Chapter Two: Goddess of Dragons
1716 Words
Almost a hundred and fifty years have passed since the creation of the earth and it’s animals. Zodian has made a great decision to create beings like him. Gods and Goddesses with their own special powers and abilities.
They would all be given special jobs to go along with their powers. So, one by one Zodian began to create his gods and goddesses. He watched Diama for a while and it was here he obtained his first idea for a Goddess.
One dark night, Zodian sat in the middle of his garden, he formed a solid ball of darkness and flame and begin to shape and meld it into a form like his but more feminine. He shaped her head slowly giving her features, oval shaped deep emerald eyes, a small pointed nose, ruby colored lips and pale flesh.
Her body he shaped next, her shoulders slender, her chest he formed delicately, giving her mounds of flesh and the ability to feed her offspring. He continued shaping her
slender stomach and curvy hips, he finished with long delicate arms and legs, with soft hands and slender fingertips.
He stood back as he made her form larger, yet still not as large as he was. She ended up standing about 5'5 and weighing about 130 pounds. He went to her and kissed her lips gently blowing air in giving her life. He watched as she gasped that first breath of life and stood there shaking gently.
She opened her eyes and looked around, and she looked at him, her maker. There was a connection there that Zodian had never felt before and he knew, this was what he had been wanting to do. He smiled at her and gently touched her shoulder letting long red silk material form around her delicate shape.
The red gown hugged her on all the right curves and flowed at the bottom, he let her sit on his chaise and he gently lifted her foot. He made soft velvety slippers with beautiful ribbons form on her feet. She watched him carefully, as he looked up at her and smiled. He sat up and gently touched his hand to her forehead.
She let out another gasp as knowledge flooded her mind, she learned how to speak, read, write and she learned what her powers were. She was given a short version of how the animals had behaved and she learned to speak two languages.
The language that Zodian spoke, and the language of the creatures she would care for, the language of Dragons. As his first being he would have her care for his most beloved
animals, his dragons. He smiled at her as she looked at him and finally spoke.
“Hello, are you my maker?” She asked softly, unsure of her own voice. When Zodian heard her voice, he knew he had done well. Her voice was soft and filled with harmony and melody.
“Hello, yes I am your maker. You can call me Zodian, my dear.” He replied taking her hand.
“You can call me, actually I am not sure.” She replied her face growing hot with a blush.
Zodian smiled and said, “Then I shall give you a name. You shall be known as Dragica Dragonias. You are the first of many, but you have a special job.”
Dragica smiled upon hearing she now had a name. “What is my job?”
“You my dear Dragica, are the Goddess of Dragons. Look above you.” Zodian pointed up and watched her reaction as her eyes investigated the night and the two large dragons slowly descended. She let out a gasp and never took her eyes off them as they landed onto the platform.
She stood up mesmerized and walked to both the dragons. Shadowlore and Pureana both leaned their long necks down so she could reach up and touch their heads. She smiled as her hands gently slid along their snouts up to their heads towards their necks. The scales were rough and yet soft at the same time.
Dragica smiled at them both and said in her sweet voice, “Hello, my name is Dragica. What are your names?”
Shadowlore laid down and looked at her, his silver eyes shining brightly, “My name is Shadowlore my lady, and this is Pureana. She is my mate.” Pureana lay next to him and gave her a dragony smile, “It's lovely to meet you my lady.”
Dragica let out a little laugh, “Please call me Dragica. I was given that name and I want everyone to use it.”
The dragons both smile at her. Zodian approaches them and they nod their heads in respect. “My friends, she is the new Goddess of Dragons. I have given her the power to create more of you, and to care for you. You are now her responsibility. You both are to obey her as you obey me.”
Both dragons nod in unison. Zodian takes Dragica's hand, “Come my dear it is time I take you to where you live.” He takes her to Pureana, “Climb onto her back.”
Dragica looks at him with no fear in her eyes, as Pureana lowers herself so Dragica can climb onto her back. After making herself comfortable and holding onto Pureana, Dragica lets out a scream of delight as she takes flight. Her long black hair blowing in the wind, the bright stars in the sky.
Zodian climbed onto Shadowlore and took off as well, he led Dragica to Preatain where she would make her new home. They landed in a flat area and Zodian jumped off his dragon. Dragica followed and stood next to him looking out over her new home's land.
“It is beautiful her Zodian, I like it.” She says softly. He smiles and tells her, “Close your eyes and in your mind show me what kind of place you would like to live in.”
Astra breathed in deeply and then let it out closing her eyes. She imagined a two-story castle, the first floor with a few rooms, all for different things. She imagined a large room with a large window that could be opened or closed that would allow the dragons to come in and rest at will.
The second floor held her throne room, a room to dance, a place for making food, a place to dine, and her bedroom. The last thing she had him make was a washroom attached to her bedroom. It had a large tub and a sink and mirror, and of course a place to use the bathroom. Her bedroom he designed especially for her. He used all shades of red when designing her comforter for her large bed, he made a lace canopy for over her bed.
Then, as a gift, he made her a balcony that overlooked all her new land. This would be the land she would preside over and rule. It would be her responsibility to care for the creatures there and anything else that resided there.
Her entire home was made of a black marble imbedded with a ruby red hue. Zodian whispered softly to her, “Okay Dragica, you may open your eyes now.”
Dragica opened her eyes and there before her stood her new home just as she had imagined it. She let out a laugh and smiled, she turned and hugged Zodian.
“I love it! It's beautiful.” She said as he hugged her in return.
He took her hand after pulling away and led her into her new home, he took her into her new throne room, there in the back of the room on a small platform sat an elegant throne shaped like a dragon, the eyes made of ruby. The body made of black granite, a soft red cushion on the bottom for her to sit on.
He took her to it and gestured for her to sit down. As she sat, she looked around the room. It had a few columns made of granite all round and with dragons engraved to look like they were climbing up the columns. The floor was a grayish marble color.
Zodian created a chair and sat down in front of her. He looked at her with a serious face. “Dragica it is time that we went over what you are expected to do. Being a Goddess is a great responsibility, and although I have a good feeling you will not disappoint me, I still must explain your job.”
Dragica nodded, “Of course, I am happy to learn, Zodian. I want to make you happy.”
Zodian smiled for a moment then went back to being serious. “Your first responsibility is to care for the dragons, you have the knowledge to create more, but I am curious to see if Shadowlore and Pureana will have children. If you decide to create more dragons, that is up to you. Your second ability is to make sure that the land continues to grow and be fruitful. Your last job is most important, you are being given a great responsibility and I don't expect you to care for the land all on your own. I am going to give you a people. Others who are formed like us with intelligence, but no power. They will be yours to command.”
Dragica nodded and waited patiently for him to continue.
“These people will be shown how to harvest the fruits, vegetables, how to hunt, to cook, clean, and build. They will be able to build homes for themselves and care for each other, with you guiding them and guarding them. These are your responsibilities as a Goddess. Do you accept them?”
Dragica gave him the most serious look she could, “Yes Zodian, I accept. I will do my best to live up to your expectations and provide the care and comfort for my people you have provided me.”
They smiled at each other and Zodian knew she would be a wonderful Goddess and Ruler. He left her and returned home to begin the creation of the next Goddess.
