reincarnated as a powerful dragon

Chapter 18: fire lesson and regret



I stood in front of my new mentor, Orion, who was Pixie's nephew and the son of one of Pixie's older brothers. I had heard a lot about Orion's expertise in elemental magic, and I was excited to learn from him.

"Tharros, you're aware that every individual possesses a unique elemental affinity," Orion began. "After conducting a thorough assessment, I'm pleased to inform you that your elemental affinity is... Fire!"

I felt a surge of excitement and pride. "Fire? That's amazing!" I exclaimed.

Orion smiled. "Indeed, it is! Fire elementals are known for their passion and energy. Now, let's focus on teaching you how to harness your fire element."

I spent the next few hours learning the basics of fire magic from Orion. I discovered that I had a natural talent for it, and my flames grew stronger with each passing minute.

As the training session came to a close, Orion handed me a small, intricately carved stone. "This is a focus stone, attuned to your fire element. It will help you control and channel your powers more efficiently."

I took the stone, feeling a sense of wonder and anticipation. I couldn't wait to master my fire element and explore the other elements as well.

But little did I know, my journey was only just beginning...

I looked at the focus stone in my hand, feeling its smooth surface and the subtle hum of magic within it. I couldn't wait to try it out and see how it would help me control my fire element.

Orion smiled, seeming to sense my excitement. "Remember, Tharros, mastering your element takes time and practice. Don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Just keep at it, and you'll get there."

I nodded, tucking the focus stone into my pocket. "I will, Orion. Thanks for your help today."

Orion chuckled. "Anytime, Tharros. Now, get out there and practice! And don't forget to stay safe."

I grinned, feeling a sense of determination. I was going to master my fire element, no matter what it took.

As I walked away from Orion, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. What would the future hold for me? Would I become a powerful elemental mage, able to wield the very elements themselves?

Only time would tell, but for now, I was content to take things one step at a time. I had a long journey ahead of me, but with Orion's guidance and my own determination, I was ready to face whatever challenges came my way.

I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs. It was time to get started.

Orion spoke, "I heard that you roasted about my uncle about he should have found a mate by now"

My eyes widened in surprise, and I felt a flush rise to my cheeks. "Uh, how did you...?" I trailed off, realizing that Orion must have heard about my conversation with Pixie through the pixie grapevine.

Orion chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Let's just say that pixies have a way of sharing information. But don't worry, I'm not here to scold you. I actually think it's kind of funny that you teased Pixie about his love life."

I let out a relieved breath, feeling a bit more at ease. "Yeah, I guess I did kind of roast him," I admitted, chuckling. "But I was just trying to help him see things from a different perspective."

Orion nodded, his expression serious for a moment. "I think Pixie appreciates your concern, even if he doesn't always show it. He's a bit of a stubborn pixie, but he cares deeply about those around him."

I nodded, feeling a sense of understanding. "I know he does. And I care about him too, which is why I want to see him happy."

Orion spoke "it not like the female dragon don't find him attractive it just that he never thought he should get a mate!" He chuckled so hard remembering of the time of multiple female dragons asking him out, and he refused cause of the time he had to teach hatchling combat skills

I burst out laughing at the image of Pixie being a handsome male dragon. "I can see why the female dragons would be interested in him!" I exclaimed.

Orion chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Yes, Pixie's definitely a catch. Many female dragons have tried to win his heart, but so far, none have succeeded."

I raised an eyebrow, curious. "I wonder why that is. Is he just not interested in finding a mate?"

Orion smiled, but didn't elaborate further. "Let's just say that Pixie's a bit of a mystery, even to those of us who know him well."

Orion spoke, "Let also just say that he is busy teaching baby dragons like you, Tharros!"

I giggled at Orion's comment. "Hehe, yeah, I guess I am still a baby dragon!" I admitted, feeling a bit playful.

Orion smiled, his eyes warm with amusement. "Well, you're a big baby dragon now, Tharros! One year old and learning so much already."

