《On The Run From A Dragon》Day Six: Part Two
Advertisement
June woke up in the morning and she some how ended up being wrapped round Tom. Getting the feeling that he was hungry and she should make breakfast. She got out of bed and trying her best not to wake him up. It's a lot easier now that she is lost so much weight and some height. Then she noticed something off about the air in the room. It was heavy and thick all most like water, but not as clingy. Looking down at herself, all of her feathers have grown longer and unfolded. Extending her arms out, she could feel her muscles go taunt and the flight feathers on her forearm were excited out also. She had a wingspan of ten feet. The urge to try out flying was there, but then 'that' reminded her of him.
Tom's paranoia.
'He's going to be hungry when he wakes up.'
Some mana ran through her body as she got the message. Knowing she was addicted to it and not caring, she got to work. June called up some room service and asked how much it was going to be after ordering. The manager at the desk informed her.
"It's no cost ma'am, so long as The Master Wizard is happy. Is he enjoying his stay?"
Going with the flow, she replied.
"Yes, he is happy with his room. Also paying for his food is something he always tries to do if he can. So how much?"
The man on the line cleared his throat.
"Very well. We'll have breakfast up as soon as possible. It only be forty-two seventy-three. Is there any else we can do for you?"
She gave a cheerful reply.
"No, I think that will be all. Thank you for your service."
After hanging up on him, she waited for the food to come up. When it did, she gave the goblin waiter a fifty after being in the cart and told to keep the charge. June caught her studying Tom's sleeping form. A rage came over as her feathers puffed up. She lifted her wings in the air and raised a foot to stomp or slash. The goblin's green face turned all most wight with dread. In a low voice dripping with hate, June told her.

"Want to die you little shit?"
Letting out a small squeak, the goblin ran out the room. June held in check the need to run her down. As she calmed down and realized that may have been uncalled for. Nothing she could do about it now. She woke up Tom and let him have breakfast in bed. There was another hit of mana when he dug into his steak and eggs. Feeling all warm and fuzzy inside she told him.
"I'm going to take a show and after that, whats the plan to day?"
Before take a bite he answered.
"To Take Over The World!"
She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I should have known. I'll be right back."

The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'

The Wandering Scholar
Zhou Mingzie, A young Chinese American is suddenly brought into a mythical land, similar to China in many ways, but is most definitely not. This new world appears to contain cultivation elements like the Wuxia and Xanxia stories he read throughout highschool, but he can also gain Levels and Skills, I mean Paths and Techniques. Sure he is Chinese, but he grew up in America, so he doesn't want to ascend to the heavens and fight spirit beasts, does he? But Mom wants him to embrace his heritage more...jk...unless? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Inspired heavily by The Wandering Inn and Beware of the Chicken, as well as cultivation novels in general, this story hopes to take a Westernish approach to the standard Cultivation approach, being more subtle and changing how it approaches the standard tropes of the genre, without abandoning them entirely.
