Medusa PoV

When I woke up I felt somewhat dizzy. As I lift my arm and hold my head I notice something. My hand had no scales on it. My eyes snapped open and I looked up. In front of me was a human hand. Long, thin and with soft skin similar to a babies.

I smiled and brought my hand to my face to feel it. My face was also changed. It was human and I had long waist length green hair.

As I stood up to see myself in a mirror I suddenly fell over. When I looked back I finally saw why. My chest was that of a beautiful woman’s with near perfect proportions not being too large or small, a perfect hourglass figure. At the waist down where I should have had legs was now on long snake like tail.

From the waist to the tip of the tail I would guess there was at least 4 meters of tail. The scales on it were a beautiful copper brown color that seems to shine with the light that hit it. Along the tail as many large spots that had a stronger brown color and within just a slightly lighter copper red color.

It took a while before I figured out how to move the tail. I wrapped it in a large roll making a kind of seat with my own tail and then stood up from there. Slowly I made myself move forwards. It was a slow start but I was finally able to move about. Looking down once more I saw that I was completely naked this whole time.

I didn’t care before because Minor lizard woman don’t really look any different from men but now I have a real adult woman’s body and a human woman’s upper body, if nothing else I was getting extremely embarrassed.

I looked around and took a simple cloth and wrapped it around my breasts and then I took my casually clothes which were simple cloth robes and put them on. They were quite tight in the chest area because of my new baggage but this would change quickly after I report my rank up. I first go to a mirror and check myself out.

When I stand at the most natural height my tail can hold me I stand at around 160. I have long wavy green hair, emerald green eyes and fair slightly tan skin. Like I said before I had a perfect hourglass figure and at least E cup breasts.

It was strange to look at myself with such a human-like body though around my cheeks were several small green scales and my ears were pointed like and elf’s and were green in color matching the other scales and hair.

It was quite a strange look if I do say myself.

Well no need to worry about it. I slowly walk over to my bed and pick up my weapons, a sword and shield, and hold the shield in my left arm while by sword I put in a sheath that as strapped around my waist. Sigh, I really need new gear. This stuff feels small and definitely will break if I fight considering I ranked up I must have at least tripled in strength.

With my ever increasing control of my new method of movement I began moving about and finally exited my room and headed to the commander's office. The commander was normally a high ranking demon or monster. Rarely one of the elites would be here helping out which in that case they would be considered the highest authority.

As I knock on the door I hear a rough voice.

???: Who is it?

Medusa: It’s me sir Medusa.

???: ...You didn’t hiss who are you?

Medusa: As I said I am medusa I ranked up last night and wish to request new equipment sir.

A moment of shuffling was heard and the door opened. The current commander was a large bulky human man but the pressure he excluded was far beyond a mere human. It was the fire god Vulcan.

Vulcan: ...My that's...quite the rank up.

Medusa: You are dealing with the commander's duties today great god of fire.

Vulcan: Yes I actually came to check on you. I had left you in Ideo’s care but he was sent somewhere by Baal.

Medusa: As you can see the rabbit king and queen were quite good teachers.

???: I’m sure they were. They both trained with Master and Sir Baal.

Inside was another god. Jesse the Valken Warrior of Earth.

Jesse: Seems you’ve advanced quite well into the earth affinity.

Medusa: Yes, I’ve always had a better brain than a body.

Vulcan: Well if its equipment let me see.

The fire god walks to the desk and writes something and hands it to me.

It was a document that states the need for armor change.

I bowed and left for the armory in the barracks.

The armory is below the barracks and is monitored by an angel and a few other creatures.

I get there and hand the document to the head of the armory. She looks it over then calls one of the monsters and tells it to bring new armor with all the proper sizes. Truthfully I have no idea how she knew my sizes. I didn’t even know all my sizes.

Sometime later the monster returned with larger steel plate armor colored a copper red.

Angel: The color shows your best affinity. Someone that has had their third rank up gets this because they have already formed a good base for their best element.

(A.N Lizardling > Minor Lizardman > Lamia (variant)

The angel showed me how to put the plates on. The armor itself was similar to knight’s armor. It fit my body perfectly and still showed some of my figure since it was a proper fit. My new weapon was a large Kite shield and a long steel sword. I thank them for the help and left. I would need to training for a while before I got comfortable with this new strange body.

