Experiments on myself N°1
Day 1
The first thing is to apply the blood on my skin as if it were a moisturizer. The idea is to see if there is any allergic reaction or my body rejects the substance. Sure, I was speeding things up, but I didn't want to die stupidly either. In case of complications I need to be able to cut that part of the body. So the area chosen for sacrifice was the left arm. The right arm is more important and the leg is out of the question. Of course, that's only if the worst comes to the worst, which I hope it won't.
But when I did the tests it became clear that maybe, and I should clarify, just maybe I was being a little paranoid, but no one can blame me. It's dragon's blood, if princesses in stories turn toads into princes, why shouldn't I be wary of dragon's blood? In any case there was no instantaneous result. The blood is very similar to a cream, of course, only in texture, for the smell is not pleasant, although well, maybe I get a softer skin.
"You know... I think you should use your own blood to soften your schemes to see if you can find a partner. No wait, I have an excellent idea. And if we use your blood to soften the skin of the goats and armadillo, wouldn't we be able to capture them? Or better yet, roast them alive"
“Garr”
"Yeah, I also thought it wouldn’t work. I don’t know why you come up with this kind of thing? You can't suggest something so silly and reckless. Learn from me and be smarter. You must take care of your health, you can't go around giving your blood as if it were water. Don't disappoint your ancestors"
“.....”
Swish*
"Hey, that hurts. Apparently, you learned well from the armadillo how to use your tail as a whip. Looks like you can fight him head-on.... Or will you go back to running like before? "
“.....”
Swish*
"Hey, I told you that hurts"
Day 2
The results seem positive, the dried blood created a frosting on the arm that was easy to remove and the skin does not show any allergic reaction or anything negative, although on the other hand it does not show anything positive either. I mean, the skin didn't get any softer and the frost that was created didn't even serve as an epilator. But overall the results are good. If it had resulted in an allergic reaction or something like that, it would have been difficult to move on to the next experiments.
During this time I have followed my daily exercise routine and I am one step away from regaining my previous weight, but I no longer have any illusions that it can be of any use to me in this place. Even in my moment of disillusionment I thought about abandoning the exercises, I mean, if they don't help it's better to do nothing, but that was only for a moment, when I regained my sanity I realized that I must do it for health........ And so that if a son of a bitch wants to eat me, he will only find bones hahahahahahahaha
Experiments on myself N°2
Day 1
Today was the day that I conjectured could change my future. Today I had planned to inject myself with the blood of a dragon, of course those were my plans, but since I don't have anything to use as a syringe, all I could do was open a small wound in my arm. Of course, the left arm. I mean, there's no other option. Besides, today's experiment is a suicide test and I'm likely to be one limb short by the end of the day.
I waited for the bleeding to stop and dropped a few drops on the open wound. To be honest, I was pretty nervous. I mean, with the disappointing previous results, it's likely that nothing will happen, but what if Danamus really is a parasitic dragon? These drops of blood could turn me into a puppet. It's not that I hate Danamus, but I'd like to have my own will so I had planned to cut off my arm the moment it changed color or feel like my body is being invaded.

"Guyar"
"Come on, laugh, but that’s not why I’ll stop taking precautions. You know the old saying: If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad then better safe than sorry"
There was no reaction, the blood just slid down the arm. Even though I waited until the next day, there was no reaction. During this time, I didn't even clean the wound. I wanted results, even if there was a risk of infection. I was mentally prepared to sacrifice my arm, but all my mental preparation was unnecessary, as the wound did not even get infected.
Day 2
As always, it's necessary to replicate the previous experiment to confirm the result, and surprise, surprise again nothing happened. Though, I don't know if getting nothing is a result in itself.I mean, I'm pretty sure if it was the blood of some normal animal right now, I'd at least have an infection. Sure, I have the goats to provide a second variable, but the purpose of my experiments is not to die, it's to find a way to acquire magic. Besides I already eat the meat of the goats, so experimenting with their blood would only be asking for unnecessary trouble.
'What did the plants have that I don't? Besides roots, stem and leaves. Well, they're native and I'm an invader. If animals can use magic, albeit to a lesser extent, it's likely that vegetation can too, but if so, does that mean I need magic to learn magic? That shit doesn't make sense...... right?'
"Tell me, do I need magic to learn magic?"
"...Guyar?"
"Maybe asking someone who has known how to use magic since he hatched how to learn magic isn't the right way to go"
'Maybe I could learn a little by watching the prairie animals use magic, but that would mean taking risks, so it's out of the question, at least until I have no other choice'
"Hey, can you use some of that magic of yours? I don't know, something like-... come to think of it, I’ve only seen you use fire magic and what I guess is vegetable magic. Are you some kind of two element dragon?"
"Rrrrgh"
"Oh! You learned to shake your head, so does that mean you can use more than one element?"
"GRAAAR"
"I understand, but don't act cocky. So far your magic has been a bit disappointing. And if it wasn't for roasting meat it wouldn't have much use, but let's see, create an earth golem"
Zzrraaak*
"OOHH! amazing, so the other elements too?"
"Graaar"
"I understand"
"GAAAAAR"
"Yeah, yeah you are magnificent, nothing can compare to you. Now tell me Mr. Incredible, if you can use more elements, then why do you usually only use two elements?"
“... Gu-”
"Never mind, Could you create the golem again? But this time very slowly so I can see the whole process"
Zzrraaak*
"...."
"Yes now it's clear to me, I don't understand, it doesn't make sense *Haaaaaaa"
It's so frustrating, I mean, the whole process is as simple as a slight bulge forming on the ground like a small anthill. Then the golem takes shape and starts moving, no chants or movements. It's like Danamus isn't doing anything. I don't know if he's actually doing something and hiding it from me or if everything is just so... magical?
Experiments on myself N°2 Test 2
Day 1
Today I decided to be more braver or reckless , it could be either. The idea is to open the wound a little more, so that the flesh of the arm is exposed and so I did. At this rate my pain tolerance will be very high, either that or I will be a masochist. In any case, I cleaned the wound with warm water and added the drops of blood, then covered the wound with some leaves and tied them with a vine.
'I hope I don't suffer from gangrene'
"If it gets infected you'll have to cut it off, but do it painlessly. It's traumatic enough to lose one arm...even if it's the left one. Remember painlessly"
“GUYAR GUYAR”
"Why do I feel like you're enjoying it?"
"Rrrrgh"
"So, I guess it's just my imagination"
"Graaar"
Day 2
The worst didn't happen and I still have my arm, I was pretty worried, I mean, basically I locked my arm with a zombie and it would be a miracle if I didn't get infected in a situation like that, of course, unless the zombie doesn't have a head, which in any case would be a corpse and would still end up infected. What is clear is that not having any result, is a result. Because, of course, the first time I could have been lucky, but after leaving the wound in the heat of the leaves for a whole day and nothing has happened, it's strange.
"Since you're a dragon, is your blood different? I mean, obviously it's different, but why is there no reaction? I'm not even asking for a magical reaction anymore, but at least something"
“...Guyar?”
"Of course, because I am not magic like you, the plants did have modifications so what you are saying is that the plants are better than me. Thank you very much, your kind words are appreciated"
“Guyar”
"Yeah, yeah, it's not your fault that I'm so weak. Come on, keep going, don't worry, curiously I'll need more blood later"
"...."
