Dorian felt his eyes waver as he left the Evolution Space in hisof heaviness sank into his head, as if he had just co around carefully

The world around him seereen trees were richer, the sounds of the forest teeer The world around him had beco was odd, however His perspective of this world… it see at seerown enor about in confusion Abruptly, he looked down at his body and carown It was him that had shrunk!

His body had transforreen scaled lizard, with a pair of tiny wings He had a leathery, scaled hide that glea to the eye He was around half a leaht

-Myyr Dragon &8211; Growth Stage: (1/4) Myyr Hatchling-

&8211; Growth Progress – 2,313/2000 &8211;

He exa it over in his head As he read it, he noticed that his Growth Progress had exceeded the needed value He also noted that the required value was er than the Red Salamander needed

‘Ausra? Why haven’t I evolved into the second Growth Stage?’ He queried

‘After Evolving, your Soul requires a short period of time to adapt to a new fore Therefore, you will require roughly 30 hours for your body to fully adapt to this forer your soul, the less the adaptation period&8221; Ausra’s reply was cool and concise The genie continued,

‘After your Soul has adapted, you may switch freely between any forms you have previously Evolved froue was er than it had been when he was a Red Sala It seemed he would just have to wait

He walked over to a tree, tapping on it several tih it However, with just the physical strength of his body, he was unable to snap the tree like he did when he was an Elder Red Salamander If he exerted hih his Soul Spell Matrix had reached the Sky Class, he was unable to make up for the liht now?’ he enie in his Soul Spell Matrix

‘Myyr Dragons have 4 distinct stages of growth A Myyr Hatchling is typically at the Mortal Class However, with your Sky Class Soul Spell Matrix strengthening your physical form, you are presently an Earth Class beast Once you achieve the 2nd Stage of growth, you should becoed Sky Class beast&8221; Ausra replied

‘Alright’ He shrugged It see he could do about it for now He really would just have to wait out the 30 hours

Well, there was one thing he could do

His eyes gleay to add to his Growth Progress

"Lord Henry&8221; Hadrion gave a nod of recognition to the man before hihtly respectful Black energy floated around his head, vaguely taking on the shape of a halo as he talked

"Lord Hardion I have heard a great deal of your heroic exploits in the worlds of Mesor, Nus you here to Hasnorth? And here, toan expensive silk and lace black set of robes sat upon a throne, staring at the wizard in front of hiue as he spoke, his wizened eyes glea white beard that added to his , blue crown that appeared to be made out of water rested upon his forehead

This was the Lord Class Wizard Henry Mallion, the Ruler of the Obsidia River E talent before hie, experience, and e hall, where several dozen brilliant pillars nificently painted ceiling, a picture of an enorh mountains visible The hall had been cleared for Hadrion when he arrived Only himself, some of his subordinates and the Fate Department Wizards they had tea near theon the throne

"I will not ruff as he spoke, as if not used to interacting with other people,

"His Highness Telate anonals in fate that have appeared in various locations One of these anomalies appeared here on Hasnorth&8221; Hadrion waved his hand behind hiures Larah Consta, a Grandic

Larah nodded her head slightly, replying,

"The Fate Department has pinpointed the occurrences on Hasnorth to the western locale of your empire&8221;

The Ruler of the Obsidia River Ehtly

If this was an order fro his empire could afford to refuse

"We will, of course, cooperate with his highness Telht hint of shock Behind hi agape at Hadrion Faintly, Hardion could make out that they were all decently powerful Wizards, at least at the Granddo any less A kingdonore the word of the Wizard King He turned to look at Larah behind him

Larah stepped all the way forward, her eyes placid

"After consulting with Fate, we have come up with a plan ould like to implein is to locate the areas affected by Fate However, due to the general nature of reading Fate, ould like to ask for your cooperation in expanding a search net, and deploying teams of Wizards to contain the anomaly…&8221;

"Ssaauurrrr&8221; Dorian’s voice was raspy, hissing and nearly inco out at a distant sunset

"Saaooouuuurrr Soouurrr Sooouuurre Soouur Sour Sour&8221; Dorian played with the word in histo properly say it He sot the word to sound out clear

"That fruit was ssoouur&8221; Heto look at anext to hi into a Myyr Hatchling, he had decided to go hunting for beasts to absorb, trying to gain e part of the forest he had spawned in at, so he’dback towards the hty appetizing to him in his draconic for he was much quicker than he had been as an Elder Red Sala froet the hang of that movement style, he’d smashed his face into several different branches, and even a tree trunk once Once he kept at it, though, he ait

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the mountains, the only beasts he ran into were a herd of Iron Oxen h a valley, and an enormous Blue Furred Ape that crashed down in a hurry away fro towards the forest

He wasn’t too keen on trying to fight an entire herd of powerful beasts yet, and the Blue Furred Ape was a Master Class Beast, according to Ausra, and would crush hiht

Thankfully, he’d found a Blue Onion Sweetberry on the way, another type of Magic Herb that added a s him fed

He had returned all the way to the center of the mountains, to the valley between the two shattered peaks

He was currently sitting on a rando out at the sunset wistfully

"Moooothraaa Mottthheeey Motthheerr Motherr Mother&8221; He ons, like most Draconic beasts in the 30,000 worlds, possessed the ability to communicate It required a bit of practice, however

"Fattherr Father&8221; He sighed, his heart all of a sudden feeling heavy As he thought of his mother and father, e world began to flood into his mind

The memories of his previous life flashed before hi parents as an only child His best friends Jessica, Phillip, and Tole when he passed into this world, but he still grieved for the pain his parents ain

Dorian was silent as he looked out at the dying sun, his eyes gli

You never knehat you had till you lost it He regretted not telling his parents he loved the that chance, asking that girl of his drea his final degree, getting in shape

As he lay on that deserted rock, tears began to fall down his face He rocked back and forth, curling up slightly, his s at his emerald scales

A breeze rustled past the eht of day passed, the tendrils of night slowly unveiling The chaotic echoes of the forest began to fade, the world transfor into an abandoned maze of darkness, an eerie reflection of the once full day

Leaving alone a s at a vast, e his eyes He took several deep, ragged breaths, shaking the tears fro light filling theone past? To dwell on regrets was a path of hare what is already done As far as he knew, there was no going back

The Dorian of that world was dead

He was still Dorian, but a Dorian born anew

In this life, he would have no regrets He would live to the fullest, however that would be, and wherever that would take him

Life was too precious to worry about otherwise

He nodded his head and shook out his tiny wings, his eyes sharpening as he turned around,down the mountain towards the s off to restIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
