Drake glanced in front of him at the absolute beast that was in the cave. The end of the road within the cave led to this entity… a being that exuded an endless amount of obscurity and darkness, yet it wasn't chaotic nor evil, it was somehow… calm and composed, yet chilling to the bone. An entity whose entire presence was mild, yet incredibly intense. Perhaps a being that held total hostility to him would feel better than this strange feeling of doubt amidst the darkness. Was he good? Was he evil? What were his true intentions? And what… did he wanted now with Drake?
Fafnir himself had emerged within his dreams, and he seemed calm, yet there was a darkness within him that was naturally encompassing and engulfing Drake. But Drake himself felt strange, as he crossed through the cave, his entire body constantly shapeshifted, acquiring a form he had never used before… it was a strange and intimidating form, a monster with not nine heads, but a single one… no nine tails, but a single one. He only had a pair of wings, but he was… so incredibly frightening that he didn't recognized himself.
"What… is this…" He asked. "My body…!"
"This is your truest form, my child." Said Fafnir, whispering to him. "You must continue consuming and gaining power, and you'll eventually reach the pinnacle that no Dragon God could had ever achieved…"
"It feels wrong… I… I don't want this form!" Cried Drake."Wrong? This is what you're supposed to be! The embodiment of destruction! You will change Fate!" Roared Fafnir.
"I… I would honestly prefer if Fate would stay as it was. If that way these monsters of the Venerables can keep themselves dead… I hate how everyone is just throwing so many responsibilities towards me as if I were a fucking hero or something… I just want to live my life!" Roared Drake.
"Y-You damn brat! I brought you here to give you insight and enlightenment yet you defy me?!" Roared Fafnir. "I was the one that gave you the power of the Dragon Marks! Without them, you would had never gotten far with your family!"
"I don't give a fuck!" Roared Drake. "I won't do as you say!"
"Y-You've already spoken with the Venerable of Dreams, right? So why are you acting like this out of nowhere?!" Asked Fafnir.
"Because I got a second daughter! Do you think I want to go around fucking destroying the world?!" Roared Drake. "Shut the fuck up and let me go back to my body!"
"You're such an immature brat! I'm gonna beat some sense into you!" Roared Fafnir."Come at me, old man." Drake answered, as he seemed completely calm and composed despite his previous roars! The two monstrous dragons suddenly clashed as Fafnir pounced forward with his gigantic and enormous body!
"YOU'LL DO AS I SAY, SON OF NIFL!"
"NEVER!"
CLAAAAAASHHH!!!
Fafnir had emerged out of nowhere within Drake's peaceful dreams. He showcased him his "true form" and promptly told him he would bring absolute destruction to everything! Yet… what Drake wanted was merely a peaceful life with his family! Why did he had to be given such a fate? He felt frustrated, and lost his mind! Perhaps because of this body within the dreams which was making him madder and madder… as he felt a chaotic darkness dwelling within him, he exploded in fury and fought a dragon god!
Their claws clashed against one another as Fafnir, who was bigger and heavier attempted to crush Drake into the ground and show him he was the dominant dragon! However, would Drake easily fall to his knees before this bastard?! No! In an instant, he pushed forward and used his giant jaws to bite through his exposed stomach, tearing apart a large piece of his flesh!
CRUUUNCH!
"GRUUUAAAAARRRRRGH!"
Fafnir screamed in agony as Drake quickly kicked his chin, throwing him up into the air! The enormous kick shook the entire cave as the ceilings, walls, and floor shook and cracked open!
CLAAASH!
"U-Unnggh…! Y-You damn brat! Y-You dare hit a dragon god as ancient as I am!!!" Fafnir roared, as he quickly stood up once more, infusing darkness within his entire body and pushing forward like a cannonball!
BOOOOMMM!!!
"GRAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"ROOOOOAARRRRR!!!"
The two roared loud and clear, as Drake caught Fafnir's charge by infusing his divinities within his body. Despite this being a "dream" it somehow worked! He could use the power of his divinities anywhere he was, even within "dreams"! He quickly unleashed the power of Eternal Winter and Storming Winds… and Divine Flames together!
"Take this, you old man! FREEZING DIVINE FLAMES STORM!!!"
FLUOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!
"T-This power…!"
Fafnir's eyes opened wide in shock as a storm of freezing blue flames fused with slicing winds created a spiraling vortex and engulfed him completely within them! The burning flames also were freezing him, and the winds were slicing through his entire body! His eyes began to bleed with fury and agony, as he quickly decided to fight back more seriously after he was being constantly surprised by the "brat", Drake!
"GRAAAAAAHH!" Fafnir opened his monstrous jaws as various tentacles emerged out of his dragon-like jaws, which were in fact monstrously flower-shaped, and held a gigantic and sharp beak with sharp tooth resembling that of an aberrant octopus! Just what sort of dragon was Fafnir?! "DARKNESS ABOUND… GREED EMBODIMENT… SINFUL BLACK FLAMES!"
He groaned strange words as black flames suddenly emerged through his mouth, unleashing an inferno of burning fire towards Drake, and completely engulfing him within it! The explosive flames were so consuming, black, and agonizingly hot that Drake felt as if he was being melted away!
Drake began to think about his family and everything else… if he were to die here, even if it was a "Dream", who else would they have? Where would they even go? Since he was a child in Earth that Drake always disliked fighting… but now, he had a big reason to keep fighting, and act as the monster Fafnir wanted him to be!
"Fine… I'll show you how much of a monster I can be!"
