Intermission - "Bed"time stories with Chiyoko
Just when you were about to faint, you felt a surge of energy that undoubtedly came from Chiyoko, which brought you back to complete wakefulness.

'Why am I still here? Just to suffer?' You thought.

'I don't actually want you to suffer, Master' She sounded more serious now, but the glowing sphincter not too far away from you at least gave away that she was probably still feeling horny.

'Really? Because you've been crushing me with your fat ass and farting for the last who-knows-how-long...' You replied, and in response your surroundings increased their pressure upon you, fully engulfing you in an ocean of jiggly flesh.

'Ooh. I like it when you try to verbally abuse me' She giggled 'Are you into that, Master?'

'No' You groaned and facepalmed hard.

'I wonder though... You've never given the other girls this much sass, why is it different with me?' She asked with genuine curiosity.

'I dunno what you're talking about, I also tell Lillian she has a big butt and that her gas is terrible' You raised an eyebrow.

'But you do hold back with her. Why not with me is what I wonder'

'Hmm... I think it's because you're not human' You shrugged, after giving it some thought, it made sense that you could more easily call a non-human creature out on their stuff, it wasn't like you had a long standing friendship or a crush that you'd risk losing.

'Oh...' She sounded noticeably saddened. Had you hurt her feelings? Did that even matter? Can one even hurt the feelings of a god-like creature? You didn't know, but felt a twinge of guilt now that you gave it some more thought.

She remained silent, and as her telepathy seemed to be still active, you didn't directly read her thoughts, but you felt her mood shifted to a more meditative one. You also noticed that the low red light that illuminated the place dimmed until it was nearly pitch black around you once more.

'Uh... maybe it's simply because I haven't known you for that long... and that since you're as powerful as a god, anything I tell you would be meaningless, that's kinda how I see it' You added, it had been a sincere opinion, though you didn't want to tell her she was taking things too far anymore.

'Hmm? I guess that makes sense' She perked up, and the now faint red glow intensified a little.
'Hey, Master... I wanna show you something, close your eyes'

'What are you gonna do this time?'

'Nothing! But it'll be pretty cool, trust me!' She said in a pouty tone and despite still not feeling quite trusting of her, given your location, you have her the benefit of the doubt and closed your eyes. You were then surprised to find that Chiyoko had apparently connected your mind to hers on a deeper level, you could see what she visualized.

'There's this old bedtime story they tell us when we're just hatchlings...' Memories of a baby and a toddler version of Chiyoko appeared, and you could see her. She was cute as a baby, a little chubby but that was to be expected from most babies anyway. The adult dragon resembled her a bit, and you weren't sure whether it was her father or mother. You found oddly cute that dragons would tell bedtime stories to their children.
'It goes like this... Once upon a time, there was a young dragoness that wandered across worlds, looking to have fun and to learn new things...'

You found that opening a bit suspicious, but her memories showed you that it was actually what was in the old book her parent read to her, and they even used magic to make the figures come to life.

'One day, she arrived to a world that was shrouded in darkness. The human kingdom there was at war with something, the landscape was desolate, and the people were sad, fearful and miserable...'

'A little dark for a bedtime story, huh' You commented.

'My papa used to say "You need darkness in order to appreciate the light" ' She chuckled, and resumed her storytelling.
'The dragoness flew around and saw that the kingdom was fighting to the last man against an evil force, a wicked goddess, one that had been cast out from her home world and arrived to take her revenge upon the innocent'

You were a little surprised that universe-hopping was apparently a casual thing for dragons to the point they even included it in a tale for their children.

