dragon rebirth

Chapter 10. trial and error

When I woke up it felt like I was on a mattress. I was in my dragon form with a blindfold on. I tried to fold out my wings but my torso was wrapped in something holding my wings. I took a sniff to figure out who was here and as I did I heard him talking to someone.

"It's been a while old friend. It's hard to believe the new world views are in our favor," I heard him say.

"They have changed, but then again so have we," I heard a robotic voice say.

"I think he's awake; he's sniffing the air," I heard a familiar but long-dead robotic voice say.

"So you're finally awake" I heard him say. I began to growl before he said. "I can ensure you that your friend is fine, she's asleep but alive." I tried to get some void crystal to spawn so I could cut the blindfold but I didn't fell the spirit in me and the Symbiote was gone too.

"I think you'll calm down after this," I heard him say. That's when the wrap I had on started to warm up. It eased some pains I had in my back. I laid down to enjoy the heat, letting my guard down. "There doesn't that feel better," I heard it say as I heard a pencil on paper.

It's not like I could do much else. He had me tied to the bed frame from my back leg. The only thing I could do was bide my time hoping to catch a lucky break. Suddenly I felt something drip on my claw.

"Do you trust me kiddo, because I trust you won't attack," he told me. "Here, have something to drink."

I was a bit thirsty, but I wasn't sure if he was telling me the truth or not. I slowly crept up to the front of the bed anyhow ready to attack if I had to. When I found the dish I smelled it first before taking a small sip, I was fine. Knowing that the water wasn't dangerous, other than probably being fluorinated, I started to drink up the rest of it. 

"See, no harm done, wish I knew how to get the fluoride out though. Just listen to this and relax for now while I check on your friend," I heard him say.

    It sounded like who or what I saw before but I knew precisely it was the one with the plague doctor mask from the smell. He smelled like he spilled a cherry Martini on himself when I first saw him and he still did now.

That's when I heard some music in my ears. Music straight out of the Aether Minecraft mod.

"That music kiddo, that was probably one of my favorites when I was in UN hands. They were so much nicer to me than they were at the foundation. Once they were convinced I had changed my ways they let me go on supervision. That was originally a ploy but when they let me into their lives I completely gave in to the idea. One winter night after I was home free on my own I headed from Finland to Belgium and there a child no older than the age of 4 had a nasty sinus infection. That with asthma could prove a dangerous mix and I knew just how to help. He was the first person I truly saved from a disease let alone a viral one," I heard him say.

 A warm wrap and calming music was the combination that made me susceptible to being mind-controlled. It felt calming to the point that I closed my eyes and took a nap. The wrap keeping my body warm, while the music calmed my mind. After a few minutes, I started to feel different. I fell more into a trance by the second. 

"He's falling under my spell. In another minute or so you can approach him without worry," I heard someone say. 

When I woke up I felt a glove on my neck as if it was petting me. 

"Glad to see you're finally awake sleepy head. Come on now, roll over," I heard him say. I rolled over onto my back before he rubbed the wrap over my belly. I started to lick his mask while he was doing it. "Okay, now you're just spoiling it kiddo," I heard him say to me.
