Azura's Dream

Azura found herself in the same dream that she has had over many nights. Staring at a mirror, looking at herself, Azura saw only a dragon. A celestial dragon with bright, blue eyes, a golden mane, whispers, claws and golden hair at the tip of the tail and under the armpits. The scales were a darker blue with hints of red in the crevices of the scales. This being looked so beautiful, strong and graceful, something Azura was not. She was confused by why she was seeing herself as a dragon. However, instead of ignoring this fact, she wanted to find out more.

"Follow my voice, Azura," The deep, gentle voice beckons from afar. She turned her head and saw a large, golden door. "You have been putting this off for far too long, youngling. You have a destiny to fulfil ahead of you."

Azura had no idea what this being was trying to tell her. She was tempted to cut the dream short and wake up, but she walked towards the door for the first time in years. She was nervous as she walked towards the door, along with the strange and, yet normal, feeling of walking on four paws. The door opened, and Azura widened her eyes as she saw a courtyard of what looked like an ancient Japanese palace. It was beautiful!

There was a lush garden full of nature, she could see, hear and smell every little critter in the garden. There was a large water feature of a dragon spouting water into the natural lake as she walked over a stone bridge. She smiled as this was just beautiful. She looked ahead to see a golden, bark tree with white flowers growing on the stems.

She didn't know why she never proceeded, this was just so beautiful. It was night with a large, full moon looking down on her. There was also a mountain towering over with smoke floating from the top, and strangely, with snow surrounding the mountain itself. It really felt like a fantasy world to her.

"I see you are in love with the place." Azura looked around to try and find the owner of the voice. "I made sure that it was something you would like and feel like it was not something to fear. Seems like I did a good thing." She still could not find the owner of the voice. "Look at the tree. I am near."

Azura looked at the tree and she frowned when she saw no one. However, walking from behind the tree was another dragon. She widened her eyes as this celestial dragon was all white and it was glowing a ghostly white, but it was not frightening. The aura she felt was warmth and kindness, and she felt like she's met him before.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Azura," He spoke kind with a smile. "I am Primus." Azura widened her eyes in surprise. "It is long overdue that we meet. Though your young mind is full of pain and fear, that I completely understand."

"P-Primus?" Azura was in disbelief as she stared at him. "But...aren't you...Cybertron's deity?"

He chuckled softly at the girl's nervous question. "That I am. Though I do believe this form is less intimidating than what I actually looked like many years ago. Not having a body to hold me back from achieving important things has been a positive. However, I sadly cannot interfere with the war going between the autobots and decepticons."

Azura still did not understand. "But...why are you here? I am not Cybertronian. I'm a human girl, left abandoned by her parents. Unless this is about my ability to manipulate elements...I guess I can accept it."

"My dear youngling, I have no doubt you are full of questions," Primus said in a gentle voice. "It is true that you possess an amazing ability, and that is why I am here. I am here to help you master that before you learn to take on your true form."

"My...true form?" Azura looked down at herself and looked back at Primus. "A-Are...you joking?" He shakes his head and Azura scoffed in disbelief. "This is a dream, so why should I believe you?"
