The Past Years 

4 years has now pasted I am 8 years old. The last four years have been quite eventful. So I’ll summarize them.

Two days after my parents arrival the hellish Daylid training began. It was everything from Cooking to Weapon mastery. Magic was left out until I was able to be in my dragon form. Why? They told me that magic was one of the Daylids absolute advantage above dragons. They are initially born with less intelligence and wisdom than dragons but this is because their elf form is the average of a Dragon and elf. Thus when a Daylid reach its dragon form stage its health, intelligence, mana and wisdom increased tenfold. This is why they can be superior but if you forcefully start your mana flow before the stats will stay the same as your inborn stats. This was a problem for the first generations of Daylids and later they discovered the problem and every member that activated their mana flow before that became outcast and started to live as elves.

My current schedule consisted of quite a lot with only ten hours of free time on the seventh day. The first day I was to practice martial arts for defense, simple attacks and counter attacks. The whole day but father my current teacher implanted all the knowledge into my mind and I got a few skills.

This was because the dragons had a belief similar to a flow of the world thus they practice these martial arts when they could morph into a humanoid shape. Pretty much all dragons could morph into a human shape but Daylids had two bodies and could die twice since the dragon and elf body where two whole different bodies. That’s quite cool only that the dragon society always held an execution when a Daylid lost one of its body. This was because the dragons though it was unfair when they killed one of their nemesis and they were a Daylid the Daylid could later do a comeback thus the dragons and Daylid issued rights which evened this out. This came to be known as the Foundation law of the dragon society and since the ancient time this has been the reason for dragons and Daylids to coexists. More on this later.

New Skill : Body ControlThis skill increases you control of your body and now adds the stat flexibility to your status.

New Skill : Ancient Martial artThis type of martial art is very beneficial. It strengthen your body mind and soul. You will also be able to perceive the flow of mana, also known as Mana detection. This unlocks the stat mind, and the skill concentration. This skill does not level since its ancient knowledge and change the internal structure of mana flow. Thus you are incapable to executing an incantation. Absolute Magic manipulation has reached LV.1 because of your actions.

(A/N: This would mean that the mana flow is more stable thus it won’t just float around in the body but have a flow and this is the effect of Absolute mana manipulation.

I told father about it and he was surprised. He told me that I should not know of these things before I could take my dragon form. He also told me that the ordinary races could only achieve this by training their appraisal skills for years. That’s why they have created an appraisal crystal (A/N: Not so original but someone was confused about the status magic/examine thing so this is the explanation.) and almost all adventuring people carries one. Because of this he told me to not at any circumstance try to control my mana.

The second day I was to receive practice with swords and other weapons. This training was also held by my father. I got the basic skills like, Sword, spear bow, daggers and fans. The fans was my personal favorite why? They just didn’t seem logical at all.

(A/N: No need for boxes and stuff here.)

 Mother was nowhere to be seen during the days and came back at nights. She was the chef of the house now. The food she cooked was mainly raw meat but to my surprise it was tastier than cooked meat. Must be a dragon thing. The sleeping arrangement was like it usually is. Dad sleeps on the platform and mother and I occupies the huge bed in the supreme emperor’s bedroom. I wonder how dad could sleep outside. Maybe he was in dragon form I would really like to see it but when you are a cuddle toy for someone with inhuman strength, it’s impossible to go and look at it. I forgot to mention earlier but I have night vision now. It was like seeing stuff on the day only it had an extra shade of red.

My schedule was the same as the first two days for a week and when I was doing meditative practice on the platform I could feel a unfamiliar feeling swelling in my chest. My mana core was forming. This is not a solid core but the place where most mana is stored. This is the signal for my dragon form taking shape. A white light gathered around me and I was now in a sort of cocoon with a ball shape.

A window appeared in my mind.

Dragon Form UnlockedYou are now able to take you dragon form:

You are a Celestial Dragon

Celestial dragons are the only being to absolute affinity to everything. They are also the only being to have affinity for time magic. This type of dragon are only in the legends but when they appear they usually have a heavy curse dragging them down.

Celestial Dragon Curse Removed : You are the Dragon Goddess

Another window pops up.

New Type of Dragon : Choose species nameThe name can be chosen at a later date.The celestial dragons name was given by God Almighty, thus you are able to choose your species name since you are the first to exist.

Ohh, this is nice but I have no idea what name I would give this type of dragon which is overpowered to the core. I even got the curse removed.

After thinking for a while my body started to hurt. When I say hurt its more like having every organ crushed then every bone broken one by one and then only your soul left. After some time I can feel two bodies taking form and this was also an unbearable pain. Since it was forced and against the laws of nature I have to pay the price. I think this is because of my type of dragon and not a trait to all Daylids.

I could see my bodies taking form even thought I experienced unbearable pain when my previous body disintegrated. I had a clear mind and was able still able to focus. My elven body grew back just the same except the hair that previously was rainbow colored was now pure white with a silk like gloss to it. My skin was still white but was still to an healthy extent.

