She must know that I am the intruder...
I must kill her before she gives the alert!
I'm about to attack her...
“Don’t worry, we're safe here. It's impossible for the intruder to reach my nest! Well, where were we? ... Oh yes, you were going to tell me why you had two different voices.” Said Princess Avia.
Huh?
Is she stupid or is she pretending?
Maybe I was too careful. It's a magical beast after all, not a human...
“It looks like she has the intelligence of a child! She reminds me of my little brother... He was as naive as her...” Amelia told me.
“We were lucky to meet her and not one of her sisters.” I said.
Anyway, I can’t stay here anymore. The longer I stay, the more likely I am to be spotted. In addition, there is only ‘3 hours and 26 minutes’ left to complete the quest...
By the way, maybe Princess Avia knows where the lykanoss’ territory is and can guide me there.
But how can I ask her without her suspecting me of being the intruder?
Hmm...
“Sorry but we can’t stay longer. We must find our family in the lykanoss’ territory. Do you know the way?” I said.
“What? Already? I don’t know where the lykanoss’ territory is. I have never left the territory of my race, so I don’t know the outside world... However, I know how to leave the maze! But ... Hum ... How to say?”
A maze?
Oh, so all these cobwebs formed a maze. No wonder I got lost...
She seems reluctant to keep talking...
“You want something in return, right?” I said.
“It's just... I want you to stay a little longer to play with me! My... My sisters never spend time with me. Mother always says I'm weak. I never have anyone to play with...” said Princess Avia.
Play with her? I really feel like talking to a child. It could have been the case if she had been completely human. Well, no. She looks like a girl in her twenties...

“Poor little girl... We can play a little with her, can’t we?” Said Amelia.
*Sigh* I guess I have no choice...
“Fine... But I decide the game we're going to play.” I said.
“It's okay with me!” Answered Princess Avia.
I already have an idea of a ‘game’ that will allow me to learn more about her.
“Good. Here is the rule of the game: each turn we will ask a question about each other. The first who can’t, or doesn’t want to answer, has lost! If I win, you will show us how to leave the maze.” I said.
“Alright! But if it's me who wins then... Hum... You stay playing with me until tonight!” She said.
“It's okay with me. But no cheating, we must be honest. Plus, no negotiations even if you lose at the first question... I start first...” I said.
“Kyle, are you sure about that? We don’t know much about the origins of this body. We're not going to tell her we're from another world, are we?” Amelia told me.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” I replied.
“First question: what is the name of the world in which you were born?” I said.
“Easy! Mother told me when I was younger. This world is called Thersa!” She answered.
Huh? She told me she didn’t know anything about the outside world. I thought she was going to lose... At least I learned an important information...
“It's my turn! Let's see... I guess dragons have a name too. My question is: what’s your name?” Continued Princess Avia.
My name?
“My name is…”
Wait a minute! Amelia and I call each other by our respective names but we don’t have a name as a dragon...
“So? ... You don’t want to tell me your name? In that case, you lost!” Said Princess Avia.
“Wait! Give me a minute please.” I said.
“Kyle, why don’t we just tell her our names?” Amelia told me.
“I don’t want her to know that we are two different people. And we still need a name for this body anyway.” I said.
“In that case, let's choose a name!” She said.
“It's not that simple...” I said.
“That's right, we need a name that sounds cool! A name like Deathwing or Alduin... Oh no, those ones are already taken... Why not... Hum... Dermiak!” Said Amelia.
Dermiak? It's not so bad... But we can’t choose a name so quickly...
Do you want to choose ‘Dermiak’ as your new name?
(Your choice is final)
Huh?
Oh no, not this stupid system...
“What do you think of the name I chose?” Said Amelia.
I didn’t want to choose so quickly, but…
“Dermiak is not a bad name. Let's choose it.” I said.
Congratulations! Your name is now ‘Dermiak’!
