The next year after his 1st birthday and the party with all of the family and their friends, I found myself thinking back to when I told the knight of my plans. Since I was now a verbal 1 year old and could walk in my human like form, I had decided to tell my parents and siblings of this world about my last life and my promise to the gods of this world, and probably some of my skills. Finding my parents was to hard since the property, though depilated, was still pretty big for the viscount family. As a maid was passing, I spoke you for some help. "miss maid, can you call my family to the sitting room and pour a calming tea. Tell them its important. And can you also get Knight Lurent to go there as well. He will more than likely be in the Arena" maid replies with a "yes Young Master River"
About 45 minutes later had everyone I asked for to be in the room with me. "please sit down everyone. You too Lurent, until I am finished you are off duty or taking a break mandated by 1 year old me." Dad asks "what's going on son? Though were used to these things by now we were so worried when you called us in." everyone agreed with dad with things like "yea" or "yes! What's going on" or from others a grunt of "hnn" "I asked everyone in to talk. I've got to get this off my chest. And I would like no interruptions until I am done. Is that ok?" "yes" and "ok" were all I heard. The seriousness on my face, sobering their minds a bit. "I am a reincarnator from earth. I was a 24-year-old woman when I passed away on earth. The gods of this world noticed my accomplishments and granted me life and gifts on this world to bring about a change of life. In my last world I learned math, English, history and many other things like battles and war. When I felt ok, I learned different fighting techniques including sword and hand to hand. That was why I could tell Knight Lurent was going to be proficient in target-based weapons. The gods gave me the ability to change my form and with my magic I can use any form, not just a dragon. I don't want to succeed the family. And because I am a boy I also don't want to marry until I have found my partner or partners. They gave me a task…. It is to build a city or town of my own and raise it. I was given a castle by the gods with flight and an ability to hide the floating castle in the sky from living creatures. I can use that at any time as I do not have a mana cap and I do not die. Any questions?"
Mom jumps up and says "your still my baby, you don't have to start all of this right away. Right?" "no mom. And I wouldn't abandon you either. When I am older and finally start that task ill make sure to teleport home." Dad looked really happy but the kind of happy that made you look constipated. "dad? You ok over there?" dad looks up sheepishly saying "I'm ok. I am excited that you can help this territory and the others with your knowledge. They must have had ways to prevent the bookkeepers from stealing money and the people from not having enough food" "they did. For the people it was tax based on the land owned and for people buying and selling there was tax. Fluctuating prices form produce were based on the demand for them and in the time, I lived, some of taxes went to the army funds. For the thief double entry forms helped and firing him might be best. I can teach brother and sister how to do the forms." "this is a relief son. So, what other forms do you have?" dad being curious and everyone simply agreeing with his questions had me laughing "well I can grow this form to bigger than the size of a wyvern currently. I also have an earth type crow. It's a black small bird that preys on the dead or forages for food but since I loved them in my past life, I decided to make it one of the other forms I would be able to take. Want to see?" "YES!" said everyone.
'ok well it's a small bird so don't try picking me up. Bird wings are hallowed. And I'll have the knight hold his arm up so I can fly and land on it." He did as I said so I turned into a crow. With silky black wings. I had red and gold eyes like my dragon and human form leading me to think it would be in all of them. When I got to flying around the tiny room, I notice my one adult length wing span and landed on Lurent's arm before I nocked anything over. "wow look at his claws" said my 2nd sister, (they were about chest high to the knight and had a clear view of them. "can I touch your feathers?" asked my first sister and mom. I nodded while communicating via thought 'yes' they were surprised but did anyways, and boy, when they did it felt like heave all over again. The comforting touch or mom and the awed one of sister. The knight was almost petrified in anxiety about dropping me so I told him 'its ok to be afraid. But you won't drop me and even if you do, I am more resilient then my earth birds. I brought you to the meeting because I trust you." Seeing the relief on all of their faces was visible. But I knew what to do. "take me out to the arena and i'll transform again"
