"You wish to gain the knowledge to defeat Astrus in a fight, and for that, you two came to me, am I right?" Both of them nodded as I said. "Okay, as Kay already told you, I will make you grow stronger before you can even meet him. But you still need to know why I'm not the god who takes care of this world, and why I do not just kill Astrus."

I took a deep breat and sat down. "It all started here, where we are standing. This once was a mountain where my father and mother took care of me and my brothers, Astrus was one of them.

We were but mere dragons, living through our lifes, but we started to discover things that we weren't supposed to, and so, we needed to get stronger.

We climbes through the old world, becoming the two strongest dragons of the whole world, but the end was near, and before we could even think, everything turned black.

An giant black dragon emerged from the depths of the earth, contaminating the world with its powers. We managed to kill the monster, but not without a sacrifice." I opened my chest, which revealed my skeleton and, one lung and a heart.

They gasped at the sight, and soon, I closed it. "I was dying, and Astrus couldn't save me. So I gave him my mana pool, and he managed to created a vessel for me, but we couldn't live in this broken world, so he created, with my mana pool, a world where we would rule over, and live. But... The power of owning the power of an god went to his head, and after creating the angels with my mana, he pushed me to the world you live, Yuki."

I picked the small Ice dragon on my hand. "And I found you. Well, I didn't had much of a choice, so I picked the first person I saw" He gave me an nervous laugh, and I just put him on the ground.

"But... How did you manage to live as a dragon without dying? I mean, you did have a son and-"

"I put my soul inside another dragon. You see, when you died, I picked your soul and transfered it to an empty space, where you could go crazy and you would forget everything there, and since you lost track of time, I could live an happy life while still planning to take down Astrus." I replied to Yuki. "Although I didn't plan to have a son too soon. But your grandmother was truly beautiful."

"I see." He said.

"Now, to the hard part now... The training process."

My grandpa then started to explain what we would do for the next 180.000 years... Wait, 180 thousand years?! I- I'm not even a year old on this new world, and it will be just 6 months on my real body, I'm stll going to live 2 thousand more years after that... I will go crazy-

"I can erase your memories if you think you will go crazy, you'll still know how to use mana, but you'll forget everything else." Galenor said, to which I simply nodded.

We then walked towards an symbol on the ground, it was that of an three headed dragon, with two other ones trying to kill it. When grandpa touched it, mana in the shape of an dome engulfed us three, and everything seemed different.

The symbol was gone, and the grass now was green, everything was just like the real world.

"First, we will need to enhance your control over mana. Second, your attack power, and then, your ability to defend yourself from attacks." Galenor started saying, and I simply listened.

He said that we needed to be one with mana, and not use it like an weapon. We are the mana that we control. I tried to think of that way, and when I did, the mana started to flow from my body.

I could shape it whatever I want, turn into any element I wanted. But the most easy to control was, lightning. My mana mark felt like it was going to break free whenever I used it.
