Dragons Heart - Chapter 6

“Solaria”. The name echoed in the void as Takeo uttered it. The statue of the Four-Legged dragon began to crack and the land began to rumble. “Whoa, ” Takeo said as he started to lose his footing. Then the dragon statue burst open, revealing a woman. The woman seemed to have white, scorched-like hair that dropped down to her lower back. She wore a red and gold tribal-ish kimono and had a gourd like bottle on her side. “Thank goodness I’m free from that prison after all these years” , she said, “appreciate it, kid”. Takeo stood back and examined the woman. “So, you’re my Firedrake side?” He finally said. “You’re half right, I’m in control of your Firedrake powers” , Solaria replied. As he looked at her, he smiles and thinks some “impure” thoughts, as any teenage boy would do. Solaria kicks Takeo onto the ground then yelled ” , I heard that, you pervert”. Takeo said shocked, ” y-you can hear my thoughts?!” “Of course, I am basically you” , she responded. There was silence as Solaria put her hair in a long ponytail with a few spiky bangs hanging in front of her face, on the right side. Takeo then said, “So, if you were in that dragon statue then the other statues…” “Uh-huh” , she interrupted, “they hold the manifestation of your other powers.” “So, what do I need to d-” Takeo was suddenly overwhelmed with a intense burning feeling in his chest. “Ugh!” He started to grit in teeth in pain of the increasing pain. “W-W-What’s happening to m-m-me” , Takeo said in anguish. Solaria said to him, “your body hasn’t adjusted to my power being released”. “You need to submit to yourself, ” she continued to say. “The hell does that mean, ” Takeo said shaking from the pain. “It means you need to let it wash over you, like a ocean wave, ” Infernia replied. Takeo was reluctant at first but decided to give in. The sensation of it felt suffocating but it eventually passed by. Solaria walked up to Takeo and said, “so, how was it?” Takeo replied while gasping for air, “I thought i was gonna die”. Solaria smiles and says, “good, it went smoothly then”. Takeo looks at Solaria with a annoyed look and Solaria just smiles with a condescending smirk. Takeo gets up and asks, ” so, what did that do, exactly?” “It made it so you and I can coexist in this body without problems, ” Solaria said. Takeo looked at Solaria and asked, ” what now?” Solaria said, ” go back to Melanie, she needs to talk to you”. As Takeo is leaving, he says, “why does this sound like a RPG game?” Solaria said angrily, “go, you idiot”. Takeo, laughing at how she sounded, left his inner world. Melanie was leaning on a balcony, waiting for Takeo to wake up. Melanie then said, “glad you woke up in time”. Takeo stood up and asked, “why?” Melanie points out towards the desert area that Takeo landed into after using the Dragon Pulse. Takeo looks out and sees a horde of demonic like creatures charging at the city. Takeo said, “shit, the hell is that?!”
