"What! Already?!" Adele asked completely stunned I already wanted to increase the speed of which the target was moving left to right. "Prove to me you can do it first, I can't believe you can hit a moving target first try and a bullseye at that! Normally someone would take at least 10 tries to hit the very edge of the target!"
"Alright then, I'll prove it." I say gazing confidently into Adele's eyes.
I went to gather up my arrows I shot and placed them in my quiver. I took my stance at the line and took a deep breath.
'In and out. In and out. Focus on your heartbeat, your position, your breathing, your distance from the target, the speed at which it's moving. Focus on everything.' I though concentrating for two seconds before grabbing an arrow from my quiver and drawing back my bow.
'Now.' I thought as I released the arrow and it flew towards the target hitting a bullseye.
'Again, Again, Again. Fire all your arrows and focus on hitting the bullseye.' I thought repeatedly hitting bullseye over and over not shifting my concentration from the target.
Eventually I had fired all my arrows, all of which hit bullseye and I turned to see Adele's face plastered with absolute astonishment and disbelief.
"Wow. Just wow. I didn't think you could actually do that princess! Okay I'll increase the speed a bit then see if you can do it, go collect the arrows first though." Adele said before recasting her spell.
Once I was positioned at the line again with all my arrows and Adele had finished adjusting the speed I noticed it was moving 4x faster than before.
I grabbed an arrow pulled back the string of the bow, shifted my focus and released.
'Hm okay that wasn't a bullseye, that's alright. It wasn't bad though.'
"Okay that's a good speed, thank you Adele." I said pulling another arrow back and releasing it.
..
I don't know how much time had passed but everyone was currently inside the mountain and I was still training with my bow hitting four bullseyes in total. I totally forgot about my daily body training and had been training with a bow instead so I took a quick break and placed my bow down next to the target with my quiver as well.
I sat down on the floor and started my workout. My work out consisted of sit-ups x50, crunches x50, Russian twists x50, push-ups x35, a 10 minute plank, burpees x50, star jumps x100, squats x50, jumping squats x50, bicycle kicks x50, mountain climbers x50 and a 3 minute side plank.
I'll admit that I struggled, of course as I am only 2 with the height of a 4 year old and the mental age of an 17 year old. Quite laughable if you ask me. Anyway I finished up my training heading back inside drenched in sweat and checking my status.

'Wow that workout did wonders to me, I'm assuming it's also from all the bow training as well. Congrats, me.'
Adele saw me walking down the corridor covered in sweat.
"Princess! Is that sweat? Or did it rain? Wait! That doesn't matter we need to wash you and get you some change of clothes!" Adele said rushing around grabbing a robe and some towels, pushing me down the hallway to the bathroom.
We entered the bathroom where there were baskets for you to put your clothes in and one of which had some clothes in. There is a sliding glass door which leads to the 'bath' if you can call it that. It's basically a hot spring.
'Mother must be in there.' I thought looking at the clothes.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear, mother exited through the glass doors wearing a white bath robe that loosely covered her and she was rubbing her hair with a small towel. You could see part of her breasts, not much but enough to make Adele faint and have blood dripping from her nose.
"*sigh* mother you should really cover up properly when you exit the bath otherwise if Adele sees you again she might just pounce at you." I said prodding Adele with my tail in her side making her jolt up with her face flushed red.
"Haha Adele your really so silly." Mother said cackling at Adele's reaction.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Adele said turning her head to face away from us with the tips of her ears painted red.
"If I knew you were here then yes because your reactions are always so funny." Mother said almost laughing again as she wiped tears away from her eyes.
"This has happened before? Haaaaah, you really are all hopeless."
I stripped, placing my clothes in a basket taking the robe and a towel. I walked to the edge of the hot spring dipping the tips of my toes in before getting in entirely. The hot spring felt warm and relaxed all my tense muscles and washed off all my sweat. The condensation in the air latched to my skin causing some drops of water to run down my skin and I sunk myself into the water loosing myself to the pure bliss this provided me with.
After feeling content with my time there I got out with the water rippling calmingly as my body left the hot spring. Water droplets started to drip down me collecting others on my body on the way down my legs. I grabbed the towel I left on a shelf by the mirror at the back and used it to dry my body a little before putting on my pants and robe. I placed the towel on my head rubbing it as I left through the sliding glass doors where Adele was waiting patiently for me to finish.
"We can go now Adele," I said before asking "What's the time by the way?"
"It is currently 21:30 so you should probably head to bed. I'll take you to the door."
Adele and I walked to the bedroom and turned to me saying in a whisper, "Please be careful to not wake up your siblings, okay?"
"Sure." I shrugged as I walked into the bedroom struggling to see in the dark.

'Convenient.'

[Night vision]
Just as the name implies it allows you to see at night time and when it is dark.

'Could've guessed even without the explanation.'
Now that I could see now anyway I made myself towards the nest and looked down. No room. I'll just sleep with mum on the bed then, she isn't here yet but I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I got under the covers of the bed and rapped my wings around myself keeping my warmth contained. Closing my eyes I slowly drifted off to sleep.
…
'Ah, I'm back in the void. *sigh*'
I stood there waiting for something to happen and as expected something did happen. The goddess I met before appeared in front of me catching me a little off guard so I stepped back? Stepped, sorry I meant float I forgot that in the area I called the 'endless void' I didn't have a physical being but rather a spiritual image of my soul flame which was purple.
"Hello again darling. Are you having fun in your new world?" The goddess said.
"I guess." I replied unaware that I could speak but I was still entirely unbothered by this situation. "So are you the goddess of reincarnation?"
"Yeah, guess you found out."
"Well yeah, you gave me your blessing along with the goddess of space and I have a system so I can inspect the blessing. You're the one who reincarnated me so it wasn't hard."
"I guess so. Anyway my darling, I've got some bad news for you. Well it's more of a warning for the upcoming future as this one could cause you to die but I don't want that so I'm here to help. Aren't I amazing, yay!"
"Okay? Tell me the news so I can get out of her." I said in a sigh.
"You could try being nice you know? Anyway by the time your three you're aware that you have your transformation ceremony?"
"Yes I'm aware."
"Well your mum wanted to invite some other dragons and their kids are coming. Just warning you three kids are going to try kill you and I'm not going to say why because that's for you to find out. I've got to stay going now as times almost up."
"Wait what do you mean time?"
"It's how long your soul void can contain me for. The time I can stay will increase as you get older anyway, have fun! Byeeee~"
…
'What a weird goddess.'