After getting my armor and weapon I go and grab a bite to eat in the barracks kitchen and then finally I leave.

Outside of the guards barracks is a large clearing made into a training field. The place had rings for sparing, straw dummies and even an iron golem which was said to be built by the dwarfs in the city called Oreana and then blessed by the God of earth so that it would move and regenerate to full durability after the spar is done.

As I look around I notice way too many lizard men. That’s when I see the elites. The Valken Warrior god of fire, the elite Tengu variant, the holy fox and demon foxes.

They were with someone else so I go to see.

Medusa: So you have returned.

Ideo: Hm oh Medusa.

???: Medussssa?

Suddenly Ideo turns to look at me getting out of the way of someone. Standing there was someone I hated. It made me freeze up. Unconsciously my tail curled up under me and my right hand went to my sword.

I then tipped forward with like a spring pushed off the ground with my curled up tail.

Medusa: ALDUIN!!!

CLACK

The sound of steel on steel could be heard in the field. When I looked my sword had come into contact with another as someone had blocked me.

Standing there was Aiden holding me back with one arm and her sword completely horizontal.

Aiden: Calm down bitch!

She said that in a very cold tone that made me break out in a cold sweat.

Kumi: Calm down medusa. Your brother is having trouble with his powers so we have offered him training so he can regain control of them.

The Holy fox woman walked up smile and put her face next to my ear.

Kumi: [i]”We gave him three weeks of nightmares to make him lose control. Don’t make him fight yet. Introduce yourself his sister, we will have you assigned a number of the lizard men. I want you to train with them to make them Lamia. You’re the first one we have so don’t get blinded by rage.”[i]

She pulled back and winked.

Kumi: Ok Alduin, as you heard Ideo say, this is your sister Medusa.

Alduin: ...You ranked up.

Medusa: Yes I am a Lamia (variant) I specialize in earth attribute unlike you hot head.

Alduin: Huh you a bigger hothead them me.

Medusa: At least I have control of my power.

The last thing cut him like a dagger.

Ideo: Medusa please gather a squad of about 30 lizard men and start training them. My guess would be that Rachet put you with someone with earth affinity, maybe Jesse.

Medusa: No, it was the rabbit king and queen. The Earth warrior goddess doesn’t seem to trust me.

Aiden: Just like Jesse *sigh* she is like the leader of the elites under master. She exercises the most caution especially when it's someone determined to get an earth god's blessing which she falls under.

Medusa: Yes I have yet to actually obtain it and only ranked up to this form because I trained only earth and water magic with earth being the priority.

Ideo: Still it’s quite impressive to rank up in three weeks of getting here. I would have to say it’s rather expected though.

Alduin: What do you mean itsss expected?

Kitsu: Both of you give off the same feeling that Baal and Lilian, the king and queen, give off. A kind of strange aura about you. Master is only a bit over 5 years old and yet he has led all of us to reach royal rank demons and Lilian led the angels to lesser god rank within that short time frame. Something like should really take hundreds to thousands of years.

Not only myself but Alduin as well were both shocked to hear this. I knew brother had talent for combat and as such he ranked up rather face but because of my weak body I was even born a year after him. Nobody even knew how I survived that long.

Kitsu: I tell what you’re thinking. Your brother had talent and you didn’t right? Well your talent is different from him. A draken is a very physical fighter but most lamia are long range magicians. That is the reason you couldn’t grow much with your tribe, you simply lacked the proper training.

Aiden: Hey before the chat drags on more let's get this on with.

Ideo: Hotheaded as ever.

Aiden: WHAT WAS THAT BIRD BRAIN!!

The two stared at each other and I blinked a bit before chuckling a bit.

Kumi: Is something funny?

Medusa: Fufufu no it’s that seeing these two I can’t help but feel like I’m looking at myself and my brother bickering. We both match elements you to have and we have never been in one place together without fighting.

Alduin: Heh now that you mention it we never had a normal chat.

Medusa: And we never will. It was 30 lizard men I could take correct?

Kitsu: Yes but we plan to train them all the same but I think it would be best to split the tribe in half and two separate races.

