When Rue came back from her morning training with Prince Lukas, the room was in chaos, with a gigantic blue dragon taking up half the garden, a Swamp Dragon sparring with the bunny maids, and a tiny white ferret chasing the Chaos Badger around the skies.
"What is happening?" She asked Karl, who was reclining on a chair with a jug of chilled juice.
"Spell modification experiment. I think that we might have found a way for you to turn into a dragon before you get the [Avatar] skill, which will let you take on Void Dragon form." He explained.
"Really? That would be wonderful. I saw the Palace Guard doing flight training today in dragon form, and I was so jealous." She sighed.
Karl cast [Warbeast] on Rue, and a distinctly childish Void Dragon appeared, covered in smooth onyx armour plates. She was just under three metres long, tiny for a juvenile dragon. But Rue was also still very small for her age, thanks to her slow-growing lineage.
"And now we have a draconic Princess Rue."
Rue cheered, and accidentally activated her breath weapon, sending a cloud of black mist into the air that Cara deliberately flew through to disorient Nyx.
{Cara! Look, I’m a dragon!}
Cara laughed as she landed, then transformed back into a humanoid to answer.
"Looking good. You’re a genuine Void Dragon in this form. I thought that you would be a Shadow Dragon like your dad, but maybe because of your class you got a different one?" She asked.
Rue shrugged. {Does this spell work on you?}
Cara nodded, then shifted, becoming a larger version of herself. A Chaos Badger the size of a small bear.
{No cute armour?} Rue asked, confused.
Cara laughed. {Badgers come pre-equipped with armour.}
The Princess wasn’t sure how that worked. She didn’t see armour. But Cara wouldn’t lie to her.
Prince Lukas sighed. "So this is what has the Palace in an uproar. Who is the Swamp Dragon?"
The swamp dragon gave an awkward draconic bow, flaring her wings as she dipped her head.
{My name is Myrtle, Your Highness. The maid assigned to refreshments in the Envoy’s rooms for the day.}
Lukas sighed. "I should have known that not even the staff would be safe. But I see that you even got Barry involved. I’ve never seen him dressed up so elaborately."
Nyx landed on his shoulder, and Lukas waited for an answer.
Then the ferret licked up the rim of his ear, and Lukas hurled him across the room.
"Dammit Nyx."
