Sofía, the woman who would serve from that moment on, had not taken her eyes off mine, not even when she named me following her father's orders and in her gaze you could see confidence and firmness. For some reason I fell respect for her, not fear or distrust, I fell that I could be calm next to her.

-Well done, my daughter, you already completed the first step of his instruction and I must tell you that that name suits him perfectly- Although I don't like to admit it, he was right, it fit me like a glove and I honestly liked it.

-Thank you father, I'm glad you say that- From his tone, it seemed that he was just saying that out of respect.

-Now that everything is resolved, your mother and I have pending issues, so we will leave immediately, I trust that you will fulfill your responsibilities and also instruct the little one as it should, right?-

-Of course, father, don't worry-

-Okay, I trusted you, well, let's go, as for you Aido, you already know what to do, you can go-

-The same goes for you Nativi- As soon as the lady of the house said this, both of my parents took flight saying goodbye to those present. Following this, the lords of the house also left, leaving Sofia and me alone.

-At last they left this was already becoming a martyrdom- she said while stretching -Hey Argent I have to go do some shopping, what do you think if you come with me? So I can show you a little about the city and besides that, I want to introduce you to some people- her posture, as well as her gaze had completely relaxed, which made her seem like a completely different person.

-Although I would love to, miss, your father mentioned that he had homework to do, you shouldn't finish what has pending to avoid any inconvenience with your father?- I didn't want his father to get angry because it could also end up affecting my.

-You may be right, I really don't want to listen to my mother scolding me for a whole afternoon- she let out a small sigh -That said, there is something that bothers me, don't be so uptight, relax, I'm not my father so don't worry, you can talk to me in a more natural way-

-Okay, miss, I'm sorry- That annoyed her a little, although I didn't know why.

-That too, it may be that you are my servant but in a certain way you are also my partner, we will take care of ourselves and help each other so don't call me miss, instead you can call me Sofi, okay?-

-Okay… Sofi- That generated a small smile.

-Well, I'm glad we're understanding each other. By the way, I'm surprised how well you speak, besides your manners, it's strange for how young you are-

-I only imitate what I learned from my parents after listening to them talk for a long time, it's not something that impressive-

-On the contrary, not all young people behave like you, you are certainly interesting-

-Thank you miss-

-Hey what did we say-

-Sorry-

-Pfff haha certainly there are things you're slow for, ehh?-At what happened I ended up letting out a little laugh.

-Well I guess I should start doing my chores, by the way it might take a while to finish everything so feel free to do whatever you want, except leave the mansion and don't break anything, okay?-

-Okay- Following this she entered the house losing sight of her, following her advice I decided to lie down on the floor and try to fall asleep. It was certainly different from sleeping in the cave, the feeling of the wind on my scales as well as the soft grass made me fall asleep after a few minutes.

-Argent… Argent… ARGENT- I heard the voice of a woman saying my name, but at that time I still didn't recognize it as mine, so I decided to ignore it and continue sleeping.

-ARGENT WAKE UP, dammit- Seeing that there was no effect she decided to go to the water hole in search of a bucket and as soon as she returned to my side she emptied it completely over my head. Which made me wake up with a start.

-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?-

-Hey, it's not my fault, no matter how much I called you, you didn't wake up, so I had to change my strategy- I ended up apologizing to her with a bit of a bad mood for how she had woken me up.

-I wanted to tell you that I finished with everything I had to do so I'm going out. Are you coming?- I nodded my head and we left the mansion through the backyard door.

After walking for a few minutes we came to what seemed like a pedestrian street. It was certainly interesting how the architecture of the city was organized, this pedestrian street was made up of a fairly wide central street, so much so that in the center there were benches, lampposts and even plants, as well as flags and other types of decoration. There were shops on both sides of the street as far as I could see, each offering a different service.

You could feel how happiness radiated in this place, you could even see the occasional street show from time to time. Among the large number of stores that we passed, there was one that caught my attention. It seemed to be an armory, it was quite wide and was open to the street in order to better show the different weapons it sold, these being divided by category.

I looked at the products that had for sale with some fascination because in my past life I loved melee weapons, so much so that I got to know the history behind their creations and their myths.

But there was one in particular that caught my attention because of its extravagant design. The handle was wrapped in what appeared to be leather, and both the pommel and guard were made of gold. Its large blade was only sharp on one side as well as carrying a beautiful gold pattern. An elegant weapon but one that could only be used by those with great physical strength.

I watched it for a couple of seconds with curiosity and fascination, until for some unknown reason I felt as if I had been priked in the brain. I decided not to give it importance since the pain was not very great and it did not last a second.

-Hey Argent, is there something that interests you?- Sofia had noticed that I stopped following her and that I was distracted by looking at the weapons in the store.

-!Ah¡ sofi I'm sorry I got distracted-

-No problem, it's not that bad either, but what happened?-

-What this store offered caught my attention, they are interesting- I decided to play dumb since the fact that I knew about weapons would be too suspicious when I had never seen them in my life.

-Those are weapons, so to speak, they are tools that are used both to protect your loved ones and to hurt those who want to do something to them, but nowadays they are nothing more than a decoration, like a trophy, because we are not fighting against any enemy and I do not think this will change-

Sofia told me all this with a smile, she could tell that she enjoyed teaching me. But the last thing she said increased the questions I had even more. This being the straw that broke the camel's back, I decided to pass my doubts and looking into Sofía's eyes I told her.

-Sofí I want to ask you a question… you… what are you?-

-Why so serious all of a sudden? If you were so curious, you could have asked before, but answering your question, we are dragons- Even with a smile on his face, she answered my question matter-of-factly without even giving an idea of the bomb he had dropped on me, and without even giving me a second to process what I had heard, she resumed walking to our destination.

-Come on, we're close-
