The Dragon Transformation (part 2)
Here's the second part of the story. This will explain more about the predicament Joe has gotten himself into. Anyway, enjoy the story!
As Joe, now turned into a dragon, soared to the Grand Canyon, he ended up getting hungry. He thought of getting a pick up, but he remembered that he wouldn't even fit into the small doors. Also, the people would fear him and try to kill him. So, he just caught a wild sheep and cooked it with his breath. It was surprisingly good to him. And, after hours of travel, he finally made it to the lair of the dragon that he had encountered before.
"Why did you do this to me? I thought you were a good dragon!" Joe exclaimed, his voice now deeper from the transformation.
"I did not cause this. The stone you collected from me was a Dream Stone. The only reason that you are now one of my kind is because you secretly desired to become a dragon. So, the stone granted your wish," the dragon responded to Joe's angry proclamation.
"My... own wish? I wished to turn into this, and it caused that wish to become true? But, I wanted to become a famous photographer. I need you to explain this to me more," Joe said, now confused about what happened.
"Your original wish was what you just stated. But, when you saw me, your wish secretly changed to becoming a dragon. Sometimes, a wish changes, even if the owner of the wish doesn't quite know. But, the stone sensed that deep in your heart your true desire was to join the race of the dragon," the dragon clarified, "so, that wish is now alive."
"OK. This is starting to make sense to me now. When I saw you, I did want to live the life of your rare species. But, I almost forgot about our encounter, except for the stone. It reminded me of our encounter, and that desire was rekindled. So, the stone granted my new wish because I secretly desired that wish," Joe said, " And, now that I think about it, on the way here I felt pretty happy despite being a dragon. Maybe it was because I really liked being a dragon all along."
"Yes. Now, you may go and enjoy your new life," the dragon told him.
"OK. Oh, and thank you for saving me when I slipped on that ice cube and fell into the canyon," Joe said. He was about to leave, when the dragon stopped him.
"Wait! I almost forgot to mention this. When you want to return to a human form, just believe that you are your human self, and you shall return to a human state. It is the same for returning to dragon form," the dragon told him.
"Thanks for the info. I'm off now. See ya again sometime!" Joe said happily as he took off to find a new home, because his old one was kind of destroyed. He ended up finding a neat cave to live in as a dragon, and he built a new home nearby for his human form that was a lot fancier than his old home. Then, he turned into his human form, and slept in his brand new mansion. After that, he enjoyed his new life as a dragon, and still enjoyed his human life as well.
THE END.
