A Man Like None Other

“Take me inside the cave. I have something to ask you.” Jared had the water dragon guide him into the cave. Wanting to keep his identity discreet, Jared preferred limiting the number of individuals who knew about him.

Thus, he chose to converse with the water dragon in its secluded cave.

The water dragon promptly led Jared inside. Upon reaching the cave’s end, Jared noticed another pit leading underground. The water dragon’s habitat was concealed beneath the earth, sealed off by the dragon. Consequently, Jared and the others reached the cave’s end shortly after entering.

“What are you?” the water dragon asked.

“You don’t need to know that. Answer my question truthfully. If I’m satisfied with your answer, I can give you some pointers to help you become a true dragon,” Jared stated with a contemplative expression.

The water dragon courteously responded, “Please ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.” “How did you become like this? Did you absorb celestial energy to transform into a water dragon?” Jared inquired.

“Yes, I was a crimson snake in the past and accidentally stumbled upon a giant rock imbued with celestial energy. Consequently, I began to cultivate, absorbing the energy. Despite many years passing, I am still one step away from ascension, unable to find a way to become a true dragon,” the water dragon truthfully replied.