Medusa: Fine by me.

I said that and bowed to them to show my respect and then left and began to talk with my brethren. They were shocked to know I was Medusa but many were dull headed and not so smart. I did find 30 that were smarter than the others and they readily followed me after I said I could teach them lots and make them strong.

As we left towards the barracks to get them some basic armor and weapons which were better than the crude rocks weapons and rusty sword they had I saw the rest of them lining up poorly at the order of the elites.

Alduin PoV

(A.N. While he is doing the narrative part I will not increase the “s” because it would be annoying and hard to read if the whole part had all the “s” multiplied)

To say I was surprised to see my sister ranked up would be an understatement. I had thought of her as weak but listening to the masters I figured out why she was as weak as she was. She was someone who was meant for magic. Though looking at her now it seems that it wasn’t only magic that she trained in but I guess the masters here must have a way to train even weak bodied people.

Once Medusa had left with 30 other Minor lizard man from the tribe who wished to follow her the masters began training. They had everyone line up. The twin masters were sent into the building next to this dirt field and soon a few hundred monsters came out and began to look at each one of the lizard men.

After some minutes they all left and then returned and making a large pile of armor and weapons appear. I asked how they made the stuff appear and I was taught about the inventory and status windows which I have never heard about.

If we had known about them we could have transported so much before but what's in that past has gone.

The monsters when from one to the next giving them weapons and armor to don. From spears to bows and from iron armor to cloth robes. Each one was being outfitted. From what the master’s say the small monsters known as gnomes have an excellent eye that can tell which path would benefit someone the most. It is a racial trait of theirs and they are taking complete advantage to arm everyone with the best weapon for them.

Once all my brethren were armed, the masters told them to group up with those that are dress the same. They took a spear and placed it in one spot of the field, it was stabbed into the ground. A sword in another, a staff and a bow as well.

All of the lizards went slowly moved. Of the 300 lizard men we arrived with 30 went with Medusa so 270 were left here. Of them 70 held spears, 15 held staffs, 50 held bows and 90 held swords (the types vary and aren’t simple long swords). The remaining 45 ranged from holding war hammers, crossbows, a few even had craftsmen tools of different arts. Those with the tools were sent to work the crafts and would not be warriors while crossbows were put with the bowmen and the hammers would be a group of their own.

Once all the groups were decided they gave orders. Those who held staffs would wait at the south gate for an escort of demons and would report to the capital for magic training. The remains would stay here and be trained here. Those how show the most potential amount us would go to the capital to receive training from the demon general Rachet.

I was going with the fox masters to the capital since I needed training. I was told to choose 30 lizard men like Medusa.

Master Ideo said Medusa are already heading to the capital. The reason is that the 30 lizard men would make up the main race of our tribe. They want to make more races so only 30 would be taken for now. The rest would go into training here and depending on their rank up they would join our tribe or make one themselves.

I took my time to find loyal warriors among the groups making my 30 and we headed to the capital with the masters to start our training.

Flow PoV

After Lily arrived training these lazy ass guards became faster. We also took the chance to whip the last floor guards into shape and left the upper level guards there so they could feel the tension of the mining floors which are currently the most dangerous floors since its constantly under attack by the rock creatures.

One thing interesting about that floor is the iron golem guardians that Dok built. It was a really bulky half built robot that had the core of a golem from the dungeon as its power source. Dok used silver wires to help transfer the magic from the core to the outward body but even then it was rather slow but it held up nicely because of its strength. It made for a good iron wall because of the defense but that was the best they could do. They held huge tower shields to stop enemies and lets the guards take them on after they get close.

After we were satisfied we gave instructions to the captains, who suffered three times the pain in training, to continue training them well and continue the floor shifts to make sure the guards are all equal leveled. Oh I forgot to mention the recruitment was a success and now we have tons of guards in training to get required skills. They go to the fourth level with more experienced fighters and assist them to gain levels.

Its helped greatly increase security and now the city has opened up to the newborn foreigners. After learning about the town from those already here many were born as dwarves wanting to be able to expand the tech and get access to the armor.

I could say this was a good thing because now we have a huge number of dwarves working for cheap while we develop massively.

