For two days in a row now, I've been the person with the most to say at our morning meetings.

Usually, I just nod along and keep my mouth shut. My family being so capable and all. It's definitely nothing to do with the fact that it's still early and I'm still tired. Then again, I've never been a morning person.

That's probably why I'm frustrated over the fact that I have to participate more than I usually would. Seriously, it's more like I'm updating them rather than it being the other way around. Especially when nothing much has changed since yesterday. The only difference to the meeting other than my run down on You is that Randy the Ringmaster has replaced Mystique and Coral in the additional spot.

The Headmaster and her assistant gave me some wonderful news yesterday regarding our Space Mage programme and I'm hoping that in a few months, we'll have a small battalion of them trained up. Not that I put the most confidence in humans, but my gut tells me I'm going to need them at some point in the future.

Marie is fantastic, but it's been proven that she isn't strong enough to handle certain situations on her own. She is only human after all.

Hana and Mira informed me that Kolena was an excellent addition to the reformation team. With her sight, the Goddess is able to see the best way to rid people of their corruption. I knew she'd do well in that department and hopefully, You will also perform as capably in the dungeon.

I can't see her not doing well though. She's a bloody dungeon subsystem - or at least that's what my notifications tell me, so she better do a good job. Otherwise, I'll have to find someone else to replace her.

When the time for Randy to speak finally arrives, the Ringmaster stands up and bows. His voice is then broadcast around the table through the connection we share over my dungeon. Seeing as how he doesn't possess a pair of lips, that's the way he always communicates.

"The first Rebellion Dragon is ready to evolve." Oh My Self! His voice is like music to my ears and I jump up from my seat with a loud "Yes!"

Mayor Kana is startled back into consciousness as it would seem she was falling asleep. I'd have something to say about that if I wasn't so excited by Randy's news. Way to go, Becca.

"Where is she?" I ask, ready to end the meeting there and then, before checking her location myself.

"At the Daycare. She has no more training scheduled until after her evolution. Instead the triplets are booked in for her spot today."

Even better. Randy's killing the leveling game and I didn't even notice. I knew he was doing a good job, but he's actually on the ball. Today might turn out to be quite a good day after all.

With the meeting finished - not just because I wanted it to be, but because Randy had been the last speaker and had said all he had to say, Becca's evolution was the task one on my list.

I couldn't wait. The elven delegate Edwan, on the other hand, could. So too could my usual job making wall improvements and I was at the Dragon Daycare faster than Amber gets to Ali's.

Chanting her name in my head as I enter the building, the sound of drums can be heard the moment I step inside. Becca had a thing for that drum kit and even though I praised her growing skill on my last visit, she still wasn't impressed by my words.

I don't think it's her fault though. It has to be something to do with the fact that she was summoned directly as a Rebellion Dragon. The triplets are nowhere near as snappy or prone to the same outbursts that plague Becca.

Following the beat of the drum, I find my target in the lounge. Instead of unintentionally making Becca cause a scene by saying the wrong thing, the only word I speak is her name, "Becca?"

The drumming stops as her hand stills in the air. It looks as though she's slightly shaking as a soft glow enveloping her body leaves small after images. I'm then subjected to the world's harshest glare as Becca stands up and turns to face me.

This is hard.

I take a deep breath to stop myself from overreacting and I watch her do the same. It must be tough being forced to be that way. What's my excuse?

"Are you ready?" I ask full of anticipation only for it to be burst by an eye roll.

Really hard.

"I'll take that as a yes then. Here we go." I activate her evolution and watch as she glows brightly, growing an extra foot in the process. Once the light fades, the first change that captures my attention is her eyes. Ruby red and pure gorgeous. Silk-like hair reaches the bottom of her back and is almost as black as Barry used to be.

Rebecca the Rebellion Dragon has evolved into The Oncoming Storm:

Hell hath no fury like a dragon scorned

Unpredictable, uncontrollable and a force all on her own, there will never be another like Rebecca as she is unique to herself.

At any time she may appear, causing calamity and destruction to rest in her wake. Fear the power of nature as its unstoppable rage decimating everything in its path.

"That doesn't sound like it's gotten any better at all. What the hell was that Sis?" The culprit in the corner responsible for the flavour text must have eaten a whole bag of onions recently because I could cry at reading that one.

"I thought that's what you wanted? Cool descriptions and clever wording." I... might have said something along those lines a long time ago, but things have changed then.

"What happened to the peaceful thing they had going?" As I'm talking about her, Becca is checking herself out. She looks damn good and is even slightly taller than myself.

