A pair of beautiful golden-orange eyes fluttered before opening. Isolde found herself curled up like someone that had been crying, with her head buried between her thighs.
She was hovering in a dark space, a space she was quite familiar with.
Her soul space.
This time around, Isolde discovered she was naked. Her eyes widened when she saw halfway down her thigh to her foot was covered with hard white scales. Her toes had fused to become three, with sharp claws.
The same thing happened to her forearms and around her right eye. She touched the scales around her eye before noticing the long translucent wings behind her.
They looked like Nyx’s wings but much bigger, with sharper edges.
"Shocked?" A woman’s voice rang, and Isolde turned. She first saw a hand covered with black scales pierce through the barrier around her soul space.
The barrier had once been radiant, but now it was dim. Due to this, not just the clawed hand but a woman with black horns, extremely long red hair with two braids resting on her bosom, entered her soul space.
She had a long tail and scales all over her body, except her face. Her massive wings spread out as she hovered above Isolde.
"You took more than you could afford. What you see now is your soul, exactly what you’ve become. You’re not a human anymore but a part of me." The woman declared.
"I refuse."
Isolde’s reply made the woman raise an eyebrow. She was the current dragon progenitor but there were complications of being in the realm of the soul. The power of tiers wasn’t exactly strict here.
Will was the decider.
"Do I have to inform you that you are dead! The only reason you’re still in this state is because of me. You would be dispersed into nothingness had I not decided to make you my daughter." The woman uttered with a condescending tone, her eyes gleaming with a piercing golden red light.
She purposely forced Isolde to mutate. She had been outside her soul space right from its infancy. Her presence had forcefully made Isolde aware of her soul space, making everyone on earth think she had awakened.
’This little girl.’ The woman grew furious. She was born here, in the barren land of dragons to become the dragon mother, but leaving was more complicated than usual. Out there, a beast god has already arisen, while dragons, thousands of them, have been killed. Even the ones that took the strongest to bring down were in the barren land.
The moment she got out, there would be an army of nightmarish dragons with her. The world would bow, and all this chosen vessel needed to do was survive until the mutation process was done.
While both of them glared at each other, Isolde also thought inwardly. She was on a tightrope here. If there was a tiny chance of survival, she would take it, but not as a pawn.
In that moment, the dragon progenitor moved. She wrapped her tail around Isolde’s neck and flung her away. Isolde flew with great speed but was stopped by the dim barrier.
Pain coursed through her soul body. The dragon progenitor was already above her with a cold expression, like that of a furious queen.
She breathed a torrent of blue flames from her mouth. The wings at Isolde’s back fluttered, launching her from that spot and around the dragon progenitor.
