When Dad did finally came home, he was in such a good mood that mother was a little suspicious, enough so to interrogate him not even 5 minutes after he walked through the castle doors. 

Vedbrii is extremely scary when she is angry, please God let me never anger her, for it will be the death of me. Sahqoviin might be even more of a monster, being able to handle that pressure with a nervous laugh. The nervous laugh completely disappears after mother gets seriously pissed off though 

He starts to explain what the council meeting was about with a now troubled expression on his face, he is currently sputtering out words so fast and incomplete it only angers my dear mommy even further.

I want to hide, get me off of this womans shoulders! Someone help dad, hes about to be murdered!

My poor father is gathering his thoughts while stalling by pretending to stutter some more. Mother raises her hand to slap him silly when he finally gets out a coherent sentence:

"Our boy is a genius who will even surpass Elder Brother, he is going to train with 3 of his siblings after he evolves next year, pleasedonthurtmedeariloveyou!"

After hearing this my mother goes "Huh?" and i let out the closest thing to a surprised gasp as i can, still nothing more than a yelp. 

My father tries to smile weakly and moves in with open arms to hug mother, but she is having none of it and punches him square in the gut sending him flying. Before he can even land mommy sets me down on the floor and smiles calmly saying 

"Vedova baby, just stay put. You mommy has to talk to daddy about something right now, i will be back for you in a minute" She motions to a guard who is trembling in his boots to come over

Run you fool! Get away while you still can! NO! What are you doing? Ahhhhh...its too late

"You, take my son to the other room. If i don't find you and him both there when i return you will wish you were dead, do you understand me?" The way she still has a smile on her face and says it in such a sweet voice makes it 10 times scarier than what it would be normally.

The man quickly picks me up off the floor as gently as possible and carries me out of the room, i try to persuade him to help my father in the process

'Hey, you! Call the army, get the air force, my dad is about to get killed! I need help, where is your commanding officer?! You idiot, i will have you demoted so fast you will be mopping the town square in the rain! Do you understand me?! HEY!'

My attempts are futile and my urgent sounding yelps only drive him further into his panic, now almost running out of the room. 

The last i saw of the room was my father on his knees with his hands in a pleading position, i can see the despair in his shiny red eyes. I can make out the sound of my mother cracking her knuckles as she faces my father, i shudder about what is to come.

----------------------

For over 30 minutes there was the sound of someone getting beaten over and over again. My soldier was sitting across from me the entire time, visibly cringing every time the sound of a new punch rang out. I feared the poor man would release his bowels in the royal furniture.

Every time a meaty thud rang out there was an equally loud whimper, followed by a set of rapidly spoken words. Even with my amplified hearing i could not make out what was said, i am not sure if i wanted to. 

My poor old man, he was a good father while he was alive, this will be the first funeral i will go to since my first fathers dead when i was 20. Rest in piece, both of you.

However my chain of thought is cut short by the door slowly creaking open, the solider jolts up and deeply bows at a 90° angle and gives his greetings.

In my mothers small right hand is the collar of the seemingly wound less figure of my father. I am afraid he is no more than a husk at this point, even though his physically amplified body suffered no physical abuse, there will surely be mental scarring.

Despite the full grown king and Dragon Council member dangling lifelessly at her side, her face is that of love and pride as she dismisses the man clad in black armor.

He runs out of the room, i assume he will be making a visit to a tavern today. 

With her free hand, she softly picks me up to her face and rubs my cheeks with her own, speaking in a loving and soothing voice not matching the devil i just saw a half an hour ago.

"I knew you were mommy's little genius, you are so lucky you take after your mother! Who's a good boy? Who's going to be stronger than all of the dragons when he's older?"

She pauses for a little bit at the end of the question and without even sparing a thought to the meaning behind her words, i put on my best impression of a happy cat and purr with all of my might, yelping enthusiastically and wagging my tail. 

"That's right! You are~, no prophecy is going to hold you down!" 

Followed by that was a long series of coddling and petting me, she doesn't say anything else about the details she received when she inter- *cough* talked to my father about what happened at the meeting. 

Something about me being super strong and a prophecy, this is much too confusing. Father even said something about 3 of my siblings training with me when i evolve...i definitely do not want to be stuck with some random old ass lizards that i don't even know. 

This is too much to handle right now, i will try to pry information out of father with my charm when he ressure- wakes up later. 

------------------------------

I don't get anything out of him in the year and 6 months that follow his return from the council, the only minor detail of information i get is that it will all happen after i go into my coma later tonight. 

Recently i have become hungrier and sometimes my entire body itches like crazy, mother said something along the lines of this being a side affect to the massive growth that will take place soon. 

These side effects are kind of worrying in all honesty, how violent is this thing that it shows side effects before starting? I am hoping that it will be a peaceful slumber, i just want to close my eyes and wake up 3 months later without a hitch. 

But the massive amounts of meat being transported to my resting area underground make me think that i wont be as calm looking as sleeping beauty...i mean 30 raan should be enough, right? These things are bigger than cows and i still need other food along with it. 

