Chapter 18 - Jewels and Gems

After the conversation with the hidden villages head, they had transformed into various creatures mostly birds and wolves, as they escorted me to a old cave covered with tree vines.

As we stood at the entrance you could feel the tremors of vibrations as if a giant was sleeping nearby, the other shapeshifting villagers left back to their village in the trees, but the village head stayed there stating it would be dangerous for them if they had stayed.

As I entered the dark and damp almost wet cave, the vibrations of snoring made a sense of instability, in which I responded by floating my body.

After an hour of traveling this dark and wet cave, with the only sense of visibility being my enchanted eyes, I could see within my view a humanoid dragon.

It was a bipedal human shaped and sized dragon with Draconic features, as the cracks of its scales brightened flaming red light, as though it was a vessel containing live fire.

Without a need for further advancement it called out to me through the more sudden harmonic vibrations, as it opened its eyes revealing that this dragon had no pupils or irises just a bright red glow.

For when it started to speak the very notion and movement of its jaw unhinging led to flames spewing, as though endless flames only seeked to escape it spoke.

[Fair travels, but I do not remember inviting you a child to my home? Tell me what is it you seek from my endless flames]

It did not take long for me to notice the dragon was testing me, as dragons are powerful and rare creatures not some wish bound creation, so I responded with

[I wish for water in this long journey]

It had laughed as it asked if I was joking with it, I responded with a confident yes that I was playing a joke and if it had liked the joke. It gave a pleasant response but said that it was a creature that can never get what it or others wanted much less needed.

[I am a remanent of a resistance long lost, this is not my true form it is just scales sticked together. My true form is stuck in the middle of the planet, 'Why?' You might ask. Im sure you know as much as I, the threat of the beings calling themselves God Kings, you see before the God kings era there were god's they were praised into power and dominion. Then there was a demon that felt threatened, the gods and this demon fought so to protect the last of their essence the gods made Divine Totems. Weapons, Armor, Equipment, Items, even Words that held their authority these Divine totems only second to the Gods were guarded by the Divine beasts. I am the last of them as many Divine Totems were lost to the world or the God kings, I hold the most powerful ones. Before I continue, withdraw any notion of obtaining these items all I will trust you with is information, since I know of this fake body as the true self of your being hidden beyond the clouds of space. Back to the matter at hand, you need to rally your forces and face the fiends but to do that You need an ally, it is the Divine totems of Metal Jewels and lightning. Near the ogre kingdom youll find them, if you can get them to join you then the Divine totems that are not within my grasp or the Godkings will be yours]

In the moment that It finished speaking, it started to bleed from every orifice, every cracks between scales Lava as the lava fell to the floor then wrapped around as an egg, it started to compact till finally the aplit body I was speaking to turned into a hoodie. A sweater with scale details and design between the scales was the actual lava moving in between the scales as if it was alive, on the hoddie part was the design of a two horned ferocious dragon, at the back between the shoulder blades was an orb, and right underneath it following beside the protruding spine into a tail was two dragon heads at either side of the waist.

As I zip up this largely giant dragon designed hoodie it starts to compact inch by inch till everything but the top part became skin tight, showings Draconic muscle and claws that wasn't there before, and a tail that moved by thought as if it was a legitimate tail. When I was mesmerized by the design I was saddened by the thought that it had no wings to fly, then suddenly metal like bone structure of two pairs of wings popped from the orb in between the spinal cord, lava started to drip from the wing like metal structure creating dragon wing working dragon wings

I flew through the cave that took hours to walk in in a matter of a 100th of a second, and as I flew up I yelled at the top of my adrenaline filled lungs, as the hoodie part covered my head forming a dragon head that spew a pillar of flames straight forward through the clouds.

I had flew down to meet with the old shape shifter as he transformed from a bunny at the sight of my arrival, slowing my descent he waved at me. As we both flew with bat like wings we talked he said 'Long ago the armor I was wearing choose one from their village to protect them from the Immortal fiends that found their way to the forest. At the passing of their guardian the had a sacred duty to find the most perfect soul to fight for the righteous thing. They knew I was it because unlike other souls that were blue, red, or purple flames, mines was gold and platinum and had a form of a hero larger than my current stature.

What they saw was the soul of a Million heroes that shaped my soul from being their Creator and Queen, truly my spirit was the spirit of heroes all the villagers had told him. And seeing me wear the armor he believes they were right.

As we arrived in the village surrounded by the villagers on both knees sitting for us, the Village head proclaimed that they shall fight with me on any glorious battlefield for the righteous I stand for, but in return I must train his grand niece a small girl who had no control over her transformation yet and had the features of different animals.

As I had promised to turn her into the sharpest sword for me to use, I sent her through the lightning. And traveled through the land to the Kingdom of Ogres, to finally get on the same playing field as those god and fiends, it would take two and a half days to get there even at my extreme speed, but until then my partner will have to be ready because after this large and unknown battle is with the fiends
