When I woke up I realized two things, the first is that both Blue and Yellow were fast asleep and the second is that my father was sleeping, apparently having a party from what I can tell.
Looking at my body I noticed something strange, I could feel that I was a little stronger than before, maybe it was a product of when I consumed that strange thing. Looking at my body I realized that all my wounds had been healed, except for my wound that made me blue that runs down from the side of my face to my neck, I guess this mark will be permanent from now on.
Letting out an internal sigh, I decided to explore a little, obviously without going too far away I didn't want to have to fight a giant cobra again.
The fact that he survived was something he still didn't understand, and he didn't clearly remember how it happened, maybe it was because of the survival instinct or something.
While I was walking I saw in the distance something that seemed to be a small body of water, stopping I looked at my Dragon father who had not yet moved from his position.
'If he doesn't react it's because there's no danger' was my thought, so even though I was somewhat cautious, I walked along the body of water, taking several seconds to reach it.
As I assumed it was a body of water, a small stream to be more exact, the water was clear which allowed me to see my reflection for the first time.
Reddish-black scales, along with piercing yellow ones similar to those of a fox, and small horns that go to the back of the head. I nodded with satisfaction at my reflection, there was no discomfort at my new features, quite the opposite, my human face now became just a fleeting memory.
Taking a deep breath I inhaled and sighed repeatedly the memories of my human life were still vivid, after all it wasn't until a week ago that I was playing video games with my brother.
I still feel, attachment to my human life, and I doubt it will go away anytime soon, I had friends and family and a girlfriend, but now.
'No, it's better to stop thinking about that for now' giving another sigh I sat looking at my own reflection with some melancholy.
After lasting several more minutes, the sadness I felt began to disappear while I narrowed my eyes and I could feel that energy which filled my entire body, from my head to my claws.
Raising my head I concentrated that energy accumulating it in my mouth, I felt the familiar sensation of wanting to throw something.
Following that instinct, I let out a powerful roar from which a beam of energy shot out in a straight line, destroying several dry trees.
My father, who had not moved, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me for a few moments before returning to his party.
I felt that energy still latent in my body, how it flowed, starting with my heart then spreading through my chest, going down to my extremities until reaching the brain, this was the best feeling of all, it was like... like...
'Magic', if this was magic what I felt was magic, magic which I always dreamed of in my life as a human and which I now possess.
Unconsciously a smile appeared on my face, I could feel my own magic and hundreds of ideas about how to use it bloomed in my mind.
'What would happen if she let my Mana leave my body?' I wondered from what I've seen in the anime that dispersing the Mana outside your body causes you to be able to sense your surroundings, although unlike the anime this is my real life and I'm not sure what will happen.
'I won't know if I don't try' giving a smile I felt my Mana, it immediately responded, releasing a deep sigh I let the Mana leave my body slowly, little by little I could feel how my energy was escaping out of my body.
While this was happening I focused on my surroundings to feel anything around me regardless.
While I was still focused I suddenly lost my strength while I felt my breathing heavy. Opening my eyes I noticed that I was looking at the horizon and my strength was practically exhausted.
I quickly stopped my Mana keeping it in my body, I was exhausted as if I had done three hours of athletics without stopping at any time.
Lying down on the floor I began to rest while little by little I felt my body recovering although the process is somewhat slow.
After ten minutes he was like new again, this time I didn't repeat the same action recklessly, this time I let him escape little by little, guiding him in a specific direction.
While I was doing it I could feel something, it was small but I think I felt a small insect.
Looking to my right there, about 5 meters away I saw a small yellow beetle, yes yellow, and not brown or black.
Letting my Mana continue further I felt how my energy began to reduce so before I completely exhausted myself again I stopped my Mana inside my body.
At least I know I can detect presences, although it's horrible, but it's something, I say it's a good start.
Well now let's try concentrating magic into a sphere and holding it.
Having that idea I opened my mouth beginning to concentrate energy but this time I concentrated on maintaining its spherical shape.
I saw how a black sphere slowly began to form with small reddish spots around it, I continued adding more energy causing its size to increase until it was the size of a soccer ball, feeling excited I continued adding more and more energy, I felt my heavy body but I kept adding more.
After the sphere reached a meter in diameter I concentrated on keeping the shape since it was quite difficult to keep something together, it's like trying to hold a broken vase together without the pieces coming off, you need all your concentration, it was more or less a similar feeling. .
Due to the sound of a branch broken by a rabbit, I lost concentration, it being a bad idea, immediately the sphere began to become irregular.
"Wait this is bad it's going to explode!" Panicking, I looked around nervously looking for something to hide in.
'I know', accumulating all my remaining Mana, I added it to the sphere, sending it into the distance so that at least when it explodes it won't be directly at my face and kills me.
The sphere flew for about 15 meters until it hit a tree.
Boom!
As soon as it made contact everything exploded, the explosion was strong, striking and above all chaotic if that was a better description.
Due to the impact, a small tremor was created as the remains of the trees began to fall to the ground.
To my horror some branches collided directly with my father to which I turned pale: 'Now I'm really dead' trying to salivate I watched as the giant figure that was my father moved.
His eyes snapped open staring at me, his eyes possessed clear annoyance in his yellow eyes as he looked at me before looking a little higher than me. For a moment I saw his eyes flash in surprise before it was replaced by annoyance.
He let out a low growl, which could be heard throughout the place as if it were the roar of a Lion. Then he closed his eyes to return to his party.
'I guess that means I'm safe' without realizing it I fell to the ground while feeling great relief.
