Survival of the Fittest - Zennith vs. Serandite
#15 of Survival of the Fittest
Zennith the dragon vs. Serandite the dragon.
Dragon on dragon action!
Aaaannnnd we're back, hopefully the next rounds will come by rather quickly.
Zennith awoke to a dull throbbing in his head and red light flashing all around him. As his senses came back to him he realized that he was in a room only twice as big as his own body and surrounded by walls of what he could only guess were computer components. The smell of ozone was heavy in the air as the blue and yellow scaled dragon slowly moved towards the only thing that didn't look like computer hardware was a metal shutter that was sealed shut. He started to slide his claws under to open it, only to feel a mild tingle shoot through his body and up into the collar around his neck that caused him to step back.
"Ah, another contestant eager for their run." Zenny suddenly heard all around him, one of the displays in the room lit up and showed the face of a smiling silver dragon. "Welcome to Survival of the Fittest Zenny, my name is Argos and I'm excited to say that your round is going to feature some dragon on dragon action! Provided you can leave the room of course."
"I don't... what?" Zenny asked as he looked around the room in confusion. "What's going on? Where am I?"
"All very good questions." Argos replied. "Hopefully you'll get them answered in time, but for now you should really focus on the present. Right now you are trapped inside one of the supercomputers that this facility houses, you will have thirty seconds in order to escape before you become 'one with the machine' as they say. Once I leave you will have ten seconds to memorize the escape codes before your run begins. Everything else should be pretty self-explanatory, alright? Great, have fun!"
"I want to-" Zenny started to ask before the dragon on the screen suddenly disappeared. He frowned at his host's sudden departure, replaced instead with a ten second timer and a series of instructions. It appeared that there were three rooms between him and his escape, and that each one had a 'code' that had to be done in order to open the next shutter. The first was buttons, the second was levers and switches, and finally the last one was an alphanumeric sequence that he would have to decipher when he got there using the directions that were provided. "Alright then, looks simple enough..."
Zennith looked at the shutter that barred him from access, the last seconds of his prep time counting down as he looked at the steel panel. When the last second ticked away there was a loud buzz and the door suddenly slid open, as well as the screen itself changed once more to a thirty second timer and the codes to unlock all three rooms. He took a few seconds to make sure that he had all the codes right in his mind so he didn't have to come back, then proceeded to move into the crawlspace between the two rooms. It was only a few feet but the walls were pitch black and hard to see, nevertheless he tried to clear the entire distance without crawling on his hands and knees. While he cleared the entire tunnel he felt his wings brush up against the sides of the ceiling and a strange but pleasant electric tingle began to radiate from the area.
When Zenny got into the other room he had a chance to look at the damage in the first code room in the harsh light of the computer monitors. Some of the black ceiling seemed to have rubbed off on his wings, but even as he watched the rubbery substance began to grow down the thin membranes. As it did it seemed to develop electric blue lines that were very reminiscent of circuitry, but despite the strangeness of it he knew he had a job to do.
Zenny turned back his head to the panel that had the buttons on it and saw that they were indented into the panel, so far that he would have to probably put his entire finger into the hole in order to reach it. He also noticed to some dismay that the inside of the tubes seemed to be covered in the same material as the tunnel he had just come out of. But time was ticking and he had to get things done before time ran out, plus he didn't know how complex the next two puzzles would be. He could easily see the buttons that he needed to push down and remembered the order that they needed to be pushed in, but he knew he wasn't going to like what he would have to do to complete it.
"Some pervy game we got here." The dragon muttered to himself as he put his fingers into the holes, one after the other as the buttons lit up under his claws. For the third button he had to stand up on one leg and stuck his toe into the hole, his entire body wobbled slightly as he heard the affirmative beep. With three-fourths of the sequence completed he looked down at the last hole that nested the button he needed, which happened to be right where his crotch was.
At first Zenny thought that he was going to have a hard time rising to the occasion, but when he saw his draconic manhood it was already half-hard. At first he thought that it was from the situation but the more he focused on what caused his cock to throb he realized that it was coming from the electric-blue lined rubber that had enveloped nearly half his wings already. The parts that had been completely coated felt strange, stronger but slightly stiffer. He didn't have time to think about it though, instead he took his erection and pushed it in to complete the sequence.
