In a black land with dark clouds in the sky, there was nothing here, except for

...pillars of Darkness, Fossils, Strange Creatures made of Shadows, and mountains of ice.

It was an odd world, one that didn't seem to have any...sort of balance.

I was quite curious, but before I could see more, I saw...her

*Gulp...*

A dragon bounded down by chains as thick as mountains, and a Dragon So large I could not even fathom its size, nor see it completely.

Black scales that seemed to absorb all light, Menacing eyes of black that emitted strange light, And 3 pairs of wings.

'...holy shit that is one big dragon.'

Now I know why most dragons are afraid of her, the dragon in question can just squash them with her paw.

...so this is a Primordial Dragon.

[You...are not what I was Expecting.]

A deafening, but somehow calm voice resounded out throughout the realm, nearly rupturing my eardrums.

"...im sorry?"

I said, confused while I was running my head.

Not what you were expecting?

[You are Neither Aranus, Nor the Jade Snake....you are different, yet ... similar.]

[You are an entirely different soul, but you have not yet escaped them fully.]

[And you also Possess her within you, serving as the foundation for your creation.]

...so loud...

[What was Aranus thinking when he created you?]

I couldn't answer, a pressure so. deadly descended upon me that I couldn't even move as could only stare at the gigantic eye, which was now glowing White.

[So you were originally meant to be a substitute, a puppet for the Jade Snake to utilize to compensate for his weak soul]

[But then, How did you gain Sentience?

...is it because her soul is inside of you?

What is that light that gave birth to you, and paved the way for you to become an entirely separate Dragon?]

[But how weak you are, and you are even unable to control your powers, So pathetic, your existence.]

Each word, Each Sentence bore such pressure on me that I felt like I could die whenever she wished for me too.

So...terrifying.

[Even though I dislike him, The Jade Snake had a much better chance than you, you should have remained a puppet.]

[A puppet for him to control, We would have had a better chance then, with the man that made even the Abyss wary.]

Every word enraged me.

Puppet?

Why the fuck do you get to decide?

[A dragon unable to control his powers is just a mere Lizard.]

[You should have just remained a puppet.]

..

..

...

Her words enraged me, and that rage gave me strength.

Those white eyes gazed at me, somehow waiting for something, but my anger didnt care for that.

I tried to move, and I don't know how, but my body began to overflow with strength as my astral mana raged forth.

"Don't..."

I opened my mouth, My posture getting straighter with every word.

"Call...me..."

Why must I be the puppet?

And why do you all get to say that I should be one?

You all don't have any right to fuck with my life.

None.

"A PUPPET!"

The pressure on me disappeared, and my astral mana invaded this realm... but even then.

I felt like I was currently nothing.

My mana was attacked by the black mana of death and lost completely.

Unable to do anything, I stood still as those eyes observed me.

[At least you have the pride of a dragon.]

Her word's weight had lessened.

It was as if an objective of hers were completed.

Nevertheless, the pressure on me didn't disappear.

We were in a stalemate, her casually using such a tiny amount of her mana against me, using all of mine to resist her.

Until...the pressure disappeared when we both heard some words.

"Don't bully boss."

Huh?

As the pressure disappeared and I was able to move freely again, I turned my head to face the voice, far above.

And there I saw a white dot, Kazikato in his Draconian Form, standing on the snout of the gigantic beast and punching it.

Although his punches didnt do anything.

[...]

Ariel's eyes focused on Kazikato, and I think I heard a sigh.

[I was not bullying him, I was just testing him.]

"Then tell us about the cool tattoo!"

[...sigh.]

Wow, he sure is brave.

To raise his voice in front of that, he is incredibly brave.

Good going Man!

[The Pheonix is representative of the Ancient Beast that once held a seat on the Council of Godbeasts, It belonged to the faction of Peace, but that faction has now lost nearly all of its power, Suleras had invaded its World during the war, and had killed it.

The bloodline you have is useful, it belonged to a versatile beast that hadn't reached its full potential, nurture it well.

It is a beast symbolizing freedom and life, and it most likely awakened when the Jade Snake tried to control you and fought against its control.

Be thankful for it, if not for it you would have been reduced to a puppet once again.]

[For the Jade snake, I can not tell you much but it is the representative of James, Be careful of it.

Do not use it, no one knows what that snake might be planning.

The only thing I can guarantee is that James' soul is far too weak now to directly take control of you, however, he can do a multitude of things to weaken your mind.

Be especially careful about the mind games he plays.

Every mark has its powers, and I will tell you myself when the Jade Snake is safe to use.]

[And finally, of the Dragon on your back, it is representative of You.]

[Me?]

[Yes, It is a mark that symbolizes our true power, we awaken it at various stages of our life, you awakened yours early.]

[It represents your attributes, your powers, your true potential, your dragon.]

[It is you, The Dragon you will Become.]
