Narina moaned in her sleep..

She could feel the ground she was lying on was rocky, and wet.. and the air felt moist and cool. Not to mention there was a feeling of a light raining flecks of water...

Felt like that one weekend Narin and his family took to Niagra Falls.

Wait a second.. was she at a.. waterfall?

Narina's suspicions were confirmed when she opened her eyes. She was lying face down on the edge of a massive Cliffside cave that lurked on the side of a large pit that was surrounded by waterfalls, and other craggy caves..  from one side of the walled off waterfall pit to the other, must have been miles and miles.. as there were clouds  INSIDE of the pit..

Narina stepped over to the edge of the cliff, her toes gripping the damp black rock as she looked up, and down..

She could see a pool miles and miles below her.. and above, nothing but white mist, through which sunshine shined..

What was this place? It was far too big to be in the Trunk.. not to mention magnificent. And what in the world happened to her clothes?

She was wearing some sort of bikini, or.. sports bra? A top maybe? made of worn out cloth.. and a skirt made of the same clothe combined with woven grass.

She had plenty of faded wounds on her body, like bruises and scars, which seemed to be healing unusually fast for reasons she couldn't fathom to guess..

"The last thing I remember.. I was fighting Violet, and I lost big time.." Narina murmured.

"Snnnnfff. . rrrgghh.." A snorting sound was heard in the cave behind her. Narina turned her head, and nearly had a heart attack.

Stomping out of the cave, with it's long lizard-like snout, it's lengthy neck, it's massive scaly body, armored back, four muscular legs, and long tail.. and spikes running down it's head and back all the way to the end of the tai.. and it's webbed wings, and it's majestic horns..

Was a huge dragon.

The majestic beast's webbed ears twitched a bit as it's eyes burned like a pair of coals.

Long ago, dragons were believed to be mythical creatures of magic or legend.. no way a real dragon could possibly exist.

But then, a pair of bold biologists journeyed deep into the mountains, accompanied by several Beast Type heroes, who obtained dragonish traits, went in search of the genetic origin of the Dragonish Powers...

Dragons were not magic. They were powerful biological survivalists, built to survive and live in any environment. Their scales manipulated air currents for flight, while it also provided stronger armor than a nuclear bunker, and worked to manipulate body temperatures depending on how the environment was at the moment.  They had an incredibly diverse diet, other than the usual meat and prey they fed on, they also used their teeth to cut open gourds and eat the fruit inside, or just drink coconut milk.

Though it was possible, Dragon Taming was strictly forbidden, due to their status as endangered animals, the cause of which was a mystery due to how they were such good survivalists, even pollution didn't have the capability of wiping them out. For one thing, they didn't breath oxygen, but they breathed carbon, and could even internalize a limited breathing apparatus in their throat that allowed them to fly into space for hours at a time.

Some dragons were even known to grow diamonds and crystal on their backs thanks to the immense carbon in their bodies, combined with the incredible heat furnaces in their respiratory systems... but these were only the elder dragons, which were thousands of years old. The more crystal, or diamond that covered a dragon's scales, the older it was..

This dragon however, was pure scales and youth.. well, youthful for a dragon anyways. and it's scales.. they were a beautiful wondrous silver color.

The dragon lumbered out to the mouth of the cave, seeming to ignore the stunned Narina as it stuck it's head out into the misty air, bathing it's head in the waterfall water falling right next to the mouth of the cave.

Narina stepped back slowly, trying to not attract the monster's attention..

But the dragon turned it's head, and stared at Narina, apparently perfectly aware of her presence.

"U-uh.. L-look.." Narina stammered, aware of dragons being classified as very near sentient creatures. "I do NOT taste good. Trust me, one bite.. and ZAP! It's like licking a wall socket.."

"Relax." said a deep voice. "She likes you.. she wouldn't dream of eating you."

"That's a she!?" Narina stammered. "Wait.. HUH!?"

Narina turned around, to see the hooded and cloaked man that had taken her, sitting against the wall of the cave in front of a campfire, with a massive Great White Shark turning on a spit over the fire.

