Chapter 2: 560 years later, New Family

3rd Person POV

Back in the forest of Martisia, we currently see the same cave Draka had moved into, and inside said Dragonborn was writing something in a book. It has been about 560 years since he entered this world, he's still the alpha of the place, protecting the forest and its creatures alike. Over the course of time he's also practiced and refined all the powers he's acquired, both from utilizing his dinosaur shapeshifting, and the elemental magic he's collected by swallowing elemental crystals.

In the order he's acquired them, Draka now has the elemental powers of Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, Ice, Plant, and Metal. These powers though are the main elemental forces, the primordial forces that helped shape the natural world. In addition he's also acquired other newly developed types of elemental magic that had been derived from recent studies, those being Darkness, Light, Mind, Space, Gravity, Power, Poison, Beast, Force, Sound and Energy.

To give a run down, here are what each element are specifically.

Darkness: This is a basic elemental magic, with this the user is able to generate and manipulate shadows. Either shaping them into whatever solid construct they desire or using it for traveling in secret. Is mostly recommended for evasive tactics and should never be attempted to use during the night, as the over-saturation of darkness could cause darkness magic to go out of control.

Light: This is a basic elemental magic, with this the user is able to generate and manipulate light. Either shaping them into whatever solid constructs they want, using it for long range projectile attacks, illuminating areas or even traveling at the speed of light. Unlike its opposite Darkness, Light magic doesn't go berserk when oversaturated in a well lit area, and in fact, is the remedy for when Darkness magic gets out of hand.

Mind: This magic is very unique, it's main ability allows the user to use various psychic powers. A few examples being the power of telekinesis, the ability to use one's mind to manipulate the world around them with just thoughts, such as to move objects with your mind. Another is telepathy, the ability to read the minds of others, naturally Mind Magic cancels out Mind Magic so long as it's stronger than or equal to the level of skill.

Space: Space magic is one of the newer ones, it allows its user to seemingly manipulate space, an example being the power of teleportation. However, another application of this ability is the power to create pocket dimensions, an alternate dimension one can create to use as an emergency storage space. Developing this Magic was tricky because it actually needed the use of dimensional magic in order to saturate a cluster of Elemental ore in an alternate pocket dimension. This Magic is actually weaker since it burns through magic energy faster than space magic.

Gravity: gravity magic is another of the newest forms of elemental magic to be discovered, but it is a naturally formed magic. The crystals of this element are found in areas where gravity fluctuates a lot, judging by the name it allows the user to alter gravity. Self explanatory, however it is one of the hardest to master due to how most people in this world have little knowledge of the laws of physics to actually use this Magic.

Power: This magic is also naturally occurring in crystal form, present wherever there are bast amounts of magic confined to an area. Power Elemental magic allows its user to increase their general power, making them stronger, faster and smarter. It is often mistaken for body enhancement magic, it is the same in that regard, however the difference is this element also governs skills and abilities, users that have mastered this ability are able to absorb the skills and abilities from other beings. In addition, absorb and copy their physical strength and magic power, this is very useful however it is also useless without a proper conduit to channel it through.

Poison: Self explanatory, Poison Magic is derived by exposing a cluster of Elemental ore to a heavy amount of poisonous chemicals or materials. And in turn they grow in very inhospitable environments, such as toxic bogs or sewer systems. Users of this element can create deadly poisons and are immune to them, however this power can be reversed and be used to create antidotes to heal the afflicted of toxins and poisons.

Beast: This Elemental Magic was a surprise to discover, this Magic allows its user to take on the power of any animal. Found in the gravesites of various species, as in areas where animal fossils and remains are found, are commonly found in Chimera Springs which is what gives the spring its power to create Chimeras. However like the Power Element, this element is ultimately useless without a proper conduit to channel the magic through.

Force: This Elemental Magic is one of the trickiest to put into crystal form, Force magic allows the user to manipulate kinetic force. An example being they can project force and shoot shockwaves that can hit someone far away like a projectile. Another use is to use it as a method of mobility, by expelling the kinetic force the user can use it as a means of propulsion to move around and high speeds and even fly.

Sound: Another self explanatory elemental magic, Sound is the power to generate and manipulate sound. This can be very useful as the user can use it to hone in on private conversations to spy on suspicious individuals, and it can be used in combat. Being able to produce extremely powerful blasts of ultrasonic sound to incapacitate your opponent or target.

Energy: This Elemental Power is similar to the Element of Power, except it's more of a combination of Lightning, Light, Force and Power. The user can use this ability to generate vast amounts of energy and utilize this energy for multiple purposes. Whether to enhance their own power, create solid constructs or even for armaments. However again this Element is hard to harness in a crystal form, so the only way to use it is to have a natural affinity for it.