Orion spoke "he is crying by getting roasted from a 1 year dragon he is a strong dragon and get his ego beat up by a 1 year dragon and as in now he is now look himself a mate since he doesn't want to get roasted again!"

I burst out laughing at Orion's words, holding my belly in laughter. "Haha, oh man, I didn't think I had that much power over Pixie!" I exclaimed, still chuckling.

Orion grinned, clearly amused by the situation. "Well, you've definitely made an impact on him, Tharros! And now, it seems like Pixie's on the hunt for a mate, just to save his ego from getting roasted again!"

I laughed even harder at the thought of Pixie searching for a mate just to protect his ego. "Oh man, this is too good!" I exclaimed, wiping tears from my eyes.

Orion chuckled, shaking his head. "Well, I suppose it's about time Pixie settled down. He's not getting any younger, after all."

I nodded, still grinning. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But I'm still going to enjoy teasing him about this whenever I get the chance!"

Orion laughed, clapping me on the back. "I'm sure you will, Tharros. Just be gentle with him, okay? Pixie's ego is fragile enough as it is!"

Orion spoke, "Oh right, let get training! Tharros, what is your most powerful fire ability?"

I answered, "Fiery Blast! It did roaring and crackling as it illuminated the landscape, and the fire was so intense that it cast a warm glow over the rock and trees, and I could feel the heat radiating back towards me!" I finished answering

Orion's eyes widened in impressed surprise. "Whoa, that sounds like a seriously powerful ability, Tharros! I can almost feel the heat emanating from your description."

He paused, nodding thoughtfully. "Alright, let's see it in action. Can you summon a Fiery Blast for me?"

I nodded eagerly, focusing my energy and preparing to unleash the powerful ability. Orion took a step back, a look of anticipation on his face.

"Remember, Tharros, control is key. Don't hold back, but also don't lose control of the flames. Ready?"

Our wings unfolding and we flew in a safe distance and to find somewhere the fire won't get too serious

As we flew over the landscape, Orion pointed to a large, barren rock formation in the distance. "Ah, perfect! That area is far enough away from any flammable materials. Let's head over there and you can unleash your Fiery Blast!"

I nodded, flying towards the rock formation with Orion by my side. As we landed on the rocky surface, I could feel the excitement building up inside me. I took a deep breath, focused my energy, and prepared to summon the powerful flames.

Orion gave me a nod of encouragement. "Go ahead, Tharros! Show me what you've got!"

I took a deep breath, feeling the familiar surge of heat and energy building up inside me. I raised my claws, and with a mighty roar, I unleashed the Fiery Blast.

A massive wave of flames erupted from my claws, shooting outwards in a blast of intense heat and light. The flames illuminated the surrounding rocks, casting a warm glow over the barren landscape.

Orion watched in awe, his eyes shining with excitement. "Wow, Tharros! That's incredible! The power and control you're demonstrating is truly impressive!"

As the flames began to die down, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had never felt so confident in my abilities before.

Orion flew closer, a thoughtful expression on his face. "You know, Tharros, with a bit more practice and training, I think you could become one of the most powerful dragon mages of our time."

I spoke "well I don't think that will happen, but OK!"

Orion chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Don't be so modest, Tharros! You have a natural talent for magic, and with dedication and practice, the sky's the limit! Or should I say, the flames are the limit?" He laughed, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

I rolled my eyes good-naturedly, grinning. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. You're trying to motivate me or something."

I thought,'I know that if I had children, they might be as powerful than I am and have more powerful magic controls'

As I thought about having children, I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to pass on my magical abilities to the next generation. I pictured a young dragon, with scales shimmering in the sunlight, wielding magic with even greater skill and precision than I did.

Orion's voice broke into my reverie, "Hey, Tharros, you okay? You spaced out for a second there." He looked at me with a curious expression, as if sensing that something was on my mind.