Just beside my body I could see a dragon taking form. It was huge compared to my elf form. It was like these Chinese dragons without legs. It was like a long serpent body but with much more durable scales. The body was over a 100 meters long. Maybe a 1000 I couldn’t be sure. Its scale was Pure white with the rainbow colors on some edges. The body had two huge wings which could probably shelter the whole body. It was beautiful, almost unexplainable. When the two bodies had taken form they started to merge but only the dragon’s body could be seen. Just after they merged the dragons body started to move towards me or I started to move towards it. Right now it was after all an empty shell.

My soul entered the body and I could fell the new edges of my body like you put on a tight shirt or a pair of tight pants. All this happened in the cocoon which was had a yellow light around it.

The light faded and I could see the temple again. Now not only father but mother had arrived and was both shocked and filled with excitement. Even father couldn’t remain his totally indifferent face. My body now toke up the entire space of the platform and was coiled in circles upon itself.

“Ohh, this was unexpected” Mother said. She clearly wanted me to be whatever she was.

“Now Fuji don’t be disappointed, she is not close to me either.” Father said when he had recovered to some extent from the shock.

“Ryuu please change back, you’re huge. I can’t hug you…” Mother said anxiously.

I tried to change my expression to say how. But I don’t think I can, after all I’m a freaking dragon now. I myself was extremely excited but I couldn’t speak so I wanted to change back.

“Just try to sense your other body, now hurry. I can’t even hug you in my dragon form.” She said as if it was unbearable to wait any longer.

I tried to sense my other body as she said. I wasn’t able to clearly sense it but after some time I could clearly sense it. Next problem, how do I switch? In my mind was my body in a lotus position.

I started to transform or morph back to my original body. I was relived. My dragon body was huge and not very comfortable. I have to familiarize myself with it later.

“Sweetie, your dragon form was huge just now” Mother said while hugging me, a bit too tightly. “You’re as huge as father in his dragon form. A hatchling usually is only a few meters long after they take their dragon form and your father is a king sized dragon.”

This would explain some of their shock just now. After all my body was a bit even in my opinion and it was my own.

After that we had a small celebration of me being able to take dragon form. Then mother took me to the bath. Naturally. She just had to stick to me. She had drunken too much and said that she never wanted to leave me and so on.

After that day my training became stricter. Mother taught me how to use my mana and said that all spells dragon used was ancient ones. They were unable to use the newly created ones but theirs was more powerful but harder to learn. Father taught me about the martial arts with weapons and such.

This continued for two years. Then I started to spar with them. Then it struck me how little I knew about combat. I thought this would be easier but they moved like lighting. I was not able to react in time when they took it to the next level. I don’t even think I improved. This was proven to be the understatement of the year later.

Mom taught me how to cook. First it tasted quite bad. I wanted to test a few of the dishes from earth but mother or someone had taken all the food that was there so for now it was not possible to eat the food that was there before. After a while I got increasingly better at cooking. I think I surpassed even mother, but she never admitted it.

Father taught me more than just martial arts, he told me about the autonomy of dragons. He wasn’t able to tell me about my dragon body’s autonomy but pretty much all the others. Then he started to teach me all kinds of stuff ranging from alchemy to tailoring. I was surprised on how he was able to do all that stuff. I asked him and he answered with “I’ll tell you some other time.” He was a bit secretive and strict during physical training which could be defined as the hellish training mother spoke of before we started to train at all.

Now back to present me.

I was sitting on the platform and meditating. Mother said that having full control of your man increased your power by a lot. So that was what I had done during. My Mana Manipulation was on LV.5 which was good by mother’s standards.

‘Status’ I thought

My stats had increased a lot. I told mother about them before we went to sleep and she was surprised. Then she said “That’s how it should be” half believing me. We didn’t touch that topic again after that.

I detected mother coming closer to me. Since I’ve been able to use mana I was able see mana around me as well as sense it. Mothers was warm and fiery, fathers was cold and Icey.

“Sweetie, you have trained enough we only have two more days we can be with you and I have taught you everything I can teach you. This goes for father as well. Soon you can choose your path” She said serious. “You are dragon royalty and so you will of course be given the choice to be the dragons society’s princess but that is something you should do when you are able to protect yourself. Thus we will give you a weapon of your choice and the history of our Dragon race. You can read about the Daylids as well but that’s not important now.” She continued.

The two days passed quickly, mother was not as cheerful as she was in the beginning. She had started to become colder and colder to me and father. The last year. So she left and didn’t come back after she told me that.

I was sad about it and father actually comforted me. I cried a lot. What was I supposed my mind had an adult’s knowledge but a mind of a childs. He managed to calm me down on the last day. Then he gave me a shit load of books and said.

“Our last gift the knowledge and history of dragons” while pulling out a lot of books from nowhere. Then he changed to the dragon form and flew away.

I was alone and heartbroken. What did I do wrong to make mother so cold to me? Why are Dayids so harsh? Why?

Mother’s POV

Four years have pasted and I really don’t want to leave Ryuu behind. She has been a adorable little child. I have been mentally prepared for this for quite a long time but I’ve become more and colder towards her and Ragnarr. I’ve started to lock my feeling deep inside of me.

First she was like that cute little princess we all heard of. Then I was surprised to see her dragon form. It was beautiful. I’ve never seen anything quite like that. She was even huge. At a King sized dragon size at that. Size also resembles power or potential when we Daylids can take dragon form.

I really hope she won’t have a mental breakdown of us leaving her. That is after all the highest threat for our race.
