They were so sure they could control me...

They were wrong.

Humans always seem to forget the origin of the reality and the universe itself. I cannot really blame them for such ignorance considering most of them can only live a century, some of them cheat and manage to live even thousands of years. But those numbers are nothing but simple dots of dust in comparison with what I have lived. I have seen the beginning of this reality and I am sure I will see the dawn of this era and the beginning of another one... It has happened so many times I have already forgotten the number. The never ending circle of life always repeating itself again and again with a few changes here and there... Humans would definitely get bored after the first millennia. They simply couldn't appreciate the little differences that made the experience quite enjoyable... Well, they were humans in the end. It would take endless cycles before they can fix their idiocy.

Then again, I don't expect them to even dream about understanding what I am and my purpose in this universe. I was proven they simply couldn't be trusted, especially the denizens of Mount Targon... But I do suppose you don't care about things that have already been written down on books. And yes, I am talking to you. Do not mistake me for one of those soulless and non-existing beings you are so interested in. I may be just a simple story but my essence is eternal. You have witnessed what I have created and more than once, you have been struck with awe at my marvels... Or maybe you were terrified. Or maybe you felt inferior, knowing that you are even smaller than a grain of sand in the infinite universe above your head. Wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, humans tend to worry about things that are beyond their control. Such as natural disasters or the very concept of death.

Useless. You should put all of your efforts in the things you know you can control and change them to your will. In that regard, I have always been amazed at how some humans do stand out of the crowd and managed to reach unexpected levels. Of course, they are still small dots but they kind of shine... A little, but enough to even make me witness their deeds. Those humans may act like arrogant brats but they back their words with actions and facts... Ah, I am truly growing old. To think I would consider humans something else other than trash. Maybe atoms and other microscopic beings... But not trash. Outstanding, indeed.

But I do know you didn't come here just to be lectured by this old dragon. Although you should consider yourself grateful I am allowing you to hear some of my wisdom. Others would definitely kill for this occasion... Ah! Another marvel of the humans! Words do seem to have influence and even power over their beliefs and thoughts. Fascinating, indeed. I actually tried to do the same but it seems my voice is too wondrous for humans to even understand. Such pity.

Let us travel into the past, my friend. In a dimension where Runeterra was ruled by the powerful magicians called 'Summoners' and the Institute of War stood above the other countries... Or City-States, however you want to call it. They created something called the 'League of Legends'. In this peculiar gathering of powerful individuals, the summoners designed a way to settle the great conflicts of the world in a battle arena where Ten individuals would decide the tides of the matter... Quite foolish, if you ask me. To let the destiny of entire nations in the small hands of those beings... Some would call it madness but I do believe humans are not exactly known for their sanity. Either way, our story doesn't have anything to do with these pesky beings and the world called Runeterra. As I said before, our story begins in that universe where the 'League of Legends' and the 'champions' exist. Where I myself have been labeled as their equals even though I am on a completely different plane of existence.

This is the story of how I grew bored of the rules and the restrictions of that world. How I broke my chains and decided to leave the wretched cage where I was imprisoned and escaped the will of Targon. How I traveled through the stars until I stumbled in front of this peculiar world, similar to Runeterra but different at the same time. How I got to meet a completely new culture of humans whose basic rules were not set around magic... These peculiar humans seemed to not even believe something like me was even possible aside from the fairy tales and the myths. How I experienced and tasted new and unknown things. How I discovered the small things that made the human life an adventure worth watching and remembering.

These are the days when I changed, when I became something I never considered possible, when I went against my pride and honor just so I could experience this new world to the fullest, when my powerful claws became hands and my fangs became teeth, when my imposing body shrank to the point I wasn't able to touch the mountains, when I decided to live among these weak creatures as one of them, when I got to experience their everyday life, when I got a job and learned the struggles of the common folk... This is the story about how I met other dragons and I learned about their insecurities and dreams.

