*sigh*
“Father is still sleeping, my magic is finally replenished and from the looks off it the wind and rain got stronger”
I got up and made a floating sofa and blankets where father is now sleeping,
“the rainstorm sure is harsh..” the water was now reaching up to my ankle and it was making my feet wet, but it’s a good thing I guess, because I can absorb water and make it my own so I can make more transformations,
“I guess I should go now, but where should I go, the guild or the apartment” I could report to the guild that we defeated the boss from the venenum dungeon and get rewards, but they might question who I was,
“I should go to the apartment then” I closed my eyes and concentrated on my form that made me really fast, once I finally got the picture I opened my eyes
“hmm I thought I would get longer legs?” when I looked at my feet I saw that I was wearing silver boots that had mini wings on the back, and every time it flapped it would release glitter that sparkled,
“I still have to get used to this new morph ability” I stepped back using my right leg and started running,
I was surprised that I was really running fast, all of my surroundings were just a blur,
‘When flying to the cave it took an hour to get there, I wonder how many minutes will it take by running to the capital’
I was running and was avoiding pools of water because I thought I might slip, lose concentration and drop father, but when I wasn’t looking I noticed I walked on water and continued running,
‘hmm maybe I can also run on walls, I’ll do that next time..’
Sometimes when running I would see those shadow creatures, I even saw the grey deer that we saw once, it was weird because it looked like it was staring at me and was following my movement,
After twenty minutes I saw the capital, then the gates, then I was inside, it seems like the lazy guards didn’t notice me,
‘Those guards sure do a lousy job on guarding the south wing’
I then went to the apartment and opened the door only to be greeted by lightning and fire going to hit my face, I moved in front off father,
I waved my hand and quickly made a water shield, the water absorbed the fire making small vapors, and the lightning was also absorb but nearly electrocuted me,
‘Who are you!? What do you want?! You will never get master?!? Ahh !! MASTER!!?!? You Fiend!!’
I was starting to get annoyed by Argus, he was nonstop babbling so I walked up to him and did a aqua chop on his forehead, seemed like he lost consciousness,
‘Who are-.. Is... That you sis?’ it looked like Charon realized it was me,
“Yes it’s me..” I laid down the sofa, on the side off the room and made more pillows and blankets, for father to sleep comfortably,
‘Sis what happened to you? How did you do that? Will I be able to become like that?’ Charon was jumping nonstop and was asking a lot of questions,

“I gained a human transformation, I became powerful and yes you will, one day..” I said the last part slowly to make sure that charon wont all off a sudden run of and kill anything it sees, all because he wants to level up,
“Also charon can you go and warm up father, I think his cloths are a little wet?”
‘Sure I can do that all for, sir Aries’
He cloaked his scales with fire and made the temperature low so that father won’t be burned, he then went up to him and warped his whole body hugging father,
‘Ugh.. AH!! WHO AR-’ Argus woke up and was going to scream, so I made an iron cage and locked him up, to keep him from attacking me,
“It’s me aqua! You dumb rabbit! I finally gained a human transformation so I can help father, so what about you?” the reason me and Argus wanted to become strong was to protect father so he won’t be hurt because off us,
I deformed the cage,
It looked like Argus was thinking because he wasn’t saying anything and was silent,
‘I’m… I’m going to get stronger, RIGHT NOW!!’ he was going to jump of off the window when he saw father and was shock, he stopped mid jump and moved to him,
‘Gasp... What happened to master?!?’
“He is sleeping, and I think also hungry?”
“Before he wakes up we have to find money and food, the money to buy this apartment some stuff and also to buy food, or snacks”
I was looking outside the window and saw that the rain was really hitting hard, the water canal was nearly overflowing and was moving fast, and from afar I could see that a wall off mist was coming near the capital,
“This is really strange, the rainstorm never had any strong winds before.. And mist..”
‘I know! In the past it was only rain and no wind, but now not only is it early it came with harder wind and annoying mist!’ I looked at Argus, who was lying in the sofa with Charon and father,
I looked outside the window one last time before I head outside,
‘Where you going?’
‘Yah! You can’t leave when it’s this dangerous, what if the heavy rain will hurt you!’
“I’m going to the guild to get information Charon, and do you really think that a water slime will get hurt by the rain Argus...”