A few of the technology here has begun heading to the capital, specify the appliance magic circles but mostly simple spells like light ball which will be used for lighting the streets at night.

Now then with the training done and several Siren free I ask once more where the Siren and mermaid home is and they all point to the middle of the sea about 100km out at sea. It’s supposed to be nearly 200 km underwater in a cave underground. Inside the cave there is an underwater part of the city but within there is a pocket of air where the rest of the city was made.

With the destination set we take the Siren that have completely converted and repented their crimes with us to lead us back to the city.

We take a newly built caravel ship that was built by our shipyard.

We could have swum or flown there but we didn’t need that and wanted to get there relaxed and ready for action instead of tired from the swim.

With several humans, elves and sea lizard men manning the ship we sail off to the destination which would take a better part of 2 hours to get.

For the most part we try and learn about the Siren from those we have. Race skills, types of weapons they use, skills they learn in the sea.

It was pretty interesting to find that most of them only had basic combat skills or foraging skills. It was because though they fight a lot there strong bodies make up the most of the damage.

Half way there we heard a small voice from the water. When we look I face palmed.

In the water keeping up with the ship and hopping out of the water like a dolphin was Tear. I sighed and made I tunnel of water onto the ship which she swam up and fell into the arms of a male Siren who put her down after she was in her human form. She still had the white one piece Lily gave her.

Tear: That was mean of you two leaving me behind like that. I wanted to see mother again.

Lily: Its dangerous go back to the docks.

Tear: No!

She was pouting like a little kid with her cheeks puffed out and her arms crossed while she looks slightly to the side.

(http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/311/b/0/kid_pouting_by_xkirameku_lunaix-d85m00d.png)

Flow: *sigh* Can I trust you six to keep her from doing something stupid and to keep her safe.

The nodded.

Siren male: We can but it would be best to bring one of them. We are simple hunters for the queen. There are many stronger knights and warriors then us who fight monster sea monsters we can’t even hope of fighting.

Flow: Simple training can fix that.

Siren Female 1: Can you please not kill everyone. They are our family, you can do that thing you did to us to change them right.

Lily: We can but I don’t know if your queen will change with it.

Siren Male 2: She probably will, she has the largest body count and during the first days after ranking into a siren she killed a few fishing villages. It should be easy to make her change even enough to regret her actions though her personality might not change.

Flow: Don’t worry we planned on capturing the Sirens and no kill them. You are a powerful sea faring race and it would be stupid of us to get rid of you.

They smile warily.

We continued talking this time about the mermaids with Tear and learn about them. It seems mermaids are faster than Siren in the water which is why Tear has been able to escape for so long but mermaids lack strength. They aren’t fighters except for the knights they had which were small carnivorous fish or crustaceans.

Most of these fighters were detained or killed to keep them from rebelling.

By the time we reached to location we had finished talking.

Captain: Leaders, we have more or less arrived at the locations. It’s hard to make sure but we are expected to be within a margin of error of around 2km in any direction from the location.

Flow: Thank you captain, Well then I require 4 sea lizard men to accompany us to guard the princess. Please get armor and weapons for yourselves as well as the Siren who will aid us.

The sea lizard men saluted like soldiers and rank inside returning some time later with sea monster scaled leather armor and a steel sword. They handed a some pants and shoulder pads but no chest armor since Siren as huge compared to the small lizard men.

With all things set we all jumped into the water. All of us could breathe or hold our breath for a long time so it wasn’t anything difficult.

When the lizards jumped in they swam fast down a bit and waited a bit soon we figured out why.

The Ludroth were following and were now arriving. They had some sea monster armor on the body and neck to protect them. The lizards mounted them and sat on the saddle around the neck and we finally swarm down.

The Siren swam like humans and using their webbed hands they swam fast. Tear swam like a dolphin by hitting her tail. Me and Lily spread our wing which had features similar to sea birds. They weren't stopped by water and it made it easy to “fly” underwater. We hit our wings and swam as fast as tear while we held back.

We continue down and barely felt the change in pressure because of our resistance. I did notice the lizard kin felt it a bit but this was a good experience for them to see their limits.