I know i am going from a house cat to a horse, but seriously this has to be too much. 

And why am i being sealed underground? Not only am i going to be 200 feet below the castle, but my father is going to put magical seals on the walls and door as well, even with the seals there are going to be rotations of 3 groups of 10 powerful human mages keeping watch outside my door.

What the fuck is going to happen to me? I can only get more and more nervous as the time grows nearer, even my parents look like they are nervous and are petting me extra gently and comforting right now. 

I am not even being carried me on her shoulders right now, im in a cradle in her arms as we make our way down through the tunnels and stairs. 

After walking through the grey corridors and doors, we finally reach a pitch black iron door with dragon engravings carved onto it.

This thing looks scary as hell, there are a series of runes above the doorframe as well that give a simple warning saying "Prodah: praan Dovah" which means Warning: Sleeping Dragon

Why would you need a warning for a sleeping dragon? Im going to cry.

When the door opens and we enter i whimper at the coldness of the room before me. 

Stacked on top of each other like cards are tens of animal carcasses which look to be covered in frost, near the back of the black and depressing cold meat locker is an opening with some thick cloth lain down, i am assuming that this will be my bed. 

All over the dark walls are hundreds of engravings, seemingly telling a tale of the life of a dragon. This carved portrait is so long and detailed with its pictures that only a small part of the ceiling is untouched, the image before the end is one of two fully grown dragons looking at each other with a tiny, newborn winged reptile in between.

This must be the life of my father, he certainly has the time for all of these events to have taken place. 

My trio finally makes it to the combination of various animal furs that will be my bed, all the way back here it is so cold that i can see my tiny breath fogging in the air. These furs had better be warm, i hate the cold with all of my soul now that i am cold blooded. 

They set me down with a kiss on my forehead and give their goodbyes, wrapping me up in the cloth in the process. As they quietly leave and close the doors, i can hear the faint sniffling of my mother followed by the hushed and reassuring voice of my father. 

I had read beforehand that dragons evolving has a slight risk during their first evolution, but only 3 dragons have perished in the 15000 years that they have existed. Not really much of a concern to me, but i understand how they feel.

When i was around 13 in my past life, my older sister's firstborn daughter had died of SIDs, it was a excruciatingly painful experience and i had not even been one of the parents, i will remember this concern they have shown for me. 

There is a faint blue glow coming from the door now, and i can feel myself getting more and more tired as the seconds go by. 

The last sound i hear as my eyes finally close is that of my heartbeat getting slower and slower.

----------------------------------------

The moment my consciousness fades away in the black room, it reappears in a familiar white abyss with an equally familiar young man standing before me. 

Now in my old human form, i lose my balance on my two legs and fall over, but before i hit the ground a couple floofy pillows appear where i would have hit the ground. 

Now chuckling at my disposition, the man i know to be God speaks up

"I see that you have gotten used to your Dragon body, how is it so far?"

I dont have to think about it at all before answering 

"I absolutely love it, i could not ask for a better species to be. This world is interesting as well, i cannot express how grateful i am for the gift you have given me." With this i give a lower my head and close my eyes to amplify the feeling of gratitude i am trying to get across. 

"Oh? But you do not even know of the extent of my gifts. You form and family status is only a part of what you will receive. Before you ask, no i will not share. You will have to see for yourself when you finish growing"

He briefly sticks out his tongue at me playfully and continues

"I will answer a couple questions you might have, although it depends on what you ask i can provide you with any type of knowledge you desire."

Any questions, huh? Well the first thing that comes to mind would be the events of the latest council that got my father a beating.

"What happened at the council and what did my mother mean by me being the strongest dragon. Also, what is the prophecy?"

Smiling again, he nods his head saying

"One question at a time please~ I will answer them one by one. Starting with the first one, it is simple. A prophecy has been activated and you along with 3 other newborns will be destined to stop what is destined to come. This will be carried out in 20 years time, after your third evolution. Before i answer the second question, anything you want to say?"

I give him a nod in the negative, and he continues

"With the power i have given you, you will be the strongest dragon, there's nothing else to it than that. I will not tell you the power you will get, as it is related to one of my gifts. And the third question is the most important part, make sure you pay extra attention to this. There is an enemy that will come from another world, it is known to your world as the Lot Dinok, or Great Death. This enemy is a world devourer that has been annoying for as long as i can remember. His main body will be coming to your world personally because of the grudge he has with me. This will be the only chance i have had to destroy him completely in all of my years repelling him, one of the reasons i had you rebirth in this world was because of it. If you fail that the world will be destroyed and i will be pretty bummed...thats it. Any questions?"

Hmm...the way he said something is bugging me.

"What do you mean by the grudge he has with you when it comes to this world?"

That must have been a good thing to ask because he starts to laugh again, although not in a rude way as if making fun of me.

"Good, good. I wanted you to catch that part, are you ready for a little surprise? I am Pahborma, he was my original form. After using the amount of power i did to destroy a huge chunk of him, i transcended mortal planes and entered the realm of the Gods! Isn't that impressive? I sure am cool, right?"

