When Dragons Leave Their Mark
The golden light faded.
The blessing settled.
And Keith finally exhaled.
"…That should do it," he muttered.
Then he looked up.
And froze.
"…Oh."
The Changes Become Obvious
At first, it was subtle.
Posture.
Presence.
The weight of magic in the air.
Then it wasn't subtle at all.
Daphne Greengrass
Daphne's blonde hair now shimmered with gemstone brilliance, her posture instinctively refined—like nobility carved from crystal.
Luviagelita Edelfelt's elegance, unmistakable.
She blinked, startled.
"Keith… why does the room feel… clearer?"
Keith sighed softly.
"Noble Gem Dragon Bloodline," he said. "Stabilized Aurora-level magic."
Daphne stared at her hands.
"…I feel rich," she said seriously.
Cassandra snorted.
Astoria smirked.
Astoria Greengrass
Astoria's presence changed next.
Her shadow deepened—not dark, but ancient.
Her hair darkened, eyes glowing faintly with arcane authority. She looked like a queen who ruled forgotten covens.
Morgan le Fay—reborn.
Astoria tilted her head.
"…I feel like I could bully Merlin."
Keith rubbed his temple.
"Ancient Witch Dragon Bloodline. Elite Aurora."
Rias laughed.
Scathach looked impressed.
Amelia Bones
Amelia staggered slightly.
Her body reconstructed—subtly but decisively.
Her sharp gaze became commanding, her presence disciplined and imposing. Military nobility radiated from her.
Olivier Mira Armstrong—without question.
She touched her face.
"…Why do I feel twenty-one?"
Keith answered calmly.
"Iron Dominion Dragon Bloodline. Elite Aurora."
Amelia looked down at herself.
"…I could conquer a ministry."
Edgar Bones would have been proud. And terrified.
Serafina Zabini
Serafina gasped softly.
Her beauty refined—not youthful, but luxurious. Mature elegance, alluring without effort.
Decora's refined grace manifested fully.
She steadied herself.
"…I feel dangerous."
Keith nodded.
"Venom Lotus Dragon Bloodline. Elite Aurora."
Nagini smiled knowingly.
Nagini
Nagini didn't gasp.
She simply straightened.
The air bent.
Regal, overwhelming beauty unfolded—Boa Hancock incarnate. Ancient, primordial power coiled calmly beneath her skin.
Keith swallowed.
"…Primordial Serpent Dragon Bloodline."
Nagini glanced at her reflection.
"…I feel complete."
Mage-tier magic thrummed quietly around her.
Bellatrix laughed softly.
"Of course you do."
Bellatrix Lestrange
Bellatrix's transformation was dramatic.
Cold surged through the hall—not painful, but absolute.
Her presence sharpened into disciplined dominance. Ice-general authority radiated outward.
Esdeath—perfectly embodied.
She smirked.
"…I like this."
Keith nodded.
"Ice Tyrant Dragon Bloodline. Near Mage."
Bellatrix's smile widened.
Nymphadora Tonks
Tonks shimmered.
Her colors stabilized into radiant harmony. Magic hummed like music around her.
Seraphine's modern, melodic aura wrapped around her.
Tonks spun once.
"I sound better," she said cheerfully.
Keith smiled faintly.
"Resonance Dragon Bloodline. Peak Aurora."
Cassandra Vole
Cassandra's aura darkened—nobly.
Blackened flame flickered briefly behind her eyes. A knight's presence, holy and profaned.
Jeanne d'Arc Alter's quiet intensity.
"…I feel stronger," she said simply.
Keith nodded.
"Black Flame Dragon Bloodline. Aurora."
Susan Bones
Susan glowed.
Literally.
Golden authority settled around her, calm and commanding.
Ruler Artoria Pendragon stood where Susan Bones had been.
She blinked.
"…Do I look like a queen?"
"Yes," several voices answered instantly.
Keith added, "Holy Dragon King Bloodline. Elite Aurora."
Susan smiled brightly.
"Grandpa's going to faint."
Narcissa Black
Narcissa's transformation was refined—dangerous intelligence wrapped in elegance.
Irina Jelavić's lethal charm manifested effortlessly.
She smoothed her hair.
"…I feel sharper."
Keith nodded.
"Shadow Rose Dragon Bloodline. Mage-tier."
Narcissa smiled slowly.
"…Lucius never stood a chance."
Keith's Verdict
Keith surveyed the room.
Powerful women.
Ancient bloodlines.
Dragon echoes everywhere.
He sighed deeply.
"…I really need to stop handing out blessings without a checklist."
Laughter filled the hall.
Rias leaned against him.
"You changed their fate."
Luna smiled dreamily.
"You gave them eternity."
Keith looked at them all—alive, empowered, chosen.
And nodded once.
Worth it.