As we finally spot the sea mountains under water the Siren slightly changed their directions after talking about. Yep talking they use a kind of echolocation ability to speak, it’s something similar to dolphins but there has a much larger range of tones and sounds which make up the words. If I had to say anything it could be considered their real language.

After a bit they began moving again and we swam north a bit and then stopped near a medium sized sea mountain filled with coral which seemed to shine. It was a beautiful underwater forest.

We headed halfway down the mountain and began circling it until we found a cave. In front we saw two large Siren holding large crude spears made with some kind of coral.

I look at lily and nod. She nods back before pulling her sickles out and with two flaps of her wings she rocketed through the water with one more flap she vanished and appeared on the other side.

She circled around and as we looked at the Siren they became limp and floated down unconscious.

What she did was it with the handle of her sickle on their neck and knocked them out.

Two Siren swam forward and grabbed them. We were behind them and then we headed inside bringing the guards with us after binding them with magic. Lily and I were at the front.

We met up several other Siren and captured them as well silently and bound them.

It was after 20 minutes and around 30 captured Siren that we reached the end. The space at the end was a huge cavern that was enough to fit for of Oreana docks in here. In the water was a large reef and from them carefully built houses were made.

They climbed up along the wall. Half way up the water stops and you can see the barrier between air and waters. All around the water there were Siren swimming. From my count a good 30 were swimming about armed and in all the houses Mermaids look out scared or just do whatever they are allowed to.

I get kind of annoyed and I am the one to knock them out. I took 10 out before they spot me and sound any form of alarm but before it could get out of the water they were already floating down knocked out.

All the mermaids were shocked. Soon the others arrived and we bound the others. I looked at the mermaids and put my right index finger over my mouth and ask them to be quite. They all nodded and returned home.

I then looked up and Lily did so as well. We slowly swam up with our legs since our wings made us swim too fast. We carefully swam near the center and stuck our head out to see. On both sides there was a massive above water reef in a huge cavern 30 meters high and around 200 m to both sides. The houses here were made from coral as well but only on the ground. It was all basic crudely built stuff. The only impressive building was the huge coral castle at the end of the waterway in the middle of both sides. The water way split the town in half and the castle was at the end of this.

Though this may make it easy to enter the problem arises when you try to get in. The palace was at least 6 meters above the water and the only entrance was from either side of the castle on the far side of the wall. That meant you had to go through the entire city or fly to get in.

Flow: From the looks of we either fight our way in capturing all the Siren or we fly into the castle and catch the queen.

Lily: Lily thinks its best get a warm up before we get the queen. She might be ranked higher than normal Sirens.

I chuckled and nodded it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle. With that in mind I called the others up and told them our plan.

With that done I took the left side and Lily took the right. Tear was to stay with me with the sea lizard men while the Siren go with Lily to help her move the Siren she captures.

Well let’s keep this short to put things simply I used a large flash spell that drew a lot of attention as did Lily and when nearly half the Siren were near I knocked all of them out in moments before they even know what was going on and hand them bound in light chains before they fell to the ground.

After moving forward to the palace gate the remaining Siren were there and behind me were the sea lizard men. Behind them further back were the mermaids that had seen me fight and were following. The guards here were obviously of another rank. They were much better trained unlike the ones I fought and had good armor.

That said they were able to last a minute before the last one fell. What? I said they were better but I never said they were up to par with me. Only master, Baal or other royal rank demons or lesser gods and above will ever be able to match me in any form.

With the castle guards done I tie them up and leave them to the lizards with and Tear and move in. At the same time I see Lily arriving. Tear came running behind me. She had a sparkling eyes. From her expression she seems to see me as a role model now. My guess is this little princess will want to learn to fight. I wonder if mermaids can fight. Maybe magic.

Lily: HAHA that was a good warm up. Lily was able to stretch well though it was too quick.

Unlike the childish Lily I held my calm face as we opened the door. It was locked but it’s not like it would hold up . I simply cut into the groove between the door cutting the locks and opened the door like nothing. The first room was already the throne room and sitting on the throne was what looked like a mermaid but since she was out of water and had two legs and not a long tail. She had wavy green hair reminiscent sea weed. Her eyes were a deep red, around her eyes and cheeks were some scales and deep long red marks. From her grin we could see two long sharp fangs similar to a vampires. Her arms had markings like on her face as did her entire body and large scales. Her breasts were covered by a bra of scales and her hands had long claws.

