I am sure you've all seen images of dragons before. And as Chinese members of the international community, the critical question that we have with regard to dragons was, which version is the correct version?
The European version where dragons are basically oversized lizards with wings? Or the Chinese version where dragons are oversized snakes which can somehow fly without wings?
The answer is, surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, both.
At least in terms of sea dragons.
The one that appeared was a freakishly large serpent with a pair of wicked looking horns protruding from its wicked looking head where a wicked looking smile was plastered all over its face.
As soon as it cleared the chasm, it unfurled its massive wings, or rather, fins.
I stared at it, completely astounded by its horrific majesty. I had seen large serpent-like creatures, of course. Killed them, in fact, just very recently. The Wyrm King and Queen were no smaller in size compared to the seadragon.
The two worms were angry, furious and overwhelmingly powerful. They both gave out a raw and savage aura that could strike fear in all of their enemies.
But when compared to the sea dragon, they were like little bullies to a seasoned psychopath.
The sheer majesty and evil confidence that emanated from the dragon was utterly crushing, and bone chilling.

Yes.
The sea dragon was an intelligent life form.
"Who dares disturb my slumber?" The sea dragon rumbled.
I kid you not.
As cliche as it sounded, it was exactly what the dragon said.
It said those words in its ancient language, of course.
But I had devoured countless Horse Gavarel Biomechs, and within their software was a complete translation of the ancient undersea dragon language, so I knew exactly what the dragon was saying.
It truly was sleeping, and its hyper sensitive instincts towards danger woke it up when I ventured close to it.
However, because I was in stealth, and because the Horse Gavarel Leader was nearby, the seadragon instantly assumed that it was awakened by the horsey.
It floated above the chasm in darkness, a horrifying image of death incarnate. Without bothering to wait for an answer to its question, it fired a massive beam of dragon breath at the Horse Gavarel Leader!
As it did so, I quickly made my move and leapt ahead to attach myself to its hyper thick scales. Because it was so large, I was like a fat little fly perching on a big fat dude's back.
It totally had no idea I was there.
Of course, I am sure its instincts were blaring like never before, but with the horsey to distract it, I was able to hide very successfully.
GRAAAAHHHHH!!!
The seadragon roared furiously and surged downwards to charge at the Horse Gavarel Leader.
Its over two hundred meter long form shot downwards like an arrow after being propelled by a strangely effective swing of its massive fins.
The Horse Gavarel Leader easily darted away and maintained its distance. Although it was no less fearsome at a hundred meters in size, the horsey seemed reluctant to engage the dragon in battle.
I was just wondering why it was so when they conveniently gave me the answer.
"Lord Blue Dragon. This is my final offer. Half of the spoils that my Horse Gavarel Clan will gain from the battle. My million warriors will pillage and loot from a thousand civilisations, and you will get half of it, if only you join me, as my equal, in this war." The Horse Gavarel Leader's voice rang out calmly.
At his words, the Ancestor gave an ugly grimace.
The situation was much, much, much more critical than he had initially estimated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Half your spoils? You make it sound so generous. But without me, you will have no way of dealing with my damned Silver Cousin. And without me, you are doomed to lose your war. This is my final offer, you pathetic seahorse. I will take nine parts out of ten. Take it or leave it." The Blue Dragon rumbled.
It was bad.
The powerful leader of the Horse Gavarels was actually in the process of negotiating with the Blue Dragon. They were potential allies!
I needed no prompting to realize that I had to break this deal up at all costs.
My mind raced as I searched for a plan to do exactly that.
"I heard that there is an alien core just like mine somewhere in the human country nearest to us." The horsey said.
"Damn it! He's trying to use me as a bargaining chip to gain the cooperation of a real dragon? What an asshole!!" I thought incredulously in my mind.
"Another alien core?" The Blue Dragon rumbled in what sounded like a very intrigued dragon voice.
"Indeed. But it is a huge country, and looking for such a small item would be difficult. I am willing to utilize all of my warriors to search for that core, and give it to you when I find it. The core will be above the fifty percent spoils that we will split." The horsey said enticingly.
"I have to make a move soon and break up this deal before they agree." I realized. And within seconds, an insidious plan formed in my mind.
"I need to do something to piss the dragon off, and make it seem like it was the horsey who did it. Let me… turn into a Horse Gavarel and… attack the dragon with "Dragon Tranquilizers"! Hahahaha!"
I wasted no time executing my "epic plan" and I immediately transformed into an large, white mecha grade Horse Gavarel. Both pairs of my arms gripped massive hollow spears which functioned like injections and I stabbed them both into the Blue Dragon's body.
"My Lord, the Dragon Tranquilizers are successfully administered!" I shouted fluently in Horse Gavarel even as the Blue Dragon roared in pain!
