Reaching up to the ceiling was a dragon. Tied down with chains and all sorts of magic spells active on it. The body was all dried up lacking any moisture. The scales, what was left of them anyway were all destroyed plastered to the body like a makeshift puzzle.
Galtea: My User this.. is a former operator....someone like me. This is heartwrenching I can barely look at her through your eyes. Those seals are of my kind they should not be here.
Galtea started to return back to despair if I didn't have my Eldar sword in my hand I think I would have died from grief. Well heartbreak at the very least. I am loving this sword more and more.
'Calm yourself Galtea, we will do what we can to help her I promise.' I tried my best to comfort her with my words before addressing the dragon.
"So who are you and what do you want? Also no funny business I felt some of the things you have done to the people of this world. Not gonna lie it has limited some of your options." I told the dragon in the most serious tone I could muster.
"Please kill me then I am sick of being here. I have almost no power left. I am no real threat to them." The dragon lady pleaded to me.
'Galtea what can we do?' Let's see what she chooses.
Galtea: My User I cannot make that decision for you. This is something you must choose but I do wish you can save her.
'Very well then.' " I thought for about five minutes. Sign your self over to me and become my follower and I will give you your freedom in the future." I thought of several options in the beginning but something told it would not be a good idea. I thought of putting her in a blank sword from Bleach, turning her into a bit beast for a Beyblade, even thought of making her a Digimon, turning her into a dragoon from Legend of Dragoon, thought of turning her into a Constellation armor from Saint Seiya, in the end, this seemed better I think.
"You would enslave me! You filthy mortal! How dare you!." She lashed out with some magic towards me. I am really starting to hate dragons again.
I placed my sword at my front allowing it to divert the magic. Also activating my biotic shielding to keep it contained as well. Lv5 12 /170 Biotic Shielding
"You have those abilities how mortal?!" The dragon seemed to be both surprised and oddly happy.
'Galtea what the hell is going on with her.' She may not be able to decide for me but she should be able to answer questions.
Galtea: My User she is like you in a way. I cannot say specifically but know this The System placed her in your path for a reason. Killing her is a way of helping her...but do not choose that option. Make your decision soon.
After the magic stop pouring out my shield dropped. I looked at my feet and I was pushed more than 250 feet back. This dragon was a monster.
"So can you not try that again.. I like my legs thank you very much. So about that option I made." I asked tentatively as I could. That blast was something else. Galtea may think I can kill her but something tells me I would die doing so.
'Is he half an Operator and User... I wonder if he is. I can't feel any fluctuations of an Operator though. He must be a User. That would be for the best he would be able to heal me. Hopefully, the Council has mostly died already. If not I will stay with this person to recover. "I agree to become one of your followers. It will be an honor to serve you, my Lord. Also, I can gain a new form when you accept me. I can tell this form displeases you." The dragon said to me softly like she was trying to gain my favor.
'Galtea so how do I do this?' This better not hurt.
Galtea: Go up to her head and let your power wash over her and I will do the rest.
I approach the chains and touch her head. Pouring out my power I let it engulf her entirely. After five minutes I feel a little pain in my chest.
System: Choose a new form for your follower. It must be a mythical creature.
'I choose a Celestial Wolf as her form.' I really like wolves so this should help get over our bad first encounter.
Galtea: My User she is now resting in your netherworld I will do my best to converse with her and find out what has transpired. She wanted to tell you her name was Alita. It is best if you leave this room and meet up with your squad.
'Right I should.' I break off into a run to meet up with my squad.