After half a second the shutter door opened with such abruptness that it caused Zenny to stumble backwards back onto both feet. Even though he had completed the challenge he had not gone unscathed, his toe and his maleness both had a thick stripe of black on it, which immediately began to assimilate the surrounding flesh. With twenty-four seconds left on the clock he decided to try and ignore it and press on, though when the blue-tinged black latex completely coated his member it felt like a vibrator had enveloped it with the pleasurable tingles it sent to the rest of his body. Thankfully he was able to avoid the tunnel walls the second time as he went into the next room.
The room was much like the first, with electrical components and blinking lights that illuminated the area. On the other end of it was the shuttered door and on the wall to the left of that were two fairly large, black holes and a viewscreen with an image of six switches on it. Upon further examination of the set-up he quickly ascertained that the switches were inside the holes and that he had to use the screen to see which switches he actually was about to flip.
"Clever." Zennith said to himself as he slowly put his hands into the larger holes. His hands seemed to disappear into the darkness completely, he didn't know how far back it went and with the rubber that continued to spread across his groin and up his foot. The pleasure that radiated from the affected areas caused his entire body to shake and made it harder for him to hold his arms steady as he continued to push past his elbow towards his biceps.
Finally the dragon saw his clawed hands in the viewscreen towards the switches. He manipulated them as best he could, though with having to see through the screen he found it hard to keep track of where his hands were. Thankfully his memorization of the sequence made it easy to input the code, and after a few seconds all six switches were in line with one another. The second the last toggle was in place he heard the shutter door open, after a deep breath he pulled back his arms and was relieved to see that none of the black material had gotten on his skin.
Zenny looked at the viewscreen one last time to see that he only had about thirteen seconds left to finish the final room before he ducked through the tunnel into the final room.
The last one was a single piece of metal that stuck out of the wall that was level with his head with a series of numbers underneath on a viewscreen. He quickly went up to the wall and looked underneath the cube of metal that had stuck out, seeing a similar hole of blackness like the other two rooms before that. It wasn't hard to figure out that his head was supposed to go there, but doing so gave him a little trepidation. By now the blue-circuit laced rubber had completely covered his wings, feet, legs, and groin. Everywhere the thick material covered him he felt a strange numb buzzing sensation, which caused his cock his throb and increased the urge to stroke himself.
He needed a second to compose his emotions and gave the combination one last look over before he pushed his head through the hole, deciphering the combination on a fly while he positioned himself. It was very difficult not to touch the sides of the contraption as he guided his muzzle up and into the concave. When he was in completely he saw the dials that he was supposed to move were a few inches in front of his snout. There was no way to move them with his face, he needed just a little extra in order to make it.
Zenny took a deep breath and stuck out his tongue, pressing it against the cool metal of the first dial. To his surprise the mechanical know slid easily to the next number, and with a few nudges he got the first number locked into place. As he moved his tongue towards the second number it was too low and he felt it brush against the bottom of the box. Almost immediately the black rubber clung to it and it felt like he had just stuck his tongue on a battery. The pleasurable jolt caused him to jump back slightly and bang the back of his head and neck against the metal. The dragon's entire body seized as he felt the rubber quickly creep over his head and sweep towards his face.
Even though he was running out of time Zenny needed to pull his head out of the hole in order to reorient himself but he found his tongue was stuck against the rubber as it completely crept over his tongue and into his maw. In an effort to dislodge himself he bumped the top of his muzzle on the box and watched as a cascade of thick latex swarmed over his flesh. As it assimilated his nose it became more angular, the rubbery substance formed into a type of mask that continued to grow over him. His eyes began to roll into the back of his head as the pleasure threatened to overwhelm him, the blue circuitry embedded into the rubber began to reprogram his mind. He had to fight it, the dwindling voice in his mind said as he tried to continue to pull his head out, he had to finish the task...
Outside the metal hood Zenny's body shuddered as the rubber on his body began to spread at a much faster rate. The dragon seemed to continue to struggle for a little bit longer before his entire body went limp and hung there while the rest of his blue and yellow flesh was covered in latex. Where the circuitry covered his belly the neon blue turned to a bright yellow, the shiny coating on his body becoming plated and armor-like. When his head slid out of the hole it was completely encased in a robotic mask complete with glowing blue eyes.
