=========================================================

Hector stood looking up, still in shock. Just a few seconds ago, he has outgrown the bronze dragon, but now…It was pointless. A piece of the amulet that made the little mouse bigger than a dragon, bigger than mountains, bigger than anything now rests inside a gigantic bronze dragons belly.
The huge lizard still stared at Hector, still swollen with the power it now possessed. The mouse was no more to him now than a cockroach. Green lightning runs through his body every second and then, as if in time with his height. The beast's head had become disproportionately small, giving way to a mass of pure muscle. And he just got bigger and bigger, right before my eyes…
"You should have seen yourself from the outside," the giant rumbled, " a minute ago…Gnnnh...you could crushed me, but now ... who is the ruler of the world? I'm not just a little...dragon anymore...I'm ... a GOD!
The dragon kept moving away from the ground, but it seemed to be getting closer. It began to grow even more intensely, as if someone invisible was inflating it with a pump.
The lizard moved its huge head almost to the mouse. Hector was already the size of his nose. A giant stared for a moment, as if searching for someone, and then moved away again, still growing. Then he raised his huge hand and pointed at Hector...Oh no, did he want to crush him? The mouse was afraid – against God, he just cannot resist! However, wait, no, the dragon was pointing at something beneath it. Just a moment later, a green lightning bolt shot from his finger – right under the mouse's feet! Hector is jump back in fright.
What the mouse saw next filled him with horror. From under the clouds that crept under his feet began to appear...dragons! The four who were with the bronze giant. Now they were completely different. They grew more and more, their musculature literally changing in a blink of an eye of a frightened mouse. From frail and thin-legged dragons, they turned in a few seconds into huge busty beasts with muscles that could roll a mountains...provides that each of them was bigger than any mountain on this planet…
They all kept growing! They are already shoulder-high out of the clouds, chest-high ... waist-high...knee-high ... the size of a Hector...and even more?! The dragons continued to swell with strength. They moaned and groan with the force that pumping their bodies. Their voices went from squeak to bass as they towered over the planet...and over Hector. They outgrew it by a third...no, half, and stopped…All the lizards were panting as if they had just been hauling bricks.
Apparently, this rapid growth is very tired of their bodies. When they caught their breath, the titans didn't even look at the mouse, their attention was focuse on the bronze dragon. That titan didn't even think to stop growing! Moreover, the huge lizard soared to the sky and without touching the ground continued to increase in size.
"Samir," the green dragon said, "You've become so ... huge...so ... strong…"
Samir...so that's the name of this giant! Well, now at least Hector knows who beat him.
"I've always wanted...to be ... the strongest!" Samir exhaled. Now he was so huge that from the ground you couldn't see all of his huge body.
"I am no longer the Samir who coordinated your actions. Now I am a God!"
The pack of dragons began to whisper to each other in awe. Samir's huge torso loomed over them all, and the head itself watched them like bugs. The dragons were clearly afraid of their new brother, but…
«But…how?» - the dark-brown-scaled dragon looked most surprised
"Have you heard the legend of the amulet of divine power? ... No?" Well, let me tell you…
Once upon a time, perhaps thousands of years ago, there were many gods in the world. They all represented something – someone was the God of craft, someone was the God of Fire, and so on. Each of them had his own incarnation, as if he could condescend to mortals. So, according to the legend, none other than the God of Power descended to the land of Alaysia. He was depicted as a dragon with silver scales and huge muscles. He didn’t descend for nothing – a tiny lizard was begging for help. It was only a few centimeters long. Every day the poor lizard was starving, unable, because of his weakness, not enough to catch food for himself, but also to fight back against the offender. The deity, although called the God of Power, was very good-natured to those who needed strength and help. It created a talisman from the air and gave it to the lizard. As soon as it touched that one, it immediately became bigger and stronger – that was the power of the God of Power. I always thought it was just a legend, nothing more, but ... after the Custer incident, I started thinking about it…
"Is this the same blue monster who, because of his great power, has crushed almost all the treasures under him?" - this time the voice came from a dragon with bright red scales. His voice was more defiant, with a hint of resentment. A trickle of smoke rose from his nose.
"Yes, that's it. He was carrying part of the amulet, I think. The weakling so needed strength, and so successfully found the fragment from the amulet… In a fair fight with Custer, no one would have stood – with his newfound strength, he simply couldn’t have lost in a fair fight. And how fortunately that this fragment was stolen for me by a small mouse! Hah, and he didn't even think to run away!
The dragons look back at Hector. The gaze of all four pierce his small body. The green dragon look at him with pity. Brown stare at Hector's huge muscles. Red curled his paw into a fist and grinner. Hector's entire body is paralyze with fear. He clearly felt that his fate is being decide.
«You’re all suppose to serve me, but this mouse ... he tried to crush me! I can't forgive that. However, he showed himself as a very strong opponent...» - Samir's gaze literally drilled into his pathetic body. The dragon itself grew so large that the sky was no longer visible behind it!
«It's decided! Whoever wins it will be my personal favorite…»
"Will you give us more power?" the red dragon spoke again. Hector could tell from his shout that this one was only interested in the force. He wanted to be as powerful as Samir. This one will follow the bronze dragon even if it stops noticing him, just to have some chance of his indulgence and grace.
