I appear with my first six companions

I have weighed all my options. I heard their voices as my new body formed. Thanks to my life as a human, I have a vague understanding of this world, but I will have to learn a lot from it as well.

I fall. I feel no pain, but I do sense the impact shattering the rocks and blasting gravel and dirt everywhere. Several trees are torn and scorched, and the egg I formed in cracks. I stand up, scattering the fragments of my eggshell around as I reveal my beautiful body with a little fluttering of my large feathered wings. There's a full moon, and night has fallen.

Six women stand around me. They're so different from one another, all gorgeous in their way.

"Lovely companions, I see." I say with a deep, but sweet feminine voice, but they start wondering aloud:

"What's going on?"

"Is it possible?"

"Who... Are you?"

"My name is..." I need to think of a name. A new, non-human name. A cool name. "Albamyra. I am the new Dragonlady. And from now on, I will be your mistress."

"So it is you" Fuji steps closer, shyly raising a hand, wishing I am not a mirage. "My true owner, my true wielder."

"I am, yes." I reach her hand and I gently intertwine my fingers with her. Her skin is so soft, and I feel the energy of her make. And I feel something awaking in her and in me. "I chose you because I want to give you purpose, I want you to be free. I want you to accompany on my journey."

I pull her hand and, in a flash of purple light, Fuji transforms into a sword. I grab the handle, and I twist and pull it, and it grows. The blade morphs, it curves a little and widens. I transform her into a naginata, a polearm. It's gorgeously crafted, and it's perfectly balanced. I swing it around a bit, then I plant it on the ground. After another purple flash, Fuji reappears in her human form. She's kneeling and bowing, blushing intensely.

"Thank you... Mistress. Thank you. I will serve you until I shatter."

"And so will I" Taki says, bowing as well. "If you are the rightful owner of the Energyforged Dragonite Matsumoto sword, then I will follow you. But I need reassurance: how is... The Tiger Emperor."

If we don't count horns, Taki is taller than me. I take a step towards her and I caress her cheek. I feel the toughness of her body, the firmness of her skin. I love it. I smile at her, as I remember her wish.

"Yes. I chose you because I need a strong, skillful warrior. And you have learned how to fight honorably, without fear nor shame. Your New Emperor will wake up tomorrow with the strength, wisdom and decisiveness of his father. His reign will be better now."

"Thank you, Mistress."

"So you did it?" Delathwyn whispers, finally understanding. She's probably sensing the connection with the Sacred Grove fully. "Yes. I feel it. Asihlliel's peace. I feel it. Thank you. Your power is for good, I know."

"It is." I say. "I was inspired by Asihlliel, and I have decided to dedicated this new life to protect your kin, to make you emerge once again in all your glory. That's why I chose you."

"And why did you choose me?" Tiana asks with a serious expression. She's holding her massive sword as if she were to strike at any second.

I approach her carefully, mostly for their own safety rather than mine. I gently hold her blade with my left claws, immobilizing it. She tries to pull her weapon, but my strength is immensely superior to hers.

"Because your heart is strong and your will is unbreakable. A saint is what I need to rebuild the elven culture. And also, you're adorable."

"You won't only fight for elves. I see you summoned despicable creatures as well." She glares at Taki and Vemoura. The oni frowns and readies her chained kunais, and the demon just cackles. "I won't bow to you."

"Yet." I add, and smirk. I let her blade go, and she flinches as the weight of the weapon is released. I gesture at Taki, who lowers her weapon and relaxes.

"Oh, please! An immortal saint talking about creatures!" Vemoura takes a step forward and bows very theatrically. "My Mistress, I offered my friendship and my allegiance, and a wish for you, as far as my magic can take it. Do you desire to state your wish now?"

"Deals with demons?" "Tiana raises her blade again." "I won't tolerate such unholiness."

"You will have to." I say masterfully. "I chose Vemoura, the witch demon, to help me. We will fuel each other's magic to new horizons. Whether she's a demon, an angel, or a monster, is irrelevant."

"Thanks for the chance, Mistress." Vemoura bows again, but she stares at Tiana with a mocking smirk on her face.

"It's not fair!" Ilithyia screams, stomping with her feet. She points at me with her right index finger, while her left hand rests on her hip. "I am supposed to be your master! I wished for that!"

I laugh. I get closer to her. She's so short and petite, only taller than Tiana.

"Oh, child."

"I'm not a child! I'm 18 years old!" She stomps again. "I'm a Duchess! I'm the Duchess of House Mellangwir!"

"I apologize" I say in a mocking tone. As I'm standing right in front of her, I lean forward so our eyes meet. She's so pretty, and she smells of flowers. Just inches away from her face, I see her facade of spoiled girl cracking. "You see, you wished for several things. Let me remember and explain: you wished for eternal youth. Done. Your body will always be eighteen. You wish for perfect hair. Done." I caress one of her golden ringlets. "Your hair will always be immaculate and beautiful, like a princess'. You wished to be the richest woman. Done. Is there anything more valuable than being my Companion?"

"Wait, that's not what...!" She attempts to interrupt me, but I put a finger against her tender lips.

"You wished to gain magic powers. Done. You can throw colorful sparks from your hands. And I'm looking forward to further such abilities. You wished you were an amazing singer. Done. I will make you sing later, and it'll be..." I run my finger along her jaw. "Marvelous. You wished never to become bored again. Done. You will find amusement in anything I order you."

"A-a-and I wished for you to be my ****!" She retorts hesitantly.

"Oh, by then I got tired of it, so I ignored that. But hey, you got the important wishes done first, right? I chose you... Because I thought it'd be fun."

I giggle, and she sighs in disappointment. Suddenly, there is arcane movement around us. A light circle appears behind Delathwyn, and a dark, muddy pond appears behind Vemoura.
