Capítulo 16: The Golden Dragon of...

Amadeus found himself floating in a vast expanse of space. He had his shivering body curled up in the darkness as he slowly got up, still shivering due to the poison wrecking his body. The first thing he saw was two ginormous entities slowly revolve around him. He recognised them as the sun and moon, one giving off a warm, familiar heat while the other giving a nice cold one. He could tell that both of them were the epitome of their elements with one being the hottest of hots and the other being the coldest of colds, but, for Amadeus, they felt familiar, like they were a piece of him.

They felt familiar and he could feel that he could use their strength. Pointing one had to one entity, he saw energy reach out to him and allowed themselves to be absorbed by him. He felt his blood boiling and the heat and cold destroy the poison within him. He felt his body being restructured into another being while he slowly and surely absorbed the power of the two. Off to the side, he could see the flames of the sun, destroy space itself while also give life to many plants while the moon freeze time itself, but also shine its light for the lost. The feeling of incomparable arrogance radiated from them.

He didn't know is it was a coincidence, but the power of the sun was absorbed into his left hand, where his left eye was golden, while the power of the moon absorbed into his right hand where his right eye was silver.

After the absorption finished, he could feel himself have his own baby sun and moon within him. This was unique for him as this meant that he had three sources of mana. Mana being the tool to allow an individual to use magic. All dragons had it, but Golden Dragons would usually have two and Amadeus had three. His mother was a fire and ice dragon, but she had only one dual elemental mana source. Golden Dragons like Baldrik had two, one for pure magic energy allowing them to use all elements, he had another one for his unique power, strength. His second mana core strengthened his body allowing him to unleash pure strength onto his enemies.

Like others Amadeus should have one that had both energies on it, but it seemed that because the two were already so powerful, they created their own individual mana source, increasing the amount of mana they can use.

His previous damaged soul due to being split in half was now fully recovered as a set of memories infiltrated his head. He didn't lash out in pain but rather accepted it. It was all techniques that was inherent within every dragon when they awaken with the basics of using their strength.

Finally, after everything calmed down, he felt himself trying to break out of mortal shell and he immediately knew that it was him trying to take form of a dragon. Pulling himself out of his inner world, he opened his eyes when a prehistoric roar involuntarily came out.

With a large magical explosion, Amadeus' body started to slowly rise up from the ground while a ball of golden/silver light started encompassing him. All the dragon's around had the urge to kneel when they felt Amadeus' pressure being released and looking at the ball of light. The non-dragons could only look down and didn't have the courage to look at it, dropping to their knees. The circular ball started to thump aligning with Amadeus' heartbeat.

It was as if all that existed in the world was that heartbeat, nothing else. The surrounding dragons then saw a crack appear on the light, and with a flash of light accompanied by a roar, a large figure shot out from the top.

Amadeus couldn't get enough of what he was feeling right now. Power was brimming to his very being as he shot into the sky. He felt free and unrestrained. He was flying. It was a human's life-long wish to fly themselves, not via planes or helicopter and the like but rather by themselves. So currently, Amadeus was living the dream and a huge smile plastered his face. He ignored all the people that came to get him and flew away himself, towards the lake that he used to reside next to.

Flying seemed instinctive for Amadeus, similar to walking, he had to get used to it at first but was able to properly control this new form of his.

The beasts that would usually surround the area had hidden themselves due to fearing Amadeus' aura. Amadeus looked at his reflection and saw his eastern draconic body in full glory. His body was covered in golden scales from head to tail, shining with a silvery yet menacing colour. His eyes were the same colour but were more snake like and no sclera could be seen. He had two budding horns but were extremely small and he could see two strips steam come out of his nose, whenever he breathed, one being cold and the other hot. He had two three-fingered claws resting beneath him that each had a peculiar shine, telling onlookers that it was not to be underestimated. There were small hints of whiskers on his face but overall, he looked like a rather young dragon. Grinning slightly, he showed the world his razor-sharp teeth before something caught his eye.

A shadow seemed to move within the lake and kept on getting bigger and bigger. At first Amadeus was confused but saw the water slowly rise at several locations, before extremely large tentacles sprouted the water one by one. Counting a total of eight tentacles, Amadeus concluded it was an Octopus, but he had no time to think.

Amadeus had just turned into a dragon and didn't have an ounce of experience in fighting with this form and he also didn't have time to digest all the memories and techniques that had been installed in his head. Plus, the tentacles were extremely fast and were close to binding him when he saw instinctively moved and cut the approaching tentacles. Surprisingly after the cut, the wound would either freeze up or burn the tentacle. Depending on which group of claws he attacked with, it would have a different after effect.