Samir laughed. Now his laugh was more like that of a deity. Booming, loud, and haughty laughter rolled for miles around the planet. A grin appeared on the bronze giant's face.
-Undoubtedly…
Hector at that time was frozen like a statue in the shadow of a huge dragon. Two of them were moving toward him, while the green one just stood there, watching his fellows.
- Verkis! - the bronze dragon snap. The sound was like thunder. The whole place shook with the wrath of the great dragon. Rage twisted the giant's face. How dare someone disobey God???
"Why don't you attack?" Don't you want to be as strong, as powerful...as I am?
- And for this purpose it is necessary to beat the one who is weaker? - the green dragon's voice sounded like a squeak in comparison to Samir's booming speech. - I know you – with such power you will not spare anyone! You…
" Verkis, Verkis, Verkis..." the green dragon's voice was literally drowned out by Samir's all-encompassing voice. His voice was soft again, as if he were talking to a child – I offer you such a great power…but you refused it…And for what? For the little scum who almost hurt your God??? You have always been too good to those who are not worth the dust under your feet...so become that dust»
The bronze dragon raise his paw again. He grew already so huge that his paw could safely cover all the giants! Lightning shot from his finger again, directly at the green dragon. He grown again and get down on one knee. Hector watch to the dragon in surprise. Is Samir going mad? The dragon will only start getting stronger! After all, the amulet can only increase the owner of the amulet at his desire...well, those who are directed at these green lightning amulet. The amulet can't...kill, don’t it???
But then the green dragon began to change. His chest, which had been puffed out proudly, deflated as if someone had punctured a balloon. All of its huge muscles also began to shrink, and the dragon itself ... shrank right before Hector’s eyes! Yes, so quickly that before he could gasp, he became three times smaller! All dragon majestic beauty was gone from moment to moment. Now he was already as tall as Hector, but his diminution did not even think to go down. Rather the opposite – poor Verkis was shrinking at a much faster rate than he had grown before! He was already waist-high...knee-high ... and still shrinking! The dragon was already tiny, looking more like a cockroach than a giant lizard. He managed to squeak something before shrinking to a size that made it impossible to see him, hiding behind the clouds, but the words were no longer legible.
- Samir...the brown dragon couldn't take his eyes off his huge brother, - you...you're a real God!" Only God can take away the power given to others!
- That's right..." the Titan's grin widened, almost to the sky, - and I can share that power with you...you just need to entertain me. Attack!
Hector is suddenly woke up. Before that, he had watched everything that was happening, frozen with fear. Now it was as if someone had given him a big shake on the shoulder. His head is clear immediately, and the mouse realized that he was about to be beaten. However, that was when he was defenseless and couldn't even think of fighting back! Now he stands above the world and wields great power. These two dragons were just like that, and even if they were bigger, he knew how to handle his new body!
Hector managed to dodge the brown dragon's clawed foot backward. She should have taken his head off if he hadn't ducked. But Hector's reaction only gave him a chance to save his skin – he crouched down, clenched his right hand into a fist, and hit his opponent in the stomach with all his might. With a cry of pain, the dragon fell to its stomach. At that moment, a red dragon leaped at the mouse from behind. Hector had time to react, but it was too late. With a growl, Hector rolled onto his back and tried to throw the red lizard off. The latter, in turn, pinned him to the ground with all his strength, trying to keep the mouse in place. The mouse tensed all its muscles. He felt stronger than he had ever felt before. Veins swelled all over his body, sending the blood through his veins with a vengeance. Hector seemed to have grown up under the dragon. The red giant is convulsively trying to keep its grip. He snarls and puffs, trying to show his superiority over the mouse. However, every second Hector feels that his opponent is weakening. The red scales become wet with sweat. Hector tensed his muscles even more, not slowing down.
"No ... lizard...can defeat ... ME!"
At the same moment, Hector managed to break free of the red giant's grip. The giant's paws had sagged and now the dragon was just lying on top of him, trying to pin him down with its weakened bulk! The mouse crawled out from under the dragon and grabbed it by the throat. The dragon was so weak that dazh did not try to resist – he hung out of the mouth forked at the end of the tongue and intensely inhaled air. Hector raised the dragon's head to the level of the blow, and clenched his hand into a fist. He was almost at the limit himself, sweat streaming down his muscular body, and the mouse felt his entire battle-weary body tense up again. Every cell in his body is almost completely exhausted, but you need to finish the job! The mouse looked into the eyes of his opponent and ... saw himself in them! At first he recoiled – it couldn't be him! A huge, Titanic body, dotted with hundreds of veins, a small head with a contorted face from anger and effort…
"I ... I became a monster!" Unusually strong, rude...but angry…Is this what I wanted to be?...
The hand slowly released itself. Hector looked shamefacedly away from his fallen opponent. Could he be the same monster as the three dragons?
-FINISH HIM! – roared Samir. His voice seemed to sober Hector! Well, of course not! He's not a monster!
"I'm not your henchmen!" I don't obey any gods! Hector's voice, though not as loud as Samir's, but still loud over the planet. Especially to the huge, bloated lizard!
