Sleepy the fly oriented itself. He only saw darkness, but a red shimmer shone through a crack above him. He was greeted by one box.

As soon as this box disappeared, his mind was being bombarded by information. He suddenly didn't see various shapes and forms that sticked together, and seemed to follow certain processes, but instead he saw objects moving with reason, and more objects remaining still. The stream inside him rose to new heights, and the fly's body was short of exploding from all the Dragon Mana. The only reason why the fly didn't explode yet was-

There's a lot of red stuff going around.

because of all the Dragon Mana surrounding him. Else his body would pop, just like popcorn.

What is going on? Where is this?

The fly only now started to recover and formulated thoughts, thoughts a common fly usually didn't have. Were it not for his absurd high intelligence and wisdom, he would only now have gained Mental logic - more than enough for most flies to live.

Slowly he crawled out of the crease. He stopped. For a moment it was like time stood still, and he appreciated the beauty before him, the dim glow of the dissipating red Mana threw every object in blurry shapes which slowly danced in the small room. They grew bigger and smaller in a bloody haze, and the fly could only shudder at that beauty.

Within the fog of Dragon Mana, he could make out two shapes. There was one big guy who kept swinging his arms around, all while pointing at the smaller guy. I like the big guy, the fly thought. Maybe it was because he's the first living thing the fly ever saw, or maybe it's because the Archewizards face had a mysterious side in the dim glow, and the fly was geniunly curious to see more of this world. If crawling out of darkness already brought this beautiful sight to him, what would the world beyond look like?

He crawled up to his pockets to stare with anger at whoever his father was staring at.

Before you make father angry, you need to get past the fly!

The cocoon he stared at bared his menacing deep jaw, and the fly quickly hid behind the Archewizard's pants.

Go, father! You can beat him!
