and curiosity. But the more I tried to count, the more they moved away from me, fearful, many ran screaming, and the frequency of acute cries, which were deduced, largely female, things hard to understand. So I decided to try another approach, closing your eyes and opened his mouth, sweet liberated rawr's followed by labaretas graceful, like a light show. To me it looked very beautiful and worthy of jokes. He hoped that they would like and get close to me, but when I opened my eyes, there was nobody in front of me in some more of them running, farther out.
Suddenly I felt something quickly ensnare and tighten my neck just felt Darky agree, though, before we could show any reaction, a powerful impact was inflicted upon my neck.
And I fainted.
I can not say I woke up as well, because the darkness of the place was such that the mixing of my coma. There, too, knew where he was, and even got to find out later, anyway. The only thing I could discern was a passage blocked by some object that seemed to float in order to let light beams of light shine on its edges. Later it was discovered that object port.
After a long and uncertain period, the light beam in front of me rose and bathed all over the place, blurring my vision momentarily, unaccustomed to the light, then a major, massive tail, and having the same beings that I had watched. Stood at the door of that little room and said something out loud, but I could not understand anything he said. Then he repeated.
- Arise! - This time I understood perfectly well what he said, despite not knowing what will happen as well. Apparently not out Darky, since I could not feel any difference in my being to indicate his action, but also could not find another explanation.
- Arise, Beast! - At the stroke of the third roar of the charm of surprise to have understood what he said were broken and was replaced by pure fear of what he could do if I did not obey, so I got up, keeping me in silence.
- Finally! - The rage of contempt in his voice shone - Now, come with me! - Saying this, he turned aside, releasing a close where I could pass. I slowly moved toward me. In fact, until I moved too slowly, as if he had just finished a thorough job and was unearthly me to a quiet, comfortable place to sleep.
Hoped that I would be guided somewhere, but instead was put the lead of a small group of these strange beings, like I was the captain of an expedition. At that time it was possible to analyze what surrounded me: the figure that berrara me, showed up, certainly one of those strange beings, possessed by an orange cast to the members well trained and worked, but the body in a whole was bulky and his expression was serious and sudden. Besides him, other beings of the small group, also members of the same race, both very similar to the first, but having less pomp in the countenance. All patients had fulfilled a tool and wide, ending in three sharp, pointed tips, or, as you probably already have noticed, tridents, tools were pointed at my neck and periodically pushed against him, so I walked ahead.
And so we, in a mutually solemn march. As we proceeded, the scenery around seemed simply undergoing a metamorphosis in a matter of steps, the big gray buildings quickly gave way to lush forests and sandy soil, however, still this way, the landscape exuded beauty and splendor.
Surely you must be thinking now "How so?", and I do not blame you for it, anyway, after living with your kind, human reader, I discovered that some things do not make sense in your Indeed, as the fact of a landscape, simply change, in a matter of mere few steps, especially at idle where we were, and tridents are things somewhat outdated for a civilization apparently evolved like that. But soon, you will understand, I assure you.
Suddenly, then, tridents were removed from my neck and placed in 'x' in front of me, symbolizing that I stopped. Raised, because the view for the first time since the walk began, in order to know the reason for the stop. We were all dressed up to a front seat, surrounded by gold, and earth and trees, sitting in, was one of those big cats. This red coat was marked by various symbols in yellow throughout the body, or at least throughout the visible part of this which, incidentally, was wide as he wore very few clothes, compared to the group that had brought me up there , summed up in a simple loincloth on the private parts, however, yet little is seemed to be worth much more than all that the soldiers claimed. It was also robust, but appeared to have more pomp and prestige.
I watched him for a moment, just as he had for me. Still not what was happening was happening and trying to digest all this information when, suddenly, a movement so fast that it seemed longer be teleported himself, he disappeared from his throne and reappeared a few centimeters my nose, hanging, upside down, looking at me more intently than before.
- Let's see what we have here? - Said giving small flicks in my horns - What are you doing here, little one?
Only nodded, looking symbolize that had nothing to do there.
- Nothing? But why, then, you are here and they were scaring my people? - He said that putting his nose closer to me, so threatening.
Shrunk a little with the tone and approach him and threatening once more fearful, and do not know how to explain myself without words, I said, not caring whether or not he would understand me.
- I'm-I'm sorry, I did not want to scare anyo... - I had to cut the speech. Now that the cat turned his face expressionless and relaxed for a denoting the pure fear and panic. With a movement as quick as before, he fell where he was hanged.
