Beyond of the Scale

#23 - Psychological pandemonium

〔Shindora pov〕

I wake up and find myself in a room with wooden furniture, chair, table, chest of drawers and shelves. This place gives me a damn prison feeling, soon I get up and start crying out for freedom.

[Shindora]: GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! RELEASE ME YOU DAMNED PEOPLE!!!

With no response I begin to prepare myself to open my own escape route and towards the wall I cry out once more.

[Shīndora]: IF YOU DON'T GET ME OUT OF HERE, I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING AND KILL EVERYONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!

Without reactions, I start to build up breath for a spit of fire when the door opens and a female figure appears.

[Lilia]: Shīndora, don't do that! Please!

I'm glad to see Lilia and wondering why she's here and so calm, dressed in seemingly casual farmer's clothing, she walks up to me and I'm furious.

[Shindora]: THEY ARRESTED YOU TOO?! DAMN!!!

I build up breath in my throat again, but Lilia once again intervened running towards me saying zucchini.

[Lilia]: Don't do that, Shīndora! We are not trapped!

I let my breath out, I turn towards her and see her face wet with tears, seeing her like that makes me sad and worried about why she was crying.

[Shindora]: Why are you crying, Lilia? Was it because I screamed? Forgive me!

[Lilia]: It's not is-

The door opens and someone's male figure appears along with my high will to protect Lilia by killing or not. I jump on top of him.

[Shīndora]: STAY AWAY FROM LILIA YOU DAMN HAMANO!!!

Together again breath to spit fire as he says something weird.

[???]: Stop it, Shindora! I don't want to get soaked!

A surprised and happy voice is not enough to make me flinch and I continue to burn it, with sparks starting to fly I hear Lilia's voice intervening.

[Lilia]: Please stop...

Once again she intervened and hampered me, furious glares at her, clearly telling her to boss someone else around, she wouldn't put up with a bossy human. I hear a sad and disappointing whisper.

[Lilia]: "You're not Shīndora anymore..."

Seeing her run for the door, I swallow my flames and call out her name, but she doesn't stop.

[Shindora]: LILIA!!!

[???]: How did that come about, Shīndora?

I look at the man, sniff him and a familiar scent enters my nostrils. The smell of dead dragons, it terrifies me and I turn away with tears in my eyes.

[Shindora]: I don't know! Please do not hurt me!

[???]: Are you okay? Don't recognize me? I'm Niro, leader of the subjugation team.

[Shindora]: {sniff} N-Niro...? That's right... You healed me and helped me stay calm in the process... but what guarantees that you won't kill me!?

The man apparently called "Niro" gets up, takes his sword out of its sheath and I run behind the bed where I take a fearful peek, I see him standing with the sword in his hands and he drops it on the floor, then throws it with his hands. feet back beyond the door. Such an action makes me confident and I approach him with my luxurious thought that he is just a rat.

[Shindora]: Human, Niro... you really don't want to hurt me? If you want to show your inferiority, kneel down and kiss my paw.

[Niro]: Do you feel well? From what Lilia said, it sounds like you're not normally like this.

[Shindora]: Make no mistake, mouse! I've always been like this!

[Niro]: No, you weren't like that. You were kind, understanding, generous, respectful, protective, and always put your friends before yourself. What happened?

[Shindora]: You're wrong! I never had empathy for despicable humans like you! How do you think I am now?!

[Niro]: Unstable!

[Shindora]: UNSTABLE?! NOT THIS ONE! INSTABILITY IS BAD!

In despair I hide once more behind the bed.

[Shīndora]: COULD THAT BE WHY LILIA RUN OUT?! THIS IS A MISTAKE!!! SHE CAN DO ANYTHING!!! SHE COULD KILL HERSELF AT ANY TIME!!!

[Niro]: Calm down, Shindora! She won't kill herself! We just have to go after her!

I slowly pull myself up onto the bed and speak with no motivation to get up.

[Shindora]: Go ahead, then I'll go. I don't feel like going right now...

[Niro]: But Shindora...

With this slowness, I get hate in my heart.

[Shindora]: I already told you I won't, wretched human! Now, get out of here! Otherwise I'll roast you until there's nothing left, not even ashes!

Without further consideration, Niro sneaks out of the room without a peep.

• 14 minutes later...

In the doorway, I see two frightening figures, each of the opposite sex from the other. It could be anyone, assassins, thieves, dragon slayers, dragon slayer thieves, dragon slayer thieves, so terrified I hide under the blanket.

[???]: Shīndora... I'm sorry for running like that...

[???]: I brought Lilia to see you again and a friend- Shīndora? Where are you?

When I hear these voices, I recognize them by letter. It was Niro and Lilia, knowing that, hesitant I get out from under the blanket and see them, but there's one more that I don't recognize and I cover myself again.

[Niro]: Shīndora, this is Natch. He's my team's mind mage.

[Natch]: I hear you're mentally unstable, I can help.

At that moment I didn't understand why a damn human would want to help me, a dragon that doesn't want your help and will soon rip your head off.

[Shīndora]: I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP, DAMN HUMAN!!! SPOOKY!!! SAD!!! Gorgeous...

Without another word he approaches, a loathsome human, a loathsome mind mage, a fried creature! I start to fill my lungs and-

[Lilia]: Shīndora... please... let him help. I know you don't want to do this, I know you're a good dragon. I believe in you, I trust you...

Those words touched me like lightning that passed through my entire body to my penis that began to drip with passion, immediately I calmed down and allowed him to help me, all for my beloved Lilia, the love of my life.

[Natch]: Stay still.

He places his fingers on my temples and talks to me.

[Natch]: I'll send you to your mind, there will be chaos and your job will be to fix everything there.

A glow emanates from his touch and my vision twists and turns until the scenery changes to a darkly colored and chaotic scene, full of tornadoes, earthquakes, avalanches, floods, landslides, lightning. Everything...was chaos.