Overtime Draka had managed to acquire these new elemental magic, mostly by sheer luck, the only way he got Energy was by combining Light, Lightning, Force and Power. Thankfully his long life so far has given him the necessary experience to harness and refine these abilities.

At the moment he had yawned loudly and leaned back in his seat as he closed his book. "Man, that took a while" he yawned, then looked to the ceiling which now had working electric lights. "Hmm, hard to believe it's been 560 years already" he then looks into the mirror, even though a considerable amount of time has passed, he still looks the same.

Draka POV

I sighed, seeing my still young face in the mirror, it kinda reminded me of why I never did like the idea of immortality. Well at least I know that at some point I will die, in my life so far, I've lived through two famines, two ages of prosperity, an age of evolution, and two wars. Okay, actually that was three wars, and the third one I instigated by accident, but it wasn't my fault, how was I supposed to know I stepped on some noble's foot? On an off note, because of that I'm no longer allowed in some kingdom named after a spice on one of the other continents. Thankfully I also did some good during that time, I had prevented a raid on the forest and a nearby town, protected a traveling family of royals, and had defeated an evil sorcerer.

I put that thought away, deciding not to dwell on the past, my train of thought was stopped when I heard a howl, looking to the cave mouth I saw a Wolf enter, the Wolf looked similar to Raiu, only it was much larger and had streaks of yellow in their fur, and she was female. As several years had passed, the original Raiu had passed away, that was a sad day for the Wolf pack and for me, as we had grown close in the time they knew each other.

Well, at least I can take comfort in the fact that he died the way he wanted, happily in the presence of his pack members and his master. This Wolf was one of his many descendants, her name is also Raiu, she took on her grandfather's name so she could continue his legacy. "Oh hi Raiu, anything to report?" I asked getting out of my chair, it should also be noted that Raiu isn't a normal Wolf like the others, due to her direct relation to Raiu, girl Raiu was a next leap in evolution due to the lightning Magic her grandfather possessed. She is a species called the Thornic Fenrir, a species of dire Wolf that have the power of lightning without the need for an elemental crystal.

"Good morrow master, I am happy to report that there haven't been any hostile entering the forest" she said, I smiled before petting her head "thanks". She whined in satisfaction, then shook her head "however, we had detected something odd" Raiu added, that had me concerned. "Hmm? Define odd?" I asked her, "as me and my squadron were patrolling the east side of the forest, we picked up an unfamiliar scent." She then nodded as two more wolves walked into the cave, they had given me a piece of cloth. I had turned my olfactory system into that of a Tyrannosaur Rex's and smelled it. I recognized the scent, it was human, "human. Raiu, come with me, it's human" I said before fully transforming into a Tyrannosaurus.

We ran into the forest as I used my sense of smell to track where the human was, whoever it was, they were close by, and as I got closer I began to get a better idea of the person. They were female, and were pretty young, 13 years old, though compared to me everyone's very young. She also smelled scared, apparently humans can emit a special pheromone which signifies if they're afraid or not in times of immense stress.

As I got closer I could distinctly tell she was very nearby, but I had no visual. "Huh, that's weird" I said sniffing around, i kept trying to get closer to the girl, wherever she was. Then heard a creaking sound above me, 'ah there she is' I then leaped up and snapped at a branch, "found you" I said as I had her by the shirt. "H-huh?! Hey let me go!" She whined trying to get out, "hey don't shake like that, you're several feet in the air and if you keep struggling I may accidentally drop you" I said trying to keep her from falling. "Just calm down and I'll let you down", once she finally settled down, or exhausted herself, I gently place her down onto the solid earth. Then had transformed back myself, taking note of her appearance, the girl indeed looked around 13 years of age, she stood around 61.4 cm tall, had long black hair that reached her middle back, she had long bangs covering her eyes and what caught my attention the most.

Was that she was covered in bruises and her clothes were tattered. 'Oh dear,' "hey, are you okay?" I asked her crouching down to her level, "I-I'm fine" she said, rubbing her shoulder, then as if her body was more honest that her, the poor thing's stomach growled. She blushed in response, "hey, why don't we eat first. You sound like you could use something to fill up on" I suggested, she turned away but nodded.

