Her Neighbor the Maestro

Re-emergence

Elizabeth's Point of View

I open my eyes and I'm in another place looking like an tomb of some sort. I looked at my scaled hands and clawed nails Then I see the for dragons around me and they are breathing flames on me; but the fire isn't burning me but it felt relaxing and warm. "Where am I?" I asked the dragons in suprise and I felt like they were expecting the changes. "You have staged through your rebirth beautifully. You are with us in the spiritual plain." The fire dragon praised with happiness in his voice. "The changes were painful I don't even know how I survived. Did my powers do this to me, what am I?" I told the dragons while stretching my wings without my back hurting. "There's no mistaking it, as you learned to use your power. The dragon flame inside of you grown and evolved. When the time came your body evolved as well." The dragons explain to me as I feel a whole new fire burning inside me and spreading through every cell in my body. "My transformation." I figured Something clicked on in my mind I realized. "Exactly, observe." The earth dragon confirms as I see my surroundings change to the lakeside beach and I see Michael camped out and myself floating in the glowing chrysalis. My eyes were closed like I was sleeping. Then I saw my hair grow and horns growing out of my head. After that I saw myself moving around as float st see the change effecting my back and hips to grow a tail. "That's me, and Michael's there too." I asked them knowing that I lost track of time watching Michael while in turn he watched over me. "We felt your essence was changing deep of inside you when we last spoke. Your transformation began when your wings grew. Now within the chrysalis you are in a deep in slumber, as your body heals you continue to evolve and grow stronger. With our spiritual flames while your physical body slumbers, here we are are healing and enriching your spirit and mind." The air dragon tells me as I remembered when those wings grew in and that was yesterday. I see streams on energy from the dragons connected to me. Then I felt warm energy flowing through me it feels gentle and calming. I fully stretch my newly evolved wings welcoming the warm and comforting energy around me. "It's warm and calm." I thought completely relaxing myself and welcoming the warmth around me but I had questions. "you still have questions?" the air dragon or Gyatso noted hitting the nail on the head. "Sometimes reading minds is a son of a bitch. Yeah I have a question. What am I? Since my transformation I barely feel human anymore. I always felt that I was different but this nuts." I explained with doubt evident in my voice. "Do you recall when you absorbed a trace of energy from the dragons eye?" The earth dragon asked me and I look over to the dragon and I think for a second back to the dream. "No not really, I was asleep but I did see it in my dreams and that energy surging through me felt so real. It was so much I was barley able hold myself together. When I woke up that next morning I still felt that power burning inside me." I answered them and they looked at each other and I could've sworn I heard the fire dragons thoughts say I thought so. "But that doesn't answer my question, what am I dragon or human?" I asked starting to get exasperated. "You were born with human essence and dragon essence as well. The dragon body within you has merged with your human body. When the process is over, the human aspect of your body as a baby began absorbing the dragon essence. The moment you awaken the process will be completed by bonding with the dragon within, leading to a final merge with the two. You are human and dragon together." The water dragon and I could've sworn I knew the voice she was speaking with and I see the dragon shift to the person I was looking for. "Grandma....is that you?" I asked hopeful it was her. "Well its about time we found each other skinny mini." She joked with a smile. I just laughed as I floated over to her to hug her and folded my wings so she can hug me back. She looked in my eyes. "My goodness you have gotten much stronger and finally embraced your true power." Grandma told me with a smile while holding my scaled hands. "So the part about me being half dragon is that true?" I asked her desperate for real answers. "Yes it is true." Grandma told me straight up. "If you knew something about this then why the hell didn't say anything to me? I looked all over for you I wanted answers and you weren't around at all." I asked her wanting more answers. "Elizabeth listen to me I'm sorry I disappeared without telling you I wanted to protect you while your training was in progress. Plus Nafarian escaping is dangerous for all realms and since the little rat with him attacked you makes matter worse. Then your transformation came sooner than I thought. Because you always find creative ways to push yourself and strengthen not only your body but the flame that burns inside you." Grandma told me and she was right I felt stronger than I ever thought i'd be. "I was just using my instincts while I was learning from Michael. When I couldn't sleep I trained and trained hard pushing myself and getting stronger, but apparently it wasn't enough. Grandma I'm lost without you I don't know what to do." I told her as I start crying again. "Oh Lizzie you've never been without me. I was watching over you and have been watching you the whole time even during your transformation." Grandma told me and I sensed from her aura she was telling the truth. "I didn't know you were there, I felt my body being twisted and broken in way nobody would survive. But something no someone kept me going and it was Michael, god I love him so much. While I was changing; I had moments where would the change would slow so my body could recover in those moments. I felt the warmth of his spirit all around me. I heard his voice clearly in my head and my heart. I felt another presence with me too it was warm and caring." I tell grandma and she nods her head with a smile. "It was you healing my back?" I figured then felt a burst of warm energy flowing through me and I focused on the burst and I recognized it anywhere. "I feel a lot of power is surging through me. Its dragons eye....I feel it." I tell the four dragons with me. "Where is it?" the fire dragons asked and i sense where its coming from. "Close by and getting closer." I answered as I see the Dragons Eye in front of me enshrouded in blue flames out of instinct I reached for it and instead of moving closer to me the flames streamed out and surrounded me. The power was strong so I gasped in surprise and curled up in a ball almost collapsed under its strength.

Michael's point of view

When I woke up this morning I went over to Elizabeth's resting place. She looked serene and very still but she is alive I feel her energy. The Chrysalis is glowing place a hand on it and I felt her energy in warm waves. "Good morning Elizabeth I hope you're doing alright." I greeted her and she stretches her wings fully and she followed in stretching as well. Then she becomes still again. I know shes going to wake up but only when she's ready. "Please wake up soon." I called to her and she started moving around a little in her sleep. Then I saw her eyes open and Elizabeth moved in a way where she was reaching out to something and I see the Dragons Eye floated to her and it's energy streamed to her. I saw her eyes open and enshrouded her chrysalis burning around until it disappeared. I see her almost collapse under the strength of energy flowing through her. Until I see her eyes change back to her normal eyes and her fists clench she's fighting back. "I control the power it doesn't control me!" I heard her voice sure and confident. Elizabeth fought back and straightened up and closed her eyes and her wings folded and merged into her back and the dragon features disappeared in flames and inside her she looked human again. I see her eyes open and she floated to me and landed on the lake shore black swimming gown and soaking wet but her hair was longer but the Dragons Eye was around her neck. I ran to her and hold her close before she falls. "Welcome back my love I knew you would take control." I greeted her until I heard a noise from her stomach. "Hows that for a hello?" She jokingly asked I just laughed while picking her bridal style and take her to Hama's house. "Michael I want you tell you something. While I was in there I felt everything. My skin being twisted and my bones being dislocated and reset again. The pain was indescribable. I thought I was alone and going to die several times. Until I felt your presence. I heard your voice in my heart. Thank you for saving me. I love you so much Micheal." she confessed with happiness in waves. I was shocked and happy to hear that from Elizabeth. "I love you too." I responded with a smile on my face. I kissed her with passion.