The dragon laughed. For him, Hector was already the size of an ant! His laughter echoes in the mouse's ears. The dragon is incredibly strong, it is huge...but I will not bend before it! I have already decided that no one will stand in my way! And I will definitely not be afraid of anyone! I've been afraid all of my lifetime...ENOUGH OF THIS! It's time to face your fear…
"Pathetic worm..." Samir's voice sounded like the voice of a deity, "You have no chance against me...like no one else in this universe!" The gods have left this world, and now I will become everyone and only Goddess! I have already become the size of a planet...anyway, everyone will soon obey to me! In the end, the strongest and most discontent ... will become the biggest weaklings ... HA-HA-HA-HA!
The dragon withdrew. Now only his huge torso is visible across the sky! The dragon is drench in sweat, its bronze scales glittering at the setting sun. The body and then ran a small, green bits...it looks like a real God in flesh!
"See how big I am? How strong?! And I can get even BIGGER!»
Obeying the command, an impulse passed through the dragon's entire body. His chest get even bigger...and bigger...and bigger…
"Yes...Yes...YES, MORE!" WHAT CAN YOU DO, YOU MISERABLE WORMS! I BECOME…
Suddenly the mouse noticed something that Samir had not noticed in his ecstasy. The dragon head ... stopped growing! The amulet feeds him with power, but Samir's body just can't take any more. Like a balloon that has been inflated too much, it continues to expand, but not to grow. The energy of the amulet simply has nowhere to go! Which means…
Samir's chest is swelling. Huge veins become visible. The dragon's head, tiny in comparison to its body, still spoke of its greatness. Eyes that had been the color of honey began to glow green. The dragon...didn't notice any changes in his body...but suddenly…
-NNNHHH! ENOUGH! I CAN'T...ANYMORE…NOOO ... WANT...MORE...I...CAN ... I…
Hector turned away from the dragon in a panic and covered his ears. At the same moment, an explosion sounded! The sound from it was so strong that even with his ears clamped shut, Hector felt a huge wave of the sound of an exploding body roll through his entire body. Gritting his teeth, the mouse cringed and pressed his ears closer to his head and squeezed his eyes shut. He felt something tickle under his body – it must be the forest. I wonder if he crushed anyone. The flow did not stop, in fact, it seemed to be putting more and more pressure on the poor man, trying to throw him away from the explosion. However, gradually the force of the explosion began to fade and soon there was absolute silence. Hector opened his eyes cautiously. Samir disappeared as if he had never been there. Beside him lay the red and brown dragons. The brown one was gradually recovering. Hector's strike must have disabled him! The red dragon, exhausted, continued to panting nearby. The mouse looked up…
Bronze scales began to fall from the sky. They fell slowly, like ashes on a battlefield. One of the scales landed directly on Hector's nose. He felt very sad about Samir's fate. Maybe he was a good commander and leader of the squad, but his greed…
"So this is what happens to the power-hungry people..." But in the place of the dragon could be himself! He could just as well have explode like him from the force that filled his overpowered body! And how many times it has grown dramatically! How did he isn’t explode?
Hector brushes away the scale, and something else caught his eye. Red dragon came to his senses.
- Where is…Samir?- his voice trembled slightly with weakness.
"He's dead. Exploded like a bomb, full of power.
"So that's it…
Something caught the eye of the gigantic dragon. Hector followed his gaze and saw ... light! The green glow sparked at the spot where it hovered Samir. It flowed, twisted and went in a spiral around...a piece of the amulet! It was close, just a few meters away…
- Oh no... - flashed in the mind of Hector.
"The power ... the power of God…I want it! A dragon exclaimed. He tried to run, and it worked! With a speed that does not belong to a tired creature, the dragon rushed to the piece of amulet. It looks like he's got a second wind.
- Damn...the second such Titan! If it explodes again...who knows what will happen! I need to stop him!
Hector sprinted for the amulet. We must not allow it to fall into the clutches of the red lizard, otherwise it may turn out to be something worse than just an explosion! Hector leaped at the dragon. Because of the difference in height and strength, he did not have time to grab the side, but only grabbed the tail, but it was enough. The big man fell on his stomach, hitting the ground with his muzzle, and started to get up slowly. At the same moment, the force that was curling around the amulet touches the dragons body. Pulling away from the amulet, it began to flow into the dragon, and he...began to grow!
"Yes...the great power will soon be mine!"
Without wasting time on chatter and watching in detail how another overgrown lizard grows, Hector ran to the amulet and grabbed it with both paws. He is a little wet, but as soon as the mouse touches the piece of the God's amulet, a familiar wave ran through his entire body. The power filled him just as it had that time in the cave. Hector closed his eyes. He felt a force from the outside, that which is left over from Samir, and he joins in too! And in the amulet itself ... a sea of energy! No one can empty such a place! And this energy can be ... distributed! In order not to explode, you just need to manage your growth correctly, and then…
Hector began to grow. He had grown up with his eyes closed, so he could not see the dragon, but he felt it shake the ground beneath him. He roared and cursed, but at some point his voice became weaker. The mouse continued to grow larger. You need to calmly absorb this energy, so that it does not get to the dragon, and not to explode. Something hit him in the chest. Dissatisfied, Hector opened his eyes. It was a red dragon. It was already full of power and could not contain any more. Now it only grew wider, becoming a ball of muscle. But he didn’t give up and trying to fight the mouse.
"Give it back..." the dragon squeaks. But he is getting smaller and smaller every moment.