-later-

I had taken her back to my cave as she began eating large quantities of food, she's eating several courses in one sitting. And she's only on the appetizer, "I-uh do you like it?" I asked, she nodded happily "yes sir! This is so good!" She said before drinking nearly a gallon of fruit juice. If you're curious, in my 560 years here I have picked up quite a few skills, one of which happened to be various culinary oriented skills. Gotta learn that at least, I am at least happy those lessons are paying off since she likes it, the juice came from berries and citrus like fruit I harvested on the western side of the forest.

I also made jelly from several grapes and strawberries  from the same area, in addition, for the appetizer I had made a large salad, some French fries From some potatoes I farmed on the cliff above my cave, got the seeds and the vegetable oil to cook it with from some traders a long time ago, and and I regularly get more from the local town nearby my forest. In addition I also made some nice croutons and garlic bread. The bread itself however actually came from the local town, I would've made some myself but at the time I was strapped for supplies.

I sighed in relief, "glad you like it, want to have the main course now?" I asked, she nodded excitedly, I then brought out a large roasted bird, and by large its as big as a Dilophosaurus. "A-sorry if this is too much" I apologized before giving her a leg, then was shocked as she devoured it while, looking a bit like a starving wolf, no offense to Raiu and the pack. "My she has quite the appetite" Raiu said genuinely impressed, I nodded before giving her one of the bird's wings, which was as long as she was.

"So what's your name?" I asked the young girl, she ate a little more before swallowing "mmm. My name's Evelyne" she answered, "that's a nice name, so Evelyne, why were you in the forest of Martisia? This isn't exactly a safe place to play, unless you're looking to find some horned rabbits" I explained.

Evelyne's mood immediately changed, she seemed very scared, and timid, I didn't even need Tyrannosaurus eyes to see she was trembling. "I... I ran away..." she explained, "huh? You ran away from home?" I said, "I don't belong there..." she said confusing me more, "Evelyne, what exactly do you mean by that?" I asked, wanting to understand. "Y-you see... my parents died a long time ago... when they did I was sent to live with some extended family... but... they were all mean to me..." she said.

Using mind magic I casted a flashback spell to see what she was thinking, Evelyne had been thinking back to her life... it was awful, that family constantly demoralized her. The parents had made her live in the cellar, the children always called her a dirty animal, and that was tamed compared to the inhuman labor they forced her to do. The only comfort she had came from either the pets and the other animals around her. Guess she was some kind of Cinderella with how friendly she was to the animals.

However, it was because of the animals she was willing to endure it all, then one day after she was doing some work for them. Evelyne saw them shipping the pets off to god knows where and hired an exterminator to get rid of all the other animals she connected with. And when they saw her face, how torn up she looked, they smirked satisfied. Heart broken with what they did, she had abandoned that home and ran to some place for a safe haven, which is how she ended up here.

Apparently one of the exiled wolves from my pack had told her that this forest was a safe and sacred place, and even lead her here. Feeling horrible for what she went through, I gently patted her back "it's okay. I'll make sure those people never hurt you again" I assured, she cried a little "r-really?" She asked. I nodded, "no one deserves to be treated like that" she then cried more before hugging me.

I smiled as we continued to eat, with me thinking of a way to help her.

3rd Person POV

A few miles from the forest, a carriage pulled by two demonic looking horses can be seen going down a trail. "Hmm, have the hounds picked up her trace yet?" A man inside the carriage asked, "unsure. We haven't let them out to start tracking yet" another person inside replied, this one being a woman.

At that moment two large dogs had suddenly teleported in front of them. They appeared like a mix between wolf and blood hounds, the dogs had three eyes, and what appeared to be a second pair of jaws inside their own that move independently from the main mouth. The two had sniffed the air and ground before letting out two howls, more people inside smirked hearing it, "ha, the dirty animal thought she could hide from us" one said, this one sounded fairly young.

"Well, why don't we make sure our niece is "nice" and "safe" with us" the woman said. As she did two birds had launched out of the carriage and flew around.

-the next day-

Draka was now flying in his pteranodon form carrying Evelyne, the two of them were now heading to the town he frequents often. "So you're sure someone would be willing to take me in?" Evelyne asked him, "I'm sure, the people of this town are really nice, I mean they are nice to demihumans and a Dragonborn" he answered. As they continued their course they failed to notice two large birds following them, then fly away.

They finally arrived and landed in a small town called Birus, it was a small quaint town with Victorian age style to it, but it also had a mix of various other cultures as well. As to the history, this town was first established ten years after Draka's arrival, originally used as a checkpoint for travelers making their way through the continent. Then as time passed more people of different species and races had come, wishing to find a safe haven for them. With most of the town's population being small and as most of them wanted to live here to help others, they couldn't say no. Overtime this place became its own town, acting as a cultural hotpot where almost everyone is welcomed regardless of what they are.