As Zennith stood at attention and began to methodically stroke his rubber-covered cock Argos appeared on the screen, stifling the urge to chuckle as he saw the completely robotized dragon masturbate. "Looks like my sensors were right, we have someone who succumbed to the machine, what a shame." He chided. "As much as I would like a nice dragon drone I'm afraid this isn't an elimination round, but since you couldn't complete your challenge we're going to have to impose a bit of a penalty..."
********************************
Serandite awoke with a snort, though even when he opened his eyes he was surrounded by complete darkness. The only thing that he could see was a small square of light that emanated from a device at his clawed feet as he laid there on his side, but when he tried to reach it he found that his hands and arms were stuck against his back. As he tried to get onto his feet he became very aware that his red scales were covered in something that not only bound his arms behind him but also felt like it covered most of his body. When he tried to call out for help his eyes widened as all he could get out were muffled grunts from the hood that covered his muzzle and head. When he finally squirmed his way towards the device on the ground the screen showed the pretentious grin of a silver dragon.
"Ah look, all dressed up and nowhere to go." The silver dragon said. "Welcome to the competition Serandite, my name is Argos and I'll be your host for Survival of the Fittest. You're challenge is relatively simple, use this device to get from one end of the room to the other. If you make it you'll go on unscathed, but if you happen to step into one of the pitfalls then... well, you'll be wearing that little getup a lot longer than just this round. You'll have ten seconds to ready yourself and thirty seconds to complete the task, any questions?"
Serandite let out a small groan of dismay as he tried to make out words to try and ask Argos something, but once more all he could get out was a muffled groan. "I didn't think so." Argos continued. "Oh, and before I go, the screen only shows about a third of the room so you're going to have to move it. Only problem is that it's touch-sensitive and doesn't respond to rubber, but I'm sure you'll figure something out. Good luck!"
The rubber-covered dragon let out a groan as the dragon disappeared, replaced with a clock that ticked down from ten seconds. With his impromptu tutorial over he managed to get to his knees and take a look at himself, the light from the device causing the black rubber bodysuit he wore to gleam. His head was covered with a form-fitting gas mask made of the same material, his eyes covered with clear lenses that allowed him to see out. The only thing that wasn't covered was his member, the black flesh of his head and the silver ring pierced through it clearly seen as he assessed the situation.
Serandite saddled up to the device as best as possible with a plan in mind, waiting for the pre-planning clock to run out before he made a move. When the timer hit zero and his actual challenge began he kicked out to slide the device further. His eyes widened when he kicked it out far harder than he had wanted, a muffled scream came from his mask when he saw it clatter forward until it nearly flew off the edge of one of the pits that Argos had mentioned. As carefully as he could he stretched his legs over the abyss and attempted to slide it back to safety.
Much to his relief he pushed it back to safety, then looked down at the screen itself. He found his location to be close to the top edge of the viewing area, which meant he would have to pull it down in order to see the path he had to take. Once more he maneuvered himself into position and got his body over the locator, the light shined off his suit as he got his throbbing member over the screen. With his lack of arms he was forced to push it hard against the glowing glass and tried to slide his member from top to bottom. As soon the dragon made contact with it his entire body was washed over in pleasure, his body shuddered as he continued to try and focus.
A droplet of Serandite's pre dripped on the screen as he felt the sensitive tool slide across the slick material. When he felt it touch metal he backed away quickly and looked down, praying that he did it correctly. He looked down to see that the blinking dot that represented him went from the top to the middle of the screen, though it wasn't as far as he would have liked he could still continue on. He gripped the device by its antenna with his feet and dragged it forward. More than once he had to correct his path before he moved forward, and after a few seconds he once more reached the edge of the device's screen.
For the second time he fell to his knees and pressed his still throbbing cock against the device, grunting slightly as he positioned himself to move the screen up. Once again he felt a surge of blissful pleasure throughout his body as he pressed his sensitive flesh against the screen once more. It took all his restraint to hump against the device as he slowly moved it forward, more pre dribbled against the screen as he scrolled the map further along. Much to his relief he could see that his journey was close to over but the paths ahead were going to be extremely hard to both navigate his restrained body and push the device forward. Another problem was the fact his pre had started to cloud up the screen and made it hard for him to both move forward and look at the direction.
