This was it. After reciting the incantation, the runes appeared before him and were now swirling around in a circle in front of him. The magic circle he drew in chalk on the stone floor was glowing red. A light seemed to rise up from it, taking form in the center of the circle, illuminating the otherwise dark room. The man smiled, his spellbook dropping onto the floor, forgotten.
"Who is the one that summoned me?"
A scaly body formed from the light, taking the shape of a dragon anthro. The dragon was large and muscular, with bulging rippling muscles from head to clawed toe. It's main color was a bright red, with the secondary being a deep blue color. The dragon growled as it stretched its body, getting the knots in his muscles out as it limbered up. Its head that was topped with a pair of yellow horns had a strong masculine face, which had a passive expression at the moment. The dragon, which stood at about seven feet, looked around before his eyes focused on his summoner, who smiled at him.
"You, human man. Were you the one who summoned me?" the dragon asked.
"Yes, and you must fulfill a certain task for me. I believe you know what that is, do you not?"
"You wish for the power I hold? Very well then. Come closer, I will not harm you."
The human smiled as he stepped closer. The dragon brought a finger to his mouth and bit the scaly skin of it. His finger was bleeding now, a crimson liquid oozing out of it. The dragon brought his finger to the human, letting his blood drip onto the human's forehead. The man felt the warm liquid fall onto his head, as the crimson drops were absorbed through his skin.
The man felt warm. His blood felt like it was boiling, the dragon's blood coursing through him. Green scales were growing, appearing over his skin, replacing it. His hands and feet grew sharp claws, as the green scales completely enveloped them. Cream scales covered his torso and abdomen, as a long tail sprouted and grew out of the base of his spine. His hair fell out, replaced with a pair of yellow horns, sweeping backwards. His face pushed out into a reptilian snout as his teeth lengthened and sharpened into fangs. His ears pulled out, longer and thinner, until they were fin-like. Then his shoulder blades began to push out, forming an extra set of limbs before suddenly bursting open, revealing a scaled carapace. His wings flapped a couple times before folding themselves neatly on his back. The man-now-dragon panted as he felt his insides grow warm, his internal organs shifting and changing, adapting to his new form. Once it was over, the green dragon stood unsteadily on his feet as he looked up at the big buff red dragon before him.
"I feel...Amazing!" he said.
"Good. The contract is complete. For bestowing you the power of my species, now you must in turn uphold your end of the bargain."
"Sure. What's the price?"
"20 years." the muscular dragon answered.
"W-what?"
"20 years of servitude. That will be your cost."
"...I-I see. Fine then, I'm your servant now."
"Good. Now, time to see what kind of world you summoned me to."
The buff dragon looked around now, no longer focused on his dragon servant. There was a stone ceiling, wooden supports, a stone floor, and some old dusty boxes scattered around near the corners and walls.
"Is this a basement?" the dragon asked.
"Yes sir. We are in the basement of my home."
"I see. Well, this will be my new home now. Understand, slave?"
"Yes sir."
The red and blue dragon smiled as he spotted the wooden stairs leading up to aboveground. He made his way towards it, taking a step on it and causing the wooden structure to creak.
"I suppose this will do for now, until I find a better dwelling in this world." he muttered to himself.
As the big dragon headed up, the green servant dragon followed him upstairs. In his thoughts, he wondered if he should've asked about the price before gaining draconic powers.
