The Beginning

Inside a big cave, one can see a small child holding a woman covered in blood.

The child cried and said: "Mama..please..don't leave me.." "I don't want to be left alone.. please"

cough...cough "Listen to me Arthur...Mama is...not going to make it..." "I want you to live on...be a strong child of the dragon tribe and find happiness..." Blood poured out of the woman's mouth and with her last breath she said "Now flee my child before they.. get....you..and she brought me far away."

I felt on my knees and shouted and cried for a long time. "hik..hik.. Mama..." After there were no more tears to shed and my lungs couldn´t make a sound anymore, I stood up and my bright green eyes glowed in a dangerous light and burned with hatred.

I swore to himself to kill the people that massacred my tribe and my beloved mother. After that my body was so exhausted that I lost conscious and slept for a whole day.

Where am I?, I wondered. Ah right.. mom teleported me in the middle of nowhere. My mom and my tribe died because of that people..and I couldn't do anything because I was so weak.

That was the first time I hated myself for being weak. If only I were so strong like the fighters of our tribe, I could have fought too..., I thought.

But if I had fought I probably wouldn't be alive and that iwas the only thing that I didn´t regret. Like mom said I had to and wanted to live on. After that I was sure that I had to be strong in order to not get into such situations and to take my revenge.

They must bear the consequences of their deeds, I said with bloodshed eyes.

I have a goal but how am I going to achieve that? I looked in my memory to remind me of what I had learned. So In order to become strong I have to strenghten my body and my mind, I remind me. The tribe members of my clan said that I also have to have real battle experience. When somebody has strength but no experience, the strength is waste.

I knew all the basic informations about the abilities of my dragon race, mana( a possibility for the dragon race is aether. Aether is stronger and better but it comes with a huge risk. The core forming with aether is way more painful), magic and how to become stronger but it is an entire different thing to know something and to do something.

And I also have to create my own techniques besides the dragon race abilities because I am alone and nobody can teache me, what a hassle, I murmured.

Where was I anyway? I looked around and saw a huge forest in front of me. I shouldn´t go there before I am at least a first circle. Hhm I should first find a place where I can become one, I muttered.

After that I walked around to find a good place for my breakthrough.

20 minutes later, I found a flat grass meadow with a slightly big rock in the middle. That shouldn't be too bad, I murmured. I sat on the rock and began to meditate.

Huh.. So what do I do now? Everyone has to form a core in his body to gather mana there. The best place for the core would be left next to the heart, in the middle of the chest, I reminded me with my memories.

I am not going to form a mana core, instead I am going for an aether core.

The tribe members and my mother warned me that it is way harder and painful than a mana core but it is also a lot stronger.

To achieve my goal I have to step over my limits and gain immense strength.Huh..ok.I can do it.

First I have to sit in a meditation position, I thought. Mom said that one has to feel the Mana/Aether around them and then absorb it and form a Mana/Aether core.(Aether is only a stronger form of Mana and both of these energies are in the surroundings. Nobody knows of the way of the aether core except for the dragon race and only the dragon race can form an aether core.)

huh…huh…

After 5 minutes I felt aether and mana around me so I pulled the aether in my body. "Uh…shit… AHH.." I think I am going to pass out…NO I have to do it…huff..huff, I shouted in my mind. I controlled the aether in my body to a core and pressed it together… "AHHHHH AHHHH….huff huff. YES I did it." It was way more painful than I had expected. If it weren't for my dragon body and my willpower to achieve my goal I think I would have exploded. Now I am a first circle, what's next? First I explored my new power.

I felt like 3 times stronger than before and my senses were also 3 times stronger. Now that I was a first circle I could use my aura,

For aura I have to circulate the mana outside of my body…mhmh I think i have it.. ohh my aura is green but it is not as strong as that of my.... tribemates, I arkwardly thought.

I think the aura grows stronger the more circle you have or the more stronger you are in general.

Many also say that if you kill a lot of beasts your presence or aura grows also stronger.

My aura was light green... everyones aura has a different colour based on the person.

But I don´t know what green stands for.. Maybe it has to do with my eyes?, I questioned.

I can form aura but can I also could scan my surroundings....I spreed my aether like 10 meters around me and I felt everything that has to do with mana and aether in this radius.

But the radius isn´t big enough...., I murmured. (Because the aether is only a stronger form of mana you can also sense the mana with an aether core and the people who have a mana core, think you also have one because they can not see the difference between them.)