Even so Serandite put his clawed device on the machine and scooted it forward, he hopped along the narrower pathways and tried not to look down at the pits of blackness that surrounded him. More than once he felt himself begin to stumble only to catch himself right before he tumbled off the edge. Finally it got to the point where he couldn't slide the device and hop next to it, which meant he would have to push it forward and then move himself. He took a deep breath and, after checking the clock to see he had eleven seconds to go, pushed the device forward a few inches.
The red dragon's tactics worked for a few feet but when he got to a sharp curve he pushed the sensor too far and it disappeared over the edge. His heart sank as the light disappeared over the edge and plunged him into complete blackness. He still had the image of the layout in his mind but without the machine he neither could check nor did he have the light source to illuminate the inches he had before. With only his feet to reach out and guide him he gulped and stepped forward.
As Serandite kept inching forward another problem had reared its head, his cock had begun to throb so hard that if he had his hands untied he probably would have started to masturbate. It caused him to stumble more than once, only his reflexes saved him from the mysterious fate he would suffer if he fell. Unfortunately he also didn't know how much time he had on the clock and the bound dragon was literally left in the dark on his progress.
Mentally he continued to tell himself to keep it together despite the erotic feel of the bindings against his scales as he moved a step at a time. The lack of senses caused his lust to go into overdrive and a growing part of him just wanted to dive off the edge and hope that it would slake the burning pleasure inside of him. His resolve gave him the determination to continue onward though even as his pathway became less and less. At one point his entire foot slipped off the edge and he fell to his knee as he dangled precariously over the edge.
For a second Serandite thought that it was all over, he could feel the seconds tick by as it took every effort of his being to get up. He knew there was only a few seconds left at most and he only had several feet to go, so with his last herculean effort he grunted in his mask and barreled forward once he regained his footing. The feeling was terrifying to lunge himself headfirst into the darkness, not knowing if suddenly there would be no solid footing under him at the end of his charge. He was able to take a few more steps before he stumbled again and the restrained dragon fell headfirst into the darkness.
Serandite let out a muffled noise as he crashed into the metal floor chest first, skidding another foot or two before his body finally came to a stop. His breath rebounded heavily in the confines of his mask as he knew by now he had run out of time and waited to see what his potential punishment could be. Much to his surprise though he felt the restraints unlatch and loosen from his arms, which allowed him to use them for the first time since he woke up. As he regained the feeling in his limbs he hissed as the lights suddenly turned on and the silver dragon appeared before him once more.
"Good work, you certainly had a few stumbles but you made it out just fine." Argos complimented him. "You can leave the gear there and move on to your next challenge. I know that it's tempting but try not to take anything with you, it'll only slow you down in the coming times. Don't worry though, I've given you something that I think you'll enjoy in the meantime since you were so good at handling things with your thing."
At first the red dragon looked at him in confusion, but he followed the AI's gaze down to his cock to see it wiggle in a completely unnatural fashion. He stroked the draconic flesh and found that even though it was still completely erect it had a strange flexibility to it. "Alright now, you can play with that as you walk." Argos said with a snicker as he watched Serandite start to get more control over the prehensile tool. "You have an opponent to meet."
********************************
Zenny sighed slightly as he mulled on his loss, his claws poked at the thick rubber that covered his ears and eyes. Even though he had to admit that the hood was rather stylish Argos was right that it definitely hampered his hearing and vision, the tinted lenses made the darkened journey even worse. He let his hand press against the wall to help guide him, but after about a hundred feet his hand suddenly felt nothing but empty air. It took a few seconds for him to get himself righted, then moved forward as carefully as he could.
At the same time Serandite reached the end of his own hallway, still grinning a bit as he let his prehensile penis curl around his wrist. He wasn't sure how it would help him out but it was a very pleasurable sensation. The dragon was so enraptured in the feeling that he almost didn't realize that he had stepped into a much larger room, once he did he saw that he was in some sort of laboratory setting. What he also saw was a blue and yellow dragon with a black rubber mask on stumble about in the darkness. "Nice mask." He said, though he didn't know that Zenny couldn't hear him anyway.
"Do I detect a bit of jealousy in your tone?" Both dragons turned their heads towards the large wall screen at the other end of the room, and from there a cascade of lights turned on until the entire area was awash with bright light. "Don't worry, plenty of time for that to happen to you on a more permanent basis. For right now though we have something else far more exciting in store for you, if you'll both go up to your perspective workbenches we can get started."
