A golden dragon who did not share the humans' understanding of magic, the same dragon that ended my underpowered life, was sitting peacefully about three meters away from me.
It did not take me long to figure it out, the un-hatched eggs it guarded were a dead giveaway, I was inside his.... no, HER nest.
Was I one of those eggs she guarded when she killed my old self? Would my third life be that of a dragon, RAWR? It somehow felt different from that, I failed to understand how, just knew it to be so.
I was not sure why I did not notice her right away, but a simple looking teenage girl was standing only a step from me. Seeing how the awake dragon paid no attention to this weird girl, I could tell somehow she was not a human.
She held some small black device against her ear.
"Mom, I know....I know already will you relax, this is not my first time doing this.........agh, why do you always have to bring that up..... IT WAS ONLY THAT ONE TIME!", she lowered her voice and added, " and the one before that... ok so I might not have the best track record, but that does not mean it will happen again....
Mom!!! I know our family reputation depends on me passing this test .... Aghh!!! I know you pulled a special favor to give me this chance..... I know, I won't skew up again. "
After talking to someone on the end of what could only be assumed to be a cell phone, the teenage girl looked at the black device in her hand and remarked in a sarcastic voice, "Gee, thanks for push of confidence."
Holding the object in both hands, her fingers vanished in a blur as they went to a much familiar action from my first life.
"So what if I have made some small mistakes in the past, to begin with she was the one who insisted on me taking this job. Aghh!!! She makes me SOOOO mad."
She continued taping at the innocent device with an even greater speed and force.
"There sent. Now they can't complain about me not doing my job properly." The strangely dressed girl looked for the first time in my direction and added, "Look at the lucky you, not only do you have this beautiful young girl handle your soul, you even get to be reborn as a golden dragon."

The girl I would not call beautiful myself, bent town and patted me. "Grow up to be a strong dragon and maybe one day you can help me with my mo.... you don't look like an egg....."
I could see the girl's expression change into shock and terror unknown to mortal man. "....It can't be....WHY!??!! WHY ARE YOU THERE??!!!"
The teenage girl started pacing from place to place until " AH! I know!"
She chanted something in a language unknown to me and quickly a small parchment appeared in her hand. As I was using a spell to see about, I had no issue of reading what was written there.

She did not spend much time before starting another chant. This time a standard looking HB pencil formed in her free hand.
The teenage girl used the summoned magic tool one can buy at any corner store, to erase the words "Golden Dragon" and wrote something in their place before causing the two items to disappear.
I could see she was content with her quick thinking as she left as well, leaving only the words "Now I won't get into trouble and you get to live for a long time. Everyone is happy in the end. I did a good job, Yep, job well done, nothing to complain about at ALL."
"...." I was lost for words, why oh why did she write that out of all the possibilities.

'Why 'overweight'? Why not 'oversized' or simply 'large'? Did pebbles even have an ideal wait? Would my new life start with a diet???' Were the thoughts that rushed my soul's mind.