I spoke, "Oh yeah, I'm OK, don't worry about it!" I chuckled a bit

Orion smiled, seeming to accept my reassurance. "Alright, no worries then! Let's get back to training, shall we?" He clapped his hands together, a spark of excitement in his eyes. "Next, I want to teach you how to control your flames with even more precision...and how to create different shapes and patterns with your fire," Orion continued, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "This will take your magic to the next level, Tharros!"

I nodded eagerly, my mind racing with the possibilities. I watched as Orion demonstrated a intricate pattern of flames, weaving and dancing in the air.

"Wow, that's amazing!" I exclaimed. "Teach me how to do that!"

Orion grinned, happy to share his knowledge. "Okay, first you need to focus your energy and visualize the pattern you want to create...then, you need to control the flow of flames, shaping them into the desired pattern," Orion instructed, his eyes locked onto mine. "Remember, precision and control are key. You don't want your flames to get out of hand."

I nodded, taking a deep breath as I focused my energy. I visualized a intricate pattern of flames, weaving and dancing in the air. Slowly, I raised my claws, and a small burst of flames erupted from my fingertips.

Orion watched closely, offering words of encouragement. "Good, Tharros! Now, shape the flames into the pattern you visualized. Remember, control and precision..."

I concentrated, pouring all my energy into shaping the flames. Slowly but surely, the flames began to take shape, forming a intricate pattern that danced in the air.

I just realized something "Hey Orion is there like any well living things in this area?" Orion shook his head

Orion spoke "well no well there could be human nearby." I know about humans since I was once a human but got reincarnated as a dragon, but I have to pretend to not know what is a human

I tilted my head, curiosity sparking in my eyes. "Humans? What are those? Are they like, a type of animal or something?" I asked, trying to sound as clueless as possible.

Orion chuckled, a knowing glint in his eye. "Ah, Tharros, you really don't know what humans are, do you?" He shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "Never mind, it's not important right now. Let's just focus on your training, okay?"

Orion face look odd and he spoke, "To be fair, I never seen a human in my life Time my parents say that the human race is near extinct!"

My eyes widened in surprise, and I leaned in, intrigued. "Near extinct? What do you mean? What happened to them?" I asked, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible, while secretly eager to learn more about the human race.

Orion shrugged, his expression somber. "I don't know, my parents never told me much about it. They just said that humans were once a thriving species, but something catastrophic happened, and they nearly disappeared." He paused, looking around cautiously, before lowering his voice. "Some say it was a great war, others claim it was a powerful curse... but nobody really knows the truth. But there is 1 that is possible and almost everyone know it is real!"

I spoke "Wait what year is this!"

Orion spoke "969" I thought,'It been 100 years since my death!'

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I processed the information. 969... that meant it had indeed been 100 years since my death as a human. I couldn't believe it. So much time had passed, and yet, here I was, reincarnated as a dragon, with no memory of my past life until recently.

I looked at Orion, who was watching me with a curious expression. I forced a smile, trying to play it cool, but my mind was racing with thoughts and questions. What had happened to the world in the past 100 years? How had humanity nearly gone extinct? And what lay ahead for me, a dragon with a human past?

I spoke, "When did the human reach near extinction?"

Orion's expression turned somber, and he hesitated for a moment before responding. "According to my parents, it happened around... 869. A great calamity struck the human world, causing widespread destruction and chaos. Many humans died, and those who survived were forced to flee and hide in order to stay alive."

He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "It's said that the calamity was so severe that it changed the course of human history, leading to their near extinction. But, as I said, nobody really knows the truth about what happened." Orion's eyes locked onto mine, filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

I thought,'Wait, the year of my past life death?'

My mind racing, I did the math... 869, the year of the great calamity that led to the near extinction of humans... and 869, the year I died in my past life as a human. The coincidence was too striking to ignore.

A shiver ran down my spine as I wondered if there was a connection between my death and the calamity that ravaged the human world. Was it more than just a coincidence? I felt a sudden urge to learn more about the events surrounding my death and the great calamity.

