'Dad':"We just need to register you on the academy.".
Tay:"But isn't he a little too young to go?".
'Dad':"Yeah he is but that's the law, every dragon with horns must go to the academy until his horns are fully grown.".
Synn:"Is it bad?".
'Dad':"No, it just never happened before, the horns only pop out when the dragon has mana circulating on his body, and he got mana after the mana ceremony, and only fifty years after that the horns pop out.".
Synn:"That means i have mana? What is mana?".
'Dad':"Yes you have mana, mana is a second type of energy that allows us to use magic in a simplified way that's it.".
Synn:"So i can use magic? How do i use it?".
'Dad':"You will learn at the academy, for now we will go and make your re-".
'Mom':"Lunch is ready!".
'Dad':"We will go make your registration after lunch, for now lets eat.".
For lunch this time we had a giant fish, his meat was tender and white i used one of his spines to take a piece of meat like a stake it was easily twice my size so it make it easier, after lunch we got out to the academy, arriving there we stand in front a giant doble wooden door even for my father, when we entered there was a large room with a lot of dragons walking around, the walls were made of stone like the outside which disappointed me, unlike the orher building, where most diplomatic things were, it was very rustic but not ugly, various corridors with various doors on each corridor, there was an emblem on each door, there was a claw emblem, a book emblem, a fire emblem, a wing emblem and much more, my brothers and my mother entered on a corridor while me and my father entered another doble door in the end of the room, we entered an office with tons of paper on the floor, on the walls there were drawers with a different symbols on each, in the middle of the office there was a table with more paper on top covering the other side.
'Dad':"Menf?" He asked and no response
We go around the table and find a sleeping big black dragon, he had a scar on one of his eyes that goes from one of his horns to his neck.
'Dad':"Again? Menf!" He yelled, Menf's eyes shot open and he panicked for a second.
Menf:"I wasn't sleeping! Ah Bren it's you, God don't scare me like that." He standed, he had 10 meters and i'm sure he did go to the minimization station.
Bren:"If your wife find you sleeping in work you'll be dead.".
Menf:"Yeah problaby, but she don't give me enough rest i can't help it, and what are you doing here? isn't your turn tomorrow?".
Bren:"I don't came here for work Menf, I came here to register my son.".
Menf:"But your son isn't already registred? Lon right?".
Bren:"No, this time is little Synn right here." He put me on the desk.".
Menf:"What? Isn't he a little young? He don't have horns either.".
Bren:"He have horns but they are small." He point at them.
Menf:"Hmm, he do have horns the white scales just hide it, so i got no choice, tell me your full name, age and magic affinity." He grabbed a paper on the desk.
Synn:"Synnaculos Frengryf Jouville, I am a week old, but i don't know my affinity, what is this?".
Menf:"Magic affinity is your element....." He pauses to understand what i just said "Repeat everything you said.".
Synn:"My name is Synnaculos Frengryf Jouville, I am a week old, but i-".
Menf:"A WEEK OLD?! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS BREN?!".
Bren:"Yeah, he's a week old and already know to speak and already have horns before his mana ceremony.".
Menf:"This is strange, this never happened in eons.".
Bren:"You think this will be a problem?".
Menf:"I don't think so, he will have to go to differents types of classes though.".
Bren:"So that's not a problem, lets continue with the registration.".
Menf:"Straightforward as always, here little Synn just put a signature right here.".
Synn:"What is this?".
Tern:"It is something you can remember you agreed to the registration, you can do anything.".
I look around searching for something to use as a signature, I think for a minute, i made my self up and put my hand on the ink on the table, i print my hand on the paper where Menf told me to put a signature, it leaved a black paw on the paper, i looked at Menf and he nodded in aprovement.
Menf:"That's cute, well you can come in the next week after three days.".
Bren:"I will try my best to teach him to read and write, say bye little Synn.".
Synn:"Bye Menf.".
Menf:"Bye little Synn, see you next week." He smiled, it felt strange.
We got out of the academy and we arrived at our home, he started to teach me to read, i easily memorized all the symbols he showed me, but i could only read the syllables, there wasn't any book in the house so he took a piece of charcoal to draw in the living room table, the letters were almost the same as the english alphabet so it made everything easier, just putting everything together in a word that was difficult, my father made the dinner which was rare, but he was just as good as my mother, everyone came back at night".
'Mom':"How was it?".
'Dad':"Everything is alright, he will start next week, lets teach him in the meantime.".
Lyra:"Isn't good Synn?" She said in a excited tone.
Synn:"Is it?".
Lyra:"Of course it is, you're the most young dragon to enter the academy, you will be popular!".
Synn:"But i don't wanna be popular.".
Lyra:"Why not?".
Synn:"I don't like to be around too many dragons.".
Lyra:"Well, get used to it because you will be popular.".
This made me uncomfortable, i didn't like it at all, ever since my past life i didn't like it, everyone finished eating and we got to sleep, i was still uncomfortable thinking about this and i couldn't sleep, my dad noticed it.
'Dad':"What is it Synn?".
I remained quiet thinking before speaking.
Synn:"Is it really ok to me go to the academy?".
'Dad':"Why not?".
Synn:"I know Menf is ok with it but if the other dragons don't." I made a pause "What if they found it unfair? Lyra said that i will be popular, but that will be in the right or wrong way? What if they don't like me? What if they hate me?" At this time i almost was crying thinking about this, my dad said nothing for a minute before letting out a sigh.
'Dad':"Sometime intelligence can be a curse." He said to himself "You worry too much Synn, Life is always unfair and all dragons know that, if you entered the academy earlier it is because you are talented no one will be mad at you because of that, on the contrary, they will be happy, don't worry about it little Synn.".
Synn:"You sure?".
'Dad':"Yes, I'm sure.".
I stood up and rubbed my head against my dad and lay down next to him slowly falling asleep.
Synn:"Thank you dad.". He smiled at me.
'Dad':"Good night Synn.".
he caressed my head as the night fall in silence.
