Eighth day of the third month of the year 1002 of the continental calendar.
In this world, the planet takes exactly 360 days to go around its star, for this reason the months are divided into 30 days.
The months do not have a name, they are only called the first month, the second month, the third month, and so on.

Ceres's eyes widened at the sight of the girl safe and sound, but after a few seconds of thinking about all the possibilities she came to an understanding.
'So she has the Immortality talent…'
In this world all intelligent creatures are born with something called talent, you can be a farmer or a king, there is no exception to the rule.
These talents are split between Common, Normal, Rare, Super Rare, and Ultra Rare.
An example of a Common talent would be Soldier and an example of an Ultra Rare talent would be Holy Knight.
But something that only high-ranking people know is that there is a sixth type of talent.
Heavenly talent.
It is said that among all creatures only a Celestial talent appears once every five thousand years.
Just so you see, even Ceres who is a dragon emperor only has an Ultra Rare talent called Arcane Magic.
Among all the recorded Heavenly talents, there is one that is yearned for by all creatures.
The talent of Immortality.
Despite being called that, it does not mean that you are essentially immortal, what this talent does is that it is impossible to kill yourself in a way that is not natural.
To exemplify it, let's imagine that someone stabs you in the heart, if you have the talent of Immortality you will not die, your heart will begin to regenerate immediately after being pierced.
On the other hand, if you get sick with, say, cancer, it is possible that you will still die with the talent, because it is not considered an external attack.
With all that, the last record of the Immortality talent was over a hundred thousand years ago.
Which means that only Ceres who has lived since that time knows of the existence of that talent.
As an aside, Heavenly talents are so special that it's impossible for them to be detected with magic items or other ways.
Only the owner knows of its existence.
Seeing such a rare talent ignited Ceres's curiosity, so she immediately deciphered the little girl's language with magic.
"…So she lets me kill you!!"
'What is this girl talking about?'
The girl didn't continue and started running towards Ceres again.
'Let's see if this calms you down'
When the girl was about to reach Ceres's tail, Ceres lifted her tens of tons of tail a bit and dropped it on top of the girl.
"OHH…!!"
With a gasp the girl was crushed.
When Ceres wagged her tail all that was left of the girl was a pool of blood.
'Let's see if I'm not mistaken'
Ceres stared at the place where the girl's remains were.
One minute… two minutes… six minutes…
It wasn't until ten minutes later that something magical happened.
The place where the remains of the girl were began to shine and, little by little, the blood, organs and bones scattered around the place were attracted to a single point and began to merge into a being of light.
'Interesting…'
After a few minutes the place was cleaned and in the center was the same girl, nothing more than now naked.
"Cough cough cough cough"
The girl began to shake and cough heavily.
'It seems that talent does not avoid pain'
Which means that that girl felt in her own flesh being crushed with all the corresponding pain.
It took several minutes for the girl to calm down, but despite that her face was pale.
'What do you want from this majestic dragon?'
asked Ceres through telepathy.
Not that he was interested in communicating with the girl, but having an immortal enemy is a huge headache.
The girl quickly raised her head and, with hate in her voice, she screamed for her.
"I hate you! I hate you I hate you I hate you I HATE YOU! I will kill you no matter what!"
Not caring about her nudity, the girl ran towards Ceres's tail and began to hit her.
'Look, I don't know why you hate me but I want to sleep in peace, here, with this you can live in peace'
Ceres floated a small pile of precious gems and placed it at the girl's feet.
Contrary to what Ceres thought, the girl took such action as an insult.
"Money?! Do you think money will fix what you did?!"
The girl didn't give the pile of gems a second look and kept hitting Ceres's tail.
'Strange... in my time the eight races did anything for precious gems, did they lose their value?'
In her ignorance Ceres couldn't think of another reason for him to not accept the gems.
'Ha... this girl should feel grateful that my patience is endless.'
Any other dragon would have created a spell around the girl, imprisoning her for the rest of her life.
Ceres, luckily, had lived so many years that she knew firsthand how cruel that was.
But despite everything, let's not forget that we are talking about a dragon, and they are not beings that appreciate the lives of others.
'I guess I'll have to demotivate her'
Ceres released magic from him.
A small pink magic circle appeared above the girl.
The girl saw him and, perhaps remembering the last time, she tried to get away from her.
But for the ones she tried the circle followed her.
The circle began to spin and acid came out of it.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
The girl screamed like never before in her life.
The acid slithered down her body, melting everything in her path.
'That will show him not to bother me'
The cruelty of such an act was such that Ceres was careful not to destroy the girl's nerves, which means she will feel constant pain capable of driving even a young dragon insane.
"HA…HA…HA…"
The girl's vocal cords were destroyed by her screams, which meant that all that came out of her mouth were silent moans.
Ten seconds passed and Ceres stopped the acid.
She could have left him for an infinite time, but he only wanted to give her a warning.
'Don't come back in front of me'
Who knows if the girl heard what Ceres said, all I know is that her teeth clenched.
'Bye bye'
Ceres summoned wind magic and hurled it at the girl's body.
bam
Just like before the girl's body was shot out of the cave.
'I guess she will understand now'
Despite all her cruelty, Ceres cast mental magic on the girl, preventing her from falling into madness.
Did she do it out of pity or for the girl to understand the message?
That's something only Ceres knows.