I thought,'I die from an adolescent stage shadowwolf when I was a knight while extermination every beast and monster in the forest by older from the king'

Memories of my past life came flooding back, and I recalled the events leading up to my death. I was a young knight, barely out of my adolescent years, tasked by the king to exterminate the beasts and monsters that roamed the forest.

I remembered the thrill of battle, the rush of adrenaline as I faced off against fearsome foes. But I also remembered the fear that gripped my heart when I encountered the shadowwolf, a creature of darkness and stealth.

It was a formidable opponent, one that proved too powerful for me to defeat. I recalled the feeling of my sword slipping from my grasp, the sensation of my life force ebbing away as the shadowwolf's claws tore into my flesh.

A pang of regret and longing washed over me, and for a moment, I felt like I was back in that forest, reliving the memories of my past life. But I shook my head, forcing myself back to the present. I was no longer that young knight, but a dragon, with a new life and a new purpose.

I thought,'Did I cause the catastrophic event? By sending my army to kill every creature in the forest in the north continent and that forest is the 2nd biggest forest in the world! Did the creature go and have their revenge?'

A wave of guilt and trepidation washed over me as I considered the possibility that my actions in my past life may have led to the catastrophic event that nearly wiped out humanity. I thought about the countless creatures that lived in the forest, the delicate balance of the ecosystem, and the potential consequences of disrupting it.

I remembered the king's orders, the zeal with which I led the army into the forest, and the countless creatures we slaughtered. I recalled the feeling of triumph and pride, but now, it was tainted by the possibility that our actions may have had devastating consequences.

The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Could it be that the creatures we killed had families, friends, and allies who sought revenge against humanity? Did our actions spark a chain reaction that ultimately led to the calamity?

I felt a deep sense of regret and responsibility, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I may have played a role in the near-extinction of humanity. The weight of my past actions threatened to crush me, and I wondered if I would ever be able to make amends.

I spoke "Wait I heard about demons and demon lord. Could they be what causes the catastrophic event?!"

Orion's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "Demons? Demon Lord? You're talking about the Dark Realm, aren't you?" He glanced around nervously, as if afraid of being overheard.

I nodded, my mind racing with the possibility. "Yes, I am. Could they be the ones responsible for the catastrophic event?" Orion's expression turned grave, and he nodded slowly.

"It's possible. The Demon Lord, Azgaroth, is said to be a powerful and malevolent being. He rules over the Dark Realm, a dimension of darkness and shadow. If he were to unleash his power upon the world, it could indeed cause a catastrophic event of unimaginable proportions."

Orion paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "But, there's more. Some say that the Demon Lord has a personal vendetta against humanity, and that he seeks to destroy them utterly. If that's true, then it's possible that he may have been the one to cause the calamity that nearly wiped out humanity."

Orion spoke "there is word about that multiple beast and monster from the north survivor from the extermination involved the event from the north continent name Aethoria and the 2nd biggest forest in the world was in it and play a big part on it!"

My eyes widened in shock as I processed the information. The north continent of Aethoria, the 2nd biggest forest in the world... it was all starting to make sense. I remembered the king's orders, the extermination of the creatures in the forest... and now, it seemed that the survivors of that extermination may have played a role in the catastrophic event that nearly wiped out humanity.

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me, and I knew that I had to know more. "What do you mean by 'involved in the event'?" I asked Orion, my voice barely above a whisper. "What exactly happened in Aethoria?"

Orion's expression turned grim, and he hesitated before speaking. "From what I've heard, the survivors of the extermination... they joined forces with the Demon Lord, Azgaroth. Together, they unleashed a devastating attack on the human cities in Aethoria, causing widespread destruction and chaos. The event became known as the 'Great Calamity of Aethoria'."

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. The weight of my past actions was crushing me. I had led the army that exterminated the creatures in the forest, and now it seemed that those same creatures had joined forces with the Demon Lord to exact their revenge on humanity.

