"I'm gonna make it this time!"
At the top of Mount Kami, I stood atop a tree taking in the view of the empire, grinning as I secured my Surfboard.
Every morning I test my luck by land surfing to the bottom of the mountain and today is the day I go all the way.
I took a deep breath as I shook the nervousness out of my body before launching down the slope.
"WOOOOOO!"
The wind whipped through my hair as I maneuvered my board between trees, quickly dodging random branches from swatting my balls, and jumping over ravines as they appeared.
Let's just say the last time I unexpectedly jumped a ravine I lay at the bottom until the kingdom's guards arrived.
The landscape began to blur around me as I picked up speed when fireworks began blasting in the distance.
"Oh shit! The ceremony…" , ducking under a low-hanging branch.
Just as I neared the base of the mountain, a shadow passed over me and my worst mistake was looking up at it.
When our eyes made contact the shadow poofed into a black cloud.
"What the—" I gasped as I leaped over the last ravine, the jump that would confirm my greatness if I reached the other side but as I reached the middle of the jump—
'CRASH'
Barely having time to react, a creature with grey skin lunged at me; aiming its claws at my neck I used my arms to block but instead, I heard the sound of metal colliding before hurling toward the bottom of the ravine.
"Im a noble dragon, dumbass!" I grinned as I turned mid-air to attack— even if I hadn't awoken my draconic abilities, the creature didn't know that but as if fate was against me, my pump fake failed, miserably.
'SMACK'
The creature appeared beside me delivering the strongest kick my stomach had ever felt.
It chased after me at an alarming speed as I hurled toward the ground swiping its arms viciously as its claws flew toward me.
'PFFT'
'PFFT'
'PFFT'
'PFFT'
'PFFT'
"FLY!"
"FLY"
I attempted anything to dodge, swimming through the air, trying to force my wings out of my back, but it was futile.
"No, no, no!" I yelled, thrashing mid-air as the multiple projectiles pierced and grazed my skin. blood began squirting from every part of my body, flooding my mouth and lungs with each breath i tried to take.
My vision began fading as I noticed the holes in my arms, no telling how many my body had.
The strength in my body seeped away as I fell into an abyss of darkness.
As I flew toward the ground, time seemed to slow as my life flashed before my eyes.
"Alvaro.."
Death was at my door and all I could think of was my brother. He had always been my savior but it seemed this time he would be too late.
Memories began flooding my mind.
"Some fierce dragon I am, falling to my death…" I muttered
I closed my eyes as I prepared my body for impact when I felt a warm sensation envelop me, time around me began slowing as the velocity of my fall changed from certain death to bone wrecking, The wounds on my body began regenerating as my life force returned to me.
When I checked my surroundings, I noticed the creature's speed increase tremendously, it looked angrily confused wondering how I healed from its attacks so fast.
A giant lock and key appeared in the sky as they connected, when the key entered the lock, the mark on my neck began to glow.
the massive lock shattered, releasing a surge of power that rushed toward me.
At the same time, the creature sent another barrage of projectiles but this time it didn't stop.
The beam of power surged down like lightning as it hit my body but instead of the expected pain, a warm sensation came over me as a white aura around me began to stretch out of my vision.
The marks glow continuously got brighter as the creature exploded on impact, leaving its remains covering my body.
Thinking I had been saved, I grinned happily as the beam of power disappeared, but the barrage of projectiles began repeatedly piercing my body taking the little hope I had with them as they escaped through my back.
"Ah-!" I tried to shout as my mouth began to fill, my vision blurring once again.
'POP'
I felt an otherworldly energy connect with my aura as the white aura enveloping me in a protective cocoon of light began to solidify and turn golden.
The cocoon shattered as it crashed into the ground caused me instantly lose consciousness.

When I awoke, I found myself in the castle's medical infirmary. I peeked at my arms letting out a sigh of relief, it seemed that someone healed me in time.
The familiar scent of medicinal herbs filled the air, and the soft murmurs of menders whispered through the room. Disoriented, I tried to sit up, but my body felt different; weaker.
As the Prince of Cielnisi, I should've awoken in Minos Palace with a mender at my beck and call, instead I wake up around townsfolk and common healers.
I hopped out of the bed with haste as I stumbled toward the door, but I stopped as I noticed something unnatural.
"Ma'am? your body isn't finished healing, return to your bed while I inform the doctor that your up, now!"
The mendess showed major signs of stress as she began to walk toward another patient when she heard something from behind.
"I swear I was taller than that cabinet," I determined as I walked toward the doctors desk.
"Excuse Me? MISS!"
I stood a few inches below the counter as I studied the height difference before looking down at my legs, making note that someone changed my clothes without consent but more so my feet.
A male healer gestured for her to remain calm as he stood up from his desk and stepped in front of me, lifting me into his arms with ease.
"Try not to be so wreckless, miss or you may lose the ability to walk" the man said with a smile as he put me back into the bed.
"WHAT! DO I LOOK LIKE A MISS TO YOU?" I shouted when I noticed the sound of my voice.
"Um? Yes? Are you being a smart ass, we could've just left you out there to die you know!"
"Quit playing with me, man!" I glared at him as I grabbed my nuts.
Instead, I felt nothing causing me to freak out immediately.
"MY BALLS!…"
Steadily searching my entire body in front of everyone before I let out a scream, "MY DICK!
I ignored the perplexed and disgusting glares of the on-lookers as I peeked into my gown.
"AAAAHHHH"
