Learning the Ropes

"Alright, well first off, what do you want me to call you? I can't just call you "Dragon" all the time."

I stared at my reflection on the same nearby puddle, pondering the question. I could always use my old name, but that isn't fitting for a dragon. You need something positively biblical. Greek or Latin. Something powerful, intimidating, perhaps even a bit tyrannical. I mean I may be planning on taking it slow, but I am a dragon after all. I should sound like one.

"My name? My name is..."

"Well? Come on, I still have to explain everythiiiiiing."

"Ozymandias"

"Do they really name people like that where you're from? Jeez, whatever, I'm just gonna call you Ozzy. Now!" Ariel raised his hand and pointed it directly at me. "You aren't a normal monster of the dark, not anymore at least, thanks to yours truly. We'll do the simplest one first, Angelic Protection. I intertwined a feather of my own, it hurt to pluck out by the way, with your core. This one's just a passive thing, so you don't have to worry about it. Short story shorter you're stronger because of it, you're welcome! Next up is God's Eye, for that all you have to do is REAAAAAALLY focus on someone, like try to pop out your own eye level of focus. I mean don't do that, that'd be gross. It will get easier with time, go ahead a try it out on me Ozzy!"

"I don't see why not, let's give it a go."

Focus. Focus. Alright, stop thinking about focusing and fucking focus... Yeah, this isn't working, maybe if I just strain my eyes really hard like switching to thermal vision? Oh shit, it actually worked!

I was going to continue on to read his stats when I suddenly got a rush of a very different memory from any of mine. Yeah, this guy is definitely gay. 110% with this. Dude needs to just accept it.

"Nice, managed to do it. Very interesting info."

"W-what do you mean interesting info!? Tell me what you saw! Tell me now! Agh- Whatever it was forget it, you better!" Ariel stomped his foot at the ground, keeping his tomato red shade on his cheeks. Somehow, it got even brighter red as my low chuckle reverberated around and through him.

"Ahem, NEXT ABILITY!!!!! So to get a human form you just have to cast the spell and choose the form you want to take! The form is mostly based on intuition and general desire, so don't expect to take hours to do it. The spell is actually very quick to cast as well! Go ahead and try it!"

I racked my brain, searching for the spells that I knew I had to have somewhere. After a few seconds, the knowledge came to me. Good to know the spell, and the other ones the sorcerer class gives me too. Now let's see how hard it is to cast. The answer was, quite easy, at least for this spell. As I cast it, my body was engulfed in red light as a warmth surrounded me. It must have only lasted for a second, but as the spell was cast I could feel or even sense the form that I was taking. I was tall, well-muscled, and handsome. I had medium-length obsidian hair and my same striking golden-yellow eyes. On my back was a tattoo of my true form, incredibly detailed and all black except for the piercing yellow eyes. Now onto the fun bit, down below I was large, almost inhumanly large, but otherwise human. Overall I gave off an air of something more than human, but not so overt as to be able to be outed for it. I knew all of this immediately as the spell was cast and the light dissipated, as I was left standing there with just as many clothes on as before, which is to say none.

"W-w-w-where are your CLOTHES!?!?" Ariel was blushing furiously, seemingly his default state around me, as he covered his eyes with his hands and when he thought I wasn't looking parting his fingers to get a peek. When next I spoke, my voice was still deep, but more silky smooth, and didn't carry with it the sheer physical power as my true form.

"I never had any to begin with. Anyways, when can we move on to the next ability? Or do you want to stay and look some more?

"N-N-NO! DEFINITELY NOT! I WASN'T LOOKING AT ALL!! ANYWAY, I'LL DO IT NEXT TIME A HUMAN IS COMING OKAY BYE!" With a flash of pure white light, Ariel was gone, probably to masturbate.

What?
