SAMAEL
Slamming into the ground again as Mulan sweeps my legs off the ground I groan in discomfort.
"Ughh" that was painful" I groan as I slap the staff pointed at my face and stand to my feet.
"Well you heard your own well today. You have greatly improved. Soon you will be whooping my ass. A stone heading from my gead behind grabs my attention and I catch it midair.
"Did you really think you can catch me off guard Arj?" I ask and he smiles as he appears in front of me.
"Your mastery of the sixth sense is outstanding. You have transcended levels I could have only imagined." He praises and I roll my eyes
"Don't let that get to your head, you still have a lot of work to do!" Hercules yells and I sigh. Same prickly bastard as always.
"Hercules, are you jealous it took him just 3 months to master what it took you your whole life to gain?" Sun Wukong (popularly known as the monkey king mocks and Hercules turns red in rage.
"Hey you! He only achieved that because I taught him!" He yells and i laugh at their playful exchange.
4 months have passed quickly, and I have spent it training my ass out. I trained with my tutors till late in the evening everyday, spend half of my evening time reading in the library till late in the night, and trained personally till close to dawn.
Waking up 4 hours before my first class I used my time to finish up my plethora of daily tasks and then another day begins. I call on my School tabs and it appears. I enter stats and view it

My growth has been exponential and I know it can still grow. The only problem is I have reached a bootleneck in my merge. Since my first Pure Maagi class when I got here I was made to know that the only way I can reach my power and start my growth is by merging my pure Maagi and elemental Maagi into one, and Awakening my dragon spirit.
Ever since then I have been working on merging them and recently I felt them blend together and since then I have been stuck. I was still lost in thought when a voice I didn't believe I would hear again speaks.
"Leave my student! We have special business" says the most soothing tiny voice, that still held so much authority. Everyone flinches at her presence and they all disappear. I smile as she lands before me.
"About time you showed your face, Isis" i sigh and she smiles. She is as beautiful as a woman can get in a tight-fitting sheath dress, Isis is a figure of both majesty and vulnerability. On her head, she wore the throne hieroglyph, a symbol of her name and royal power. Behind her is expansive, multi-colored wings of a kite hawk. Her golden eyes filled with a compassionate and knowing depth, and she is revered as the "Great Magic" for her formidable powers as a sorceress and healer.
"Had issues to deal with! Now what is this I'm hearing about a bottleneck" she asks and I sigh
"You heard right? Maagi merge has reached a stop. I can't move forward no matter what or how I try." I sigh dejected and she walks up to me.
"Show me!" She says and we both take a meditative pose. I close my eyes and let my mind connect with the universe around me. I could feel the maagi flowing in the air, in the earth beneath me, in the water all around me, in the fire. Isis electric blue goddess maagi stood out in the midst of all the other multicolored maagi flowing around me.
I draw my focus to the chaos happening inside me. I now recognise rhe distinct colour of my different maagi. The elemental one had a purplish-brown-gray tints, while the pure one had a beautiful electric blue color. I close my eyes and focus more on the point of merge and I could see the colors of the two Maagi fading into a neutral unrecognisable color.
"Oh! This is not a bottle neck, you are at a breakthrough, your maagi is more conscious of the ddanage such will cause so your mind is blocking it." Isis mutters and snaps her fingers.
"What happened?" I ask
"I just transported us to an empty planet. You can let go!" She replies and I am confused
"How do I let go?" I ask
"Figure it out!" She says and I sigh. Typical Isis forcing me to do all things myself
I maintain the meditative state and ho back to that space where the merge is happening. I blend the two Maagi and the force stoping me pushes harder. Something doesn't want me to do his and sheer force won't win this war. I'm even losing it. I cant do this Hercules way
When we can't win a war we let our mind win it for us. Some wars are won by calm.
Arjuna's words from one of our arduous training sessions drops in my heart and I don't try to push the maagi together again but just left it. I fall into a deeper meditative state and let my mind take over. Now I can no longer feel my limbs or body.
I float in a space filled with all forms of Maagi and as I mentally touch it the maagi pulls me in totally. I'm drawn into a spiral of maagi and like that I feel my burden lifted. The pressure placed on me lifts and I let my maagi be released and become one with the rest of the maagi here.
Outside at my body my whole being begins to disintegrate. Isis screams for me but I couldn't hear her. I was lost in the maagi of the universe. The life essence of all things is taking me and I give in willingly. Isis tries to hold my molecules together but she fails woefully at it and it disperse into the universe.
Back in my mind I experience the most beautiful thing I have ever ever. My maagi merged into the ones in the universe and s voice speaks in my mind.
"Finally! The time has come! The Awakening has began!" The voice echoes and I recognize it. It was the voice I heard when I woke up the day we left for this mission.
"What does that mean?" I scream and no one replies
"The last dragon is born! What is set in motion has begun! Beware my son, with great power comes very great burden, and you lift the heaviest of them all." The voice as and fades away. Just as I was about to ask again my maagi breaks away from the rest. The two Maagi begns to surround me, and what began as a slight twirl became a massive storm. The storm kicks for a while pulling in as much maagi as they can, and at. Once it all pours into my consciousness heavily. I'm lifted higher as the maagi merged with my whole being and the pain begins.
Outside my mind, my molecules begins to merge back together until my whole body is knit together back at its meditative state. My body lifts off the ground and stretches into its full form. Slowly bright translucent light begins to emit from inside of me.
My muscle stretch, my body grows large, my muscle mass increase as I grow larger. My legs grow longer, my tighs and legs larger and firmer, my toes turn into sharp claws and my fingers elongate into long sharp claws, each one the size of my formern full hand. My body is covered by scales the same translucent colour.
My eyes turn a bright golden color, and stretch into slits each eyeball looking like golden spheres. Two large translucent horn portruded out of my head as my teeth turn into sharp, long fangs.
My back stretches further until two long leathery membrane wings with huge spike at the tips, the same transluscent colour. From afar it looked invisible but when put before the sun it glowed multiple bright colors.
Isis witness the whole transformation with awe and respect.
Inside my mind as the process continues agonizing pain pours through me and I scream but it wasnt physical. My mental capacity was stretching beyong capacity as a torrent of Draconic knowledge was pouring into me at once. The stronger my mental capacity grew the more information poured. I don't know how long it lasted for but the last thing I remember as I pass out is:
The Allies are now our enemies.