Serandite and Zennith looked at each other, then move towards the metal tables that took up most of the room. Most of the space was taken up by various pieces of equipment and bottles marked with strange names on it. As Zenny picked up one of the ingredient vials and Serandite looked through one of the glasses filled with liquid Argos continued with his explanation.
"The rules of this head to head are simple; you two will both be trying to concoct series of potions in order to counteract the multitude of spores that you have been inhaling since you arrived here. Once I disappear several potion recipes will be on display, each one ranked in order of difficulty to create and you can't create the same potion twice until you've created all the others. If you create a higher difficulty concoction the transformation will be slowed more and for longer, but if you make any of the potions incorrectly it will cause... adverse side-effects. The person who succumbs completely to the transformation loses, and this challenge starts when the potion recipes appear on the screen. Does everybody understand?"
The two dragons nodded and the AI gave them one last nod of encouragement before he disappeared. In the next second the screen was filled with five recipes, from a relatively simple two ingredient potion to a very complex multi-step one. Both Serandite and Zennith picked one of the mid-range potions to start, though Serandite was confident enough in his abilities to pick the complexity level four one. As they did they felt their skin begin to tingle, especially around their lips, cock, and tailholes.
"Gah, these lenses..." Zenny grumbled as he put the ingredients close to his face, the tinted lenses making it hard to see the labels and colors of the ingredients he was trying to mix. As he held it up close he saw red tendrils of rubber begin to appear on his skin which only began to expand over his skin. "This again?!"
Serandite looked up from his own potion making to see what his opponent was talking about, his own hands covered in red lines of latex. Even though he only gave it a quick look he noticed that they looked a little like plant vines. Both dragons began to pick up their pace, adding the ingredients together. Strange clouds of multi-colored smoke began to come up from their alchemy tables as their potions simmered.
Zenny was the first one to finish his potion, and as he poured it out he realized he had enough for about a single swallow. At first he was slightly nervous to try it, but as his hand clasped around the vial he saw the red vines begin to curl around his claws he immediately took the light-blue potion and drank it down. Almost immediately he felt the tendrils recede, breathing a sigh of relief as he felt the strange plant come off of his body. Before he could celebrate though he felt the vines begin to grow back, which prompted him to begin another potion once again.
Meanwhile Serandite had a similar potion reaction, though his liquid turned a deep purple instead of blue. He wasn't too surprised that his was different, since it was a higher complexity. He took his potion and slurped it down immediately, a warm tingling sensation flooded his body as his vines, which were a cerulean blue, withered and dropped off of his red skin. "It appears that did the trick after all." He said as he looked back at the menu board.
Zenny decided that he was going to try and do the complexity five potion next now that he had a chance to get used to the layout and the disadvantage of the lenses on his face. He found it hard to distinguish colors as he chopped the ingredients for the concoction, the tint darkening some of the shades of colors to the point where they're almost indistinguishable. Thankfully he also had the shapes of the herbs to work with as well, though that didn't help when the thick liquid had to boil until it turned a specific hue. It also hadn't helped that he could feel the continued wiggle of thickening crimson vines that had already begun to weave their way across his body and cause pleasurable tingles against his skin.
Serandite on the other hand had a much better time of his preparations; he had already gotten halfway through his next potion before the vines had even begun to bother him. The only thing that caused him pause was as the blue vines wrapped around his black, fully erect cock and the already prehensile flesh began to taper and lengthen even more. As it got to a point where it began to wrap around his wrist the coloration began to change as well to the same blue color as the vines that had entwined around his mutating member.
In their second round Serandite got done with his potion far before his competitor did, the spoon clattering to the table as he took the filled vial and downed the contents. He had wasted no time, by now the persistent vegetation had grown leafy and his fingers were almost completely consumed by blue. He could feel that his fingers had begun to lose a lot of their structure as well, much like his mutated cock they began to bend at odd directions and had far more flexibility then his former digits. As the potion took effect though he breathed a sigh of relief as he regained the use of his fingers once more.
