I looked at Lucifer’s enormous form with a smile, I was happy that he felt so motivated out of nowhere. I never thought I could bring him this much happiness with just a few hugs and kisses. Perhaps I should had done it way earlier… And more importantly, he also evolved, his new abilities will surely come in handy, but it isn’t as if I kissed him for him to evolve or something, I really didn’t knew he would end up evolving to begin with.
“Lucifer, take me on a ride!” I said, as I flew towards Lucifer’s side and sat down over his neck.
“A ride…” he said. “Sure.”
FLASH!
Lucifer’s enormous wings spread open as he began to flap them rapidly, and in a few seconds, he immediately shot up into the skies, leaving a trace of dark energy behind.
We continued moving higher and higher, as he reached the clouds atop the sky in no time. And from then on, we crossed those cold clouds that constantly formed snow, reaching even above them.
FLAAASH!
The clouds were left behind in a mere instant, as we reached a completely clear blue sky atop all the clouds, where the bright sun greeted our sight, shining as bright as it could possibly do.
It felt as if the entire world had suddenly changed, it was all clear, and beautiful at that. It truly felt as if we moved to heaven itself.
“T-This is amazing, Lucifer…” I said.
“Maria… I was always tired back then…” he said. “Although I was an Undead, it always felt like I was dragging my body around… But now I am filled with so much energy! I am even able to come all the way here, and fly even higher if I wanted!”
“W-Wow… Well, don’t do that, I don’t know what would happen to us if we went to space, it might be more dangerous to you now that you’re a dragon.” I said. “But this… This is enough, dear. It is enough…”
Lucifer nodded, as he looked into the bright sun rising from the horizon with me.
“It feels so nice to be bathed by the warmth of the sun without feeling it as if it was burning my skin…” he sighed. “Although it didn’t really do any damage to me, as an Undead, the light of the sun always felt apprehensive and painful… But now… It is different.”
“I can tell… I missed seeing the sun as well, it has been cloudy all the week…” I sighed. “This is a nice place to have a date, isn’t it? Although I don’t think we can properly eat while being up here…”
“It is indeed a nice place to be… Hm?” said Lucifer. “Look at that, in the distance.”
“Eh?”
We both looked into the distance towards the west, as we found… a giant floating island.
What?
Where did that even came from?
It was indeed a giant floating island! It had a gigantic size, and it was as big chunk of dirt floating in the sky… Amazing, I never thought I would see something like this.
It seemed to have a big forest inside, and more stuff there.
“Interesting…” said Lucifer. “Perhaps we should come here for another occasion.”
“Yeah, it doesn’t seem to be moving? It is quite static, and even if it moves, it probably does very slowly, so we can come back later…” I said. “But I feel a strong mana aura coming from it, I think there might even be a dungeon there… Wow, a dungeon in a freaking floating island, now that’s new.”
“Interesting… Well, let’s go back for now.” Said Lucifer. “This dungeon could be a nice place to acquire resources, perhaps. And I am starving, since I evolved that I finally feel hunger, it has been such a long time since I actually felt any hunger… It is very… it is a good feeling.”
“Okay, let’s go eat. I don’t know how much a dragon actually eats though…” I sighed. “When you were an Undead, you would eat just whatever, but now that you’re alive you gotta consume enough calories and nutrients and everything else! I hope you don’t end up eating all the reserves, the poor rats won’t be able to reproduce enough to feed you.”
“Come on, don’t joke like that…” said Lucifer. “Well, let’s go down.”
FLAAASH!
And in a mere instant through Lucifer’s incredible speed, we reached down into the ground, as he turned into his humanoid form midway through, and held me tightly with his arms, carrying me like a princess…
“Here.” He said, as he let me step over the floor, reaching the terrace of the castle where we were before some minutes ago.
“Thank you, good sir.” I said while giggling, only to find Partner and Emeraldine with sleepy faces looking at both of us a bit angrily.
“Where were you two?!” asked Partner while pouting. “I was worried! You two just disappeared, and there were some loud noises out of nowhere too!”
“I was also quite worried…” sighed Emeraldine. “I also thought something bad happened, but I am glad it was nothing bad… Huh? Lucifer, your aura… You’ve evolved.”
“Yes, I have… It happened just now when-”
I quickly spoke through telepathy to him.
“(Don’t say that I kissed you or Partner might go crazy angry with you! I don’t know if Emeraldine would, but better be safe than sorry…)”
“Ah… W-Well… I just evolved when I felt like I was filled with enough strength. A core formed in my chest, and for some time I’ve been accumulating energy in my chest, perhaps it took some time because of that…” said Lucifer.
“Oh… I guess that’s nice.” Said Emeraldine. “I was growing worried you were never evolving, Lucifer.”
“Hmmm… I guess that’s true…” said Partner. “Though something seems off here…”
“Must be your imagination!” I said. “Anyways! Let’s go eat something, we are starving!”
“Y-Yeah!” said Lucifer. “Let’s go.”