The man removed his hood, to reveal a bald man with a strong jaw, and a dragon tattoo going up his muscular neck.

"Narin... it's me.." said the man. "Do you remember?"

Narina narrowed her eyes..  "Wait.. I remember now.. you came on my fifth birthday.. you gave me a train set.. before Grandma Manaka told you to leave.."

The man chuckled. "I'm your grandfather..  though, you might know me better by the name.. Wild Dragon.."

Narina's jaw dropped. But there was no denying.. the younger poster of the bald 20 year old hero, who was known as the strongest of all Beast Type heroes resembled this older stronger looking guy to a t! Only without such a strong jaw.

"Y-you're.. NO WAY!! NO WAY!!! NNNNOOOOOOO!!!! WWWWAAAAAAY!!!" Narina screamed. "okay.. what is going on here!? I like only recently found out you were my Gramps when Nat told me.. but SERIOUSLY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? WHAT AM I DOING HERE!? Wh-.."

"Yeesh.. becoming a female sure made you squeamish.." Wild Dragon muttered, yawning and showing off his dragonish fangs..  So, would you prefer I called you Narin or Narina?"

"Either one.. " Narina stammered. 

"Aye, Narina is a beautiful name.. I'll stick with that.. though I wish you came up with a better last name than Yukata.." said Wild Dragon. "Well, to summarize, you're here because I brought you here... and if I hadn't, there's a very possible chance you would've died.. the power of Cirque Le Dead poisons the body's natural ability to heal.. as a result, normal medicine doesn't amount to anything.. however..."

Wild Dragon breathed deeply, and sighed. "The air in this place, heals a dragon's wounds. As long as you bare a bit of a dragon within you.. this place grants you it's unique properties.. "

"Unique properties?" Narina said.

"Take a look yourself.." Wild Dragon picked up a massive boulder, the size of a house and threw it at Narina.

"EEEEKKK!!" Narina held out her hands, and to her massive astonishment, she caught the giant boulder in her hands. "HOWWWW!? I didn't even imbed iron in my muscles yet!!!"

"A dragon in this environment is many times stronger than it is normally." said Wild Dragon. "You could fall off this cliff, miles all the way down to the water below.. and you would survive without much of a scratch.. it is a safe haven for our kind.. and like it or not Narina.. you've inherited my power.. and combining it with the power of Shocker Girl.. you've created a unique Beast Type ability that has never been seen before.."

Narina went quiet. She wasn't sure what to make of this Wild Dragon fellow. She didn't know him.. as far as Grandfathers were concerned, her dad pretended he didn't exist.. and his grandma liked to keep him at a hundred mile distance... choosing to spoil Narin and Mizo instead of acknowledging the Grandpa who wasn't in the picture..

"I don't blame you for not saying anything.." Wild Dragon said. "your parents, and your grandmother Manaka pretended that I didn't exist at my own request. A dragon isn't exactly the type that likes to be held down.."

"So that's it?" Narina muttered, annoyed. "Me and Mizo hold you down? Mom and Dad.. did they hold you down too?"

"That's not what I meant.." Wild Dragon said. "My work wasn't yet finished.. I'm over 1000 years old Narina, unlike your Grandmother, you, and every other human in this century, I don't need to the superior medical care of this century to extend my life.. a dragon is naturally able to live past many millennia.. some of the dragons who live in here are were around to shake snouts with the dinosaurs.. You could say I am currently the oldest human on Earth.  I have seen many eras that have been so called.. peaceful.. however.. this era, as deceptive as it might be.. is not at peace.."

"So.." Narina muttered. "I take it you took my clothes?"

"You're my grandkid.. and I'm a thousand years old, there's nothing I haven't seen." said Wild Dragon. "Don't be a baby.. the clothes you wear now is more suited to the climate and absorbing the healing vitamins into your skin."

"And.. how do I get back home?" Narina asked.

"I have a teleporter in the back of the cave.." said Wild Dragon. "Feel free to get back to your classes at any time.."

"Okay... then.." Narina muttered edging her way to the back of the cave..

