As the shade of the dense canopy from ancient trees above shielded him from the sunlight, a slight wave of relief rolled over him. He now felt safe, less exposed. He slowed his sprint and came to a stop in the middle of a dense pathway at the mouth of the forest.
He didn't understand. Before everything was simple; Just live, eat, survive. But now? Waves of emotions and thoughts swirled over him, fighting for their dominant place. Catching his breath, he squinted and tried to remember anything beyond the last few moments, yet nothing came to mind. How long had he forgotten who he was? Did he ever know? He took a look around and now tried to figure out *where* he was. Silence, but for the occasional ebb and flow of the forest. The world had such a strange and alluring sense of being, one he had never thought of before. Why had he never noticed? The more he tried to make sense of anything, the more questions end up piling. A rising panic made its way to the forefront of himself. He swallowed it down and stopped his mind from racing.
The deep stems of an enormous tree stood before him, and a breeze gently rustled through the trees like a reassuring lullaby. It looked like it would make for a comfortable resting spot. The verdant dragon had so many pressing questions about himself and his surroundings, but they would have to wait. His exhaustion would be getting the better of him if he didn't rest.
He let his mind drift away from his concerns and worries. As he fell into a peaceful sleep, a single desire filled his mind and body instead. The desire to grow.
In a flash he was startled awake from his own body violently pushing aside the forest that had provided comfort to him moments before. Before his mind could catch up to what was happening, his body expanded and surged to immense sizes. Covering hills, then valleys, then dwarfing mountains. Shocked at the sudden event, he could do nothing but stare at his monstrous size in comparison to the world around him. As panic began to rise within him again, a new emotion began to swirl itself among the concoction of other emotions.
Elation.
A bit of an introduction for the world building I've done for Veristos. Been quite excited to get this one done! I mentioned in his ref sheet that he's a dragon that has the ability to change his himself and his surroundings through deep feelings and desires, and here is the first time he realises he can do this by complete accident. He wont be this big normally, but he could always get this big if he so desired.
I know this is a bit different from what I usually draw but I do hope you can indulge my world-building a bit, and perhaps share in the joy yourself.