Waitwaitwaitwait wait. Did he say 'Gods' as in, more than one? 

"Hold up, if you became a God and not THE God, then how many Gods are there?"

He puts his hand on his chin and looks upwards, seemingly thinking about something.

"Hmmmm...around 3256. That was the last number i remember, but that was eons ago. I am the only god in this specific universe though, each of us are given our own after all. Together, all of these universes make up the multiverse. There are even a couple VIP worlds where us Gods go for a little vacation now and again, its pretty cool. But this is not something i should be telling you about, at least not yet~"

My head hurts now, and why did he say not yet? Urgh, fuck it im done with any type form of trying to understand how these things work. I need to think of how to kill this death bullshit right now, maybe later i can try to get what he just said.

Seeing my troubles, God simply says 

"Dont worry, by the time you fully mature you will be a lot stronger than i was when i tried to kill The Great Death, you will just have to put some effort into it. Don't tell the other dragons though, they might try to kill you for disrespecting me, teehee, my children really are loving <3"

Well, that that helps i guess. Now i can look forward to having this power hes talking about, one more thing though, i want to know how strong these other 3 will be

"Hey, wh-"

Before i can finish the sentence God intterupts me with that superfast voice of his and says

"Well, if thats all i really have to go. Ill see you next evolution, have fun!"

OH GOD DAMN IT DONT YOU DARE DO THIS TO ME AGAIN

Before i can voice my opinion, the image of God heavily laughing fades away and my vision goes dark

-------------------------------------------

'That mother fucker, i let him do it to me again! Whats the old saying?'

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. 

 Yeah, that one. For fucks sake, i should have asked earlier before he had the chance to run away.

Oh well, i have a new body to get used to. With that thought, i slowly open my eyes for the first 3 months. As my eyes adapt to the darkness, the shape of the room i was in becomes clear. At the sight of the hundreds of bones before me, i cant help but shout out

"Holy shit!" Wait, that's my voice? It's deep as hell! I am a black dragon, but damn is that deep, its far deeper than my old one.

As i gaze around at the dried blood and broken bones all over the place, i begin to stand up to see just how big my body got. 

Fully standing, i am pleasantly surprised to see that i am actually larger than what the books said i would be, i am over 3 meters in height and 4 meters long excluding my extremely long and beefy tail. I touch my scales only to find that the fleshy feel to them is now completely gone and replaced by a solid steel sensation. 

My claws and the spikes on my back have hardened as well, and i can tell that they are tens of times sharper and stronger than they were before. I feel around the inside of my mouth with my flexible tongue and find many razor sharp teeth instead of the soft gums that i had before.

I feel around my head with my paws and find two horns sticking out of the top of my head, although small they still sprout up and out enough to begin to curl back towards the back of my head. 

I twist my now elongated neck and see that my small disproportionate wings are now rippling with muscle, i stretch them out and find that they have over a 10m wingspan, i dont know the exact measurement though. 

In order to test out myself further, i smash my tail against the floor with maybe half of my strength. Even with just 50% i make a large indentation and cracks form all around it. Impressive. 

Overjoyed at the new size, strength and appearance of my new form, i take a deep breath and release a bone chilling, savage roar

[size=small. The roar is followed by a large gust of wind that violently picks up the bones in front of me and smashes them up against the opposite wall hard enough to cause them to crack. [/size]

That wasn't supposed to happen, was it? I have not read anything about electric dragons being able to do that...roars causing gusts of wind is an air dragon thing...

Making sure i am not hallucinating, i roar again only to get the same result. 

Excitedly, i do what a magical book told me do in order to form magic. Focusing on the center of my body, i concentrate heavily and i feel something warm gathering. 

Not warm in a pleasant way, but more hot and painful like being scalded by boiling water. Shocked and in pain from the sudden heat, i shout out and try to heave up whatever is inside of me. 

When i push to expel the heat and roar, the heat travels up my throat to my mouth, but instead of being painful this time it feels pleasant and soothing.

Also different from the inital searing heat, this gentle warmth goes continues smoothly out of my body and exits in the form of fire, searing the cloth that i was put to sleep in.

The fire grows to be 10 meters long and continues flowing for 5 seconds before the energy gathered in my stomach runs out. 

Utterly surprised at the sight of a fire dragon spell; Fire Breath, i scream out in the form of a roar and scatter the now burning animal furs to the back of the room.

Is this the 'gift' that God was talking about? If i can use fire and air, then i should be able to use water and electricity right? 

This is going to be a better life than i initially thought, i was content with just one element but four? More than thrilled, i test out my powers over and over again until i get tired a little bit later. This is too good, i cannot begin to fathom how amazing this will be. 

For now, i will wait for someone to get me. Those human guards should have sent word about my waking up to my parents, they should be here very soon. I can't wait to tell them about my new power.

Too giddy to sleep and too tired to have some fun, i lay down patiently in front of the door.
