Day 71
Apparently shapeshifting is a thing.
I had expected the dragon to blow fire breath or whatever, but instead it rolled to its feet and padded over to the tunnel, peering in with one enormous eye. I didnt dare try to close it up at that point, since I got that sa sense of near-pain from it as I had from the knights. Sothing with a lot of power.
Then it just...shimred and turned into so sort of scaled amazon. Just under three ters tall, muscled, armored, wide-hipped and big-breasted, still with wings and horns and muzzle. The form wasnt even trying to be demihuman, fully embracing scales and other such dragonlike features. She - at that point it was clear this was a she - climbed into the tunnel and began casually sauntering up.

Those were big numbers. Those were very big numbers. This Ansae was an entity several ranks above my previous bar for horrifically powerful people, and I was pretty sure that dropping ten tons of rocks on her head would just annoy her.
I didnt want to annoy her.
But she wasnt trying to hurt . In fact, she was just wandering through the tunnels Id made without any hurry whatsoever, horns nearly scraping the ceiling. It drove ho how large Id gotten, because at her pace she was wandering for hours before she even got to the first farms.
By that point Id fairly well gotten over the initial terror of disturbing sothing nigh unto a god, and itd faded into a low-grade wariness. I was also sowhat nonplussed that I could pay attention to her, to Shaymas idle conversations with her fellow refugees, and to the continuing expansion of my real estate at once. Sohow, it seed, I could spread myself out that much without losing focus.
Well, it wasnt like I was actually human, so I could bla that. And level-ups, maybe.
Interestingly, Ansae seed fascinated by the farms, though honestly they were fairly boring rooms full of various chrystheniums and grasses, so with lava and so with ice. Id just gridded out a lot of room for pure resource creation, rather than trying to make it at all appealing. But she still prowled through the lava and ice, completely unaffected by either, plucking a flower here and there.
The dragon had a full bouquet by the ti she made it up out of the tunnels and into the lake room, looking around at the building fronts Id started. Sothing flashed out from her, not a physical thing but a sort of flickering sensation, and I tried to focus on it, chasing it as she scanned the buildings.
[Mana Sense] learned.
150 experience gained.
Suddenly everything I could see blazed at once, and the fugue took again.
