Somewhere in the universe
A group of planets floated in outer space emitting a soft blue glow. This glow was like a sacred halo in the form of a crown. These planets were connected by magical circuits, forming an invisible dome, it seemed to hold them in a certain order. And in the center of these planets was a small snowy island.
The island had no rivers or lakes, as they would be frozen, but there were ice mountains that radiated an aura of danger, it seemed that someone lived in them or not. There was a snow-white castle in the center of the island. In a word, he was beautiful. Various patterns decorated the strong ice walls of the castle. He radiated an abnormal coldness and an aura of inaccessibility, it seemed that he had been stormed more than once.
There were different rooms inside the castle, but the most important part was the throne room. There were hundreds of different magic circles in the throne room, which worked synchronously and separately, but whose functions are unknown. In the farthest part of the throne room was a high ice throne. On the throne was engraved a dragon that emits its breath. His cold aura was unprecedented and the surrounding air instantly froze in place. On this throne sat a young girl about 18 years old and with snow-white folded wings.
Her eyes were closed and she looked more like an ice statue than a girl. The girl's lips were bright pink, and they stood out even more against her snow-white skin. I couldn't even hear if she was breathing or not. She spoke softly in her cold voice and the surrounding air stopped.
- We have arrived at the place, which means that... - she stopped for a while and then thought for a while. After an unknown amount of time, she finished her words.
"The soul paid our fare, huh," she said with a cold grin and a single tear came out of her eye. With the back of her hand, she wiped away this tear and then turned her gaze to the group of people.
"I'll take it out on them," she said in a strange tone, and the next moment she disappeared from her seat.
She appeared right in front of them and they didn't even seem surprised and one of them spoke. He was a man of short stature, slender, with sparse long wavy blond hair, narrow eyes with an expressive look. A narrow oval face adorns a narrow nose and thick lips.
- Who are you and what are these planets? - he asked in a calm voice and pointed his finger at the planets. The girl did not answer anything and just stood in her place with her eyes closed. This went on for a while and finally a group of people could not stand it and another person spoke in an angry voice.
- Answer the booger when the elders asked you! A fat man with bright red hair shouted and his aura manifested. The girl only snorted at the fat man's threat and said their last words.
- My name is Shiro and this is my inheritance, and you will disappear - she replied and a bright light blinded their eyes. A moment later, a huge block of ice formed in their place.
- Boring, but others will arrive soon - she smiled coldly and flew back to the castle.
POV: Shiro
"So, calm down Shiro, it takes time to find all the answers to the questions," I calmed myself and also motivated. I frantically began to inspect the room for the presence of that potion, as it was the only thing that could help me.
- I found it! I said excitedly and quickly grabbed this bottle and poured the contents into my mouth. "Ah, the potion is bitter! I thought with annoyance and a broken heart.
After about 30 seconds, my head started to stop hurting. I had to look for my clothes again, but again I was on the edge of the bed. After getting dressed, I decided to go to the mirror and look at myself. "Hmm, something has definitely changed... As the voice said, I need to grow up and besides, I'm a baby dragon... "and at that moment it dawned on me what I needed to do.
- I need to eat! - I concluded and smelled the outgoing smell of food with my sharp sense of smell. "Anafel cooked something, just great! I'm just hungry, I'm even ready to eat raw meat," I thought and left my room. I was greeted by a huge pile of delicious-smelling meat and I noticed Anafel sitting next to me calmly eating this pile of meat from which I drool like a waterfall.
- Don't stand in the aisle, otherwise you will pour your saliva all over the room and sit down to eat, you need a lot of energy, because after my test you lost a lot of blood... you've become a little paler, although you won't notice right away - she was talking so fast that I could only hear: * about sitting down to eat and a lot of energy *. I did so.
I started my gastronomic journey and ate different pieces of meat, simultaneously eating vegetables. The plate on which these pieces of meat were stacked gradually began to decrease, until the plate was completely empty. "It was the most wonderful thing that happened to me in this life, but still the food does not reach freedom," I thought with pleasure, rubbing my filled tummy and then turned my gaze to Anafel, who had some kind of covered plate from which I had an ocean of saliva. "Just don't tell me what it is..."and as soon as I thought about 'this,' Anafel started talking.
- Shirochka, I have prepared your favorite part of the monster's body, - she said and lifted the lid and the whole hiding smell, as a predator attacked me. I grabbed the plate without hesitation and started eating the heart with great pleasure and I will say that it was divine! After about five minutes, I finished the heart and saw a small napkin next to me. I immediately realized what needed to be done and wiped my face, and then asked.
- Anafel, how should I address you? I asked in my cold tone, but after the "sweet" he became a little warmer.
- When we are alone, you can continue to call me by my name, but at official events you should call me a teacher - she briefly explained and to which I nodded.
- Shiro, I think these are not the only questions, right? She asked in a warm tone and I couldn't help but smile.
- Why do I have a headache and what is this bottle that I drank? I asked and waited for an answer.
- Haa, Shiro, you have a headache because mental energy is running out, and the bottle that I gave you was a potion for restoring mental energy, she replied, to which I frowned slightly.
- Then what is this mental energy? I asked curiously.
"So, Shiro, I think we should start not from the middle, but from the beginning," she said, and I couldn't help but frown even more. "At first? Probably, she wants to explain about mana, it will be good for me," I concluded and began to listen very carefully to her every word.