"Well here we are" Draka said as let's Evelyne off before transforming back, "come on" he said holding her hand as they walked in. The young girl was amazed by all the sights of the place, it was very colorful, not only that but the people seemed so happy and friendly, she saw a human talking with an elf girl and lizard man, as the human told a joke he gave the punchline which made all of them start laughing. "Wow, this place is amazing" she said, "I know" the Dragonborn replied before they arrived at a shop, "first off, let's get you some new threads" he said gesturing to her clothes.

As they entered Evelyne was amazed, this was a clothing store and they had so many wonderful clothes. "Hello Mr. Sauron" two voices said, in front of them two were three women wearing similar uniforms. "Hi ladies, any chance you can give us a hand?" He asked them, "you see, my new friend Evelyne has been through some hard times and I wanted to help her out. First off by getting her a new outfit, can you help us with that!" He asked them. "Right away Draka!" The tallest of them said as Evelyne went with them so they could measure her. "Aww you're so cute, I think black would work well" one woman said as they kept saying how a gothic look would suit Evelyne better.

Funny fact, Draka actually helped out this store when it first opened a hundred years ago, the owner was in a creative slump and couldn't design any clothing that could be popular. Then Draka had helped him out by making designs of clothing from his original world which soon became pretty popular amongst the populace and even in far off countries. After they were done Evelyne was now wearing a black shirt with a dinosaur skull on it, two fake earrings, four brackets on her wrists, which held a dragon like design on them, dark colored denim jeans and black shoes. "Looks good Eve, how does it feel?" Draka asked, "it feels good. I like it" she replied.

They then arrive at a large building in the center of town "here we are" he said. As he opened the door he let out a call, "hey everyone!" Immediately all the people inside had greeted him with smiles, "hey Draka!" An attractive red haired woman greeted, "hey Sauron, how are yah?" A man with blonde hair asked, "yeah we haven't see hide or hair of you" a young boy added, "what's it been a month?" A girl asked winking at him, this place was a guild called Dragon's Will. Draka comes here often to get any information of any trouble that should be taken care of, and also to socialize.

"I think so, anyway im here to see Lydia" he said, just then a woman walked up to him "right here Draka," the person was a very mature individual, looked about 53 but was still rather attractive. She had dark blue hair that was slowly turning gray, and purple eyes, "hey there Lyd, mind if I ask a favor?" Draka asked.

"Of course, anything for an old flame of mine" she added making him blush, Lydia is the guild master, it's her job to keep things running. In addition a few years back when she first joined she met Draka and was quite taken with him, they ended up having a small relationship due to some of their mutual interests. But it wasn't anything serious, unless you would call an incident involving both of them accidentally getting drunk and waking up in the same bed the next morning, barely clothed but not naked, anything serious. "Huh? What do you mean old flame?" Evelyne asked making the older woman flinch, "why didn't you warn me there was a little girl here?!" She whispered, "I thought everyone could see her" Draka replied. "I've been getting cataracts recently so I couldn't see her" she explained.

They both then got back on topic, apparently Draka asked if the orphanage in town had any room for a new arrival, normally a person wouldn't dare put a young girl who's already had a lot of bad stuff in her life in an orphanage. However Draka knows the place, he's been there to volunteer to help the kids and staff in any way he could, and it's a very nice establishment. The children are always happy, and the staff are very patient and nice, "oh I'm sorry Draka, but unfortunately the orphanage is pretty strapped in their finances, so they aren't able to take in any new comers" Lydia said as a woman spoke up. "It's true" she had long purple hair with blue eyes and looked to be a decade younger than Lydia, "recently our finances have gone down and we can't figure out why. I know we don't spend more than necessary, but for some reason our money keeps disappearing" she added, this is Madeline. She's Lydia's younger sister who run's the orphanage, she usually comes by the guild to talk with her sister and hopefully with Draka, Lydia wasn't the only woman who was smitten with him.

Madeline, or Maddie as she likes to be called, also had a massive crush on our Dragonborn when she and Lydia first arrived in Birus. Obviously she was incredibly jealous when Lydia had dated him first, but had too much love for her sister to interfere with their relationship. She's also got an incredible love for children and wants to make sure they are happy and well taken care of, which is why she made her orphanage in the first place. To help orphaned kids find a new happy home.

She then noticed Evelyne, "oh hello" she greeted "what's your name sweetie?", "uh-umm.. my name's Evelyne" the young girl answered. "That's a beautiful name, tell me how do you know Draka?" Maddie asked. "Oh, I was lost in his forest, but he found me, then fed me and told me he will help me" she explained.