'The high priests, their strongest warlocks, their toughest soldiers, they were all falling left and right like flies' As she narrated it, you saw the animated battle, arguably, it had better special effects and animation than any movie or series you watched, which made you wonder why Chiyoko was so impressed with TV and stuff when they had things that were way better.
'Soon, only a handful of soldiers was left, and they were defending the prince, who had decided he'd either slay the goddess or die trying together with his men. They were no match for the wicked goddess, and when the dragoness arrived only one of the soldiers was still alive... With her powerful flames, the dragoness burned the goddess from behind and as she flew, she rescued the surviving soldier and sliced her arm off with her claws'

'Dragon tales are hardcore' You thought, and she giggled, acknowledging your commentary before she resumed.

'The dragoness made short work of the goddess, but she escaped before she could finish her off, disappearing into the wilderness of the forest, and seemingly vanishing into thin air. The dragoness helped the lone knight rebuild and heal the kingdom, and even though they looked day after day after the evil goddess, she was nowhere to be found'

The "animated" scenes showed that the dragoness helped the surviving knight take the reins, leading his people and doing all the rebuilding that had to be done after the entire kingdom had nearly been razed, and in their day to day activities, you could notice a little bit of a trend.

'Yes, as you were thinking, Master. The young dragoness found herself falling in love with the knight, but they had been told such love could never be, that a dragon could never love a human, for they were mortal and would only live a few decades, whereas the dragoness wouldn't age anywhere near as fast. The elders even told her it was for her own heart's sake that it was best not to get too attached, and the knight himself felt bad, refusing her because that's what everyone kept telling him'

You didn't consider yourself the sentimental type, but either Chiyoko's own sadness leaked into you or the tale itself was getting pretty sad, as the animated scenes depicted and you felt honestly bad for the characters, in particular, the dragoness was heartbroken.

'Still, the poor dragoness kept letting him know she loved him every day, hoping that one day he'd relent, while he kept refusing her hoping one day she'd give up, but the two were very unhappy like this... and then one day, the evil goddess returned. With renewed strength, she singlehandedly waged war on the kingdom, the knight and the dragoness however, were quick to meet her in the battlefield. The knight fought her with a sword and armor that had been both enchanted by the dragoness and blessed by the priests, but even with it, the goddess proved too strong. The dragoness fought her next...'

The animation depicted that to avoid much collateral damage the dragoness took on her human form to fight the goddess. Though she had also used it on their everyday activities that didn't require a lot of strength. The battle between the two was pretty impressive, almost to put most action anime you'd seen to shame.

'The dragoness was stronger, but the goddess fought dirty, and struck her only weakpoint' Chiyoko then paused.
'Do you know which one it was, Master?'

'Huh? I can't imagine what would be a dragon's weakpoint. The eyes? I'm not sure to be honest' You replied. She laughed a little and shook her head.
'Her heart' She revealed the answer, but before you could ask why it was the heart, you saw that the goddess fired a dark energy beam that flew past the dragoness and hit the knight, piercing his chest. Your eyes widened.
'The dragoness was beyond furious, and in her rage, she burned the mad goddess to ash, but before she completely burned out, the wicked goddess told her she'd either have to watch him die in cold blood or she'd have to give up her dragonhood to save his life'

'Whoah'

'The dragoness didn't think twice. He was on the brink of death, and she used a forbidden spell to bring him back from it, at the cost of her wings, which were painfully burned off of her. She cut her arm and bled herself, feeding him her blood while enduring the pain, and little by little, the knight came back to life but at a tremendous cost for the dragoness. She retained her powers, but they were greatly diminished. Her missing wings hurt as if they were still there, and her vitality was badly drained, but she gladly endured all of that'

You simply kept watching and listening.

'After such a grievous sacrifice, the knight finally accepted her affections and nobody in the kingdom dared oppose them. The knight expressed regret, as the dragoness had offered to make him an immortal dragon like she was, but he turned that down, afraid of throwing away his humanity, yet, the dragoness proved to be just as human as he was. They soon discovered the dragoness aged just like people after losing most of her powers, and they lived the rest of their natural lives as happy as they could be...'

'That was... pretty bittersweet' You said.

'So, what do you think, Master?' Chiyoko then asked.
