It doesn't take long before the blue tinge of the door starts to change back into its original charcoal color. As it does, i can feel immense strength coming into my body. Those magical seals must have done a number on me, and when they're fully gone i can say for certain that i will be testing out this body of mine again.

The door slowly opens and the face of my parents come into view, both of them wearing shocked expressions as they look up at my now 3m high body. The shock quickly turns into relief as my mother jumps to my side, hugging the base of my neck with her arms.

I can feel a certain moisture on my metallic scales, i am sure it is not water magic. To comfort her an offer some reassurance, i wrap the rest of my elongate neck around her body, giving her the closest thing to a hug i can manage.

My dad is more collected than my mom, and he lets out a low appreciative whistle saying

"Look at how big you got! You are a lot bigger than i was when i first transformed, and i was supposed to be the largest one. I guess you got the best out of the both of us when you were born."

After that, he walks over to the opposite side of my mother and pats my shoulders causing a mix of a clink and a thud to ring out. It doesn't hurt in the slightest, in fact in kind of tickles.

Because of how much it tickles, i let out a booming laugh and both of my parents step back a few feet with the once again shocked faces.

Vebrrii is the one to stay calm this time, and she looks at me still with even more tears in her eyes and says in a choke voice

"My little boy is all grown up now, how am i supposed to carry him on my shoulders now?"

She sniffles once more and starts openly crying, my father moves over to help her but before he can i move infront of her and lower my head enough so that she can see the top of it.

Now with my snout almost touching the floor, i say in a gentle tone

"Don't worry, Mom. I will always be your little dragon, just in a different form."

Hearing my words she stops crying, but still sniffles, chuckling sadly

"He is such a sweet talker too, how many women besides your mother will you make cry?"

My father then comments, clearly without thinking of what he is saying

"Just like his old man! Hey, did i ever tell you about the time i-"

Interrupting what he was about to say, a meaty smack reverberates throughout the crypt im in and i lower my head even further, now touching the ground.

I can make out the wheezing sound of my father as he tries to get some oxygen back into his system. Mother simply says in a sweet but scary voice

"What was that dear? I couldn't hear you, was there something you wanted to say?"

Obviously aware of what will happen is he continues, he squeezes out "No honey, i did not say anything. I love you!"

"I love you too, but i wonder why you would say that here?"

He knows he should not talk anymore, and after seeing that she will get no response my dear mother goes 'hmph!' and walks around me to see the rest of the room i was in.

My father waddles along after her, still trying to get a solid breath in. After getting fully past me, they both stop and i lift my head back up to see Vedbrii staring intently at one of the scorch marks.

"Hey, these don't look like lightning marks do they? And i thought he wasn't even supposed to be able to use magic at all in here."

To that my father stands back up from his scrunched position and nods saying

"You're right, they look more like burns from a fire, but that isn't possible so it must be something else. As for the not being able to cast magic part, Elder Brother said that Vedova would surpass even him so that isn't all that peculiar."

Knowing the true cause of the marks, i can't help but laugh like some giddy school girl in my head at their faces when they see how i can use all four of the elements.

With a shaky voice as i try to hold back my excitement, i call out to them

"Mom, Dad, can i show you something real quick? I think you might want to see this."

They turn to see what i want, and as they rotate enough to fully see me i have already nearly gathered enough energy in the pit of my stomach to breathe fire.

I figured out why first time burned like hell through trial and error, i was using too much for my body to handle and it was spilling out of my control, thus burning me. I now know the full extent of the fire i should store in my core before i push it out to get the maximum effect.

With my parents fully facing me, i push out the mana in the form of fire from my body. I had already turned my head to aim at a large pile of animal bones for my demonstration.

The fire leaves my mouth at incredible speeds and fully engulfs the targets, going fully past them for a total of 20m length for the stream of fire.

Seconds after the blaze surrounds the bones, they get reduced to nothing but a pile of ash. With more control over the flames, i immediately stop the moment i made the ash.

Not letting my parents react, i take a deep breathe and roar with more force and power than the first time i discovered it. With the roar came a large and violent gust of wind that scatters the ash into millions of particles throughout the room.

After completing my show, i turn to look at the two individuals that i dropped the heavy bombshell onto.

I hear a loud gasp and a KYAAAAA sound belonging to my mother. A few seconds pass and Sahqoviing is the first to gather enough thoughts to make an attempt at speaking, stuttering out

"W-what did you just do? Was that-"

As he tries to finish Vedbrii interrupts him with an understanding expression saying

"Fire and Air magic, our son is the first multi elementalist since Pahborma, do you know what this means?"