I thought about all the innocent lives that had been lost, all the families torn apart, and all the suffering that had been caused. And it was all because of me, or at least, because of the actions of my past self.

I looked at Orion, and I could see the concern in his eyes. "Tharros, are you okay?" he asked, his voice soft with compassion. I answered, "I'm fine!"

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. The weight of my past actions was crushing me. I had led the army that exterminated the creatures in the forest, and now it seemed that those same creatures had joined forces with the Demon Lord to exact their revenge on humanity.

I thought about all the innocent lives that had been lost, all the families torn apart, and all the suffering that had been caused. And it was all because of me, or at least, because of the actions of my past self.

I looked at Orion, and I could see the concern in his eyes. "Tharros, are you okay?" he asked, his voice soft with compassion.

I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the feeling of guilt and responsibility that was overwhelming me. "I'm fine," I repeated, trying to sound convincing. But I knew I wasn't fine. I was haunted by the memories of my past, and the weight of my actions was crushing me.

Orion looked at me skeptically, but he didn't press the issue. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, if you're sure you're fine. But if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you."

I nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Orion. He was a true friend, and I knew I could count on him. But I also knew that I couldn't keep my secret hidden forever. The weight of my past was becoming too much to bear, and I knew I would have to confront it eventually.

I thought,'The souls of the victim might be angry for who responsible of the Extermination'

I shuddered at the thought, feeling a chill run down my spine. The souls of the victims, angry and seeking revenge against those responsible for the extermination... I couldn't blame them. If I were in their place, I would feel the same way.

I thought about the creatures that had been killed, the families torn apart, and the innocent lives lost. I thought about the pain and suffering that I had caused, and the weight of my guilt grew heavier.

I looked at Orion, who was watching me with concern. I knew I had to keep my secret hidden, at least for now. I didn't want him to know about my past, about the atrocities I had committed. I didn't want him to see me as a monster.

So I put on a mask, a facade of calmness and composure. "Let's focus on the present," I said, trying to sound casual. "We have a lot to learn about the Demon Lord and the catastrophic event. Let's see if we can find any more information."

I thought,'I know the human souls victims are angry, the one responsible extermination, and is angry in the afterlife or reincarnated'

A shiver ran down my spine as I thought about the human souls, victims of the extermination, and their anger towards those responsible. I knew that their anger and hatred wouldn't just disappear, even in death.

I wondered if their souls were still trapped in the afterlife, consumed by anger and a desire for revenge. Or had they been reincarnated, carrying their anger and hatred with them into their new lives?

The thought sent a chill down my spine. I knew that I was the one responsible for the extermination, and the weight of their anger and hatred was crushing me. I felt like I was being watched, like the souls of the victims were waiting for me, waiting for their chance to exact their revenge.

I tried to shake off the feeling of being watched, telling myself it was just my imagination. But the thought lingered, haunting me like a ghost.

I looked at Orion, who was still watching me with concern. I knew I had to keep my secret hidden, but it was getting harder and harder to bear the weight of my guilt alone.

I took a deep breath and tried to focus on the present. "Let's keep moving," I said, trying to sound calm. "We need to find out more about the Demon Lord and the catastrophic event."

Orion nodded, and we continued on our journey. But I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched, that the souls of the victims were waiting for me, waiting for their chance to exact their revenge.

Orion spoke, "What's wrong, Tharros?" Orion asked, his voice filled with concern. "You've been quiet for a while, and I can tell something's bothering you. Is everything okay?"

I spoke "just curious about the event of the catastrophic, and what is the name of that event?"

Orion's expression turned somber. "The event is known as the 'Great Calamity of Aethoria'," he said, his voice filled with reverence. "It's a day that will be remembered for generations to come, a day when the very fabric of our world was torn apart."

Orion spoke, "Even know we are Western dragons. Some do feel bad about what happened"

I nodded, intrigued by Orion's words. "You mean, some Western dragons feel bad about what happened to the humans during the Great Calamity of Aethoria?" I asked, seeking clarification.