Hector had never felt so calm. He feel completely at peace as he looked into the eyes of the raging giant, who was getting smaller and smaller for him. The mouse pushed off from the ground and ... flew. He grew and flew, and the dragon there, on the ground, was already the size of a palm…
At that moment, the dragon leaps and grabbed Hector's paw. The mouse was already fully grown – now it was little more than the size of the entire planet. The dragon jumped very unsuccessfully-apparently, he thought that he could try to take the piece of the amulet from his paw like Samir, but Hector pulled his hand back in time. The mouse gripped the lizard's body with its free paw and looked it straight in the eye. The dragon's small, beady eyes reflected all its anger and fear. It squeaked something, but it became so small that it was difficult for Hector to make out a single word. From the power absorbed by the dragon, he become huge! Swell to an indecent size in comparison with the body, the biceps of the paws, along which thick veins curl like snakes, the spherical chest...he become huge for the inhabitants of Alaisia – under the dragon could easily be several thousand kilometers, and someone he would definitely crush!
Hector was clearly not ready to bring the dragon back to the planet.
The red dragon bun in his hand shook in panic. Apparently, his voice was now similar to that of the bronze dragon. Hector sighed. Perhaps the red dragon thinks that he will judge him like Samir for what he did... Hmm…
"I will take you back to Alaisia. But before that, I will strip you of all your power. Do you agree?
There was an indignant squeak. The dragon's grimace expressed extreme rage. He even tried to take off, but now it was not easy to do it – because it is almost spherical! His wings also not without muscle – the strength that was left of Samir had inflated them, making wings muscles look like biceps, but because of their size, the muscles simply interfered with each other.
"You don't have a choice to stay as big." You'll make such a mess if you come back this big. You should be smaller.
"I wonder how much mayhem I caused myself?" – swipe in the head of the mouse.
Hector shifts the amulet. Now that it is weightless, it is harder to make it. With his other hand, he carefully picked up the amulet and hold it close to the dragon. Seeing the artifact, the dragon tried to break free from its grasp and began to squeak even more. Hector couldn't make out the words – either the dragon was struggling to try to steal the amulet, or it wanted to avoid its fate. Anyway, Hector sent a beam of energy into the dragon's body. Now he knew how to use it. The amulet contained a power whose edge couldn’t be seen. Because of his control over the flow, rather than his chaotic thoughts, the force could interact with other objects – which was why he had grown so quickly back then. Now he is slowly draining the strength from the dragon, reducing it in his hand.
He has already lost half his height and muscle. Now Hector had to hold it with two fingers. The lizard's huge musculature lost its veins, then began to deflate along with its entire body. It seemed that the air is being release from the balloon. Smaller and smaller, it was already approaching the size when it began to grow. Suddenly, the dragon spun out of the beam and flew back to the planet. The mouse tried to grab it, but it was too small to see that red lizard.
"Damn it! Gone... well, at least he's smaller now.
Hector looked at his right hand. Huge, with one throbbing vein ... broad shoulders, big chest, but without the bust, like Samir...
His hand went down to his stomach.
...perfect six pack abs, hard as steel…
It's over, he won...but…
"What now?"
The thought popes into Hector's mind. His gaze going to the planet the same size as he is now. Yes, he wanted to be big, strong, but ... now it's all in front of him! Mice, mountains, dragons! Everyone was nothing more than dust in his eye! This was only possible in everything and now he has outgrown them all! Hector smiled at the thought. He remembered how all the mice had mocked him. How they loomed over him in his nightmares, huge as mountains. And the poor mouse grew smaller and smaller in comparison, until he awoke in a cold sweat in his corner. Now all those "giants" can safely fit on his claw! However...what now awaits him? Who is he to this world now? Still the same mouse, but now the size of a whole world? No, he's different now…
The gods have left this world? So why not become a new God? Huge dragons that are ready to tear the whole world apart are only part of the problem of the whole world. Why shouldn't he, with his power...keep an eye on this tiny world? Alaysia clearly needs a protector!
Hector smiled and flexed his paw. A huge bicep obediently went up. He sent the amulet a command to power up. It began to increase even more as the entire planet shrank in front of it. It slowly shrank to half his size, then to a quarter, and soon to the size of his biceps. The mouse was already free to take all of Alaisia in his hands, as if it were a small watermelon!
Yes, he is now the smallest of all...has become a God…
Suddenly a movement caught his eye. Something tiny, some blue spot on the surface of the planet pulsed and grew in size. The mouse took a closer look...it was a blue dragon! Surrounded by a green aura, it squeaked something under its nose and grew. It increases very quickly and does not inflate like a balloon! Apparently, some spell helps him spread the power through his body without consequences. That's all I need! Hector pointed the amulet at the dragon. You need to reduce it, reduce it to such an extent that he could not use a piece of the amulet!
Hector felt a lump of energy gather in his paw and guide the lizard. Green Luz lunged at the dragon, but the dragon raised a paw to the top. Something glinted in his paw, and a green flash ran through his entire body. At that very moment, the energy beam reached its target. A burst of green energy enveloped the place where the huge blue dragon stood. Hector chuckled. In this charge, he put enough force to reduce the dragon to the size of a poppy seed, or even less. Now residents can sleep…
The flash dissipated, and the dragon still stood on the small planet and continued to grow. A bubble-shaped shield now shimmered around his body. So that's why he raised his paw, he used the power of the amulet to repel his attack!