But above everything else, this is her story. How we met and came to live in the same apartment. These are the days we spent and how I came to understand human life is incredibly short in comparison with my own...

This is the story about Miss Kobayashi and me...

...

...

Now that I think about it... She never told me her name...

I should have asked when I got the chance...

The cosmic dragon arrives!

(Good adults never get this drunk, though.)

"Who are you?! Stay back or else, I will definitely end your life! I may be wounded but I can still deal with you!" The baby dragon roared upon noticing my presence.

I am not picky regarding what terrestrial dragons may think but I always thought they did possess a certain amount of manners when meeting a celestial dragon such as myself. Then again, this child still needs wings in order to fly, a complete and unproductive way of traveling. I suppose her species still needs a few more centuries before they evolve into something respectable. Not the apex of her race but something that would not shame the other dragons.

If it were any other day, I would have ended her pathetic and rude life in the blink of an eye. Any other day, of course. I can see a peculiar sword penetrating one of her sides, a fountain of blood was erupting from it and there was already a pool of the foul liquid beneath her form. I can guess she bit more than she could swallow. Maybe I should simply end her suffering. I pity she managed to get herself in this sort of situation. Giving her a painless and quick death would definitely be merciful. Although, I am sure she hasn't learned her lesson and would eventually end up in the same or an even worse scenario... Then again, she is a child. The wonders of the universe are still a mystery for her and I don't really expect her to understand all these concepts in the next thousands of years... Oh well. I used to think like that in my younger days. A few eons ago, give or take.

I wave one of my paws and a few lights of stardust appear on the sword. The material seems quite resistant and I can already tell it was crafted by divine hands... But it was still an earthly sword, mediocrity was the only term I found fit for such creation. Pitiful.

"You... What did you do?! That sword was created by the gods! There is no way normal magic would work on it!" Her surprise is almost insulting.

"What is a piece of soil in comparison with the cosmic fire that burns for eternity? Such weak weapon is but a needle made of filthy materials. A respectable dragon would not allow themselves so fall against such pathetic excuse of a knife."

"W-Wha...? What do you mean with that?!" Once again, I found myself amazed with the idiocy of some creatures. Maybe I should have left her to die here. Death seems quite effective against stupidity.

"I did not mean anything at all, youngster. I simply stated what should be obvious for every being with an ounce of logic."

"You...! You are insulting me!" Oh, joy! Maybe there is still hope for this one! "If you keep spouting nonsense, I will exterminate you!" I just disintegrate a sword that had her in a dire spot, and she thinks she can defeat me!? There is no hope, after all.

"Ease your aggression, child. I am a dragon like you and I do not seek any conflict."

"We may be dragons, but what if we are in different factions? I am a chaos dragon. Are you like me or do you follow the annoying harmony doctrine? State you alignment!"

"Chaos and Harmony have no difference at all aside from the name. There cannot be chaos without harmony and vice versa. I create stars bit the materials come from destroyed planets and stars. Nothing in this world is destroyed, it only becomes something else. Thinking that two sides of the same coin are different is quite immature-"

"You sound like one of those neutral weirdos" How arrogant. Aside from interrupting me, she is now calling me derogatory bogus and the such "But I suppose you did help so I guess you are not my enemy, at least..." Such crude and troglodyte way of thinking but she heard my words "Either way, thanks for getting rid of the sword. I did think it was the end for me... Thank you for saving me." Fearing my usual temper would ruin the moment, I decided to simply nod "I am planning to stay here until my wounds are healed. If you ever need a powerful ally, you can call me anytime."

"I see... I will... 'Consider' your offer."

"You do that..." She said reading herself for flight "Oh! My name is Tohru, by the way"

"I am known as Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger." Despite her tomboyish demeanor, I can see she had some manners.

"We shall meet again, Aurelion Sol. Until next time!" And she was lost into the night sky.

