About worlds in search of fun

The Void

Within it resided a colossal dragon, a being of immense size and breathtaking beauty. Its body shimmered with a crystalline blue hue, and its golden eyes shone like stars.

This dragon found himself gazing upon a magnificent white dragon composed of ghostly nebulae. The white dragon was asleep, smaller in size than the enormous blue one, yet still immensely grand.

The white dragon suddenly opened its eyes, confusion swirling within them. It looked at the enormous blue dragon before it.

"Mm, you woke up, little one. That's good." The white dragon was momentarily stunned by the voice but quickly composed himself.

"Excuse me, are you… are you a dragon, or am I delusional?"

—HA, HA, HA, I am little, my name is Veldanava. Tell me what your name is?—

The white dragon was stunned by his claim of being a dragon, meaning his delusions were not delusions. "I don't have a name… or at least not anymore." Veldanava was intrigued but decided to leave it for later.

"Since you don't have a name, let me give you one." After a few seconds, he found a name. "Well, from now on, you will be called Velzarion."

The moment Veldanava named the white dragon Velzarion, he felt the name engraved deep within his being. Smiling, he thanked Veldanava. "Thank you, Veldanava. I like it."

Veldanava smiled in agreement and asked a question that had been on his mind. "Tell me, Velzarion, how did you get here? It is impossible for a being to be reborn in the void."

—I don't remember much. I remember dying of old age. I moved away from the city at age 40 to retire and lived in the mountains alone with a farm and a dog as a companion.— Velzarion remained silent for a few moments.

—I never had a wife or children. My parents died a long time ago. I only had myself and nothing else. Then I only remember dying from asphyxiation because I suffered from asthma—.

Veldanava found his past somewhat sad, but he didn't understand those human feelings. At least, he would try.

"The important thing is that now you can continue living, from scratch. And maybe one day you can find your loved ones in the world."

Velzarion smiled at Veldanava's words and nodded.

"That's right. Something tells me that I will be able to do it one day. But for now, I need to know what to do. Plus, I feel a connection with you, like something familiar."

Veldanava smiled at the last part. "That's because we are brothers, even if it's not by blood, we are of the same race. That connection is the proof."

—Wow, am I a dragon like you? But why don't I feel my body?—

Veldanava nodded and explained. —True dragons embody fundamental concepts of existence. They are immortal because even if the soul is destroyed, they will be reborn in another place, although with memory loss—. Waiting for him to absorb his words, Veldanava continued.

"As for why you don't feel your body, it's because you don't have one. It's disconcerting that your being is abstract, but I know that you embody the concept of dreams. Although I feel something else inside you… but I don't know what it is."

Velzarion was stunned by the last part. Even Veldanava was thoughtful at this, but after a moment, he composed himself.

"But in the future, we will know. Because you embody the dream concept, your true body changes depending on the perspective. But if you want to create a body, then just think about it."

Velzarion was taken aback. —Just think about it?— to which Veldanava nodded.

"Okay, just think about it…" And with his thought, the body that used to be pure nebula began to change, growing bones and flesh in an instant.

Pristine white scales formed, a head emerged from the immense body with two black and white horns and golden eyes with a vortex in the center, similar to nebulae.

Velzarion wanted to see himself in his new body and immediately a large mirror appeared, giving him a view of the immense body. It looked beautiful, white with a black chest, with four legs and two wings on the sides. His eyes, with their swirling vortex, were truly shocking.

Smiling, he turned to Veldanava, who looked at him with a satisfied expression. "It was easier than I thought it would be. Now what should we do?"

Veldanava thought for a bit before saying, "I don't know. I was bored, so I thought I would create worlds, watch them grow, and maybe learn something from them. What do you say?"

Velzarion smiled at her words. "It's perfect for developing my skills."
