Reborn as a dragon (revived)
Author's Note
I've finally got the ball rolling and I would like your thoughts on the changes toward the end of the chapter compared to the original
chapter 1 Prologue
"Grampa hurry up or we'll be late." My granddaughter said as she tried to pull me out of the car making me chuckle.
"Don't rush me we have more than enough time." I told her as my son and daughter in-law helped me out of the car, we walked to the convention where there was construction on top of the building, but it was said on the news it was completely safe. I loved spending time with my granddaughter, we even watched her favorite cartoons together like Skylanders Academy and My Little Pony.
"Hey, how much is that ring." I heard and looked to see a man buying a ring from a shady merchant but me and my family kept walking.The convention was massive there were so many things here, plus there were a lot of possible souvenirs for my Granddaughter Alice.
"Hey Pa remember when you used to take me to the theme park?" My son asked and I remembered.
"Yes, I do and you whined on every ride." I said and we all laughed.
"So what should we do first?" I asked them as they looked around.
"I don't know, but how about you look around for things for Alice. I'm sure she would love that." He said as he hugged his daughter.
"Sure, see you around." I said as I walked away in search of things that she would like.
I looked everywhere and I could not find anything until I found that shady merchant again he had a pleased look on his face as he sat in a chair looking at the ceiling.
"Profitable day?" I asked as I approached making him look at me, and get up from his chair.
"Yes a very profitable day see anything of interest I also have more stored away." He said with a smile.
I thought before saying. "Do you have anything from My Little Pony or Skylanders Academy?" I asked him.
"Don't have anything from My Little Pony, but I do have some of the other and before we continue I am having a buy two get one free sale in case you buy two things." He said before ducking under the counter rummaging through a few boxes, and pulling out what looked like the dark Spyro's horns and Cynders collar.
He placed them on the counter before saying." So take your pick."
I rubbed my chin before saying. "I'll take both as for the third item do you have anything from wizard 101 I remember playing that game a while ago but I quit since it was a fucking pay-to-play game," I said with an annoyed tone.
"Yeah I think I have one thing from it let me get it." He said as he reached under the counter again pulling out a card.
He placed it on the counter and said. "That will be 25 dollars." He said so I pulled out my wallet and gave him the money then grabbed them. I was going to keep the horns for myself and I would give Alice the collar, the card I just got because I liked it.
As I walked around looking for them I couldn't help but notice a creaking noise but I couldn't tell where it was coming from so I kept walking. After a few minutes, I found them, and Alice was waving at me so I waved back that is when I heard a loud noise and looked up.
A large piece of the construction was collapsing right over them. I called out to them telling them to move, but screaming drained out my voice as I ran towards them. Alice was confused by the screaming before she looked up right before her parents.
I shoved them out of the way and then I was crushed by the falling debris. When the smoke cleared I couldn't feel anything and I could barely see.
"Pa." I heard my son yelling as I saw three blurry figures rush to my side.
"Grandpa." Alice said as she hugged me, but I couldn't hug her back.
My vision began to grow dark as I found it hard to keep my eyes open and sounds began to become quiet as I felt everything fade away.
"Well, this was unexpected, I guess I will have to settle with one when I wanted to send two, but I can't really say I am disappointed." A voice said in my head then I began to get feeling back in my body.
I opened my eyes but it was still dark and it felt like I was inside something.
'I have to get out of here' I thought as I tried to lift my head up but I was met with resistance from whatever I was in. I started banging my head against it then it cracked and rays of light shone through the cracks.
I continued pushing till my head popped out of whatever held me, and then I looked around. Everything looked so massive in comparison to me, I then looked down to see I was standing in some kind of egg. "W-what happened to me?" I said noticing the change in my voice almost immediately as I reached a hand up to my throat, but it did not feel like a hand at all. As thoughts rushed to my mind it seemed my rapid movements made the egg crack more and shatter making me fall to the ground.
I tried to stand up but my legs felt weak forcing me to walk on all fours I shook my head as I looked at the ground, and noticed my hands were now clawed legs, and they were covered in black scales. “What's going on.” I said panicked as I turned my head to look at myself to see my whole body had changed, I was no longer human.
“Alright, alright come down, there has to be some kind of explanation.” I said but it didn't really work as I saw the wings and tail and went I felt my head and felt my horns. I took some deep breaths as I looked back a my surroundings to see I was in a forest.
“Alright, so I'm stuck in the fort of a baby dragon in the middle of a forest after being crushed to death, how can this get any worse,” I said and immediately regretted my words as I heard a low growl before spinning around on my four legs. From the bushes, three wolves whose bodies were comprised on branches, and bark leaped out into the open.
“Timberwolves? No no no, you can't be real, you just part of a kid's show.” I said as I started to backwards. The ones of the sides spread out cutting off my escape while the middle one approached me. I continued to slowly walk backward till I was up against a tree.The timberwolf was almost face to face with me and I felt something rising from my throat.
''I hope that is what I think it is.'' I thought as I took a deep breath and then breathed out a torrent of flames onto the timberwolf setting it on fire. The other two Timberwolves looked at the third terrified before they ran into the woods leaving the third to struggle on the ground before eventually going limp as it continued to burn.
I took a few deep breaths focusing my mind on what was happening right now. “This-this shouldn't be possible.” I said taking a deep breath before breathing out a small stream of flames. Amidst my confusion a flash of light momentarily blinded me, but when the light faded a piece of paper was left in its place.
Congrats on winning your first battle you are in the world of My Little Pony you have been brought here to help protect this world as for your new body it was necessary to save your life and now you have all the powers of Spyro and Cynder from both the Skylanders games and show plus a little surprise and you can create living puppets from wizard 101 but they can only use 0 pip spells, and 1 pip spells bye bye
I burned the paper in anger and yelled in frustration. “Fucking damn it.” I said looking around for anything that could me where I was. “Well it could have been worse, I could have ended up in Warhammer, that wouldn't have been fun.” I said to myself, but at least now I knew I was in the everfree forest but where in it exactly that was the question.
From where I was I couldn't see any noticeable landmarks, or anything I recognized. All that was left for me was to pick a random direction and start walking. I walked and walked, and walked till my legs felt there were made of jelly, and my muscles screamed at me to stop, but I knew I had to keep going. Finally, I spotted something I could recognize, an orchard. Just as I was about to finally leave the forest my legs finally gave out beneath me. My eyes felt heavy, and my body was sore, but still, I reached out with one of my front feet, my claws digging into the ground as I tried to drag myself into the orchard but it was useless as my eyes lid started to fall I heard a faint gasp.
"Honey over here." I heard a voice say and I could see two figures running towards me before passing out.
