Title: A dream?

“Come on Nana!!! We’re almost there!” She blinks a few times. Clover? But wasn’t Clover- “It’s just over this way, hurry!!!” The child shouted excitedly as they started running. Another flash of light, now they’re standing in the middle of what looks like a party. A party in the middle of a valley? How odd…there’s even what looks like ruins of buildings littering the area, but things are changing too quickly for her to truly question anything. People weaving in and out of her sight. A sheep, beings from the sky, an allay, a man bathed in purple, shop owners she met in passing, people from her village, and more. People she knew, some she didn’t, and some who shouldn’t be this happy to see her. Her kids are here, all of them, dancing together and having fun. Even her adopted son, but he’s mad at her isn’t he? Why is he here, smiling at her? And his son, Varian, he should be cowering in fear at her, but he’s playing on her tail with Clover and Q. “None of this makes sense” keeps playing in her head, over and over, as the world spins. It spins faster and faster, voices clamoring, people getting closer and closer, until it all gets to be too much and-

“Nana”

Said in such a small voice, but it was enough to make everything come to an abrupt halt. It’s like the world was frozen, even time itself. No one moved, except for Clover. The child stepped closer to the dragon and looked her in her eyes.

“He’s coming back”

Before she could respond, her vision faded, and hues of purple, red, and black filled the world around her.

She jumped awake with a start, quickly taking in her surroundings. Taking deep breaths she slowly began to remember where she was. She was on her way back to cozy town from the shrine. Dj… he had woken up, they were going back together. Where is he? She looked to the place he had fallen asleep that night, and instead of his sleeping form, she found a note. Hastily she picked it up, her claws shaking as she read it. He had left. Fury, regret, anguish, all flooded her body. Something clicked inside of her, a fire she thought she had long since extinguished came roaring back to life. Her gaze turned to that of a beast as the desire every dragon has began to take hold of her conscience. The desire to destroy.

Thrashing around, she barely noticed the two figures who just appeared out of seemingly nowhere, she didn’t understand what they were saying, her mind was too fuzzy. One looked worried, at least she thinks it’s worry. The other looked happy, a bit too happy. She snarled as they strode towards her. The worried one flinched, but the happy one just smiled and took out what looked like… a leash? “I don’t think I can come back from this this time…” she thought as the beast took over. Oh well, everything must come to an end. Her life flashed before her eyes as the last of her humanity left her, the clicking of the leash and the feeling of a new dimension the last things she experienced as a person. No more regret, no more pain, no more suffering. She felt…safe. Two words rang in her empty mind. “End…Master”