- Wait a minute there... I know that your accent. Thou art the Drungsdom, is not it? - Barely able to nod yes and he turned to or soldiers and they knew that they would take a terrifying sermon. - Come out here right now, his incompetent! Do not know how prestigious is the visit of a friend dragon to treat him well?! - He ordered it with reverberating cry and soldiers came stumbling. He grabbed what was closest to me before it could move and whispered something inaudible. Soon after he made a reverence, and began to run.
I was watching the soldiers ran away, trying to understand what was happening. When I went back to look ahead I had to throw myself back because of the scare that took. That cat who gave the sermon in the other was now so close to me that it would touch his nose if it was not my reaction.
- Oh, my rudeness! Let me introduce myself, I am the king Hango Sha, reign over the entire southern portion of the continent of Musu, but that you may already know, is not it? - The question was rhetorical and then he gave it a lively laughter in the air. I gave thanks for it, since even realize why he has changed the treatment to me suddenly, much less who he was, or that kingdom. - So tell me charitable dragon, what brings you here in this beautiful day? And what happened to the ancients? There is much we do not have news of your people.
Again I found myself trapped. Do not know how to explain to him that Drungsdom not even exist anymore, even with him looking at me with that look so anxious.
- Lord, the feast is ready - The relief came over my body again when one soldier who had run away finally returned with the information. I was somewhat surprised, too, with the speed with which the soldier had given information about the banquet had been prepared and the same.
- Hmm... Right. - It was clear in his voice, he did not like being interrupted - Follow our distinguished guest, however, and soon I shall gather to you. - And with that, the king went up in the tree just above.
We walked the same path by which I was taken to the king, but now I could walk freely without a pitchfork in my neck and without being forced to walk, which gave me admire the scenery better. The green of the place was such that I could hardly believe it, mainly because he was in the middle of a gray blur, blur it, in fact, I could not see.
When we had already distanced enough from the king's throne, the word addressed to the soldier.
- Excuse me... - The soldier did not turn up, but grunted in response - Eh... It may be a weird question, but... Where am I?
Although he tried to hide, the soldier hinted a little surprised at my question.
- You are the kingdom of Cerôna, the largest of all the kingdoms of the world Ono, located on the continent of Musu, the main continent of our planet. - After this information became apparent surprise of the soldier, I was the most important point of that planet and did not know.
- Hm... right, and... what are you? - This time the soldier turned, visibly surprised and amazed.
- Sorry, but as your Lordship comes to our planet so uninformed? - He asked, puzzled.
- I-I, uh... I came here by chance ... - I answered as quickly as I could.
- By chance? Hm... - I felt my throat dry as he reflected about the information - Okay, so - And my relief to see the smile on his face - We are from the Verinades - are cats, humans, felines - We stand out in these least developed for our brother's intelligence and dexterity, making them vastly superior and developed. As we are of the same family, our species is named after as Verinades Felix or Cougars, as we prefer to be called. It was clear? - Asked by keeping the smile before.
- Perfectly. - Actually, it took me a while to digest that information as well.
Soon our little journey came to an end, we were in the midst of gray blur. I do not know when they leave the vegetation behind, it was still digesting the information given to me, but when I looked back, I could not see anything but gray, as if all that vegetation was simply not there anymore.
We were in front of a huge building, but this was not gray, but white with hundreds of details in gold. The walls of the building were lined by several statues, gigantic beings very similar to the Pumas, but emanated superiority and power. They were gods. All wore strange objects, even you, man, I assure you.
He had never seen such elaborate construction in Drungsdom, so I stopped admiring it for a while. Later I discovered that nothing could compare to that building and nowhere in the worm.
Unfortunately I could not stay there long, because the soldier already had advanced to the door and was waiting for me. Against my will to stay there, admiring the building, sped up the pace I approached the soldier.
The building had a huge hall, open to anyone who came here. The decorations were visible everywhere, a more pompous than the last. There was a small desk in a corner, where some Pumas met hastily civilians who arrive there. In our line had two huge wooden doors, extremely, framed. We walked toward them. As we walked, the creaking of my jaws hitting the floor, composed of a sort of flat stone, full of colorful designs, called the attention of the bystanders. I saw some cringing when they see me, I assumed they were some of the friendships that I tried earlier.
Now, we come in the doors. The soldier stepped forward a little more and pushed them with two legs, opening them.
For what?
