Wyrm

I have not a long history, really it's quite short. I'm still young but learning fast...

I was raised in the world of Rubera by Dragon and Dragon Lord, I lived with them in the fiery dens of deep Fibula. It was a great time, mother would teach me about hunting... We started with Rats and advanced slowly to Deer... Father taught me about the great wars and struggles of our kind long ago. But now, I seem to be slowly forgetting everything said to me at the time. I shall start from the beginning of my maturity...

I woke up one morning, the day was like any other though I felt a little odd... Strange ripple like effects where traversing my scales, I looked at them in awe as they almost magically went from green to blue, then alternated between blue and translucent... At the peak of opacity I could see through my scales like looking at objects through water. I wasn't scared, though I did get somewhat concerned... I hasted toward the exit of my room, hoping to be greeted by my parents with some sort of explanation to my erratic color change. Instead I was greeted by an empty den... Where are they, I muttered under my breath... I searched all over the home and around the other dragon dens, but found nobody. Then it struck me, it was the seventh of September, the annual Cyclops hunt... I couldn't believe I forgot, was this strange watery effect messing with my mind as well as my body?

I waited all day, what seemed like an eternity of hunting Deer and other various sources of fresh meat... My grand fire spells seemed to be fizzling each time I used them though, until I was forced to scratch at the animals... Then finally I heard the familiar "FCHHH" of my father off in the distance... I raced over as fast as I could, excited to see him...

Then... It... happened...

It's nearly too painful to recollect, he simply didn't know me... He stared at me, like he would a victim of his wrath, though at the same time he looked shocked and scared for just a moment... He waved my body with spell after spell of intense fire, the scales upon my back began to melt and my body was scared and burned intensely...

I must have blacked out at that point, because the last thing I can remember after that is regaining consciousness in the Kazordoon temple... Weary and hurt, both emotionally and physically... What had just happened, I tried to figure it out... But to no avail, it was a complete mystery...

Something else happened though, instead of looking like a dragon, I looked like a Knight... Though my armor was more scale like than metal and I was still blue and somewhat translucent.. This all made little sense to me, but I tried to make the best of my new self... I met a great Knight called Odd Henceforth whom introduced me to who feels like my adoptive mother now, Sun Henceforth... Her and all the other Henceforth embraced me for who I am and never judged me for being a dragon... But I still longed for information as to why I was changed to a Knight, why I had lost my fire type powers and why my own father attacked me so ferociously... And I got my answers, well at least some...

The great wizard Agni Henceforth spoke to my soul one day, he told me my true mother was not Dragon... But in fact a mermaid... He explained that is why my powers ceased, but also taught me of my new water powers... Then it was clear to me, I was no longer just a dragon nor a Knight, I was a Water Dragon imbued within a Knight...I was shocked and in disbelief, but at the same time it made complete sense... It is hard to understand in a way though, because not one person has ever seen a mermaid, could Agni Henceforth have seen my mother? How does he know?

I am happy these days, my past still haunts me with too many questions... But I have a great life now, as a Water Dragon, and as a Knight.