Serandite had immediately begun to start to set up to get the five-star potion made, which he hoped would coast him through to the end, when he started to feel a strange numbing sensation in his mouth. When he licked his lips his tongue stretched unnaturally passed them as more vines slithered from inside his maw past his teeth and over his snout. He let out a small cry of alarm and dropped the vial he had to try and stop the progress, but by the time he had reacted the vines had already twined around each other to form a type of plant muzzle that clamped his lips shut. The only place he could open his mouth was from a small hole in the middle of his mouth, and as he watched in surprise his tongue slithered out of his maw until it extended to nearly a foot in length and writhed about in the air. Serandite didn't let it phase him though, as soon as his transformation completed he set about to try and make a quick two star potion instead to try and undo some of the damage.
About half a minute after his rival's unfortunate transformation Zenny's potion was finished; it was a brilliant silver color that shined in the light before he gulped it down and tossed the empty vial aside. After seeing the other dragon he was nervous that he had somehow messed it up himself, especially as the seconds ticked by and nothing happened. Suddenly a number of the red vines turned a bright silver and withered away from his body, though as he looked down at his body the mutations that the vines had wrought remained. Even now the vines over his cock, which seemed to be their favorite place to begin their growth, had begun to assimilate his flesh even faster than before.
When it appeared that he was going to suffer no side-effects from the complex potion he began to work on the four star concoction, but by the time he had gotten his ingredients together he noticed that Serandite had already completed the two star potion he was working on. The red dragon drank down the potion quickly, though he had to push his plant tongue all the way into his mouth in order to administer the dose. Like Zenny the vines on his arms began to wither away, but before he could even begin to read the ingredients for the five star potion they had already started to grow back once more.
The blue and yellow dragon felt the pressure of the challenge mounting with each new vine that wrapped around his biceps and shoulders. As he mixed in the first of his ingredients he began to feel his legs thicken as well, and when he had a second between chopping and boiling his herbs he looked down to see thick red vines that had wrapped around his ankles and calves thicken considerably and flow over his toes before they anchored themselves to the ground. He tried to pull his foot up but found it completely anchored to the ground, and as those very thick vines completed their rooting they began to crawl upwards and bind his legs together into a singular trunk.
Serandite could feel a similar pressure on his chest as the vines around his chest and groin formed into a solid blue mass, still giving him a humanoid form but still giving his upper torso a rather monstrous visage. Both contestants had vines crawl up their spines and necks as well, the tendrils flaring out to form a vine mask. Their times were running short, as they both struggled to make their next potion it became a race against the clock as both their eyes began to have solid black veins crawl over them and cover their natural colors.
Zenny grimaced as he realized he might be screwed on this one, he could feel the plant slither its way under his mask and cover his snout, forming into a similar muzzle that Serandite had gotten as punishment while the plant on his spine quickly flared out to cover his wings. His potion was still far from completed, which meant he was probably going to lose. The dragon was just about to put his stirring rod down to try a premature version of his potion when a loud roar managed to pierce through his mask. He looked over to see the formerly red dragon arch back and let out a loud roar as several very large plant tentacles burst out from the layer of vines that had completely engulfed his body, while at the same time the plant on Zenny's own body began to die off. While he was no botanist it appeared to him that the plants had formed some kind of parasitic relationship as Serandite looked at Zenny with pitch black eyes save for a thin circle of green.
"Congratulations to you Zenny, managed to just beat your opponent in what would be considered a war of attrition at the end, it must have been hard with that mask on." Argos commented on as the last of the vines fell away from the dragon's cerulean body. "Since you have bested your rival we will be removing the punishment from you and instating your reward." Zennith breathed a sigh of relief as the mask fell away from his face, though the celebration was short lived as he felt something wiggle inside his palms. When he flexed his wrists two small metallic tentacles pushed their way out and flicked in the air.
"Don't worry, you have complete control over them and they can be quite useful." Argos said before he turned to the plant dragon that used to be Serandite. "Now that you have succeeded you have a choice, either you can choose to bestow mercy and let them continue onward, or choose to eliminate him and I'll make sure he's 'transplanted' to another section of the compound.
"Hey, a win is a win right?" Zenny replied rather quickly. "NO MERCYYYY!"
"How enthusiastic." Argos said with a big smile. "Very well, continue on while I take care of our little flower." Zennith heard the whoosh of a door opening next to him and he walked into the darkness of the next room, which then immediately slid shut as the AI looked at the writhing vines of the plant dragon whose footpaw roots had dug into the ground and begun to grow outward. "You'll be very popular in our hydroponics lab I think." He said as the corrupted dragon looked up at him with pure black and green eyes...