I then headed out and was nearly blown off by the wind, but I made my mass heavier by adding more water to my body and made a backpack that was made out of stone,
Seeing that I can stand firm in the rain, I headed out to the guild,
On the way to the guild I could see that markets were starting to close and solo merchants were packing all of their stuff away, people were heading inside their apartments and animals were hiding in every corner to get out off the rain,
I was finally in front of the guild; I noticed that the light was open so I went inside,
“Hello?” I said hello in a small voice to see that I am harmless, I saw two figures approaching me, one was a male that looked like he needed sleep and a girl that was wearing a maid outfit,

I think father said that these were primus and viria,
“Hello!! Are you here to join the guild?” viria the girl said that with a really excited voice,
“Umm, no.., I’m here on behalf of my father to tell about our discoveries on the dungeons..” viria really looked dejected just by hearing the word ‘no’, so she didn’t say anything else and went back to her seat,
“Who is your father? Umm” primus was the one continue the conversation,
“You can call me aqua and my father is Aries..” it looked like primus didn’t know who was Aries because he was looking up while holding his chin and was nonstop saying, ‘hmmmm’
I was going to say something when viria got up and went to me,
“ARIES?! You mean that little boy with the cute curved horns!! I didn’t know he was a father!! Now who will I marry!!” viria said with a loud but dejected voice, and
‘What do you mean marry!?, father is too young to even think about that!!’
“Umm no, I am his summon or pet, the light blue slime that was attacking with water..” it looked like primus finally remembered when he said ‘AH!’ while pointing his head, it also looked like viria was shocked,
“What!! No way!! You have a transformation!?!”
“Umm that’s what I wanted to talk about; it’s also related about the dungeon” I said looking around nervously, ‘I seriously hate acting like this.. .’
“I see, okay sure, let’s talk about it”
Primus said while viria went to get a stool for me and her to sit, and with that I explained everything,
***
It took a while for me to explain things because I wanted to explain from the very beginning but viria wanted to know more on how I got a human transformation, and viria would also nonstop ‘gasp’ really loud or sometimes say a side comment and it irritated me,
But I managed to say everything, except the weird egg and earring, because here nothing is made out of thin air, so I thought it’s a secret ability of father, so I kept quiet about it,
“It’s not the dungeon, but for defeating the boss here you can have this has a reward” he handed me one black transparent coin and twenty red transparent coin,
“um I don’t really know about these coins so is it okay if you can explain it to me” I have never went in the capital, even though I have seen the exterior walls, I never dared to go inside fearing that I might get killed,
Primus got up from the bench he was seating on and explained to me about the coins,
“okay!.., in the capital we call the currency here gems, and there are four types of coins, the first are amethyst gems, fifty amethyst gems make up one ruby gem, fifty ruby gems make up one obsidian gem and, ten obsidian gem makes up one topaz gem,
Now, these gems can be found in any cave and be made into these clear coins, but the ones that are being used has currency are, for amethyst its purple, for ruby it’s red, for obsidian it’s black and for topaz it’s blue,
The reason why these are the official colors is because there are many gems which are the same type has different color and people back in the day thought that each color had more value,
So in the end many economical problems happened and people went into a riot and it was bad,
The riots were finally done when the ruler in the coastal continent made these coins, it became famous and was spread throughout the other continents and is now being used”
“Wow so this currency has history?” wow the people here are truly fascinating,
“Yeah, so anyway it’s not the dungeon, but you did defeat the boss, so you deserve it, also you can buy furniture for the apartment” he said,
“Yes! I can finally buy furniture, .. But I can’t” I said dejectedly,
“Why not?” primus said while looking at viria with a question mark on top of his head,
“It’s because off the rainstorm” I pointed at the door,
“Oh yeah it started early, but it couldn’t be that bad, the rainstorm last year was harmless” viria stood up while telling me this, she then walked to the door opening it, suddenly strong cold winds were entering the building, viria then shut it tight,
“It seems that I am mistaken…” she said with a blank face, and then she suddenly screamed in a really croaked voice,
“Were all going to die!!!” I made a cloth and tied her mouth shut, ugh she was really starting to get annoying, I stood up and was ready to leave, but before I left I said,
“I’m not sure about you guys but I’m going to find that dungeon because I feel that its related to this rainstorm,
You said that it finds us right, then it might be a magical dungeon, because out off all of the weird things in the forest it’s those dungeons,
I’m not sure but I can feel magical energy seeping out off the forest and when I enter it, it’s like a fog, a really thick fog,
Anyways goodbye and thanks for the money appreciated it”
They both nodded, I released viria and left,
I was near the apartment, when I saw sparks of fire and lightning coming out off the windows, I knew it was Charon and Argus probably doing something,
“What did you guys do this time?”
I hurriedly rushed to the apartment,
[AN]
Hey guys!! thank's for reading :D
I made a chapter; the highlight of this chapter was to show aqua more character and also the currency of this world,
The reason I wanted to do a POV of other people was to show their characters and personality, and also more Intel on the story,
The main character is Aries but I wanted him to not only be the protagonist,
Anyways, rate; follow, etc. to show support. Thank you guys :D