"She still has the effect," Sis answer as though I should already have known.

"So what's with the calamity, destruction and unstoppable rage then?" I can barely contain myself and it isn't even Becca who's vexing me out.

"I suppose it doesn't matter anyway," I sigh before returning my attention to The Oncoming Storm.

"Are you ok, Becca?" The Dragon in question is gazing at her hands. She looks... happy. As she lifts her head, the first smile I've ever seen Becca show spreads across her face. I want to smile myself, but I'm still a little nervous.

My heart jumps as The Oncoming Storm rushes straight towards me. Before I can react, the ruby-eyed monster picks me up and squeezes tightly. For a moment, I begin to panic. I wasn't sure whether Becca was trying to crush me in a death grip or not until I settled into her arms.

"That's so nice," I muffle between her bossom and she releases me.

"I've been wanting to do that for so long," she begins to sob.

"Don't start crying, you'll get me going," I smile as Sis chirps in behind me.

"See, I told you it would be fine." She places a hand on my shoulder and smiles.

"You said nothing of the sort. In fact, if you knew what was going to happen, why didn't you tell me beforehand?" I still can't get over Sis. She's a right pain in my ass sometimes. Then again, she wouldn't be who she is if she wasn't like that.

As I look at the freshly-upgraded Oncoming Storm, it breaks my heart that I have to go and deal with a bunch of elves instead of spending time with her. Even though we've barely spoken - and even when we did it never went well, I feel a strong connection with Becca. The same as the triplets.

"So, listen. I've got to go deal with the elves that arrived yesterday, but after that I think it's time that me and you got to know each other better." Still wrapped in Becca's arms, I had to stop from chuckling as the image of Me and You entered my mind.

"I would like that very much, Master."

She likes it! Yes. Now I can't wait and it won't even be that long. I'll just speedily send the elves on their way with my promise of visiting soon. They said a month, but I'm still not sure where they live. Even with my acquisitions yesterday, I went as far west as I could before running out of points and saw no elves.

I'll have to get some solid directions when I'm kicking them out. Then, I can get back and talk to Becca.

Here we go.

Edwan and his elves are no longer at the Privacy Palace and have moved on to Ali's. Even though the time is between breakfast and lunch, The Gourmet caters for people regardless.

The elves are all seated and are enjoying our local cuisine as I arrive. Amber is still here too, exuding peace over the entire establishment. You couldn't be annoyed if you wanted to be.

Before I'm able to talk to the elf in charge, Edwan, Aura enters Ali's and orders a snack box from the counter.

Edwan is shocked by the arrival of yet another elf, which is unexpected as he's already met with Eduine, and begins whispering with his men. It would have been within the norm to say they're just taken in by her beauty, only that's not what was happening. Edwan was whispering something in elvish that - oddly enough, I happened to understand.

Strange.

It might have something to do with the fact that I've absorbed an elf or two in my time that's helping me understand their language, but I can't comprehend everything they're saying. Maybe that's because I don't have their species unlocked in my summon section? I still need to absorb one more elf for that to happen. The requirements for unlocking races and their classes are much different from that of monsters and beasts.

Either way, that's not what's important. What is important, is what I just overheard.

Princess Aura?

What the fuck?

I won't say anything about it though, or at least I'll try not to. I'm sure she had reasons for not mentioning the fact that she herself is royalty. Then again, I can't believe I have an elven princess and human Categoriser running the city's support groups. That is random as hell.

"Ahem," I cough into my hand, stealing Edwan's attention away from his men and the missing princess. "Edwan, I think that I'll be able to meet your King after all."

Eduine smiles at the unexpected turn of events. It was only yesterday I had turned him down after all.

"Are we all going?" Blondie asks from behind me, causing me to jump. She's not alone either as Violet and Bear are accompanying the little ninja making me wonder why Amber is the only one still working. Then again if Blondie comes, I have no doubt that she'll end up working overtime along with her sister.

"Sure," I answer after composing myself. "I'm pretty confident that the elven lands will have some tasty food too for Amber to try out also." This catches the attention of the hungry triplet at the table. A good meal being the sole reason she lives her life day in day out.

"Can we bring Bear?" I knew that was coming and quickly asked Eduine, who nodded politely in response. "We revere most animals in the forest. Especially the mighty bear," he then tells the triplet.

The mention of her partner's name and species, not to mention the whole revering part, had the third triplet hooked. With that in mind, I made sure to get sound directions from Edwan before leaving him in the company of the peaceful Rebellion Dragons.

I was also looking forward to reaching the elven capital and enjoying some time off whilst there.

I damn well need it.
