Karyu laid in the middle of a grove, in the dense forest he and his family found the cave, the tall grass tickled his scales, the gentle rays of sunlight bathed Karyu's form, the wildlife would sometimes run away after they would see his terrifying appearance, but some of the wildlife didn't run away, sometimes a swallow would perch on his newly transformed horns, resembling large antlers.
When Karyu, Luka, Tammy and Teach were still exploring the cavern, Karyu touched an old rusted blade, triggering a change and an awakening, his form changed, completely resembling the depiciton of the ancient dragon god, Madurai. Karyu grew another set of wings, making him stand out against other dragons, his horns changed, keeping the same ruby-like texture and coloration, but they grew and resembled branched horns, he kept some of the physical traits he had before the change, like the red and black color of his scales and his blood-red eyes. While standing on the lush green grass, Karyu was suffering a terrible headache, Anija suggested that the headache might be caused due to the amount information and memories entering Karyu's mind, which was true, Karyu could remember events that he had no way to know, he could easily describe the days when the gods ruled over the mortal plane, he could even tell how the world was before humankind stepped into existence. The headache wasn't so detrimental, but it was unpleasant.
Although it did pay off with some powerful spells and incantations, Karyu could easily switch his genders or change his form whenever he wanted to, without any form of recoil or day-limitation, he could also change humans into dragons or dragons into humans if he wanted to, he knew spells that were considered forgotten or non-existent, and he could easily change the thoughts of humans or dragons.
"Am i speaking with my old friend or an ancient deity?" Asked a voice, Karyu instantly recognized the voice, it was Oakmoss's voice, he turned his head, looking at the beautiful greenish-teal scales of his friend, a smile was on the dragon's visage as he laid near Karyu, "Oakmoss! How are you doing?" asked Karyu, as he covered his friend with three of his long wings, when Karyu met Oakmoss for his first time, he felt as if a bond was forging between the two, not the bond of a friendship, the bond of two lovers, "I'm doing fine, what about you?" asked Oakmoss, as he looked at the much taller drake before him, with a smile on his scaled lips, "I'm doing great, my children spoke their first word, i'm so happy!" said Karyu, by just remembering his two Kilin children speaking their first word filled the demonic drake with joy, "Oh... I see..." said Oakmoss, the two drakes kept talking together about their life.
Hours have passed, Karyu's headache was completly gone and his mind was completly filled with memories of the dragon god Madurai, including spells, meanwhile he and Oakmoss kept talking, until the greenish-teal colored drake became suddenly silent, Karyu instantly noticed this and got worried, "Oakmoss, are you alright? You've been really silent." asked Karyu with a worried voice, Oakmoss quickly shook his head, "N-No i'm fine." said the drake, Karyu could easily see and hear that Oakmoss was lying, something was wrong with him, "Oakmoss... Stop hiding and admit it, there's something wrong with you." said Karyu, this made Oakmoss sigh, he couldn't lie to his friend, who just became a god, "Karyu, the more time i spend with you, the more i realize something." said Oakmoss, this made Karyu give a confused look as he listened, "I realized that i have a crush on... Y-You." said Oakmoss, his scaled cheeks getting a tone of red as he blushed, only to then sigh and give a sad look, "But you already fell for your Rider, and you two have children." continued Oakmoss, "And how can a low dragon like me be the mate of a dragon god like you?" asked Oakmoss.
"Simple." Replied Karyu quickly as he locked his lips with Oakmoss's in a romantic kiss, only to then break it, Karyu looked at Oakmoss, his scaled visage completly red in emberassment, "I have to admit, even i started to develop a crush for you." said Karyu, "And don't worry, my Rider said that i can fall in love with anyone, she won't mind it all." finished Karyu, this made Oakmoss smile as he quickly nuzzled the drake before him.