"Rrrrrroooooarrrrrr..snnnnffffff.." The dragon snorted again, turning her beautiful head to look at Narina, blinking.

"Though.. like Astralis is suggesting at the moment, you could hold off a bit before going home.." said Wild Dragon. "And learn to summon that form known as Prism Dragon at will.."

Narina stopped in her tracks..

"You do want to be able to contend with Violet.. don't you?" Wild Dragon asked.

Narina sat down on the floor of the cave next to her grandfather. "Umm.. yeah.. could you teach me?"

"Yes.. I could." said Wild Dragon. "But first.. I believe you want to ask me.. what exactly Prism Dragon is?"

"I definitely am curious.." Narina said.

"As you are aware probably from your classes at the Academy, a Beast Type Super Human, is the result of Alien Experimentation on our ancestors during the early years of human evolution." said Wild Dragon. "And an Awakened Super Human with the Beast type power, can come in several categories.."

Wild Dragon held up a finger. "The first type, is Multiform.. a Beast Type like Barracuda Barry, who is capable of multiple forms.. the second type.. like your friend Nue.. is a Gear Type.. somebody who uses a single form.. however, she can activate different forms of the ability, such as speed, power, or agility, and become versatile.... the third type.. the type I possess.. is Singular.. which is merely a single form that I am capable of transforming into ... however... Singular Types have the most potent, and intensive powers.."

Wild Dragon pointed at Narina. "Prism Dragon, is your singular type.. however, it has merged with your Shocker Girl abilities, which you experimented with to points that not even the original Shocker Girl could have ever dreamed of. Magnetizing Carbon, creating Diamond armor.. by doing this.. it activated the dragon sleeping in your DNA.. dragons have an intense affinity with carbon and diamond.. when you created your Magnet Art Diamond abilities.. you created a secondary mode for your powers.. Prism Dragon.."

"Umm.. that's.. cool.." Narina said.

"However, like many Beast Form Singulars.. it is immensely difficult to unlock such a form.. and as it's combined with your electric powers.. you can only activate it, by activating the powers of Shocker Girl first.."

"So.. it's like.. a super saiyan?" Narina asked.

"Super.. what?"

"Nevermind.." Narina said. "L-listen.. Gr-Grandpa.. I don't know you that well. and frankly, I don't even know if we like each other or not.. but, I'm prepared to do anything you tell me!! ANYTHING at all.. to master Prism Dragon!! Please!! TEACH ME!!!"

Narina bowed respectfully to Wild Dragon. "I'll take on any super difficult training or whatever!!!"

"You're willing to do anything.." said Wild Dragon.

"YES!"

"Fine.. " said Wild Dragon. "Then.. the first thing you're going to do is.."

Narina bit her lip, preparing to hear whatever super tough pushups or hellish training she was going to have to do.. whatever Karate Kid weird wax on wax off stuff she had to-"

"Go cuddle with Astralis." said Wild Dragon.

"What?" Narina said, not sure she heard right.

"You heard me.. " said Wild Dragon.

Astralis hummed and growled cheerfully, slithering over to Narina and curling around her..

It didn't feel bad or anything.. in fact, it felt pleasant.. like a warm bed.. odd considering these were armored scales.

"Uh.. this like... wax on wax off?" said Narina.

"I didn't ask you to wash Astralis." said Wild Dragon. "Dragons constantly cuddle with each other to ensure that they are absorbing nutrients correctly, and it is also a form of affection.. "

After about 12 minutes of nonsensical cuddling, Narina looked up. "Umm.. anything else?"

"Yes.. it is almost feeding time for the other dragons.." said Wild Dragon. "You will have some shark meat, than proceed with Astralis down to the gathering area to hum with the other dragons.."

"And?" Narina said, raising an eyebrow.  "What then?"

"Socialize.. get to know the other dragons.." said Wild Dragon.

"Umm.. okay.. weirdest training ever.. " said Narina.

And so Narina met other dragons... She traveled mainly by riding on Astralis's back.

As it turned out, there were many large platforms of rocky outcroppings.. all with dragons crawling everywhere in the place.