After that statement she practically skips over to me an jumps onto my back, giving me a full body hug on the back of my neck. I can hear her quietly whisper in the tune of a song:

"My son is a genius~ he really is~ the strongest Dragon since the Allfather~"

Unlike my mother who took it in a positive way, my father is now kneeling on the ground with an eerie and depressed look about his face and his rapidly speaking in a melancholy voice

"Theres no way he got that talent from me, she must have cheated on me. I know i haven't brought her a child in the thousands of times we tried but to cheat on me? Who was it...i bet it was that white haired pretty boy from the council Sota. That bastard! We have been married for 6000 years and he ruins it? Ill kill him! Ill-"

Before he can continue his fast and sad ramblings a large lightning bolt strikes him from my back and he passes out cold. I can hear and smell the sizzling of my fathers flesh and i shudder hard enough to make my mother laugh and hop off.

As she walks away toward my fried father she looks over her shoulders and lightly laughs out

"Thats right, fear your mother. If you ever grow up like your father i will get a ladder to beat your ass i swear to Pahborma, i dont care how big you get."

The way how she says it so lightly is terrifying, all i can manage to do is fall onto my stomach with a whimper as she peels the man i once knew to be 'Dad' off the stony floor.

With that thing now being dragged behind her, she walks towards the door motioning for me to come along. I look at the narrow door an become scared at the thought of her squeezing me through.

Interrupting my thoughts, she abruptly stops about halfway through and thinks out loud

"Ohhhhh, hes still in dragon form is he? Well we cant have that, i'll have to show him how to transform. Vedova sweety, listen to mommy right now, ok?"

Of course i am not going to object, and i focus everything i have on what she is about to say

"Just think as hard as you can about shifting into a human form, the appearance is automatic so just imagine the shape."

Oh, that isn't too bad...i am definitely not going to share my opinion on being a human again, so i do as im told and try to imagine the outline of a human body in my mind.

After a little bit, i can feel my entire body go numb and my vision fades for a couple seconds. When my eyesight reappears, i am on two legs and i lose my balance, falling onto the hard floor.

I make a field check of my new senses, but i am delighted to discover that they are still the same. I wont be hindered in that aspect, at least.

Now shifting my eyes over to my body, i notice that i am naked. Quickly i cover myself to the best of my ability as my mother grabs the over shirt of my unconscious dad and hands it to me. I grab it with my free hand and immediately put it on.

My father is about 6'7 so the coat is massive on my child like body. If i were to guess, i would say that this human form is closest to that of a ten or 11 year old in height. All of my muscles are slightly bulging, but i am a 10 year old so nothing is visible except for my toned abs.

Seeing as how i won't be getting anything else out of my physical traits, i rub my hair with my now primate like hands and find that i have shoulder length hair.

That wont do, i always hated to have long hair in my old life. With a quick idea, i try to imagine one of my claws on my hand and seconds later one sprouts from my index finger.

Seeing this, my mother makes something like an 'OooOOo' sound and says

"Already shifting your form huh? It's a very basic thing to do, but right after your first shapeshift is impressive. I can't really use everyone else as a basis for you though, now can i you little braniac! And not only that, but you're bigger than what you're supposed to be. Every other Dragon is the size of a 6 year old when they first transform, but here you are as big as a 10 year old human runt."

So i'm bigger in my human form and dragon form? Sweet! But first, i need a haircut. Grabbing a huge chunk of it, i cut at the base an chop off a large chunk. After tidying up a bit, i ask mother for a mirror to use.

She thinks for around 20 seconds and then gets an idea. Lifting up her arm, she smashes the ground beneath her hard enough to disintegrate the stone into sand. After forming the powdery material, she creates a large spark at her fingertip and sends out a tiny lightning bolt to the 'sand'.

As soon as the stream of electricity touches it, the sand melts into a dull mirror the size of a hand. She picks it up and hands it to me, smiling like she is proud of her quick thinking.

Scary, mother is scary...

Hesitantly, i grab the still warm mirror and inspect it. Although primitive, it will work for now.

Looking into it and at my reflection, i see that i have pitch black hair that is still pretty long. I shift my eyes to my face and am surprised to see a pretty boy type character staring right back at me. This kid has slightly pale skin and bright silver eyes, even brighter than my mother.