Amidst his cutting, an enraged roar left the waters as a massive head surfaced. Seeing the circular head, it was confirmed that he was facing an octopus. In the middle of that massive head, was a single bead, the size of a ma's palm resting there. Knowing that he had encountered a Demonic Beast Amadeus felt himself getting more excited as steam began to pour out of his mouth. A short while later, his whole body was covered by a massive cloud and only his eyes could be seen form it.

Amadeus then felt a gathering of mana just above his throat. It seemed to be clogged up and just needed one nudge for it to open. Opening doors to that source, Amadeus opened his mouth and let out a roar. What followed was a massive pillar of golden/silver energy pour out of his mouth.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!"

Panic filled the octopus as it tried to submerge himself, but a little bit of water was nothing against the might of the sun and moon. With the pillar making contact with the surface of the lake, the expected explosion didn't happen but rather silence followed as one half of the octopus was frozen while the other had been burned to ashes. Half the lake had frozen while the other half had wiped out of existence and was slowly being filled with water. From now on, this lake would be larger than it was before, but one side would remain frozen, for time to come.

The damage still hadn't stopped there though, the plant life surrounding the lake were either frozen and had frost covering them or had completely burned to ashes and had burn marks over the ground.

Amadeus looked at the destruction with happiness as he knew that he wouldn't see this kind of destruction for some time. The effects would be the same, just the scale would be smaller. A dragon's first roar was important, and he was satisfied with this. He knew that he had just awakened his dragon form and it only stretched to about a dozen metres. A teenage golden dragon would reach a hundred metres and had his horns fully grown, an adult golden dragon would be five hundred metres and have an extra claw and the next stage would be an ancient golden dragon otherwise known as the dragon king who would be over a thousand metres and have a total of five claws.

Different types of dragons had different types of evolution methods. The ancient golden dragon was known as the dragon king because they would rule over all the dragons, which was currently his grandfather. There would only be one golden dragon per generation, it was like a law set by the world. There could be other dragons at that stage, but they would always follow golden dragon.

The reason was just in front of him, all the people that had come to collect him had either awe or respect in their eyes. Information of how other looked at him would just appear within his mind and he wouldn't have to judge their intentions through the colour surrounding them.

This awe and respect weren't due to his strength as it was still weak, but it was due to his potential. The destruction caused by that one roar was unprecedented and showed why the Golden Dragons were the rulers of the dragon race, it was simply because they were the most powerful.

Amadeus then saw a few figures appear within his vision. They were respectively his grandparents; his parents and Arius being carried by his mum with an expression full of admiration for his brother. The other four had proud smiles on their faces while another old couple accompanied them.

The man had a cold and strict look on his face while the woman had a motherly smile. It was the opposite of his father's parents in which the man had a goofy smile and the woman had a cold one. Yet in those strict eyes and the motherly ones, there was a hint of pride flashing thorough them. Seeing the resemblance between his mother and them, he realised that they were his mother's parents.

"Oi! Brat, how long are you going to keep us standing for?!"

Caesar's voice bought him out of his thoughts, as he flew down. Before he could even meet his other grandparents let alone transform into his human, Caesar was all over him like a child,

"So, so. What is your power?"

Amadeus just smiled and transformed back into his human form. He was rather reluctant to though as he thought he would appear in his birthday suit. But surprisingly what followed was his scales turn into a set of clothes for him, maybe it was due to him hoping he was covered. While Amadeus was surprised, he was also secretly happy over him not appearing naked. The others didn't find it weird and attributed it to his talents while Arius still had his face full of admiration.

Caesar didn't wait for his grandson to speak as he immediately put his arm on Amadeus' shoulder and observed within. Even if Amadeus could hide his power, he doubted it could escape his grandfather's eyes mainly due to their power difference.

Suddenly Caesar's body trembles and he stumbled backwards while pointing at Amadeus with eyes full of shock,

"…the sun and moon?!"

Author's note

At least he is not the chaotic dragon of the void or something like that. It would have been cool, but too OP.

Anyway think of a name better than

"The Golden Dragon of the Sun and Moon."

otherwise I would just use that.

It should go like,

"The Golden Dragon of..."

Create your own, like someone else's suggestion or just like my comment. As for paragraph comments, been having an issue with my phone so I won't be able to see them so if you do write something then there's a chance I wouldn't see it. Just write it in the chapter comments.
