"You're on the right track, but it's not what I wanted to hear. Eiro, you are simply you. Your race does not matter. You would be you even if you were a goblin, a kobold, or even a human or elf. You will always be a parent, that is something that cannot, and never will, change. And the rest? Those are occupations. They're temporary, but you can basically stop them and pick them up whenever you want. You will only grow in wisdom over the years. Even if you don't teach for hundreds of years, you will still be a great teacher. There's little to no need for you to be an adventurer in the first place, since you're only doing that for your end goal. Once that is achieved, you don't need that title anymore. And a noble? Hah, who needs those anyway? In a few hundred years, they'll be obsolete." The Dragon explained to Eiro, looking him deep into his eyes, "You know that I'm speaking the truth. Right now, you may be all of those things, sure, but are you actually defined by them? The man I know you to be is loving, as he cherishes his family above all else. The man I know is brave and strong, striving for greater heights. And the man I know will never budge to fickle concepts like obligations or rules. You are you. You always were, and you always will be. Even if you become the Monster King, the Hero, or just a simple teacher. You will be you, and you will always return to what you were meant to be. And you are the only one who can choose what that is."