The two women looked to him for an explanation, he then told them about her family, how she lost her parents and how her extended family was always abusing her. This alone made the two women's blood boil, "those monsters!" The older sister said fuming, "I am definitely blacklisting them to the nearby towns." Maddie added before grabbing a slip of paper and wrote a message she was going to mail out later.

"Still, if there is anyone who'd be willing to take her in I'll let you know" both women said, "thanks, I owe you both one" Draka said before noticing Evelyne staring into a corner. "Huh? Evelyne are you okay?" He asked her, "rodents" she said, "huh?" "There are rodents in that wall, they're not normal" she said. Concerned He turned into a compsognathus and went over to the wall before finding a mouse hole, looking in he saw she was right. A legion of rodents inside running through the walls, and they certainly weren't the normal species of mice and rats that lived here, these looked almost demonic. Their backs were covered in a hard insect like carapace, their heads had small Devil horns and their tails had a scorpion like stinger. "What the heck are those things?!" Draka asked before turning into a velociraptor and tracked them to where they were, and saw a door "huh? Hey Lydia, isn't this where the guild stores it's finances?" He asked, she nodded in response and had opened the door, as she did we all screamed and jumped back. Inside were several of the rats and mice that were in the wall, not only that but they appeared to be trying to steal the gold, jewels and currency the guild had been saving up.

"What the?! The rodents are trying to steal our money!" One guild member said "stand back i got this!" Draka said before roaring ready to attack. "Wait don't!" Evelyne said stopping them, "huh?! Why?!" One boy asked, "they're not doing this at their own will, they're being controlled, most of all they're sick" the girl explained. "Huh? Controlled, sick?" Draka questioned as he returned back, then looked at the rats and noticed they were glowing, using his magic perception ability he saw the rodents had tamer seals on them.

"Evelyne's right, I see tamer seals on them" I said "but what do you mean they're sick?" Maddie asked, "they've been poisoned, it's turned them into these awful creatures" she answered, then brought her hands together. "To all of nature's beautiful creations, I yearn to heal the damage that has been done and right the wrongs of evil. Healing Biokinesis" she chanted, suddenly her body glowed gold as a gold and green magic circle appeared over her "woah?! It's the high tier life spell, Healing biokinesis!" A man with a bald head said "it's so rare to find!"

Suddenly the entire room glowed and let out a bright flash, once it died down everyone looked inside and saw the rodents had been reverted back to their normal state. Then had ran out of the guild and into the field outside of town, "woah, nice job Eve. But what did you do?" Draka asked her, "it's a part of my magic, you see. My family is famous for being proficient in various animal and beast based magic. My parents and I specifically are known for being able to use pure beast magic" Evelyne explained.

Pure beast magic is the most powerful form of the beast elemental power, with this the user is capable of using the powers of any and all animals. Being able to transform into powerful beasts or emulate their aura and take on their powers. "Wow that's some mighty impressive magic," "yeah, and to use a high tier life spell she must be pretty skilled" the others said. "They make a point, how did you learn Healing Biokinesis?" Draka asked, "my parents always told me that a member of our family should, first and foremost, always care for all of the world's creatures. So they've kept the secret of many spells that are used to heal and cure living beings of their ailments, when experimenting with Healing Biokinesis I discover it has the additional affect of corruption curing and demonic influence nullification" Evelyne said.

Draka then used appraisal to analyze the spell.

Appraisal: the Spell Healing Biokinesis is a high tier life spell that is capable of healing all manner of wounds and injuries. In addition, as stated by Evelyne, it also has the additional effect of curing the effects of what is known as magic pollution.

Draka was taken a back 'what the? Magic pollution?'

Sage: Magic pollution is the result of leaving magic potions to stagnate for a long period of time without any use. The rodents from earlier had been fed high dosages of a mixture of various polluted potions laced with Tamer seals. Not only mutating them into stronger, much more powerful forms, but also allowing whoever created it to control them.

Appraisal: after running a survey it seems that the individuals controlling the rodents were using them to rob people and cities in secret. Stealing their wealth without anyone knowing, additionally, the identity of the individuals have been uncovered.

He then asked his two friends for some paper and a pen. Using his drawing skills Draka made a sketch of the people responsible, "okay, I used my unique skill Appraisal to analyze the tamer seals, and found the identities of the people responsible for controlling the animals" he said giving the papers to some guild members. "Make some copies so people will know who to watch out for" he added, they nodded before seeing Evelyne tremble, "Eve? Anything wrong?" He asked, then noticed she was looking at one of the posters showing the face of a man with a sadistic grin "wait, are they you're..." Draka then heard a howl, and it certainly wasn't one of my wolves.