There were cute dragon hatchlings, fluttering around like little birds with their stubby little wings. Massive old dragons with gray metallic scales.. or extremely old dragons with massive spires of diamond encrusted over their backs.

And.. Narina spent the day with all of them.

She helped them catch fish at the giant 50 mile wide lake below by beating them out of the water with her bare hands, something that was easy considering her enhanced strength thanks to the environment..

Apparently dragons really had a taste for sharks, considering them to be treats.

She ate with them.. ran around with them.. and all the while.. not getting what the heck her Grandfather was doing...

The dragons, seemed to adore her for some reason.. not like the "Oh my gosh, let's worship you" sort of adore.. but more like the "Oh! Look at the cute little hatchling, let's spoil her!" kind of adore.

She even had to run from one large mother that attempted to feed her.

The hatchlings were fun to be around.. overall they were each the size of a large puppy, and their fat little bodies and stubby wings allowed them to rival baby pandas in terms of cuteness. They would crawl over each other clumsily, and stumble over each other, or gather in large cute piles, making squeaking noises.

And Narina would lie on the rocky shoreline of the lake, letting the baby dragons stumble all over her, licking her face, or sleeping on her chests, their bodies like mini heaters, warming her.

Finally, after the sunlight began to fade.. Astralis came to find her, and carried her all the way back to Wild Dragon's cave.. when they made it back.. another dragon was in the cave.

It was larger than Astralis. It's scales were ruby red, and there were numerous dents and battle scars all over it's  body, the edges of it's wings were frayed and scarred as well. It's bottom teeth protruded from it's jaw, and it had a large crescent moon shaped scar over it's left eye.

Wild Dragon was petting the red dragon's snout.

"This is Astralis's father, Gresh.." said Wild Dragon. "He has been my partner for many long years.. "

"Umm..  okay.." Narina said. "So.. I did what you told me..to.. hung out with dragons.. probably turned into Narina of the Jungle.. Narizan, Queen of the Apes.. or Dragons.. or would it be Tarina? I'm not sure.. was there a point to this?"

"Yes there is" Wild Dragon. "But it would be pointless to explain it at this point.."

"Riiiight.. Wax on Wax off." Narina said.

"I don't get your reference." said Wild Dragon. "In any case.. you are done for the day.. that teleporter in back will bring you back to the Girls Dorm.. I will leave a similar teleporter in your room.. after your classes are done.. report back here.. and  we shall resume your training.."

Gresh let out a tired growl and nuzzled Astralis's snout.

"Please.. Gramps.. could you er.. at least give a  teensy hint on what I'm doing here?" Narina asked.

Wild Dragon sighed. "You ever read that book, Eragon?"

"No.." said  Narina.

"Start reading it." said Wild Dragon. "Now.. until tomorrow.."

Narina glared at Wild Dragon then shrugged, before walking to the back of the cave where a metal platform with a flickering light was situated.

She was about to step on.. when she felt a hot breath on her shoulder, and turned to see Astralis.

"Eh.. hi.." said Narina.

"Rrrgghh."   Astralis nodded.

"Um.. you can go now.." said Narina.

"Take her with you.." said Wild Dragon. "You are to spend all your days with her from now on.."

"WHAT!?" Narina stammered. "HOW!? SHE'S THE SIZE OF  A FRIGGIN'"

Before Narina could finish her sentence, Astralis leapt up and  shrank to the size of a house cat, jumping onto Narina's shoulder.

"Whoa.." Narina stammered.

"Silver Dragons are capable of switching between two sizes.. now.. I  recommend you keep her out of sight.. after all... dragon taming is illegal.." said Wild Dragon.

"OH COME ON!!" Narina growled. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE-"

Wild Dragon bopped Narina on the forehead with a palm, pushing her right into the teleport pad, causing her to disappear in a flash of blue light.

"Hmph.. tourist.." Wild Dragon muttered.

Wild Dragon stared at Gresh for a minute, who growled nuzzled his head affectionately against Wild Dragon's hand.

"You're correct.." said Wild Dragon. "Those two are indeed perfect for each other.."