With a mental whistle at my fortunate looks, i continue giving myself a haircut. A long series of snips and asking an opinion from my mother, i settle on a hairstyle that i like. With my hair still long enough to play around with ans style but short enough to fit military regulation, i hand back the mirror to my mother and she teases me a little bit. (A.N. I would put in a link to a hairstyle but theyre just too long and i have no idea how to make a spoiler thingy to hide it :( )

"Oooh, i like the hair! Im sure you will have no problem finding a mate in a few thousand years

She says it with a wink and i can feel my cheeks redden a little bit. Seeing my flustered state, she laughs again and we leave the room with father being dragged face first on the floor.

--------------------------

It has been exactly 1 day since i awoke from my slumber, currently i am in human form sitting next to my parents in the throne room.

Today is the day where i meet my training partners, since i was the last one to awaken from my sleep the other 3 decided to just meet here. They have been in the city for 4 days, but the guests decided to give me a day to recover and get used to my new self.

They should be here any minute now and i have to be prepared to meet them in a formal way. Apparantly i will be spending the next 20 years with them just training to combat The Great Death.

Several minutes pass and the door opens as 7 individuals walk through the door.

3 children, four parents. With an assortment of differently colored hair, the guests enter at the same time. From left to right, there is a man with bright blue long hair and equally blue eyes. Next to him are two young girls seeming to be around the age of 7, one having white hair hanging freely and one with wavy black hair. Both of their eyes are a bright crystal blue, truly a pretty shade.

Those are the twins that they father was talking about, i can't help but think they look familiar, like i have seen them somewhere...oh well. Just a feeling anyways.

After the two girls is a dignified looking woman with her long black hair styled into a french braid, she has brown eyes to match her hair.

That seems to be the first family, not too bad.

Entering behind them is a tall man with a short black crew cut and a light black beard forming on his cheeks, his eyes are bright yellow and look to have a jolly aura about them. To his right is a woman i presume to be his wife, she also has black hair and she owns emerald green eyes, they have the same happy an humorous look about them as her husband's.

I like this family so far, they look to be fun people. Behind the comedic pair is a young boy with an annoyed look on his face, when he sees me his light blue eyes light up brightly and he starts to run towards me.

Not recognizing the boy who seems to know me, i complete my analysis and discover that his brown hair has the same stupid colic as Tyler does. Immediately understanding who it is i am not sure whether to laugh or cry. (A.N. Had to do it, couldnt resist.)

Choosing to laugh, i burst out laughing hard enough to cause tears of both joy and sorrow to pour freely down my face. The 8 others in the room look confused at our heartfelt reunion, but i ignore them and jump out from my seat, slowly walking towards the 8 year old who i knew in my old world as Tyler.

I stretch out my arms as he draws near and expect him to do the same, like some kind of cliche romance. Instead of the hug i anticipate, i receive a hard punch straight to my jaw. Although not powerful enough to make me step back, it does hurt quite a bit and causes my face to turn violently in the direction that the fist went.

Before i can even ask for why, i get the hug i was expecting initially. Tyler speaks quietly in english so that the others cant understand

"Do you know how hard it was to live after the shit you pulled? I couldn't even feel sorry for myself because of that stupid note you left me, fuck you. Never do that again, do you understand me?"

Shocked at his words, a flood of emotions wash over me as i nod slowly bringing my arms around to embrace my sobbing friend.

Seeing that there is no danger, our parents don't interrupt the bro-moment and i speak into his ear

"How are you here? You shouldn't be dead yet, and how did you know it was me?" My throat is closing now because of the sheer flurry of feelings that are assaulting me, it starts getting slightly hard to breathe.

"God told me about you and this world, he said something about a gift and that time works differently when it comes to him. I couldn't believe what he said until now, you had been dead for 52 years..."

'Ahhh....that makes sense...then does that mean that those twins are-'

Confirming my thoughts, the two girls walk over to just a few meters away and wait patiently. I can make out two stones lodged into the center of their collarbones, one emerald green and one sapphire blue.

There will be a lot of catching up to do, hopefully these two women aren't as emotional as this kid in my arms right now....

(Well thats that, this chapter took forever to write lol, I tried to amplify all of the feels in this one. It was pretty short though so i will be typing out another longer one later today. As for the 3 companions, a lot of you had suspicions about their identities, but now it is confirmed! I think they will be a nice touch to the story, what do you guys think? Make sure to let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading!)