He rushed out to see the carriage from earlier with the horses having similar mutations to the rats with similar dogs walking next to them. Looking almost rabid. The Dragonborn growled as he saw several red eyes inside the dark tinted windows.

Draka POV

I got into a fighting stance as the carriage door opened up, and low and behold the people who came out, were the people I had drew, a man, a woman and three children. "N-no, not again..." I heard Evelyne stuttered from inside the guild, "who are you? State your business here" Lydia said walking out, "greetings, allow me to introduce myself. I am sir Erald Grimwald, me and my family have taken a small trip in order to find a little runaway in our family. By any chance has she come by here?" He asked, I growled "can you be more specific?" I asked discretely turning my tail into an Ankylosaurus's. "She's about 13 years of age." "Has messy black hair, a lot of dirt on her face and responds to stupid animal" one of the brats he had said, further invoking my ire.

"Sorry, I haven't seen anyone matching that description come by, so I suggest going back to where you came" I said, "you can't lie. Our hounds and our birds tracked her scent here" Erald said as some birds I saw earlier when we were flying here suddenly perched on his shoulders, and the hounds sat at his feet. "Knew those birds looked suspicious" I muttered before looking back at them, "if you don't hand her over now, I shall have my pets ravage the town to find her themselves" he snapped his fingers as several monsters appeared, all of which had the same mutations as the mice from earlier.

"If you think I'm gonna let you hurt anyone here, you've got another thing coming" I threatened before roaring loudly, "now now, there should be no need for violence. Simply give me my niece and I'll take my leave peacefully" Erald said, Lydia then spoke up with her voice raised "if you think we will hand over the poor girl to you so easily you are sorely mistaken! Not to mention we already know about your secret rodent robbery ring" she said shocking the family. "I've already contacted the authorities, they should be here momentarily" Maddie added as a small falcon perched on her shoulder, that was Bayon, he's her familiar.

The man and woman scowled "fine, if that's how it's going to be" they then snapped their fingers, in a moment all of the monsters' eyes glowed bright red as they went berserk and charged. I roared back before turning into a Giganotosaurus and began charging back as several guild members came out and followed my lead. I bit on one monster's head, which had appeared as a giant Tiger, before throwing it down and knocking it unconscious with my tail, then kicked another monster in the face before tail swiping another.

I then transformed into a Tapejara and flew into the air, then used by large crest and beak as a battering Ram to smack into several of the birds he brought. Enhanced with lightning Magic to incapacitate them, "let's see if this'll blow you away," I then inhaled deeply before letting out a strong blast of air from my beak, unleashing powerful gale force winds. While it left the guild members alone it sure wreaked havoc on the beasts. "We may need reinforcements" I said, then landed before assuming my humanoid form and began howling, in a moment Raiu and a fraction of her pack had appeared, all of them sparking with electricity. "Master, what are your orders?" she asked bowing, "take down as many of those tamed beasts as you can," I ordered, she nodded before her pack had attacked.

I then turned into a Triceratops before charging at another gorilla like monster and tackled it down before assuming the form of a Deinocheirus, then repeatedly attacked it with my large clawed arms.

3rd person POV

Erald grunted in frustration as none of the creatures he brought were doing anything, "looks like we have to use something a bit more powerful" his wife said before snapping her fingers, as she did so a large magic circle opened up. Allowing a large beast to come through, it was a massive multi headed hydra "now my pet, crush him!" She said pointing to the Dragonborn. "Huh? Woah?!" He then jumped away from the charging reptile, and hovered in the air as an Archeopteryx, the beast roared before shooting various elemental blasts of fire, ice, lightning and darkness at him. "It's pretty strong I'll admit" he said dodging the blasts, then flew over it "but I'm not that easy to beat" suddenly he transformed again, this time into a large sauropod Dinosaur called Argentinosaurus.

Then with his massive size he dropped right on top of it, and as he was bigger than the hydra once he crashed down the dinosaur's immense size and weight crushed the dragon. It shrieked in pain as all five of its heads coughed up blood from the resulting injuries. "Wait!" Draka stopped before seeing Evelyne run up to the hydra. "Evelyne get back inside, it isn't safe out here" Draka said "there she is!" One of the children said. They then summoned multiple beasts, a heron, a large cat and a deer.