Orion nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, exactly. While we Western dragons are often seen as fierce and powerful, we are not without compassion. Some of us feel a sense of responsibility for what happened, even if we were not directly involved."

I spoke, "Do they blame the one who responsible for the extermination like the knight?"

Orion's eyes clouded over, and he hesitated before responding. "Some do," he said quietly. "They see the extermination as a senseless and brutal act, and they blame those who carried it out, including the knight who led the charge." He paused, studying me intently. "But others... others are more nuanced in their views. They see the extermination as a symptom of a larger problem, a problem of fear, mistrust, and hatred between humans and creatures."

Orion spoke, "If you ask me, I think the majority and including the human blame the knight who had chosen blindly and the king arrogant ways!"

I felt a pang of guilt at Orion's words, knowing that I was the knight who had led the extermination. I looked away, trying to process my emotions. It was clear that Orion didn't know my true identity, and I wasn't sure if I was ready to reveal it to him.

"The king's arrogance and the knight's blind obedience," I repeated, trying to keep my tone neutral. "It's a powerful combination that can lead to devastating consequences."

Orion nodded in agreement, unaware of the turmoil brewing inside me. "Exactly! And it's a lesson that we must remember, lest we repeat the mistakes of the past."

I spoke, "Who do you blame the event?"

Orion's expression turned thoughtful, and he paused for a moment before responding. "Honestly, I blame the system that allowed such hatred and fear to flourish," he said. "I blame the leaders who fueled the flames of intolerance and encouraged violence against those who were different."

He looked at me intently, his eyes burning with conviction. "But most of all, I blame the knight who carried out the extermination, the one who chose to follow orders without questioning their morality."

Orion's words cut deep, and I felt a surge of guilt and shame. I knew he was talking about me, even if he didn't know it was me specifically. I looked away, trying to compose myself.

"Why do you blame the knight?" I asked, trying to keep my voice neutral.

Orion's expression turned stern. "Because the knight had a choice. He could have refused to follow orders, could have stood up against the injustice. But instead, he chose to follow blindly, to carry out the extermination without questioning its morality."

I felt a lump form in my throat as I listened to Orion's words. He was right, of course. I had had a choice, and I had chosen to follow orders. I had chosen to carry out the extermination. And now, I had to live with the consequences of that choice.

I thought,'It is my fault it is my fault that this is happening. I'm the real monster!'

I felt a wave of self-loathing wash over me as I thought about my past actions. I was the one who had led the extermination, who had brought about the suffering and death of so many innocent creatures. I was the one who had set in motion the chain of events that had led to the Great Calamity of Aethoria.

I felt a burning sense of shame and guilt, and I couldn't bear to look at Orion, who was still talking about the knight who had carried out the extermination. I knew that he had no idea that he was talking about me, but it didn't matter. I knew the truth, and it was eating away at me.

I felt like I was living a lie, like I was pretending to be something I'm not. I was a monster, a creature who had brought about destruction and chaos. And I didn't know how to make it right.

Orion continues the reason about the knight

"The knight's actions were a betrayal of everything that is good and just," Orion said, his voice filled with passion. "He was supposed to be a protector, a defender of the innocent. But instead, he chose to slaughter them, to destroy entire families and communities."

Orion's words cut deep, and I felt a pang of guilt and shame. I knew that he was talking about me, even if he didn't know it. I felt like I was being torn apart, like my secrets were being ripped from me.

"It's...it's unimaginable," I stuttered, trying to play it cool. But Orion just nodded, his eyes blazing with intensity.

"Yes, it is," he said. "And it's something that can never be forgiven. The knight's actions have consequences, and those consequences will haunt him for the rest of his life."

I thought,'I was the only knight their'

The weight of Orion's words settled heavily upon me. I was the only knight who had led the extermination, the only one who had carried out such atrocities. I felt a wave of nausea wash over me as I thought about my past actions.