The dragon pushed off from the surface of the planet and flew straight at the giant mouse. Its size was extremely small, it was the size of a Hector's finger, but it was purposefully rushing at him with great speed.
"Is he going mad?" Why is he trying to attack me? Although…
The thought of two fragments of the amulet at once made the mouse's heart twitch. How great would his power be if he got both of them?! And now the dragon will just give him all the power of the great amulet! Hector's breath caught in his throat. He stretch out his paw to catch the dragon! However, the dragon didn’t think to climb into his paw. Grabbing it with his front paws, he pushed away from it and rushed faster than ever to his face! Hector panicked. He remembered very well that the claws of dragons were very sharp, and this one had lost his mind completely. The blue dragon's face is contort with rage, and there was foam around the edges of its mouth. He's going to scratch his eyes out! But Hector covered it with both paws. From above and below, you can't get out of this grip! The giant's heart began to beat all agitated, driving the blood through his veins. His main enemy is caught! Both pieces of the amulet are in his hands, and now he can become a truly God...
Suddenly Hector felt something pop between his hands, as if dragon have explode. The mouse instinctively froze. He longed to see the two pieces of the amulet without the dragon, which had apparently swelling and burst!
- But the dragon felt completely normal, he could not just pull away from the force, as Samir on an even place. What did the bronze dragon call it? Custer? He called him a sly man, and we should expect surprises…
Suddenly, from inside his palm-shaped "prison for the dragon", something pressed from all sides.
"Heh, apparently the blue brat wants to spread my grip. Hopes for my mercy… You can't wait! Because of you, all the dragons on the mountain were forced to flee from you in fear! You ate a huge number of living creatures that could live peacefully and almost ate me! You…
But here Hector's mental monologue was interrupted by the fact that his "cage" was literally torn apart. The pressure from inside became so strong that his paws flew apart, and a second later the mouse saw him…
The blue dragon is pulsing with power. All this time it had been growing, and now it was growing in jerks that increased it several times. In a moment it was the size of a Hector, and in another moment it was three times as big as he was! A mouse of unexpected height was thrown back by a dragon's gigantic chest.
The dragon is no longer just titan in size – Hector simply couldn't give a description of the dragon's size. IT was so huge that it outshone everything with its body –huge planets, even the Sun! And with all that rapid growth, he looked ... amazing! Perfect body shape, huge muscles, but it all looks so ... natural. Custer laugh. His voice echoed in Hector's head. It was creepy and crazy. But how did the dragon grow so fast? Only now did Hector notice…
Part of the amulet was missing from its paw. Now the entire dragon glowed with a green aura. Looking closer, the mouse saw it, or rather a whole amulet under a huge dragon's chest! Apparently, so in his "house", Custer restored the amulet and become…God Of Power…
"Ha-Ha-Ha-HA!" Thank you, pathetic mouse, for helping me become a God! I don't know if you can hear it or not, but I can tell you that I never expected to find the second part of the God's Amulet! That power was enough to keep other dragons at bay, but to rule the entire UNIVERSE?! No one could even dream of such a thing, and I just wanted the strength to drive the stronger ones away from their lair. AND NOW THEY'RE ALL WORTHLESS, JUST LIKE MY WORLD! A-HA-HA-HA! I WILL BECOME A GOD!
Hector begin to cry. Despair overwhelmed him, and he stopped feeling anything, as if he were deaf. Such a fiasco, such a failure… He has lost, and now nothing can stop a huge, galaxy-sized and larger dragon. After all the battles, after so many confrontations…What to do??? The whole world ... no, the entire universe is now at the mercy of this tyrant whose greed will devour hundreds of worlds...and there is no one to protect him…
"I wish I could save this world…God of Power, if you are here…Help me…
Hector began to pray. He put his hands together, rested his head on them, and closed his eyes. Tears of bitterness ran down his cheeks, but he continued to pray.
- Only you can save this world...
It loomed over everything, never ceasing to grow!
- Please…
"What are you shouting about? I am here!»
Hector open his eyes in surprise. The voice came from somewhere in front of him, but he couldn't see anyone. The mouse rubes his eyes from tears and ... saw before him a tiny dot of silver. Looking closer, he saw a tiny silver dragon.
"Damn it, you can barely see me!" the dragon's voice sounds as if it was opposite him and was the same height as Hector! The mouse couldn't believe it, but he continued to watch the little lizard. With its size, it was hard to see. Meanwhile, the silver dragon snapped its fingers and disappeared in a white flash. Hector close his eyes for a second, but when he looked again, there was no one there. The mouse looked around in despair and ... froze.
A silver dragon floated in front of him, weightless. With his paws behind his head, he lay quietly and watch the mouse with interest. Hector can now see the intruder up close. A little thin, but not without muscle, the lizard was the epitome of elegance. The dragon's body glows with a shimmering white color. This dragon has hair on its head – a shock of brown hair streaming down its head. The only thing that really distinguishes this lizard from the others Hector had seen was a thin circle above its head, forming a perfect halo. There was no longer any doubt-before the mouse appeared God himself!
"So you need power?" the dragon's voice was mocking. Hector was huge and muscular enough not to look helpless.