He growled before whipping his tail at the creatures causing them to jump back and try to shoot him, only to realize he had superior elemental resistance. "Please don't hurt the summons, they're just like the rats! They're sick!" Evelyne said, I used appraisal on all the summoned beasts to see if it was correct.

Appraisal: appraisal complete, all beasts are afflicted with the same pollutant potion. Suggestion, if the individual Evelyne uses her Healing Biokinesis on all the afflicted beasts at once, or in close proximity of their masters, their control over them shall be destroyed. Freeing all of the magic beasts in their possession and preventing the town from being destroyed.

"Hey Evelyne, any chance you can use your spell on all the magic beasts at once?" Draka asked swatting another large bird like animal away with his tail. Then turned into a Dilophosaurus, hoisting her onto my back as we ran. "I don't know, I may be able to cure a lot of smaller animals at once, but I've never tried to cure multiple larger creatures at once" she answered. Then screamed as one beast tried to get at her, only for Draka to jump and kick it in the head towards the floor. "Is that so? Is there anyway we can give your magic a boost so it can work?" He asked before turning into a Kentrosaurus, a member of the Stegosaurus family with half of its spinal plates replaced with baseball bat like spikes. Then had slammed his tail into a giant Minotaur like monster's head before turning into a small pterosaur and flew up carrying her.

"Maybe, but what can we use to enhance my spell?" Evelyne asked, the Dragonborn thought for a sec before getting an idea "I may be able to help with that, just wait for my signal and do your thing" he said before landing in the middle of the battlefield. "Okay everyone, stand back" he said, then had turned into a giant sauroposeiden. "Get ready" he said before rearing up on his hind legs. The guild members realized what he was going to do before running to take cover, "okay cast the spell now!" He ordered, she restated her chant, creating the same glyph circle from earlier under him.

Draka then activated his Force and energy elemental magic, giving him an immense boost in power and strength. "Healing Biokinesis!/Seismic Burst!" The sauropod then slammed his front legs back down onto the glyph. Which had caused it to burst, sending out a powerful wave of healing magic throughout the area.

As the magic energy wave hit the corrupted beasts they cried out before blowing brightly, then had reverted back to their original selves. When the energy wave hit Evelyne's extended family their magic circles cracked before releasing several more magic beasts under their control. Now healed from their corruption, the creatures were confused at what had happened. Then when they saw their former masters they immediately turned tail and ran away, "what?! Come back here!" They yelled.

Draka then changed back with Evelyne holding onto his back, "sorry to break it to you but all of your beasts are free from your control. And they aren't going to let you do it again" he said scowling. The entire group look to him seething in rage, "how dare you! Do you know who we are? We are members of the Grimwald Family! The most powerful beast tamers in the world!" The Erald yelled.

"Yet you hold no respect for the creatures you tame" Draka snarled, then had charged them and swung his tail knocking them all outside the town's entrance. "Leave, and never come back," the Dragonborn said before walking up to Evelyne, "come on Evelyne" he said, she nodded and held his hand as they walked back into town. Erald growled angrily, "no stinking beast man" he grunted before reaching into his pocket, "is gonna tell me" he then pulls out what looks like a collar and a potion. "What. To. DO!"

He then ran at Draka with the collar and potion in hand, everyone yelled for him to dodge, before he could react Evelyne jumped in front of him. "Huh?! Eve no!" He yelled, the Grimwald had laughed meniacally thinking he won in taking back his niece. Only to receive a powerful punch to the cheek, sending him flying back to the carriage and visibly shaken, "w-what, what was..." looking to the two, he saw it wasn't Draka who punched him. But rather it was Evelyne, who now had a gold energy aura around her and bright yellow glowing eyes, "how dare you try to harm him" she snarled, then had pushed back her large bang to reveal it the eyes behind it to be like... mine?! Gold Dragon eyes!

"You tortured me, berated me, abused me, but now you controlled my friends, attack an innocent town, and now you want to harm and control the man who saved my life, I will not stand for it!" She roared. Then the aura around her reshaped itself into the form of a giant Ape like monster with her at the center "you shall Pay!!" And with a mighty yell she charged forward. The Grimwalds, in a panic, then brought out whatever magic beasts they had left and some magic weaponry, and started to attack her. The aura ape simply shrugged off the attacks before slamming both hands on the ground, creating a powerful earthquake and growing several brambles from the ground which ensnared them. Her aura then changed shape again, this time into a large rhino like creature which snorted and charged at them, the leftover monster the family summoned charged also. Only to get knocked back and knocked out by Draka, who was now in his Ankylosaurus form, "figured you could use some help, hurry!" He said before tackling a big bull.

