Aquil Wakes Up

As I mentioned somewhere, I recently woke up from a dragon sleep. That’s probably not an official name, but that’s what I call it. You may already know that dragons can sleep for extremely long periods of time. Well, as measured by a mortal. To a dragon, it’s just a good rest. They do sleep when they are active as well, but this long sleep is much different.

During the dragon sleep, the dragon will transform into what looks like rock, but is really much more magical and impenetrable. This state would last until a god, or goddess wakes them, or some other force reaches their mind. I can’t really say, as my mother or father have been around to wake me each time. I can tell you that waking up from this sleep takes a long time. A few years on Earth. The part that’s the most disturbing is the lack of a body. Drak-Bar said you get used to it, and just grab whatever’s around to give yourself a body until you grow one for yourself, or just meld with another living being.

This time, I did the latter. I should note that gods, and goddesses, and that’s the last clarification I’ll use for that, gods and goddesses are essentially the same, they just look different. Anyway, gods don’t sleep in this manner. But, they do meditate. They don’t have to worry about their bodies over that time, since most of the time they will jump from creature bodies to rock bodies, think planetoids, at a whim. When you see a god in a form you recognize, they will be the most magnificent version of that form. When you see three goddesses at once, it gets really confusing. I’m of course speaking from a male perspective. I would assume women would feel the same seeing three gods.

But, if you were to take three goddesses, give them blond, black, and red hair, and give the blond near-black skin, the raven ultra pale skin, and the ginger something between, your mind will think the one you’re looking at is the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen. Then you’ll look at the next goddess and think the same, and so on. Needless to say, talking to multiple goddesses at once is not an easy task. Gods are also playful, sometimes, and know how mortals view them. So, expect them to entertain themselves at your expense. Don’t panic, most aren’t malevolent.

I woke up near Earth, somewhere close to where Aushlin keeps his ships. Yes, they were there last I knew. Since this wasn’t my first time, I wasn’t quite as panicked being much more than a floating consciousness. I decided to watch around the planet and make a better selection. I had thought about growing a body, but that makes it a little more difficult to integrate into a society.

This is the first time I tried a meld.

I guess you can say I succeeded, but it’s been quite a ride. The first trick was finding someone capable of melding with. This takes a pretty good mind for a human. And, of course, I wanted a bit of strength to match my original birth. I’m now in waiting mode. There’s a reason I woke up here and now, I just wasn’t told.
