《The Dragon of Dreams》Chapter 10: The Desire for Adventure!

Late Afternoon - Spring : Home
-Ahh the sun is pure bliss..- I was feeling truly relaxed, until my Krystallo yelled at me, seemingly misunderstanding something.
"Bwother don't you dare die on me!!!!"
-Huh?-
I quickly jolted up and saw her flying towards my face.
I thought about dodging but I was too lazy to move out of the way.
*thump*
"Krystallo, I think you're misunderstanding something.." I try to explain a little and set her down.. "I'm glad you're worried about me though."
She looked up at me in surprise. "Hmph, I don't know what youre talking about.." She was quick to calm down and avert her eyes.
"Pfft" I nearly couldn't hold back my laugh.
"Haha, it's nice to see you two getting along." Mother finally said something after enjoying the atmosphere for a moment.
Seeing her good mood, I decided it was a good opportunity for me to ask a certain question. "Mother, when can I go hunting?"
I was super excited, full of hope just to get completely crushed by Mother. "It's tradition to take you hunting on your 15th birthday.."
-What?! I'm barely over 1 aren't I?- I was a bit sad, but I understood why. -But most dragons at 15 are barely even bigger than I am currently.- "So.. do I really need to wait 14 more years before I can go hunting?"
Seeing the sad look on my face, Mother tried to comfort me. "Well with how fast you're growing that date might change. Most dragons at 15 are only around 10 or 11 meters, and you're just 1 yet nearly that big already.."
As she talked, I noticed something a bit off about the numbers. "But isn't Kystallo already nearly 3 meters long? She is only 1 as well.."

"Yeah, both you and your sister are growing faster than normal dragons.." She spoke to us with a face of concern, likely worried we were growing too fast.
An idea popped into my head as I looked back towards mother with a gleam in my eye. "So can I go hunting with you once I get big enough then?"
"Ill.. think about it."
Her response, although not exactly what I was looking for, was one step closer to a yes! "Woohoo!!" -I can't wait!-
But my sister didn't seem to share my enthusiasm. "Why do you want to go hunting so bad.."
"I want to start getting stronger as soon as possible to make sure I can protect you and Mother."
Mother was quick to disagree though. "Sweetie, you should know from your inheritance [1] that we dragons get stronger as we age.."
"Yes, but experience is an important part of strength!"
"Haah, I'll think about it.. I'm going to go get you two some evening snacks, so head back into the cave."
"But.. the sun feels sooo gooood.. and there is only a few hours left of sunlight.." Pouting a little, I tried to 'convince' mother to let me stay outside.
"Nope, not a chance. It's way too dangerous to be outside without me around.." She was very serious as she destroyed my hopes of staying outside and sunbathing. "When I get back we can come back outside if it is still light out, how about that?" Her usual gentle smile reappeared on her face.
After realizing I wasn't gonna get better conditions I reluctantly walked back inside, waiting for Mother to return.
After around an hour, she returned and we went back outside for the rest of the day.

I ended up quickly falling asleep under the comfort of the sun.
Night quickly enveloped the sky and, no longer feeling the warmth of the sun, I got up and noticed it was already dark. -I definitely fell asleep didn't I..-
As I got up, I saw Krystallo next to me, waking up as well, but as I looked up to the sky with curiousity my breath is taken away.
"Its.. beautiful.." The night sky in this world was unbelievably beautiful, no pollution plus a dragon's eyes made it an incredibly surreal experience. I was completely entranced by the stars. The sky I could see wasn't a dark abyss that you'd see from a city on Earth, but instead it looked like a whole different world.
While I was still human, I loved space. I would love to theorize about complicated concepts in my free time, and space was an easy way to think about those theories because space was as close as we could get to the concept of infinity..
It was an unknown world full of mysteries that we struggled to explain since we couldn't travel to experience them first hand. -We couldn't even leave our solar system with the exception of the voyager satellites.-
Shaking me out of my daze, Krystallo said something that caught me off guard. "It looks like bwother.."
Completely confused, I turned around to see what she was talking about, but she was also looking at the stars. -How could I look like space..- I looked down at myself to see the void-like scales with the blue and purple glow flowing between them.. -I can kind of see the resemblance.. but only in color..-
I may have had lots of confidence after becoming a dragon, but it was nowhere near enough for me to think I was even comparable to the beauty of space.
Maybe it was because I came from a world where we were beginning to explore and understand space, but space was something special to me that very few people would be able to understand.. especially in this world being that likely hasn't reached that frontier.
Being reincarnated to another world had already rekindled my thirst for adventure, but seeing the night sky made me crave it.. -What is the outside world like.. how strong are the creatures roaming this world.. what are the main races of this wide.. new world..- My rekindled desire to uncover the mysteries of this world exploded, all caused by looking into the starry night sky.
