My Life As A Salamander 28 The Forge

at the training grounds. She had a wooden dummy with pegs sticking out of it in front of her. Her arms and legs moved in a quick fas.h.i.+on similar to martial arts. Seeing how she was working so hard I moved away and started exploring the mansion and grounds. I had never been in the grounds. He air was clean and the a good amount of the trees were fuit trees.

I walked about the courtyard and the back area. As I went, I smelled something in the air. It was the smell of burning wood. ( Smoke?) I followed the smell to a shack at the back of the mansion. A clanging sound rang through the air. I poked my head through the door and saw a heavily muscled bearded man with a hammer beating a piece of hot metal. ( A blacksmith?) I pushed the door a little more. It opened with a creak.

"Hmm?" The man turned and saw me.

"Geez!!!!" He jumped a good foot and a half off the ground in fright. I ignored him and continued looking around. I saw the bellows and the anvil. The walls were covered with tools. But the thing that caught my attention the most; was his forge. The thing was ma.s.sive. I could fit in it comfortably if I wanted to.

/ Host has located suitable fire element filled place. Reccomend entering and beginning evolution./

(.... I forgot about that.)

I walked toward his forge and stepped inside. The flames covered me as I entered. ( I missed this warmth) I thought. The forest didn't have many places that fire wouldn't cause a disaster so I mostly avoided lighting a fire except for cooking. Now I didn't have to worry. As I settled within the forge the man looked at me and laughed a bit.

" Just came to warm yourself didja? Hahaha! No problems here."

/ Neccessary elements present along with materials. Beggining Evolution./

The flames rose around me like a coc.o.o.n once more. The feeling of warmth made me almost sleepy. I started to feel an itch spread across my body. The feeling was lessened by the warm feeling, but it was still annoying.

/ System has found host to be highly comparable with Apocalyptic Sky Dragon route. Host has no other options. Does host agree?/

( What!?!?!?! Apocalyptic Sky Dragon. That's not what I want!!!)

/ Host has no other options. Failure will mean degradation and possible injury to host. Choosing best possible route for host. Beginning evolution./

( d.a.m.nit!!!!!!! Sam's gonna kill me!!!!)

The itch intensified as pain made me cool up. I felt bones rotating and bending unnaturally. My body was swelling a little as the fire was sucked into me. I then felt my body compact itself a little. My horns grew larger as my body lengthened and my strength grew. My scales took on a purple color while the gold flecks remained. My jaws grew a little wider and longer. Another set of wings grew from my back.

As this was going on the pain was excruciating. The system kept dinging. / Hosts pain tolerance level has increased. Pain tolerance level is still rising.... lvl 5...lvl 6...lvl 7 reached./

With each level the pain was dulled a little. It was like taking poorly made tylenol that only took the edge off. ( Better than nothing I guess) I thought through the pain. It took a while. The pain wasn't as bad, but my pain tolerance level didn't increase after level 7.

( d.a.m.n.... This isn't too bad.... but I Still Prefer not to be a d.a.m.n Super Rare thing! Why can't this thing let me be a down low, under cover, thing that noone sees coming!!!!!)

I huffed in the flames as my eyes came open and the coc.o.o.n withered back into the flames I originally crawled into.

( I wonder what I look like now....) I looked around a little. The blacksmith was gone and the room was darker. I pushed open the door and went out. It was night. The stars were s.h.i.+ning as the cool breeze came through the gra.s.s and across the yard. I s.h.i.+vered a little and waddled to the house. (Everything seems bigger again. Did I shrink?)

I managed to get into the house by hopping at a handle on the door till I got a little grip and it slowly opened. I fell off the handle. I went through the open door and quickly pushed it closed again. Time to see what I look like. I went into the hallway and found a mirror.

(.... Why am I so small?!?!?!?!?!) I was about the size of a small poodle. I was small with 4 wings and was coated in purple with gold flecks. The horns on my head made me look much more like a dragon and less like the salamander I started out as. My six legs are thinner but feel stronger. My tail is longer with a little mace like lump at the end. This is new. After looking at it closer it was covered in scales that lifted and dropped in a pulsing manner. ( Strange....) I lowered my tail and suddenly felt tired. ( Time for some sleep I guess.) I went ahead down the hallway toward that bright room Sam was in and found her asleep in her bed. I found my old sand bed by the hearth. ( She still has this thing after all these years.) I went and laid down on its familiar sands. ( Just like I remember.) I pa.s.sed out.
