This choice: Reaching the city outskirts, no problem • Go Back...Chapter #5In i go, solution please by: Shireon77   My flying goes uninterrupted, while the city become closer and closer to the horizon. Deciding that landing in the middle of the central square, while allowed, is a little too theatrical, so i instead opt for landing just outside the city limits and walking in from there, maybe i pass through go the market area, who know what i could find.
A smile appear on my muzzle as i remember my last purchase, a beautiful wood carved statue representing a powerful magician intent on casting a powerful spell on his defeated enemy...hey i like it! It's extremely well made, and even if the magician is not a dragon, i can appreciate a piece of art when i see one.
Landing just before the main road bridge, i start chanting the necessary words, or maybe i should say tone, of power that will shrink me to a more reasonable mass for a human city and, the effect soon follow the words, reducing my size to what is a human would call a pony, keeping all my feature proportioned and of course the original shape. Changing into an hybrid form is far more difficult and usually not particularly well accepted, it look pretty strange i admit.
As soon as the spell is done, i check my body for imperfection, i know that the spell is safe but i always check anyway. Satisfied with the result i start walking towards the city guarded gate.
As expected the guards nods and let me in without a fuss, dragon are allowed to enter most of the city unrestricted, at condition of keeping their magic in check and to maintain a ^compatible size within the various city area^, which means that only some part of Kornos is big enough for a full sized adult dragon so mind your step.
While walking to the busy street i remember what happen to mean/stupid dragon too engrossed in their ^magnificence^ (yeah, sure) to notice the damage they are causing, and kicked out by specifically trained regiment, doest not conveys the idea fully. I chuckle at the memory, poor fool, since that day he is always shrunken with his tail between his legs when he come inside the city....
I walk towards the market square, when a shrunken black dragon named Irasthuiroe, i just call him Ira or ^the noisy one^, approach me: "Hey Thire heard the news?"
With a visible annoyed expression: "It's Thireious for you, and no i have not, i don't lose my time partying in local inn" I say pointing one clawed finger at him, despite walking on all four, we retain quite the flexibility
He reply moving his paw in a dismissive manner, black dragons, pffffffff: "Sure Thire, sure" He lower his paw: "So did you heard?" Is he stupid or what?
"No, Irafool, i haven't" I slowly massage my temples with my right paw, using a resigned tone: "What are the news"
His smile widen dangerously, to the point of breaking his muzzle: "Why the tournament, finally the arena rooster has enough volunteers for hosting a full fledged tournament!"
Right the arena, a place where only willingly gladiators are allowed. No matter if you are a dragon, human or any other sentient species really, as long as you are willing to risk a little, or a lot, you are welcome
I reply with a curios tone, i admit that the idea of a tournament does appeal me: "When?"
His grin remain: "Why, now!" His smile diminish considerably: "Well not exactly, in a few days but they are still keeping an open rooster so..." So you want to ask me if i want to participate
I reply: "No"
His smile vanish: "Why, the lower ranks are pretty easy and the risk are nearly none, no serious wounds thanks to the restrictive rules and the life ward in place, even if meas not much...ehm...^special finisher^ either"
Special finisher eh? Right, in hight level match, if a male defeat a female in combat, or the opposite, he/she may..indulge. I still remember that famous warrior that defeated a dragoness at the peak of her heat convinced to have the match in her favor, only to find herself immobilized on her back and fucked silly by him. Quite the spectacle, especially because she found him afterwards and revealed that she has took a compatibility potion before the match, and as such he has just sired her first clutch.
It was hilarious really, the full compatibility potion wasn't meant to make her compatible with him, but she was so sure of her victory that instead of waiting the match end for making herself compatible with her gryphon contract (a way for commissioning a service in exchange of money/favor), she took the potion right away and thus...
If i remember correctly the human fainted just outside the changing room while both human and dragon was congratulating them for forming a new couple.
I think that they are now both living not far from here, and despite their rough start, are quite the happy family, especially because the potion make sure that the children are always a full breed (Usually take the shape of the mother but traits and skill of the father).
Returning to the present i immediately remember my found problem, i need quite the sum for purchasing enough ingredients, and i don't want to abandon my experiment so maybe...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