"If you are a God, stop that dragon! He has your amulet, and... "
"Stop, stop, stop, slow down. You want me to stop that kid?
Hector looked at the blue dragon again. More precisely, the visible part of it. The maximum that was visible now was one of his chest parts. Everything else became so big that it was simply lost with the cosmic rabble! The only source of light for him now was the God of Power. And this God call a dragon of this size ... a kid???
"It can destroy the entire galaxy and more! He was almost mad with the force! Stop him, please! "
"Boy, I can't personally influence what happens in this galaxy. The law forbids me to do that. I can't control it… "
Hector hung his head again. He sas believed that God could subdue this colossal monster.
"So it's all for nothing…"
"But I can influence events indirectly...through other beings…"
The mouse's heart began to pound. So that's it! There is still a chance that someone will stop the beast. All is not lost yet!
"But ... who?"
"Hmm, does anyone else here want to stop a dragon that just outgrew the universe besides you?"
"Me??? But ... am I a worthy one?"
"We're about to find out, big guy. Get ready!"
"Wait, but…"
The dragon extended a clawed paw. A ray of white energy shot out of it and hit Hector in the chest. Immediately the mouse felt it grow! But this power was not comparable to the power of the amulet. It seemed to stretch his body, making him huge and obese. Now the growth was like flying on a rocket. He felt no stretch, no pain. He was simply filled with power that caused his body to increase in size at an incredible speed! The planets that had previously been giants to him became dust motes in seconds that were invisible to the eye. Out of the corner of his eye, Hector saw the Sun – it was no bigger than a tangerine! Then even the Sun was out of sight…And now the other planets are bigger than he is...and now they are no more than a pebble…And again and again…
Extraterrestrially, all the planets suddenly disappear from view. Hector begin to look around in fright and saw...a vortex of planets! There are hundreds, thousands, no, millions of thousands of planets! And they all circle around the center of the star...what a fascinating beauty…And here is another such, and another! There are an infinite number of them! But its growth continued. Here comes the dragon! Now it is fully visible. Hector has grown to the size of his leg...half his height...confidently grown to his chest…
And now they were the same size! However, Hector keep growing bigger! And even more! And more!
Gradually, the growth came to nothing. The mouse grinned and looked at the dragon. It was up to his chest and glared at the huge beige mouse.
"Ready for another round? "
The dragon growled and began to grow larger again.
"I don't know how you did it, but you can't grow forever! But I can…I have the power of God now! I don't have any height limits anymore, like with a pathetic shard! And no one else…NO ONE WILL STOP ME FROM RISING ABOVE EVERYONE!!"
The dragon begin to rise above him again, but Hector notice the amulet - there it was, under his chest! Now it looks stunningly beautiful-gild, with blue stones around the edges. In the center was the same stone that had only be on half of Hector before. The huge red stone radiated lightning that cause the dragon's body to increase in size. You just need to pull it out before the lizard outgrows it again.
As larger the dragon become, as larger the amulet itself becomes.
Hector grabs it with both paws and pull desperately. The touch sent a surge of energy through him. The mouse could feel the amulet growing in his hands. Veins swelled all over his body from the effort. This amulet seemed to be glued to the owner! Meanwhile, the dragon was already towering over him. His huge chest was already completely covering Hector from his head.
"Ha! Nothing! Soon you will be so small that you will not be able to see me, and I will command all the laws of this world! There is more power in this amulet than just growth, and soon I will know its secret.... "
But Hector wasn't going to give up. He kept dragging the amulet, which was already the size of his chest! To disappear? Yes, as if not so! All his life he had trembled before those who were greater. And now it has outgrown everything, even galaxies…
"I WON'T GIVE UP!"
The amulet began to give way! His determination had paid off, and now there was a small gap between the dragon's body and the Power God's Amulet. Hector grabbed it with both paws and began to pull it toward him. Millimeter by millimeter, the amulet was detached from the body of the huge lizard. Now Hector noticed that the amulet was attached to the dragon by the same green lightning bolts, as if it were electrified! The mouse resisted the power of the amulet itself!
"RRRAAA!"
With a final tug, Hector was able to retrieve the amulet! And just in time – the amulet became almost the size of him! At that moment, the dragon looked down. He must have sensed that he was no longer there. He bared his teeth in anger and growled.
"Little bug, you're still fighting…Give it to me now!"
But Hector has a plan in mind! He can be stopped, he can be stopped! The mouse deftly turned the amulet stone to the dragon and began to gain strength. The red stone in the center of the amulet began to change color, slowly turning green. Green lightning flashed all over Hector's body, eager to feed his body with power, but he refused to be tempted. Now the main thing is not its growth, you need to collect energy…
"What are you up to? Return it immediately, or I'll crush you! "
The dragon reached for the amulet with its huge paw. It was so large that it could easily hold both Hector and the amulet. He would definitely crush it, such a force he would not be able to resist! The mouse feel his whole being full with energy. He is ready…
"Get smaller!"
"WHAT?"
A huge beam of energy, thicker than the amulet itself, shot at Custer. The dragon stare in horror and shout some words. Around him forms the same shield of energy with which he had protect himself the first time. The beam hit the shield and spark. Hector, however, continue to maintain the pressure of the beam, in fact, he begin to increase it! He use his body as a store of energy to give it that outlet…
Drops of sweat appears on the dragon's face.
