"My, what a short temper he has."
"Indeed he is so much like you Atlas. No wonder he chose you first."
Chose? What the hell are they talking about?

I sigh "getting worked up over a dream."
"You're not dreaming Haru."
Says a new voice.
A fraction of the fog clears,

Revealing a massive body set on four thick legs,
Plated sapphire scales coating it's hide.
Dust gold scales colors its belly and adorn it's claws.

Right where razor sharp talons protrude,
The fleshy underside of sapphire wings also a dusty gold.
Huge thick horns protrude from either side of its skull, curving just before forming the tip.

"Dragon" my voice, a whisper,
"What is this?" I ask
The dragon stares at me with deep amber eyes.
"You are...Me?" I realize.
The dragon crouches before me.

"I am Atlas, your original body."