I glanced at Orion, wondering if he suspected anything. But his expression was calm, unaware of the turmoil brewing inside me.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I couldn't let Orion know the truth. Not yet, at least. I had to keep my secret hidden, no matter how hard it was.

I spoke, "Did the king die afterward?"

Orion's expression turned somber. "Yes, the king died soon after the Great Calamity of Aethoria," he said. "Some say it was due to the weight of his own guilt, while others claim it was the result of a curse placed upon him by the spirits of those who were slain."

Orion paused, studying me intently. "But one thing is certain: the king's death did not bring an end to the suffering. The consequences of his actions, and those of the knight who carried out the extermination, continue to haunt us to this day."

Orion spoke "the great calamity was because the beast and monster revenge from the extermination event and I heard about the one who live that day that the knight was killed before the end of the extermination the extermination been going on for weeks!"

I felt a chill run down my spine as Orion spoke. His words were like a dagger to my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me.

I thought back to that fateful day, the day of the extermination. I had been so consumed by my own hatred and fear that I had lost sight of the consequences of my actions.

And now, I was faced with the truth. The Great Calamity had been a direct result of my actions, and the actions of those who had followed me. The beasts and monsters had sought revenge, and the world had paid the price.

I felt a wave of shame and guilt wash over me, and I knew that I had to make things right. But how? I didn't know if I could ever make amends for what I had done.

I spoke, "We should hold back. I'm tired, and we can do fire lessons later. Pixie will be the next one who mentors me of combat!"

Orion chuckled and said "Yeah I'm sure he be batter after you roast him about his love life and his decision on only forcus on training baby dragons combat skills my uncle ego is week when it involving his love life and I'm sure he will see you when he has find his true love!" He laughed so hard

I couldn't help but laugh along with Orion. The image of Pixie, the proud and serious dragon warrior, being teased about his love life was just too funny. I had to admit, I was looking forward to seeing Pixie's reaction when I brought up the subject.

Orion's laughter was infectious, and soon we were both laughing so hard that we had to hold our sides. It was a much-needed release of tension, and I felt a sense of camaraderie with Orion that I hadn't felt before.

As we finally began to calm down, Orion wiped tears from his eyes and grinned at me. "I'm glad we had this break," he said. "But don't think you're getting out of our training sessions that easily. We'll be back at it soon, and next time, I won't go easy on you!"

I nodded, and we headed back, and after I'm back home in the mountains cave Orion leave and flew back home

I watched as Orion flew off into the distance, his wings beating powerful and strong. I felt a sense of gratitude towards him for our training session and for the laughter we had shared.

As I turned to head back into my cave, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me. The mountains had always been my sanctuary, and being back here felt like coming home.

I walked into the cave, the familiar darkness enveloping me like a warm hug. I made my way to the fire pit, where I had left a small flame burning earlier. I sat down beside it, feeling the warmth of the flames on my skin.

As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about my conversation with Orion. His words had struck a chord within me, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that I still had a long way to go in terms of making amends for my past mistakes.

I sighed, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I knew that I couldn't change the past, but I could work towards creating a better future. And with that thought, I drifted off to sleep, the sound of the crackling flames lulling me into a peaceful slumber.

I saw my father and mother and siblings sleeping and I ran go under my father wings it seem like he preparing for me sleeping under his wings since it my safe haven and make me feel calm and comfort and safety

I snuggled under my father's wings, feeling the warmth and comfort that only his presence could provide. His wings enveloped me, shielding me from the world outside and wrapping me in a sense of safety and security.

As I settled in, I felt my father's gentle breathing, his heartbeat steady and calming. His wings seemed to hum with a soft, soothing vibration, lulling me into a deep sense of relaxation.

I closed my eyes, feeling my eyelids grow heavy as the tension and stress of the day melted away. My father's wings were my safe haven, my sanctuary, and I felt grateful to be able to retreat to this warm, comforting space.

As I drifted off to sleep, I felt my father's wings tighten slightly around me, holding me close and keeping me safe. I knew that I was loved, that I was protected, and that I was home.