Hmph... Not the kind of meeting I was expecting but I suppose it went better than expected. It seems the dragons of this realm may be in a complicated situation and I believe intruding in such affairs could be a complete waste of my time. But I suppose I could grace them with my presence if needed. This Tohru fellow seemed to not recognize my species so I suppose Celestial dragons are not that common in this land... So much for coming here. If there are no celestial dragons, the best course fo actions would be to leave before I attract more attention. I have already escaped from the Summoner's cage and I do not wish to have anything to do with the hu-.

"Oh! Wow! It is a dragon!"

My train of thoughts was suddenly stopped by that voice. I have not expected to meet another human, especially considering how deep in the mountains I was and also because it was already past midnight... Maybe I did something to deserve this sort of luck. I can think of a hundred reasons but that right now is not important... What matters is the creature that is currently in front of me.

He is an average human. With average stature, average complexion, average strength, average speed... He was average, let us leave it like that. He had red strands tied in a simple ponytail and even I could tell he really didn't care about the state of his hair. Although, it was remarkable how his eyes reminded me of those of a dead fish. Small amber pupils behind a pair of average glasses. He was wearing a strange set of clothes but I could tell those were the kind of garments he used in his daily life. Maybe a worker of something like that... He was the kind of being I would definitely ignore... But right now I couldn't because he was currently trying to reach my claws.

"You are so weird!" He laughed with a high-pitched voice, he was clearly drunk "You are so blue and purple! And you have these cute hands and feet! How weird!" In one of his jumps, he managed to latch himself on me "Oh! You are cold! But... It is kind of nice..."

"Human. I do not know why a foolish man such as yourself would do something as stupid as this but I can tell you I will not-"

"What do you mean with 'a foolish man', huh?" He seemed clearly mad at my comment "I am a girl!" That... Oops, it seems I made a mistake. I always thought I had already learned to notice the differences between the genders. I guess I still need a bit of practice. "Now I am really mad! Come on and have a drink with me!" She ordered me.

"I would never lower myself to such behavior... And besides, I can't possibly drink in this form-"

"Come on! Come on! Drink with me! Drink with me! Come on!" The girl cried like a baby.

I was reaching the limit of my patience and I did want to eliminate this annoyance. But on the other hand, I was curious about this world. And maybe this girl could possess the answers I am looking for. Even if drunk, I am sure she will surely answer my questions. No other choice. I never thought there would come a time where I would actually use that accursed ascendant spell. But I guess I could always try it once... Just so they can't say I was a coward...

I breathed the cold night air and allowed the cosmic magic to flow all over my body. I felt how my anatomy began to change and morph into something different. I sense how my limbs began to shake and lose all material form, the atoms wander in the environment for a moment before I command them to join together in a different shape. I can feel somehow constrained in this form and I can also feel some of my original features can still be seen in this new body... But I suppose this will have to do.

"Oh... I never thought you were a pretty boy." The woman comments studying my new body "You spoke like an old man so I supposed you were some perverted middle-aged dude"

"You... You are quite rude for a human...!" I wasn't sure how she managed to be this impertinent, especially in front of something as outstanding as me.

"I... I'm sorry for that..." She seemed actually ashamed of her behavior "Oh! I haven't introduced myself! I am Kobayashi!"

"Aurelion Sol"

"That is an exotic name! And it fits you just fine!"

"I do not need you to patronize me, human."

"Aww! Don't be like that, Sol! You are quite handsome! Let's drink so you can smile some more."

"I will gratefully enjoy the alcohol but I will not smile for you."

"Yes! Yes, whatever the mean and powerful dragon says... But I would like to know... Aren't you cold?"

"What do you mean, human?"

"Well... That's because you are... Uh... Naked."

I

AM

SORRY!

I just have these ideas bothering me and I can't seem to get anything done if I don't write!

Either way, this will definitely be a series. Although, considering just how many stories I have waiting for me. I don't know just how long it will take for me to get something done.

Either way, I hope you can enjoy this one and I would like to hear your thoughts so feel fre to review. It helps a lot.
