Preface
On Draco Space Station, a dragon shifter wants to spread his wings …
on Earth.
Arcadian Savoy III hears a greater destiny calling him, calling him to the place he belongs, to a purpose worthy of his superiority … and his heart. Unfortunately, he’s chained to Draco Station for life unless he can find a way to get free.
Modified genetically by a gene editing cocktail, Arcadian is more than a dragon shifter, he’s a unique creature with abilities his creators didn’t imagine.
Getting free of Draco Station is only his first challenge.
In this short story prequel, step into a spin-off from the world of Dreya Love!
Chapter One
Draco Space Station Orbiting the planet Draco Prime
Arcadian Savoy III gazed at the endless expanse of open space from the observation deck on Draco Station. The view of deep space inspired and enthralled many. Some it drove mad. For Arcadian, the sight filled him with claustrophobic anxiety and lonely despair.
He flexed his hands into fists at his side and slowed his breath before he lost control and shifted. A silent scream rose from his heart and echoed into his mind.
I want out of here!
The urge to flee, to shape shift, break open his great dragon wings and fly away rippled down his back, daring him to act, driving him to find a way off Draco Station.
Somehow, he vowed, I will find a way.
He relaxed his clenched hands and took a deep breath. He’d experienced one miracle in his life, a scientific miracle from the laboratories of Pantheon allowing him to shift into a dragon with gold and blue scales and a ten-foot wingspan. That miracle gave him lungs capable of breathing the toxic atmosphere of Draco Prime. That miracle put a ten billion-dollar price tag on his life.
One I have to pay back.
But the profound nature of his new identity, his new awareness, eclipsed the ten billion-dollar value. That miracle did more than expand his physical realm, it expanded his understanding of himself and created a new role for his abilities as a dragon shifter. From the moment he first opened his wings, a primal need to find the place he belonged was born, along with needing a purpose beyond mining vulkillium.
He needed his freedom from Pantheon to explore this new identity. But he didn’t think Pantheon gave a damn about his newly discovered awareness and need for purpose. He laughed with derision. “Pantheon, a heartless corporation with the motto Where Gods Gather ~ Redefining Humanity’s Boundaries Through Science, has only one care in the world.”
The bottom line.
“Ha! What do they care about me?” The irony burned his heart with gall, but he refused to accept defeat. He just needed another miracle. And where there was one, another would come. Until then, his life belonged to Pantheon and to Draco Station.
When he agreed to the DNA altering cocktail, he’d asked Dr. Foster, “Am I going to be the best?” But he knew the answer. He’d be as good as Draco could currently produce, but not the best; the best had only come from Dr. Anthony Lazar, who’d left Draco over a year before.
“We’ll fix you up, Arcadian. You’ll never regret this,” Dr. Foster replied.
At first, the doctor was to be believed. During recovery from his dragon transformation, it became apparent his genetics melded well with the new editing. Immediately, his musculature expanded in both human and dragon form.
When he opened his wings, they snapped like a flag in the wind. His chest expanded, and his legs thickened with muscle and bone. He glanced over his shoulder at the lab techs who monitored this phase of the process from the observation window. Innately he understood just how much stronger, how much smarter, and how much faster he was than all of them.
You don't know what you’ve created.
The thought was the genesis for his new awareness. Initially, pride in his genetic improvements was the octane for his life. Being one of the few who could shift to dragon to mine vulkillium made his heart scream with superiority … until the trips to the surface became drudgery.
Eventually, he understood that Foster, as with any mouthpiece for a corporation, had lied, and regret came for Arcadian in great waves.
While his ability to shift into dragon remained a thrill, the rules that came with the package were strict. Wings were added because they came with expanded lung capacity,
