Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 46: Emotional Mess

To be honest, I wasn't sure what was going to happen when I touched Marly, but I didn't think it was that bad, definitely not hard on the eyes. Her feet and hands were covered in the same purple scale, except miniature now, running to her knees and elbows. Marly also now had wings comparable to Mesh's and a pair of small purple horns.

"Hum... Great Master Hyde!"

Marly's hands flew from her breasts to her mouth, leaving the pair jiggling in the wake of her hands. Shock, anger, disbelief, and then embarrassment passed across Marly's face as a storm of emotions. Tears were starting to form in her eyes.

"Alright, I order you to call me Hyde or whatever you want for now, but do not test me. I get; you were a great massive dragon," I paused there and took my black t-shirt off, and tossed it to Marly. "Here, put this on to cover your body. Like I was saying, I understand you are upset, but there is nothing we can do about it right now. Believe me, I wanted you to come and help me fuck some shit up in Haertia, but now I will have to settle with taking you home with me until I can fix your, uh, small problem."

Marley was trying to pull the shirt on, but her wings were getting in the way. I could tell she was getting frustrated, so I went over and took the shirt back from her. She scowled at me, but I ignored her, which was easy since she was now almost a full head shorter than me and not taking up my entire view.

I turned the shirt over and concentrated hard, holding the shirt with one hand. I wanted to make a tiny flame, but almost a foot long flame shot out. I looked at the red flame with annoyance, and focused on the flame, think about a torch and a star at the same time.

The flame slowly began to get shorter and then change from orange, blue, and brilliant white light. The flame shrunk until it was a single pinhead point of light. I leaned down and dragged my finger on the black crystal floor and left an engraved smooth line where my finger had pulled.

I looked back to the shirt and dragged two quick long lines down the shirt's back, cutting to the bottom. It left a strip dangling in the middle, and I let go of the OP Starfire cutter thing I made. Then walked back to where Marly was standing.

I told her to lift her arms, then I helped her get it on and the piece of cloth in the back to sit between her wings. After getting the shirt on her, I stepped back to give her a better look. The T-shirt looked cute on her sliding down to cover the bottom of her cheeks barely. Somehow this made her look even sexier than when she was naked.

"Alright, we have played in here for long enough. Let's get going back to the others."

"Wait! I have to go with you?"

"Well, I won't force you, but I also can't help you if you stay here."

"You mean ill be stuck like this for the rest of my life?"

"More than likely, see if you want to have a chance at being that massive dragon again, we will have to work together. That's the only way this thing works, and I didn't make the rules for my magic. Gripton gave it to me by accident, I think."

"You think? The god of this world just accidentally gave you the magic that can do this, REALLY?! ON ACCIDENT?!"

Marly was pointing at herself and then all the damage I had caused in the room.

'And what do you have to say about this accusation, Mr. God?'

'I plead the fifth!' -Gripton.

'Was there ever any fine print?'

'Well, you see now...' -Gripton.

'Why lie to me? What was the point?'

*sigh* -Gripton.

'I wasn't sure if I could trust you with the power if I just told you what it could do. I also didn't think you would listen even if I did, but now I trust you. I didn't know.' -Gripton.

"Don't ignore me!"

Marly startled me, and I stepped back as she was standing on her tiptoes with her face close to mine. As I stepped back, she advanced on me until my back suddenly pressed into a wall. Marly pressed herself into me, and I could feel her erect nipples drag up my chest as she raised herself to my face again.

Her anger must have been the fuel that made her nipples like rocks.

'Well, at least she can't kill you now.' -Gripton.

"I'm not ignoring you... that much, but Grip was explaining himself in my head. It's hard to concentrate on both of you at the same time."

Marley relaxed, sliding down my chest. She put her head on my chest and began to cry again. Jeez, this dragon was a mess.

I wrapped my arms around her and slid down the wall. I let her cry herself out in my arms, but I worried about how the others were doing. The black border was still up, so I couldn't see them. I couldn't tell if the fear was still affecting them or they were actually listening to me, so I just waited with Marly.

Soon The soft crying got even quieter, and then they were replaced by a soft snore. Are you kidding me? I guess this was all just too much for Marly to handle at this point, so I picked her up.

It was awkward to carry her, and I ended up having to tuck her wings in and held Marly with her head on my shoulder. I carried the Dragon-Kin like a child and started to walk out of the cave. I passed through the curtain of darkness, and the group was still where I left them.

My party all looked worried until they saw me, then they rushed over. They were all giving me strange looks after they saw the person sleeping in my arms. Kadence and Mishka came up to me, but Krya and Mesh stayed back about five feet.

"Is that..."

When I nodded, they both gasped. Yeah, I felt the same way. I fucked this one up royally!
