I can't believe it's already been 74 days since I appeared in this world. I thought with exhaustion. Time went by so fast…. 

Our journey was very tiring, at first, I thought it would be on land and that we would rest once night fell, but I was wrong.

"Descend!" Shouted Kadian. Yes! Finally! I thought with excitement.

Only the first two days we traveled above the desert, because on the third, we started flying over the sea and hadn't seen land since then. The dragons in my family had incredible stamina, as they could fly without slowing down for up to 3 days straight, making the journey really fast.

At first, I worried about food or water, but my doubts dissipated as I didn't feel very hungry. In fact, I nursed from my beautiful mother's breast once every three days, which helped me accept that I was no longer human.

"Don't worry, son, I'll feed you soon." Said my mother who, by the way, I found out a couple of days after leaving was named Irisha.

How do you expect me to stay calm… If tonight I'll be able to eat and rest! I thought harshly from the exhaustion.

After descending from the clouds, the dragons stopped several meters above the sea. Then my father raised one of his hands and a shadow could be seen beneath the water. Unsurprisingly, the shadow grew until a stone surface emerged several meters above sea level.

I still don't fully understand that spell, but from what I could see, it creates a surface resembling an island from the depths of the sea and then makes it rise above the waters. I thought while analyzing my father's spell process again.

I know Kadian is strong, I can see that when he does absurd things with such ease. But, I'm intrigued to know if he's truly considered strong in this world…. I reflected for a second before answering myself.

He might not be the strongest, but I think he would be among the strongest in this world, because if he were weak, I think this world would have destroyed itself long ago due to the never-ending wars.

Once the stone platform was ready, the dragons descended and settled on one end of the stone ground. My father unloaded two of the tents and set them up in a couple of seconds thanks to magic.

I heard Kadian explaining the process to my sister before. I thought, trying to recall his words. If I remember correctly, the fabric of our tents contains soil as light as a feather, but when infused with mana, that soil becomes hard and firm, making it the perfect skeleton for a tent.

Kadian and Zoe started putting some things inside the tents. Once they finished setting up the essentials, my mother took me into one of them.

I'm glad to be inside the tents, because it's the least dizzying part of this journey. In fact, in my previous life, I hated traveling, even if it was short trips. I guess hating traveling so much led to my death on one…. I thought, laughing at myself while my mother fed me.

During the day, you only see the sky, the sea, and the clouds. At night, almost infinite stars illuminate the clouds along with the moon. Ah… I yawned tiredly. Being in this tent reminds me that I'm not some kind of bird, flying and flying south in its migration process… I thought, laughing at the comparison.

I really enjoyed talking to myself, because it made me feel like my sanity was intact.

Once I finished eating, for some reason my mother took me to the other tent, as that had never happened before, I was a bit surprised. But…. Why can't I stay with her?

Still in her arms, Irisha gently placed me in my crib, wrapping me in some very soft fabrics before leaving the tent.

What happened? Why am I only with my sister? I wondered as I saw Zoe alone with me. She only came close for a moment to check on me, then stepped away and started getting ready for bed.

Why won't I sleep with my parents tonight? Do they not love me anymore? I thought mockingly within my thoughts. As if my parents would abandon me along with my sister in the middle of the sea, hahaha….

Once Zoe was ready, she approached my crib again to give me a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Ahh… Wait! What was that supposed to be? A goodnight? I thought as she moved away and lay down on her bed. The culture of this world is a bit strange….

Just as I was about to fall asleep, some very strange noises started coming from outside the tent, making me alert.

What's happening? Could it be sea creatures? Or maybe… Are my parents really going to abandon us? Worried, I closed my eyes to listen more clearly.

No, I don't think so, after all, this sound is coming from the other tent—It can't be! I quickly opened my eyes and hid under the blankets full of embarrassment upon realizing it was the moans of my mother.

I didn't expect to hear that…. I thought timidly.

I tried to sleep to not think about weird things but in the end, I couldn't, due to the peculiar noise that didn't stop in the other tent. Tired, I decided to distract myself by reviewing Bernal's knowledge again.

What? There's no more!? I thought frustrated at not finding anything new. Damn it, despite its length, I've already processed all its information.

During all this time, I had hardly discovered anything new since that time I had fixed my core. Besides, since we hardly stopped traveling, I didn't have many opportunities to review its information. Still, the little I could discover were the three abilities granted by Bernal's Divine Spark, something about the languages of this world, and how I can improve my mana core in the future.

Right! Now that I think about it, the time Bernal placed his hand on my head, he gave me the language of his race, thanks to that we could speak. I thought, remembering that crazy day. I wish I could speak it with this body, but I think I'll have to wait for my mouth to get used to the movement before I can speak any language.

And right! When Bernal's fragment entered my body, I also learned two other languages, if I remember correctly they are called the Worldly and the Divine. I don't know what to think about learning 3 languages in less than 5 minutes. I thought awkwardly.

Counting those 3, in total, I would know 6 languages. I thought proudly. Spanish, English, Japanese, Dragonish, Divine, and Worldly… I could say I'm multilingual, right? I thought with a silly smile on my face.

Well, I shouldn't be happy about something I didn't even put effort into. I reflected a bit realizing my mistake.

Thinking about the power of magic made my chest burn with excitement to use it, so I slowly raised my little hands and placed them on my chest. I really want to experiment with mana… but I can't do it with my parents so close, if they were to realize that their 74-day-old son can already manipulate mana, it would make them suspicious. I thought followed by a sigh and lowering my hands again.

For now, I have to focus on growing both in wisdom and physically. I concluded, before settling down again to sleep, now that I no longer heard my parents.

The next morning, my mother came happier than usual to pick me up. Looks like you had a good time… well, they are a young couple after all.

°°°

"Swaford is ahead!" Shouted Kadian from the other dragon. "It's true... we've arrived." Confirmed my mother.

What? Where!? I can't see anything! I complained to myself as I kept seeing only the sea and the sky.

"I don't see anything." Said Zoe just like me. "To see it, imbue more mana in your eyes, daughter." Commented Irisha.

"Let's see... Wow, it's true! We're close!" My sister shouted full of excitement. Ahhh!! That's not fair!

It had taken us 107 days to cross the sea riding on Mork and Ness, but after so much torture, we were finally close to solid ground.

"We'll go east so they don't see the dragons!" Shouted Kadian again, bringing me back to reality.

After traveling for several minutes, I could see land in the distance just like my family. A large cliff divided the sea and the land, and much farther away, several mountains could be seen covering the area like sentinels.

The dragons kept flying past the cliff, some meadows, a river, and even a small forest.

"We'll descend!" Said Kadian, descending along with his dragon. On the other hand, ours followed immediately until we reached the mouth of a large cave near the mountains. Once we landed, we all dismounted.

Huh? And Swaford? I thought a bit confused. "We'll rest until nightfall, and then your mother and I will go for supplies in Swaford." Kadian told Zoe before setting up the tents inside the cave.

Tired, my mother Irisha put me in my crib before going to sleep.

Apparently, my mother was not used to sleeping so little because I always saw her tired during the journey unlike Kadian and even Zoe. Could it be that my father's race doesn't need to eat or sleep much unlike my mother's?

Making a mental note to find out more about it once I grow up, I slowly fell asleep due to the exhaustion and stress of the journey. I can't think very well... I'm so tired, it would be best to rest. I told myself.

But I'm glad to know that we finally reached land.... Were my weak and final thoughts before I fell deeply asleep.