She nodded before looking at her former family, "like I said, I will no longer stand for your abuse. Now leave, and never return, or else" she then charged at extreme speeds while lowering her horn, then had full on collided with the carriage which now held the family inside causing it to shoot backwards on its wheels. Making it roll at high speeds, while at the same time beginning to crumble from the impact, she nodded before her aura form disappeared.

Landing on the ground she panted heavily, "man... doing that... takes a lot... out of me" she stuttered, "Evelyne are you okay?" She looked back to see Draka approaching her while reverting back to his natural form. "Yea... yeah, thank you again sir Draka" she said, "hey just me Draka, Sir Draka makes me sound like an old man. I may be over 500 years old but I'm still in my prime" he boasted causing everyone present to laugh.

Several hours later

Everyone in town was currently eating together in the guildhall, they had been repairing the damage caused by the Grimwald family and their summoned beasts. And right now they've finally finished, "I'm glad that's over with" Draka said drinking some fruit juice, at the same time sitting with Madeline and Lydia, "you said it handsome" Maddie said. "Same, while there may be concern with them coming back, I think Evelyne's display of power made it clear that she isn't as weak as she looks" Lydia said as they watched the young girl display her magic to the younger children to entertain them. "I'm just glad she's finally free of that horrible family" Draka said, then looked down, "but, she still needs somewhere to go" he added.

Both sisters patted his back, they also really wanted to help Evelyne find a family, as she was a very good kid and deserved to be happy. Heck, she even healed and cured the other leftover summoned beasts the Grimwalds forgot and had healed everyone who was fighting. Suddenly Maddie shot up, "actually, I think I may have just found a solution" she said getting their attention.

"And what is it?" They asked, the three then talked as the night went on.

The next morning

Draka was now sitting with Eve in the guild, the two were waiting for both Lydia and Madeline to arrive as they had something important to give the young girl. "So do you know why master Lydia wanted to meet us?" Evelyne asked as she hadn't been told why, "I may know. But I'm not telling" Draka teased "hey! Not fair meanie!" The beast master complained, as that is what she called her magic. "Sorry we're late" The guild master said as she and Maddie had sat next to them, "got held up down the road, some numbskull thought they could smuggle illegal potions through the boarder here" Maddie groaned as she was annoyed at how long it took. "It's okay" The Dragonborn assured, "so what did you want to talk about?" Evelyne asked, "well, both of us and Draka have been thinking of some way to help you find a new home. As we were talking I got an idea" Maddie said, "but first, you'll need to look over these" she added giving the girl a sheet of paper.

"Uh... I can't read..." she said awkwardly, "right, anyway this here is an adoption form. Basically, it means someone wants to adopt you" Maddie explained, "wait, someone, wants to adopt me?" Evelyne asked surprises, "yes, and if you sign here, you'll officially be a part of their family" Lydia added, they then saw Evelyne look sad, "w-will I still be able to see Draka?" She asked, "of course Eve, besides you can't get rid of him that easily" Maddie teased "oh one time I smelled something off and mistakenly stalked you because you were using a new perfume and you still won't let me live that down" he grunted.

"I-okay then, I hope my new family is nice, uh, how do I sign it?" Evelyne asked, reminding them that she can't write just like she can't read. They then showed her how to write her name, and she signed the form. "Thank you again Ms. Maddie, Ms. Lydia, so where is my new family?" Eve asked them, "well the funny thing is, he's sitting right next to you, remember when you asked if you could still see Draka?" Maddie said.

The girls eyes widened before looking at Draka who smiled "they convinced me to adopt you, that way I can still take care of you and you won't miss me as much" he explained, she was stunned. Then her eyes started crying "Ahh! Evelyne are you okay?!" "Please don't cry sweetie please don't cry!" "We didn't mean to make you sad!" The adults exclaimed, "I-I'm not sad," Evelyne said, she wiped away her tears, and showed she was smiling, "I'm happy, I have a new dad now" she said. Then hugged the Dragonborn, "thank you for accepting me into your family" she said nuzzling him, he smiled also and hugged her back "you're welcome Evelyne, my little girl" he replied, then had put her on his shoulder "least my home will be a little less lonely now" he said.

"Hey maybe I can teach you how to use my dinosaur power" he suggested, "what's a dinosaur?"

Both older women rolled their eyes as his own lit up, "here it comes," they then sat by as Draka taught Evelyne all about dinosaurs, and other related animals in great detail. Passionate about these creatures through and through, fortunately for him and surprising to everyone else, Evelyne took a great interest in his knowledge and wanted to know everything about the massive creatures she bore witness to when they first met.