- Stop…
Cracks begin to spread across the shield. Back then, with the power of half the amulet, Custer could easily deflect its beam, but now…
- Do not…
Hector, determine and continue his onslaught. He will stop this giant…
- Please…
Hector straine his body to the limit and sent the remaining energy into the amulet. Every part of his body quivered with the power that went through him. The beam became thicker and the shield shatters! A powerful stream of energy surged through Custer's body, and a huge flash of light lit up everything around him. Hector closed his eyes. At the last moment, he notice that there were tears in the dragon's eyes…
- NOOOOOOOOO…
From overexertion, Hector lost consciousness. He has a dream where he still live under the mountain, and the mice began to mock him again. But now ... Hector has begin to grow in his sleep. He grow up to these giants and outgrow them. They clung to him, told him how pathetic he was, but gradually they became so tiny…
Hector open his eyes. He fell asleep on the amulet! Around him stretched the cosmic distances. Planets, systems, galaxies...it is so beautiful...but so empty ...
"I won."
Hector was happy. He saved the entire universe from Custer's tyranny!
"Did you get enough time for a sleep?"
Hector started involuntarily. In his sleep, he has forgotten who had helped him! A silver dragon, tiny as a bug, hovered in front of him.
"The God of Power...
"Is that what you call me? You can call me DragonUp, you’re a big savior."
- DragonUp ... thank you for your help! I owe you a great debt…
The dragon chuckle.
"You two were great! Watching your battle of dimensions was just amazing! It's been a long time since I've seen such a battle! "
"We? Where is this one? Blue…"
"Custer? Well if you really interesting of it…"the God chuckle again, "you've...overdone It a little…"
"What do you mean? Hasn't it shrink enough? "
"No, he has shrink! So much that it became the size of a flea! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, he really pissed you off!"
Hector laughed, too.
"However...he is still one of my admirers..." DragonUp's voice became more serious. Hector tensed. Whatever God's verdict is, he will have to accept it…
"We need to give it back its size. He wanted power for the same reasons as you...what's your name?"
"Hector, The Smallest Mouse…"
The dragon laugh again.
"Are you kidding? You are bigger than any other mouse in this world! Now, you're different!"
"Yes, it's just ... it's hard to get rid of old wounds…Wait, are you really a God?"
"What?"
"You're too small to be a…"
Suddenly Hector's face was buried in something. Looking up, he saw the huge face of a grinning dragon. He grow up so fast that mouse's face has buried in his huge chest! In the blink of an eye, the dragon was ten times bigger than it was!
"Now I look more like a God, then?" – it was more a jocular threat than anything to be afraid of.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!"
"Nothing! I wanted to show you my strength anyway."
The dragon also shrink rapidly, becoming the size of a Hector. True, the God isn’t so small now as when he first appeared – his biceps is even bigger than a mouse's!
"Sooooo, what are you planning to do now, big guy?"
"Um...I ... I wanted to be Alaisia's protector, but ... since you came back…"
"I didn't come back! It's not even my world! "
"But ... How? Aren't you a God?"
"God, but ... not in this world...let me tell you…"
DragonUp snap his fingers. Hector felt his body begin to shrink at a breakneck speed and drift away from the space…
When he came to, he found himself standing next to a dilapidated mountain. But now it was not a giant, the size of a mountain, but only 20 meters high. From fatigue and attraction, Hector fell on his backside.
A dragon was already sitting on a rock nearby. He took a deep breath of fresh air and let it out with equal gusto.
"Ah, beautiful evening weather! Are you ready to listen?
"Yes, just a little ... unexpected to be here again after space…"
"It's always happens when you grow the first time. You realize that the world around you is bigger than you see, and it blows your head off! Come on, let me tell you a story…"
Hector settled back and listened.
"I got bored in my own world once. Nothing was happening there yet, so I decided to go to another universe. So I opened the portal and found myself in the pouring rain!
"Well," I thought then, " the new world welcomes me well!
"Then I decided to walk to the nearest shelter from the rain. However, it was not my fate to walk then – I heard a voice. Thin, begging for help. I decided to find the source, and I found a tiny green lizard. It was so small that at first I thought it was a large worm! But she wasn't intimidated by my size; in fact, she reached out to me!"
"And then I realized that I had forgotten to hide my halo! The lizard must have taken me for a God from this world! Well, I'll give her my blessing and go and see where I am. I held out my hand and she climbed up. It weighed almost nothing! I held it up to my eyes so that I could see it more closely and hear what it was saying. It fell right in my hand on my lap! I didn't mind, of course, but it confused me. "
"Great God of Power, you have come!"
"Yes, little one, I have come to your call! I replied then, feeling ill at ease. Good grief, I hope the real God of Power doesn't get mad at me! "
"The gods have left the world, but you have answered my prayers!"
"Oh, that's all right, then! I thought, but the answer is this: "
"How could I refuse those in need? Would a real God do that? "
"No, no, no, please don't be angry! My faith in you is stronger than ever! the poor man was shaking like a leaf. Either from fear, or from being soaking wet. I decided to warm it and covered it with my hand."
"Well, don't worry. So, what are you asking me?