In a cage to the side was a beautiful woman with dark navy blue. She looked completely human and had various shell and clam ornaments that were being used to cover her body.

Flow: So you must be the Siren queen.

Siren Queen: My am I not popular. for such beings to visit my little town. On and I must thank you greatly for retrieving my little pet. I have missed her so.

Tear hid more behind me with teary eyes.

My blood began boiling seeing this tramp speak like that. It was clear that she was nothing but evil. It was then that I heard the very low but still audible sound from all directions. The sirens song and illusion.

I instantly acted by releasing my white miasma and making a mana and miasma barrier around me. Lily seems to have noticed after seeing and did the same.

Lily: It's not nice to try hypnotizing.

She said that while looking towards the wall and gathered miasma on her left sickle.

She slashed hard and the miasma left a cut in the air that flew at incredible speeds slicing into the walls.

Though the cut was in the middle of the wall the area it cut formed huge amounts of cracks until it fell down revealing a large number of Siren all pale from fear. The cut had been perfectly horizontal and went just over their heads without cutting a single hair but it was clearly enough to scare them half to death.

Siren queen: How di…

before she could speak I was in front of her and I gave her a weak punch in the gut but I already knew she wasn’t a normal Siren. She was humans sized unlike the much larger minions.

Her body bent in a V shape and her eyes became clouded as she lost consciousness.

I then turn to the group of Siren and saw them already taken care of and the other wall destroyed already with the ones there also knocked out and bound.

I then bind the queen as well as put a gag on her as well as all the Siren we caught and then cut apart the cage holding the queen.

Flow: It’s good to meet you queen Ul.

Ul: You know me?

Lily: Hehe Of course Tear told us about your problems and we came to help not only you but the Siren.

Flow: We have a way of making them change their ways. We will soon make it so the Sirens stop being evil including your sister their queen.

Ul: *sigh* Thank you.

She said in a weak voice before fainting. We kind of guess this because of a few bruises on her body. She was probably beaten. We healed her and then made food for her and fed it to her. Finally taken care of we leave while carrying them.

The mermaids were outside.

Flow: Good citizens. We mean no harm to the Merfolk. We came to help. As of now we have freed you of the Siren.

As soon as I said that they erupt in cheers.

Flow: We would ask you to help us transport the Siren to the docks at the shores. We will take care of judging the Siren. We ask you to all please come with us I know you must all be tired and possibly weak as I see many look malnourished but we can take care of you when we get there.

There was another round of cheers. The Mermaids helped us take the siren to the land. They swam, though slow, to land and we helped them by making a temporary current that would increase their speed.

Once on land the Siren were transported to Oreana’s prison where they would begin their treatment to get rid of that evil personality.

The queen and Tear had been moved to the ship and half way they woke up and were given food. She was very pale in comparison to her daughter who when we caught her was the same. The girl now looked healthy and had regained a few pounds and her curves were showing now.

Ul: I don’t know how I can thank you.

Lily: No need. We would have helped even without finding Tear since they were causing trouble for us.

Flow: Well for now recover. We when we ask that you come to Oreana to help recover. Your people can come to Oreana as well. Once you recover and are completely healed as well as doing our treatment on your sister we would like for you and her to come with us to meet our masters.

Lily: I think you will like them. You and your sister have that same strange aura about you. I think it’s a leader's aura.

She chuckled somewhat bitterly.

Ul: I’m a horrible leader. My people were barely getting by and then my sister returned. She made it worst. We are good fishermen but that is only because we are fast. Our fighters are no longer alive.

That was something we found out after looking through the castle. All the knights had been eaten by the Siren.

Flow: Don’t worry, you're with us now and we will help your people. We can train you to fight and hunt and I’m sure you guys can help us greatly with your speed in the water.

She smiled warily and nodded.

Ul: It would be nice to be of help...and to get some help as well.

We took the tired queen and princess to Oreana and began treatment on all the captured Siren who filled the prison and a few nearby houses that were needed to house all of them.
