DranGon was on the floor, comfy but painful. Soon he started to move around, Jypt came over and saw DranGon slowly sitting up.
-You alright?
He didn't reply, head kept leaning toward one side and he held himself with his arm...
-You seem to have a bit of dizziness. Must have been really hungry for you, champ.
Jypt placed him back to the pillow, rubbed the belly and went to get some food. He came out and across Shawon sitting right outside the door.
-Hey, black dragon?
-Call me Shawon, how is DranGon?
-He needs a bit more rest, his arm seems to have cured and having a little dizziness. I'm going to get some food and you can visit him inside.
Shawon stood up and ran inside, seeing DranGon in exhausted state, looked at him and saw DranGon silently lying on the floor. The room was warm and bright by the sun shining through, atmosphere felt like home... until Jypt came back with a bowl of stew.
-Here is something to help him gulp down. He must be still recovering.
DranGon was deep in sleep, didn't snore but he was nowhere able to get up again. Shawon tapped his belly and shoulder but he did not get up. His head heated up hot, his arm set aside in red-blooded clothes wrapping.
-He can't get up during sleep. The stew might have to set aside for now.
-You can eat it for now, I will get another one whenever he wakes up or you want some.
Shawon gulped down the first bowl and said:
-A few more bowl please! This tastes like heaven!
-Sure my guy! You sure have a belly like him too and must be eating a lot!
-Yet his is surely bigger! -and he bumped his belly onto Dran's.
___
Everything took longer than it imagined, as DranGon was unconcious for another day before he finally woke up. His arm seemed to have been cured properly. Moving around while still in sleepiness as... he woke up in the middle of the night. Shawon was sleeping next to him but he wasn't in contact. DranGon stood up, slided open the door and went outside, sat down at tbe balcony and looked at the moon. It was a cloudy night, everything was deep dark and dim. Trees, water and even the insects all went to sleep. It was a complete silent for the mighty guardian to enjoy. He looked at his wrapped arm and rubbed over it. How could he faint in such strange timing? What were the chances the anchor hit him?
-But... why am I back here? I was under the water earlier?
DranGon took a long exhale and scratched his head, then stood up, walked to the pond nearby and looked at himself in dimness. The cyan teal glance, cold but full of determination. He slowly stepped to the gate and tried pushing it but it was locked so... he sneaked into the kitchen. The door wasn't locked and he had a feast inside there... After doing a great mess and eating every last bit in the kitchen, he grew bigger significantly and went back to where he was, lied down and fell back asleep...
___
-Morning!
Jypt greeted everyone and DranGon woke up.
-Oh hey mister DranGon!
He immidiately stood up and stepped over him, as Dran's size when sitting was as big as Jypt when standing. He hugged deeply and scratched his head.
-You awake! I'm glad you are fine!
Wogan jumped toward him and had him a hug. DranGon was surprised as everyone was so dedicated to wait for him to recover. He stood up and everyone stepped back. His head bumped against the ceiling, slowly making his way outside as he crawled through the door. Bumped into Corviknight without noticing, he turned back and gasped:
-DranGon!
He stepped outside being twice as big again. He was a literal giant standing under the fogged sun as the sun rose. Shawon ran outside and said:
-DranGon are you hungry?
DranGon shook his head and said: -no, I ate some last night.
His belly was huge and even his size and height changed. Pressing against his belly felt like a boulder but glad he was well-fed!
___
It was then again when everyone suited up and ready for another adventure, perhap to continue their path. DranGon was never sure they were going, they just... together went where all they went, didn't question much. It didn't feel as great as being on a big comfy bed and having a feast then standing at the gate, even being the bed himself as he wanted, too. It always had been a tiring journey but to at least hang out with more than Shawon made him cracked a smile, it wasn't look like a smile but happy eyes exposed them all.
Embarking on the journey, they went to the correct direction that time. Looking for somewhere to go, the map interested them to introduce to Ykorey, a very quiet place to settle and relax yet they also offer their specialties. The path was a little crumbly as they got to climb through a valley.
-Can... can we stop here? I have a little fizziness on my head.
DranGon was leaning against the crumbly surface of the valley, nearby was a cave. Everyone thought it was a decent place to stop by and decided to have a night there.
-Problem is... we might be cold tonight.
-Cold tonight? -Corvik denied and continued -then what are we for? to have this belly that we could barely see ourselves walking? like me Shawon and DranGon not only make up a bed but a perfect blanket!
-So umm... we will sleep together with Wogan, you guys on your own.
And there was a very bright shine of light came from the inside after a sharp turn. Not sure what was there and they together came inside, left all their packages behind. DranGon tried coming up but he hit his head violently onto the roof of the cave, as his height was a lot higher. The entire cave shook as he fell down. Everyone backed off then the shine was gone.
-DranGon, you doing fine?
He couldn't respond but he could nod his head lightly. Then there was a lady voice from inside:
-Hello? Anyone there?
-Hello the people inside, we are just stopping for a little rest.
A small, old lady kobold went out leaning against the wall seeing everyone with a big creature stuck at the cave.
-If everyone insist, you all can come in and sleep here tonight.
DranGon was still dimly awake but mostly unconcious to his behaviour. It wasn't a major damage but must had been hurt.
-You got any warm water? We need to treat this guardian.
___
Everything settled fine, DranGon ended up in the same place but fell asleep. He sure felt better but couldn't come inside due to his height. The inside was a very cozy hobit-looking place, little worn down and creaky to step around. The lady told that her son would come back tonight for some more fuel to keep warm as the sun setting down. The lady came out to put DranGon a blanket then said:
-He looks exactly like what my son told me. Wasn't he... a wrestling champion?
-Ahh yes! Our hefty champion was always with us and he's a sweet guy!
-Awww that good, he seems to be asleep a little early. Will he miss the dinner?
-He might. Big and strong guardian always needs a long sleep to recover after the long walk today.
Right as speaking, the loud creaky noise occured. Appeared to be a big kobold with topless body, quite chubby but he sure carried home a lot of wood.
-Oh hey Corvik! You came for a visit?
Corvik gasped to see his friend, Hurk.
-Oh my yo good to see you again!
Hurk ran toward Corvik and gave a big hug, even he had to climb on top of his belly to hug properly.
-You picked up SO MUCH of the weight here! How was your diet?
He chuckled a bit, blushing red while looking down his gigantic belly, tapped and rubbed around, said:
-I just went on eating everything I saw and I love eating this much!
Hurk was deeply attracted by that view of his, also squished out his little chubbiness:
-My grammar is such a great baker! She once baked a big batch and I had to finish them all before it gets cold!
Everyone giggled then he continued:
-Oh my name is Hurk, how are those with you?
-We have Shawon -tapped Shawon's belly -Dirotor, Wogan and there is my other guy at the back. He's asleep right now as I say.
A loud snore echoed through the entire thing.
-DranGon he is, I recognize this snore of his!
Then there was a voice came back in.
-Good guess... -that was DranGon tried squeezing inside.