"I'm weak, and I haven't eaten for a long time. Therefore, I’m so weak that I have not been able to get food for many days. Those who are bigger than me ... they take away even the crumbs that I have obtained...I am so exhausted that I have lost my strength...and I began to pray to you, because...I have lost all faith in myself ... please help me…"
"Well, I guess I'm on time, I thought. He reminded me of a friend of mine...but let's continue! "
"I calmed the lizard. I said that I would help and, looking around, I saw a tree under which I decided to wait out the rain. I built a small fire and used my fiery breath to light it. The lizard was delighted with all this! I also decided to feed the poor guy and mentally looked for some food nearby. I didn't have to look for long – I teleported to my hand a handful of ripe cherries and a huge fish from the river. I think that's enough for her to eat. "

"All the while Hector listened and imagined the story. So it turns out that this story is real! "

"The baby was eating so hard that it was cracking behind her ears! Her stomach was so swollen that I began to worry that it might burst. Anyway, I decided to follow the lizard and spend the night with it. She bowed me out again and was getting ready for bed when a great idea came to me. While the lizard was preparing for sleep, I touched the ground and found various precious stones and metals deep inside and teleported them into my palm. Using magic, I created an ornament – a small Golden amulet, slightly larger than the one for the lizard. I have put some of the power of this world into this trinket. When I began to search in this direction, I discovered that the Gods had indeed left this world. They just died and gave their power to the world. No one believed in them, and without faith, any God will start to feel ...unnecessary and slowly dies."
"I would like to give you this gift! – I was still trying to seem like a very cool God. "
-You're really cool! You saved that lizard from starvation, and you helped me defeat the evil dragon…"
"Really? Well ... thank you..., - DragonUp blush a little from the praise, "Anyway, the lizard was specifically shocked by my kindness. As soon as she touched the amulet, she began to change. Her muscles began to grow, and she began to stretch in stature! I've seen it a hundred times, but ... every time it's like the first time! It has almost doubled in size and is much stronger than she was before. She bowed to me again and finally fell asleep. "
Since then, I've decided to keep an eye on her. I watched her from invisibility and wanted to know what she would do with her new power. At first, she used the force only for its intended purpose-to get food and fight off those who used to offend her. You should have seen the faces of those lizards that saw before them a huge, muscular relative!
But then, after a few days, the lizard began to grow larger. She got tired of dealing with small animals and started attacking larger ones herself. As she grew, her appetite increased. She was already hunting deer that she could carry with one hand. It was a magnificent sight, but her greed for power didn't stop there.
It grew larger and larger. Soon she was eating the animals just throwing them into her mouth entirely! She reveled in her own strength and the weakness of others…I didn't see how it ended, because...let's just say one person was very unhappy that I was out of the world for a whole week. But since the dragon had the amulet, it seems to me that it didn't end well for that little girl."
"The amulet was split almost in half. That dragon restored it and wanted to become the master of the universe…"
"Oh, what appetites he had! Well, I'm glad it all ended so well!"
- So…can I be Alaisia's Protector?"
"Give me my amulet!"
Hector sighed and handed the amulet to the dragon. There is no choice, the word of God, though otherworldly, is law. Apparently, he will not become a Defender…
DragonUp took the amulet in both hands. He closed his eyes and begin to do something with the amulet. Green lightning flickered all over his body. From all sides to the amulet began to reach streams of power directly from the air. Suddenly, the dragon pointed the amulet directly at Hector's chest and fire. Power surges through his body, but...it was something else. The force did not seek to do anything to him, it flowed around him, was inside him, it is...his!
"I was channeled the power of the amulet and a little more power from the past Gods into your body. I think you're tired of someone taking this stupid amulet out of your hands."
Hector almost choke with happiness. Now he feel stronger than when he held the amulet in his hands! So that's it…
"So now I'm…"
"Now you are the new God of Power in this world!"
"But ... am I worthy of such power? I... "
"Hector," the dragon tapped him on the shoulder, " You have a big heart. You survived your miserable existence as the smallest mouse! Yet you are kind at heart. You are worthy of this power! "
"I " Hector began to cry with happiness, " This is the greatest gift of all! Now no one will be deprive in all of Alaisia! I will do everything to make everyone happy…"
"I'm sure you can do it…Oh, shit, I'm late! I must run! "
DragonUp utter some words and a purple portal appeared right in front of him.
"I'm sorry to say good-bye in such a crumpled way, but there's one red person who can't stand long separations. And yes, don't forget to find that blue...Custer? Yes! All good luck to you! "
The dragon disappear into the portal, and the gap between the worlds closed immediately. Hector stood there for another minute before realizing that he was gone.
"It's so lonely to be alone. I'll have to find some friends…Exactly, Verkis! I should find him and make friendship, I think he will not mind! Or find a spouse by force? Hmm…"
Then Hector's thoughts about life is interrupt by a big crash. The mouse look around and notic a huge brown foot. Exactly, the two dragons that Samir left behind!
"Well, from today...the world has a new God and Protector!"
Hector chuckled and used the force to fly into the air and begin to soar. It was a wonderful feeling of flight, only dragons know it...and the Gods!
"It's time to restore order in this world..., " the mouse grinned, "now everything will be different…"

Hector, the Strongest mouse in the World.

THE END
